On and as of the Amendment No. 5 Effective Date, after giving effect to this Amendment, each Loan Party hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and each Lender as follows:
(a)each Loan Party has the power and authority and legal right to execute and deliver the Loan Documents to which it is a party and to perform its obligations thereunder. The execution and delivery by each Loan Party of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been duly authorized by proper corporate (or, in the case of Loan Parties that are not corporations, other) proceedings, and the Loan Documents constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the applicable Loan Parties party thereto enforceable against them in accordance with their terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar Laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or law);
(b)each of the representations and warranties of each Loan Party party thereto contained in Article VI of the Credit Agreement and any other Loan Document is true and correct in all material respects (except to the extent already qualified by materiality, in which case said representations and warranties are true and correct in all respects) on and as of the Amendment No. 5 Effective Date, as if made on and as of such date, except to the extent any such representation or warranty is stated to relate solely to an earlier date, in which case such representation or warranty shall have been true and correct in all material respects (except to the extent already qualified by materiality, in which case said representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all respects) on and as of such earlier date; provided, however, that references therein to the “Credit Agreement” or any other term which includes the “Credit Agreement” shall be deemed to refer to the Existing Credit Agreement as amended hereby and after giving effect to the consents, waivers and amendments set forth herein;
(c)no Default or Unmatured Default has occurred, is continuing or existed immediately prior to or will exist immediately after giving effect to this Amendment;
(d)before and after giving effect to this Amendment, all financial covenants set forth in Section 7.28 of the Existing Credit Agreement and Section 7.28 of the Credit Agreement, as the case may be, will be satisfied on a pro forma basis for the most recent determination period; and
(e)neither the execution and delivery by the Loan Parties of this Amendment, nor compliance with the provisions hereof or of the Existing Credit Agreement, as amended by this Amendment, will violate (i) any Law binding on any of the Loan Parties or their respective Property or (ii) the articles or certificate of incorporation, partnership agreement, certificate of partnership, articles or certificate of organization, by-laws, or operating or other management agreement, as the case may be, of the Loan Parties, or (iii) the provisions of any indenture, instrument or agreement to which any Loan Party is a party or is subject (including, without limitation, the Existing Credit Agreement as in effect immediately prior to giving effect to this Amendment), or by which it, or its Property, is bound, or conflict with or constitute a default thereunder, or result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien in, of or on the Property of any Loan Party pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, instrument or agreement other than any such violation, conflict, default or Lien which, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (iii) above (other than in the case of clause (iii) as it relates to the Existing Credit Agreement
4
as in effect immediately prior to giving effect to this Amendment), would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. As of the date hereof, no order, consent, adjudication, approval, license, authorization, or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with, or exemption by, or other action in respect of any Official Body or any other Person that has not been obtained by any Loan Party, is required to be obtained by any Loan Party in connection with the execution and delivery of this Amendment, any borrowings heretofore made under the Existing Credit Agreement, the payment and performance by the Loan Parties of the Obligations or the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents.
(f)As of the Amendment No. 5 Effective Date, after giving effect to the execution of this Amendment, the Company is Solvent. “Solvent” as used herein shall mean (a) the consolidated fair value of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, at a fair valuation, will exceed their consolidated debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent, unmatured or otherwise, (b) the consolidated present fair saleable value of the property of the Company and its subsidiaries is greater than the amount that is required to pay the probable liability of their consolidated debts and other liabilities, subordinated, contingent, unmatured or otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities become absolute and matured, (c) the Company and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, are able to pay their consolidated debt and liabilities, subordinated, contingent, unmatured or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured, and (d) the Company and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, do not have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the business in which they are engaged.
5.Reference to the Effect on the Loan Documents
(a)As of the Amendment No. 5 Effective Date, each reference in the Credit Agreement to “this Agreement,” “hereunder,” “hereof,” “herein,” or words of like import, and each reference in the other Loan Documents to the Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, by means of words like “thereunder”, “thereof” and words of like import), shall mean and be a reference to the Existing Credit Agreement as amended hereby, and this Amendment and the Credit Agreement shall be read together and construed as a single instrument.
(b)Except as expressly amended hereby or specifically waived above, all of the terms and provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement and all other Loan Documents are and shall remain in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed.
(c)The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not, except as expressly provided herein, operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Lenders, the Borrower, the Guarantors, any Agent or the Administrative Agent under any of the Loan Documents, nor constitute a waiver or amendment of any other provision of any of the Loan Documents or for any purpose except in each case as expressly set forth herein. This Amendment shall not constitute a novation of the Existing Credit Agreement or any of the Loan Documents.
(d)This Amendment shall constitute a “Loan Document” for all purposes under the Credit Agreement and any other Loan Document.
6.Reaffirmation
Each Loan Party hereby expressly acknowledges the terms of this Amendment and reaffirms, as of the date hereof, (i) the covenants and agreements contained in each Loan Document to which it is a party (as modified hereby); (ii) with respect to the Guarantors, its guarantee of the Obligations under the Guaranty Agreement; and (iii) agrees that (A) each Loan Document to which it is a party shall continue to be in full force and effect (as modified hereby)
5
and (B) all guarantees, covenants and agreements by such Loan Party under the Loan Documents shall continue to be in full force and effect (as modified hereby) and shall accrue to the benefit of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and shall not be affected, impaired or discharged hereby or by the transactions contemplated in this Amendment (except as expressly provided herein).
