Section 1.08       Pro Forma Calculations.

(a)       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, financial ratios and tests, including the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio or any leverage ratio used in any First Lien Financing Document or any Second Lien Financing Document in connection with the incurrence of Indebtedness permitted by Section 7.03 or Liens permitted by Section 7.01 (each, a “Term Loan Leverage Ratio”), and compliance with covenants determined by reference to Consolidated EBITDA or Total Assets, shall be calculated in the manner prescribed by this Section 1.08; provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in clauses (b), (c), (d) or (e) of this Section 1.08, when calculating any such ratio or test for purposes of the definition of “Applicable Rate” or Section 7.11 (other than for the purpose of determining Pro Forma Compliance with Section 7.11), the events described in this Section 1.08 that occurred subsequent to the end of the applicable Test Period shall not be given pro forma effect and (B) when calculating any such ratio or test for purposes of the incurrence of any Indebtedness, cash and Cash Equivalents resulting from the incurrence of any such Indebtedness shall be excluded from the pro forma calculation of any applicable ratio or test for purposes of determining net Indebtedness. In addition, whenever a financial ratio or test is to be calculated on a pro forma basis, the reference to the “Test Period” for purposes of calculating such financial ratio or test shall be deemed to be a reference to, and shall be based on, the most recently ended Test Period for which internal financial statements of the Parent Borrower are available (as determined in good faith by the Administrative Borrower) (it being understood that for purposes of determining Pro Forma Compliance with Section 7.11, if no Test Period with an applicable level cited in Section 7.11 has passed, the applicable level shall be the level for the first Test Period cited in Section 7.11 with an indicated level). For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the foregoing sentence shall not apply for purposes of calculating any such ratio or test for purposes of the definition of “Applicable Rate” or Section 7.11 (other than for the purpose of determining Pro Forma Compliance with Section 7.11), each of which shall be based on the financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(a) or (b), as applicable, for the relevant Test Period.

(b)       For purposes of calculating any financial ratio or test or compliance with any covenant determined by reference to Consolidated EBITDA or Total Assets (including the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio or any Term Loan Leverage Ratio), Specified Transactions (with any incurrence or repayment of any Indebtedness in connection therewith to be subject to clause (d) of this Section 1.08 (other than Indebtedness incurred or repaid under any revolving credit facility or line of credit)) that have been made (i) during the applicable Test Period or (ii) if applicable as described in clause (a) above, subsequent to such Test Period and prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio is made shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming that all such Specified Transactions (and any increase or decrease in Consolidated EBITDA, Total Assets and the component financial definitions used therein attributable to any Specified Transaction) had occurred on the first day of the applicable Test Period (or, in the case of Total Assets, on the last day of the applicable Test Period). If since the beginning of any applicable Test Period any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged, amalgamated or consolidated with or into the Parent Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries since the beginning of such Test Period shall have made any Specified Transaction that would have required adjustment pursuant to this Section 1.08, then such financial ratio or test (or Consolidated EBITDA or Total Assets) shall be calculated to give pro forma effect thereto in accordance with this Section 1.08.

-72

(c)       Whenever pro forma effect is to be given to the Transactions, a Specified Transaction or the implementation of an operational initiative or operational change, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Administrative Borrower and may include, for the avoidance of doubt, the amount of “run-rate” cost savings, operating expense reductions, operating initiatives, other operating improvements and synergies projected by the Administrative Borrower in good faith to be realized as a result of specified actions taken, committed to be taken or expected to be taken (in the good faith determination of the Administrative Borrower) (calculated on a pro forma basis as though such cost savings, operating expense reductions, operating initiatives, other operating improvements and synergies had been realized on the first day of such period and as if such cost savings, operating expense reductions and synergies were realized during the entirety of such period) and “run-rate” means the full recurring benefit for a period that is associated with any action taken, committed to be taken or with respect to which substantial steps have been taken or are expected to be taken (including any savings expected to result from the elimination of a public target’s compliance costs with public company requirements) net of the amount of actual benefits realized during such period from such actions, and any such adjustments shall be included in the initial pro forma calculations of such financial ratios or tests and during any subsequent Test Period in which the effects thereof are expected to be realized relating to the Transactions, such Specified Transaction or such implementation of an operational initiative or operational change; provided that (A) such amounts are reasonably identifiable and factually supportable in the good faith judgment of the Administrative Borrower, (B) except as set forth in the definition of Consolidated EBITDA, such actions are taken, committed to be taken or with respect to which substantial steps have been taken or are expected to be taken no later than twenty-four (24) months after the date of the Transactions, such Specified Transaction or implementation of such operational initiative or operational change, (C) no amounts shall be added pursuant to this clause (c) to the extent duplicative of any amounts that are otherwise added back in computing Consolidated EBITDA (or any other components thereof), whether through a pro forma adjustment or otherwise, with respect to such period, (D) it is understood and agreed that, subject to compliance with the other provisions of this Section 1.08(c), amounts to be included in pro forma calculations pursuant to this Section 1.08(c) may be included in Test Periods in which the Specified Transaction to which such amounts relate to is no longer being given pro forma effect pursuant to Section 1.08(b) and (E) any increase in Consolidated EBITDA as a result of cost savings, operating expense reductions, operating initiatives, other operating improvements and synergies pursuant to this Section 1.08(c) (other than related to the Transactions) shall be subject to the limitation set forth in clause (a)(vii) of the definition of Consolidated EBITDA.

(d)       In the event that (w) the Parent Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries incurs (including by assumption or guarantees) or repays (including by redemption, repayment, amortization, retirement, discharge, defeasance or extinguishment) any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness incurred or repaid under any revolving credit facility or line of credit), (x) the Parent Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries issues, repurchases or redeems Disqualified Equity Interests, (y) any Restricted Subsidiary issues, repurchases or redeems Preferred Stock or (z) other than for the purposes of determining compliance with Section 7.11 (including Pro Forma Compliance with Section 7.11), any Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries establishes or eliminates (or designates or undesignates) any Designated Revolving Commitments, in each case included in the calculations of any financial ratio or test, (i) during the applicable Test Period or (ii) subsequent to the end of the applicable Test Period and prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio is made, then such financial ratio or test shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such incurrence or repayment of Indebtedness, or such issuance or redemption of Disqualified Equity Interests or Preferred Stock, in each case to the extent required, as if the same had occurred on the last day of the applicable Test Period (except in the case of the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (or similar ratio), in which case such incurrence, assumption, guarantee, redemption, repayment, retirement, discharge, defeasance or extinguishment of Indebtedness or such issuance, repurchase or redemption of Disqualified Equity Interests or Preferred Stock will be given effect, as if the same had occurred on the first day of the applicable Test Period) and for all purposes, other than for the purposes of determining compliance with Section 7.11 (including Pro Forma Compliance with Section 7.11), such financial ratio or test shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to the full amount of any undrawn Designated Revolving Commitments as if such full amount of Indebtedness thereunder had been incurred thereunder throughout such period.

(e)       If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the date of the event for which the calculation of the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (or similar ratio) is made had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any interest hedging arrangements applicable to such Indebtedness). Interest on a Capitalized Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a Financial Officer of the Administrative Borrower to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capitalized Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP. Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a Eurocurrency Rate interbank offered rate, or other rate, shall be determined to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the Parent Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiaries may designate.

-73

(f)       (I) In connection with the calculation of the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio or any Term Loan Leverage Ratio for purposes of incurring Indebtedness (including Preferred Stock) or Disqualified Equity Interests under this Agreement, no effect (pro forma or otherwise) shall be given to any Indebtedness (or Preferred Stock) or Disqualified Equity Interests being incurred (or commitments obtained) on the same date (or on a such other subsequent date which otherwise require Pro Forma Effect to be given to such incurrence (or obtaining of commitments)) pursuant to any fixed dollar basket or basket based on Consolidated EBITDA; and (II) in connection with the calculation of the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio or any Term Loan Leverage Ratio for purposes of incurring any Lien under this Agreement, no effect (pro forma or otherwise) shall be given to any Liens being incurred on the same date (or on a such other subsequent date which otherwise require Pro Forma Effect to be given to such incurrence) pursuant to any fixed dollar basket or basket based on Consolidated EBITDA.

(g)       Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any Loan Document to the contrary, when (a) determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement which requires the calculation of the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio or any Term Loan Leverage Ratio, (b) determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement which requires that no Default, Event of Default or Specified ABL Default has occurred, is continuing or would result therefrom, (c) determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement which requires compliance with any representations and warranties set forth herein, (d) testing availability under baskets set forth in this Agreement (including baskets measured as a percentage of Consolidated EBITDA) or (e) calculating Excess Availability, Historical Excess Availability, and/or Specified Availability, in each case in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, the date of determination of such ratio or other provisions, determination of whether any Default, Event of Default or Specified ABL Default has occurred, is continuing or would result therefrom, determination of compliance with any representations or warranties or the availability under any baskets shall, at the option of the Administrative Borrower (the Administrative Borrower’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction, an “LCT Election”, which LCT Election may be in respect of one or more of clauses (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above), be deemed to be the date the definitive agreements (or other relevant definitive documentation) for such Limited Condition Transaction are entered into (the “LCT Test Date”). If on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such Limited Condition Transaction and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including any incurrence or issuance of Indebtedness, Disqualified Equity Interests or Preferred Stock and the use of proceeds thereof), with such ratios and other provisions calculated as if such Limited Condition Transaction or other transactions had occurred at the beginning of the most recent Test Period ending prior to the LCT Test Date for which internal financial statements are available (as determined in good faith by the Administrative Borrower), the Parent Borrower could have taken such action on the relevant LCT Test Date in compliance with the applicable ratios, default provisions or other provisions, such ratios, default provisions or other provisions shall be deemed to have been complied with on such date (the “LCT Consummation Date”); provided that (i) on the relevant LCT Test Date, the Payment Conditions shall be required to be satisfied and (ii) on the relevant LCT Consummation Date, sufficient Excess Availability exists for purposes of the incurrence of any extension of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility in connection with such Limited Condition Transaction (if Loans are to be made or Letters of Credit are to be issued) on such date. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) if, following the LCT Test Date, any of such ratios, default provisions or other provisions are exceeded or breached as a result of fluctuations in such ratio (including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA or other components of such ratio (including due to fluctuations of the Target of any Limited Condition Transaction, including its cash and Cash Equivalents or the amount of such Indebtedness)) or other provisions at or prior to the consummation of the relevant Limited Condition Transaction, such ratios, default provisions or other provisions will not be deemed to have been exceeded or failed to have been satisfied as a result of such fluctuations solely for purposes of determining whether the Limited Condition Transaction is permitted hereunder and (ii) such ratios and compliance with such conditions shall not be tested at the time of consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction or related Specified Transactions. If the Administrative Borrower has made an LCT Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio, basket availability or compliance with any other provision hereunder (other than actual compliance with the Financial Covenant) on or following the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earliest of the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated and the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such ratio, basket or compliance with any other provision hereunder shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence or issuance of Indebtedness, Disqualified Equity Interests or Preferred Stock, and the use of proceeds thereof) had been consummated on the LCT Test Date; provided that for purposes of any such calculation of the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, Consolidated Fixed Charges will be calculated using an assumed interest rate for the Indebtedness to be incurred in connection with such Limited Condition Transaction based on the indicative interest margin contained in any financing commitment documentation with respect to such Indebtedness or, if no such indicative interest margin exists, as reasonably determined by the Administrative Borrower in good faith.

Section 1.09       Currency Generally.

For purposes of determining compliance with Sections 7.01, 7.03, 7.05, 7.06 and 7.13 and the definition of Permitted Investments with respect to any amount of Indebtedness or Investment in a currency other than Dollars, no Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of changes in rates of currency exchange occurring after the time such Indebtedness or Investment is incurred (so long as such Indebtedness or Investment, at the time incurred, made or acquired, was permitted hereunder).

For purposes of determining any leverage-based ratio or test under this Agreement, the amount of Indebtedness shall reflect the currency translation effects, determined in accordance with GAAP, of Swap Contracts permitted hereunder for currency exchange risks with respect to the applicable currency in effect on the date of determination of the Dollar equivalent of such Indebtedness.

Section 1.10       Letters of Credit.

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

Article II.
THE COMMITMENTS AND CREDIT EXTENSIONS

Section 2.01      .

(a)       [Reserved].

(b)       The Revolving Credit Borrowings. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Revolving Credit Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment severally agrees to make loans denominated in Dollars or another Available Currency pursuant to Section 2.02 from its applicable Lending Office to the Borrowers from time to time, on any Business Day during the Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding that will not (after giving effect to any concurrent use of the proceeds thereof to repay LC Disbursements) result in (i) such Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment or (ii) the Total Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding the Total Revolving Credit Commitments. Within the limits of each Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrowers may borrow under this Section 2.01(b), prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow under this Section 2.01(b) without premium or penalty (subject to Section 3.05) during the Availability Period. Revolving Credit Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans, as further provided herein.

(c)       Total Revolving Credit Exposure. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, subject to Section 2.01(d), Revolving Credit Loans shall not be made (and shall not be required to be made) by any Lender in any instance where the incurrence thereof (after giving effect to the use of the proceeds thereof on the date of the incurrence thereof to repay any amounts theretofore outstanding pursuant to this Agreement) would cause the Total Revolving Credit Exposure to exceed the Line Cap at such time.

-75

(d)       Agent Advance. In the event that (i) any Borrower is unable to comply with the limitation set forth in Section 2.01(c) or (ii) such Borrower is unable to satisfy the conditions precedent to the making of Revolving Credit Loans set forth in Section 4.02, in either case, the Lenders, subject to the immediately succeeding proviso, hereby authorize the Administrative Agent (including through an Affiliate or branch), for the account of the applicable Lenders, to make Revolving Credit Loans to such Borrower, in either case solely in the event that the Administrative Agent in its Permitted Discretion deems necessary or desirable (A) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, (B) to enhance the likelihood of repayment of the Obligations or (C) to pay any other amount chargeable to any Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including, expenses and fees, which Revolving Credit Loans may only be made as Base Rate Loans (each, an “Agent Advance”) for a period commencing on the date the Administrative Agent first receives a Committed Loan Notice requesting an Agent Advance or otherwise makes an Agent Advance until the earlier of (x) the date such Borrower is again able to comply with the Borrowing Base limitations and the conditions precedent to the making of Revolving Credit Loans, or obtain an amendment or waiver with respect thereto, (y) the date that is thirty (30) days after the funding of the initial Agent Advances and (z) the date the Required Lenders instruct the Administrative Agent to cease making Agent Advances (in each case, the “Agent Advance Period”); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not make any Agent Advance to the extent that at the time of the making of such Agent Advance, the amount of such Agent Advance (I) when added to the aggregate outstanding amount of all other Agent Advances made to the Borrowers at such time, would exceed 10% of the Borrowing Base at such time or (II) when added to the Total Revolving Credit Exposure as then in effect (immediately prior to the incurrence of such Agent Advance), would exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitments at such time. Agent Advances may be made by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion and the Borrowers shall have no right whatsoever to require that any Agent Advances be made.

