(C) no Mandatory Prepayment Event shall have occurred (unless such Mandatory Prepayment Event has been cured or waived) and no Default, Event of Default or Adjustment Determination Period
shall have occurred and be continuing or would result from such release;
provided that, in the case of a release of Cash in an amount that does not exceed the then-current Available Dividend Amount, only clauses (B) and (C) above must be
satisfied and clause (A) will not be applicable.
(iii) Borrower may require Administrative Agent to direct Custodian to transfer Collateral consisting of Cash on a Pro Rata Basis from the Collateral Accounts to Administrative Agent in
accordance with Section 2.11 to make any payment required under Section 2.03 or any payments of outstanding principal amounts of the Advances.
By requesting any release of Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.06(e), Borrower shall be deemed to represent that the conditions set forth herein for such release have been satisfied.
(f) Posting Additional Collateral. For the avoidance of doubt, on at least one Business Day’s notice to Administrative Agent, Borrower may post Cash or Cash
Equivalents constituting Acceptable Collateral to the Collateral Accounts at any time; provided that each type of Collateral shall be posted to the Collateral Accounts on a Pro Rata Basis. Borrower shall
direct Issuer to deposit into, or credit to, the relevant Collateral Accounts on a Pro Rata Basis, or, in the case of any property or assets other than Cash and securities entitlements, deliver to Custodian (subject to the Applicable Lenders’
reasonable delivery instructions), any Ordinary Cash Dividend or Extraordinary Dividend paid or distributed on any Collateral Units, or any securities or securities entitlements (x) exchanged for, or delivered upon conversion of, any Collateral
Units in a Change of Control of Issuer or (y) delivered in respect of any Collateral Units in connection with a Spin-off, and if any such Cash, securities, securities entitlements or other property or assets are received by Borrower or any
Affiliate in respect of any Collateral Units for any reason, Borrower shall, or shall direct such Affiliate to, make such deposit or delivery as promptly as practicable and in any event no later than two Business Days following such receipt (and
pending such delivery, shall hold such property in trust for the Applicable Lenders), subject, in each case, to any subsequent release thereof in accordance with Section 2.06(e); provided that the notice
requirement in the first sentence of this Section 2.06(f) shall not apply to any such deposit or delivery. Borrower shall not tender any Collateral Units in any exchange offer (including, without limitation, a Split-off) without the consent of
each Lender.
33
(g) Extended Cure Fee. As set forth in the Additional Terms Letter.
Section 2.07. Increased Costs; Break Funding.
(a) If any Change in Law shall:
(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement (including any compulsory loan requirement, insurance charge or other assessment) against assets
of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender;
(ii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Advances made by such Lender or participation
therein; or
(iii) subject any Lender to any Taxes (other than (1) Indemnified Taxes, (2) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (3) Connection Income Taxes)
on its loans, loan principal, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to any Lender of making or maintaining the Advances hereunder (or of maintaining its Commitment) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by any Lender
hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reasonable additional costs incurred or reduction suffered, unless otherwise
waived by such Lender.
(b) If a Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such
Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Advances made by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into
consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time, within 15 Business Days following demand therefor, Borrower will pay to such Lender
such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any actual losses with respect to such reduction.
(c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts (and the calculation thereof) necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as
specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to Administrative Agent, who shall deliver or cause to be delivered such certificate to Borrower. Such certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
34
(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.07 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate any Lender pursuant to this Section 2.07 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies Borrower of the
Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased
costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Lender requests compensation under this Section 2.07 or Borrower must pay increased amounts or any amounts for Indemnified Taxes pursuant to Section 2.08, then the
applicable Lender will, if requested by Borrower, use commercially reasonable efforts to designate another lending office for any Advance, or portion thereof, affected by the relevant event if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation
would (i) avoid the requirement for or reduce the amount of such compensation, increased amounts or amounts for Indemnified Taxes, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be
disadvantageous to such Lender; provided that such efforts need only be made on terms that, in the commercially reasonable judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no
material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage; and provided further that nothing in this Section 2.07(e) shall affect or postpone any of the Obligations of Borrower or the rights of such Lender
pursuant to Section 2.07(a) through (d) or Section 2.08. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation.
(f) Borrower shall compensate each Lender, within 15 Business Days after receiving written request (in the form of a certificate) from such Lender (which certificate shall set forth in reasonable detail the
basis for requesting such amounts and shall be conclusive absent manifest error), for all reasonable loss, cost or expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits or margin) deemed to be incurred by it (determined pursuant to the following
paragraph) as a result of:
(i) any payment or prepayment of an Advance on a day other than an Interest Payment Date (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); or
(ii) any failure by Borrower to prepay or borrow any Advance on the date or in the amount notified by Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make an Advance in
breach of its obligation hereunder).
Such loss, cost or expense for any Lender shall be deemed to be an amount determined by such Lender equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Advance had such event not
occurred, at the reference interest rate that would have been applicable to such Advance, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, for the
period that would have been the Interest Period for such Advance), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement
of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market.
35
(g) All of Borrower’s obligations under this Section 2.07 shall survive termination of the Facility and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.
(h) If any Lender requests payment of any amounts in respect of increased costs or compensation for a reduction in the rate of return on the capital of any Lender or its holding company under clause (a) or
(b) of this Section 2.07 and no Default, Event of Default, Mandatory Prepayment Event or Collateral Shortfall has occurred and is continuing, or would occur as a result therefrom, Borrower may elect, within five Business Days following receipt
of such request, to prepay the entire outstanding principal amount of the Advances held by such Lender, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon and any amount due under Section 2.07(f) (and all other Obligations that are then due and
payable or will become due and payable on account of such prepayment). In the case of any such prepayment, all Collateral securing such prepaid Advances shall promptly be distributed on a Pro Rata Basis to the Collateral Accounts controlled by
the other Lenders, as determined by Administrative Agent.
Section 2.08. Taxes.
(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrower under any Margin Loan Documentation 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 Administrative Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by Administrative Agent or Borrower, then
Administrative Agent or Borrower 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 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 2.08)
each Lender or Agent receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(b) Payment of Other Taxes by Borrower. Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of Administrative Agent timely reimburse
it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
(c) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.08, Borrower shall deliver to 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 Administrative Agent.
