(c) any financial ratio test or condition to such Acquisition or the incurrence of such Indebtedness, may upon the written election of the Borrower delivered to the Administrative Agent prior to the execution of the definitive agreement for such Acquisition, be tested either (i) upon the execution of the definitive agreement with respect to such Limited Condition Acquisition or (ii) upon the consummation of the Limited Condition Acquisition and related incurrence of Indebtedness, in each case, after giving effect to the relevant Limited Condition Acquisition and related incurrence of Indebtedness, on a pro forma basis; provided that the failure to deliver a notice under this Section 1.10(c) prior to the date of execution of the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Acquisition shall be deemed an election to test the applicable financial ratio under subclause (ii) of this Section 1.10(c); and

(d) if the Borrower has made an election with respect to any Limited Condition Acquisition to test a financial ratio test or condition at the time specified in clause (c)(i) of this Section, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio or basket during the period commencing on the relevant date of execution of the definitive agreement with respect to such Limited Condition Acquisition until the earlier of (i) the date on which such Limited Condition Acquisition is consummated or (ii) the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Acquisition is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition (such period, the “LCA Period”), any such ratio or basket shall be calculated during such LCA Period as follows:

(x) except for those calculations specifically described in clauses (y) and (z) below, on a pro forma basis assuming such Limited Condition Acquisition and other transactions in connection therewith (including the incurrence or assumption of Indebtedness) have been consummated;

(y) solely for purposes of determining whether the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may make a Restricted Payment or Investment during the LCA Period both (1) in accordance with clause (x) above and (2) assuming such Limited Condition Acquisition and other transactions in connection therewith (including the incurrence or assumption of Indebtedness) have not been consummated; and

(b) Notwithstanding any election to treat an Investment in an EAT Subsidiary as a Permitted Acquisition, if within the earlier of (i) 180 days and (ii) such shorter period as required by Applicable Law, including the Code (such earlier period, the “EAT Completion Period”) one of the following (each, an “EAT Completion Event”) has not occurred:

LIBOR Advances may be prepaid in full or ratably in part at any time without premium ~~(except as provided in clause (a)(ii) of this Section)~~ or penalty prior to the applicable Payment Date, upon three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice, or telephonic notice followed immediately by written notice, to the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that the Borrower shall reimburse the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, on the earlier of demand by the applicable Lender or the applicable Maturity Date, for any loss or reasonable out-of-pocket expense incurred by any Lender or the Administrative Agent in connection with such prepayment, as set forth in Section 2.9; provided further, however, that the Borrower’s failure to confirm any telephonic notice with a written notice shall not invalidate any notice so given if acted upon by the Administrative Agent. Term SOFR Advances may be prepaid in full or ratably in part at any time without premium or penalty prior to the applicable Payment Date, upon three (3) U.S. Government Securities Business Days’ prior written notice, or telephonic notice followed immediately by written notice, to the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that the Borrower shall reimburse the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, on the earlier of demand by the applicable Lender or the applicable Maturity Date, for any loss or reasonable out-of-pocket expense incurred by any Lender or the Administrative Agent in connection with such prepayment, as set forth in Section 2.9; provided further, however, that the Borrower’s failure to confirm any telephonic notice with a written notice shall not invalidate any notice so given if acted upon by the Administrative Agent. Any partial prepayment hereunder shall be in amounts of not less than $500,000 and in integral multiples of $250,000 (or, if less, the remaining outstanding principal amount thereof). Initial Revolving Loans, Additional Revolving Loans, Other Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans prepaid pursuant to this Section 2.6(a) may be reborrowed, subject to the terms and conditions hereof. Any Term ~~B-2 Loan, any Term~~ C Loan, any Term D Loan, any Term DE Loan, Incremental Term Loan or Other Term Loan, as applicable, prepaid pursuant to this Section 2.6(a) may not be reborrowed. Amounts prepaid shall be paid together with accrued interest on the amount so prepaid accrued through the date of such prepayment. Repayments under this Section 2.6(a) shall be applied to the remaining scheduled principal installments of the applicable Term Loans as the Borrower shall direct. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any notice of prepayment delivered in connection with any refinancing of all of the Loans with the proceeds of such refinancing or of any other incurrence of Indebtedness may be, if expressly so stated to be, contingent upon the consummation of such refinancing or incurrence and may be revoked by the Borrower in the event such refinancing is not consummated; provided that the delay or failure of such contingency shall not relieve the Borrower from its obligations in respect thereof under Section 2.9.

~~(ii)~~ In the event that, during the six month period following the Restatement Effective Date, the Borrower (A) makes any prepayment of the Term D Loan in connection with any Repricing Transaction (as defined below) or (B) effects any amendment of this Agreement resulting in a Repricing Transaction, the Borrower shall pay to ~~the Administrative Agent,~~ for the ratable account of each applicable Lender with the Term D Loan, a fee in an amount equal to, (1) in the case of clause (A), a prepayment premium of 1.0% of the amount of the Term D Loan being prepaid and (2) in the case of clause (B), a payment equal to 1.0% of the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Term D Loan outstanding immediately prior to such amendment. Such amounts shall be due and payable within three (3) Business Days of the date ~~of the effectiveness of~~ ~~such Repricing Transaction. For the purpose of this~~ ~~Section 2.6(a)(ii)~~, “~~Repricing Transaction~~” shall mean (x) any prepayment or repayment of the Term D Loan with the proceeds of, or any conversion of the Term D Loan into, any new or replacement Indebtedness with an “effective yield” that is less than the “effective yield” applicable to the Term D Loan (in each case with such comparative “effective yields” to be determined in the reasonable judgment of ~~the Administrative Agent~~ consistent with generally accepted financial practices taking into account, for example, upfront fees, interest rate margins, interest rate benchmark floors and original issue discount, but excluding the effect of any arrangement, structuring, commitment, syndication, underwriting or other fees payable in connection therewith that are not shared with all lenders or holders of the Term D Loan or such new or replacement Indebtedness, as the case may be) and (y) any amendment to the pricing terms of the Term D Loan which reduces the “~~effective yield~~” ~~(determined in accordance with clause (x) above) applicable to the Term D Loan.~~

(a) Extensions of Credit. The Loans made by each Lender and the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender or the Issuing Bank and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrower or the amounts of Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank for the account of 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 Loan Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender or the Issuing Bank 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 made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Revolving Loan Note, a Swingline Note or a Term Loan Note, as applicable, which shall evidence such Lender’s Initial Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans, Additional Revolving Loans, Other Revolving Loans, Other Term Loans, Term ~~B-2~~C Loans, Term CD Loans, Term DE Loans and/or applicable Incremental Term Loans, as applicable, in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Notes and endorse thereon the date, amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

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

Section 2.8 Manner of Payment.

(a) Each payment (including any prepayment) by the Borrower on account of the principal of or interest on the Loans, Revolving Commitment Fees and any other amount owed to the Lenders or the Administrative Agent or any of them under this Agreement or the Notes shall be made not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date specified for payment under this Agreement to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office, for the account of the Lenders entitled to such payment or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in Dollars in immediately available funds. Any payment received by the Administrative Agent after 1:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. Receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment intended for any Lender or Lenders hereunder prior to 1:00 p.m. on any Business Day shall be deemed to constitute receipt by such Lender or Lenders on such Business Day. In the case of a payment for the account of a Lender, the Administrative Agent will promptly, but no later than the close of business on the date such payment is deemed received, thereafter distribute the amount so received in like funds to such Lender. If the Administrative Agent shall not have received any payment from the Borrower as and when due, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders accordingly. In the event that the Administrative Agent shall fail to make distribution to any Lender as required under this Section 2.8, the Administrative Agent agrees to pay such Lender interest from the date such payment was due until paid at the Federal Funds Rate.