7.Execution in Counterparts
This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart so that all signature pages are attached to the same document. Delivery of an executed counterpart by telecopy or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in this Amendment shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.
8.Governing Law
THIS AMENDMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
9.Section Titles
The section titles contained in this Amendment are and shall be without substantive meaning or content of any kind whatsoever and are not a part of the agreement between the parties hereto, except when used to reference a section. Any reference to the number of a clause, sub-clause or subsection of any Loan Document immediately followed by a reference in parenthesis to the title of the section of such Loan Document containing such clause, sub-clause or subsection is a reference to such clause, sub-clause or subsection and not to the entire section; provided, however, that, in case of direct conflict between the reference to the title and the reference to the number of such section, the reference to the title shall govern absent manifest error. If any reference to the number of a section (but not to any clause, sub-clause or subsection thereof) of any Loan Document is followed immediately by a reference in parenthesis to the title of a section of any Loan Document, the title reference shall govern in case of direct conflict absent manifest error.
10.Notices
All communications and notices hereunder shall be given as provided in the Credit Agreement.
11.Severability
The fact that any term or provision of this Amendment is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable as to any person in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity,
6
enforceability or legality of the remaining terms or provisions hereof or the validity, enforceability or legality of such offending term or provision in any other situation or jurisdiction or as applied to any person.
12.Successors
The terms of this Amendment shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
13.Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial
The jurisdiction and waiver of right to trial by jury provisions in Sections 16.2 and 16.3 of the Credit Agreement are incorporated herein by reference mutatis mutandis.

The Borrower may from time to time pay, upon two Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent, subject to the payment of any funding indemnification amounts required by Section 3.4 but without penalty or premium, (i) all of a Term SOFR Ratable Advance under the Term Loan Facility, or (ii) in a minimum aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (and provided such payment would not reduce the outstanding principal amount of such Term SOFR Ratable Advance under the Term Loan Facility to less than $5,000,000) any portion of a Term SOFR Ratable Advance under the Term Loan Facility. Optional prepayments pursuant to this Section 2.6 made by the Borrower shall be applied to the Term Advances designated by the Borrower, provided such prepayments shall be allocated among the Lenders based on their pro rata shares of such Term Advances.
38
2.7 [Reserved].
2.8 Changes in Interest Rate, Etc. Each Floating Rate Advance shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from and including the date such Term Advance is made or is automatically converted from a Term SOFR Ratable Advance into a Floating Rate Advance pursuant to Section 2.2.4, to but excluding the date it is paid or is converted into a Term SOFR Ratable Advance pursuant to Section 2.2.4 or to a Floating Rate Advance of the other Type, at a rate per annum equal to (i) the Alternate Base Rate for such day (in the case of ABR Advances) plus the Applicable Base Rate Margin or (ii) Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR for such day (in the case of Daily Simple SOFR Advances) plus the Applicable Ratable Advance Margin. Changes in the rate of interest on that portion of any Term Advance maintained as a Floating Rate Advance will take effect simultaneously with each change in the applicable Floating Rate. Each Term SOFR Ratable Advance shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from and including the first day of the Interest Period applicable thereto to (but not including) the last day of such Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to such Adjusted Term SOFR for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Ratable Advance Margin. No Interest Period may end after the applicable Term Loan Facility Maturity Date.
2.9 Rates Applicable After Default, Past Due Amounts. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.2, during the continuance of a Default or Unmatured Default (except for (a) Unmatured Defaults that will be cured, and that the Borrower certifies will be cured, by the use of the proceeds of a revolving credit advance under the Existing Credit Agreement that the Borrower has requested thereunder or by the use of the proceeds of a loan or advance or by the issuance, amendment or extension of an Existing Credit Agreement Letter of Credit that the Borrower has requested under the Existing Credit Agreement or (b) Unmatured Defaults (other than the failure to pay any Obligations hereunder) that are not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect and that the Borrower certifies that it reasonably expects to cure before the date on which the same becomes a Default), the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice to the Borrower (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 9.2 requiring unanimous consent of the Lenders under the Term Loan Facility to changes in interest rates under the Term Loan Facility), declare that no Term Advance may be converted into or continued (after the then applicable Interest Period therefor) as a Term SOFR Ratable Advance.
If any principal of or interest on any Term Advance or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, until such amount shall have been paid in full (including default interest under this Section 2.9) at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal or interest of any Term Advance, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Term Advance as provided herein or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the rate applicable to ABR Advances.
2.10 Method and Allocation of Payments.
(a) All payments of the Obligations hereunder shall be made, without setoff, deduction, or counterclaim, in immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s address specified pursuant to Article XIV, or at any other Lending
39
Installation of the Administrative Agent specified in writing by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, by 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date when due. Each payment delivered to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Lender shall be delivered promptly by the Administrative Agent to such Lender in the same type of funds that the Administrative Agent received at its address specified pursuant to Article XIV or at any Lending Installation specified in a notice received by the Administrative Agent from such Lender. The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to charge the account of the Borrower maintained with Truist for each payment of principal, interest and fees as it becomes due hereunder.
(b) Payments of principal and interest on Term Loans received by the Administrative Agent shall be allocated among the Lenders under the Term Loan Facility based on their pro rata shares of such Term Advances paid.