(e)       Mandatory Borrowing. On any Business Day (but in any event no less frequently than once per week), the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion give notice to the Lenders that the Administrative Agent’s outstanding Agent Advances shall be funded with one or more Borrowings of Revolving Credit Loans (provided that such notice shall be deemed to have been automatically given upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 8.01(f) or upon the exercise of any of the remedies provided in the last paragraph of Section 7.01), in which case one or more Borrowings of Revolving Credit Loans constituting Base Rate Loans (each such Borrowing, a “Mandatory Borrowing”) shall be made on the immediately succeeding Business Day by all applicable Lenders pro rata based on each such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (determined before giving effect to any termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to Section 8.02) and the proceeds thereof shall be applied directly by the Administrative Agent to repay the Administrative Agent for such outstanding Agent Advances. Each Lender hereby irrevocably agrees to make Revolving Credit Loans upon one (1) Business Day’s notice pursuant to each Mandatory Borrowing in the amount and in the manner specified in the preceding sentence and on the date specified in writing by the Administrative Agent notwithstanding (i) the amount of the Mandatory Borrowing may not comply with the minimum Borrowing amounts otherwise required hereunder, (ii) whether any conditions specified in Section 4.02 are then satisfied, (iii) whether a Default or an Event of Default then exists, (iv) the date of such Mandatory Borrowing, (v) the amount of the Borrowing Base at such time and (vi) whether such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment has been terminated at such time. In the event that any Mandatory Borrowing cannot for any reason be made on the date otherwise required above (including, as a result of the commencement of a proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law with respect to any Borrower), then each Lender hereby agrees that it shall forthwith purchase (as of the date the Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have occurred, but adjusted for any payments received from the Borrowers on or after such date and prior to such purchase) from the Administrative Agent such participations in the outstanding Agent Advances as shall be necessary to cause the applicable Lenders to share in such Agent Advances ratably based upon their respective Revolving Credit Commitments (determined before giving effect to any termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to Section 8.02); provided that (x) all interest payable on the Agent Advances shall be for the account of the Administrative Agent until the date as of which the respective participation is required to be purchased and, to the extent attributable to the purchased participation, shall be payable to the participant from and after the time any purchase of participations is actually made and (y) at the time any purchase of participations pursuant to this sentence is actually made, the purchasing Lender shall be required to pay the Administrative Agent interest on the principal amount of the participation purchased for each day from and including the day upon which the Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have occurred to but excluding the date of payment for such participation, at the overnight Federal Funds Rate for the first three (3) days and at the interest rate otherwise applicable to Revolving Credit Loans maintained as Base Rate Loans hereunder for each day thereafter.

(f)       Debt Assumption. Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Loan Documents to the contrary:

(i)        On the Closing Date, immediately after the consummation of the Merger and upon the effectiveness of the ExistingOriginal Credit Agreement, the Initial Borrower became the sole Borrower under the ExistingOriginal Credit Agreement and under the Loan Documents.

(ii)       On the Closing Date, immediately after the payment of any Transaction Expenses payable on the Closing Date, the Company became a party hereto and to the Loan Documents and became the Parent Borrower and all rights, title, interests, liabilities, duties and obligations (including the Indebtedness and Obligations of the Initial Borrower) in, to and under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any other documents in connection therewith were assumed by the Company and the Company agreed to pay, perform and discharge all of the Initial Borrower’s obligations and covenants as “Parent Borrower” and a “Loan Party” thereunder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and otherwise be liable for such Indebtedness and to perform and discharge all of the Obligations and any and all obligations under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any other documents in connection therewith (the transactions described in this Section 2.01(f)(ii), collectively, the “Debt Assumption”). Immediately after the Debt Assumption, the Closing Date Refinancing was consummated. For the avoidance of doubt, any references to “this Agreement” in this Section 2.01(f)(ii) shall mean: (x) prior to the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date, the ExistingOriginal Credit Agreement and (y) on and after the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date, the ExistingOriginal Credit Agreement as amended pursuant to Amendment No. 1.

Section 2.02       Loans and Borrowings.

(a)       Each Revolving Credit Loan (other than a Swing Line Loan or an Agent Advance) shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Revolving Credit Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitments of the applicable Class. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder. Any Agent Advance and any Swing Line Loan shall be made in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.01 and Section 2.04, respectively.

(b)       Subject to Section 3.03, (i) each Revolving Credit Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans as the Administrative Borrower may request in accordance herewith, (ii) each Revolving Credit Borrowing consisting of Base Rate Loans shall be comprised entirely of Base Rate Loans and (iii) each Revolving Credit Borrowing consisting of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be comprised entirely of Eurocurrency Rate Loans. Each Lender at its option may make any Eurocurrency Rate Loan or Base Rate Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided, that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the applicable Lender to make such Loan and the obligation of the applicable Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(c)       At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Eurocurrency Rate Loan, such Borrowing shall be in an increment of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof; provided, that a Revolving Credit Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the Revolving Credit Commitments under the applicable Revolving Credit Facility or that is required to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.03(e). Borrowings of more than one Type and Class may be outstanding at the same time; provided, that there shall not, at any time, be more than a total of ten (10) Interest Periods outstanding.

(d)       Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrowers shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the applicable Maturity Date for such Borrowing.

(e)       To request a Revolving Credit Borrowing (other than a Swing Line Loan), the Administrative Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request electronically (such notice in respect of the initial Credit Extensions, or in connection with any Permitted Acquisition or other transaction permitted under this agreement, may be conditioned on the occurrence of the Closing Date or the occurrence of such Permitted Acquisition or other transaction, as applicable, so long as the Borrowers indemnify the Lenders for any amounts that would be payable under Section 3.05) (a) in the case of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, three (3) Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing (other than Eurocurrency Rate Loans to be incurred on the Closing Date for which notice may be given not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing Date) and (b) in the case of a Base Rate Loan including Agent Advances), not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing.

(ix) the Borrowing Base at such time; and

(x) in the case of an Base Rate Loan, whether the Revolving Credit Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing constitute Agent Advances (it being understood that the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to make such Agent Advance).

If no election as to the Type of Revolving Credit Borrowing is specified, then the requested Revolving Credit Borrowing shall be deemed to be a Base Rate Loan. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurocurrency Rate Loan, then the Administrative Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one (1) month’s duration. Promptly following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice in accordance with this Section 2.02(e), the Administrative Agent shall advise each applicable Lender under the relevant Facility of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing. The Administrative Agent may act without liability upon the basis of communications submitted electronically of such Borrowing or prepayment, as the case may be, believed by the Administrative Agent in good faith to be from a Responsible Officer of the Administrative Borrower.

Section 2.03       Letters of Credit.

(a)       Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, any Issuing Bank, in reliance on the agreements of the Lenders set forth in Section 2.03(d), agrees to issue trade and standby Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars or another Available Currency for the account of any Borrower, or the account of such Borrower for the benefit of any Restricted Subsidiary, in each case, on any Business Day during the applicable Availability Period in such form as may be approved from time to time by such Issuing Bank; provided, that no Issuing Bank shall have any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, (i) the LC Exposure with respect to Letters of Credit would exceed the LC Sublimit, (ii) the Total Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed the Line Cap at such time, or (iii) such Letter of Credit is to be issued in any currency other than Dollars. Additionally, no Issuing Bank shall be under any obligation to issue or renew any Letter of Credit if the Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Administrative Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of Credit for the benefit of any Borrower or applicable Restricted Subsidiary, in a form reasonably acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period (but not later than the date that is three (3) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date, unless Cash Collateralized or backstopped on terms reasonably acceptable to the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent)); provided, further, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Issuing Bank shall have any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such Issuing Bank applicable to letters of credit generally. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of the LC Application or other agreement submitted by the Administrative Borrower to, or entered into by the applicable Borrower with, the applicable Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. Any purported grant of a security interest in any LC Document shall be null and void.

(b)       To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Administrative Borrower shall hand deliver or fax (or transmit electronically if (i) Bank of America, N.A. is the applicable Issuing Bank or (ii) arrangements for doing so have been approved by any other applicable Issuing Bank) to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (at least three (3) Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent) in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section 2.03), the amount and currency of such Letter of Credit, the applicable Borrower with respect to such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by an Issuing Bank, the Administrative Borrower also shall submit a LC Application on such Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Administrative Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (A) the LC Exposure with respect to Letters of Credit shall not exceed the LC Sublimit, (B) the Total Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed the sum of the Total Revolving Credit Commitments at such time and (C) the Total Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Line Cap at such time.

(c)       Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) (A) with respect to any standby Letter of Credit, the date that is one (1) year after the date of issuance of such standby Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, the date that is one (1) year after the date of such renewal or extension) and (B) with respect to any trade Letter of Credit, the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of issuance of such trade Letter of Credit and (ii) the date that is three (3) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date (unless other provisions or arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank shall have been made with respect to such Letter of Credit). If the Administrative Borrower so requests in any notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank shall issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions (each, an “Auto Renewal Letter of Credit”); provided, that the Administrative Borrower shall be required to make a specific request to the applicable Issuing Bank for any such renewal. Once an Auto Renewal Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized the renewal of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the earlier of (i) the date that is one (1) year from the date of such renewal (or such longer period as may be agreed by the applicable Issuing Bank three (3) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date (unless other provisions or arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank shall have been made with respect to such Letter of Credit); provided, that the applicable Issuing Bank shall not permit any such renewal if such Issuing Bank has determined that it would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its renewed form under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of Section 4.02 or otherwise).

(d)       By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of any Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the applicable Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Lender (with respect to each Letter of Credit), and each Lender hereby acquires from the applicable Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, (A) each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each LC Disbursement with respect to a Letter of Credit made by such Issuing Bank, in Dollars, and not reimbursed by the applicable Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section 2.03, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the applicable Borrower for any reason in respect thereof. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this Section 2.03(d) in respect of Letters of Credit and such Lender’s obligations under Section 2.03(e) are absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender may have against the applicable Issuing Bank, the applicable 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 Article IV, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the applicable Borrower, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Borrowers, any other Loan Party or any other Lender or any reduction in or termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

-79

(e)       If any Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement, in the same currency as the LC Disbursement, not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day that the Administrative Borrower receives notice that such LC Disbursement is made (or, if the Administrative Borrower receives such notice after 12:00 noon, New York City time, not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time on the Business Day immediately following the day that the Administrative Borrower receives such notice); provided, that (if the conditions of Sections 4.02(a), (b) and (d) are satisfied) the applicable Borrower shall have the absolute and unconditional right to require that such payment be financed with a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, in each case in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the applicable Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Revolving Credit Borrowing. If the applicable Borrower fails to make such payment when due, or finance such payment in accordance with the proviso to the preceding sentence, the applicable Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of the applicable LC Disbursement and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the applicable Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Pro Rata Share of the payment then due from the applicable Borrower by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date such notice is received (or, if such Lender shall have received such notice later than 1:00 noon, New York City time on such day, not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the immediately following Business Day), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the applicable Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse any Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the applicable Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement. If any Lender shall not have made its Pro Rata Share of an LC Disbursement available to the Administrative Agent as provided above, such Lender and the applicable Borrower severally agree to pay interest on such amount, for each day from and including the date such amount is required to be paid in accordance with this Section 2.03(e) to but excluding the date such amount is paid, to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank at (i) in the case of the Borrowers, a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans and (ii) in the case of such Lender, for the first such day, the Federal Funds Rate, and for each day thereafter, the Base Rate.

(f)       Each Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in Section 2.03(e) and each Lender’s obligations under paragraphs (d) and (e) of this Section 2.03 shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the applicable Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, (iv) any adverse change in the exchange rate or in the availability of an Available Currency to any Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries or in the relevant currency markets generally, or (v) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.03, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, each Borrower’s obligations hereunder. None of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, or any of their respective Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the applicable Issuing Bank; provided, that the provisions of this Section 2.03(f) shall not be construed to excuse the applicable Issuing Bank from liability to any Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to indirect, consequential, special and punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by such Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by such Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of any Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the applicable Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in material compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, in good faith either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

-80

(g)       Each Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank. Each Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Borrower electronically of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided, that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the applicable Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(h)       If any Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the applicable Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the applicable Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum equal to the Base Rate; provided, that, if the applicable Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement, including by requiring that such payment be financed with a Base Rate Loan pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 2.03, then Section 2.08(b) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 2.03 to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

(i)       An Issuing Bank may resign upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Agent. An Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank (provided, that no consent of the replaced Issuing Bank will be required if it has no Letters of Credit or Reimbursement Obligations with respect thereto outstanding) and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such resignation or replacement of such Issuing Bank. At the time any such resignation or replacement shall become effective, the Borrowers shall pay all unpaid fees in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility, in each case, accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.09(d). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the resignation or replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the resigned or replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to renew existing Letters of Credit or issue additional Letters of Credit.

-81

(j)       If any Event of Default under Section 8.01(f) with respect to the Parent Borrower or any Borrower shall occur and be continuing or if the Loans have been accelerated pursuant to Section 8.02 as a result of any Event of Default, on the Business Day that the Administrative Borrower receives notice from an Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50.0% of the total LC Exposure), in each case, demanding the deposit of Cash Collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the applicable Borrower, shall deliver Cash Collateral to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the applicable Lenders, an amount in cash equal to 102% of the applicable LC Exposure as of such date. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Letter of Credit obligations (including related fees and expenses) of the applicable Borrower under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made in Cash Equivalents at the option and reasonable discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the applicable Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be released by the Administrative Agent to be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and to pay all fees and expenses relating to Letters of Credit that were not otherwise paid when due and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the applicable Borrower for the applicable LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50.0% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of such Borrower under this Agreement. If any Borrower is required to provide an amount of Cash Collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default specified above, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to such Borrower within two (2) Business Days after such Event of Default has been cured or waived (unless the Revolving Credit Commitments have been terminated and the Obligations have been accelerated, in each case in accordance with Section 8.02).

(k)       If the Maturity Date of any Class of Revolving Credit Commitments occurs prior to the expiration of any Letter of Credit, then (i) if one or more other Classes of Revolving Credit Commitments in respect of which the Maturity Date shall not have occurred are then in effect and such Letter of Credit would otherwise be available under such Class of Revolving Credit Commitments, such Letter of Credit shall automatically be deemed to have been issued (including for purposes of the obligations of the Lenders to purchase participations therein and to make payments in respect thereof pursuant to Sections 2.03(d) and (e)) under (and ratably participated in by the Lenders pursuant to) the Revolving Credit Commitments in respect of which the Maturity Date shall not have occurred up to an aggregate amount not to exceed the aggregate amount of the unutilized Revolving Credit Commitments thereunder at such time (it being understood that no partial face amount of any Letter of Credit may be so reallocated) and (ii) to the extent not reallocated pursuant to the immediately preceding clause (i), the applicable Borrower shall Cash Collateralize any such Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 2.03(j). For the avoidance of doubt, commencing on the Maturity Date of any Class of Revolving Credit Commitments, the sublimit for Letters of Credit under any Class of Revolving Credit Commitments that has not so then matured shall be as agreed in the relevant Extension Amendment with the applicable Lenders.