36
(d) Indemnification by Borrower. Borrower shall indemnify Lenders and Agents, within 15 Business 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 2.08) payable or paid by Lenders or Agents or required to be withheld or deducted from any payment to any Lender or Agent 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 Borrower by a Lender
(with a copy to Administrative Agent), or by Administrative Agent, on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(e) Status of Lenders.
(i) If any Lender is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Taxes with respect to payments made under any Margin Loan Documentation, it shall deliver to Borrower and
Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or 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 Borrower or Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by
Borrower or Administrative Agent as will enable Borrower or 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 2.08(e)(ii)(A), (B) and (D) below) shall not be required if in a 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,
(A) if any Lender is a U.S. Person, it shall deliver to Borrower and 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 Borrower or Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding;
(B) if any Lender is a Foreign Lender, it shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested
by Borrower or 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 Borrower or Administrative Agent), whichever of the following
is applicable:
37
(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 Margin Loan
Documentation, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or an applicable successor form) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and
(y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Margin Loan Documentation, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or an applicable successor form) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant
to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;
(2) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;
(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit
F-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of KKR Rodeo Aggregator L.P. within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled
foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or an
applicable successor form); or
(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or an applicable
successor form), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 or Exhibit F-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided
that if the 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 F-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 Borrower and Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipients)
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 Borrower or Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by
applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit Borrower or Administrative Agent
to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
38
(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Margin Loan Documentation would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the
applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such
time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or 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
Borrower or Administrative Agent as may be necessary for Borrower or Administrative Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the
amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered has expired or become obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly
notify Borrower and Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
Administrative Agent shall deliver to Borrower, on or before the date on which it becomes Administrative Agent hereunder, either (i) a duly executed original IRS Form W-9 (or any applicable successor form)
certifying that Administrative Agent is not subject to backup withholding, or (ii) a duly executed original IRS Form W-8IMY (or any applicable successor form) establishing that Administrative Agent will act as a withholding agent for any U.S.
federal withholding tax imposed with respect to any payment made to Lenders under any Margin Loan Documentation. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Borrower at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide the
certification described in the preceding sentence.
(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any Lender or Agent 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 2.08 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.08), it shall pay to Borrower or Agent an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section
2.08 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such Lender or Agent and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such
refund). Borrower, upon the request of such Lender or Agent, shall repay to such Lender or Agent the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (f) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority)
in the event that such Lender or Agent is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (f), in no event will any Lender or Agent be required to pay any amount to
Borrower pursuant to this paragraph (f) the payment of which would place such Lender or Agent in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Lender or Agent 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 Lender or Agent to make
available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to Borrower or any other Person.
39
(g) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but
only to the extent that Borrower has not already indemnified Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the
provisions of the Additional Terms Letter 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 Administrative Agent in connection with any Margin
Loan Documentation, 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 Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under
any Margin Loan Documentation or otherwise payable by Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to Administrative Agent under this paragraph (g).
(h) Borrower shall deliver to each Agent, on or before the Closing Date (and thereafter promptly from time to time upon the reasonable request of an Agent), (i) a duly executed copy of IRS Form W-9
certifying that it is a U.S. Person for U.S. federal income tax purposes and (ii) a duly executed certification in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.1445-2(b)(2) to the effect that Borrower is not a “foreign person.” Borrower shall
promptly notify each Agent at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide the IRS Form or certification described in the preceding sentence.
(i) Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Administrative Agent following a Change in Law, a change in the jurisdiction or location of material
business activities of Issuer or an identifiable change in circumstances with respect to Issuer that reasonably could be expected to result in an imposition or increase in withholding Tax that would reduce the proceeds receivable by a Lender or
Lenders upon a disposition of any Collateral, such properly completed and executed documentation that it is legally, and pursuant to its Organization Documents and other confidentiality obligations, entitled to deliver and that is reasonably
requested by Administrative Agent in order to permit a Lender or Lenders to exercise its rights under Section 7.02 hereof in a manner that will avoid or, to the extent possible, minimize such a reduction in proceeds; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.08(i), the preparation or delivery of such documentation shall not be required if in Borrower’s reasonable judgment such preparation or delivery would
subject Borrower (or its Affiliates) to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of Borrower (or its Affiliates).
40
Section 2.09. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall notify Borrower and Administrative Agent that any Law makes it
unlawful, or any Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for such Lender to perform its obligations to maintain its Advance hereunder with interest accruing based on LIBOR, the obligation of such Lender to make such Advances shall
be terminated and all such Advances shall begin to bear interest at the Applicable Rate, determined pursuant to the proviso set forth in the definition thereof as if LIBOR could not be determined at
such time, either on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain the Advances with interest accruing based on LIBOR to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to
maintain the Advances with interest accruing based on LIBOR to such day (it being understood that for purposes of determining the LTV Ratio, interest on such Advances, including interest paid in kind, shall be deemed to accrue at a rate equal
to the greater of (x) LIBOR plus the Applicable Margin and (y) the Applicable Rate for such Advances).
Section 2.10. Evidence of Debt.
(a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Advance from time to time, including the
amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.
(b) Administrative Agent shall also maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the names and addresses of Lenders, (ii) the amount of each Advance made hereunder, (iii) the amount of any principal or
interest due and payable or to become due and payable from Borrower to each Lender hereunder, and (iv) the amount of any sum received by Administrative Agent hereunder from Borrower and each Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof.
(c) The entries maintained in the accounts maintained pursuant to Subsection (a) above shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations therein recorded; provided that the failure of Administrative Agent or any Lender to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of Borrower to repay such obligations in accordance
with their terms.
(d) No promissory note shall be required to evidence the Advances by Lenders to Borrower.
41
Section 2.11. Payments and Computations.
(a) All payments to be made by Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Borrower shall make each payment hereunder not later than 4:00 p.m.
on the day when due (subject to Section 2.06(b), (c) and (d) with respect to any payments made to cure a Collateral Shortfall or made with respect to a Mandatory Prepayment Event or Deleveraging Event, as applicable) in Dollars to Administrative
Agent in immediately available funds. Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute (x) to each Lender its share, determined on a Pro Rata Basis (or other applicable basis as provided herein), of such payment or (y) in the case of a payment
under Section 2.07(h), to the Lender whose Advances are being prepaid, the entire amount of such payment, in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender. All payments received by Administrative Agent after 4:00 p.m. shall be deemed
received on the next succeeding Business Day (subject to Section 2.06(b), (c) and (d) with respect to any payments made to cure a Collateral Shortfall or made with respect to a Mandatory Prepayment Event or Deleveraging Event, as applicable) and
any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.