(c) [Reserved].
(d) [Reserved].
(e) If the Administrative Agent receives payments on any Business Day of any amounts payable to any Lender hereunder and fails to pay such amount to such Lender (i) on or before the close of business on such day if such payment was received by 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on such day or (ii) on or before the next succeeding Business Day if such payment was received after 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on such day of receipt, the Administrative Agent shall pay to such Lender interest on such unpaid amount at the Federal Funds Effective Rate until such amount is so paid to such Lender.
2.11 Noteless Agreement; Evidence of Indebtedness.
(a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Xxxxxx from time to time hereunder.
(b) The Administrative Agent shall also maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder and the Rate Option and Interest Period with respect thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof.
(c) The entries maintained in the accounts maintained pursuant to Sections 2.11(a) and (b) above shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the Obligations therein recorded; provided however that the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Obligations in accordance with their terms.
(d) Any Lender may request that its Term Loans be evidenced by a Term Note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender the applicable Note or Notes payable to such Lender (or its registered assigns) in a form supplied by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such Note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after any assignment pursuant to Section 13.3) be represented by one or more Notes
40
payable to the payee named therein or any assignee pursuant to Section 13.3, except to the extent that any such Lender or assignee subsequently returns any such Note for cancellation and requests that such Loans once again be evidenced as described in Sections 2.11(a) and (b) above.
2.12 Telephonic Notices. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Lenders and the Administrative Agent to extend, convert or continue Term Advances, effect selections of Rate Options and to transfer funds based on telephonic notices made by any person or persons the Administrative Agent or any Lender in good faith believes to be an Authorized Officer acting on behalf of the Borrower. The Borrower agrees to deliver promptly to the Administrative Agent a written confirmation, if such confirmation is requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, of each telephonic notice signed by an Authorized Officer. If the written confirmation differs in any material respect from the action taken by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, the records of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall govern absent manifest error.
2.13 Interest Payment Dates: Interest and Fee Basis. Interest accrued on each Floating Rate Advance shall be payable on the first date of each calendar month, commencing with the first such date to occur after the date hereof. Interest accrued on each Term SOFR Ratable Advance shall be payable on the last day of its applicable Interest Period, on any date on which the Term SOFR Ratable Advance is prepaid, whether due to acceleration or otherwise, and at maturity. Interest accrued on each Term SOFR Ratable Advance having an Interest Period longer than three months shall also be payable on the first day of each calendar quarter during such Interest Period. Interest and fees under this Agreement shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year except that interest on Floating Rate Advances shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 365-day (or, if applicable, 366-day) year. Interest shall be payable for the day a Term Advance is made but not for the day of any payment on the amount paid if payment is received prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York time) at the place of payment. If any payment of principal of or interest on a Term Advance shall become due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of a principal payment, such extension of time shall be included in computing interest in connection with such payment.
2.14 Notification of Term Advances, Interest Rates and Prepayments. Promptly after receipt thereof, (a) the Administrative Agent will notify each Term Lender of the contents of each notice in respect of a prepayment of Term Loans under Section 2.6 and (b) the Administrative Agent shall notify each Term Lender of each Ratable Borrowing Notice, Rate Option Notice and repayment notice received by the Administrative Agent with respect to the Term Loan Facility. The Administrative Agent will notify each Lender under the Term Loan Facility of the interest rate applicable to each Term SOFR Ratable Advance under the Term Loan Facility promptly upon determination of such interest rate and will give each Lender prompt notice of each change in the Alternate Base Rate.
2.15 Lending Installations. Each Lender may book its Loans under the Term Loan Facility at any Lending Installation selected by such Lender and may change its Lending Installation from time to time. All terms of this Agreement shall apply to any such Lending Installation and the applicable Loans and Notes issued hereunder shall be deemed held by each Lender for the benefit of such Lending Installation. Each Lender may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in accordance with Article XIV, designate replacement
41
or additional Lending Installations through which Loans under the Term Loan Facility will be made by it and for whose account Loan payments under the Term Loan Facility are to be made.
2.16 Non-Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Borrower or a Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Administrative Agent prior to the date, or time of day in the case of same-day borrowings, on which it is scheduled to make payment to the Administrative Agent of (i) in the case of a Lender, the proceeds of a Loan or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, a payment of principal, interest or fees to the Administrative Agent for the account of any of the Lenders, that it does not intend to make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such payment has been made. The Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the amount of such payment available to the intended recipient in reliance upon such assumption. If such Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, has not in fact made such payment to the Administrative Agent, the recipient of such payment shall, on demand by the Administrative Agent, repay to the Administrative Agent the amount so made available together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the Administrative Agent until the date the Administrative Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to (x) in the case of payment by a Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate for such day or (y) in the case of payment by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan.