(l)       If the Maturity Date occurs prior to the expiration of any Letter of Credit, then the applicable Borrower shall Cash Collateralize any such Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 2.03(j).

(m)       If any LC Exposure exists at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

(i)       all or any part of the LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility, but only to the extent (A) the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposure plus such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Commitments and (B) the Revolving Credit Exposure of each non-Defaulting Lender after giving effect to such reallocation does not exceed the Revolving Credit Commitment of such non-Defaulting Lender;

(ii)       if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, each Borrower shall, within three (3) Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent, Cash Collateralize for the benefit of each applicable Issuing Bank in accordance with Section 2.03(j) only such Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 8.02 for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;

-82

(iii)       if a Borrower Cash Collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, such Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.09(d) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is Cash Collateralized except to the extent of such fees that became due and payable by such Borrower prior to the date such Lender became a Defaulting Lender (it being understood that any Cash Collateral provided pursuant to this Section 2.03 shall be released promptly following the termination of the Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender);

(iv)       if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.09(c) and (d) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Pro Rata Share; and

(v)       if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither reallocated nor Cash Collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, (A) without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Bank or any other Lender hereunder, all fees payable under Section 2.09(d) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to each applicable Issuing Bank until and to the extent that such LC Exposure is reallocated and/or Cash Collateralized and (B) the applicable Issuing Bank will have no obligation to issue new Letters of Credit, or to extend or renew existing Letters of Credit to the extent LC Exposure would exceed the non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Commitments, unless such Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is Cash Collateralized to the Issuing Bank’s reasonable satisfaction.

(n)       Schedule 1.01F contains a schedule of certain letters of credit issued prior to the Closing Date by Bank of America, N.A. for the account of the Beta Entities and the Omega Entities. On the Closing Date (i) such letters of credit, to the extent outstanding, shall be deemed to be Letters of Credit issued pursuant to this Section 2.03 for the account of the Borrowers, (ii) the face amount of such letters of credit shall be included in the calculation of LC Obligations and (iii) all liabilities of the Borrowers with respect to such letters of credit shall constitute Obligations.

Section 2.04        Swing Line Loans.

(a)       Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender may in its discretion, and in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.04, make available loans in Dollars to the Borrowers (the “Swing Line Loans”) from time to time during the Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swing Line Loans exceeding the Swing Line Sublimit or (ii) the Total Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding the Line Cap at such time; provided, further, that the Swing Line Lender shall not be required to make a Swing Line Loan to refinance an outstanding Swing Line Loan. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrowers may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swing Line Loans. To request a Swing Line Loan, the Administrative Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request electronically in the form of a Swing Line Loan Notice, not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day of a proposed Swing Line Loan. Each such Swing Line Loan Notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of the requested Swing Line Loan. The Administrative Agent will promptly advise the Swing Line Lender of any such Swing Line Loan Notice received from the Administrative Borrower. The Swing Line Lender shall make each Swing Line Loan available to the Borrowers by means of a credit to the account identified in the Swing Line Loan Notice (including, in the case of a Swing Line Loan made to finance the reimbursement of a LC Disbursement, by remittance to the applicable Issuing Bank, and in the case of repayment of another Loan or fees or expenses as provided by Section 2.04(c), by remittance to the Administrative Agent to be distributed to the Lenders) on the requested date of such Swing Line Loan.

(b)       Settlement of Swing Line Loans among Lenders and Administrative Agent shall take place on a date determined from time to time by Administrative Agent (but at least weekly, unless the settlement amount is less than $5,000,000), on a pro rata basis in accordance with the settlement report delivered by Administrative Agent to the Lenders. Between settlement dates, Administrative Agent may in its discretion apply payments on Revolving Credit Loans to Swing Line Loans, regardless of any designation by Administrative Borrower or any provision herein to the contrary.

-83

(c)       In addition, the Swing Line Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Business Day require the Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the Swing Line Loans outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swing Line Loans in which Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Swing Line Loan or Loans. Each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swing Line Lender, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Swing Line Loan or Loans. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.12 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.12 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swing Line Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Administrative Borrower of any participations in any Swing Line Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph. Any amounts received by the Swing Line Lender from the Borrowers (or other party on behalf of any Borrower) in respect of a Swing Line Loan after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swing Line Lender, as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the Swing Line Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to any Borrower for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swing Line Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Borrowers of any default in the payment thereof.

Section 2.05        Prepayments.

(a)       Optional. (i) The Borrowers may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent by the Borrowers, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay any Class or Classes of Revolving Credit Loans of any Class or Classes in whole or in part without premium or penalty (other than as required by Section 3.05); provided that (1) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:30 a.m. (A) three (3) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans and (B) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (2) any prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be in a minimum principal amount of $1,000,000, or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding; and (3) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a minimum principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding.

Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrowers, the Borrowers shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.

(iii)        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrowers may rescind (or delay the date of prepayment identified in) any notice of prepayment under Section 2.05(a)(i) or 2.05(a)(ii) if such prepayment would have resulted from a refinancing of all or a portion of the applicable Facility or the occurrence of another event, which refinancing or other event shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed; provided that the Borrowers shall pay to the applicable Lenders all amounts payable under Section 3.05 in connection with such rescission.

(b)        Mandatory. (i) If for any reason, at any time the Total Revolving Credit Exposure exceeds the Line Cap, the applicable Borrowers shall within one (1) Business Day after receipt of written notice thereof from the Administrative Agent prepay Revolving Credit Loans and/or Cash Collateralize Letters of Credit (in accordance with Section 2.03(j)) in an aggregate amount equal to the amount that Total Revolving Credit Exposure exceeds the Line Cap.

(ii)        Amounts to be applied pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) shall be applied to reduce Revolving Credit Exposure (it being understood that Revolving Credit Exposure shall be deemed reduced to the extent of any Cash Collateralization of LC Exposure solely for purposes of determining whether any further mandatory prepayment is required); provided that to the extent that any Revolving Credit Exposure is reduced by prepaying Revolving Credit Loans, such amounts shall be applied (A) first, to reduce outstanding Revolving Credit Loans consisting of Base Rate Loans and (B) any amounts remaining after each such application shall be applied to prepay outstanding Revolving Credit Loans consisting of Eurocurrency Rate Loans in a manner that minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 3.05. No permanent reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments will be required in connection with any prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.05.

(c)       Interest Funding Losses, Etc. (i) Except to the extent otherwise agreed by each Lender so being prepaid, all prepayments of Loans (other than any Revolving Credit Loan that is a Base Rate Loan and any Swing Line Loan) shall be accompanied by all accrued and unpaid interest thereon to but not including the date of such prepayment, together with, in the case of any such prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan on a date prior to the last day of an Interest Period therefor, any amounts owing in respect of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan pursuant to Section 3.05.

(ii)        Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of this Section 2.05, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if any prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans is required to be made under this Section 2.05, prior to the last day of the Interest Period therefor, in lieu of making any payment pursuant to this Section 2.05 in respect of any such Eurocurrency Rate Loan prior to the last day of the Interest Period therefor, the Borrowers may, in its sole discretion, irrevocably deposit an amount sufficient to make any such prepayment otherwise required to be made thereunder together with accrued interest to the last day of such Interest Period into a Cash Collateral Account until the last day of such Interest Period, at which time the Administrative Agent shall be authorized (without any further action by or notice to or from any Borrower or any other Loan Party) to apply such amount to the prepayment of such Loans in accordance with this Section 2.05. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall also be authorized (without any further action by or notice to or from the Borrowers or any other Loan Party) to apply such amount to the prepayment of the outstanding Loans in accordance with the relevant provisions of this Section 2.05. Such deposit shall be deemed to be a prepayment of such Loans by the Borrowers for all purposes under this Agreement at the time of such prepayment.

Section 2.06        Termination or Reduction of Commitments.

(a)       Optional. The Borrowers may, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the unused Commitments of any Class, or from time to time permanently reduce the unused Commitments of any Class, in each case without premium or penalty; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent at least 11:00 a.m. three (3) Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $1,000,000, or any whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the entire amount thereof, (iii) any termination or permanent reduction of any Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.06(a) shall be applied as directed by the Borrower, including as to any Class of Extended Revolving Credit Commitments or existing Revolving Credit Commitments (including any Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments), (iv) if, after giving effect to any reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments, the LC Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Revolving Credit Facility, such sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess and (v) in any event, the applicable Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Credit Loans in accordance with Section 2.05, the Total Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed the Line Cap at such time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Borrower may rescind or postpone any notice of termination of any Commitments prior to the effectiveness of such termination if such termination would have resulted from a refinancing of all or a portion of the applicable Facility or other conditional event, which refinancing or other conditional event shall not be consummated or otherwise shall be delayed. Except as provided above, the amount of any such Revolving Credit Commitment reduction shall not be applied to the LC Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit unless otherwise specified by the Borrowers.

(b)       Mandatory. The Revolving Credit Commitment of each Revolving Credit Lender of a Class shall automatically and permanently terminate on the Maturity Date for such applicable Class of Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that (x) the foregoing shall not release any Revolving Credit Lender from any liability it may have for its failure to fund Revolving Credit Loans, LC Credit Extensions or participations in Swing Line Loans that were required to be funded by it on or prior to such Maturity Date and (y) the foregoing will not release any Revolving Credit Lender from any obligation to fund its portion of LC Credit Extensions or participations in Swing Line Loans with respect to Letters of Credit issued or Swing Line Loans made prior to such Maturity Date, in each case, other than to the extent such participations have been reallocated pursuant to the terms hereof. The commitments of the Issuing Banks to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letters of Credit shall automatically terminate on the earlier to occur of (i) the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and (ii) the date that is three (3) Business Days prior to the applicable Maturity Date.

(c)       Application of Commitment Reductions; Payment of Fees. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Appropriate Lenders of any termination or reduction of unused portions the unused Commitments of any Class under this Section 2.06. Upon any reduction of unused Commitments of any Class, the Commitment of each Lender of such Class shall be reduced by such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount by which such Commitments are reduced (other than the termination of the Commitment of any Lender as provided in Section 3.07). All commitment fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Commitments of any Facility shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.

Section 2.07        Repayment of Loans.

(a)       [Reserved].

(b)       Revolving Credit Loans. The Borrowers shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Appropriate Lenders on the Maturity Date for any Class of Revolving Credit Commitments the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans made in respect of such Revolving Credit Commitments.

-86

(c)       Swing Line Loans. The Borrowers shall repay the aggregate principal amount of each Swing Line Loan on the earlier to occur of (i) thirty (30) days after such Loan is made and (ii) the Latest Maturity Date for the Revolving Credit Commitments.

Section 2.08        Interest.

(a)       Subject to the provisions of Section 2.08(b), (i) each Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate; (ii) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate; and (iii) each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate for Revolving Credit Loans made under the Initial Revolving Credit Commitments.

(b)       During the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a), the Borrowers shall pay interest on past due amounts owing by it hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws; provided that no interest at the Default Rate shall accrue or be payable to a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender. Accrued and unpaid interest on such amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon written demand.

(c)       Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

Section 2.09        Fees.

(a)       [Reserved].

(b)       Agent Fees. The Borrowers shall pay to the Agents and the Commitment Parties such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever (except as expressly agreed between the Borrowers and the applicable Agent or Commitment Party).

(c)       Commitment Fee. The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lenders) in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, a commitment fee for the period from the Closing Date to but excluding the Maturity Date (or such earlier date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments shall have expired or terminated) equal to the Commitment Fee Rate divided by three hundred and sixty (360) days and multiplied by the number of days in the fiscal quarter and then multiplied by the amount, if any, by which the Average Facility Balance with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility for such fiscal quarter (or portion thereof that the Revolving Credit Commitments are in effect) is less than the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that if the Revolving Credit Commitments are terminated on a day other than the first day of a fiscal quarter, then any such fee payable for the fiscal quarter in which termination shall occur shall be paid on the effective date of such termination and shall be based upon the number of days that have elapsed during such period. The foregoing notwithstanding, in accordance with Section 2.14(b), the applicable lenders may consent to a different Commitment Fee Rate to be paid pursuant to the terms of any applicable Incremental Amendment or Extension Offer. Accrued Commitment Fees shall be payable in arrears on the first day of each January, April, July and October of each year and on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments terminate, commencing on September 30, 2019. All Commitment Fees shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(d)       Letter of Credit Fees. (i) Each applicable Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the same Applicable Rate used to determine the interest rate applicable to Eurocurrency Rate Loans on the average daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure in respect of Letters of Credit (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure with respect to any Letters of Credit. Each Borrower, severally but not jointly, agrees to pay to each Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate of 0.125% per annum on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) attributable to the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank on account of such Borrower during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure attributable to the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, as well as such Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Accrued participation fees and fronting fees under this paragraph (b) shall be payable in Dollars on the first day of each January, April, July and October of each year and on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments terminate, commencing on September 30, 2019; provided, that any such fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to any Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within thirty (30) days after written demand therefor. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day)

-87

Section 2.10        Computation of Interest and Fees.

All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans (including Base Rate Loans determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate) shall be made on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty-five (365) days, or three hundred sixty-six (366) days, as applicable, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year and actual days elapsed, or, in the case of interest in respect of Loans denominated in an Available Currency other than Dollars as to which market practice differs from the foregoing, in accordance with such market practice. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid; provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12(a), bear interest for one (1) day. In computing interest on any Loan, the day such Loan is made or converted to a Loan of a different Type shall be included for purposes of calculating interest on a Loan of such different Type and the date such Loan is repaid or converted to a Loan of a different Type, as the case may be, shall be excluded. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

Section 2.11        Evidence of Indebtedness.

(a)       The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and evidenced by one or more entries in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent, acting solely for purposes of United States Treasury Regulation Section 5f.103-1(c) and Section 1.163-5(b) of the proposed United States Treasury Regulations, as agent for the Borrowers, in each case in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be prima facie evidence absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrowers and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrowers hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent, as set forth in the Register, in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note payable to such Lender, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

-88

(b)       In addition to the accounts and records referred to in Section 2.11(a), each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records and, in the case of the Administrative Agent, entries in the Register, evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

(c)       Entries made in good faith by the Administrative Agent in the Register pursuant to Sections 2.11(a) and (b), and by each Lender in its account or accounts pursuant to Sections 2.11(a) and (b), shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers to, in the case of the Register, each Lender and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, absent manifest error; provided that the failure of the Administrative Agent or such Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 2.12        Payments Generally.