(b) Whenever any payment hereunder would be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be
included in the computation of payment of interest or any fees (without duplication), as the case may be.
(c) All payments (including prepayments) made in respect of the Obligations shall be applied to amounts then due and payable in the following order, ratably in accordance with the percentage of any such
amounts owed to each Lender (or, in the case of a payment under Section 2.07(h), solely in respect of the Advances being prepaid): (A) any expenses and indemnities payable by Borrower to Lenders under any Margin Loan Documentation; (B) to any
accrued and unpaid interest and fees due under this Agreement; (C) to principal payments on the outstanding Advances; and (D) to the extent of any excess, to the payment of all other Obligations under the Margin Loan Documentation; provided that all amounts received in connection with the exercise of any Applicable Lender’s rights after an Event of Default shall be applied to the Obligations owing to such Applicable Lender and any
relevant Agented Lenders, ratably among the Obligations owing to such Applicable Lender and any relevant Agented Lenders or in accordance with such other arrangements as have been agreed among such Applicable Lender and such Agented Lender(s), as
the case may be.
Section 2.12. Accelerating Lenders.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (but subject to clause (b) below), if one or more Lenders become Accelerating Lenders:
(i) each Accelerating Lender, solely for purposes of determining the rights and obligations of such Lender vis á vis Borrower, shall be deemed to
be:
(A) Administrative Agent and Calculation Agent hereunder; and
42
(B) the sole Lender hereunder for all purposes and, for the avoidance of doubt, no other Lender’s consent shall be necessary for any modification of such rights and obligations; and
(ii) solely for purposes of determining the rights and obligations of all Lenders that are not Accelerating Lenders among themselves and vis á vis Borrower:
(A) each Accelerating Lender shall be deemed to no longer be a Lender hereunder and, for the avoidance of doubt, such Accelerating Lender’s consent shall not be necessary for any
modification of such rights and obligations; and
(B) if Administrative Agent or Calculation Agent is an Accelerating Lender, a replacement therefor shall be selected from among the Lenders that are not Accelerating Lenders as if such
Agent had resigned.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, following one or more Lenders becoming Accelerating Lenders, Borrower, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not make any payments of its Obligations or post any Collateral
except on a Pro Rata Basis (without regard to clause (a) above). For the avoidance of doubt, the application of proceeds received by an Applicable Lender in respect of an exercise of its remedies under the Margin Loan Documentation shall not
be considered a payment by Borrower for purposes of this Section 2.12(b).
Section 2.13. Administrative Agent’s Clawback.
(a) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the Closing Date that such Lender will not make available to
Administrative Agent such Lender’s Advance, Administrative Agent may assume that each Lender that has a Commitment hereunder has made the relevant Advance available on the Closing Date in accordance with Section 2.01 and may, in reliance upon
such assumption, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made the relevant Advance available to Administrative Agent, then such Lender and Borrower severally agree to pay to Administrative
Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a
payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by
Borrower, the Applicable Rate. If Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to Borrower the amount of such interest paid by Borrower
for such period. If such Lender pays such Advance to Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Advance included in such borrowing. Any payment by Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim Borrower may
have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to Administrative Agent.
43
(b) Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to Administrative
Agent for the account of Lenders hereunder that Borrower will not make such payment, Administrative Agent may assume that Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to
Lenders the amount due. In such event, if Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each Lender severally agrees to repay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, with interest thereon, for
each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance
with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
(c) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of Lenders hereunder to make Advances and to make payments pursuant to Section 9.04(e) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to
make any Advance or to make any payment under Section 9.04(e) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other
Lender to so make its Advance or to make its payment under Section 9.04(e).
Section 2.14. Rebalancing. If, on any date any Applicable Lender gives written notice to Administrative Agent, or Administrative Agent otherwise becomes aware, that any
posting or release of Collateral did not occur on a Pro Rata Basis or the Collateral is not held on a Pro Rata Basis for any other reason, then on, or as promptly as practicable following, such date, the Applicable Lenders shall cause any
transfers of Collateral from the Collateral Accounts that they control to Collateral Accounts controlled by other Applicable Lenders as may be necessary, as determined by Administrative Agent, to ensure that the Collateral is held on a Pro Rata
Basis. Each Applicable Lender agrees to cooperate in good faith with Administrative Agent to effect such rebalancing, including, for the avoidance of doubt, by submitting written instructions to Custodian to effect such transfers. Borrower
hereby consents to, and to the extent necessary will cooperate in good faith with, such transfers.
ARTICLE 3
Representations and Warranties
Other than with respect to Section 3.21, Borrower represents and warrants to Lenders that:
Section 3.01. Organization; Powers. Borrower (i) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its organization, (ii) has all requisite power and authority to enter into, and perform its obligations under, the Margin Loan Documentation, and consummate the Transactions, and (iii) is qualified to do business in, and is in
good standing in, every jurisdiction where such qualification is required.
Section 3.02. Authorization; Enforceability. The Transactions are within the powers of and have been duly authorized by all necessary action by Borrower. Each document
included in the Margin Loan Documentation to which it is a party has been duly executed and delivered by Borrower and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Borrower, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.
