No Make-Whole Premium shall be required in connection with any mandatory prepayment under Section 2.02(b)(i) with respect to Dispositions permitted under Section 7.05. The Borrower and the Lenders (as opposed to the Administrative Agent) shall be responsible for calculating the Make-Whole Premium.
Β
Section 2.03 Repayment of Loans. The Borrower shall repay on the Maturity Date to the Administrative Agent (for the ratable account of the Lenders) the aggregate principal amount of all Loans, together with all accrued and capitalized interest (including interest paid in kind) and fees thereon (including the Make-Whole Premium, if any, and all other outstanding Obligations), outstanding on such date.
Β
Section 2.04 Interest. (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.06(b), each Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof at a rate per annum equal to
the Applicable Rate and the accrued interest shall be due and payable in cash on each Interest Payment Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the Borrowerβs election of the interest option set forth in clause (y) of the definition of βApplicable Rateβ, the portion of interest set forth in clause (ii) thereof in respect of the Loans shall be capitalized, compounded and added to the principal amount of the Loans outstanding on each Interest Payment Date (such capitalized interest, βPIK Interestβ); provided that PIK Interest shall be treated as Loans for purposes of this Agreement and shall bear interest in accordance with this Section 2.04. To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.04(a), the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election in writing by delivery to the Administrative Agent of an executed PIK Election Request at least five (5) Business Days prior to each Interest Payment Date indicating the amount of interest to be paid in kind and the amount of interest to be paid in cash in respect of the Loans on such Interest Payment Date.
Β
(b)Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Commencing (x) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default at the request of the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders), or automatically upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) or 8.01(f), the Borrower shall pay interest on (i) the principal amount of the Loans and (ii) to the extent then due and payable all other outstanding Obligations hereunder, in each case under clauses (i) and (ii), at an interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. Accrued interest at the Default Rate and all other accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws) shall be due and payable upon demand in cash.
Β
(c)Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto in accordance with Section 2.04(a) and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after any judgment.
Β
Section 2.05 Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, the fees set forth in the separate fee letter as between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.
Β
Section 2.06 Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a three hundred and sixty (360) day year and actual days elapsed. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which such Loan is made, and shall not accrue on such Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which such Loan or such portion is paid; provided that any such Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.08(a), bear interest for one (1) day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower or the Lenders, as applicable, of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
Β
Section 2.07 Evidence of Indebtedness, (a) The Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and evidenced by one or more entries in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Borrower, in each case in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be prima facie evidence absent manifest error of the amount of the Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments
thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender a Note payable to such Lender, which shall evidence such Lenderβs Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.
Β
(b)Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β In addition to the accounts and records referred to in Section 2.07(c), each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.
Β
(c)Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Entries made in good faith by the Administrative Agent in the Register pursuant to Section 2.07(a), and by each Lender in its account or accounts pursuant to Section 2.07(a), shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to, in the case of the Register, each Lender and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, absent manifest error; provided that the failure of the Administrative Agent or such Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Β
Section 2.08 Payments Generally. (a) All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agentβs Office and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York, New York time) on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lenderβs Applicable Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. (New York, New York time) shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.
Β
(b)Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.
Β
(c)Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions (if any) to the Loan set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance
with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.
Β
(d)Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make its Loan.
Β
(e)Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.
Β
(f)Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Whenever any payment received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents is insufficient to pay in full all amounts due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on any date, such payment shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent and applied by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the order of priority set forth in Section 8.03. If the Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the Obligations of the Loan Parties under or in respect of the Loan Documents under circumstances for which the Loan Documents do not specify the manner in which such funds are to be applied, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, elect to distribute such funds to each of the Lenders in accordance with such Lenderβs Pro Rata Share of the aggregate principal amount of all Loans outstanding at such time.
Β
Section 2.09 Sharing of Payments. If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 2.02(b)(vi) or in Section 10.07), any Lender shall obtain on account of the Loans made by it in excess of its ratable share (or other share contemplated hereunder subject to the priorities set forth herein) thereof, such Lender shall immediately (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact and (b) purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans made by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment in respect of such Loans pro rata with each of them; provided that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the purchasing Lender in its discretion), such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Lenderβs ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Lenderβs required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered, without further interest thereon. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff, but subject to Section 10.09) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section 2.09 and will in each case notify the Lenders following any such
purchases or repayments. Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this Section 2.09 shall from and after such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased.