(a)       All payments to be made by the Borrowers shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in Same Day Funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Appropriate Lender its Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s applicable Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. shall in each case be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by the Borrowers shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

(b)       Unless the Borrowers or any Lender has notified the Administrative Agent, prior to the date, or in the case of any Base Rate Loans, prior to 1:00 p.m. on the date of such payment, any payment is required to be made by it to the Administrative Agent hereunder (in the case of the Borrowers, for the account of any Lender or an Issuing Bank hereunder or, in the case of the Lenders, for the account of any Swing Line Lender, Issuing Bank or Borrowers hereunder), that the Borrowers or such Lender, as the case may be, will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers or such Lender, as the case may be, has timely made such payment and may (but shall not be so required to), in reliance thereon, make available a corresponding amount to the Person entitled thereto. If and to the extent that such payment was not in fact made to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds, then:

(i)       if the Borrowers failed to make such payment, each Lender shall forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the portion of such assumed payment that was made available to such Lender in Same Day Funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds at the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect; and

(ii)       if any Lender failed to make such payment, such Lender shall forthwith on demand pay to the Administrative Agent the amount thereof in Same Day Funds, together with interest thereon for the period from the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers to the date such amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent (the “Compensation Period”) at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. When such Lender makes payment to the Administrative Agent (together with all accrued interest thereon), then such payment amount (excluding the amount of any interest which may have accrued and been paid in respect of such late payment) shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in the applicable Borrowing. If such Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent may make a demand therefor upon the Borrowers, and the Borrowers shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon for the Compensation Period at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest applicable to the applicable Borrowing. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any rights which the Administrative Agent or the Borrowers may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

-89

With Respect to any payment that the Administrative Agent makes for the account of the Lenders hereunder as to which the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that any of the following applies (such payment referred to as the “Rescindable Amount”) : (1) the Borrower has not in fact made such payment; (2) the Administrative Agent has made a payment in excess of the amount so paid by the Borrower (whether or not then owed); or (3) the Administrative agent has for any reason otherwise erroneously made such payment; then each of the Lenders, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount so distributed to such Lender, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

A written notice (including documentation reasonably supporting such request) of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrowers with respect to any amount owing under this Section 2.12(b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

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

(d)       The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan or to fund any such participation on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan or purchase its participation.

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

(f)       Whenever any payment received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents is insufficient to pay in full all amounts due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on any date, such payment shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent and applied by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the order of priority set forth in Section 8.03. If the Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the Obligations of the Loan Parties under or in respect of the Loan Documents under circumstances for which the Loan Documents do not specify the manner in which such funds are to be applied, the Administrative Agent may (to the fullest extent permitted by mandatory provisions of applicable Law), but shall not be obligated to, elect to distribute such funds to each of the Lenders in accordance with such Lender’s Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement of the sum of (a) the Outstanding Amount of all Loans outstanding at such time and (b) the Outstanding Amount of all LC Obligations outstanding at such time, in repayment or prepayment of such of the outstanding Loans or other Obligations then owing to such Lender.

-90

Section 2.13        Sharing of Payments.

If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein or required by court order, any Lender shall obtain payment of any principal of or interest on account of the Loans made by it, or payment in respect of the participations in LC Obligations and Swing Line Loans held by it, any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) in excess of its ratable share (or other share contemplated hereunder) thereof, such Lender shall immediately (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans made by them and/or such subparticipations in the participations in LC Obligations or Swing Line Loans held by them, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment in respect of any principal of or interest on such Loans or such participations, as the case may be, pro rata with each of them; provided that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the purchasing Lender in its discretion), such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered, without further interest thereon. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made by the Borrowers or application of funds pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement as in effect from time to time (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), (B) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant permitted hereunder, (C) [reserved], (D) in connection with a transaction pursuant to an Extension Amendment or Incremental Amendment, (E) the application of Cash Collateral as provided herein (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender) or (F) non-pro rata payments and repayments permitted pursuant to Section 2.16(b). The Borrowers agree that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff, but subject to Section 10.09) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender was the direct creditor of the Borrowers in the amount of such participation. The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section 2.13 and will in each case notify the Lenders following any such purchases or repayments. Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall from and after such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.13 or elsewhere in this Agreement, the Borrower may extend the final maturity of Revolving Credit Commitments in connection with an Extension that is permitted under Section 2.16 without being obligated to effect such extensions on a pro rata basis among the Lenders (it being understood that no such extension (i) shall constitute a payment or prepayment of Revolving Credit Loans, as applicable, for purposes of this Section 2.13. Furthermore, the Borrower may take all actions contemplated by Section 2.16 in connection with any Extension (including modifying pricing, amortization and repayments or prepayments), and in each case such actions shall be permitted, and the differing payments contemplated therein shall be permitted without giving rise to any violation of this Section 2.13 or any other provision of this Agreement.

Section 2.14        Incremental Facilities.

(a)       At any time and from time to time, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Administrative Borrower may, by notice to the Administrative Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders), request to incur one or more increases in the Revolving Credit Commitments (“Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments” or the “Incremental Facilities”); provided, that at the time of the effectiveness of each Incremental Amendment, no Specified ABL Default has occurred and is continuing or shall result therefrom (and, in connection with any Incremental Facility to fund a Permitted Acquisition or permitted Investment, no Specified Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing as of the date of the definitive acquisition agreements for such Permitted Acquisition or permitted Investment entered into). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, without the consent of the Required Lenders, the aggregate principal amount of the Incremental Facilities shall not exceed $50,000,000 (which, for the avoidance of doubt, will be reduced to $25,000,000 following the incurrence of the 2020 Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments on the Amendment No. 13 Effective Date). All Incremental Revolving Commitments shall be in an integral multiple of $250,000 and in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $5,000,000 (or in such lesser minimum amount agreed by the Administrative Agent); provided, that such amount may be less than the applicable minimum amount if such amount represents all the remaining availability in respect of the Incremental Facilities.

-91

(b)       Any Incremental Revolving Commitment shall be on terms identical to the Revolving Credit Commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility proposed to be increased thereby, including with respect to having the same Guarantors and being secured by the same Collateral on a pari passu basis with the applicable Facility subject to such increase except that the Maturity Date of an Incremental Revolving Commitment shall be no earlier (but may be later) than the Revolving Credit Commitments proposed to be increased. Unless the Incremental Revolving Commitment and the Revolving Credit Commitments proposed to be increased have different Maturity Dates, such Incremental Revolving Commitment shall be deemed a Revolving Credit Commitment of the applicable Revolving Credit Facility or both Revolving Credit Facilities, as the case may be, pursuant to the applicable Incremental Amendment (it being understood that an Incremental Facility establishing Incremental Revolving Commitments will not create a separate Revolving Credit Facility and such Incremental Revolving Commitments will be deemed a part of the applicable Revolving Credit Facility); provided, that the Applicable Rate and the Commitment Fee Rate, in each case applicable to the Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Credit Loans of such Revolving Credit Facility, may be increased, without the consent of any Lender, in connection with the incurrence of any Incremental Revolving Commitment such that the Applicable Rate and the Commitment Fee Rate of such Revolving Credit Commitments are identical to those of the Incremental Revolving Commitments.

(c)       Each notice from any Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall set forth the requested amount of the relevant Incremental Revolving Commitments. Any Additional Lenders that elect to extend Incremental Revolving Commitments shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Borrower, and, to the extent its consent would be required with respect to an assignment to such Additional Lender under Section 10.07(b), the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender and each Issuing Bank (in each case, any approval thereof not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), and, if not already a Lender, shall become a Lender under this Agreement pursuant to an Incremental Amendment. Each Incremental Facility shall become effective pursuant to an amendment (each, an “Incremental Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Administrative Borrower, any applicable Borrowers, such Additional Lender or Additional Lenders and the Administrative Agent. No Incremental Amendment shall require the consent of any Lenders or any other Person other than the Administrative Borrower, any applicable Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Additional Lenders with respect to such Incremental Amendment. The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into Incremental Amendments and, as appropriate, amendments to the other Loan Documents as may be necessary in order to establish new tranches or sub-tranches in respect of the existing Revolving Credit Commitments and such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Borrower and the applicable Borrower to effect the provisions of this Section 2.14 (including to provide for class voting provisions applicable to the Additional Lenders on terms comparable to the provisions of Section 10.01). In addition, if so provided in such Incremental Amendment and with the consent of the applicable Issuing Banks, participations in Letters of Credit expiring on or after the Maturity Date shall be re-allocated from Lenders holding Revolving Credit Commitments to Lenders holding Incremental Revolving Commitments, be deemed to be participation interests in respect of such Incremental Revolving Commitments and the terms of such participation interests (including the participation fees applicable thereto) shall be adjusted accordingly. No Lender shall be obligated to provide any Incremental Revolving Commitments, unless it so agrees. Revolving Credit Commitments in respect of any Incremental Revolving Commitments shall become Revolving Credit Commitments under this Agreement. The effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment (each, an “Incremental Facility Closing Date”) shall, unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent and the Additional Lenders party thereto, be subject to (i) the payment in full of all fees and expenses owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in respect of such Incremental Facility, to the extent invoiced prior to such date and (ii) on the date of the effectiveness of the Incremental Revolving Commitments thereunder, no Specified ABL Default shall exist after giving effect to such Incremental Revolving Commitments (or, in the case of a Permitted Acquisition, permitted Investment or Limited Condition Transaction, no Specified ABL Default (as determined in accordance with Section 1.08(g)) shall exist on the LCT Test Date and no Specified Event of Default shall exist on the date that such Incremental Revolving Commitments become effective). Upon each increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments of a Revolving Credit Facility pursuant to this Section 2.14, each Lender under such Revolving Credit Facility immediately prior to such increase will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each Lender providing a portion of the Incremental Revolving Commitment (each an “Incremental Lender”) in respect of such increase, and each such Incremental Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed, a portion of such Lender’s participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit under the applicable Revolving Credit Facility 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 held by each Lender in such Revolving Credit Facility (including each such Incremental Lender) will equal the percentage of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments of all Lenders in such Revolving Credit Facility represented by such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment thereunder. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent may, in consultation with the Administrative Borrower, take any and all actions as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that, after giving effect to any Incremental Revolving Commitment, the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans are held by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares in respect of the applicable Revolving Credit Facility. The foregoing may be accomplished at the discretion of the Administrative Agent, following consultation with the Administrative Borrower, (A) by requiring the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans to be prepaid with the proceeds of a new Revolving Credit Borrowing, (B) by causing non-increasing Lenders to assign portions of their outstanding Revolving Credit Loans to new or increasing Lenders, (C) by a combination of the foregoing or (D) by any other means agreed to by the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Borrower, and any such prepayment or assignment shall be subject to Section 3.05 but shall otherwise be without premium or penalty. 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 any of the transactions effected pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence. For the avoidance of doubt, no existing Lender shall be required to participate in an Incremental Facility without its consent.

Section 2.15        Interest Elections.

(a)       Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Committed Loan Notice and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Committed Loan Notice; provided, that, if the Administrative Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in the Committed Loan Notice, then the Loans shall be made as Base Rate Loans and if the Administrative Borrower requests a Borrowing of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have requested an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Thereafter, the Administrative Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section 2.15. The Administrative Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.15, the Administrative Borrower will not be permitted to change the currency of any Borrowing, except by repaying a Borrowing with a new Borrowing. This Section 2.15 shall not apply to Swing Line Borrowings or Agent Advances, which may not be converted or continued.

(b)       To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.15, the Administrative Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election electronically by the time that a Committed Loan Notice would be required under Section 2.02(e) if the Administrative Borrower were requesting a Revolving Credit Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such Committed Loan Notice submitted electronically shall be irrevocable.

(c)       Each Committed Loan Notice submitted electronically shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.2(e):

(i)       the Borrower with respect to such Borrowing;

(ii)       the Borrowing to which such Committed Loan Notice applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iv) and (v) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

-93

(iii)       the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Committed Loan Notice, which shall be a Business Day;

(iv)       whether the resulting Borrowing is to be a Base Rate Loan or a Eurocurrency Rate Loan; and

(v)       if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurocurrency Rate Loan, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.

If any such Committed Loan Notice requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Administrative Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one (1) month’s duration.

(d)       Promptly following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise each applicable Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e)       If the Administrative Borrower fails to deliver a timely Committed Loan Notice with respect to a Eurocurrency Rate Loan prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein at the end of such Interest Period, such Borrowing shall be converted to a Base Rate Loan. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Administrative Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (x) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurocurrency Rate Loan and (y) unless repaid, at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, each Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall be converted to an Base Rate Loan.

Section 2.16        Extension of Revolving Credit Loans.

(a)       [Reserved].

(b)       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, pursuant to one or more offers (each, an “Extension Offer”) made from time to time by the Administrative Borrower to all Lenders of any Revolving Credit Facility with Revolving Credit Commitments with a like maturity date on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments under such Revolving Credit Facility with a like maturity date) and on the same terms to each such Lender, the Administrative Borrower is hereby permitted to consummate from time to time transactions with individual Lenders that accept the terms contained in such Extension Offers to extend the maturity date of each such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitments of such Revolving Credit Facility and otherwise modify the terms of such Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to the terms of the relevant Extension Offer (including by increasing the interest rate or fees payable in respect of such Revolving Credit Commitments (and related outstandings)) (each, an “Extension”, and each group of Revolving Credit Commitments, as so extended, as well as the original Revolving Credit Commitments of such Revolving Credit Facility (not so extended), being a “tranche”; any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments shall constitute a separate tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments from the tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments of such Revolving Credit Facility from which they were extended), so long as the following terms are satisfied with respect to each applicable Revolving Credit Facility: (i) except as to pricing (including interest rates, fees and funding discounts), conditions precedent and maturity (which shall be set forth in the relevant Extension Offer), the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Lender that agrees to an Extension with respect to such Revolving Credit Commitment (an “Extending Lender”) extended pursuant to an Extension (an “Extended Revolving Credit Commitment”), and the related outstandings, shall be a Revolving Credit Commitment (or related outstandings, as the case may be) with the same terms as the original Revolving Credit Commitments (and related outstandings) (provided, that (1) assignments and participations of Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and Extended Revolving Credit Loans shall be governed by the same assignment and participation provisions applicable to Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Credit Loans of such Revolving Credit Facility and (2) at no time shall there be Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder (including Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and any original Revolving Credit Commitments) which have more than four different maturity dates), (ii) if the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Commitments in respect of which Lenders shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Commitments offered to be extended by the Administrative Borrower pursuant to such Extension Offer, then the Revolving Credit Loans of such Lenders shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts (but not to exceed actual holdings of record) with respect to which such Lenders have accepted such Extension Offer and (iii) all documentation in respect of such Extension shall be consistent with the foregoing.

-94

(c)       With respect to all Extensions consummated by the Administrative Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.16, (i) such Extensions shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of this Agreement and (ii) each Extension Offer shall specify the minimum amount of Revolving Credit Commitments of each Revolving Credit Facility to be tendered. The transactions contemplated by this Section 2.16 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest or fees in respect of any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Offer) shall not require the consent of any Lender or any other Person (other than as set forth in clause (c) below), and the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including Sections 2.02(c), 2.05 and 2.12) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.16 shall not apply to any of the transactions effected pursuant to this Section 2.16.