44

of Default pursuant to this clause (f): (I) Issuer or any other Portfolio Company institutes, or has instituted with respect to it, any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; (II) any receiver, trustee, custodian, conservator,
liquidator, rehabilitator or similar office is appointed for Issuer or any other Portfolio Company or for all or any material part of its property; (III) Issuer or any other Portfolio Company admits in writing its inability, or fails to
pay, its debts as they become due or (IV) Issuer or any other Portfolio Company makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors;
(g) any material provision of any Margin Loan Documentation for any reason ceases to be valid, binding and enforceable in accordance with its terms (or Borrower, any Fund Entity or KKR Rodeo
Aggregator L.P. shall challenge in writing the enforceability of any Margin Loan Documentation or shall assert in writing, or engage in any action or inaction based on any such assertion, that any material provision of any of the Margin
Loan Documentation has ceased to be or otherwise is not valid, binding and enforceable in accordance with its terms);
(h) any of the Security and Control Agreements shall for any reason (other than the failure of the Applicable Lender to take any action within
its control) fail to create a valid and perfected first priority Lien in the Collateral (subject to no other Lien, other than Permitted Liens), except as permitted by the terms of the Margin Loan Documentation, or any of the Security and
Control Agreements shall fail to remain in full force or effect;
(i) (i)(A) one or more final judgments for the payment of money in an aggregate amount in excess of the applicable Threshold Amount shall be
rendered against Borrower and (B) (a) the same shall remain undischarged for a period of fifteen (15) consecutive days during which execution shall not be effectively stayed, and the same is not subject to further appeal or (b) any legal
action shall be taken by a judgment creditor to attach or levy upon any assets of Borrower to enforce any such judgment or (ii)(A) any final non-monetary judgments or orders which, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect shall be rendered against Borrower and (B) (a) Borrower shall fail within fifteen (15) days, during which execution shall not be effectively stayed, to discharge such judgments or orders, and such
judgments or orders are not subject to further appeal or (b) any legal action shall be taken to enforce such judgments or orders;
57
(j) the occurrence of a Change of Control Trigger Date; or
(k) the assets of Borrower constitute assets of an ERISA Plan and such condition results in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406(a) of ERISA or Section
4975(c)(1)(A)-(C) of the Code subjecting the Lenders to any tax or penalty on prohibited transactions imposed under Section 4975 of the Code or Section 502(i) of ERISA;
then Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Required Lenders (or, in the case of a Specified Event of Default, any Lender), may, or, at the direction of the Required Lenders (or, in the case of a Specified Event of Default, any
Lender) shall, notify Borrower thereof (such notice, an “Event of Default Notice”) with a copy to all other Lenders and, following the delivery of such Event of Default Notice, any
Lender may (i) declare such Lender’s Advances, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and any fees or other amounts due under the Margin Loan Documentation to such Lender, to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon such
amounts shall become and be forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower and (ii) declare such Lender’s Commitments to be terminated, whereupon
the same shall forthwith terminate; provided, however, that upon the occurrence of any event in Section 7.01(f), (x) the Total Accrued Loan Amount shall
automatically become and be due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower and (y) all Commitments shall automatically be terminated. Following any
Lender becoming an Accelerating Lender, such Lender may exercise any rights and remedies provided to such Lender under the Margin Loan Documentation (including the enforcement of any and all Liens created to such Lender pursuant to the
Security and Control Agreements) or at law or equity, including all remedies provided under the UCC.
(a) For the avoidance of doubt, following any Lender becoming an Accelerating Lender, such Lender may choose to exercise any remedies provided for herein or in any other
Margin Loan Documentation, or refrain from exercising such remedies, in its sole discretion with respect to the Collateral subject to its control under a Security and Control Agreement (including by virtue of an agency relationship with any
Applicable Lender). No Lender shall have any fiduciary or other duties to the other Lenders in connection with the exercise of remedies against the Collateral securing the Obligations owing to such Lender or otherwise and no Lender shall
interfere with such exercise of remedies or claim (or support any claim by any third-party) that a sale or other disposition of any Lender’s Collateral by or on behalf of such Lender was not commercially reasonable.
(b) In connection with any assignment by a Lender, Borrower agrees to, as promptly as practicable, (i) establish a separate Collateral Account with Custodian, (ii) enter into a Security and Control
Agreement (in a form substantially identical to the other relevant Security and Control Agreements) in favor of the assignee with respect to such Collateral Accounts and granting a Lien in favor of the assignee over such assignee’s
Applicable Percentage of the Collateral of each type, (iii) if reasonably requested by Custodian, enter into a customer account agreement or other agreement with such intermediary and (iv) make appropriate amendments to this Agreement and
the other Margin Loan Documentation to reflect any administrative or technical changes as are reasonably requested by the assigning Lender, the assignee or Administrative Agent, which do not adversely affect Borrower’s rights or obligations
hereunder. In connection with any assignment by a Lender of all of its Advances hereunder, Borrower agrees that such Lender’s rights and obligations under the other Margin Loan Documentation may be assigned to the assignee.
58
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Margin Loan Documentation, Borrower, Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby agree that (i) during the continuance
of an Event of Default and such Lender becoming an Accelerating Lender, such Lender shall have the right individually to require Custodian (or the Applicable Lender acting as agent of such Lender for purposes of perfection, if applicable)
to realize upon any of the Collateral subject to such Lender’s control and to apply the proceeds thereof to the repayment of such Lender’s Advances outstanding and any other Obligations owing to such Lender and (ii) in the event of a
foreclosure or similar enforcement action by such Lender on its Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition (including pursuant to Section 363(k), Section 1129(b)(2)(a)(ii) or otherwise of the Bankruptcy Code), such
Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Margin Loan Documentation, when all Obligations owing to any Lender have been paid in full, upon request of
Borrower, such Lender shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any other Lender) take such actions as shall be reasonably required to release its security interest in all Collateral under such Lender’s control.
(e) Each Lender agrees that it will not challenge or question or support any other Person in challenging or questioning in any proceeding the validity, attachment,
perfection or priority of any Lien of any other Applicable Lender under any Security and Control Agreement or the validity or enforceability of the priorities, rights or duties established by or other provisions of this Agreement.
(f) Each Lender agrees with, and solely for the benefit of, each other Lender that it will not take any Bankruptcy Action with respect to Borrower.
Section 8.01. Authorization and Authority. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints Citibank, N.A., to act on its behalf as Administrative
Agent and as Calculation Agent under the Margin Loan Documentation and authorizes each Agent to take such actions on such Lender’s behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to such Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together
with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article 8 are solely for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders, and Borrower shall not have rights as third-party beneficiaries or otherwise of
any of such provisions.
59
(a) Each Person serving as an 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 such Agent and the
term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include each Person serving as an 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 Borrower or other Affiliates thereof as if such Person were not an Agent hereunder and
without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.
