57

(ii)            any other modification to the ESG Pricing Provisions (other than as provided for in clause (i) above) shall be subject only to the consent of the Majority Lenders.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.07, no ESG Amendment shall be effective as to any Existing Term B Loans, and no decrease to the Applicable Margin applicable to the Existing Term B Loans may be effected, in each case, without the consent of each affected Existing Term B Lender.

The interest rate on a Loan denominated in Dollars or an Alternate Currency may be derived from an interest rate benchmark that may be discontinued or is, or may in the future become, the subject of regulatory reform. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, Section 6.02(b) provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission, performance or any other matter related to any interest rate used in this Agreement, or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof, including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the existing interest rate being replaced or have the same volume or liquidity as did any existing interest rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates and/or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of any interest rate used in this Agreement or any alternative, successor or alternative rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) and/or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrowers. The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain any interest rate used in this Agreement, any component thereof, or rates referenced in the definition thereof, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to any Borrower or other Obligor, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.

(IV)            any such Incremental Revolving Facility shall either (x) be subject to the same terms and conditions as any then-existing Revolving Facility (and be deemed added to, and made a part of, such Revolving Facility) (it being understood that, if required to consummate an Incremental Revolving Facility, the Parent may increase the pricing, interest rate margins, rate floors and undrawn fees on the applicable Revolving Facility being increased for all lenders under such Revolving Facility, but additional upfront or similar fees may be payable to the lenders participating in such Incremental Revolving Facility without any requirement to pay such amounts to any existing Revolving Lenders) or (y) mature no earlier than, and require no scheduled mandatory commitment reduction prior to, the 2022 Revolving Loan Maturity Date and all other terms (other than, subject to the requirements of this clause (y), maturity, pricing, upfront, arrangement, structuring, underwriting, ticking, consent, amendment and other fees and other immaterial terms, which shall be determined by the Company) shall be (1) substantially consistent with the 2022 Revolving Loans or (2) otherwise reasonably acceptable the Administrative Agent (it being understood that if any financial maintenance covenant or other more favorable provision is added for the benefit of any Incremental Revolving Facility, no consent shall be required from the Administrative Agent or any Lender to the extent that such financial maintenance covenant or other provision is also added for the benefit of any then-existing Revolving Facility or only applicable after the applicable Latest Maturity Date applicable to any Class of Revolving Loans hereunder),

(V)            the pricing, interest rate margins, rate floors, undrawn fees and other fees (and the components thereof) applicable to any Incremental Facility may be determined by the Company and the lender or lenders providing such Incremental Facility,

(VI)            the final maturity date with respect to (x) any Incremental Term Loans that are not Term B Loans shall be no earlier than the 2022 Term A Loan Maturity Date at the time of the incurrence thereof and (y) any Incremental Term Loans that are Term B Loans shall be no earlier than the Latest Maturity Date applicable at the time of the incurrence thereof; provided, that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to (1) customary bridge loans with a maturity date not longer than one year which, subject to customary conditions, would either be automatically converted into or required to be exchanged for permanent financing which otherwise complies with this clause (VI), or (2) Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the Inside Maturity Amount,

60

(VII)            the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of (x) any Incremental Term Facility that does not consist of Term B Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the 2022 Term A Loans at the time of incurrence thereof and (y) any Incremental Term Facility that consists of Term B Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any outstanding Class of Term Loans at the time of incurrence thereof; provided, that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to (1) customary bridge loans with a maturity date of not longer than one year which, subject to customary conditions, would either be automatically converted into or required to be exchanged for permanent financing which otherwise complies with this clause (VII), or (2) Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the Inside Maturity Amount,

(VIII)            subject to clauses (VI) and (VII) above, any Incremental Term Facility may otherwise have an amortization schedule as determined by the Company and the lenders providing such Incremental Term Facility,

(IX)            (1) each Incremental Facility may, at the option of the Company, rank pari passu with or junior to the 2022 Term A Loans, the 2022 Revolving Loans, the Existing Term B Loans and the Amendment No. 1 Incremental Term B Loans in each case in right of payment; (2) each Incremental Facility, at the option of the Company, may be unsecured or secured by Liens on the Collateral that rank pari passu with or junior to the Liens on the Collateral securing the 2022 Term A Loans, the 2022 Revolving Loans, the Existing Term B Loans and the Amendment No. 1 Incremental Term B Loans; provided that, to the extent any Incremental Facility is secured by junior Liens on the Collateral, such Incremental Facility shall be documented in documentation other than the Credit Agreement and the other Basic Documents governing the 2022 Term A Loans, the 2022 Revolving Loans, the Existing Term B Loans and the Amendment No. 1 Incremental Term B Loans and the lenders providing such Incremental Facility shall be subject to an intercreditor agreement on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Administrative Agent; and (3) no Incremental Facility may be (x) guaranteed by any Person which is not an Obligor or (y) secured by Liens on any assets other than the Collateral;

(X)            any Incremental Term Facility may provide for the ability to participate (1) on a pro rata basis or non-pro rata basis in any voluntary prepayment of Term Loans made pursuant to Section 3.02(a) and (2) on a pro rata or less than pro rata basis (but not on a greater than pro rata basis, other than in the case of prepayment with proceeds of Indebtedness refinancing such Incremental Term Loans) in any mandatory prepayment of Term Loans required pursuant to Section 3.02(b) or (c),

(XII)            no Incremental Term Facility shall contain covenants or events of default that, taken as a whole, are materially more restrictive on the Parent and its Subsidiaries or are more favorable to the lenders in respect of such Incremental Term Facility prior to the Latest Maturity Date than the covenants applicable to Term Loans in the Basic Documents, unless the Administrative Agent shall so consent (it being understood that if any covenant or event of default is added for the benefit of any Incremental Term Facility, no consent shall be required from the Administrative Agent or any Lender to the extent that such covenant or event of default is also added for the benefit of any then-existing Term Facility),

61

(XIII)            except as otherwise required or permitted in Section 2.01(d)(i), all terms of any Incremental Term Facility shall be as agreed between the Company and the lenders providing such Incremental Term Facility,

(XIV)            on the date of the making of any Incremental Term Loans that will be added to any Class of then existing Term Loans, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, such Incremental Term Loans shall be added to (and constitute a part of, be of the same Type as and, at the election of the Company, have the same Interest Period as) each borrowing of outstanding Term Loans of such Class on a pro rata basis (based on the relative sizes of such borrowings), so that each Term Lender providing such Incremental Term Loans will participate proportionately in each then-outstanding Borrowing of Term Loans of such Class; it being acknowledged that the application of this clause may result in new Incremental Term Loans having Interest Periods (the duration of which may be less than one month) that begin during an Interest Period then applicable to outstanding Term Benchmark Loans of the relevant Class and which end on the last day of such Interest Period, and

(XV)            notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if any Borrower (or any Subsidiary Guarantor that becomes a Borrower) incurs Qualifying Incremental Term B Loans the effective yield of which is greater than the effective yield of the Amendment No. 1 Incremental Term B Loans (with effective yield to be determined by the Company (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) in good faith in a manner consistent with generally accepted financial practices, giving effect to margins, upfront or similar fees, and original issue discount, in each case, that are shared with all lenders or holders thereof and applicable interest rate floors (it being agreed that (x) to the extent that the benchmark applicable to the Amendment No. 1 Incremental Term B Loans or such Qualifying Incremental Term B Loans, as applicable, on the date that effective yield is being calculated for is less than the interest rate floor therefor, the amount of such difference shall be deemed added to the interest rate margin for the Amendment No. 1 Incremental Term B Loans or such Qualifying Incremental Term B Loans, as applicable, for the purpose of calculating the effective yield and (y) to the extent that the benchmark applicable to the Amendment No. 1 Incremental Term B Loans or such Qualifying Incremental Term B Loans, as applicable, on the date that the effective yield is being calculated is greater than the applicable interest rate floor therefor, then the interest rate floor therefor shall be disregarded in calculating the effective yield thereof)) by more than 50 basis points per annum, than the Applicable Margin applicable to the Amendment No. 1 Incremental Term B Loans will be increased to the extent necessary so that the effective yield of the Amendment No. 1 Incremental Term B Loans is equal to the effective yield for such Qualifying Incremental Term B Loans minus 50 basis points per annum. Each Amendment No. 1 Incremental Term B Lender hereby authorizes the Company and the Administrative Agent to enter into one or more amendments to the Amended Credit Agreement to effect any such increase to the Applicable Margin applicable to the Amendment No. 1 Incremental Term B Loans contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence, without the consent of any Amendment No. 1 Incremental Term B Lender or any other person.

62

(ii)            Incremental Commitments may be provided by any existing Lender or by any other bank, financial institution or other Person (such other bank, financial institution or other Person, an “Additional Lender”); provided that the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of any Incremental Revolving Facility, each Issuing Bank) shall have consented (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to the relevant Additional Lender’s provision of Incremental Commitments if such consent would be required under Section 12.06(b) for an assignment of Loans to such Additional Lender.

(iii)            Each Lender or Additional Lender providing a portion of any Incremental Commitment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Parent all such documentation (including the relevant Incremental Facility Amendment) as may be reasonably required by the Administrative Agent to evidence and effectuate such Incremental Commitment. On the effective date of such Incremental Commitment, each Additional Lender shall become a Lender for all purposes in connection with this Agreement.

(iv)            As a condition precedent to the effectiveness of any Incremental Facility or the making of any Incremental Loans, (1) upon its request, the Administrative Agent shall have received customary written opinions of counsel, as well as such reaffirmation agreements, supplements and/or amendments as it shall reasonably require, (2) the Administrative Agent shall have received from each Additional Lender an administrative questionnaire in the form provided to such Additional Lender by the Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Questionnaire”) and such other documents as it shall reasonably require from such Additional Lender and (3) the Administrative Agent and applicable Additional Lenders shall have received all fees required to be paid in respect of such Incremental Facility or Incremental Loans.

(v)            Upon the implementation of any Incremental Revolving Facility pursuant to this Section 2.01(d):

(I)            if such Incremental Revolving Facility establishes Revolving Commitments of the same Class as any then-existing Class of Revolving Commitments, (1) each Revolving Lender immediately prior to such increase will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each relevant lender under the Incremental Facility, and each such relevant lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed a portion of such Revolving Xxxxxx’s participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit such that, after giving effect to each deemed assignment and assumption of participations, all of the Revolving Lenders of such Class hold participations hereunder in Letters of Credit shall be held on a pro rata basis on the basis of their respective Revolving Commitments (after giving effect to any increase in the Revolving Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.01(d)) and (ii) the existing Revolving Lenders of the applicable Class shall assign Revolving Loans to certain other Revolving Lenders of such Class (including the Revolving Lenders providing the relevant Incremental Revolving Facility), and such other Revolving Lenders (including the Revolving Lenders providing the relevant Incremental Revolving Facility) shall purchase such Revolving Loans, in each case to the extent necessary so that all of the Revolving Lenders of such Class participate in each outstanding borrowing of Revolving Loans pro rata on the basis of their respective Revolving Commitments of such Class (after giving effect to any increase in the Revolving Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.01(d)); it being understood and agreed that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to this clause (I); and

63

(II)            if such Incremental Revolving Facility establishes Revolving Commitments of a new Class, (1) the borrowing and repayment (except for (x) payments of interest and fees at different rates on any Revolving Facility, (y) repayments required upon the Maturity Date of any Revolving Facility and (z) repayments made in connection with any permanent repayment and termination of any Revolving Commitments (subject to clause (3) below)) of Incremental Revolving Loans after the effective date of such Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments shall be made on a pro rata basis with any then-existing Revolving Facility, (2) all letters of credit made or issued, as applicable, under such Incremental Revolving Facility shall be participated on a pro rata basis by all Revolving Lenders and (3) any permanent repayment of Revolving Loans with respect to, and reduction or termination of Revolving Commitments under, any Incremental Revolving Facility after the effective date of any Incremental Revolving Facility shall be made on a pro rata basis or less than pro rata basis with all other Revolving Facilities, except that the applicable Borrowers shall be permitted to permanently repay Revolving Loans and terminate Revolving Commitments of any Revolving Facility on a greater than pro rata basis (I) as compared to any other Revolving Facilities with a later Maturity Date than such Revolving Facility or (II) to the extent refinanced or replaced in accordance with Section 2.13 of this Agreement.