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay principal, interest, fees and all other amounts due hereunder or under the Notes without set-off or counterclaim or any deduction whatsoever.

(c) Subject to any contrary provisions in the definition of Interest Period, if any payment under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents is specified to be made on a day which is not a Business Day, it shall be made on the next Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in computing interest and fees, if any, in connection with such payment.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing clause (a), if there exists a Defaulting Lender each payment by the Borrower to such Defaulting Lender hereunder shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.16(a)(ii).

Section 2.9 Reimbursement.

(a) Whenever any Lender shall sustain or incur any losses or reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with (i) failure by the Borrower to borrow, Continue or Convert any LIBOR Advance or Term SOFR Advance after having given notice of its intention to borrow, Continue or Convert such Advance in accordance with Section 2.2 (whether by reason of the Borrower’s election not to proceed or the non-fulfillment of any of the conditions set forth in Article 3 or for any other reason other than the failure of such Lender to fund its portion of such Advance), or (ii) prepayment (or failure to prepay after giving notice thereof) of any LIBOR Advance or Term SOFR Advance in whole or in part for any reason, the Borrower agrees to pay to such Lender, upon the earlier of such Lender’s demand or the Maturity Date, an amount sufficient to compensate such Lender for all such losses and out-of-pocket expenses. Such Xxxxxx’s good faith determination of the amount of such losses or out-of-pocket expenses, as set forth in writing and accompanied by calculations in reasonable detail demonstrating the basis for its demand, shall be presumptively correct absent manifest error.

(b) Losses subject to reimbursement hereunder shall include, without limitation, expenses incurred by any Lender or any participant of such Xxxxxx permitted hereunder in connection with the re-employment of funds prepaid, paid, repaid, not borrowed, or not paid, as the case may be, and will be payable whether the Maturity Date is changed by virtue of an amendment hereto (unless such amendment expressly waives such payment) or as a result of acceleration of the Loan Obligations.

Section 2.10 Pro Rata Treatment.

(a) Advances. Each Advance under the Initial Revolving Loan Commitment from the Lenders hereunder made on or after the Restatement Effective Date, shall be made pro rata on the basis of the respective Initial Revolving Loan Commitment Ratios of the Lenders. On the Restatement Effective Date, each Advance from the Lenders under the Term D Loan shall be made pro rata on the basis of the respective Term D Loan Commitment Ratios of the Lenders.

(b) Payments. Except as provided in Section 2.17 or Section 11.5(g), each payment and prepayment of principal of the Loans, and, except as provided in each of Section 2.2(e) and Article 10, each payment of interest on the Loans, shall be made to the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their respective unpaid principal amounts outstanding immediately prior to such payment or prepayment.

(c) Adjustments. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Xxxxxx’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations (other than pursuant to Sections 2.9, 2.12, 5.11, 10.3 or 11.2) greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (i) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (ii) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them; provided that:

(i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and

(ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 2.17 or Section 11.5(g) hereof), (y) the application of Cash Collateral provided for in Sections 2.13(i) or 2.15 or (z) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply).

The Borrower and each Subsidiary consent to the foregoing and agree, to the extent they may effectively do so under Applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower and each Subsidiary rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower and each Subsidiary in the amount of such participation.

Section 2.11 Capital Adequacy. If any Lender or the Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or the Issuing Bank or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitment of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time upon written request of such Lender or the Issuing Bank the Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall only be obligated to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank for any amount under this Section arising or occurring during (i) in the case of each such request for compensation, any time or period commencing not more than ninety (90) days prior to the date on which such Lender or the Issuing Bank submits such request and (ii) any other time or period during which, because of the unannounced retroactive application of such law, regulation, interpretation, request or directive, such Lender or Issuing Bank could not reasonably have known that the resulting reduction in return might arise.

Section 2.12 Taxes.

(a) Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 2.12, the term “Lender” includes the Issuing Bank and the term “Applicable Law” includes FATCA.

(b) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that, after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(c) Payments of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower 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.

(d) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, within ten (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) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Recipient (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Recipient, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Xxxxxx’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.5(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent 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).

(f) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.12, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent 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.

(g) Status of Lenders.

(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the 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 2.12(g)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person:

(A) Any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from United States federal backup withholding tax;

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(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 Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or 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 Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or 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;

(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit K-2 or Exhibit K-3, IRS 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 K-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to 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 Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Xxxxxx’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.

(h) 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 2.12 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.12), 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.

(i) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.12 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

Section 2.13 Letters of Credit.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Issuing Bank, on behalf of the Lenders, and in reliance on the agreements of the Lenders set forth in Section 2.13(d), hereby agrees to issue one or more Letters of Credit in an aggregate face amount not to exceed the Available Letter of Credit Commitment determined immediately prior to giving effect to the issuance thereof; provided, however, that the Issuing Bank shall not issue any Letter of Credit unless the conditions precedent to the issuance thereof set forth in Section 3.2 have been satisfied, and shall have no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if any Default then exists or would be caused thereby or if, after giving effect to such issuance, the Available Revolving Loan Commitment or the Available Letter of Credit Commitment would be less than zero. Each Letter of Credit shall (i) be denominated in Dollars, and (ii) expire no later than the earlier to occur of (A) the fifth (5^th) Business Day prior to the Initial Revolving-2 Loan Maturity Date or (B) one (1) year after its date of issuance (but may contain provisions for automatic renewal; provided that no Default or Event of Default exists on the renewal date or would be caused by such renewal); provided that any Letter of Credit may expire after such date (each such Letter of Credit, an “Extended Letter of Credit”) with the consent of the applicable Issuing Bank and subject to the requirements of Section 2.13(i). Each Letter of Credit shall be subject to the International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 500 and, to the extent not inconsistent therewith, the laws of the State of New York. The Issuing Bank shall not at any time be obligated to issue, or cause to be issued, any Letter of Credit if such issuance would conflict with, or cause the Issuing Bank to exceed any limits imposed by, any Applicable Law.

(b) The Borrower may from time to time request the issuance of, and be provided with by the Issuing Bank, Letters of Credit. The Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank a Request for Issuance of Letter of Credit for each Letter of Credit to be issued by the Issuing Bank, not later than 12:00 noon on the fifth (5th) Business Day preceding the date on which the requested Letter of Credit is to be issued, or such shorter notice as may be acceptable to the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent. Upon receipt of any such Request for Issuance of Letter of Credit, subject to satisfaction of all conditions precedent thereto as set forth in Section 3.2, the Issuing Bank shall process such Request for Issuance of Letter of Credit and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall promptly issue the Letter of Credit requested thereby. The Issuing Bank shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent following the issuance thereof. The Borrower shall pay or reimburse the Issuing Bank for normal and customary costs and expenses incurred by the Issuing Bank in issuing, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering the Letters of Credit.