2.17 Extension of Term Loan Facility Maturity Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Borrower may request, but not more than once in each fiscal year of the Borrower and on no more than three occasions in the aggregate after the Amendment No. 5 Effective Date, an extension of the Term Loan Facility Maturity Date by submitting a request for an extension to the Administrative Agent (an “Extension Request”). The Extension Request must specify the new Term Loan Facility Maturity Date requested by the Borrower with respect thereto (the “Extension Date”), which shall be not more than five years after the effective date of the amendment to this Agreement establishing such Extension Date (the “Extension Effective Date”). The Extension Request shall be accompanied by a certificate, signed by the chief financial officer, controller, chief accounting officer or treasurer of the Borrower, stating that on the date of the Extension Request, no Default or Unmatured Default has occurred and is continuing and that all of the representations and warranties in Article VI are true and correct in all material respects (except (i) to the extent any such representation or warranty is stated to relate solely to an earlier date, in which case such representation or warranty shall have been true and correct in all material respects on and as of such earlier date and (ii) to the extent already qualified by materiality, in which case said representations and warranties are true and correct in all respects). On the Extension Effective Date, the Borrower shall deliver a certificate, signed by the chief financial officer, controller, chief accounting officer or treasurer of the Borrower, stating that on the Extension Effective Date, no Default or Unmatured Default has occurred and is continuing and that all of the representations and warranties in Article VI are true and correct in all material respects (except (i) to the extent any such representation or warranty is stated to relate solely to an earlier date, in which case such representation or warranty shall have been true and correct in all material respects on and as of such earlier date and (ii) to the extent already qualified by materiality, in which case said representations and warranties are true and correct in all respects). Promptly upon receipt of an Extension Request, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender under the Term Loan Facility of the contents thereof and shall request that each Lender under the Term Loan Facility approve the Extension Request (which approval may be given or withheld by each Lender in its sole discretion). If an Extension Request requests an
42
extension of the Term Loan Facility Maturity Date, a Lender may, at its election, approve or deny an extension of the Term Loan Facility Maturity Date (it being understood that no Lender shall be under any obligation to approve an extension of the Term Loan Facility Maturity Date). Each Lender approving an Extension Request shall deliver its written approval no later than 25 days following such Extension Request (or such longer or shorter period as shall be agreed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (such period, the “Extension Period”)). If written approval of the Required Lenders is not received by the Administrative Agent within such Extension Period, the Extension Request shall be denied. If such written approval of the Required Lenders under the Term Loan Facility is received by the Administrative Agent within such Extension Period, the Term Loan Facility Maturity Date shall be extended to the Extension Date, but only with respect to the Term Advances of the Lenders under the Term Loan Facility that have given such written approval. Except to the extent that a Lender that did not give its written approval to such Extension Request under the Term Loan Facility that has been approved in accordance with this Section 2.17 (each a “Term Declining Lender”) is replaced prior to its Term Declining Lender’s Termination Date as provided in Section 2.20 or such Term Declining Lender subsequently elects to extend the Term Loan Facility Maturity Date of its Term Advances, (a) the Current Term Advance Amount shall be decreased by the aggregate principal amount of Term Advances of each such Term Declining Lender on (and the Current Term Advance Amount shall decrease effective as of) the Term Loan Facility Maturity Date, as determined prior to such Extension Request (the “Term Declining Lender’s Termination Date”), or the date that the Term Advances of such Term Declining Lender are terminated in accordance with Section 2.21, as the case may be and (b) the Loans and all interest, fees and other amounts owed to such Term Declining Lender under the Term Loan Facility with respect to which it is a Term Declining Lender shall be paid in full on such Term Declining Lender’s Termination Date or as otherwise provided in Section 2.21.
2.18 Additional Term Loans.
(a) The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time after the Amendment No. 5 Effective Date, by notice to the Administrative Agent, request an increase in the Term Loan Facility (“Additional Term Loans”) (within the limitations herein provided), which notice shall set forth the amount of such requested borrowing of Additional Term Loans. The Additional Term Loans may be effected by having one or more New Term Lenders become Lenders under the Term Loan Facility and/or by having any one or more of the then existing Lenders under the Term Loan Facility (at their respective election in their sole discretion) that have been approved by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Company (such approval by the Administrative Agent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provide Additional Term Loans, provided that (i) each borrowing of Additional Term Loans shall be in an amount not less than $5,000,000, (ii) on the applicable Additional Term Loan Effective Date, after giving effect to the borrowing of Additional Term Loans, the Current Term Advance Amount shall not exceed the Term Loan Facility Limit, (iii) no Unmatured Default or Default exists or would exist after giving effect to the Facility Increase, (iv) all financial covenants set forth in Section 7.28 would be satisfied on a pro forma basis for the most recent determination period, after giving effect to such borrowing of Additional Term Loans as if it occurred on the last day of such determination period and (v) any Additional Term Loans shall be on the terms and pursuant to the documentation applicable to the Term Loans under the Term Loan Facility immediately prior to the borrowing of such Additional Term Loans.
43
(b) As a condition to the borrowing of Additional Term Loans, (i) the Borrower and each Additional Lender shall have executed and delivered a commitment and acceptance (the “Commitment and Acceptance”) substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto and the Administrative Agent shall have accepted and executed the same (such acceptance and execution by the Administrative Agent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); (ii) if requested by an Additional Lender, the Borrower shall have executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent the applicable Note payable to such Additional Lender (or its registered assigns); (iii) the Guarantors shall have consented in writing to the borrowing of Additional Term Loans and shall have agreed that their Guaranty Agreements continue in full force and effect with respect to the Term Loan Facility after giving effect to such borrowing of Additional Term Loans; (iv) the Borrower and each Additional Lender shall otherwise have executed and delivered such other instruments and documents as the Administrative Agent shall have reasonably requested in connection with such borrowing of Additional Term Loans; (v) if requested by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent opinions of counsel (substantially similar to the forms of opinions provided for in Section 5.1(viii), modified to apply to the borrowing of Additional Term Loans and to each Note, Commitment and Acceptance, and other documents executed and delivered in connection with such borrowing of Additional Term Loans); and (vi) a Ratable Borrowing Notice in accordance with Section 2.2.3 or as otherwise agreed among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Additional Lenders. The form and substance of the documents required under clauses (i) through (v) above shall be acceptable to the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion. The Administrative Agent shall promptly provide written notice to all of the Lenders hereunder of any borrowings of Additional Term Loans.