(vi)            The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any Incremental Facility Amendment and/or any amendment to any other Basic Document with the Parent, the Company and/or the applicable Borrowers as may be necessary in order to establish new or any increase in any Classes or sub-Classes in respect of Loans or commitments pursuant to this Section 2.01(d) (including, for instance, to increase the amortization of any existing Class of Term Loans (or to provide for any existing Class of Term Loans to have (or to again have) amortization) in order to have such existing Class of Term Loans be “fungible” with any Incremental Term Facility that is to be added to such Loans) and such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Company in connection with the establishment or increase, as applicable, of such Classes or sub-Classes, in each case on terms consistent with this Section 2.01(d). This Section 2.01(d) shall supersede any provision in Section 12.05 to the contrary

(e)            Amendment No. 1 Incremental Term B Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Amendment No. 1, each Amendment No. 1 Incremental Term B Lender party to the Amendment No. 1 made Amendment No. 1 Incremental Term B Loans to the Company in a single drawing in Dollars on the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Amendment No. 3, each Amendment No. 1 Incremental Term B Lender party to Amendment No. 3 made Amendment No. 1 Incremental Term B Loans to the Company in a single drawing in Dollars on the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Amendment No. 4, each Amendment No. 1 Incremental Term B Lender party to Amendment No. 4 made Amendment No. 1 Incremental Term B Loans to the Company in a single drawing in Dollars on the Amendment No. 4 Effective Date. Amendment No. 1 Incremental Term B Loans that are repaid or prepaid may not be re-borrowed.

64

2.02.         Reductions of Commitments.

(a)            Mandatory. The 2022 Revolving Commitments shall terminate on the 2022 Revolving Loan Maturity Date. The 2022 Term A Commitments shall automatically terminate on the A&R Closing Date (after the making of the 2022 Term A Loans on such date). The Amendment No. 1 Incremental Term B Commitments shall automatically terminate on the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date (after the making of the Amendment No. 1 Incremental Term B Loans on such date).

(b)           Optional. The Company shall have the right to terminate or reduce any unused Commitments at any time or from time to time, provided that (i) the Company shall give notice of each such termination or reduction to the Administrative Agent as provided in Section 5.05 hereof and (ii) each partial reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be in an aggregate amount at least equal to $1,000,000.

2.03.         Fees.

(a)            Commitment Fees. The Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each 2022 Revolving Lender commitment fees in Dollars on the daily average unused amount of such Lender’s 2022 Revolving Commitment, as the case may be for the period from (and including) the A&R Closing Date to (but excluding) the earlier of the date the Revolving Commitments are terminated and the Commitment Termination Date, at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate in effect from time to time. Accrued commitment fees under this Section 2.03 shall be payable on the Quarterly Dates and on the earlier of the date the 2022 Revolving Commitments are terminated and the 2022 Revolving Loan Maturity Date.

(b)            Agency Fee. The Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent agency fees in the amounts and at the times agreed between the Company and the Administrative Agent in writing.

2.05.         Several Obligations: Remedies Independent. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan to be made by it on the date specified therefor shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to make its Loan on such date, but neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make a Loan to be made by such other Lender.

65

2.06.            Notes. Each applicable Borrower, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agrees to issue a Note to any Lender (each, a “Note”) in substantially the form of Exhibit A-1 (in the case of Revolving Loans) or Exhibit A-2 (in the case of Term Loans) hereto, payable to such Xxxxxx, evidencing the Indebtedness hereunder owed to such Lender. Each Lender is hereby authorized by the Borrowers to endorse on the schedule (or a continuation thereof) attached to each Note of such Lender, to the extent applicable, the date, amount and Type of and the Interest Period (if any) for each Loan made by such Lender to any applicable Borrower hereunder, and the date and amount of each payment or prepayment of principal of such Loan received by such Lender, provided that any failure by such Lender to make any such endorsement shall not affect the obligations of the Company under such Note or hereunder in respect of such Loan.

2.07.            Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loans shall be used for the general corporate purposes of the Parent, the Company and their Subsidiaries, including, without limitation, the making of Permitted Acquisitions and capital expenditures and the refinancing of Indebtedness of the Parent and its Subsidiaries. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any responsibility as to the use of any of the proceeds of any of the Loans or Letters of Credit.

2.08.            Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Issuing Bank severally agrees to issue standby letters of credit (“Letters of Credit”) in Dollars or any Alternate Currency, for the account of the Parent or for the account (jointly and severally with the Parent) of such of its Subsidiaries as the Company may specify, provided that in no event shall (i) the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Liabilities, together with the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans, exceed the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments, as the case may be, as in effect from time to time, (ii) the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Liabilities in respect of Letters of Credit issued by an Issuing Bank and its Affiliates exceed such Issuing Bank’s Issuing Bank Sublimit at any time, (iii) the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Liabilities exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit at any time or (iv) the expiration date of any Letter of Credit extend beyond the earlier of the Latest Maturity Date applicable to Revolving Loans and the date one year following the issuance of such Letter of Credit (provided that (A) any Letter of Credit with a one-year tenor may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods, which periods shall, subject to the following clause (B), not extend beyond the Maturity Date applicable to Revolving Loans of the applicable Class and (B) the expiration date of any Letter of Credit may expire after the Maturity Date applicable to Revolving Loans of the applicable Class so long as the Obligors have complied with the requirements of clause (13) of this Section 2.08). On the A&R Closing Date, all Existing Letters of Credit shall automatically, without any action on the part of any Person, be deemed to be Letters of Credit issued and outstanding hereunder.

The following additional provisions shall apply to Letters of Credit:

(1)            The Company shall give the Administrative Agent at least three Business Days’ irrevocable prior notice (effective upon receipt) specifying the Business Day (which shall be no later than five days preceding the Maturity Date applicable to Revolving Commitments of the applicable Class) on which each Letter of Credit is to be issued, modified or supplemented and the account party or parties therefor and describing in reasonable detail the proposed terms of such Letter of Credit (including the beneficiary thereof), or modification or supplement thereto, and the nature of the transactions or obligations proposed to be supported thereby. Upon receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the applicable Issuing Bank of the contents thereof. Each Issuing Bank shall notify the Administrative Agent of the issuance, modification or supplementation of any Letter of Credit and of any termination or expiry thereof.

66

(2)            On each day during the period commencing with the issuance by any Issuing Bank of any Letter of Credit and until such Letter of Credit shall have expired or been terminated, the Revolving Commitment of each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to be utilized for all purposes of this Agreement in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage, as the case may be, of the then undrawn stated amount of such Letter of Credit. Each Lender (other than the Issuing Bank) agrees that, upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit hereunder, it shall automatically acquire a participation in the Issuing Bank’s rights and obligations under such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such rights and obligations, and each Lender thereby shall automatically, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably assume, as primary obligor and not as surety, and be unconditionally obligated to the Issuing Bank to pay and discharge when due, its Applicable Percentage of the Issuing Bank’s obligation to pay drawings under such Letter of Credit.

(3)            Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any demand for payment under such Letter of Credit that any Issuing Bank determines to be in compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit, such Issuing Bank shall promptly, upon determination of the date on which payment is to be made, notify the Company (through the Administrative Agent) of the amount to be paid by such Issuing Bank as a result of such demand and the date on which payment is to be made by such Issuing Bank to such beneficiary in respect of such demand. Notwithstanding the identity of the account party of any Letter of Credit, each of the Parent and the Company (and each other account party) hereby unconditionally agrees to pay and reimburse the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Issuing Bank, in Dollars or the applicable Alternate Currency in immediately available funds for the amount of each demand for payment under such Letter of Credit at or prior to the date on which payment is to be made by such Issuing Bank to the beneficiary thereunder, without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any kind. The Parent’s and the Company’s (and each other account party’s) obligations under this paragraph (3) shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that the Parent or the Company may have or have had against such Issuing Bank, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person. The Parent and the Company (and each other account party) also agree with each Issuing Bank that no Issuing Bank shall be responsible for, and the Reimbursement Obligations of the Parent and the Company (and each other account party) under this paragraph (3) shall not be affected by, among other things, (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (b) any draft or other documents presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (c) any dispute between or among the Obligors and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of any Obligor against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee, (d) payments by any 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, or (e) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this paragraph, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the obligations of the Parent and the Company (and each other account party) hereunder. No Issuing Bank 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 message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with 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 such Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse any Issuing Bank from liability to the Parent or the Company to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Parent and the Company (and each other account party) to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Parent or the Company (or other account party) 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 or willful misconduct, on the part of any Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), each 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 substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, each Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, 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.

(4)            Forthwith upon its receipt of a notice referred to in paragraph (3) of this Section 2.08, the Company shall advise the Administrative Agent whether or not the Company intends to borrow hereunder to finance its obligation to reimburse any Issuing Bank for the amount of the related demand for payment and, if it does, submit a notice of such borrowing as provided in Section 5.05 hereof.

(5)            Each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for account of the Issuing Bank at an account in New York, New York specified by the Administrative Agent in Dollars or the applicable Alternate Currency in immediately available funds the amount of such Xxxxxx’s Applicable Percentage of any payment under a Letter of Credit, upon notice by any applicable Issuing Bank (through the Administrative Agent) to such Lender requesting such payment and specifying such amount. Each such Lender’s obligation to make such payment to the Administrative Agent for account of any Issuing Bank under this paragraph (5), and each Issuing Bank’s right to receive the same, shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including, without limitation, the failure of any other Lender to make its payment under this paragraph (5), the financial condition of the Parent or the Company (or any other account party), any failure to satisfy any condition precedent to any Loan, the existence of any Default or the termination of the Commitments. Each such payment to or for the account of each Issuing Bank shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. If any Lender shall default in its obligation to make any such payment to the Administrative Agent for account of any Issuing Bank, for so long as such default shall continue, the Administrative Agent may, at the request of such Issuing Bank withhold from any payments received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement for account of such Lender the amount so in default and, to the extent so withheld, pay the same to such Issuing Bank in satisfaction of such defaulted obligation.