(b) Each Lender understands that each Person serving as an Agent, acting in its individual capacity, and its Affiliates (collectively, an “Agent’s Group”) are engaged in a wide range of financial services and businesses (including investment management, financing, securities trading, corporate and investment banking and research) (such services
and businesses are collectively referred to in this Section 8.02 as “Activities”) and may engage in the Activities with or on behalf of Borrower or its Affiliates. Furthermore, an
Agent’s Group may, in undertaking the Activities, engage in trading in financial products or undertake other investment businesses for its own account or on behalf of others (including Borrower and its Affiliates and including holding, for
its own account or on behalf of others, equity, debt and similar positions in Borrower or its Affiliates), including trading in or holding long, short or derivative positions in securities, loans or other financial products of Borrower or
its Affiliates. Each Lender understands and agrees that in engaging in the Activities, an Agent’s Group may receive or otherwise obtain information concerning Borrower and its Affiliates (including information concerning the ability of
Borrower to perform its obligations hereunder or under the other Margin Loan Documentation) which information may not be available to any of the Lenders that are not members of an Agent’s Group. No Agent nor any member of such Agent’s
Group shall have any duty to disclose to any Lender or use on behalf of the Lenders, and shall not be liable for the failure to so disclose or use, any information whatsoever about or derived from the Activities or otherwise (including any
information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of Borrower or any Affiliate thereof) or to account for any revenue or profits obtained in connection with the
Activities, except that an Agent shall deliver or otherwise make available to each Lender such documents as are expressly required by this Agreement to be transmitted by an Agent to the Lenders.
(c) Each Lender further understands that there may be situations where members of an Agent’s Group or their respective customers (including Borrower and its Affiliates) either now have or may in the
future have interests or take actions that may conflict with the interests of any one or more of the Lenders (including the interests of the Lenders hereunder). Each Lender agrees that no member of an Agent’s Group is or shall be required
to restrict its Activities as a result of the Person serving as an Agent being a member of such Agent’s Group, and that each member of an Agent’s Group may undertake any Activities without further consultation with or notification to any
Lender. None of (i) the Margin Loan Documentation, (ii) the receipt by an Agent’s Group of information (including Information) concerning Borrower or its Affiliates (including information concerning the ability of Borrower to perform its
obligations hereunder and under the other Margin Loan Documentation) nor (iii) any other matter shall give rise to any fiduciary, equitable or contractual duties (including any duty of trust or confidence) owing by an Agent or any member of
such Agent’s Group to any Lender including any such duty that would prevent or restrict an Agent’s Group from acting on behalf of customers (including Borrower or its Affiliates) or for its own account.
60
(a) An Agent’s duties hereunder and under the other Margin Loan Documentation are solely ministerial and administrative in nature and no Agent shall have any duties or
obligations except those expressly set forth herein or therein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, an Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, and, without
limitation of the foregoing, an Agent shall not be required to take any action or refrain from acting if, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, taking such action or so refraining from acting, as the case may be, may expose such
Agent or any of its Affiliates to liability or would, as determined by such Agent in good faith, be contrary to this Agreement or applicable Law.
(b) No Agent shall 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 such Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, including for the avoidance of doubt, Administrative Agent sending a Collateral Call Notice or an Event of Default Notice at the direction of any Lender, if, in the
case of an Event of Default Notice, such Agent believes in good faith that the related Event of Default is of a type that would entitle such Lender to issue such direction) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful
misconduct. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Facility Adjustment Event, Mandatory Prepayment Event, Default or Event of Default or the event or events that give or may give rise to any Facility Adjustment Event, Mandatory
Prepayment Event, Default or Event of Default unless and until Borrower or any Lender shall have given notice to such Agent describing such Facility Adjustment Event, Mandatory Prepayment Event, Default or Event of Default and such event or
events.
(c) No Agent nor any member of an Agent’s Group shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty, representation or other information made or supplied
in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Margin Loan Documentation, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith or the adequacy,
accuracy and/or completeness of the information contained therein, (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 Facility Adjustment
Event, Mandatory Prepayment Event, Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Margin Loan Documentation or any other agreement, instrument or document or the
perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest created or purported to be created hereby or thereby or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 4 or elsewhere herein, other than (but subject to the foregoing
clause (ii)) to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to an Agent.
61
(d) Nothing in this Agreement shall require an Agent or any of its Related Parties to carry out any “know your customer” or other checks in relation to any Person on behalf of any Lender and each
Lender confirms to the Agents that it is solely responsible for any such checks it is required to carry out and that it may not rely on any statement in relation to such checks made by an Agent or any of its Related Parties.
Section 8.04. Reliance by Agent. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any
notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed,
sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. Each 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 any Advance that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, each Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender
unless an officer or Authorized Representative of an Agent responsible for the transactions contemplated hereby shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Advance. Each Agent may consult with
legal counsel (who may be counsel for 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 8.05. Delegation of Duties. An Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under
any other Margin Loan Documentation by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by such Agent, and such Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their
respective Related Parties, provided, in each case, that no such delegation to a sub-agent or a Related Party shall release an Agent from any of its obligations hereunder. Each such sub-agent and
the Related Parties of an Agent and each such sub-agent shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article 8 and Margin Loan Documentation (as though such sub-agents were an “Agent” hereunder and under the other Margin Loan
Documentation) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.
62
Section 8.06. Resignation of Agent. An Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and
Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with Borrower (unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (and not have been cured or waived)), to
appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in New York, New York. 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 Agent gives notice of its resignation (such 30-day period, the “Lender Appointment Period”), then the retiring
Agent may on behalf of the Lenders appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. In addition and without any obligation on the part of the retiring Agent to appoint, on behalf of the Lenders, a successor Agent, the
retiring Agent may at any time upon or after the end of the Lender Appointment Period notify Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted appointment as successor Agent and of the effective date of such retiring Agent’s
resignation which effective date shall be no earlier than three Business Days after the date of such notice. Upon the resignation effective date established in such notice and regardless of whether a successor Agent has been appointed and
accepted such appointment, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nonetheless become effective and (i) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations as an Agent hereunder and under the other Margin Loan
Documentation but shall not be relieved of any of its obligations as a Lender and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through such Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly,
until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above in this Section 8.06. The successor shall be consented to by Borrower at all times other than during the existence of an Event of Default that has not
been cured or waived (which consent of Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as an Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the
rights, powers, privileges and duties as an Agent of the retiring (or retired) Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations as an Agent hereunder and/or under the other Margin Loan Documentation
but shall not be relieved of any of its obligations as a Lender (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section 8.06). The fees payable by Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its
predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Margin Loan Documentation, the provisions of this Article 8 shall continue in effect for the
benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Agent was acting as an Agent. Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, if at any time any Agent ceases to be a Lender hereunder, such Agent shall be deemed to have provided its notice of resignation, which notice shall be automatically effective as of the date such Agent ceased to be a Lender
hereunder.