(d)       No consent of any Lender or any other Person shall be required to effectuate any Extension, other than the consent of the Administrative Borrower, each applicable Borrower and each Lender agreeing to such Extension with respect to one or more of its Revolving Credit Commitments (or a portion thereof) and the Issuing Bank (if applicable), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. All Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and all obligations in respect thereof shall be Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that are secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with the applicable Facility subject to such Extension Amendment. The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (an “Extension Amendment”) with the Administrative Borrower and each applicable Borrower as may be necessary in order to establish new tranches or sub-tranches in respect of Revolving Credit Commitments of each Revolving Credit Facility so extended and such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Borrower to effect the provisions of this Section 2.16 (including in connection with the establishment of such new tranches or sub-tranches, or to provide for class voting provisions applicable to the Additional Lenders on terms comparable to the provisions of Section 10.01). In addition, if so provided in such Extension Amendment and with the consent of the applicable Issuing Banks, participations in Letters of Credit expiring on or after the Maturity Date shall be re-allocated from Lenders holding Revolving Credit Commitments to Lenders holding Extended Revolving Credit Commitments in accordance with the terms of such Extension Amendment; provided, however, that such participation interests shall, upon receipt thereof by the relevant Lenders holding Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, be deemed to be participation interests in respect of such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and the terms of such participation interests (including the commission applicable thereto) shall be adjusted accordingly.

(e)       In connection with any Extension, the Administrative Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent at least five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior written notice thereof, and shall agree to such procedures (including regarding timing, rounding and other adjustments and to ensure reasonable administrative management of the credit facilities hereunder after such Extension), if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably, to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.16.

(f)       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, at any time and from time to time following the establishment of a Class of Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, the Administrative Borrower may offer any Lender of a Revolving Credit Facility that had been subject to an Extension Amendment (without being required to make the same offer to any or all other Lenders) who had not elected to participate in such Extension Amendment the right to convert all or any portion of its Revolving Credit Commitments into such Class of Extended Revolving Credit Commitments of such Revolving Credit Facility; provided, that (i) such offer and any related acceptance shall be in accordance with such procedures, if any, as may be reasonably requested by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent; (ii) such additional Extended Revolving Credit Commitments shall be on identical terms (including as to the proposed interest rates and fees payable, but excluding any arrangement, structuring or other fees payable in connection therewith that are not generally shared with the relevant Lenders) with the existing Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, (iii) any Lender which elects to participate in an Extension Amendment pursuant to this clause (f) shall enter into a joinder agreement to the respective Extension Amendment, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and executed by such Lender, the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Borrower and any other applicable Borrowers and (iv) any such additional Extended Revolving Credit Commitments shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $1,000,000 (or, in the case of an outstanding Class with an entire outstanding principal amount of existing Revolving Credit Commitments less than a $1,000,000 that is to be refinanced in full, such outstanding principal amount or commitments), unless each of the Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Loans made as provided above shall be treated as part of the Class to which such Loans are added, and shall not constitute a new Class of new Extended Revolving Credit Commitments.

-95

Section 2.17        Defaulting Lenders.

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

(i)       Waivers and Amendments. That Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 10.01.

(ii)       Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Bank or Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by the Issuing Bank or Swing Line Lender, to be held as Cash Collateral for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Swing Line Loan or Letter of Credit; fourth, as the Borrowers may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Bank or Swing Line Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Issuing Bank or Swing Line Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrowers against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or LC Borrowings in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans or LC Borrowings were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and LC Borrowings owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or LC Borrowings owed to, that Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.17(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

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

-96

(iv)       Reallocation of Pro Rata Share to Reduce Fronting Exposure. During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each Non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans pursuant to Sections 2.03 and 2.04, the “Pro Rata Share” of each Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Loans and LC Obligations shall be computed without giving effect to the Revolving Credit Commitment of that Defaulting Lender; provided that the aggregate obligation of each Non-Defaulting Lender under a Class of Revolving Credit Commitments to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (1) the Revolving Credit Commitment under such Class of that Non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the sum of (A) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Credit Loans, (B) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided under this Agreement (immediately prior to giving effect to such applicable reallocation) of the LC Obligations and (C) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided under this Agreement (immediately prior to giving effect to such applicable reallocation) of the Swing Line Loans, in each case, under such Class of Revolving Credit Commitments of that Non-Defaulting Lender.

(b)       Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Administrative Borrower, the Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and each Issuing Bank agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders at par or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Revolving Credit Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided under this Agreement (without giving effect to the reallocation of such Lender’s participation pursuant to Section 2.17(a)(iv)), whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender

(c)       Cash Collateralization. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, promptly upon the written request of the Administrative Agent (with respect to any or all Fronting Exposure) or the Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender (solely with respect to such Person’s Fronting Exposure at such time), the Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent Cash Collateral (or, in the case of Fronting Exposure with respect to Swing Line Loans, repay such Swing Line Loans) in an amount sufficient to cover all such Fronting Exposure that has not been reallocated pursuant to Section 2.17(a)(iv) (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender). For purposes hereof, “Cash Collateralize” means to pledge and deposit with or deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of (i) the relevant Issuing Bank and the Lenders, as collateral for the LC Obligations or (ii) the Swing Line Lender and the Lenders, as collateral for the Swing Line Obligations, cash and Cash Equivalents (if reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the relevant Issuing Bank or Swing Line Lender, as applicable) or deposit account balances (“Cash Collateral”) pursuant to documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the relevant Issuing Bank or Swing Line Lender, as applicable (which documents are hereby consented to by the Lenders). Derivatives of such term have corresponding meanings.

Section 2.18        Co-Borrowers.

(a)       Each Borrower accepts joint and several liability hereunder in consideration of the financial accommodation to be provided by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each Borrower and in consideration of the undertakings of each Borrower to accept joint and several liability for the obligations of each Borrower.

(b)       Each Borrower shall be jointly and severally liable for the Obligations, regardless of which Borrower actually receives the Loans hereunder or the amount of the Obligations received or the manner in which the Administrative Agent or any Lender accounts for the Obligations on its books and records. Each Borrower’s obligations with respect to Loans made to it, and each Borrower’s obligations arising as a result of the joint and several liability of such Borrower hereunder, with respect to Loans or LC Obligations made to and other Obligations owing by the Borrowers hereunder, shall be separate and distinct obligations, but all such obligations shall be primary obligations of each Borrower.

-97

(c)       Each Borrower’s obligations arising as a result of the joint and several liability of such Borrower hereunder with respect to Loans made to, Letters of Credit issued on behalf of, and other Obligations owing by the Borrowers hereunder shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be unconditional irrespective of (A) the validity or enforceability, avoidance or subordination of the obligations of any other Borrower or of any promissory note or other document evidencing all or any part of the obligations of any other Borrower, (B) the absence of any attempt to collect the Obligations from any other Borrower, any other guarantor, or any other security therefor, or the absence of any other action to enforce the same, (C) the waiver, consent, extension, forbearance or granting of any indulgence by the Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to any provision of any instrument evidencing the obligations of any other Borrower, or any part thereof, or any other agreement now or hereafter executed by any other Borrower and delivered to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, (D) the failure by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to take any steps to perfect and maintain its security interest in, or to preserve its rights to, any security or collateral for the obligations of any other Borrower, (E) the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s election, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, (F) any borrowing or grant of a security interest by any other Borrower, as Debtor In Possession under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, (G) the disallowance of all or any portion of the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s claim(s) for the repayment of the obligations of any other Borrower under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, or (H) any other circumstances which might constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor or of any other Borrower. With respect to each Borrower’s obligations arising as a result of the joint and several liability of such Borrower hereunder with respect to Loans made to the Borrowers hereunder, such Borrower waives, until the Obligations shall have been paid in full and this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall have been terminated, any right to enforce any right of subrogation or any remedy which the Administrative Agent or any Lender now has or may hereafter have against such Borrower, any endorser or any guarantor of all or any part of the Obligations, and any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to the Administrative Agent or any Lender to secure payment of the Obligations or any other liability of any Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

(d)       Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may proceed directly and at once, without notice, against any Borrower to collect and recover the full amount, or any portion of the Obligations, without first proceeding against any other Borrower or any other Person, or against any security or collateral for the Obligations. Each Borrower consents and agrees that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be under no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Borrower or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations.

(e)       Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Borrower as the borrowing agent and attorney-in-fact for the Borrowers, which appointment shall remain in full force and effect unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received prior written notice signed by all of the Borrowers that such appointment has been revoked and that another Borrower has been appointed in the place of the Administrative Borrower. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Borrower (i) to provide to the Administrative Agent and receive from the Administrative Agent all notices with respect to Loans obtained for the benefit of any Borrower and all other notices and instructions under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) to take such action as the Administrative Borrower deems appropriate on its behalf to obtain Loans and to exercise such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto to carry out the purposes of this Agreement. It is understood that the handling of the Collateral of the Borrowers in a combined fashion, as more fully set forth herein and in the Collateral Documents, is done solely as an accommodation to the Borrowers in order to utilize the collective borrowing powers of the Borrowers in the most efficient and economical manner and at their request, and that neither the Agents nor the Lenders shall incur liability to the Borrowers as a result hereof. Each of the Borrowers expects to derive benefit, directly or indirectly, from the handling of the Collateral in a combined fashion since the successful operation of each Borrower is dependent on the continued successful performance of the integrated group

(f)       After the Closing Date, the Administrative Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, designate any Restricted Subsidiary that is a wholly-owned Domestic Subsidiary as a Borrower by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Borrower Joinder Agreement executed by such Subsidiary and the Administrative Borrower, together with any documentation and other information with respect to such additional Borrower required by regulatory authorities under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including, without limitation, the PATRIOT Act requested by the Administrative Agent (and to the extent not theretofore delivered on the Closing Date or otherwise) and satisfied the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement (including without limitation the actions as specified in Section 6.11 with respect to newly formed Subsidiaries), and upon such delivery and satisfaction, such Subsidiary shall for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents be a Borrower and a party to this Agreement. As soon as practicable upon receipt of a Borrower Joinder Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall furnish a copy thereof to each Lender.

Section 2.19        Cash Management

(a)       The Parent Borrower, the other Borrowers and each Loan Party shall, along with the Administrative Agent and certain financial institutions selected by the Loan Parties, reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and located in the United States (the “Collection Banks”), enter into within 90 days after the Closing Date (or such longer period as the Administrative Agent may reasonably agree), and thereafter maintain, separate Account Control Agreements with respect to all deposit accounts (other than Exempt Accounts). Each Loan Party shall (x) instruct all Account Debtors of such Loan Party (other than any Governmental Entity) to remit all payments to the applicable “P.O. Boxes” or “Lockbox Addresses” of the applicable Collection Bank (or to remit such payments to the applicable Collection Bank by electronic settlement) with respect to all Accounts of such Account Debtor which remittances shall be collected by the applicable Collection Bank and deposited in the applicable Controlled Account of the applicable Loan Party and (y) (i) instruct each Account Debtor with respect to Governmental Entity Accounts to remit all payments from such Account Debtor to a concentration or deposit account that is used solely to collect Governmental Entity Accounts and that is not subject to an Account Control Agreement (each such account, a “Government Receivables Account”) and (ii) deposit or cause all proceeds deposited in any Government Receivables Account to be deposited promptly, and in any event no later than the first Business Day after its receipt of such proceeds, in a concentration account which is a Controlled Account. All amounts received by any Loan Party and any Collection Bank, in respect of any Account, in addition to all other cash received from any other source (other than cash and Cash Equivalents maintained in Exempt Accounts or otherwise by Loan Parties not to exceed $5,000,000 in the aggregate at any time), shall promptly upon receipt be deposited or swept into a Controlled Account. The Loan Parties may close deposit accounts at any Collection Bank and/or open new deposit accounts, subject (in the case of opening any new deposit account) to the contemporaneous (or such longer period as the Administrative Agent may reasonably agree) execution and delivery to the Administrative Agent of an Account Control Agreement consistent with the provisions of this Section 2.19 and otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(b)       So long as no Dominion Period then exists in respect of which the Administrative Agent has delivered notice thereof as contemplated by the definition thereof, the Loan Parties shall be permitted to withdraw cash and Cash Equivalents from Controlled Accounts to be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. If a Dominion Period exists and the Administrative Agent has delivered notice thereof as contemplated by the definition thereof, all collected amounts held in the Controlled Accounts shall be applied as provided in Section 2.19(c).

(c)       Each Account Control Agreement relating to a Controlled Account shall (unless otherwise reasonably agreed by the Administrative Agent) include provisions that allow, during any Dominion Period if the Administrative Agent so elects, for all collected amounts held in such Controlled Account from and after the date requested by the Administrative Agent, to be sent by ACH or wire transfer or similar electronic transfer no less frequently than once per Business Day to one or more accounts maintained with the Administrative Agent (each, an “Agent Deposit Account”). Subject to the terms of the respective Collateral Document, during any Dominion Period, all amounts received in an Agent Deposit Account shall be applied (and allocated) by the Administrative Agent on a daily basis in the following order: (i) first, (A) if so elected by the Administrative Agent, to the payment (on a ratable basis) of any outstanding fees and expenses actually due and payable to the Administrative Agent under any of the Loan Documents and (B) to repay or prepay outstanding Loans advanced by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.01(d); (ii) second, to the extent all amounts referred to in preceding clause (i) have been paid in full, (A) if so elected by the applicable Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender, to pay (on a ratable basis) all outstanding expenses actually due and payable to each Issuing Bank and the Swing Line Lender under any of the Loan Documents and (B) to repay all outstanding unpaid LC Disbursements and Swing Line Exposure and all interest thereon; (iii) third, to the extent all amounts referred to in preceding clauses (i) and (ii) have been paid in full, (A) to pay (on a ratable basis) all accrued and unpaid interest actually due and payable on the Revolving Credit Loans and (B) if so elected by the applicable Secured Party, to pay all accrued and unpaid fees actually due and payable to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Swing Line Lender, and the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents with respect to the Revolving Credit Loans; (iv) fourth, to the extent all amounts referred to in preceding clauses (i) through (iii), inclusive, have been paid in full, to repay (on a ratable basis) the outstanding principal of Revolving Credit Loans (whether or not then due and payable); (v) fifth, to the extent all amounts referred to in preceding clauses (i) through (iv), inclusive, have been paid in full, to the Cash Collateralization (on a ratable basis) of all LC Exposure in accordance with Section 2.03(j); (vi) sixth, to the extent all amounts referred to in preceding clauses (i) through (v), inclusive, have been paid in full, to pay (on a ratable basis) all other outstanding Obligations then due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents with respect to the Revolving Credit Loans; and (vii) seventh, to the extent all amounts referred to in preceding clauses (i) through (vi) inclusive, have been paid in full and so long as no Specified Event of Default then exists, to be returned to the applicable Borrowers for such Borrowers’ own account.

Article III.
TAXES, INCREASED COSTS PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

Section 3.01        Taxes.