68

(6)            Upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit hereunder, each Lender shall, automatically and without any further action on the part of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or such Lender, acquire (i) a participation in an amount equal to the payment by such Lender to the Issuing Bank pursuant to paragraph (5) above in the Reimbursement Obligation owing to the Issuing Bank hereunder and under the Letter of Credit Documents relating to such Letter of Credit and (ii) a participation in a percentage equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of any interest or other amounts payable by the Company hereunder and under such Letter of Credit Documents in respect of such Reimbursement Obligation (other than the commissions, charges, costs and expenses payable to the applicable Issuing Bank pursuant to paragraph (7) of this Section 2.08). Upon receipt by any Issuing Bank from or for account of the Company or the Parent of any payment in respect of any Reimbursement Obligation or any such interest or other amount (including by way of setoff or application of proceeds of any collateral security) such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such receipt and pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender entitled thereto such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such payment, each such payment by such Issuing Bank to be made in the same money and funds in which received by such Issuing Bank. In the event any payment received by any Issuing Bank and so paid to the Lenders hereunder is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by such Issuing Bank, each Lender shall, upon the request of such Issuing Bank (through the Administrative Agent), repay to such Issuing Bank (through the Administrative Agent) the amount of such payment paid to such Lender, with interest at the rate specified in paragraph (10) of this Section 2.08.

(7)            The Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for account of the Lenders (ratably in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages) a letter of credit fee in Dollars in respect of each Letter of Credit which shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable L/C Percentage on the daily average undrawn stated amount of such Letter of Credit for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit (i) in the case of a Letter of Credit that expires in accordance with its terms, to but excluding such expiration date and (ii) in the case of a Letter of Credit that is drawn in full or is otherwise terminated other than on the stated expiration date of such Letter of Credit, to but excluding the date such Letter of Credit is drawn in full or is terminated (such fee to be non-refundable, to be paid in arrears on each Quarterly Date and on the Maturity Date applicable to any Class of Revolving Loans and on the date of expiry or termination or full utilization of such Letter of Credit and to be calculated for any day after giving effect to any payments made under such Letter of Credit on such day). In addition, the Company shall pay to each Issuing Bank a fronting fee in Dollars in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank which shall accrue at a rate equal to the rate agreed by such Issuing Bank and the Company (but in any event not to exceed 0.125% per annum) of the daily average undrawn stated amount of such Letter of Credit for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit (i) in the case of a Letter of Credit that expires in accordance with its terms, to but excluding such expiration date and (ii) in the case of a Letter of Credit that is drawn in full or is otherwise terminated other than on the stated expiration date of such Letter of Credit, to but excluding the date such Letter of Credit is drawn in full or is terminated (such fee to be non-refundable, to be paid in arrears on each Quarterly Date and on the Maturity Date applicable to any Class of Revolving Loans and to be calculated for any day after giving effect to any payments made under such Letter of Credit on such day) plus all commissions, charges, costs and expenses in the amounts customarily charged by such Issuing Bank from time to time in like circumstances with respect to the issuance of each Letter of Credit and drawings and other transactions relating thereto. The Company may designate Lenders as Issuing Banks on the basis of competitive quotes of such fronting fees.

69

(8)            Promptly following the end of each calendar month, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to each Lender and the Company a notice describing the aggregate amount of all Letters of Credit outstanding at the end of such month (based on information previously received from the Issuing Banks). Upon the request of any Lender from time to time, the Administrative Agent shall deliver any other information reasonably requested by such Lender with respect to each Letter of Credit then outstanding.

(9)            The issuance by any Issuing Bank of each Letter of Credit shall, in addition to the conditions precedent set forth in Section 7 hereof, be subject to the conditions precedent that (i) such Letter of Credit shall be in such form, contain such terms and support such transactions as shall be satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank consistent with its then current practices and procedures broadly applied to all similarly situated borrowers with respect to letters of credit of the same type, (ii) subject to Section 1.05, such Letter of Credit shall be denominated in Dollars or an Alternate Currency and (iii) the Company or the Parent shall have executed and delivered such applications, agreements and other instruments relating to such Letter of Credit as the applicable Issuing Bank shall have reasonably requested consistent with its then current practices and procedures with respect to letters of credit of the same type, provided that in the event of any conflict between any such application, agreement or other instrument and the provisions of this Agreement or any Security Document, the provisions of this Agreement and the Security Documents shall control.

(10)            To the extent that any Lender shall fail to pay any amount required to be paid pursuant to paragraph (5) or (6) of this Section 2.08 on the due date therefor, such Lender shall pay interest to the applicable Issuing Bank (through the Administrative Agent) on such amount from and including such due date to but excluding the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate or, in the case of any amount payable in a currency other than Dollars, the rate determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion as the appropriate rate for interbank settlements, provided that if such Lender shall fail to make such payment to any Issuing Bank within three Business Days of such due date, then, retroactively to the due date, such Lender shall be obligated to pay interest on such amount at the rate then payable by the Company on such amount.

(11)            The issuance by any Issuing Bank of any modification or supplement to any Letter of Credit hereunder shall be subject to the same conditions as are applicable under this Section 2.08 to the issuance of new Letters of Credit, and no such modification or supplement shall be issued hereunder unless either (i) the respective Letter of Credit affected thereby would have complied with such conditions had it originally been issued hereunder in such modified or supplemented form or (ii) each Lender shall have consented thereto.

70

(12)            The Company and each other Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Lender, each Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent from and against any and all claims and damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel) that such Lender, such Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent may incur (or that may be claimed against such Lender, such Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent by any Person whatsoever) by reason of or in connection with (i) the execution and delivery or transfer of or payment or refusal to pay by any Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder, the issuance of or drawing under the Letters of Credit or the consummation of any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by any Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), or (iii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not such claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding is brought by any Obligor or its equity holders, Affiliates, creditors or any other Person and whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any indemnified party (or its Affiliates), (y) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from a material breach of this Agreement or any of the Basic Documents by any indemnified party (or its Affiliates) or (z) arise in connection with or from any proceeding that does not involve an act or omission by the Parent or the Company or any of their Affiliates and that is brought by an indemnified person against any other indemnified person (other than in its capacity as a Lender, an Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent, a Lead Arranger or other agent hereunder).

(13)            If any Letter of Credit Liabilities remain outstanding after the Maturity Date applicable to Revolving Loans of the applicable Class, the applicable Borrowers shall immediately deposit into the Collateral Account an amount in cash equal to 103% of the amount of the Letter of Credit Liabilities as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon. If any Letter or Credit has an expiration date after the Maturity Date applicable to Revolving Loans of the applicable Class, on or prior to the date that is one year prior to such Maturity Date, the applicable Borrowers shall deposit into and maintain in the Collateral Account an amount in cash equal to 103% of the amount of the Letter of Credit Liabilities.

2.10.            Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a)            fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Revolving Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.03;

(b)            subject to the second proviso to Section 12.05, the Revolving Commitments of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders, the Majority Lenders or the Majority Revolving Lenders, as applicable, have taken or may take any action under this Agreement (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 12.05), provided that in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each Lender affected thereby which affects such Defaulting Lender disproportionately and adversely relative to other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender;

(c)            if any Letter of Credit Liability under any of the Revolving Commitments exists at the time a Revolving Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

(i)            such Defaulting Lender’s pro rata portion of Letter of Credit Liability based on such Lender’s share of the relevant Revolving Commitments (“L/C Exposure”) shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective shares thereof but only to the extent (x) the sum of all non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders’ Revolving Loans under such Revolving Commitments and their Letter of Credit Liabilities thereunder plus such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure under such Revolving Commitments does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders’ Revolving Commitments under such Revolving Commitments and (y) the conditions set forth in Section 7.03 are satisfied at such time;

(ii)            if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the relevant Borrower shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent cash collateralize for the benefit of each Issuing Bank such Borrower’s obligations corresponding to any such Defaulting Lender’s remaining L/C Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 10.01 for so long as such L/C Exposure is outstanding;

(iii)            if the Borrowers cash collateralize any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure pursuant to Section 2.10(c)(ii), no Borrower shall be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.08(7) with respect to such L/C Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure is cash collateralized;

(iv)            if the L/C Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to Section 2.10(c)(i), then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Sections 2.03 and 2.08(7) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable Percentages (after giving effect to such adjustment); or

(v)            if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure is neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to Section 2.10(c)(i) or (ii), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Bank or any other Lender under this Agreement, all letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.08(7) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure shall be payable to such Issuing Bank until and to the extent that such L/C Exposure is cash collateralized and/or reallocated;

72

(d)            so long as any Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Revolving Lender’s then outstanding L/C Exposure will be 100% covered by the Revolving Commitments of the relevant non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the relevant Borrower in accordance with Section 2.10(c), and participating interests in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among such non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.10(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein); and

(e)            any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 10.01 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 12.19 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 such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Bank hereunder; third, to cash collateralize the Issuing Banks’ fronting exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.10(c)(ii); fourth, as the Company may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such 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 Company, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) cash collateralize the Issuing Banks’ future fronting exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement in accordance with Section 2.10(c)(ii); sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or the Issuing Banks against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such 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 Reimbursement Obligations in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 7.03 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and Reimbursement Obligations owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or Reimbursement Obligations owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in L/C Obligations are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable Facility without giving effect to Section 2.10(c)(i). 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 2.10(e) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

73

In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Company and each Issuing Bank agree that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the L/C Exposure of the Revolving Lenders under the relevant Revolving Commitments shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s relevant Revolving Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Loans of such other Revolving Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its share of the relevant Revolving Commitments.

(f)            If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the Company shall have the right, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, to require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse, all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Company shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and if a Revolving Commitment is being assigned, the Issuing Bank) which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, to the extent such consent would have been required pursuant to Section 12.06(b) and (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in Letters of Credit, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts). A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Company to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

2.11.            Term Loan Purchases. So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company may from time to time purchase, in accordance with this Section 2.11, Term Loans of any Class from one or more Lenders on a non-pro rata basis pursuant to a Dutch auction or other process satisfactory to the Administrative Agent open to all applicable Lenders of such Class, on terms to be agreed between the Company and the Lenders participating in such Dutch auction; provided that (i) the Company may not use the proceeds of the Revolving Loans to fund such purchase, (ii) in connection with any such purchase the Parent either (x) makes a customary representation that there is no undisclosed material non-public information (within the meaning of United States federal securities laws) with respect to the Parent and its Subsidiaries and the Loans or (y) that it cannot make the representation set forth in the foregoing clause (x), (iii) the procedures with respect to any such Dutch auction shall be approved by the Administrative Agent and (iv) any principal and accrued interest and unpaid interest on the Term Loans purchased by the Company (or its Affiliates) shall be cancelled and such Term Loans shall no longer be outstanding for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Basic Documents.

For the avoidance of doubt, no Lender shall be required to participate in any Extension.

The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the Extensions and the other transactions contemplated by this Section 2.12 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extension Term Loans on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Offer) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement or any other Basic Document that may otherwise prohibit any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.12.