(c) At such time as the Administrative Agent shall be notified by the Issuing Bank that the beneficiary under any Letter of Credit has drawn on the same, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and each Lender with an Initial Revolving Loan Commitment, by telephone or telecopy, of the amount of the draw and, in the case of each Lender with an Initial Revolving Loan Commitment, such Xxxxxx’s portion of such draw amount as calculated in accordance with its Initial Revolving Loan Commitment Ratio.

(d) The Borrower hereby agrees to immediately reimburse the Issuing Bank for amounts paid by the Issuing Bank in respect of draws under a Letter of Credit issued at the Borrower’s request. In order to facilitate such repayment, the Borrower hereby irrevocably requests the Lenders having an Initial Revolving Loan Commitment, and such Lenders hereby severally agree, on the terms and conditions of this Agreement (other than as provided in Article 2 with respect to the amounts of, the timing of requests for, and the repayment of Advances hereunder and in Section 3.2 with respect to conditions precedent to Advances hereunder), with respect to any drawing under a Letter of Credit prior to the occurrence of an event described in Sections 8.1(g) or (h), to make an Advance (which Advance may be a ~~LIBOR~~Term SOFR Advance if the Borrower so requests in a timely manner or may be Converted to a ~~LIBOR~~Term SOFR Advance as provided in this Agreement) to the Borrower on each day on which a draw is made under any Letter of Credit and in the amount of such draw, and to pay the proceeds of such Advance directly to the Issuing Bank to reimburse the Issuing Bank for the amount paid by it upon such draw. Each Lender having an Initial Revolving Loan Commitment shall pay its share of such Advance by paying its portion of such Advance to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Article 2 and its Initial Revolving Loan Commitment Ratio, without reduction for any set-off or counterclaim of any nature whatsoever and regardless of whether any Default or Event of Default (other than with respect to an event described in Sections 8.1(g) or (h)) then exists or would be caused thereby. If at any time that any Letters of Credit are outstanding, any of the events described in Sections 8.1(g) or (h) shall have occurred and be continuing, then each Lender having an Initial Revolving Loan Commitment shall, automatically upon the occurrence of any such event and without any action on the part of the Issuing Bank, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, be deemed to have purchased an undivided participation in the face amount of all Letters of Credit then outstanding in an amount equal to such Lender’s Initial Revolving Loan Commitment Ratio of such Letters of Credit, and each Lender having an Initial Revolving Loan Commitment shall, notwithstanding such Default or Event of Default, upon a drawing under any Letter of Credit, immediately pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank, in immediately available funds, the amount of such Xxxxxx’s participation in such drawn amount (and the Issuing Bank shall deliver to such Lender a loan participation certificate dated the date of the occurrence of such event and in the amount of such Lender’s Initial Revolving Loan Commitment Ratio). The disbursement of funds in connection with a draw under a Letter of Credit pursuant to this Section 2.13(d) shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Article 2. The obligation of each Lender having an Initial Revolving Loan Commitment to make payments to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, in accordance with this Section 2.13 shall be absolute and unconditional and no such Lender shall be relieved of its obligations to make such payments by reason of noncompliance by any other Person with the terms of the Letter of Credit or for any other reason. The Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Issuing Bank the amounts so received from the other Lenders. Any overdue amounts payable by the Lenders having an Initial Revolving Loan Commitment to the Issuing Bank in respect of a draw under any Letter of Credit shall bear interest, payable on demand, at the Federal Funds Rate.

(e) The Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Issuing Bank in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for such actions or omissions as shall constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank, shall be binding on the Borrower as between the Borrower and the Issuing Bank, and shall not result in any liability of the Issuing Bank to the Borrower. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the Lenders for Advances made to reimburse the Issuing Bank for draws under the Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances whatsoever, including, without limitation, the following circumstances:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document;

(ii) any amendment or waiver of or consent to any departure from any or all of the Loan Documents;

(iii) any improper use which may be made of any Letter of Credit or any improper acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit in connection therewith;

(iv) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or any right which the Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or Persons for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting) or any Lender (other than the defense of payment to such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) or any other Person, whether in connection with any Letter of Credit, any transaction contemplated by any Letter of Credit, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any unrelated transaction;

(v) any statement or any other documents presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be insufficient, forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever;

(vi) the insolvency of any Person issuing any documents in connection with any Letter of Credit;

(vii) any breach of any agreement between the Borrower and any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit, provided that the same shall not have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank;

(viii) any irregularity in the transaction with respect to which any Letter of Credit is issued, including, without limitation, any fraud by the beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, provided that the same shall not be the result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank;

(ix) any errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, wireless or otherwise, whether or not they are in code, provided that the same shall not be the result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank;

(x) any act, error, neglect, default, omission, insolvency or failure of business of any of the correspondents of the Issuing Bank, provided that the same shall not have constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank;

(xi) any other circumstances arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank;

(xii) payment by the Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a sight draft or a certificate which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, provided that such payment shall not have constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank; and

(xiii) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, provided that such other circumstances or happenings shall not have been the result of gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank.

(f) Each Lender having an Initial Revolving Loan Commitment shall be responsible for its pro rata share (based on such Lender’s Initial Revolving Loan Commitment Ratio) of any and all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees) and disbursements which may be incurred or made by the Issuing Bank in connection with the collection of any amounts due under, the administration of, or the presentation or enforcement of any rights conferred by any Letter of Credit, the Borrower’s or any guarantor’s obligations to reimburse or otherwise. In the event the Borrower shall fail to pay such expenses of the Issuing Bank within ten (10) days after demand for payment by the Issuing Bank, each Lender having an Initial Revolving Loan Commitment shall thereupon pay to the Issuing Bank its pro rata share (based on such Lender’s Initial Revolving Loan Commitment Ratio) of such expenses within five (5) days from the date of the Issuing Bank’s notice to the Lenders having an Initial Revolving Loan Commitment of the Borrower’s failure to pay; provided, however, that if the Borrower or any guarantor shall thereafter pay such expense, the Issuing Bank will repay to each Lender having an Initial Revolving Loan Commitment Ratio the amounts received from such Lender hereunder.

(g) The Borrower agrees that each Advance by the Lenders having an Initial Revolving Loan Commitment to reimburse the Issuing Bank for draws under any Letter of Credit, shall, for all purposes hereunder, be deemed to be an Advance under the Initial Revolving Loan Commitment to the Borrower and shall be payable and bear interest in accordance with all other Initial Revolving Loans to the Borrower.

If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender as herein provided (other than Liens referred to in clause (a) of the definition of Permitted Liens), or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, the Borrower will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

(b) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 2.15 or Section 2.16 in respect of Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of Letter of Credit Obligations and Swingline Loans (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

(c) Termination of Requirement. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce the Fronting Exposure of the Issuing Bank and/or the Swingline Lender, as applicable, shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.15 following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (ii) the determination by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that, subject to Section 2.16, the Person providing Cash Collateral, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender may agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations; and provided further that to the extent that such Cash Collateral was provided by the Borrower, such Cash Collateral shall remain subject to the security interest granted pursuant to the Loan Documents.

Section 2.16 Defaulting Lenders.

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

(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders, Required Revolving Lenders, Required Initial Revolving Lenders, Required Additional Revolving Lenders and Section 11.12.

(ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. 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 Article 8 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.4 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 the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the Fronting Exposure of the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.15; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan or funded participation 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 Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (A) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans and funded participations under this Agreement and (B) Cash Collateralize the Issuing Bank’s future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.15; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender 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 Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the 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 (1) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or funded participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (2) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 3.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and funded participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or funded participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letter of Credit Obligations and Swingline Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Initial Revolving Loan Commitments without giving effect to Section 2.16(a)(iv). 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 2.16(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees.

(A) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Revolving Commitment Fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

(B) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive letter of credit commissions pursuant to Section 2.4(b) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Initial Revolving Loan Commitment Ratio of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.15.

(C) With respect to any Revolving Commitment Fee or letter of credit commission not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above, the Borrower shall (1) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Obligations or Swingline Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (2) pay to the Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to the Issuing Bank’s or Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (3) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

(iv) Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Obligations and Swingline Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Initial Revolving Loan Commitment Ratios (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Initial Revolving Loan Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Section 3.2 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrower shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate principal amount at such time of any Non-Defaulting Lender’s outstanding Initial Revolving Loans and such Non-Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Obligations and Swingline Loans at such time to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Initial Revolving Loan Commitment. Subject to Section 11.26, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Xxxxxx having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Xxxxxx’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(v) Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swingline Loans. If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, (x) first, prepay Swingline Loans in an amount equal to the Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure and (y) second, Cash Collateralize the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.15.

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments (without giving effect to Section 2.16(a)(iv)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Xxxxxx was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Xxxxxx’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(b) The Borrower must terminate an Auction if it fails to satisfy one or more of the conditions set forth above which are required to be met at the time which otherwise would have been the time of prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to the respective Auction. If the Borrower commences any Auction (and all relevant requirements set forth above which are required to be satisfied at the time of the commencement of the respective Auction have in fact been satisfied), and if at such time of commencement the Borrower reasonably believes that all required conditions set forth above which are required to be satisfied at the time of the prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to such Auction shall be satisfied, then the Borrower shall have no liability to any Lender for any termination of the respective Auction as a result of its failure to satisfy one or more of the conditions set forth above which are required to be met at the time which otherwise would have been the time of prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to the respective Auction, and any such failure shall not result in any Default hereunder. With respect to all prepayments of Term Loans made by the Borrower pursuant to this Section, (i) the Borrower shall pay on the settlement date of each such prepayment all accrued and unpaid interest and fees (except to the extent otherwise set forth in the relevant offering documents), if any, on the prepaid Term Loans up to the settlement date of such prepayment and (ii) such prepayments shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 2.6.

Each Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower is a Person duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its incorporation, organization or formation and has the power and authority to own its properties and to carry on its business as now being and as proposed hereafter to be conducted. The Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries are duly qualified, in good standing and authorized to do business in each jurisdiction in which the character of their respective properties or the nature of their respective businesses requires such qualification or authorization, except where failure to be so qualified, in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Materially Adverse Effect.

(b) Borrower: Authorization; Enforceability. The Borrower has the corporate power and has taken all necessary corporate action to authorize it to borrow hereunder, and the Borrower has the corporate power and has taken all necessary corporate action to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents to which it is a party in accordance with their respective terms, and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. This Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents to which the Borrower is a party have been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower and is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower, enforceable against the Borrower, in accordance with its terms, subject, as to enforcement of remedies, to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (the “Bankruptcy Exception”).

(c) Subsidiaries: Authorization; Enforceability. The Borrower’s Subsidiaries, and the Borrower’s direct and indirect ownership thereof, in each case as of the Restatement Effective Date, are as set forth on Schedule 4 attached hereto, and the Borrower, directly or indirectly, has the unrestricted right to vote the issued and outstanding Capital Stock of the Subsidiaries shown thereon; such Capital Stock of such Subsidiaries has been duly authorized and issued and is fully paid and nonassessable. Each Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower has the power and has taken all necessary action to authorize it to execute, deliver and perform each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party in accordance with their respective terms and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and by such Loan Documents. Each of the Loan Documents to which any Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower is a party has been duly executed and delivered by such Restricted Subsidiary and is a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Restricted Subsidiary enforceable against such Restricted Subsidiary in accordance with its terms, subject, as to enforcement of remedies, to the Bankruptcy Exception. The Borrower’s Capital Stock in each of its Restricted Subsidiaries represents a direct or indirect controlling interest of such Restricted Subsidiary for purposes of directing or causing the direction of the management and policies of each Restricted Subsidiary.

(d) Compliance with Other Loan Documents and Contemplated Transactions. The execution, delivery and performance, in accordance with their respective terms, by the Borrower of this Agreement and by the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries of each of the other Loan Documents, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, do not and will not (i) require any consent or approval, governmental or otherwise, not already obtained, (ii) violate any Communications Laws or any other material Applicable Law respecting the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, (iii) conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute a default under the certificate or articles of incorporation or by-laws or partnership agreements or operating agreements or trust agreements (or the equivalents thereof), as the case may be, as amended, of the Borrower or of any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, (iv) conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute a default under any Operating Agreement, or any other indenture, agreement, or other instrument, to which the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is a party or by which any of them or their respective properties may be bound which could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Materially Adverse Effect, or (v) result in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien upon or with respect to any property now owned or hereafter acquired by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, except for Permitted Liens.

(e) Business. The Borrower, together with its Restricted Subsidiaries, is engaged only in the Permitted Businesses.

(f) Licenses; Operating Agreements.

(i) Each of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries has all requisite power and authority, material Operating Agreements and Licenses to own and operate its properties and to carry on its businesses as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted (it being recognized that certain Stations may, from time to time, operate pursuant to Special Temporary Authority granted by the FCC or may have pending FCC License renewal applications and, as a result, may be operating under such FCC Licenses pursuant to provisions of the Communications Laws that keep such FCC Licenses in effect until the FCC has taken final action on such renewal applications). Schedule 2 correctly identifies (A) the call letters and designated market area of each full power Station, (B) all of the network affiliation agreements for the primary channel of such Station, (C) the FCC Licenses of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries with respect to such full power Stations and (D) the termination date, if any, of each such network affiliation agreement and FCC License. To the extent requested by the Administrative Agent, a true, correct and complete copy of each material Operating Agreement and License set forth in Schedule 2 has been made available to the Administrative Agent. Each material Operating Agreement and License was duly and validly issued pursuant to procedures which comply in all material respects with all requirements of Applicable Law. As of the Restatement Effective Date and at all times thereafter, the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries have the right to use all material Licenses required in the ordinary course of business for all Stations and any Permitted Business, and each such License is in full force and effect (it being recognized that certain Stations may, from time to time, operate pursuant to Special Temporary Authority granted by the FCC or may have pending FCC License renewal applications and, as a result, may be operating under such FCC Licenses pursuant to provisions of the Communications Laws that keep such FCC License in effect until the FCC has taken final action on such renewal applications). Each of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries has taken all material actions and performed all of its material obligations that are necessary to maintain all material Licenses without adverse modification or impairment. Except as shown on Schedule 2, no event has occurred which (1) has resulted in, or after notice or lapse of time or both would reasonably be expected to result in, revocation, suspension, adverse modification, non-renewal, impairment, restriction or termination of or any order of forfeiture with respect to, any material License or (2) materially and adversely affects or could reasonably be expected in the future to materially and adversely affect the rights of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries thereunder. Except as set forth on Schedule 2, each FCC License is held by a License Sub. Except as set forth in Schedule 2, none of the FCC Licenses requires that any present stockholder, director, officer or employee of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries remain a stockholder or employee of such Person, or that any transfer of control of such Person must be approved by any public or governmental body other than the FCC.