(a) Each Lender confirms to the Agents, each other Lender and each of their respective Related Parties that it (i) possesses (individually or through its Related Parties) such knowledge and experience
in financial and business matters that it is capable, without reliance on the Agents, any other Lender or any of their respective Related Parties, of evaluating the merits and risks (including tax, legal, regulatory, credit, accounting and
other financial matters) of (x) entering into this Agreement, (y) making its portion of the Facility and (z) taking or not taking actions hereunder, (ii) is financially able to bear such risks and (iii) has determined that entering into
this Agreement and making its portion of the Facility is suitable and appropriate for it.
63
(b) Each Lender acknowledges that (i) it is solely responsible for making its own independent appraisal and investigation of all risks arising under or in connection with this Agreement and the other
Margin Loan Documentation, (ii) it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agents, any other Lender or any of their respective Related Parties, made its own appraisal and investigation of all risks associated with, and its own
credit analysis and decision to enter into, this Agreement based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate and (iii) it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agents, any other Lender or any of their
respective Related Parties, continue to be solely responsible for making its own appraisal and investigation of all risks arising under or in connection with, and its own credit analysis and decision to take or not take action under, this
Agreement and the other Margin Loan Documentation based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, which may include, in each case:
(ii) the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of this Agreement and the other Margin Loan Documentation and any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed
in anticipation of, under or in connection with this Agreement;
(iii) determining compliance or non-compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of the Advances and the form and substance of all evidence delivered in connection with establishing the satisfaction
of each such condition; or
(iv) the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of any other information delivered by the Agents, any other Lender or by any of their respective Related Parties under or in connection with this Agreement, the
other Margin Loan Documentation, the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby or any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with this Agreement.
Section 8.08. Other Acceptable Collateral. Administrative Agent shall not consent to any property or securities
being included as Other Acceptable Collateral, and Calculation Agent shall not determine the Other Acceptable Collateral Haircut, without the written consent of each other Lender party hereto (in its sole discretion).
Section 9.01. Amendments; Adjustments. Neither this Agreement nor any of the other Margin Loan Documentation nor
any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended, modified or supplemented, nor any consent granted to any deviation to the terms hereof or thereof, except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Required
Lenders and Borrower, and acknowledged by Administrative Agent; provided that no such amendment, waiver, modification, supplement or consent shall:

Documentation; or
(j) materially impair or diminish, or circumvent, any term or provision specified above (including, without limitation, by modifying any defined term used therein or any provision

Documentation.
provided further that the provisions set forth in Article 8 shall not be waived,
amended, modified or supplemented, nor any consent granted to any deviation thereto, without the consent of each Agent affected thereby.
For purposes of the foregoing, any amendment, waiver or modification of any Margin Loan Documentation that would materially impair or diminish, or circumvent, or change the meaning or operation of any term or
provision specified above in this Section 9.01 (including, without limitation, any amendment, waiver or modification of any defined term used therein or any provision referenced therein) shall be deemed to be an amendment, waiver or
modification of such term or provision and shall require the consent specified above with respect to an amendment, waiver or modification of such term or provision.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Lender agrees with each other Lender and with Borrower that no amendment, termination or supplement shall be made to any Security and Control Agreement or Issuer Agreement,
and no new Margin Loan Documentation shall be entered into with any Lender (subject, for the avoidance of doubt, to Section 2.12), unless a substantially identical amendment, termination or supplement is made to each other Security and
Control Agreement or Issuer Agreement, or substantially identical Margin Loan Documentation is entered into with each other Lender, as the case may be.
Upon the occurrence of any Facility Adjustment Event, Calculation Agent shall (a) adjust one or more of the terms or provisions of the Facility as Calculation Agent determines necessary in a commercially
reasonable manner to account for the effect of the Facility Adjustment Event on the Facility (unless Calculation Agent determines in a commercially reasonable manner that no such adjustment is necessary), and (b) determine the effective
time of the adjustment, which may be the date the Facility Adjustment Event occurs (and, except in the case of a Facility Adjustment Event of the type described in clause (i)(b), or (vi) of the definition thereof or of the type described in
clause (i) of the definition of Anti-Dilution Event, may take into account, among other factors, volatility, correlation, liquidity, free float and the price of the Common Units, the Collateral Units or any other Collateral, the credit
profile of Issuer and Transfer Restrictions applicable to the Units or any other Collateral, in each case, relative to the Units, Issuer or, if applicable, any other Collateral prior to giving effect to the relevant event). To the extent
reasonably practicable, Calculation Agent shall consult in good faith with Borrower and the Lenders regarding any such adjustments. Subject to Section 9.18(a), any such adjustments pursuant to this paragraph shall be binding on all parties
to the Margin Loan Documentation and all such parties shall enter into such documentation required or reasonably requested by Administrative Agent to reflect such adjustments.

(b) Electronic Communications. (i) Notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received when sent absent receipt of a failure to deliver notice within 30 minutes

address to which notices and other communications may be sent and (ii) accurate wire instructions for such Lender.
68
(d) Reliance by Lenders. Each Agent and Lender shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices purportedly given by or on behalf of Borrower. All telephonic
notices to and other telephonic communications with any Agent or any Lender may be recorded by such Agent or such Lender, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.
(a) No failure or delay of any Lender or any Agent in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Margin Loan Documentation shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and
remedies of Agents and Lenders hereunder and under any other Margin Loan Documentation are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Margin Loan
Documentation or consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 9.01, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the
purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on Borrower in any case shall entitle Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of Agents and Lenders to any
other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of an Advance shall not be construed as a waiver of any Event of Default, regardless of whether Lenders may
have had notice or knowledge of such Event of Default at the time.