In the event, upon payment in full of all amounts payable hereunder, the total amount of interest paid to any Lender or accrued on such Lender’s Loans under the terms of this Agreement is less than the total amount of interest which would have been paid to such Lender or accrued on such Lender’s Loans if the Stated Rate had, at all times, been in effect, then the Company shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Lender an amount equal to the difference between (a) the lesser of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on such Xxxxxx’s Loans if the Maximum Rate for such Lender had at all times been in effect or (ii) the amount of interest which would have accrued on such Xxxxxx’s Loans if the Stated Rate had at all times been in effect and (b) the amount of interest actually paid to such Lender or accrued on its Loans under this Agreement. In the event any Lender ever receives, collects or applies as interest any sum in excess of the Maximum Rate for such Lender, such excess amount shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance of its Loans or to other amounts (other than interest) payable hereunder, and if no such principal is then outstanding, such excess or part thereof remaining shall be paid to the Company.

84

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement: (i) all Loans denominated in Dollars shall be Term SOFR Loans or ABR Loans, (ii) all Term SOFR Loans or ABR Loans may only be denominated in Dollars, (iii) all Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars shall be C$ Prime Loans or XXXXX Rate Loans and (iv) all C$ Prime Loans or XXXXX Rate Loans may only be denominated in Canadian Dollars.

For purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), (i) whenever any interest or fee under this Agreement is calculated using a rate based on a year of 360 days or 365 days (or such other period that is less than a calendar year), as the case may be, the rate determined pursuant to such calculation, when expressed as an annual rate, is equivalent to (A) the applicable rate based on a year of 360 days or 365 days (or such other period that is less than a calendar year), as the case may be, (B) multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the period for which such interest or fee is payable (or compounded) ends, and (C) divided by 360 or 365 (or such other period that is less than a calendar year), as the case may be, (ii) the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest does not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement, and (iii) the rates of interest stipulated in this Agreement are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields.

5.06.        Non-Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by a Lender or the Company (the “Payor”) prior to the date on which such Lender is to make payment to the Administrative Agent of the proceeds of a Loan to be made by it hereunder or a Borrower is to make a payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of one or more of the Lenders or Issuing Banks, as the case may be (such payment being herein called the “Required Payment”), which notice shall be effective upon receipt, that the Payor does not intend to make the Required Payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Required Payment has been made and may, in reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be required to), make the amount thereof available to the intended recipient on such date and, if the Payor has not in fact made the Required Payment to the Administrative Agent, the recipient of such payment shall, on demand, pay to the Administrative Agent the amount made available to it together with interest thereon in respect of the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the Administrative Agent until the date the Administrative Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate for such period or, in the case of an amount payable in a currency other than Dollars, the rate determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion of the appropriate rate for interbank settlements.

5.07.        Sharing of Payments; Waiver of Enforcement Without Consent, Etc.

(a)            If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein, any Lender shall obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on account of the Loans of a particular Class made by it (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, it shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and purchase from the other Lenders of such Class participations in the Loans of such Class made or Letter of Credit Liabilities of such Class held by the other Lenders of such Class in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time, such that all the Lenders of such Class shall share the benefit of such payment (net of any expenses which may be incurred by such Lender in obtaining or preserving such benefit) pro rata in accordance with the unpaid principal and interest on the Loans then due to each of them. To such end all the Lenders shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored (including the payment of interest to the extent that the Lender obligated to return such funds is obligated to return interest). The provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made by any Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement as in effect from time to time (including Section 2.11), (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 or (C) any payment received by such Lender not in its capacity as a Lender.

(b)           Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any right of set-off, banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar right or shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise, and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness or obligation of any Borrower.

(c)           This Section 5.07 is for the benefit of the Lenders only and does not constitute a waiver of any rights against any Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries or against any property held as security for any obligations hereunder or under any other Basic Document.

89

5.08.        Taxes.

(a)            Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law; provided, that if any Indemnified Taxes (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Other Taxes) are required to be withheld or deducted from such payments, then (i) the sum payable by the applicable Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made and (ii) if any Borrower was the party required to make such deductions or withholdings under applicable law, such party shall make such deductions and shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b)           Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers. Without limiting the provisions of paragraph (a) above, each Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(c)            Indemnification by the Borrowers. Each Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank, as the case may be, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 5.08) paid or payable by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided, however, that no Borrower shall be liable to indemnify any Lender or participant for any Taxes attributable to a Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.06 relating to maintenance of a Participant Register. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to such Borrower by a Lender or an Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d)           Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrowers have not already indemnified such parties for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Xxxxxx’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.06 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are paid or payable by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Basic Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (d).

90

(e)           Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by a Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 5.08, such Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as the case may be.

(f)            Status of Lenders.

(i)            Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which a Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder shall deliver to such Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as the case may be), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as the case may be, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by a Borrower or the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as the case may be, as will enable such Borrower or the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, the completion, execution and submission of any such documentation for the benefit of a Borrower (other than such documentation set forth in Section 5.08(f)(ii)(I), (II) and (IV) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii)            Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, with respect to the Parent, the Company and any other Borrower that is resident for tax purposes in the United States of America,

(I)            any Lender that is resident for tax purposes in the United States of America shall deliver to the Parent, the Company or such other Borrower and the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Parent, the Company, any other Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be), executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from United States Federal backup withholding tax,

(II)            any Foreign Lender (such term to mean, solely for purposes of this Section 5.08(f)(ii)(II), any Lender that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States of America, each State thereof and the District of Columbia), or, in the case of clause (4) below, any Lender, shall deliver to the Parent, the Company or any such other Borrower and the Administrative Agent, as the case may be (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient), on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Parent, the Company, any other Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, but only if such Lender is legally entitled to do so) whichever of the following is applicable:

91

(1)            in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Basic Document, duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, United States Federal withholding tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Basic Document, duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, United States Federal withholding tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty,

(3)            in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10-percent shareholder” of the Parent, the Company or any other Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, or

(4)            to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, accompanied by Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit P-2 or Exhibit P-3, Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit P-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner,

92

(IV)          if a payment made to a Lender under this Agreement would be subject to United States Federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Parent, the Company, any other Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Parent, the Company, any other Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Parent, the Company, any other Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for it to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender's obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 5.08(f)(ii)(IV), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Original Closing Date.

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(g)           Additional United Kingdom Withholding Tax Matters.

(i)            Subject to (ii) below, each Lender and each UK Borrower which makes a payment to such Lender shall cooperate in completing any procedural formalities necessary for such UK Borrower to obtain authorization to make such payment without withholding or deduction for Taxes imposed under the laws of the United Kingdom.

(ii)

(I)            A Lender on the Effective Date that (x) holds a passport under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme and (y) wishes such scheme to apply to this Agreement, shall provide its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence to each UK Borrower and the Administrative Agent; and

(II)           a Lender which becomes a Lender hereunder after the day on which this Agreement closes that (x) holds a passport under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme and (y) wishes such scheme to apply to this Agreement, shall provide its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence to each UK Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and

(III)          Upon satisfying either clause (A) or (B) above, such Lender shall have satisfied its obligation under paragraph (g)(i) above.

(iii)           If a Lender has confirmed its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with paragraph (g)(ii) above, the UK Borrower(s) shall make a Borrower DTTP Filing with respect to such Lender, and shall promptly provide such Lender with a copy of such filing; provided that, if:

93

(I)            each UK Borrower making a payment to such Lender has not made a Borrower DTTP Filing in respect of such Lender; or

(II)           each UK Borrower making a payment to such Lender has made a Borrower DTTP Filing in respect of such Lender but:

(1)            such Borrower DTTP Filing has been rejected by HM Revenue & Customs; or

(2)            HM Revenue & Customs has not given such UK Borrower authority to make payments to such Lender without a deduction for tax within 60 days of the date of such Borrower DTTP Filing;

and in each case, such UK Borrower has notified that Lender in writing of either (1) or (2) above, then such Lender and such UK Borrower shall co-operate in completing any additional procedural formalities necessary for such UK Borrower to obtain authorization to make that payment without withholding or deduction for Taxes imposed under the laws of the United Kingdom.

(iv)          If a Lender has not confirmed its scheme reference number and jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with paragraph (g)(ii) above, no UK Borrower shall make a Borrower DTTP Filing or file any other form relating to the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme in respect of that Xxxxxx’s Commitment(s) or its participation in any Loan unless the Lender otherwise agrees.

(v)           Each UK Borrower shall, promptly on making a Borrower DTTP Filing, deliver a copy of such Borrower DTTP Filing to the Administrative Agent for delivery to the relevant Lender.

(vi)          Each Lender shall notify each Borrower and Administrative Agent if it determines in its sole discretion that it is ceases to be entitled to claim the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United Kingdom is a party with respect to payments made by any U.K. Borrower hereunder.

(h)           FATCA Grandfathering. For purposes of determining withholding taxes imposed under FATCA, from and after the Original Closing Date of this Agreement, the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to treat) the Existing Credit Agreement (together with any loans or other extensions of credit pursuant thereto) as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i) and related temporary regulations.

94

(i)            Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent, a Lender or an Issuing Bank determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Borrower or with respect to which any Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to such Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that each Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank in the event the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (i), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (i) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrowers or any other Person.

(j)            Survival. Each party's obligations under this Section 5.08 shall survive any resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Revolving Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other obligations under this Agreement.

5.09.        Judgment Currency. If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due from a Borrower hereunder in the currency expressed to be payable herein (the “specified currency”) into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the specified currency with other such currency at the Administrative Agent’s New York Office on the Business Day that is on or immediately following the day on which final judgment is given. The obligations of the Borrowers in respect of any sum due to any Lender, the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than the specified currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender, the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency, such Lender, the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the specified currency with such other currency. If the amount of the specified currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Lender, the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, in the specified currency, each of the Borrowers agrees, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender, the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank, against such loss, and if the amount of the specified currency so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to any Lender, the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank in the specified currency, such Lender, the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank, agrees to remit such excess to the Borrowers.

95

Section 6.      Yield Protection and Illegality.

6.01.        Additional Costs.

(a)           The Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender from time to time such amounts as such Lender may determine to be necessary to compensate it for any costs incurred by such Lender which such Lender determines are attributable to its making, maintaining, converting or continuing of any Loans hereunder to the Company or any other Borrower or its obligation to make any of such Loans hereunder to the Company or any other Borrower, or any reduction in any amount receivable by such Lender in respect of any of such Loans or such obligation (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”), in each case resulting from any Regulatory Change which:

(i)            subjects the Lender or Issuing Bank to Taxes on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto (other than Indemnified Taxes covered by Section 5.08 and Excluded Taxes); or

(ii)            imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, special deposit, liquidity or similar requirement (including any compulsory loan requirement, insurance charge or other assessment) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate) or Issuing Bank; or

(iii)            imposes any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement (or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities).