Β
(c)Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Payment of Other Taxes by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall timely pay 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.

A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
Β
(e)Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 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 any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the
obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lenderβs failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.07(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.

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 Loan 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 (e).
Β

In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 3.01 (g)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lenderβs reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(h)Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.01 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) 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 any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

Β
(iii) Β Β Β Β Β Β Β impose on any Lender any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender;
Β

Β
(b)Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Capital Requirements. If any Lender reasonably determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lenderβs holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lenderβs capital or on the capital of such Lenderβs holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lenderβs holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lenderβs policies and the policies of such Lenderβs holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lenderβs holding company for any such reduction suffered.
Β
(c)Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

Β
PERSON. EACH LENDER AGREES TO COMPLY WITH APPLICABLE LAW AND ITS RESPECTIVE CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS WITH RESPECT TO CONFIDENTIAL AND MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION. Each Lender that is not a Public Lender confirms to the Administrative Agent that such Lender has adopted and will maintain internal policies and procedures reasonably designed to permit such Lender to take delivery of Restricting Information (as defined below) and maintain its compliance with applicable law and its respective contractual obligations with respect to confidential and material non-public information. A Public Lender may elect not to receive Communications and Information that contains material non-public information with respect to the Loan Parties or their securities (such Communications and Information, collectively, βRestricting Informationβ), in which case it will identify itself to the Administrative Agent as a Public Lender. Such Public Lender shall not take delivery of Restricting Information and shall not participate in conversations or other interactions with the Agent Parties, any Lender or any Loan Party in which Restricting Information may be discussed. No Agent Party, however, shall by making any Communications and Information (including Restricting Information) available to a Lender (including any Public Lender), by participating in any conversations or other interactions with a Lender (including any Public Lender) or otherwise, be responsible or liable in any way for any decision a Lender (including any Public Lender) may make to limit or to not limit its access to the Communications and Information. In particular, no Agent Party shall have, and the Administrative Agent, on behalf of all Agent Parties, hereby disclaims, any duty to ascertain or inquire as to whether or not a Lender (including any Public Lender) has elected to receive Restricting Information, such Lenderβs policies or procedures regarding the safeguarding of material nonpublic information or such Lenderβs compliance with applicable laws related thereto. Each Public Lender acknowledges that circumstances may arise that require it to refer to Communications and Information that might contain Restricting Information. Accordingly, each Public Lender agrees that it will nominate at least one designee to receive Communications and Information (including Restricting Information) on its behalf and identify such designee (including such designeeβs contact information) on such Public Lenderβs Administrative Questionnaire. Each Public Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent in writing from time to time of such Public Lenderβs designeeβs address to which notice of the availability of Restricting Information may be sent. Each Public Lender confirms to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that are not Public Lenders that such Public Lender Understands and agrees that the Administrative Agent and such other Lenders may have access to Restricting Information that is not available to such Public Lender and that such Public Lender has elected to make its decision to enter into this Agreement and to take or not take action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or related agreement knowing that, so long as such Person remains a Public Lender, it does not and will not be provided access to such Restricting Information. Nothing in this Section 10.02(i) shall modify or limit a Lenderβs (including any Public Lender) obligations under Section 10.08 with regard to Communications and Information and the maintenance of the confidentiality of or other treatment of Communications or Information.

For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 9.07 with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its Participant(s).
Β
Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any
Β
provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in Section 10.01(a) or Section 10.01(b) that directly and adversely affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01 and 3.02 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 3.01(g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.01(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.01 or 3.02, 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 Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrowerβs request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 3.04(b) with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.09 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.09 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participantβs interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the βParticipant Registerβ); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participantβs interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f. 103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
Β
(e)Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
Β
(f)Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β SPCs. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a βGranting Lenderβ) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (an βSPCβ) the option to provide all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Loan and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to make all or any part of such Loan, the Granting
Β
Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement (including its obligations under Section 3.01 or 3.02), (ii) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender would be liable and such liability shall remain with the Granting Lender, and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Loan Document, remain the lender of record hereunder. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without prior consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, assign all or any portion of its right to receive payment with respect to any Loan to the Granting Lender and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or Guarantee Obligation or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.