(a)       Except as provided in this Section 3.01, all payments made by or on account of the Borrowers or Guarantors to or for the account of the Administrative Agent or any Lender under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by any Law. If the Borrowers, any Guarantor or other applicable withholding agent shall be required by any Laws to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to any Agent or any Lender, (i) if the Tax in question is an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax (as defined below), the sum payable by the Borrowers or any Guarantor shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions or withholdings (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01), each of such Lender (or where any Agent receives the payments for its own account, such Agent) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) the applicable withholding agent shall make such deductions, (iii) the applicable withholding agent shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Laws, and (iv) within thirty (30) days after the date of such payment (or, if receipts or evidence are not available within thirty (30) days, as soon as possible thereafter), if the Borrowers or any Guarantor is the applicable withholding agent, it shall furnish to such Agent or Lender (as the case may be) the original or a copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof or other evidence acceptable to such Agent or Lender.

(b)       In addition, the Borrowers agree to pay any and all present or future stamp, court or documentary Taxes and any other excise, property, intangible or mortgage recording Taxes, imposed by any Governmental Authority, which arise from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document excluding, in each case, any such Tax imposed as a result of an Agent or Lender’s Assignment and Assumption, grant of a participation, transfer or assignment to or designation of a new applicable Lending Office or other office for receiving payments under any Loan Document (collectively, “Assignment Taxes”), except for Assignment Taxes resulting from an assignment or participation that is requested or required in writing by the Borrowers (all such non-excluded taxes described in this Section 3.01(b) being hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

-100

(c)       The Borrowers and each Guarantor agree to promptly indemnify each Agent and each Lender for (i) the full amount of Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes payable by such Agent or such Lender and (ii) any expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability prepared in good faith and delivered by such Agent or Lender (or by an Agent on behalf of such Lender), accompanied by a written statement thereof setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of such amounts shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

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

(i)       Each Lender that is a United States person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement and at the reasonable request of the Parent Borrower or Administrative Agent two properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor forms) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding.

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

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

(B)       two properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms),

(C)       in the case of a Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Sections 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, (A) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I hereto (any such certificate a “United States Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (B) two properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or any successor forms), or

-101

(D)       to the extent a Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Lender is a partnership, or is a Participant holding a participation granted by a participating Lender), two properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms) of the Lender, accompanied by a properly completed and duly signed Form X-0XXX, X-0XXX, X-0XXX-X, Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Tax Compliance Certificate, Form W-9, Form W-8IMY or any other required information from each beneficial owner, as applicable (provided that, if such Lender is a partnership (and not a participating Lender) and one or more beneficial owners are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, the United States Tax Compliance Certificate may be provided by such Lender on behalf of such beneficial owner(s)).

(iii)       Each Administrative Agent that is a United States person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to the Borrowers two properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor forms) with respect to fees received on its own behalf, certifying that such Administrative Agent is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding. Each Administrative Agent that is not a United States person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent two properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms) with respect to fees received on its own behalf and Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, and including required accompanying documentation with respect to payments to be received by it on behalf of the Lenders, certifying that it is a “U.S. branch” and that the payments it receives for the account of others are not effectively connected with the conduct of its trade or business within the United States and that it is using such form as evidence of its agreement with the Borrower to be treated as a U.S. Person with respect to such payments (and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree to so treat the Administrative Agent as a resident for tax purposes in the United States with respect to such payments as contemplated by Section 1.1441-1(b)(2)(iv) of the United States Treasury Regulations).

(e)       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, such Lender shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Laws and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Laws and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine whether such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA and, if necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.

(f)       Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to deliver to the Loan Parties and to any successor Administrative Agent any documentation provided by such Lender to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 3.01(d) or (e) above.

(g)       Any Lender or Agent claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 3.01 shall use its reasonable efforts to mitigate or reduce the additional amounts payable, which reasonable efforts may include a change in the jurisdiction of its Lending Office (or any other measures reasonably requested by the Borrowers) if such a change or other measures would reduce any such additional amounts (or any similar amount that may thereafter accrue) and would not, in the sole determination of such Lender, result in any unreimbursed cost or expense or be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

(h)       If any Lender or Agent determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund in respect of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which indemnification or additional amounts have been paid to it by a Loan Party pursuant to this Section 3.01, it shall promptly remit to such Loan Party an amount equal to the amount of such refund (but only to the extent of indemnification or additional amounts paid by the Loan Party under this Section 3.01(h) with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including any Taxes) of the Lender or Agent, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant taxing authority with respect to such refund net of any Taxes payable by any Agent or Lender on such interest); provided that the Loan Parties, upon the request of the Lender or Agent, as the case may be, shall promptly return such refund (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant taxing authority) to such party in the event such party is required to repay such refund to the relevant taxing authority. The Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, shall provide the Loan Party with a copy of any notice of assessment or other evidence reasonably available of the requirement to repay such refund received from the relevant taxing authority. This Section shall not be construed to require any Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrowers or any other person.

-102

(i)       For the avoidance of doubt, a “Lender” shall, for purposes of this Section 3.01, include any Issuing Bank and any Swing Line Lender.

Section 3.02 Illegality.

If any Lender reasonably determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurocurrency Rate Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate in each case after the Closing Date, then, on written notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrowers through the Administrative Agent, (i) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurocurrency Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended, and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the Borrowers shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all applicable Eurocurrency Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans to such day, or promptly, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate with respect to any Base Rate Loans, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate. Each Lender agrees to designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted and all amounts due, if any, in connection with such prepayment and conversion.

Section 3.03 Inability to Determine Rates.

(a)       If, after the Closing Date, the Required Lenders reasonably determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (ai) deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount, currency and Interest Period of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan (such Loans, the “Impacted Loans”), (bii) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurocurrency Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan, or (ciii) the Eurocurrency Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrowers and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended, and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Eurocurrency Rate component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

-103

(b)       Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Administrative Agent has made the determination described in clause (ai) of this Section 3.03(a), the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Parent Borrower, may establish an alternative interest rate for the Impacted Loans, in which case, such alternative rate of interest shall apply with respect to the Impacted Loans until (1) the Administrative Agent revokes the notice delivered with respect to the Impacted Loans under clause (ai) of the first sentence of this Section 3.03(a), (2) the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers that such alternative interest rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding the Impacted Loans, or (3) any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to such alternative rate of interest or to determine or charge interest rates based upon such rate or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to do any of the foregoing and provides the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers written notice thereof.

(c)       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Borrowers or Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Required Lenders, a copy to Borrowers) that the Borrowers or Required Lenders (as applicable) have determined, that::

(i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for any requested Interest Period, including, without limitation, because the LIBOR Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or

(i)         (ii) the administrator of the LIBOR Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which LIBOR or the LIBOR Screen Rate shall no longer be made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans (such specific date, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”), orOn March 5, 2021 the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”), the regulatory supervisor of LIBOR’s administrator (“IBA”), announced in a public statement the future cessation or loss of representativeness of overnight/Spot Next, 1-week, 1-month, 2-month, 3-month, 6-month and 12- month U.S. dollar LIBOR tenor settings. On the earliest of (A) the date that all Available Tenors of U.S. dollar LIBOR have permanently or indefinitely ceased to be provided by IBA or have been announced by the FCA pursuant to public statement or publication of information to be no longer representative, (B) June 30, 2023 and (C) the Early Opt-in Effective Date in respect of a SOFR Early Opt-in, if the then-current Benchmark is LIBOR, the Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any setting of such Benchmark on such day and all subsequent settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. If the Benchmark Replacement is Daily Simple SOFR, all interest payments will be payable on a quarterly basis.

(iii) syndicated loans currently being executed, or that include language similar to that contained in this Section 3.03, are being executed or amended (as applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace LIBOR, then, reasonably promptly after such determination by the Administrative Agent or receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace LIBOR with an alternate benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark (if any) incorporated therein), giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated syndicated credit facilities for such alternative benchmarks (any such proposed rate, a “LIBOR Successor Rate”), together with any proposed LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes (as defined in Section 1.01) and any such amendment shall become effective upon execution by the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Borrower at 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrowers unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders do not accept such amendment.

-104

If no LIBOR Successor Rate has been determined and the circumstances under clause (i) above exist or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred (as applicable), the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrowers and each Lender.  Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended, (to the extent of the affected Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Interest Periods), and (y) the Eurocurrency Rate component shall no longer be utilized in determining the Base Rate.  Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans (to the extent of the affected Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans (subject to the foregoing clause (y)) in the amount specified therein.

Notwithstanding anything else herein, any definition of LIBOR Successor Rate shall provide that in no event shall such LIBOR Successor Rate be less than zero for purposes of this Agreement; provided, that, on and after the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date, any definition of LIBOR Successor Rate shall provide that in no event shall such LIBOR Successor Rate be less than 0.25% for purposes of this Agreement.

(ii)          (x) Upon (A) the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or (B) a determination by the Administrative Agent that neither of the alternatives under clause (1) of the definition of Benchmark Replacement are available, the Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders (and any such objection shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error); provided that solely in the event that the then-current Benchmark at the time of such Benchmark Transition Event is not a SOFR-based rate, the Benchmark Replacement therefor shall be determined in accordance with clause (1) of the definition of Benchmark Replacement unless the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that neither of such alternative rates is available.

(y) On the Early Opt-in Effective Date in respect of an Other Rate Early Opt-in, the Benchmark Replacement will replace LIBOR for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any setting of such Benchmark on such day and all subsequent settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(iii)         At any time that the administrator of the then-current Benchmark has permanently or indefinitely ceased to provide such Benchmark or such Benchmark has been announced by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark pursuant to public statement or publication of information to be no longer representative of the underlying market and economic reality that such Benchmark is intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored, the Borrower may revoke any request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Loans to be made, converted or continued that would bear interest by reference to such Benchmark until the Borrower’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced such Benchmark, and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans. During the period referenced in the foregoing sentence, the component of Base Rate based upon the Benchmark will not be used in any determination of Base Rate.

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

(v)         The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Administrative Borrower and the Lenders of (A) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (B) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 3.03(c), including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error.

-105

(vi)        At any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (A) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR or LIBOR), then the Administrative Agent may remove any tenor of such Benchmark that is unavailable or non-representative for Benchmark (including Benchmark Replacement) settings and (B) the Administrative Agent may reinstate any such previously removed tenor for Benchmark (including Benchmark Replacement) settings.

Section 3.04 Increased Cost and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy; Eurocurrency Rate Loan Reserves.

(a)       If any Lender reasonably determines that as a result of a Change in Law, there shall be any increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining Eurocurrency Rate Loans or (as the case may be) issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or a reduction in the amount received or receivable by such Lender in connection with any of the foregoing (including any Taxes (other than (i) Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes or (ii) Taxes imposed on or with respect to any payment made by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document that are excluded from the definition of Indemnified Taxes pursuant to clauses (i) through (vi) thereof), including by imposing, modifying or holding applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, and excluding for purposes of this Section 3.04(a) any such increased costs or reduction in amount resulting from reserve requirements contemplated by Section 3.04(c) or the definition of Eurocurrency Rate), then from time to time within fifteen (15) days after demand by such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail such increased costs (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent given in accordance with Section 3.06), the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction.

(b)       If any Lender reasonably determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of any such Lender’s holding companies, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by it, or participations in or issuance of Letters of Credit by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding companies could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding companies with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time upon demand of such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrowers will pay to such Lender, as the case may be, within fifteen (15) days after demand by such Lender, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding companies for any such reduction suffered.

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

-106

Section 3.05 Funding Losses.

Upon written demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, which demand shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount, the Borrowers shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits or margin) actually incurred by it as a result of:

(a)       any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Eurocurrency Rate Loan of the Borrowers on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan; or

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

including any loss or expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits or margin) arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained.

Section 3.06 Matters Applicable to All Requests for Compensation.

(a)       If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or issuing Letters of Credit hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in any material economic, legal or regulatory respect; provided that nothing in this Section 3.06(a) shall affect or postpone any Obligations of the Borrowers or the rights of the Lenders under this Article III.

(b)       If any Lender requests compensation by the Borrowers under Section 3.04, the Borrowers may, by notice to such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), suspend the obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurocurrency Rate Loans from one Interest Period to another Interest Period, or to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurocurrency Rate Loans, until the event or condition giving rise to such request ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 3.06(d) shall be applicable); provided that such suspension shall not affect the right of such Lender to receive the compensation so requested.

(c)       Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of Section 3.01, 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of Section 3.01, 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrowers of the event giving rise to such claim and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the circumstance giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

(d)       If the obligation of any Lender to make or continue any Eurocurrency Rate Loan or to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 3.06(b) hereof, such Lender’s applicable Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be automatically converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for such Eurocurrency Rate Loans (or, in the case of any immediate conversion required by Section 3.02, on such earlier date as required by Law) and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04 hereof that gave rise to such conversion no longer exist:

-107

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

(c)       such Lender being replaced pursuant to this Section 3.07 shall (1) execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption with respect to all, or a portion as applicable, of such Lender’s Commitment and outstanding Loans and participations in LC Obligations and Swing Line Loans, and (2) deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrowers or Administrative Agent (or a lost or destroyed note indemnity in lieu thereof); provided that the failure of any such Lender to execute an Assignment and Assumption or deliver such Notes shall not render such sale and purchase (and the corresponding assignment) invalid and such assignment may be recorded in the Register and the Notes shall be deemed to be canceled upon such failure;

-108

(d)       upon such payment set forth in clauses (a) and (b) above and, if so requested by the assignee Lender, delivery to the assignee Lender of the appropriate Note or Notes executed by the Borrowers, the assignee Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and the assigning Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder with respect to such assigned Loans, Commitments and participations, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement, which shall survive as to such assigning Lender;

(f)       such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws;

(g)       any Lender that acts as an Issuing Bank may not be replaced in its capacity as an Issuing Bank hereunder at any time when it has any Letter of Credit outstanding hereunder unless arrangements reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Bank (including the furnishing of a back-up standby letter of credit in form and substance, and issued by an issuer, reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Bank or the depositing of cash collateral into a cash collateral account in amounts and pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Bank) have been made with respect to each such outstanding Letter of Credit; and

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in addition if a Non-Consenting Lender is being replaced in connection with any Extension Amendment, the Borrowers shall have the option, with the consent of the Administrative Agent and subject to at least three Business Days’ advance notice (which notice may be rescinded if the transaction contemplated in such notice is not consummated) to such Non-Consenting Lenders, in lieu of execution of an Assignment and Assumption as otherwise provided for in this clause (b), effect such assignment by purchasing any such Non-Consenting Lender’s Loans (which shall be automatically cancelled upon consummation of such acquisition) and unfunded Commitments at par (allocated among the applicable Lenders in the same manner as would be required if such Loans were being optionally prepaid or such Commitments were being optionally reduced or terminated by the Borrowers), accompanied by payment of any accrued interest and fees thereon (and, if applicable, any amounts payable pursuant to clause (e) of this Section and Section 3.05). By receiving such purchase price, the applicable Lenders shall automatically be deemed to have assigned such Loans or Commitments pursuant to the terms of an Assignment and Assumption, and accordingly no other action by such Lenders shall be required in connection therewith.