Each Lender (such term to include the Issuing Bank for purposes of this Section 6.01(a), solely in the case of and with respect to (i) above) will notify the Company through the Administrative Agent of any event occurring after the Original Closing Date which will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section 6.01(a) (an “Additional Cost Event”) as promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such compensation, provided, that the Company shall not be obligated to compensate such Lender for any such Additional Costs incurred more than 180 days prior to the time the Lender first notifies the Company of such Additional Cost Event (or such longer period if such Additional Cost Event is given retroactive effect). Each Lender will furnish the Company with a statement setting forth the calculations and the basis therefor, in each case in reasonable detail, and amount of each request by such Lender for compensation under this Section 6.01(a). If any Lender requests compensation from the Company under this Section 6.01(a), the Company may, by notice to such Lender through the Administrative Agent, suspend the obligation of such Lender to make additional Loans of the Type for which compensation is requested to the Company until the Regulatory Change giving rise to such request ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 6.04 hereof shall be applicable).

(b)           Without limiting the effect of the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.01, in the event that, by reason of any Regulatory Change, any Lender either (i) incurs Additional Costs based on or measured by the excess above a specified level of the amount of a category of deposits or other liabilities of such Lender which includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on Term Benchmark Loans is determined as provided in this Agreement or a category of extensions of credit or other assets of such Lender which includes Term Benchmark Loans or (ii) becomes subject to restrictions on the amount of such a category of liabilities or assets which it may hold, then, if such Lender so elects by notice to the Company (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the obligation of such Lender to make Term Benchmark Loans hereunder shall be suspended until the date such Regulatory Change ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 6.04 hereof shall be applicable).

(c)           Determinations and allocations by any Lender for purposes of this Section 6.01 of the effect of any Regulatory Change on its costs of maintaining its obligations to make Loans or of making or maintaining Loans or on amounts receivable by it in respect of Loans, and of the additional amounts required to compensate such Lender in respect of any Additional Costs, shall be conclusive absent manifest error, provided that such determinations and allocations are made on a reasonable basis.

(d)           If any Lender demands compensation under this Section, the Company may, at any time upon at least three (3) Business Days’ prior notice to such Lender through the Administrative Agent, convert in full the then outstanding Term Benchmark Loans denominated in Dollars of such Lender (in which case the Company shall be obligated, if such conversion is made on a day that is not the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such affected Term Benchmark Loan, to reimburse such Lender, in accordance with Section 6.05, for any resulting loss or expense incurred by it) to an ABR Loan.

6.02.        Alternate Rate of Interest.

(a)            Subject to clauses (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f) of this Section 6.02, if:

(i)            the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) (A) prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Term Benchmark Borrowing, that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, the Term SOFR Rate, the Adjusted Term XXXXX Rate or Term XXXXX (including because the Term SOFR Reference Rate or the Term XXXXX Reference Rate is not available or published on a current basis), for such Interest Period or (B) at any time, that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR or Daily Simple SOFR, Adjusted Daily Simple XXXXX or Daily Simple XXXXX; or

(ii)            the Administrative Agent is advised by the Majority Lenders that (A) prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Term Benchmark Borrowing, the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate or Adjusted Term XXXXX Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period or (B) at any time, Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR or Adjusted Daily Simple XXXXX will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing;

97

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Parent and the Lenders by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until (x) the Administrative Agent notifies the Parent and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist with respect to the relevant Benchmark and (y) the applicable Borrower delivers a new Interest Election Request in accordance with the terms of Section 2.08 or a new Borrowing Request in accordance with the terms of Section 2.03, (A) for Loans denominated in Dollars, (1) any requests for the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Term Benchmark Borrowing and any borrowing request that requests a Term Benchmark Borrowing shall instead be deemed to be a request for (x) an RFR Borrowing so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not also the subject of Section 6.02(a)(i) or (ii) above or (y) an ABR Borrowing if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR also is the subject of Section 6.02(a)(i) or (ii) above and (2) any Borrowing Request that requests an RFR Borrowing shall instead be deemed to be a Borrowing Request, as applicable, for an ABR Borrowing, and (B) for Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars, any requests for the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Term Benchmark Borrowing and any borrowing request that requests a Term Benchmark Borrowing shall instead be deemed to be a request for (x) a Borrowing bearing interest by reference to the Adjusted Daily Simple XXXXX, so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple XXXXX is not also the subject of Section 6.02(a)(i) or (ii) above or (y) a C$ Prime Rate Borrowing if the Adjusted Daily Simple XXXXX also is the subject of Section 6.02(a)(i) or (ii) above; provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one Type of Borrowings, then all other Types of Borrowings shall be permitted. Furthermore, if any Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan is outstanding on the date of the Parent’s receipt of the notice from the Administrative Agent referred to in this Section 6.02(a) with respect to a Relevant Rate applicable to such Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan, then until (x) the Administrative Agent notifies the Parent and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist with respect to the relevant Benchmark and (y) the applicable Borrower delivers a new request in accordance with the terms of Section 5.05, (A) for Loans denominated in Dollars, (1) any Term Benchmark Loan shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, (x) an RFR Borrowing so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not also the subject of Section 6.02(a)(i) or (ii) above or (y) an ABR Loan if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR also is the subject of Section 6.02(a)(i) or (ii) above, on such day, and (2) any RFR Loan shall on and from such day be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute an ABR Loan and (B) for Loans denominated in an Canadian Dollars, any Term Benchmark Loan shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, (x) a Borrowing bearing interest by reference to the Adjusted Daily Simple XXXXX so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple XXXXX is not also the subject of Section 6.02(a)(i) or (ii) above or (y) a C$ Prime Loan if the Adjusted Daily Simple XXXXX also is the subject of Section 6.02(a)(i) or (ii) above, on such day.

98

(b)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Basic Document (and any Hedging Agreement or Cash Management Agreement shall be deemed not to be a “Basic Document” for purposes of this Section 6.02), if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Basic Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) 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 Basic 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 Majority Lenders of each affected Class.

(c)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Basic Document, the Administrative Agent will have the right, in consultation with the Parent, to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Basic 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 or any other Basic Document.

(d)           The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Parent and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (iv) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (f) below and (v) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 6.02, 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 or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Basic Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 6.02.

(e)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Basic Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Rate or the Term XXXXX) and either (ii) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (iii) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Xxxxxxxxx has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (iv) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (I) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (II) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

99

(f)            Upon the Parent’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrowers may revoke any request for a Term Benchmark Borrowing or RFR Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term Benchmark Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, either (x) the applicable Borrowers will be deemed to have converted any request for (1) a Term Benchmark Borrowing denominated in Dollars into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to (A) an RFR Borrowing denominated in Dollars so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event or (B) an ABR Borrowing if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event or (y) the applicable Borrowers will be deemed to have converted any request for (1) a Term Benchmark Borrowing denominated in Canadian Dollars into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to (A) a Borrowing bearing interest by reference to the Adjusted Daily Simple XXXXX, so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple XXXXX is not the subject of Section 6.02(a)(i) or (ii) above or (B) an C$ Prime Rate Borrowing if the Adjusted Daily Simple XXXXX is the subject of Section 6.02(a)(i) or (ii) above. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of ABR based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of ABR and the component of the C$ Prime Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of C$ Prime Rate. Furthermore, if any Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan is outstanding on the date of the Parent’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to a Relevant Rate applicable to such Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan, then until such time as a Benchmark Replacement is implemented pursuant to this Section 6.02, (A) for loans denominated in Dollars, (1) any Term Benchmark Loan shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, (x) an RFR Borrowing so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event or (y) an ABR Loan if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event, on such day and (2) any RFR Loan shall on and from such day be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute an ABR Loan and (B) for Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars, any Term Benchmark Loan shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, (x) a Borrowing bearing interest by reference to the Adjusted Daily Simple XXXXX so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple XXXXX is not the subject of Section 6.02(a)(i) or (ii) above or (y) a C$ Prime Loan if the Adjusted Daily Simple XXXXX is the subject of Section 6.02(a)(i) or (ii) above, on such day.

6.03.        Illegality. If, in any applicable jurisdiction, the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender determines that any law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender to (i) perform its obligations hereunder or under any other Base Document with respect to Term Benchmark Loans, (ii) fund or maintain its participation in any Term Benchmark Loan or (iii) issue, make, maintain, fund or charge interest with respect to any such Loan, such Person shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, and upon the Administrative Agent notifying the Parent, and until such notice by such Person is revoked, any obligation of such Person to issue, make, maintain, fund or charge interest with respect to any such Loan shall be suspended, and to the extent required by applicable law, cancelled.

100

6.04.        Substitute ABR Loans. If the obligation of any Lender to make Term Benchmark Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 6.01, 6.02 or 6.03 hereof, all Loans in Dollars which would otherwise be made by such Lender as Term Benchmark Loans shall be made instead as ABR Loans (and, if an event referred to in Section 6.01(b) or 6.03 hereof has occurred and such Lender so requests by notice to the Company with a copy to the Administrative Agent, each Dollar-denominated Term Benchmark Loan of such Lender then outstanding shall be automatically converted into an ABR Loan on the date specified by such Lender in such notice) and, to the extent that Term Benchmark Loans are so made as (or converted into) ABR Loans, all payments of principal which would otherwise be applied to such Term Benchmark Loans shall be applied instead to such ABR Loans. If the obligation of any Lender to make XXXXX Rate Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 6.01 or 6.03 hereof, all Loans in Canadian Dollars which would otherwise be made by such Lender as XXXXX Rate Loans shall be made instead as C$ Prime Loans (and, if an event referred to in Section 6.01(b) or 6.03 hereof has occurred and such Lender so requests by notice to the Company with a copy to the Administrative Agent, each Canadian Dollar-denominated XXXXX Rate Loan of such Lender then outstanding shall be automatically converted into a C$ Prime Loan on the date specified by such Lender in such notice) and, to the extent that XXXXX Rate Loans are so made as (or converted into) C$ Prime Loans, all payments of principal which would otherwise be applied to such XXXXX Rate Loans shall be applied instead to such C$ Prime Loans.

6.05.        Compensation. The Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, upon the request of such Lender through the Administrative Agent, such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable opinion of such Lender) to compensate it for any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

(1)            any payment, prepayment or conversion (including, without limitation, an automatic conversion pursuant to Section 10.02 hereof) of a Term Benchmark Loan made by such Lender to the Company or any other Borrower on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period for such Loan;

(2)            any failure by the Company or any other Borrower to borrow a Term Benchmark Loan to be made by such Lender to the Company or such other Borrower on the date for such borrowing specified in the relevant notice of borrowing under Section 5.05 hereof;

(3)            any failure by the Company or any other Borrower to prepay a Term Benchmark Loan on the date specified in a notice of prepayment; or

(4)            any substitution of a Lender under Section 6.07 hereof on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period for each Loan of such Lender;

but excluding, in any event, loss of margin for the period after any such payment, prepayment or conversion or failure to borrow; provided that such Lender shall have delivered to the Company a certificate as to the amount of such loss and expense along with the calculation and the basis therefor, in each case in reasonable detail.