(c) Upon the effective date of any borrowing of Additional Term Loans pursuant to the provisions hereof (the “Additional Term Loan Effective Date”), which Additional Term Loan Effective Date shall be mutually agreed upon by the Borrower, each applicable Additional Lender and the Administrative Agent, then: (A) on such Additional Term Loan Effective Date, each Additional Lender under the Term Loan Facility shall advance its Additional Term Loan, which shall be combined with the other outstanding Term Advances and converted into one or more Term Advances under the Term Loan Facility; (B) on such Additional Term Loan Effective Date, the Borrower shall pay all costs (if any) payable under Section 3.4 resulting from the termination of any Term SOFR Ratable Advances under the Term Loan Facility prior to the last day of the applicable Interest Period; and (C) such Additional Lender under the Term Loan Facility shall have all of the rights and obligations of a Term Lender hereunder on and after such Additional Term Loan Effective Date.
(d) [Reserved].
(e) For the avoidance of doubt, any borrowing of Additional Term Loans pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.18 shall not require the consent of any Lender other than the applicable Additional Lenders. Nothing contained herein shall constitute, or otherwise be deemed to be, a commitment or agreement on the part of any Lender to make an Additional Term Loan hereunder at any time or a commitment or agreement on the part of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to give or grant any Lender the right to make an Additional Term Loan hereunder at any time.
44
2.19 Inability to Determine Rates. Subject to Section 2.22, if, on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any SOFR Loan:
(a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) (A) that “Adjusted Term SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof or (B) that “Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof, or
(b) the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a SOFR Loan or a conversion thereto or a continuation thereof that (A) Adjusted Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Term SOFR Ratable Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making and maintaining such Loan or (B) at any time, Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR will not adequately or fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making and maintaining such Loan, and the Required Lenders have provided notice of such determination to the Administrative Agent,
the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender.
Upon notice thereof by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, any obligation of the Lenders to make SOFR Loans, and any right of the Borrower to continue SOFR Loans or to convert ABR Loans to SOFR Loans, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans or affected Interest Periods) until the Administrative Agent (with respect to clause (b), at the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans or affected Interest Periods) or, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to ABR Loans in the amount specified therein and (ii) any outstanding affected SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted into ABR Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period. Upon any such conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.4. Subject to Section 2.22, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that Adjusted Term SOFR cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof on any given day, the interest rate on ABR Loans shall be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to clause (iii) of the definition of “Alternate Base Rate” until the Administrative Agent revokes such determination.
2.20 Replacement of a Lender. If a Lender (an “Affected Lender”) (a) sustains or incurs a loss or expense or reduction of income and requests reimbursement therefor from the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5, (b) determines that maintenance of any of its SOFR Loans at a suitable Lending Installation would violate any applicable Law or it is otherwise impossible for such Lender (or its Lending Installation) to make, maintain or fund its SOFR Loans and so notifies the Administrative Agent, or (c) is a Term Declining Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, the Borrower may on or after the date on which the Borrower receives such request (in the case of clause (a) above) or after the date on which the Administrative Agent gives the Borrower notice of the Administrative Agent’s receipt of the notice from such Lender (in the case of clause (b) above) or at any time prior to such Term Declining Lender’s Termination Date (in the case of clause (c) above) or at any time after the date that it is
45
determined that such Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender (in the case of clause (c) above) notify the Administrative Agent and such Affected Lender that a Replacement Lender designated by the Borrower in the notice has agreed to replace such Lender with respect to its outstanding Term Loans, provided that (i) any Replacement Lender shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); (ii) any assignment to a Replacement Lender shall be subject to Section 13.3; and (iii) the Borrower shall have paid any amounts due pursuant to Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5 to the Affected Lender to be replaced on or before such replacement. The Affected Lender to be replaced shall assign, as applicable, its Term Loans hereunder to the Replacement Lender pursuant to the procedures for assignments contained in Section 13.3 (except as to any minimum amount requirements set forth therein) and shall receive, concurrently with such assignments, payment from such Replacement Lender of an amount equal to all outstanding amounts payable to such Affected Lender with respect to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans held by such Affected Lender, all interest thereon to the date of the assignment, all accrued fees to the date of such assignment and any amounts payable under Section 3.4 with respect to any payment of any Term SOFR Ratable Loan resulting from such assignment. Such Affected Lender shall not be responsible for the payment to the Administrative Agent of the fee provided for in Section 13.3.2, which fee shall be paid by such Replacement Lender. In the case of an assignment by (i) a Term Declining Lender under this Section 2.20, the Replacement Lender that is the assignee of such Term Declining Lender shall agree at the time of such assignment to the extension to the Extension Date of the Term Loan Facility Maturity Date with respect to the Term Loan Facility, which agreement shall be set forth in a written instrument delivered and satisfactory to the Borrower and (in its reasonable discretion) the Administrative Agent or (ii) a Non-Consenting Lender under this Section 2.20, the Replacement Lender that is the assignee of the Non-Consenting Lender shall agree at the time of such assignment to the amendment, consent or waiver which such Non-Consenting Lender has not consented to, which agreement shall be set forth in a written instrument delivered and satisfactory to the Borrower and (in its reasonable discretion) the Administrative Agent.