(ii) Except as shown on Schedule 2 and excluding any customary applications filed with the FCC seeking the renewal of a FCC License for so long as no Person has filed with the FCC a Petition to Deny such application, neither the Borrower nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is a party to or has knowledge of any investigation, notice of apparent liability, violation, forfeiture or other order or complaint issued by or before any court or regulatory body, including the FCC, or of any other proceedings (other than proceedings relating to the radio or television industries generally) which could in any manner materially threaten or adversely affect the validity or continued effectiveness of the material Licenses of any such Person. Except as shown on Schedule 2, neither the Borrower nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries has any reason to believe that any material Licenses listed and described in Schedule 2 will not be renewed in the ordinary course. Each of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, as applicable, (a) has duly filed in a timely manner all material filings, reports, applications, documents, instruments and information required to be filed by it under the Communication Act or pursuant to FCC Regulations or requests of any regulatory body having jurisdiction over any of its Licenses, (b) has submitted to the FCC on a timely basis all required equal employment opportunity reports, and (c) is in compliance with the Communications Laws, including all FCC Regulations relating to the broadcast of television signals, all FCC Regulations concerning the limits on the duration of advertising in children’s programming and the record keeping obligations relating to such advertising, the Children’s Television Act and all FCC Regulations promulgated thereunder and all equal employment opportunity-related FCC Regulations, except where the failure to be in compliance could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Materially Adverse Effect. The Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries maintain appropriate public files at the Stations and at any other Permitted Business in a manner that complies in all material respects with all FCC Regulations.

(iii) The Ownership Reports filed by the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries with the FCC are true, correct and complete in all material respects and there have been no material changes in the ownership of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower since the filing of such Ownership Reports other than as described in information filed with the FCC.

Each of the representations and warranties made in this Section 4.1(f) or in any other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that is qualified by reference to Schedule 2 shall be made as of the most recent date on which such schedule (or a restatement thereof) was delivered hereunder.

(g) Compliance with Law. The Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries are in compliance with all Applicable Law, except where the failure to be in compliance would not individually or in the aggregate have a Materially Adverse Effect.

(h) Title to Assets. The Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries have good, legal and marketable title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all of their respective material assets. None of the properties or assets of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is subject to any Liens, except for Permitted Liens. Except for financing statements evidencing Permitted Liens, neither the Borrower nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries has authorized the filing of any financing statement under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in any jurisdiction or any other filing which names the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as debtor or which covers or purports to cover any of the assets of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or signed any security agreement (or similar agreement or instrument) authorizing any secured party thereunder to file any such financing statement or filing.

(i) Litigation. Except as set forth on Schedule 3 hereto, there is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending against, or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, overtly threatened against or in any other manner relating adversely to, the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties, including, without limitation, the Licenses, in any court or before any arbitrator of any kind or before or by any governmental body which could reasonably be expected to have a Materially Adverse Effect. No action, suit, proceeding or investigation (i) calls into question the validity of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or (ii) individually or collectively involves the possibility of any judgment or liability not fully covered by insurance which would reasonably be expected to have a Materially Adverse Effect.

(j) Taxes. All federal, state and other material tax returns of the Borrower, each of its Restricted Subsidiaries required by law to be filed have been duly filed and all federal, state and other taxes, including, without limitation, withholding taxes, assessments and other governmental charges or levies required to be paid by the Borrower or by any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or imposed upon the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties, income, profits or assets, which are due and payable, have been paid, except any such taxes (i) (A) the payment of which the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is diligently contesting in good faith by appropriate proceedings, (B) for which adequate reserves have been provided on the books of the Borrower or the Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower involved, and (C) as to which no Lien other than a Permitted Lien has attached and no foreclosure, distraint, sale or similar proceedings have been commenced, or (ii) which may result from audits not yet conducted. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Borrower and each of its Restricted Subsidiaries in respect of taxes are, in the reasonable judgment of the Borrower, adequate.

(k) Financial Statements; Projections.

(i) The Borrower has furnished or caused to be furnished to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders a Form 10-K for the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 and a Form 10-Q for the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2021 which, together with other financial statements furnished to the Lenders subsequent to the Restatement Effective Date have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and present fairly in all material respects the financial position of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis on and as at such dates and the results of operations for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited financial statements, to normal year-end and audit adjustments).

(ii) The Borrower has delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders projections for fiscal years 2022 through 2027. Such projections were prepared by the Borrower in good faith on the basis of assumptions the Borrower believes were reasonable in light of the conditions existing at the time of preparation thereof and remain reasonable as of the Restatement Effective Date, and as of the Restatement Effective Date there are no facts which are known to the Borrower which the Borrower believes would cause a material adverse change in such projections. It is acknowledged and understood that the projections as they relate to future events are not to be viewed as representations and warranties that such events will occur and actual results may differ significantly and materially from the projected results.

(l) No Material Adverse Change. There has occurred no event since December 31, 2020 which has or which could reasonably be expected to have a Materially Adverse Effect.

(m) ERISA. The Borrower and each of its Restricted Subsidiaries and each of their respective Plans are in material compliance with ERISA and the Code, and neither the Borrower nor any of its ERISA Affiliates, including its Restricted Subsidiaries, has incurred any material accumulated funding deficiency with respect to any such Plan within the meaning of Section 302(a) of ERISA or Section 412(a) of the Code. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries has made any promises of retirement or other benefits to employees, except as set forth in the Plans, in written agreements with such employees, or in the Borrower’s employee handbook and memoranda to employees, in each case other than any such promises required or reasonably necessary to transition employees acquired in connection with an Acquisition permitted hereunder. Neither the Borrower nor any of its ERISA Affiliates, including its Restricted Subsidiaries, has incurred any material liability to PBGC (other than premium payments) in connection with any such Plan. Except as set forth in the Borrower’s annual report on Form 10-K for fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, the present value of all “benefit liabilities” (within the meaning of Section 4001(a)(16) of ERISA) based on the actuarial assumptions used for accounting purposes specified in FASB ASC 715 using the methodology under FASB ASC 715 to calculate the accumulated benefit obligation, did not exceed as of the most recent ~~Pension~~ Plan actuarial valuation date the then current fair market value of the assets of such ~~Pension~~ Plan. No Reportable Event has occurred and is continuing with respect to any such Plan. No such Plan or trust created thereunder, or party in interest (as defined in Section 3(14) of ERISA), or any fiduciary (as defined in Section 3(21) of ERISA), has engaged in a “prohibited transaction” (as such term is defined in Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) which would subject such Plan or any other Plan of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, any trust created thereunder, or any such party in interest or fiduciary, or any party dealing with any such Plan or any such trust, to a material tax or penalty on “prohibited transactions” imposed by Section 502 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code. Neither the Borrower nor any of its ERISA Affiliates, including its Restricted Subsidiaries, is or has been obligated to make any payment to a Multiemployer Plan. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is or will be using “plan assets” (within the meaning of 29 CFR § 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA) of one or more Benefit Plans in connection with the Loans, the Letters of Credit or the Commitments.