101

6.06.        Capital Adequacy. If any Lender shall determine that any Regulatory Change regarding capital adequacy or liquidity after the Original Closing Date, or any change therein after the Original Closing Date, or any change after the Original Closing Date in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of such Lender or any Person controlling such Lender (a “Lender Parent”) as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender (or its Lender Parent) could have achieved but for such Regulatory Change (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, within 15 days after demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Company shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction. A statement of any Lender claiming compensation under this Section and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided that the determination thereof is made on a reasonable basis; and provided further that the Company shall not be obligated to compensate such Lender for any such reduction occurring more than 180 days prior to the time such Lender first notifies the Company of such Regulatory Change. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

6.07.        Mitigation Obligations; Substitution of Lender.

(a)            If any Lender requests compensation under Section 6.01, 6.06 or 6.08, or requires the Company or any other Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Other Taxes) or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 5.08, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Company) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 6.01, 6.06, 6.08 or 5.08, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Company hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b)           If (i) the obligation of any Lender to make Term Benchmark Loans or the right of the Company to convert ABR Loans or C$ Prime Loans of any Lender to Term Benchmark Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 6.03, (ii) any Lender has demanded compensation under Section 6.01, 6.06 or 6.08, or (iii) any Lender requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 5.08, the Company shall have the right, with the assistance of the Administrative Agent, to seek a substitute bank or banks (which may be one or more of the Lenders) satisfactory to Company and the Administrative Agent to assume the Commitments and Loans of such Lender. Any such Lender shall be obligated to sell Loans and Revolving Commitments for cash without recourse to such substitute bank or banks and to execute and deliver an appropriately completed assignment and assumption agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Company and any other document or perform any act reasonably necessary to effect the assumption of the rights and obligations of such substitute bank or banks.

102

6.08.        Additional Costs in Respect of Letters of Credit. Without limiting the obligations of the Borrowers under Section 6.01 hereof (but without duplication), if as a result of any Regulatory Change or any risk-based capital guideline or other requirement heretofore or hereafter issued by any government or governmental or supervisory authority, there shall be imposed, modified or deemed applicable any Tax (other than Indemnified Taxes covered by Section 5.08 and Excluded Taxes), reserve, special deposit, capital adequacy or similar requirement against or with respect to or measured by reference to Letters of Credit issued or to be issued hereunder and the result shall be to increase the cost to any Lender or Lenders of issuing (or purchasing participations in) or maintaining its obligation hereunder to issue (or purchase participations in) any Letter of Credit hereunder or reduce any amount receivable by any Lender hereunder in respect of any Letter of Credit (which increases in cost, or reductions in amount receivable, shall be the result of such Lender’s or Lenders’ reasonable allocation of the aggregate of such increases or reductions resulting from such event), then, upon demand by such Lender or Lenders (through the Administrative Agent), the relevant Borrower shall pay immediately to the Administrative Agent for account of such Lender or Lenders, from time to time as specified by such Lender or Lenders (through the Administrative Agent), such additional amounts as shall be sufficient to compensate such Lender or Lenders (through the Administrative Agent) for such increased costs or reductions in amount. A statement as to such increased costs or reductions in amount incurred by any such Lender or Lenders, showing calculations and the basis therefor in reasonable detail, submitted by such Lender or Lenders to the relevant Borrower, shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error as to the amount thereof.

(9)            an ERISA Event shall have occurred that, when taken together with all other ERISA Events that have occurred, would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect;

THEREUPON: the Administrative Agent may (and, if directed by the Majority Lenders, shall) (a) declare the Commitments terminated (whereupon the Commitments shall be terminated) and/or (b) declare the principal amount then outstanding of and the accrued interest on the Loans, the Reimbursement Obligations, and commitment fees and all other amounts payable hereunder to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon such amounts shall be and become immediately due and payable, without notice (including, without limitation, notice of intent to accelerate), presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by each of the Borrowers; provided that (A) in the case of the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to any Borrower referred to in clause (6) or (7) of this Section 10.01, the Commitments shall be automatically terminated and the principal amount then outstanding of and the accrued interest on the Loans, the Reimbursement Obligations, and commitment fees and all other amounts payable hereunder shall be and become automatically and immediately due and payable, without notice (including, without limitation, notice of intent to accelerate), presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by each of the Borrowers and (B) in the case of the occurrence of an Event of Default arising under the Financial Covenants, after giving effect to the second proviso in Section 10.01(4), the Administrative Agent may (and, if directed by the Majority Lenders, shall) (a) declare the Revolving Commitments terminated (whereupon the Revolving Commitments shall be terminated) and the Commitments with respect to Term Loans (other than any Term B Loans) terminated (whereupon such Commitments shall be terminated) and/or (b) declare the principal amount then outstanding of and the accrued interest on the Loans (other than any Term B Loans), the Reimbursement Obligations, and commitment fees and all other amounts payable hereunder (other than such fees and other amounts with respect to Term B Loans) to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon such amounts shall be and become immediately due and payable, without notice (including, without limitation, notice of intent to accelerate), presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by each of the Borrowers.

127

In addition, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default (if the Administrative Agent has declared the principal amount then outstanding of, and accrued interest on, the Loans and all other amounts payable by the Borrowers to be due and payable), the Company agrees that it shall, if requested by the Administrative Agent or the Majority Lenders through the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of any Event of Default referred to in clause (6) or (7) of this Section 10.01 with respect to any Borrower, forthwith, without any demand or the taking of any other action by the Administrative Agent or such Lenders) provide cover for the Letter of Credit Liabilities by paying to the Administrative Agent immediately available funds in an amount equal to 103% of the then aggregate undrawn stated amount of all Letters of Credit, which funds shall be held by the Administrative Agent in the Collateral Account as collateral security in the first instance for the Letter of Credit Liabilities.

10.02.            Ratable Treatment of Lenders. In the event that the Loans and the Reimbursement Obligations shall be declared or become immediately due and payable on any date (the “Acceleration Date”) pursuant to Section 10.01 hereof, each of the Borrowers and the Revolving Lenders agree that the outstanding Revolving Loans and Reimbursement Obligations and accrued but unpaid interest thereon not denominated in Dollars shall be automatically converted to Dollars on the Acceleration Date at the then applicable Exchange Rate and any Reimbursement Obligation not denominated in Dollars thereafter arising shall be automatically converted to Dollars on the date of the drawing giving rise thereto under the relevant Letter of Credit at the then applicable Exchange Rate. The Revolving Lenders hereby irrevocably agree for the benefit of each other (and not for the benefit of any of the Borrowers or the other Obligors) that, effective as of the Acceleration Date, each Revolving Lender shall acquire participations in each then outstanding Revolving Loan and Letter of Credit Liability in proportion to the aggregate outstanding amount of Revolving Loans of such Revolving Lender plus such Revolving Lender’s L/C Exposure, to the aggregate outstanding amount of Revolving Loans of all the Revolving Lenders plus all Revolving Lenders’ L/C Exposure, in each case determined immediately prior to the Acceleration Date (such Revolving Lender’s “Proportion”). On or promptly following the Acceleration Date, the Administrative Agent shall determine for each Revolving Lender the difference between (a) such Revolving Lender’s Proportion of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Revolving Loans and Reimbursement Obligations on the Acceleration Date after giving effect to the automatic conversion to Dollars and (b) the aggregate principal amount of such Revolving Lender’s actual outstanding Revolving Loans and Reimbursement Obligations on the Acceleration Date after giving effect to the automatic conversions to Dollars. Each Revolving Lender whose difference is positive shall make a payment which is equal to such difference to the Administrative Agent in Dollars in immediately available funds on a date set by the Administrative Agent promptly following the Acceleration Date. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Revolving Lenders whose differences are negative, with such distribution to be ratable based upon the respective amounts of such negative differences. On each subsequent date on which a Reimbursement Obligation arises by virtue of a draw on a Letter of Credit, each Revolving Lender shall, promptly after being notified thereof, make a payment to the Issuing Bank equal to its Proportion of such Reimbursement Obligation. To the extent that any Revolving Lender shall fail to pay any amount required to be paid pursuant to this Section 10.02 on the due date therefor, such Revolving Lender shall pay interest to the Administrative Agent for ratable distribution to the Revolving Lenders or Issuing Bank entitled thereto on such amount from and including such due date to but excluding the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate, provided that if such Revolving Lender shall fail to make such payment within three Business Days of such due date, then, retroactively to the due date, such Revolving Lender shall be obligated to pay interest on such amount at the Alternate Base Rate.

Section 11. The Administrative Agent; Other Agents.

11.01.            Appointment Powers and Immunities.

(a)            Each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints the entity named as Administrative Agent in the heading of this Agreement and its successors and assigns to serve as the administrative agent and collateral agent under the Basic Documents and each Lender and each Issuing Bank authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Basic Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent under such agreements and to exercise such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. In addition, to the extent required under the laws of any jurisdiction other than within the United States, each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby grants to the Administrative Agent any required powers of attorney to execute and enforce any Security Document governed by the laws of such jurisdiction on such Xxxxxx’s or such Issuing Bank’s behalf. Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, each of the Basic Documents to which the Administrative Agent is a party, and to exercise all rights, powers and remedies that the Administrative Agent may have under such Basic Documents.

(b)            As to any matters not expressly provided for herein and in the other Basic Documents (including enforcement or collection), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the written instructions of the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, pursuant to the terms in the Basic Documents), and, unless and until revoked in writing, such instructions shall be binding upon each Lender and each Issuing Bank; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that (1) the Administrative Agent in good faith believes exposes it to liability unless the Administrative Agent receives an indemnification and is exculpated in a manner satisfactory to it from the Lenders and the Issuing Banks with respect to such action or (2) is contrary to this Agreement or any other Basic Document or applicable law, including any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any requirement of law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any requirement of law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors; provided, further, that the Administrative Agent may seek clarification or direction from the Majority Lenders prior to the exercise of any such instructed action and may refrain from acting until such clarification or direction has been provided. Except as expressly set forth in the Basic Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Borrower, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Administrative Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

129

(c)            In performing its functions and duties hereunder and under the other Basic Documents, the Administrative Agent is acting solely on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks (except in limited circumstances expressly provided for herein relating to the maintenance of the Register), and its duties are entirely mechanical and administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(i)            the Administrative Agent does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation or duty or any other relationship as the agent, fiduciary or trustee of or for any Lender, Issuing Bank or holder of any other obligation other than as expressly set forth herein and in the other Basic Documents, regardless of whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (and it is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” (or any similar term) herein or in any other Basic Document with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary duty or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law, and that such term is used as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties); additionally, each Lender agrees that it will not assert any claim against the Administrative Agent based on an alleged breach of fiduciary duty by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement and/or the transactions contemplated hereby;

(ii)            where the Administrative Agent is required or deemed to act as a trustee in respect of any Collateral over which a security interest has been created pursuant to a Basic Document expressed to be governed by the laws of Canada, or is required or deemed to hold any Collateral “on trust” pursuant to the foregoing, the obligations and liabilities of the Administrative Agent to the Credit Parties in its capacity as trustee shall be excluded to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law; and

(iii)            nothing in this Agreement or any Basic Document shall require the Administrative Agent to account to any Lender for any sum or the profit element of any sum received by the Administrative Agent for its own account.

(d)            The Administrative Agent may perform any of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Basic Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any of their respective duties and exercise their respective rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities pursuant to this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agent except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agent.