2.21 Termination of Term Loans of Non-Consenting Lender. At any time prior to the replacement of a Term Declining Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to Section 2.20, the Borrower may, upon not less than 15 days’ (or such shorter period as shall be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior notice to the Administrative Agent and such Term Declining Lender or Non-Consenting Lender, as the case may be, prepay the Term Loans of such Term Declining Lender or Non-Consenting Lender in accordance with the provisions of this Article II, as of a Business Day (in the case of the prepayment of the Term Loans of a Term Declining Lender, prior to the Term Declining Lender’s Termination Date) set forth in such notice. In the event of such prepayment of Term Loans of a Term Declining Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, as applicable, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent on the date of such prepayment of Term Loans, for the account of such Term Declining Lender or Non-Consenting Lender, as applicable, all Loans and other sums payable to such Term Declining Lender or Non-Consenting Lender, as applicable, under the Term Loan Facility and all amounts (if any) payable to such Term Declining Lender or Non-Consenting Lender, as applicable, under Section 3.4 under the Term Loan Facility by reason of such payment. Such Term Declining Lender or Non-Consenting Lender, as applicable, shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4, 3.5 and 10.6(b) to the extent such Term Declining Lender’s or Non-Consenting Lender’s, as applicable, entitlement to such benefit arose out of its position as a Lender under the Term Loan Facility prior to the prepayment of its Term Loans.
46
2.22 Benchmark Replacement Setting.
(a) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (a) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (b) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. If the Benchmark Replacement is Daily Simple SOFR, all interest payments will be payable on a quarterly basis.
(b) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
(c) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower of (x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 2.22(d) and (y) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.22, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.22.
(d) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor
47
for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.
(e) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Term SOFR Ratable Advance or Daily Simple SOFR Advance of, conversion to or continuation of Term SOFR Ratable Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to (A) a Daily Simple SOFR Advance so long as Daily Simple SOFR is not the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event or (B) an ABR Loan if Daily Simple SOFR is the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Alternate Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Alternate Base Rate.

INCREASED COSTS; TAXES
INCREASED COSTS; TAXES
3.1 Increased Costs. If any Change in Law shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (or its Lending Installation), shall impose on any Lender (or its Lending Installation) or the Administrative Agent any other condition (other than Taxes) affecting its Term SOFR Ratable Advances or its obligation to make Term SOFR Ratable Advances, or shall subject such Lender to any Taxes (other than Indemnified Taxes and Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender (or its Lending Installation) of making or maintaining any Term SOFR Ratable Advance, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender (or its Lending Installation) or the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or under its Note with respect thereto by an amount deemed by such Lender or the Administrative Agent to be material, then, within 30 days after demand by such Lender, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction; provided, however, that at such time such Lender shall be generally assessing such amounts on a non-discriminatory basis against borrowers under agreements having provisions similar to this Agreement.
48
For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 3.1 shall not apply to Indemnified Taxes or Excluded Taxes.
3.2 Capital Adequacy. If any Lender shall have determined that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any Lending Installation of such Lender regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity, as applicable) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, within 30 days after demand by such Lender, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction; provided, however, that at such time such Lender shall be generally assessing such amounts on a non-discriminatory basis against borrowers under agreements having provisions similar to this Section. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Section 3.2 shall not apply to Taxes, which shall be governed exclusively by Section 3.1 and Section 3.5.
3.3 [Reserved].
3.4 Funding Indemnification. If (a) (i) any payment of a Term SOFR Ratable Advance occurs on a date which is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, whether because of acceleration, prepayment or otherwise, or (ii) a Term SOFR Ratable Advance is not made on the date specified by the Borrower, or (iii) any Term Advance is not continued as or converted into a Term SOFR Ratable Advance, on the date specified by the Borrower, in each case, for any reason other than default by the Lenders or (b) the assignment of any Term SOFR Ratable Loan occurs on a date which is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.20, then the Borrower will indemnify each applicable Lender for any loss or cost (including any reasonable internal administrative costs but excluding any loss of margin, any lost profits and any loss, cost or expense resulting from the failure of such Lender to make a Loan as a result of a default by such Lender) incurred by it resulting therefrom, including, without limitation, any loss or cost in liquidating or employing deposits acquired to fund or maintain such Term SOFR Ratable Advance. Determination of amounts payable under this Section 3.4 in connection with a Term SOFR Ratable Loan shall be calculated as though each Lender funded its Term SOFR Ratable Loan through the purchase of a deposit of the type and maturity corresponding to the deposit used as a reference in determining the interest rate applicable to such Loan, whether in fact that is the case or not.