100

(n) Compliance with Regulations T, U and X. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is engaged principally or as one of its important activities in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying, and neither the Borrower nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries owns or presently intends to acquire, any “margin security” or “margin stock” (the “Margin Stock”) as defined in Regulations T, U, and X (12 C.F.R. Parts 220, 221 and 224) of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Fed Regulations”) which would result in any violation of the Fed Regulations. None of the proceeds of the Loans will be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock or for the purpose of reducing or retiring any Indebtedness which was originally incurred to purchase or carry Margin Stock or for any other purpose which might constitute this transaction a “purpose credit” within the meaning of said Regulations, in each case which would result in any violation of the Fed Regulations. The Borrower has not taken, caused or authorized to be taken, and will not take any action which might cause this Agreement to violate any Fed Regulation or any other regulation of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or to violate the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, in each case as now in effect or as the same may hereafter be in effect. If so requested by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower will furnish the Administrative Agent with (i) a statement or statements in conformity with the requirements of the applicable Federal Reserve Forms referred to in Regulation U of said Board of Governors and (ii) other documents evidencing its compliance with the margin regulations, reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent. Neither the making of the Loans nor the use of proceeds thereof will violate, or be inconsistent with, the provisions of any Fed Regulation. Following the application of the proceeds of each Loan and Letter of Credit, not more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the value of the assets (either of the Borrower only or of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis) subject to the provisions of Section 7.2 or Section 7.4 or subject to any similar restriction contained in any agreement or instrument between the Borrower and any Lender or any Affiliate of any Lender relating to Indebtedness subject to Section 8.1(k) will be “Margin Stock”.

(o) Investment Company Act. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is required to register under the provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and neither the entering into or performance by the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries of this Agreement and the Loan Documents violates any provision of such Act or requires any consent, approval or authorization of, or registration with, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission or any other governmental or public body or authority pursuant to any provisions of such Act.

(p) Governmental Regulation. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is required to obtain any consent, approval, authorization, permit or license which has not already been obtained from, or effect any filing or registration which has not already been effected with, any federal, state or local regulatory authority in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, any other Loan Document, except for (i) the filing with the FCC of a copy of this Agreement as required by Section 73.3613 of the FCC’s regulations and (ii) the filing of appropriate Uniform Commercial Code financing statements.

(q) Absence of Default, Etc. The Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries are in compliance in all material respects with all of the provisions of their respective partnership agreements, operating agreements, certificates or articles of incorporation and by-laws (or the equivalents thereof), as the case may be, and no event has occurred or failed to occur (including, without limitation, any matter which could create a Default hereunder by cross default) which has not been remedied or waived, the occurrence or non-occurrence of which constitutes, (i) a Default or (ii) a material default by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries under any indenture, agreement or other instrument relating to Indebtedness of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the amount of $80,000,000 or more in the aggregate, any material license, or any judgment, decree or order to which the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties may be bound or affected.

Any projections and pro forma financial information contained in such materials are based upon good faith estimates and assumptions believed by the Borrower to be reasonable and attainable at the time made, it being recognized by the Lenders that such projections as to future events are not to be viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by any such projections may materially differ from the projected results.

The Liens created by the Security Documents are enforceable as security for the Obligations in accordance with their terms with respect to the Collateral subject, as to enforcement of remedies, to the following qualifications: (i) an order of specific performance and an injunction are discretionary remedies and, in particular, may not be available where damages are considered an adequate remedy at law, and (ii) enforcement may be limited by the Bankruptcy Exception (insofar as it relates to the bankruptcy, insolvency or similar event of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be).

Amounts held in such Cash Collateral account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to the payment of drafts drawn under such Letters of Credit, and the unused portion thereof after all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, if any, shall be applied to repay the other Loan Obligations as set forth in Section 8.3. After all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, the Letter of Credit Obligations shall have been satisfied and all other Loan Obligations shall have been paid in full, the balance, if any, in such Cash Collateral account shall be returned to the Borrower.

132

(c) Upon acceleration of the Loan Obligations, as provided in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 8.2, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have all of the post-default rights granted to them, or any of them, as applicable under the Loan Documents and under Applicable Law.

133

first, to the payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting indemnities, fees, costs and expenses payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such, including any reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the collection of such payment, including, without limitation, any reasonable costs incurred by it in connection with the sale or disposition of any Collateral for the Obligations and all amounts under Section 5.11 and Section 11.2 (irrespective of whether a claim for such indemnitees, fees, costs and expenses is allowed or allowable in any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise);

second, to the payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting indemnities, fees, costs and expenses payable to the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender (other than Revolving Commitment Fees and letter of credit commissions payable under Section 2.4(b)), including any attorney fees and reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the collection of such payment, including, without limitation, any reasonable costs incurred by it in connection with the sale or disposition of any Collateral for the Obligations and all amounts under Section 5.11 and Section 11.2 (irrespective of whether a claim for such indemnitees, fees, costs and expenses is allowed or allowable in any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise), ratably among the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender in proportion to the amounts described in this clause second payable to them;

fourth, to the payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting (i) the principal and other payment obligations then due and payable on the Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations then outstanding, (ii) breakage, termination or other payments then owing under Secured Hedge Agreements and (iii) payment obligations under Secured Cash Management Agreements, until all such obligations have been paid in full (irrespective of whether a claim for such amounts is allowed or allowable in any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise) ratably among the Lenders, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender and the other Secured Parties in proportion to the amounts described in this clause fourth payable to them;

(b) If any Secured Party collects or received any amounts received on account of the Obligations to which it is not entitled under this Section 8.3, such Secured Party shall hold the same in trust for the Secured Parties and shall forthwith deliver the same to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Secured Parties, to be applied in accordance with this Section 8.3.

(c) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Section 8.3 is intended to constitute and shall be deemed to constitute a “subordination agreement” within the meaning of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States and is intended to be and shall be interpreted to be enforceable to the maximum extent permitted pursuant to applicable non-bankruptcy law.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Obligations arising under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements shall be excluded from the application described above if the Administrative Agent has not received written notice thereof, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank, as the case may be. Each Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank not a party to this Agreement that has given the notice contemplated by the preceding sentence shall, by such notice, be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of Article 9 for itself and its Affiliates as if a “Lender” party hereto.

134

Section 8.4 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or Letter of Credit Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, Letter of Credit Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.4, 5.11, 9.9 and 11.2) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.4, 5.11, 9.9 and 11.2. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

Section 8.5 Credit Bidding.

(a) The Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the Secured Parties, shall, upon the direction of the Required Lenders, have the right to credit bid and purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition entities) for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties all or any portion of Collateral (i) at any sale thereof conducted by the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders under the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code, including pursuant to Sections 9-610 or 9-620 of the Uniform Commercial Code, (ii) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code, including Section 363 thereof or a sale under a confirmed plan of reorganization, or (iii) at any other sale or foreclosure conducted by the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with Applicable Law. In connection with any such credit bid, the Obligations shall be credit bid on a ratable basis with Obligations in respect of contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interest in the acquired assets (or Capital Stock of any acquisition entity used in connection with such acquisition) that would vest upon the liquidation of such claims. Such credit bid or purchase may be completed through one or more acquisition vehicles formed by the Administrative Agent to make such credit bid or purchase and, in connection therewith, the Administrative Agent is authorized, on behalf of itself and the other Secured Parties, to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles, and assign the applicable Obligations to any such acquisition vehicle in exchange for Capital Stock and/or debt issued by the applicable acquisition vehicle (which shall be deemed to be held for the ratable account of the applicable Secured Parties on the basis of the Obligations so assigned by each Secured Party); provided that any actions by the Administrative Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle, including the disposition of assets and Capital Stock thereof shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by the vote of the Required Lenders without giving effect to limitations on actions of the Required Lenders in Section 11.12.