(b) The Advances are made with full recourse to Borrower and constitute direct, general, unconditional and unsubordinated Indebtedness of Borrower. Notwithstanding anything that may be expressed or
implied in this Agreement or any document, agreement, or instrument delivered contemporaneously herewith, and notwithstanding the fact that any party hereto may be a partnership or limited liability company, each party hereto, by its
acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement, covenants, agrees and acknowledges that no Persons other than the parties hereto and any party to any Margin Loan Documentation, as the case may be, shall have any obligation hereunder and that
it has no rights of recovery hereunder against, and no recourse hereunder or under any documents, agreements, or instruments delivered contemporaneously herewith or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in
connection herewith or therewith shall be had against, any former, current or future director, officer, agent, Affiliate, manager, assignee, incorporator, controlling Person, fiduciary, representative or employee of any party hereto (or any
of their successors or permitted assignees), against any former, current, or future general or limited partner, manager, stockholder or member of any party hereto (or any of their successors or permitted assignees) or any Affiliate thereof
or against any former, current or future director, officer, agent, employee, Affiliate, manager, assignee, incorporator, controlling Person, fiduciary, representative, general or limited partner, stockholder, manager or member of any of the
foregoing, but in each case not including the parties hereto or to any Margin Loan Documentation (each, but excluding for the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto or to any Margin Loan Documentation, a “Partner Affiliate”), whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate veil, by or through a claim (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) by or on behalf of such party against the Partner Affiliates,
by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, or by virtue of any statute, regulation or other applicable law, or otherwise; it being expressly agreed and acknowledged that no personal liability whatsoever
shall attach to, be imposed on, or otherwise be incurred by any Partner Affiliate, as such, for any obligations of the applicable party under this Agreement or any Margin Loan Documentation or the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby, under any documents or instruments delivered contemporaneously herewith, in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith or therewith, or for any claim (whether in tort, contract or
otherwise) based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation.
69
(c) Borrower and Lenders acknowledge and agree that the Margin Loan Documentation collectively are intended to constitute a “securities contract” as such term is defined in Section 741(7) of the
Bankruptcy Code and that each delivery, transfer, payment and grant of a security interest made or required to be made hereunder or contemplated hereby or made, required to be made or contemplated in connection herewith is a “transfer” and
a “margin payment” or a “settlement payment” within the meaning of Section 362(b)(6) and/or (27) and Sections 546(e) and/or (j) of the Bankruptcy Code. In addition, all obligations under or in connection with the Margin Loan Documentation
represent obligations in respect of “termination values,” “payment amounts” or “other transfer obligations” within the meaning of Sections 362 and 561 of the Bankruptcy Code. The parties further acknowledge and agree that the Margin Loan
Documentation collectively constitutes a “master netting agreement” within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code.
(a) Costs and Expenses. Borrower shall pay promptly (i) (x) all actual, reasonable and documented costs and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Lenders and
each Agent, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one counsel for Lenders and Agents in connection with the Facility, including syndication thereof and the preparation of the Margin Loan Documentation, subject to an
aggregate cap equal to the Maximum Counsel Fee Amount and (y) the administration of the Margin Loan Documentation and any amendments or modifications thereto or any waivers of the provisions of the Margin Loan Documentation (in each case
whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), and (ii) all reasonable costs and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Lenders and each Agent, including the fees, charges and disbursements of
any counsel for Lenders and each Agent, in connection with the enforcement, collection or protection of its rights in connection with the Margin Loan Documentation, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Advances
made hereunder, including all such expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Advances.
70
(b) Indemnification by Borrower. Borrower shall indemnify Lenders, each Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons
(each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including
the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction for the Indemnitees, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third-party or by Borrower or any Related Party of Borrower arising
out of, in connection with, or as a result of, (i) this Agreement, any other Margin Loan Documentation, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder, the exercise of remedies hereunder and
thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include any hedging activities by any Indemnitee, as to which clause (d) below shall apply), (ii) any Advance or
the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, or (iii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a
third-party or by Borrower or any other Related Party of Borrower, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be
available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith,
fraud or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties or (y) arise out of any dispute among Indemnitees (other than a dispute involving claims against Administrative Agent or any Calculation Agent, in each case in
their respective capacities as such) that did not involve actions or omissions of Borrower or its Affiliates.
(c) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of
liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Margin Loan Documentation or any agreement or
instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Advance or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in Subsection (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by
unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Margin Loan Documentation or the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except to the extent such charges result from the willful misconduct, bad faith, fraud or gross negligence of such Indemnitee.
(d) Post-Default Hedging Costs. After (i) the occurrence of an Event of Default and (ii) acceleration of the
Obligations of any Lender, Borrower shall pay, on demand, such Lender’s (or its Affiliate’s) costs (including the cost of put options), losses (including market losses, other than with respect to Common Units Hedging Transactions), charges,
fees, expenses, Taxes or duties of any kind directly relating to its (x) Advances or (y) acquisition, establishment, re-establishment, substitution, maintenance, unwinding or disposition of, or realization or recovery of the proceeds of, or
any part thereof, any transaction(s) entered into by such Lender or its Affiliate to hedge the market risk of the Collateral. Borrower’s obligation under this Subsection (d) shall survive termination of the Facility and payment in full of
all other Obligations. “Common Units Hedging Transactions” means “short sales” of Common Units and option contracts, futures contracts, forward contracts, swap agreements or other
derivative transactions relating to Common Units, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any such transaction for which the underlier is a broad-based index or basket of securities.
71
(e) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that Borrower for any reason fails indefeasibly to pay any amount required under Subsection (a) or (b) of this Section to
be paid by it to any Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to such Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s
Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or
indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against such Agent (or any such sub-agent) in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting
for such Agent (or any such sub-agent) in connection with such capacity. The obligations of Lenders under this clause (e) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.13.
(f) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly and in any event not later than fifteen Business Days after demand therefor (subject to acceleration under Section
7.01).
(g) Survival. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of the Facility and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations.
Section 9.05. Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of Borrower is made to any of Administrative Agent or
Lenders (or Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders), or Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be
fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by any Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor
Relief Law or otherwise, then to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had
not occurred.
(a) Governing Law. The Margin Loan Documentation shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.
(b) Submission to Jurisdiction. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any U.S. Federal or New York
State court sitting in New York, New York in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Margin Loan Documentation, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties
hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or any other
Margin Loan Documentation shall affect any right that Lenders may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Margin Loan Documentation against Borrower or its properties in the courts of any
jurisdiction.
72
(c) Waiver of Venue. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter
have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Margin Loan Documentation in any court referred to in Subsection (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby
irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
(d) Service of Process. Each party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.02(a). Nothing in this
Agreement or any other Margin Loan Documentation will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable Law.