49
3.5 Taxes.
(a) Unless otherwise required by applicable law, any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes, provided that if any applicable withholding agent shall be required by applicable law to deduct any Taxes from such payments, then (i) to the extent such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after all required deductions of Taxes (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.5) have been made, the Administrative Agent or Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the applicable withholding agent shall make such deductions, and (iii) the applicable withholding agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant governmental authority in accordance with applicable law. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by a Loan Party to a governmental authority pursuant to this Section 3.5, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such governmental authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(b) The Borrower hereby agrees to pay any present or future stamp, court or documentary Taxes and any other intangible, recording, filing or any similar excise or property Taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, from the receipt or perfection of a security interest under, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document (“Other Taxes”).
(c) The Borrower agrees unconditionally to indemnify and save the Administrative Agent and the Lenders harmless from and against any or all Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.5), including any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally asserted by the relevant governmental authority. Such indemnification payments by the Borrower shall be made within 20 days of the date the Administrative Agent or such Lender makes demand therefor pursuant to Section 3.6.
(d) (1) Any Lender that is eligible for an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate or withholding. In addition, any Lender, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Each Lender shall, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such documentation (including any specific documentation required below in this Section 3.5(d)) obsolete, expired or inaccurate in any material respect, deliver promptly to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent updated or other appropriate documentation (including any new
50
documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its inability to do so. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding three sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 3.5(d)(2)(A), (B) and (D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3.5, a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form that such Lender is not legally eligible to deliver. Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(2) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:
(A) Each Lender that is not a Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), two properly completed and duly executed originals of IRS Form W 9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax;
(B) Each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement) (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
(i) two properly completed and duly executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor forms) claiming eligibility for the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, and such other documentation as required under the Code;
(ii) two properly completed and duly signed originals of IRS Form W 8ECI (or any successor forms);
(iii) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) two properly completed and duly signed certificates substantially in the form of Exhibit I-1 (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) two properly completed and duly signed originals of IRS Form W 8BEN or W-8BEN-E; or
(iv) to the extent a Non-U.S. Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W 8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W 8ECI, IRS W 8BEN or W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I-2 or Exhibit I-3, IRS Form W 9, and/
51
or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Non-U.S. Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Non-U.S. Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
(C) any Non-U.S. Lender shall, to the extent it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed 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 the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to 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 the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Xxxxxx’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. For purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this agreement.
(e) Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to deliver to the Loan Parties and to any successor Administrative Agent any documentation provided by such Xxxxxx to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 3.5(d).
(f) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.5 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.5), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 3.5 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant governmental authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party incurred in connection with obtaining such refund, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to
52
this Section 3.5 (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant governmental authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such governmental authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.5(f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 3.5(f) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
3.6 Lender Statements: Survival of Indemnity. To the extent reasonably possible, each Lender shall designate an alternate Lending Installation with respect to its applicable SOFR Loans to reduce any liability of the Borrower to such Lender under Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 and 3.5 or to avoid the unavailability of the applicable SOFR Loans, so long as such designation is not, in the judgment of such Lender, disadvantageous to such Lender. Each Lender shall deliver a written statement of such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) as to the amount due, if any, under Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5. Such written statement shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculations upon which such Lender determined such amount (which calculations shall be made in good faith) and shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of manifest error. Determination of amounts payable under such Sections in connection with a SOFR Loan shall be calculated as though each Lender funded its SOFR Loan through the purchase of a deposit of the type and maturity corresponding to the deposit used as a reference in determining the interest rate applicable to such Loan, whether in fact that is the case or not. Unless otherwise provided herein, the amount specified in the written statement of any Lender shall be payable within 30 days after receipt by the Borrower of such written statement. The obligations of the Borrower under Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 and 3.5 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Borrower shall not be required to make any payments to any Lender pursuant to Section 3.1, 3.2 or 3.4 relating to any period of time which is greater than 90 days prior to such Person’s request for additional payment except for retroactive application of any law, rule or regulation, in which case (a) the Borrower is required to make such payments so long as such Person makes a request therefor within 90 days after the public announcement of such retroactive application and (b) the 90-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

The Borrower and the Company each represent and warrant to the Lenders that:
6.1 Existence and Standing. Each of the Borrower and the Company is (i) a corporation, duly and properly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation and (ii) has all requisite authority to conduct its business in each jurisdiction in which its business is conducted, except with respect to clause (ii) as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

6.2 Authorization and Validity. Each Loan Party has the power and authority and legal right to execute and deliver the Loan Documents to which it is a party and to perform its obligations thereunder. The execution and delivery by each Loan Party of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been duly authorized by proper corporate (or, in the case of Loan Parties that are not corporations, other) proceedings, and the Loan Documents constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the applicable Loan Parties enforceable against them in accordance with their terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar Laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or
56

68
the next Compliance Certificate pursuant to Section 7.1(iv) (unless, on or prior to the time of such delivery, the Borrower satisfies the requirements of Non-Designation of such Wholly-Owned Subsidiary in accordance with Section 10.13) in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.16. Such designation of a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Company as a Designated Guarantor shall be effected by the delivery by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent of each of the following:

(ii) A Supplemental Guaranty duly executed and delivered by such Designated Guarantor;
(iii) Documents with respect to such Designated Guarantor addressing the requirements set forth in clauses (iv), (v) and (vi) of Section 5.1; and

7.17 Subordinated Indebtedness. Except as otherwise permitted in the last sentence of this Section 7.17, no Loan Party will make any amendment or modification to any Subordinated Loan Document, without providing at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent shall agree), and obtaining the prior written consent of the Required Lenders thereto. The Loan Parties may amend or modify any Subordinated Loan Document without obtaining the consent of the Required Lenders if after giving effect to such amendment or modification (a) the subordination provisions therein would be permitted under this Agreement, and (b) the covenants governing such Subordinated Indebtedness affected by the amendment are no more onerous to the borrower of such Subordinated Indebtedness than those contained under this Agreement and the Administrative Agent shall have received an officer’s certificate to such effect by an Authorized Officer of the Company.