130

(e)            In case of the pendency of any proceeding with respect to any Obligor under any Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or any Reimbursement 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 any Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(i)              to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent (including any claim under Sections 2.03, 4.02, 5.08, 6.01, 6.05, 6.06, 6.08, 12.03 and 12.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(ii)            to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

(iii)            and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender, each Issuing Bank and each other Credit Party to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or the other Credit Parties, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due to it, in its capacity as the Administrative Agent, under the Basic Documents (including under Sections 12.03 and 12.04). 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 Issuing Bank any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or Issuing Bank or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or Issuing Bank in any such proceeding.

(f)            The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, and, except solely to the extent of the Borrowers’ rights to consent pursuant to and subject to the conditions set forth in this Article, none of the Borrowers or any Subsidiary, or any of their respective Affiliates, shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary under any such provisions. Each Credit Party, whether or not a party hereto, will be deemed, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Collateral and of the Guarantees of the Obligations provided under the Basic Documents, to have agreed to the provisions of this Article.

131

11.02.            Administrative Agent’s Reliance, Limitation of Liability, Etc.

(a)            Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be (i) liable to any Lender or Issuing Bank for any action taken or omitted to be taken by such party, the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties under or in connection with this Agreement or the other Basic Documents (x) with the consent of or at the request of the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in the Basic Documents) or (y) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct (such absence to be presumed unless otherwise determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and non-appealable judgment) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Obligor or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Basic Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Basic Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Basic Document (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with the Administrative Agent’s reliance on any Electronic Signature transmitted by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page) or for any failure of any Obligor to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder.

(b)            The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any notice of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice thereof (stating that it is a “notice of Default” or a “notice of an Event of Default”) is given to the Administrative Agent by a Borrower, a Lender or an Issuing Bank. Further, the Administrative Agent 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 any Basic Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Basic Document or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the sufficiency, validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Basic Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 7, the Amendment and Restatement Agreement or elsewhere in any Basic Document, other than to confirm receipt of items (which on their face purport to be such items) expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or satisfaction of any condition that expressly refers to the matters described therein being acceptable or satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, or (vi) the creation, perfection or priority of Liens on the Collateral. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be liable for, or be responsible for any liabilities, costs or expenses suffered by any Lender or any Issuing Bank as a result of, any determination of the amount of Revolving Loans or Letter of Credit Liabilities, any of the component amounts thereof or any portion thereof attributable to each Lender or Issuing Bank.

(c)            Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent (i) may treat the payee of any promissory note as its holder until such promissory note has been assigned in accordance with Section 12.06, (ii) may rely on the Register to the extent set forth in Section 12.06(e), (iii) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrowers), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts, (iv) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender or Issuing Bank and shall not be responsible to any Lender or Issuing Bank for any statements, warranties or representations made by or on behalf of any Obligor in connection with this Agreement or any other Basic Document, (v) in determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or Issuing Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or Issuing Bank sufficiently in advance of the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit and (vi) shall be entitled to rely on, and shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Basic Document by acting upon, any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which writing may be a fax, any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) or any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper party or parties (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Basic Documents for being the maker thereof).

132

(d)            The Administrative Agent Individually. With respect to its Commitment, Loans, Letter of Credit Sublimit and Letters of Credit, the Person serving as the Administrative Agent shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and is subject to the same obligations and liabilities as and to the extent set forth herein for any other Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be. The terms “Issuing Banks”, “Lenders”, “Majority Lenders”, “Majority Revolving Lenders” and any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender, Issuing Bank or as one of the Majority Lenders, as applicable. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with, any Borrower, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing as if such Person was not acting as the Administrative Agent and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks.

11.03.            Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed under Section 12.03 or 12.04 hereof, but without limiting the obligations of the Company and the Parent under said Sections 12.03 and 12.04), ratably in accordance with the principal amount of their respective Loans and Reimbursement Obligations outstanding, or if no Loans or Reimbursement Obligations are outstanding, ratably in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments, for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Basic Document or any other documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including, without limitation, the costs and expenses which the Company or the Parent is obligated to pay under Sections 12.03 and 12.04 hereof but excluding, unless a Default has occurred and is continuing, normal administrative costs and expenses incident to the performance of its agency duties hereunder) or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof or of any such other documents, provided, that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party to be indemnified.

133

11.04.            Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.

(a)            Each Lender and each Issuing Bank represents and warrants that (i) the Basic Documents set forth the terms of a commercial lending facility, (ii) it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans and in providing other facilities set forth herein as may be applicable to such Lender or Issuing Bank, in each case in the ordinary course of business, and not for the purpose of purchasing, acquiring or holding any other type of financial instrument (and each Lender and each Issuing Bank agrees not to assert a claim in contravention of the foregoing), (iii) it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Lead Arranger, any Joint Bookrunner, any Co-Syndication Agent, any Co-Documentation Agent or any other Lender or Issuing Bank, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement as a Lender, and to make, acquire or hold Loans or Commitments hereunder and (iv) it is sophisticated with respect to decisions to make, acquire and/or hold commercial loans and to provide other facilities set forth herein, as may be applicable to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, and either it, or the Person exercising discretion in making its decision to make, acquire and/or hold such commercial loans or to provide such other facilities, is experienced in making, acquiring or holding such commercial loans or providing such other facilities. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Lead Arranger, any Joint Bookrunner, any Co-Syndication Agent, any Co-Documentation Agent, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information (which may contain material, non-public information within the meaning of the United States securities laws concerning the Parent, the Company, any Borrower and their respective Affiliates) 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 Basic Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

(b)            Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement on the A&R Closing Date, or delivering its signature page to an Assignment and Assumption or any other Basic Document pursuant to which it shall become a Lender hereunder, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Basic Document and each other document required to be delivered to, or be approved by or satisfactory to, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders on the A&R Closing Date.

(c)

(i)            Each Lender or Issuing Bank hereby agrees that (x) if the Administrative Agent notifies such Lender or Issuing Bank that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Lender or Issuing Bank from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, a “Payment”) were erroneously transmitted to such Lender or Issuing Bank (whether or not known to such Lender or Issuing Bank), and demands the return of such Payment (or a portion thereof), such Lender or Issuing Bank shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender or Issuing Bank to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect, and (y) to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender or Issuing Bank shall not assert, and hereby waives, as to the Administrative Agent, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Payments received, including without limitation any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or Issuing Bank under this Section 11.04(c) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

134

(ii)            Each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby further agrees that if it receives a Payment from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Payment (a “Payment Notice”) or (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, it shall be on notice, in each such case, that an error has been made with respect to such Payment.  Each Lender and each Issuing Bank agrees that, in each such case, or if it otherwise becomes aware a Payment (or portion thereof) may have been sent in error, such Lender or Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender or Issuing Bank to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.

(c)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time any Issuing Bank assigns all of its Commitment and Loans hereunder, such Issuing Bank may, upon 30 days’ notice to the Parent and the Revolving Xxxxxxx, resign as Issuing Bank. If any Issuing Bank resigns as Issuing Bank, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of Issuing Bank hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation until such Letters of Credit are terminated.

(b)            Although the Approved Electronic Platform and its primary web portal are secured with generally-applicable security procedures and policies implemented or modified by the Administrative Agent from time to time (including, as of the A&R Closing Date, a user ID/password authorization system) and the Approved Electronic Platform is secured through a per-deal authorization method whereby each user may access the Approved Electronic Platform only on a deal-by-deal basis, each of the Lenders, each of the Issuing Banks, the Parent, the Company and each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure, that the Administrative Agent is not responsible for approving or vetting the representatives or contacts of any Lender that are added to the Approved Electronic Platform, and that there may be confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution. Each of the Lenders, each of the Issuing Banks, the Parent, the Company and each Borrower hereby approves distribution of the Communications through the Approved Electronic Platform and understands and assumes the risks of such distribution.

(d)            Each Lender and each Issuing Bank agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that Communications have been posted to the Approved Electronic Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Basic Documents.

139

(b)            In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation thereof, no arrangements in respect of Cash Management Agreements the obligations under which constitute secured Obligations and no Hedging Agreement the obligations under which constitute secured Obligations, will create (or be deemed to create) in favor of any Credit Party that is a party thereto any rights in connection with the management or release of any Collateral or of the obligations of any Obligor under any Basic Document. By accepting the benefits of the Collateral, each Credit Party that is a party to any such arrangement in respect of Cash Management Agreements or Hedging Agreements, as applicable, shall be deemed to have appointed the Administrative Agent to serve as administrative agent and collateral agent under the Basic Documents and agreed to be bound by the Basic Documents as a Credit Party thereunder, subject to the limitations set forth in this paragraph.

(c)            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 any Obligor in connection therewith, nor shall the Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders or any other Credit Party for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.

11.13.            Credit Bidding. The Credit Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Majority Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations (including by accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (1) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar laws in any other jurisdictions to which an Obligor is subject, or (2) at any other sale, 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 law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Obligations owed to the Credit Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid by the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Majority Lenders 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 shall 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) for the asset or assets so purchased (or for the equity interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are issued in connection with such purchase). In connection with any such bid, (a) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles and to assign any successful credit bid to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, (b) each of the Credit Parties’ ratable interests in the Obligations which were credit bid shall be deemed without any further action under this Agreement to be assigned to such vehicle or vehicles for the purpose of closing such sale, (c) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized 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, and the governing documents shall provide for, control by the vote of the Majority Lenders or their permitted assignees under the terms of this Agreement or the governing documents of the applicable acquisition vehicle or vehicles, as the case may be, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Majority Lenders contained in Section 12.05 of this Agreement), (d) the Administrative Agent on behalf of such acquisition vehicle or vehicles shall be authorized to issue to each of the Credit Parties, ratably on account of the relevant Obligations which were credit bid, interests, whether as equity, partnership interests, limited partnership interests or membership interests, in any such acquisition vehicle and/or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle, all without the need for any Credit Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (e) 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 Obligations credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Credit Parties pro rata with their original interest in such Obligations and the equity interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of such Obligations shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Credit Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action. Notwithstanding that the ratable portion of the Obligations of each Credit Party are deemed assigned to the acquisition vehicle or vehicles as set forth in clause (ii) above, each Credit Party shall execute such documents and provide such information regarding the Credit Party (and/or any designee of the Credit Party which will receive interests in or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle) as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in connection with the formation of any acquisition vehicle, the formulation or submission of any credit bid or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such credit bid.

Upon execution and delivery to the Administrative Agent of an Assignment and Assumption substantially in the form of Exhibit N hereto by the assignor and the assignee together with payment by such assignee to the Administrative Agent of a processing fee of $3,500, such assignee shall have, to the extent of such assignment (unless otherwise provided therein), the same rights and benefits as it would have if it were a Lender hereunder and the assignor shall be, to the extent of such assignment (unless otherwise provided therein), released from its obligations under this Agreement.