-109

In the event that (i) the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent has requested that the Lenders consent to a departure or waiver of any provisions of the Loan Documents or agree to any amendment thereto, (ii) the consent, waiver or amendment in question requires the agreement of each affected Lender or all the Lenders with respect to a certain Class or Classes of the Loans and/or Commitments and (iii) the Required Lenders have agreed (but solely to the extent required by Section 10.01) to such consent, waiver or amendment (including, in each case, by virtue of such Lender refusing to make or enter into an Extension Offer pursuant to Section 2.16), then any Lender who does not agree to such consent, waiver or amendment shall be deemed a “Non-Consenting Lender.”

In connection with any such replacement, if any such Non-Consenting Lender or Defaulting Lender does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly executed Assignment and Assumption reflecting such replacement within five (5) Business Days of the date on which the assignee Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and Assumption to such Non-Consenting Lender or Defaulting Lender, then such Non-Consenting Lender or Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Assumption without any action on the part of the Non-Consenting Lender or Defaulting Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in addition if a Non-Consenting Lender is being replaced in connection with any Extension Amendment, the Administrative Borrower shall have the option, with the consent of the Administrative Agent and subject to at least three Business Days’ advance notice (which notice may be rescinded if the refinancing or replacement transaction contemplated in such notice is not consummated) to such Non-Consenting Lenders, in lieu of execution of an Assignment and Assumption as otherwise provided for in this clause (y), to effect such assignment by purchasing any such Non-Consenting Lender’s Loans (which shall automatically be cancelled upon consummation of such acquisition) and unfunded Commitments at par (allocated among the applicable Lenders in the same manner as would be required if such Loans were being optionally prepaid or such Commitments were being optionally reduced or terminated by the Borrowers), accompanied by payment of any accrued interest, premium and fees thereon (and, if applicable, any amounts payable pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraphs). By receiving such purchase price, the applicable Lenders shall automatically be deemed to have assigned such Loans or Commitments pursuant to the terms of an Assignment and Assumption and accordingly no other action by such Lenders shall be required in connection therewith.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

Section 3.08 Survival.

All of the Loan Parties’ obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Total Revolving Credit Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

Section 8.03     Application of Funds.

After the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 8.02 (or after the Loans have automatically become immediately due and payable and the LC Obligations have automatically been required to be Cash Collateralized as set forth in the proviso to Section 8.02), any amounts received on account of the Secured Obligations shall be applied by the Administrative Agent in the following order (to the fullest extent permitted by mandatory provisions of applicable Law):

Section 8.04 Right to Cure.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 8.01:

(a)       For the purpose of determining whether a Financial Covenant Event of Default has occurred, the Administrative Borrower may on one or more occasions designate any portion of the net cash proceeds from a sale or issuance of Qualified Equity Interests of the Parent Borrower or any cash contribution to the common capital of the Parent Borrower (the “Cure Amount”) as an increase to Consolidated EBITDA for the applicable fiscal quarter; provided that (A) the Cure Amount (i) is actually received by the Parent Borrower on or before the later of (x) the fifteenth (15th) calendar day after the date on which the Compliance Certificate pursuant to Section 6.02(a) is required to be delivered with respect to such applicable fiscal quarter or fiscal year, as applicable, and (y) the fifteenth (15th) calendar day after the beginning of the Compliance Period that required the Parent Borrower to comply with the covenant set forth in Section 7.11 (such later date, the “Cure Expiration Date”) and (ii) does not exceed the aggregate amount necessary to cure any Financial Covenant Event of Default as of such date and (B) the Administrative Borrower shall have provided advance notice (the “Notice of Intent to Cure”) to the Administrative Agent that such amounts are designated as a “Cure Amount” (it being understood that to the extent such notice is provided in advance of delivery of a Compliance Certificate for the applicable period, the Cure Amount actually received by the Parent Borrower may be lower than specified in such notice to the extent that the amount necessary to cure any Financial Covenant Event of Default is less than the full amount of such originally designated amount). The Cure Amount used to calculate Consolidated EBITDA for one fiscal quarter shall be used and included when calculating Consolidated EBITDA for each Test Period that includes such fiscal quarter.

-156

(b)       The parties hereby acknowledge that this Section 8.04 may not be relied on for purposes of calculating any financial ratios or any other purpose other than for determining actual compliance with Section 7.11 (and not Pro Forma Compliance with Section 7.11 that is required by any other provision of this Agreement) and shall not result in any adjustment to any amounts (including any pro forma reduction of the amount of Indebtedness with respect to the quarter with respect to which such Cure Amount is made and shall not be included for purposes of determining pricing, mandatory prepayments and the availability or amount permitted pursuant to any covenant under Article 7) other than the increase to Consolidated EBITDA referred to in Section 8.04(a). The Cure Amount shall not constitute an Excluded Contribution.

(c)       In furtherance of Section 8.04(a) above, (i) upon actual receipt by the Administrative Agent of the Notice of Intent to Cure, the covenant under Section 7.11 shall be deemed retroactively cured with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply with the covenant under such Section 7.11 and any Default or Event of Default under Section 7.11 shall be deemed not to have occurred for purposes of the Loan Documents (provided that if the Cure Expiration Date has occurred without the Cure Amount having been received by the Parent Borrower and designated, such Default or Event of Default shall be deemed reinstated) and (ii) none of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Secured Party may exercise any rights or remedies under Section 8.01 (or under any other Loan Document) solely on the basis of any actual or purported Default or Event of Default under Section 7.11 until and unless (A) the Cure Expiration Date has occurred without the Cure Amount having been received by the Parent Borrower and designated by the Administrative Borrower or (B) the Administrative Borrower has confirmed in writing that it does not intend to provide such Cure Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Borrower shall be permitted to request a Borrowing or any Credit Extension unless and until the Parent Borrower shall have received the Cure Amount.

(d)       (i) In each period of four (4) consecutive fiscal quarters, there shall be at least two (2) fiscal quarters in which no cure right set forth in Section 8.04 is exercised and (ii) there shall be no pro forma reduction in Indebtedness with the Cure Amount for determining compliance with Section 7.11 for the fiscal quarter with respect to which such Cure Amount was made.

(e)       There can be no more than five (5) fiscal quarters in which the cure rights set forth in Section 7.11 are exercised during the term of any Facility.

Section 9.01     Appointment and Authority.

(a)       Each of the Lenders and Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America, N.A to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article IX (other than this Section 9.01, Section 9.06 (solely with respect to the removal and consent rights of the Borrowers set forth therein), Section 9.09, Section 9.10 and Section 9.11) are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and each Issuing Bank, and no Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

-157

(b)       The Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders (including in its capacities as a potential Qualified Counterparty) and the Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender and the Issuing Bank for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Administrative Agent, as “collateral agent” and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.05 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent, shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article IX and Article X (including the second paragraph of Section 10.05), as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Lenders hereby expressly authorize the Administrative Agent to (i) execute any and all documents (including releases) with respect to the Collateral (including any Intercreditor Agreement and any amendment, supplement, modification or joinder with respect thereto) and the rights of the Secured Parties with respect thereto, as contemplated by and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Collateral Documents and acknowledge and agree that any such action by any Agent shall bind the Lenders and (ii) negotiate, enforce or settle any claim, action or proceeding affecting the Lenders in their capacity as such, at the direction of the Required Lenders, which negotiation, enforcement or settlement will be binding upon each Lender.

Section 9.02      Rights as a Lender.

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

Section 9.03      Exculpatory Provisions.

The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

(a)       shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

(b)       shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may (i) expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law or (ii) be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law;

(c)       shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity;

(d)       shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 10.01 and 8.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrowers, a Lender or the Issuing Bank; and

-158

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

It is understood and agreed by each Secured Party that the Administrative Agent shall have no liability for any determinations made by it under Section 8.03, in each case except to the extent resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision). Each Secured Party also agrees that the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be required to), at any time and in its sole discretion, and with no liability resulting therefrom, petition a court of competent jurisdiction regarding any application of Collateral in accordance with the requirements hereof, and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to wait for, and may conclusively rely on, any such determination.

Section 9.04      Reliance by Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the Issuing Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or the Issuing Bank prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of such Letter of Credit.

Section 9.06      Resignation of Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrowers upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to the Borrowers and the Lenders. If the Administrative Agent or a Controlling Affiliate of the Administrative Agent is subject to an Agent-Related Distress Event, the Parent Borrower may remove the Administrative Agent from such role upon ten (10) days’ written notice to the Lenders. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation or removal by the Parent Borrower, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Administrative Borrower at all times other than upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default under Sections 8.01(a) or, solely with respect to the Parent Borrower, 8.01(f), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation or removal, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above (including consent of the Administrative Borrower); provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Administrative Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation or removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice. The resigning or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank under any of the Loan Documents, the resigning or removed Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security (including any collateral security subsequently delivered to the Administrative Agent) until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (b) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the Issuing Bank directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section 9.06. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder and delivery of collateral security in the possession of the resigning or removed Administrative Agent to such successor Administrative Agent (to the extent that possession thereof perfects a Lien thereon under the UCC of any jurisdiction), such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning (or resigned) or removed Administrative Agent, and the resigning or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section 9.06). The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After the resigning Administrative Agent’s resignation or the removed Administrative Agent’s removal, hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Sections 10.04 and 10.05 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such resigning or removed Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the resigning or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

Any resignation by, or removal of, Bank of America, N.A. as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 9.06 shall also constitute its resignation or removal as Issuing Bank and Swing Line Lender, in which case such resigning or removed Issuing Bank and Swing Line Lender (x) shall not be required to issue any further Letters of Credit or extend any further Swing Line Loans hereunder and (y) shall maintain all of its rights as Issuing Bank or Swing Line Lender with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it or Swing Line Loans extended by it, as applicable, prior to the date of such resignation or removal so long as such Letters of Credit, LC Obligations or Swing Line Loans remain outstanding and not otherwise Cash Collateralized in accordance with the terms herein. 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 the retiring Issuing Bank and Swing Line Lender, (ii) the resigning or removed Issuing Bank and Swing Line Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (iii) the successor Issuing Bank 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 resigning or removed Issuing Bank to effectively assume the obligations of the resigning or removed Issuing Bank with respect to such Letters of Credit.

Section 9.07      Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.

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

Section 9.09      Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim; Credit Bidding.

In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or LC Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Parent Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise

(a)       to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, LC Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.03(h) and (i), 2.09, 10.04 and 10.05) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

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

-161

The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations (including accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Secured Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, or any similar Laws in any other jurisdictions to which a Loan Party is subject, (b) at any other sale or foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable Laws. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that would vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) in the asset or assets so purchased (or in the Equity Interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are used to consummate such purchase). In connection with any such bid (i) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles to make a bid, (ii) to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by the Administrative Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or Equity Interests thereof shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by the vote of the Required Lenders, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Required Lenders contained in clauses (a) through (j) of Section 11.01 of this Agreement, (iii) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to assign the relevant Obligations to any such acquisition vehicle pro rata by the Lenders, as a result of which each of the Lenders shall be deemed to have received a pro rata portion of any Equity Interests and/or debt instruments issued by such an acquisition vehicle on account of the assignment of the Obligations to be credit bid, all without the need for any Secured Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (iv) to the extent that Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of debt credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Lenders pro rata and the Equity Interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of the Obligations that had been assigned to the acquisition vehicle shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action.

Section 9.10            Collateral and Guaranty Matters.

Each Lender hereby agrees, and each holder of any Note by its acceptance thereof will be deemed to agree, that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Required Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Collateral Documents, and the exercise by the Required Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders. The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of all of the Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender, from time to time prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, to take any action with respect to any Collateral or Collateral Documents which may be necessary to create, perfect and maintain perfected security interests in and liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Collateral Documents. Without limiting the provisions of Section 9.09, each of the Lenders (including in its capacities as a potential Qualified Counterparty) and each Issuing Bank irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option, and in its sole discretion (other than releases described in clauses (b) and (d) below which shall not be optional or discretionary):

(a)       to enter into and sign for and on behalf of the Lenders, as Secured Parties, the Collateral Documents (including any subordination or intercreditor agreements with respect to Indebtedness and Liens permitted under this Agreement to the extent the Administrative Agent is otherwise contemplated herein as being a party to such intercreditor or subordination agreement) for the benefit of the Lenders and the other Secured Parties;

(b)       to automatically release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the Total Revolving Credit Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit (other than Letters of Credit that are Cash Collateralized or back-stopped by a letter of credit in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank or a deemed reissuance under another facility as to which other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank shall have been made), (ii) at the time the property subject to such Lien is Disposed or to be Disposed (to a Person that is not a Loan Party) as part of or in connection with any Disposition permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (iii) subject to Section 10.01, if the release of such Lien is approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders, (iv) if the property subject to such Lien is owned by a Guarantor, upon release of such Guarantor from its obligations under its Guaranty pursuant to clause (d) below or Section 11.09 or (v) if the property subject to such Lien constitutes Excluded Assets;

-162

(c)       to release or subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 7.01(u) to the extent required by the holder of, or pursuant to the terms of any agreement governing, the obligations secured by such Liens; and

(d)       to release any Guarantor from its obligations under this Agreement (including the Guaranty) if such Guarantor becomes a Released Guarantor in accordance with Section 11.09.

Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 9.10. In each case as specified in this Section 9.10, the Administrative Agent will (and each Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to), at the Borrowers’ expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Collateral Documents or to subordinate its interest in such item, or to evidence the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 9.10.

The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Administrative Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by the Borrowers or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in connection therewith, nor shall the Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.

Section 9.11            Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements.

Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein or in any Guaranty or any Collateral Document, no Qualified Counterparty that obtains the benefits of Section 8.03, any Guaranty or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Guaranty or any Collateral Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article IX 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, Secured Obligations arising under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Secured Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Qualified Counterparty.

The Lenders and the Qualified Counterparties hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any Intercreditor Agreement or other intercreditor agreement or arrangement (including any subordination agreement or arrangement) permitted under this Agreement, and any amendment, modification, supplement or joinder with respect thereto, and the Lenders and the Qualified Counterparties acknowledge that any such intercreditor agreement is binding upon the Lenders and Qualified Counterparties.

Section 9.12            Withholding Tax Indemnity.

To the extent required by any applicable Laws, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding Tax ineffective), such Lender shall, within 10 days after written demand therefor, indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent (to the extent that the Administrative Agent has not already been reimbursed by the Loan Parties pursuant to Section 3.01 and without limiting or expanding the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so) for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Taxes or otherwise, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses and any other out-of-pocket expenses, whether or not such Tax was 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 to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due the Administrative Agent under this Section 9.12. The agreements in this Section 9.12 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, the term “Lender” shall, for purposes of this Section 9.12, include any Issuing Bank and any Swing Line Lender.