(e) WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN
ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER MARGIN LOAN DOCUMENTATION OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH
PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B)
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER MARGIN LOAN DOCUMENTATION BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.06(e).
As set forth in the Additional Terms Letter.
Section 9.08. Severability. Any provision of any Margin Loan Documentation held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions thereof; and the invalidity
of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.
73
Section 9.09. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on
different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Margin Loan Documentation constitute the entire contract among the
parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed
by each of the parties hereto and when each of the parties hereto shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or electronic transmission shall be effective as
delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
Section 9.10. Survival. All agreements, representations and warranties made herein shall survive the execution and delivery of the Margin
Loan Documentation and the making of any Advances, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Advance or any other Obligation under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or
unsatisfied. The provisions of Sections 2.07, 2.08, 9.04, 9.11 and 9.13 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Advances, the
resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent, the assignment of rights by any Lender or the termination of this Agreement or any other Margin Loan Documentation any provision hereof or thereof.
Section 9.11. Confidentiality. Subject to Section 5.06, each Agent and each Lender
agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other
advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any
regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such Lender (in which case the disclosing party agrees to inform Borrower promptly of such disclosure, unless such notice is prohibited by applicable Law and except in connection with any
request as part of a regulatory examination), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process (in which case the disclosing party agrees to inform Borrower promptly of such disclosure
to the extent permitted by law and except in connection with a regulatory examination of an audit or examination conducted by bank accountants), (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies
hereunder or any other Margin Loan Documentation, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 9.11, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or
Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap, derivative or hedging transaction relating to Borrower and its obligations or the Collateral
Units, (g) with the consent of Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section by such Lender, (ii) becomes available to such Lender on a non-confidential
basis from a source other than Borrower or its Affiliates or (iii) is independently developed by such Lender without use of the Information. For the purposes of this Section, “Information”
means all information received from Borrower relating to Borrower or its business hereunder or pursuant hereto, other than any such information that is available to Lenders on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by Borrower; provided that, in the case of information received from Borrower after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain
the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 9.11 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information
as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. For the avoidance of doubt, Borrower agrees that the obligations of Lenders and Agents in this Section 9.11 shall not be interpreted to restrict any such Lender or Agent or
their Affiliates from transacting in Units or related securities (it being understood that any transactions in Collateral Units are subject to the terms of the Margin Loan Documentation).
74
Section 9.12. No Advisory or Fiduciary Relationship. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby and by the
other Margin Loan Documentation (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Margin Loan Documentation), Borrower acknowledges and agrees that: (a)(i) the arranging and other services
regarding this Agreement provided by Lenders are arm’s-length commercial transactions between Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Lenders and their Affiliates, on the other hand, (ii) Borrower has consulted its own legal,
accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (iii) Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the
other Margin Loan Documentation; (b)(i) Lenders are and have been acting solely as principals and, except as expressly agreed in writing herein or otherwise by the relevant parties, have not been, are not, and will not be acting as
advisors, agents or fiduciaries for Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or any other Person and (ii) Lenders have no obligation to Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those
obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Margin Loan Documentation; and (c) Lenders and their Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of Borrower and its
Affiliates, and Lenders have no obligations to disclose any of such interests to Borrower or any of its Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against Lenders or
their Affiliates with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.
Section 9.13. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lenders, Agents and each of their respective Affiliates (each, a “Set-off Party”)
are hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at
any time owing by such Set-off Party to or for the credit or the account of Borrower against any of and all the obligations and liabilities of Borrower, irrespective of whether or not the relevant Set-off Party shall have made any demand
under the Margin Loan Documentation and although such obligations may be unmatured. The parties agree that each of the Collateral Accounts is a general and not special account. The rights of each Set-off Party under this Section 9.13 are
in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Set-off Party may have.
75
Section 9.14. Judgment Currency. If a judgment, order or award is rendered by any court or tribunal for the
payment of any amounts owing to Lenders under this Agreement or any other Margin Loan Documentation or for the payment of damages in respect of a judgment or order of another court or tribunal for the payment of such amount or damages, such
judgment, order or award being expressed in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than Dollars, Borrower agrees (a) that its obligations in respect of any such amounts owing
shall be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following Lenders’ receipt of any sum adjudged in the Judgment Currency, Lenders may purchase Dollars with the Judgment Currency, and (b) to indemnify and hold harmless Lenders
against any deficiency in terms of Dollars in the amounts actually received by Lenders following any such purchase (after deduction of any premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of, or conversion into,
Dollars). The indemnity set forth in the preceding sentence shall (notwithstanding any judgment referred to in the preceding sentence) constitute an obligation of Borrower separate and independent from its other obligations hereunder, and
shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
Section 9.15. USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender that
is subject to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), as amended (the “Act”), and Administrative Agent (for itself
and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies Borrower that, pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrower, which information includes the name and address of
Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or Agent, as the case may be, to identify Borrower in accordance with the Act. Borrower agrees to promptly provide any Lender with all of the information with respect to Borrower
requested by such Lender (x) to the extent such Lender deems such information reasonably necessary to identify Borrower in accordance with the Act or (y) in connection with such Lender’s standard “on boarding” process (including, without
limitation, pursuant to “know your customer” or anti-money laundering requirements).
Section 9.16. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Advance, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Advance under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by a Lender
holding such Advance in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Advance hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful,
the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Advance but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 9.16 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of
other Advances or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by
such Lender.
76
Section 9.17. Disclosure. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that Lenders
and/or their Affiliates from time to time may hold investments in, make loans to or have other relationships with Issuer or its Affiliates.
(a) All calculations and determinations made by Calculation Agent shall be made in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner. Upon receipt of written request
from Borrower or any Lender, Calculation Agent shall promptly provide Borrower or such Lender with a written explanation describing in reasonable detail any calculation, adjustment or determination made by it (including any quotations,
market data or information from internal or external sources used in making such calculation, adjustment or determination, as the case may be, but without disclosing Calculation Agent’s proprietary or confidential models or other
information that may be proprietary or confidential or subject to contractual, legal or regulatory obligations to not disclose such information), and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide such written explanation within
three (3) Business Days from the receipt of such request.
(b) For the avoidance of doubt, the Lenders may consult with one another in considering any action, determination, notice or instruction that may be given by any Lender or Lenders or Agent hereunder.