147

(c)            Each Lender may (without the consent of any other party to this Agreement) sell participations in all or any part of any Loan or Loans or any Commitment or Commitments made by it to another bank or other entity, in which event the participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement (except as provided in the next succeeding sentence hereof) (the participant’s rights against such Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such Lender in favor of the participant relating thereto, which agreement shall not give the participant the right to consent to any modification, amendment or waiver other than one described in clause (i), (ii), (vi) or (viii) of Section 12.05 hereof); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (C) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Each Borrower agrees that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 5.08, 6.01, 6.05, 6.06 and 6.08 of this Agreement (subject to the requirements and limitations herein, including the requirements under Sections 5.08(f) and (g) of this Agreement (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 5.08(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender and the information and documentation required under Section 5.08(g) will be delivered to the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 6.07 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 5.08, 6.01, 6.06 and 6.08 of this Agreement with respect to any participation than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Regulatory Change that occurs after the participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Company’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Company to effectuate the provisions of Section 6.07(b) with respect to any participant. To the extent permitted by law, each participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 12.19 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 5.07 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender may furnish any information concerning the Parent and its Subsidiaries in the possession of such Lender from time to time to assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and participants) which have agreed in writing to be bound by the provisions of Section 12.07 hereof or other provisions at least as restrictive as Section 12.07. The Administrative Agent and the Company may, for all purposes of this Agreement, treat any Lender as the holder of any Note drawn to its order (and owner of the Loans evidenced thereby) until written notice of assignment, participation or other transfer shall have been received by them from such Lender. No assignment may be made or participation sold to (x) the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries except as allowed by Section 2.11 or (y) a natural Person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned or operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person).

148

(d)            In addition to the assignments and participations permitted in the foregoing provisions of this Section 12.06, any Lender may (without notice to any of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any other Lender and without payment of any fee) assign and pledge all or any portion of its Loans and its Notes (i) to secure obligations of such Lender, including to any Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and any Operating Circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank or any other central bank, and (ii) with respect to any Lender which is a fund, to its trustee or creditors in support of its obligations to its trustee or creditors, and such Loans and Notes shall be fully transferable as provided therein. No such assignment pursuant to the preceding sentence shall release the assigning Lender from its obligations hereunder.

(e)            The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Company, shall maintain at one of its United States offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans and Letter of Credit Liabilities 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 Company, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank 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, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In addition, each Lender that sells a participation, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the applicable Borrower, shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under this Agreement) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender, the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.

Each Lender agrees to exercise all reasonable efforts to keep any information delivered or made available by or on behalf of the Parent to it which has not been publicly disclosed confidential from anyone other than persons employed or retained by such Xxxxxx who are or are expected to become engaged in evaluating, approving, structuring or administering the Loans; provided that nothing herein shall prevent any Lender from disclosing such information (i) to any other Lender, (ii) to the officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys and accountants of such Lender or its affiliates who have a need to know such information in accordance with customary banking practices and who receive such information having been made aware of the restrictions set forth in this Section, (iii) upon the order of any court or administrative agency (in which case such Person shall (a) to the extent practicable and permitted by law, rule or regulation, inform the Parent promptly in advance thereof and (b) to use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any such information so disclosed is accorded confidential treatment), (iv) upon the request or demand of any regulatory agency or authority having jurisdiction over such Lender (in which case such Person shall (a) to the extent practicable and permitted by law, rule or regulation and except with respect to any audit or examination conducted by bank accountants or any regulatory authority exercising examination or regulatory authority, inform the Parent promptly in advance thereof and (b) use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any such information so disclosed is accorded confidential treatment), (v) to the extent reasonably required in connection with any litigation or proceeding to which the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Borrower, any Subsidiary Guarantor or their respective affiliates may be a party (in which case such Person shall (a) to the extent permitted by law, inform the Parent promptly in advance thereof and (b) use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any such information so disclosed is accorded confidential treatment), (vi) to the extent reasonably required in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder, (vii) to such Xxxxxx’s legal counsel and independent auditors, (viii) to any actual or proposed participant or assignee of all or part of its rights hereunder which has agreed in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Section 12.07 or other provisions at least as restrictive as Section 12.07, (ix) to any direct or indirect contractual or proposed counterparty to any derivatives agreement (or any professional advisor to such counterparty) which has agreed in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Section 12.07 or other provisions at least as restrictive as Section 12.07, (x) to the extent such information becomes publicly available other than by reason of disclosure by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or their respective affiliates in breach of this Agreement and (xi) to any credit insurance broker or provider which has agreed in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Section 12.07 or other provisions at least as restrictive as Section 12.07. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of information as provided in this Section 12.07 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. For the avoidance of doubt, information relating to this Agreement routinely provided by arrangers to data service providers, including league table providers, that serve the lending interest shall be deemed not to be confidential.

(a)            Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) any Subsidiary Guarantor shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder and under the other Basic Documents (and its guarantees of the obligations hereunder and any Liens on its property constituting Collateral shall be automatically released) (i) upon the consummation of any permitted transaction or series of related transactions or the occurrence of any other permitted event or circumstance if as a result thereof such Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be a Subsidiary (included by merger or dissolution) or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary, (ii) upon the occurrence of the circumstances in clause (c) below and (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in accordance with Section 12.05 and (y) any Subsidiary Guarantor that qualifies as an “Excluded Subsidiary” shall be released from its obligations hereunder and under the other Basic Documents (and its guarantees of the obligations hereunder and any Liens on its property constituting Collateral shall be automatically released) by the Administrative Agent promptly following the request therefor by the Parent.

154

(b)            Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Lien on any asset or property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Basic Document shall be automatically released without the need for further action by any Person (i) upon the occurrence of the circumstances in clause (c) below, (ii) upon the sale or other transfer of such asset or property as part of or in connection with any disposition or Investment permitted under the Basic Documents to a Person that is not an Obligor, (iii) if such asset or property does not constitute (or ceases to constitute) Collateral, (iv) if the property subject to such Lien is owned by a Subsidiary Guarantor, upon the release of such Subsidiary Guarantor from its guarantee of the obligations hereunder in accordance with the Basic Documents, (v) as provided for in any other Basic Document or (vii) if approved, authorized or ratified in accordance with Section 12.05. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event that Accounts Receivable Assets become subject to an Accounts Receivable Financing, whether by transfer or conveyance or by placing a security interest, trust or other encumbrance required by an Accounts Receivable Financing with respect to such Accounts Receivable Assets, the Liens under the Basic Documents on such Accounts Receivable Assets (including proceeds thereof and any deposit accounts holding exclusively such proceeds), if any, shall be automatically released (or such Accounts Receivables Assets, proceeds or deposit accounts re-assigned).

(c)            At such time as the Loans, the Reimbursement Obligations and the other obligations under the Basic Documents (other than obligations under or in respect of Hedging Agreements) shall have been paid in full, the Revolving Commitments have been terminated and no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding, the Collateral shall be released from the Liens created by the Security Documents, and the Security Documents and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Administrative Agent and each Obligor under the Security Documents shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any Person.

(d)            The Administrative Agent shall, and is hereby irrevocably authorized by each Lender (without requirement of notice to or consent of any Lender except as expressly required by Section 12.05) to, promptly take any action and execute any documents requested by the Parent having the effect of releasing (or subordinating the liens on) or evidencing the release (or subordination of the liens on) any Collateral or guarantee obligations to the extent such release (or subordination) is permitted pursuant to any Basic Document (including pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) above).

12.18.            Amendment and Restatement.

(a)            The Obligors, the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereby agree that upon the A&R Closing Date, the terms and provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement shall be and hereby are amended and restated in their entirety by the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement (including, without limitation, paragraph (b) of this Section 12.18), shall be superseded by this Agreement.

155

(b)            Notwithstanding the amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement by this Agreement, the Obligors shall be liable in accordance with the terms and subject to the limitations set forth in the Existing Credit Agreement to each indemnitee under Section 12.04 of the Existing Credit Agreement with respect to agreements under the Existing Credit Agreement to indemnify and hold harmless such indemnitee from and against all losses, liabilities, claims, and damages to which such indemnitee may be subject arising in connection with the Existing Credit Agreement. This Agreement is given as a substitution of, and not as a payment of, the obligations of the Obligors under the Existing Credit Agreement and is not intended to constitute a novation of the Existing Credit Agreement.

(c)            By execution of this Agreement all parties hereto agree that on and after the A&R Closing Date (i) each relevant Basic Document is hereby amended such that all references to the Existing Credit Agreement and the Loans and Commitments thereunder shall be deemed to refer to this Agreement and the continuation of the Loans and Commitments hereunder, (ii) all obligations under the Parent Guaranty, the Company Guaranty, the Subsidiary Guaranty and the Security Documents are reaffirmed and remain in full force and effect on a continuous basis after giving effect to this Agreement, subject to any applicable limitations and conditions set forth therein, and (iii) all security interests and liens granted under the Security Documents and the other Basic Documents are reaffirmed and shall continue and secure the obligations hereunder and thereunder, and the obligations of the Obligors under the Parent Guaranty, the Company Guaranty, the Subsidiary Guaranty and the other Basic Documents after giving effect to this Agreement and the Parent Guaranty, the Company Guaranty and the Subsidiary Guaranty are reaffirmed subject to any applicable limitations and conditions set forth therein. After giving effect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, neither the modification of the Existing Credit Agreement effected pursuant to this amendment and restatement nor the execution, delivery, performance or effectiveness of this Agreement (i) impairs the validity, effectiveness or priority of the Liens granted pursuant to the Basic Documents, and such Liens continue unimpaired with the same priority to secure repayment of all obligations purported to be secured thereby, whether heretofore or hereafter incurred, or (ii) requires that any new filings be made or other actions taken to perfect or to maintain the perfection of such Lien.

12.19.            Right to Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, each Issuing Bank and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender, Issuing Bank or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower or other Obligor against any of and all the obligations of such Borrower or Obligor now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or other Basic Document held by such Lender, Issuing Bank or Affiliate, irrespective of whether or not such Lender, Issuing Bank or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender and Issuing Bank and Affiliate under this Section 12.19 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender, Issuing Bank and Affiliate may have.

12.20.            [Reserved].

12.21.            Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

156

12.22.           Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrowers is made to the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent, Canadian Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender and each Issuing Bank severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as applicable, upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

12.23.            Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Basic Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Basic Document may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a)            the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and

(b)            the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(i)              a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(ii)             a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent entity, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Basic Document; or

(iii)            the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.

157

12.24.            Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs.

To the extent that the Basic Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Hedging Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and, each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Basic Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Basic 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 Basic 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.

For purposes of this Section 12.24:

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

“Covered Entity” shall mean 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).

158

“Default Right” shall have 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” shall have 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).

12.25.            Existing Term B Loans.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (including any provision that purports to override or supersede any other provision in this Agreement), interest in respect of the Existing Term B Loans will continue to be calculated and accrue pursuant to the terms of the Existing Credit Agreement, and all terms in respect of interest, interest periods, notices, borrowings and related terms and provisions applicable to the Existing Term B Loans set forth in the Existing Credit Agreement shall continue to apply to the Existing Term B Loans, mutatis mutandis, unless and until this Agreement shall have been amended in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the interest rate applicable in respect of the Existing Term B Loans shall have been amended in accordance with the Existing Credit Agreement. The Administrative Agent and the Company may enter into an amendment or attach an annex to or otherwise modify this Agreement in order to effect the terms of the immediately preceding sentence without the consent of any Lender. It is understood and agreed that, in the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of this Section 12.25 and any other provision of this Agreement (including any other provision that purports to override or supersede any other provision of this Agreement), the provisions of this Section 12.25 shall govern and control.