Section 9.13            Indemnification by the Lenders.

The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent (or any Affiliate thereof) (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers or any other Loan Party and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), ratably according to their respective Pro Rata Shares in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section 9.13 from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including at any time following the payment of the Revolving Credit Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any Agent (or any Affiliate thereof) in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by any Agent (or any Affiliate thereof) under or in connection with any of the foregoing; IN ALL CASES, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED BY OR ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE OF THE INDEMNITEE, provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements to the extent arising from (a) such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or (b) claims made or legal proceedings commenced against such Agent by any security holder or creditor thereof arising out of and based upon rights afforded any such security holder or creditor solely in its capacity as such. The agreements in this Section 9.13 shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

In case any Proceeding is instituted involving any Indemnitee for which indemnification is to be sought hereunder by such Indemnitee, then such Indemnitee will promptly notify the Parent Borrower of the commencement of any such Proceeding; provided, however, that the failure so to notify the Parent Borrower will not relieve the Borrowers from any liability to such Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 10.05. Each applicable Indemnitee (by accepting the benefits hereof) agrees to refund and return any and all amounts paid by or on behalf of the Borrowers (or any other Loan Party) to such Indemnitee, in each case, pursuant to the terms of this paragraph to the extent such Indemnitee is not entitled to the payment thereof pursuant to the terms of this paragraph, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(I)       the Assignee shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Borrower the forms described in Sections 3.01(d) and 3.01(e) applicable to it; and

(J)       no assignment shall be made to the Sponsor, Walgreens Co., the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any affiliate of any of the foregoing.

The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof relating to Disqualified Institutions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not ‎(x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a Disqualified Institution or (y) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans or Commitments, or disclosure of confidential information, to any ‎Disqualified Institution. The identity of Disqualified Institutions will not be posted or distributed to any Person by the Administrative Agent or Arranger, but may be communicated by the Administrative Agent to a Lender upon request therefor.

(c)       Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.07(d), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits and subject to the obligations of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, 10.04 and 10.05 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Upon request, and the surrender by the assigning Lender of its Note, the Borrowers (at their expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this clause (c) 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 Section 10.07(e).

(d)       The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it, and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and related interest amounts) of the Loans and LC Disbursements, 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 Agents 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 Agent and any Lender (solely with respect to the information as it relates to such Lender), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. This Section 10.07(d) and Section 2.11 shall be construed so that all Loans are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any related Treasury regulations (or any other relevant or successor provisions of the Code or of such Treasury regulations).

(e)       Any Lender may at any time sell participations to any Person (other than the Sponsor, any of its Affiliates (other than Debt Fund Affiliates), Walgreens Co., a natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of a natural Person), a Defaulting Lender or a Disqualified Institution) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in LC Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Agents, the Swing Line Lender, each Issuing Bank 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 or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in clauses (a), (b), (c), (e), (f) and (j) of the first proviso to Section 10.01 that requires the affirmative vote of such Lender. Subject to Section 10.07(f), the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits and subject to the obligations of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender (subject, for the avoidance of doubt, to the limitations and requirements of those Sections applying to each Participant as if it were a Lender and provided that any documentation required to be provided under Section 3.01(d) shall be provided solely to the participating Lender) and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.07(c). To the extent permitted by applicable Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.09 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant also shall be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and related interest amounts) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”). 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. The portion of any Participant Register relating to any Participant or SPC requesting payment from the Borrowers or seeking to exercise its rights under Section 10.09 shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers or any other Person only 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 and Section 1.163-5(b) of the proposed United States Treasury Regulations. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. The portion of the Participant Register relating to any Participant requesting payment from any Borrower under the Loan Documents shall be made available to such Borrower upon reasonable request.

(f)       A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless (i) such entitlement to a greater payment results from a Change in Law after the sale of the participation to such Participant takes place or (ii) the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Administrative Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless such Participant complies with Sections 3.01(a), (d), (e), (f) and (h) as though it were a Lender (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.01(d) shall be delivered solely to the participating Lender and, at the time such participant has made a claim under Section 3.01, as necessary to substantiate a claim for additional amounts pursuant to Section 3.01).

(g)       Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender to a Federal Reserve Bank or to any central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

In addition, the Agents and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Agents and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Commitments, and the Credit Extensions; provided that such Person is advised and agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 10.08.

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof relating to any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof, their respective businesses and their respective Affiliates and their Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees, trustees, investments advisors or agents, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.08.

Each of the Agents and the Lenders acknowledges that (a) the Information may include Material Non-Public Information, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of Material Non-Public Information and (c) it will handle such Material Non-Public Information in accordance with applicable Law, including United States federal and state securities Laws. The provisions of this paragraph shall not affect any Borrowers’ obligations under the last paragraph of Section 6.02.

Section 10.09          Setoff.

In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender and its Affiliates (and the Administrative Agent, in respect of any unpaid fees, costs and expenses payable hereunder) is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Borrowers, any such notice being waived by the Borrowers (on its own behalf and on behalf of each Loan Party and each of its Subsidiaries) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, after obtaining the written consent of the Administrative Agent, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final but excluding escrow, payroll, xxxxx cash, trust and tax accounts) at any time held by, and other Indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender and its Affiliates or the Administrative Agent to or for the credit or the account of the respective Loan Parties against any and all Obligations owing to such Lender and its Affiliates or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not such Agent or such Lender or Affiliate shall have made demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable deposit or Indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.17 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank(s) and the Lenders, and (y) 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 setoff. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set off and application made by such Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of the Administrative Agent and each Lender under this Section 10.09 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that the Administrative Agent and such Lender may have at Law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, no Lender shall exercise any right of set off in respect of any Controlled Account other than the Administrative Agent acting in their capacity as such. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, each Secured Party expressly waives its right of setoff (and any similar right including bankers’ liens) with respect to all lockboxes, deposit accounts and other cash management accounts maintained by any Loan Party and into which any collections of Governmental Entity Accounts are deposited.

Section 10.10          Interest Rate Limitation.

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

Section 10.11          Counterparts; Electronic Execution of Assignments and Certain Other Documents.

This Agreement and each other Loan Document may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery by facsimile, .pdf or other electronic means of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement and each other Loan Document shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement and such other Loan Document. The Agents may also require that any such documents and signatures delivered by facsimile, .pdf or other electronic means be confirmed by a manually signed original thereof; provided that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any document or signature delivered by facsimile, .pdf or other electronic means.

-178

This Agreement and any document, amendment, approval, consent, information, notice, certificate, request, statement, disclosure or authorization related to this Amendment (each a “Communication”), including Communications required to be in writing, may, if agreed by the parties hereto, be in the form of an Electronic Record and may be executed using Electronic Signatures, including, without limitation, facsimile and/or .pdf. Each of the Loan Parties hereto agrees that any Electronic Signature (including, without limitation, facsimile or .pdf) on or associated with any Communication shall be valid and binding on them to the same extent as a manual, original signature, and that any Communication entered into by Electronic Signature, will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Loan Parties enforceable against them in accordance with the terms thereof to the same extent as if a manually executed original signature was delivered to the Agent. Any Communication may be executed in as many counterparts as necessary or convenient, including both paper and electronic counterparts, but all such counterparts are one and the same Communication. For the avoidance of doubt, the authorization under this paragraph may include, without limitation, use or acceptance by the Agent of a manually signed paper Communication which has been converted into electronic form (such as scanned into PDF format), or an electronically signed Communication converted into another format, for transmission, delivery and/or retention. The Agent may, at its option, create one or more copies of any Communication in the form of an imaged Electronic Record (“Electronic Copy”), which shall be deemed created in the ordinary course of the Agent’s, business, and destroy the original paper document. All Communications in the form of an Electronic Record, including an Electronic Copy, shall be considered an original for all purposes, and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Agent shall be under no obligation to accept an Electronic Signature in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by the Agent pursuant to procedures approved by them; provided, further, without limiting the foregoing, (a) to the extent the Agent has agreed to accept such Electronic Signature, the Agent shall be entitled to rely on any such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of the Loan Parties without further verification and (b) upon the request of the Agent any Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by a manually executed, original counterpart. For purposes hereof, “Electronic Record” and “Electronic Signature” shall have the meanings assigned to them, respectively, by 15 USC §7006, as it may be amended from time to time.

Section 10.12          Integration.

This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on such subject matter. Subject to Section 10.20 in the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Agents or the Lenders in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof.

Section 10.13          Survival of Representations and Warranties.

All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied (other than contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been asserted) or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding (unless the Outstanding Amount of the LC Obligations related thereto has been Cash Collateralized or back-stopped by a letter of credit reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank or such Letter of Credit has been deemed reissued under another agreement acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank).

Section 10.14          Severability.

If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions; provided that the Lenders shall charge no fee in connection with any such amendment. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.14, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

(a)        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.

(b)        As used in this Section 10.22, the following terms have the following meanings:

“BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.

“Covered Entity” means any of the following: (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).

“Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.

“QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).

Section 11.02          Obligations Unconditional.

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

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

(ii)       any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of this Agreement or the Notes, if any, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be done or omitted (including incurring any increase or decrease in the principal amount of the Guaranteed Obligations or the rate of interest or the fees thereon);

(iii)       the maturity of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be amended in any respect, or any right under the Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be amended or waived in any respect or any other guarantee of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or except as permitted pursuant to Section 11.09, any security therefor shall be released or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with;

(v)       the release of any other Guarantor pursuant to Section 11.09.

The Guarantors hereby expressly waive (to the fullest extent permitted by Law) diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and, to the extent permitted by Law, all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that any Secured Party exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against the Borrowers under this Agreement or the Notes, if any, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations. The Guarantors waive, to the extent permitted by Law, any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension, waiver, termination or accrual of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by any Secured Party upon this Guarantee or acceptance of this Guarantee, and the Guaranteed Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon this Guarantee, and all dealings between the Borrowers and the Secured Parties shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Guarantee. This Guarantee shall be construed as a continuing, absolute, irrevocable and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to any right of offset with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations at any time or from time to time held by Secured Parties, and the obligations and liabilities of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be conditioned or contingent upon the pursuit by the Secured Parties or any other Person at any time of any right or remedy against the Borrowers or against any other Person which may be or become liable in respect of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or against any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto. This Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and be binding in accordance with and to the extent of its terms upon the Guarantors and the successors and permitted assigns thereof, and shall inure to the benefit of the Lenders, and their respective successors and permitted assigns, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of this Agreement there may be no Guaranteed Obligations outstanding.

Section 11.04          Subrogation; Subordination.

Each Guarantor hereby agrees that until the payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been asserted) and the expiration and termination of the Commitments of the Lenders under this Agreement it shall subordinate any claim and shall not exercise any right or remedy, direct or indirect, arising by reason of any performance by it of its guarantee in Section 11.01, whether by subrogation or otherwise, against the Borrowers or any other Guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations.

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

Section 11.06          Instrument for the Payment of Money.

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

Section 11.07          Continuing Guarantee.

The guarantee in this Article XI is a continuing guarantee of payment, and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising.

Section 11.08          General Limitation on Guarantee Obligations.

In any action or proceeding involving any state corporate limited partnership or limited liability company law, or any applicable state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other Law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Guarantor (other than the Borrowers) under Section 11.01 would otherwise be held or determined to be void, voidable, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under Section 11.01, then, notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Guarantor, any Loan Party or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount (after giving effect to the liability under this Guaranty and the right of contribution established in Section 11.10) that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.

-185

Section 11.09          Release of Guarantors.

If, in compliance with the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents, (i) any Guarantor that is a Restricted Subsidiary of a Loan Party ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary of a Loan Party in a transaction permitted hereunder, (ii) any Guarantor becomes an Excluded Subsidiary or (iii) subject to Section 10.01, if the release of such Guarantor is approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (any such Guarantor referred to in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) a “Released Guarantor”), such Released Guarantor shall upon the consummation of the related transaction, change in status, request, approval, authorization or ratification be (in the case of clauses (i) and (iii)) automatically released and (in the case of clause (ii)) released by the Administrative Agent pursuant to appropriate documentation following a written request from the Administrative Borrower to the Administrative Agent requesting such release, in each case, from its obligations under this Agreement (including under Section 10.05 hereof) and the other Loan Documents, including its obligations to pledge and grant any Collateral owned by it pursuant to any Collateral Document and, in the case of a sale of any of the Equity Interests of the Released Guarantor to a Person that is not a Loan Party, the pledge of such Equity Interests to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Collateral Documents shall be automatically released, and, so long as the Borrowers shall have provided the Administrative Agent such certifications or documents as any Agent shall reasonably request, the Administrative Agent shall take such actions as are necessary to effect each release described in this Section 11.09 in accordance with the relevant provisions of this Agreement and the Collateral Documents; provided, that no such release shall occur, and no such Guarantor shall constitute a Released Guarantor, if (x) such Guarantor continues to be a guarantor in respect of any other Obligations, any First Lien Obligation or any Second Lien Obligations or any Junior Financing or (y) such Guarantor continues to constitute a Subsidiary of the Parent Borrower and becomes an Excluded Subsidiary under clause (a) of the definition thereof unless (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time such Guarantor becomes an Excluded Subsidiary under clause (a) of the definition thereof and (ii) after giving Pro Forma Effect to such release and the consummation of the transaction that causes such Person to become an Excluded Subsidiary under clause (a) of the definition thereof, the Borrowers and Restricted Subsidiaries shall be deemed to have made an Investment in, or a Restricted Payment in respect of, as applicable, such Person (as if such Person were then newly acquired or formed) and such Investment or Restricted Payment is permitted hereunder at such time.

When all Commitments hereunder have terminated, and all Loans or other Obligations hereunder (other than contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been asserted) have been paid or satisfied in full, and no Letter of Credit remains outstanding (except any Letter of Credit the Outstanding Amount of which the Obligations related thereto has been Cash Collateralized or for which a backstop letter of credit reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank has been put in place or such Letter of Credit has been deemed reissued under another agreement reasonably acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank), this Agreement and the Guarantees made herein shall terminate with respect to all Obligations, except with respect to Obligations that expressly survive such repayment pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

Section 11.10          Right of Contribution.

Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that a Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Guarantor hereunder which has not paid its proportionate share of such payment. Each Guarantor’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 11.04. The provisions of this Section 11.10 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank(s), the Swing Line Lender and the Lenders, and each Guarantor shall remain liable to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank(s), the Swing Line Lender and the Lenders for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder.

-186

Section 11.11          Keepwell.

Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Loan Party to honor all of its obligations under this Guaranty in respect of any Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 11.11 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 11.11, or otherwise under this Agreement, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 11.11 shall remain in full force and effect until the payment in full and discharge of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 11.11 constitute, and this Section 11.11 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

Section 11.12          Independent Obligation.

The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of any other Guarantor, any other party or the Borrowers, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against such Guarantor whether or not action is brought against any other Guarantor, any other party or the Borrowers and whether or not any other Guarantor, any other party or the Borrowers be joined in any such action or actions.