135

(b) Each Lender hereby agrees that, except as otherwise provided in any Loan Documents or with the written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, it will not take any enforcement action prior to maturity under any Loan Document, or exercise any right that it might otherwise have under Applicable Law to credit bid at foreclosure sales, Uniform Commercial Code sales or other similar dispositions of Collateral.

Section 9.2 Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 11.12 and Section 8.2) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final nonappealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, a Lender or the Issuing Bank.

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 this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 3 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the Issuing Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or the Issuing Bank prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

Section 9.5 Delegation of Duties.

Section 9.6 Resignation of Administrative Agent.

(a) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, in consultation with the Borrower (provided that no such consultation shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the Issuing Bank directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this paragraph. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph).

(a) Each Lender, the Issuing Bank, each other Secured Party and any other party hereto hereby severally agrees that if (i) the Administrative Agent notifies (which such notice shall be conclusive absent manifest error) such Lender or Issuing Bank or any other Secured Party (or the Lender Affiliate of a Secured Party) or any other Person that has received funds from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates, either for its own account or on behalf of a Lender, Issuing Bank or other Secured Party (each such recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Payment Recipient were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Payment Recipient) or (ii) any Payment Recipient receives any 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, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, as applicable, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, as applicable, or (z) that such Payment Recipient otherwise becomes aware was transmitted or received in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) then, in each case, an error in payment shall be presumed to have been made (any such amounts specified in clauses (i) or (ii) of this Section 9.12(a), whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise; individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”), then, in each case, such Payment Recipient is deemed to have knowledge of such error at the time of its receipt of such Erroneous Payment; provided that nothing in this Section shall require the Administrative Agent to provide any of the notices specified in clauses (i) or (ii) above. Each Payment Recipient agrees that it shall not assert any right or claim to any Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives 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 Erroneous Payments, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

(b) Without limiting the immediately preceding clause (a), each Payment Recipient agrees that, in the case of clause (a)(ii) above, it shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent in writing of such occurrence.

(c) In the case of either clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above, such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and upon demand from the Administrative Agent such Payment Recipient shall (or, shall cause any Person who received any portion of an Erroneous Payment on its behalf to), promptly, but in all events no later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds and in the currency so received, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at either (i) the Federal Funds Rate and (ii) an overnight rate determined by the Administrative Agent (or to the extent payable to the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, the Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender, as applicable, in each case, with notice to the Administrative Agent) to be customary in the place of disbursement or payment for the settlement of international banking transactions.

141

(d) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Administrative Agent in accordance with immediately preceding clause (c), from any Lender that is a Payment Recipient or an Affiliate of a Payment Recipient (such unrecovered amount as to such Lender, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), then at the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and upon the Administrative Agent’s written notice to such Lender such Lender shall be deemed to have made a cashless assignment of the full face amount of the portion of its Loans (but not its Commitments) of the relevant Class with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) to the Administrative Agent or, at the option of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent’s applicable lending affiliate in an amount that is equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) plus any accrued and unpaid interest on such assigned amount, without further consent or approval of any party hereto and without any payment by the Administrative Agent or its applicable lending affiliate as the assignee of such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (1) any assignment contemplated in this clause (d) shall be made without any requirement for any payment or other consideration paid by the applicable assignee or received by the assignor, (2) the provisions of this clause (d) shall govern in the event of any conflict with the terms and conditions of Section 11.5 and (3) the Administrative Agent may reflect such assignments in the Register without further consent or action by any other Person.

(e) Each party hereto hereby agrees that (x) in the event an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent (1) shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Payment Recipient with respect to such amount and (2) is authorized to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Payment Recipient under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Payment Recipient from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 9.12 or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement, (y) the receipt of an Erroneous Payment by a Payment Recipient shall not for the purpose of this Agreement be treated as a payment, prepayment, repayment, discharge or other satisfaction of any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Credit Party, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower or any other Credit Party for the purpose of making a payment on the Obligations and (z) to the extent that an Erroneous Payment was in any way or at any time credited as payment or satisfaction of any of the Obligations, the Obligations or any part thereof that were so credited, and all rights of the Payment Recipient, as the case may be, shall be reinstated and continue in full force and effect as if such payment or satisfaction had never been received.

(f) Each party’s obligations under this Section 9.12 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of right or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

(g) Nothing in this Section 9.12 will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of the Administrative Agent hereunder arising from any Payment Recipient’s receipt of an Erroneous Payment.

If with respect to any proposed LIBOR Advance or Term SOFR Advance for any Interest Period, (a) the Administrative Agent determines after consultation with the Lenders that (i) deposits in Dollars (in the applicable amount) are not being offered to each of the Lenders in the relevant market for such Interest Period or (ii) reasonable and adequate means do not exist for the ascertaining the LIBOR Basis or Term SOFR Basis, as applicable, for such Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Advance or Term SOFR Advance or (b) the Required Lenders, the Required Initial Revolving Lenders, the Required Term C Lenders, the Required Term D Lenders or the Required Term E Lenders, as applicable, shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the LIBOR Basis or Term SOFR Basis, as applicable, does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining any LIBOR ~~Advances~~Advance or Term SOFR Advance, as the case may be, during such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such situation no longer exist (which notice shall be promptly given following the Administrative Agent’s knowledge of the termination of any such circumstance), the obligations of any affected Lender to make its portion of such LIBOR Advances or Term SOFR Advances, as the case may be, shall be suspended.

Section 10.2 Illegality

Section 10.3 Increased Costs.

(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or advances, loans or other credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the LIBOR Basis) or the Issuing Bank;

(ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii) impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the London or other applicable interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or LIBOR Advances or Term SOFR Advances made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, the Issuing Bank or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon written request of such Lender, the Issuing Bank or other Recipient, the Borrower shall promptly pay to any such Lender, the Issuing Bank or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, the Issuing Bank or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) Certificates for Reimbursement.

The Borrower shall pay such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

(c) Delay in Requests.

Section 10.5 Claims for Increased Costs and Taxes.

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.11 or Section 10.3, or requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.12, then such Lender shall, at the request of the Borrower, 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 2.11, Section 2.12 or Section 10.3, 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 Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 10.3, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.12, and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different Lending Office in accordance with Section 10.5(a), or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 11.5), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.11, Section 2.12 or Section 10.3) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:

(i) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 11.5;

(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 and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 2.9) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.11 or Section 10.3 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.12, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

145

(iv) such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Law; and

(v) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.

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

(i) Each Credit Party agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the Borrower Materials available to the Issuing Bank and the other Lenders by posting the Borrower Materials on the Platform.

155

(ii) The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.” The Agent Parties (as defined below) do not warrant the accuracy or completeness of the Borrower Materials or the adequacy of the Platform, and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Borrower Materials. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Agent Party in connection with the Borrower Materials or the Platform. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to any Credit Party, any Lender or any other Person or entity for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of any Credit Party’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of communications through the Internet (including, without limitation, the Platform), except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Party; provided that in no event shall any Agent Party have any liability to any Credit Party, any Lender, the Issuing Bank or any other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages, losses or expenses (as opposed to actual damages, losses or expenses).

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

Section 11.2 Expenses.

(a) Costs and Expenses. The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out‑of‑pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent) in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out‑of‑pocket expenses incurred by the Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all out‑of‑pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank) in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or (B) in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out‑of‑pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit.

The Administrative Agent and the Lenders expressly reserve the right to require strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement in connection with any future funding of a Request for Advance. In the event the Lenders decide to fund a Request for Advance at a time when the Borrower is not in strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement, such decision by the Lenders shall not be deemed to constitute an undertaking by the Lenders to fund any further Request for Advance or preclude the Lenders or the Administrative Agent from exercising any rights available under the Loan Documents or at law or equity. Any waiver or indulgence granted by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, or the Required Lenders, shall not constitute a modification of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except to the extent expressly provided in such waiver or indulgence, or constitute a course of dealing at variance with the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document such as to require further notice of their intent to require strict adherence to the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document in the future.

156

Section 11.4 Set-Off. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Secured Party, the 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 Applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Secured Party, the Issuing Bank or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any Subsidiary against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower or such Subsidiary now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Secured Party or the Issuing Bank, irrespective of whether or not such Secured Party or the Issuing Bank shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrower or such Subsidiary may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Secured Party or the Issuing Bank different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Secured Party, the Issuing Bank and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Secured Party, the Issuing Bank or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally.

(B) in any case not described in paragraph (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption Agreement with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of the Initial Revolving Loan Commitment or the Additional Revolving Loan Commitment or the Other Revolving Loan Commitment, or $1,000,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of any Term Loan, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have given its consent ten (10) Business Days after the date written notice thereof has been delivered by the assigning Lender (through the Administrative Agent) unless such consent is expressly refused by the Borrower prior to such tenth (10th) Business Day;

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Xxxxxx’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate classes on a non-pro rata basis;

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by paragraph (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition:

(A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided, that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof; and provided, further, that the Borrower’s consent shall not be required during the primary syndication of the Term D Loan Commitments and the Term D Loan;

(B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of (i) the Initial Revolving Loans or Additional Revolving Loans or Other Revolving Loans if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with an Initial Revolving Loan Commitment or an Additional Revolving Loan Commitment or an Other Revolving Loan Commitment, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender or (ii) any Term Loan to a Person who is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and

158

(C) the consents of the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender shall be required for any assignment in respect of the Initial Revolving Loan Commitment.

(iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 for each assignment; provided that (A) only one such fee will be payable in connection with simultaneous assignments to two or more related Approved Funds by a Lender and (B) the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

(v) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to (A) the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (except solely as to Term D Loans and Incremental Institutional Term Loans as permitted pursuant to Section 11.5(g)) or (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B).

(vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural Person.

(vii) Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested, but not funded by, the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (A) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (B) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans in accordance with its Initial Revolving Loan Commitment Ratio. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under Applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.9, 2.11, 2.12, 5.11, and 11.2 and Article 10 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Xxxxxx’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section (other than a purported assignment to a natural Person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates, which shall be null and void).

159

(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in Charlotte, North Carolina, a copy of each Assignment and Assumption Agreement and each Incremental Increase Amendment delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amounts of (and stated interest on) the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent 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. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender (but only to the extent of entries in the Register that are applicable to such Lender), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 9.9 with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its Participant(s).

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 to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver or modification described in the first proviso to Section 11.12 that affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.9, 2.11, 2.12 and Article 10 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.12(g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.12(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 (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 10.5 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 2.12 or 10.3, 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 Borrower's request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 10.5(b) with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.4 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.10 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 of (and stated interest on) each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) 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.

160

(e) 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 to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; 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.

(f) Cashless Settlement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Lender may exchange, continue or rollover all or a portion of its Loans in connection with any refinancing, extension, loan modification or similar transaction permitted by the terms of this Agreement, pursuant to a cashless settlement mechanism approved by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such Lender.

(g) Open Market Purchases. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its Term D Loans or any Incremental Institutional Term Loans on a non-pro rata basis to the Borrower through open market purchases, subject to the following limitations:

(i) the Borrower shall represent and warrant that, at the time of each such assignment, neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries shall have any MNPI with respect to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries or with respect to the Loans or any securities of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries that has not been previously disclosed in writing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (other than because such Lender does not wish to receive MNPI) prior to such time and could reasonably be expected to have a material effect upon, or otherwise be material to, a Xxxxxx’s decision to participate in such assignment;

(ii) immediately and automatically, without any further action on the part of the Borrower, any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any other Person, upon the effectiveness of such assignment of Term D Loans or Incremental Institutional Term Loans from a Lender to the Borrower, such Term D Loans or Incremental Institutional Term Loans and all rights and obligations as a Lender related thereto shall, for all purposes under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and otherwise, be deemed to be irrevocably prepaid, terminated, extinguished, cancelled and of no further force and effect and the Borrower shall neither obtain nor have any rights as a Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents by virtue of such assignment; provided that upon any such retirement and cancellation, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term D Loans or Incremental Institutional Term Loans shall be deemed reduced by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of the Term D Loans or Incremental Institutional Term Loans so retired and cancelled and each principal installment owing to the Lenders participating in such open market purchase or Dutch Auction shall, as to such retired or cancelled Term D Loans or Incremental Institutional Term Loans, be reduced on a pro rata basis by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of such Term D Loans or Incremental Institutional Term Loans so retired or cancelled;

(iii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing before or immediately after giving effect to such assignment; and

161

(iv) no prepayment of any Term Loans pursuant to this Section 11.5(g) shall be made from the proceeds of any Initial Revolving Loan or any Additional Revolving Loan or any Other Revolving Loan and immediately after giving effect to the assignment and cancellation of Term D Loans or Incremental Institutional Term Loans pursuant to this Section and any Indebtedness incurred in connection therewith the aggregate amount of outstanding Initial Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans, Letter of Credit Obligations, Additional Revolving Loans and Other Revolving Loans shall not be greater than $50,000,000.

Section 11.6 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility.

(a) In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby, each Credit Party acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that (i) the facilities provided for hereunder and any related arranging or other services in connection therewith (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) are an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arrangers and the Lenders, on the other hand, and the Borrower is capable of evaluating and understanding and understands and accepts the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or thereof), (ii) in connection with the process leading to such transaction, each of the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arrangers and the Lenders is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the financial advisor, agent or fiduciary, for the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, stockholders, creditors or employees (except as otherwise agreed in writing by Xxxxx Fargo Securities, LLC as financial advisor to the Borrower in connection with the Project Matrix Acquisition), (iii) none of the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arrangers or the Lenders has assumed or will assume an advisory, agency or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Borrower with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto, including with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document (irrespective of whether any Lead Arranger or Xxxxxx has advised or is currently advising the Borrower or any of its Affiliates on other matters) and none of the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arrangers or the Lenders has any obligation to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to the financing transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, (iv) the Lead Arrangers and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from, and may conflict with, those of the Borrower and its Affiliates, and none of the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arrangers or the Lenders has any obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any advisory, agency or fiduciary relationship and (v) the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arrangers and the Lenders have not provided and will not provide any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) and the Credit Parties have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they have deemed appropriate. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Credit Party hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arrangers or any Lender with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.