7.18 Intercompany Loans, Loans from Non-Loan Parties. The Borrower may make Intercompany Loans available to the Guarantors using proceeds of the Loans.

Each Intercompany Loan shall be subordinated to the Guarantors’ obligations under the Guaranty Agreements pursuant to the terms of the Guaranty Agreement and shall either be a demand loan or become due and payable
69
upon the acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 9.1 after the occurrence of a Default hereunder. Any Intercompany Note, Intercompany Agreement or book-entry claim may in turn be assigned by the Borrower to another Guarantor or any other member of the Toll Group as a capital contribution. The Company shall establish and maintain such books and records relating to Intercompany Loans and other Investments in the Designated Guarantors as are required to enable it and the Administrative Agent to trace advances and repayments of principal of Intercompany Loans and other investments in the Guarantors.
7.19 Appraisals.
7.19.1 Procedures. The Loan Parties shall cooperate with the Lenders and the appraisers in making appraisals of the Borrowing Base Assets which the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, may from time to time request. The Borrower may, within ten (10) days following any such request by the Administrative Agent, specify which other of the Borrowing Base Assets it requests to have similarly appraised. Following the first to occur of (A) completion of all appraisals requested at any one time by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower under this Section 7.19, and (B) a date specified by the Administrative Agent no earlier than 45 days after the last request for an appraisal has (or could have) been made by the Borrower in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, the appraised values of all Borrowing Base Assets which have been appraised (rather than their book value) shall be used for purposes of applying the covenant contained in Section 7.28.2. The Required Lenders shall have the right to request appraisals pursuant to this Section 7.19 not more than two times in any period of twelve consecutive months, and shall specify in such request all of the Borrowing Base Assets for which the Lenders desire appraisals.
7.19.2 Costs. Any appraisals by the Administrative Agent shall be at the Lenders’ expense (in the proportion of their respective Term Loan Ratable Shares), unless using such appraised values would result in the covenant contained in Section 7.28.2 being violated, in which event all such appraisals shall be at the Borrower’s expense; provided, that, in addition to the foregoing, if at any time that the Borrowing Base provisions set forth in Section 7.28.2 are in effect because both the Leverage Ratio is above the threshold set forth therein as of the end of the most recent fiscal quarter for which financial statements have been delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 7.1(i) or (ii) and the Company does not have an Investment Grade Rating from at least two (2) Rating Agencies as of the end of such fiscal quarter, the amount of the Borrowing Base (determined as of the end of such fiscal quarter and set forth on the Borrowing Base Certificate required to be delivered pursuant to Section 7.1(viii)) is not greater than the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Indebtedness then outstanding (excluding outstanding Alternative Letters of Credit and other outstanding Letters of Credit or similar arrangements to the extent collateralized by cash, Marketable Securities or Cash Equivalents) by at least an amount equal to 10% of the aggregate principal amount of such Senior Indebtedness then outstanding (with Senior Indebtedness being calculated in accordance with Section 7.28.2), then the Administrative Agent, at the written request of the Required Lenders, shall have the right to request appraisals of a selection of Borrowing Base Assets that constitute (x) Borrowing Base Assets with the highest individual book values and (y) Borrowing Base Assets that in the aggregate constitute 50% of the aggregate book value of all Borrowing Base Assets (both (x) and (y) to be determined by the Company in good faith in consultation with the Administrative Agent) (such assets, the “Borrowing Base Selected Assets”) not more than once in any twelve consecutive months with all such appraisals conducted at the Borrower’s
70
expense; provided, further, that if the aggregate appraised value of the Borrowing Base Selected Assets is less than the aggregate book value of the Borrowing Base Selected Assets as set forth in the above-referenced Borrowing Base Certificate, then the Administrative Agent shall have the right, at the written request of the Required Lenders (but only so long as the Borrowing Base provisions set forth in Section 7.28.2 are in effect as provided above) to request appraisals of additional Borrowing Base Assets on the same basis as provided in clauses (x) and (y) above that in the aggregate, together with the Borrowing Base Selected Assets, constitute 80% of the aggregate book value of all Borrowing Base Assets (such additional Borrowing Base Assets to be determined by the Company in good faith in consultation with the Administrative Agent as provided above and defined herein as the “Additional Borrowing Base Selected Assets”) not more than once in any twelve consecutive months with all such appraisals conducted at the Borrower’s expense; provided, further, that if the aggregate appraised value of the Borrowing Base Selected Assets and the Additional Borrowing Base Selected Assets is less than ninety percent (90%) of the aggregate book value of such assets as set forth on the above-referenced Borrowing Base Certificate, then the Administrative Agent shall have the right, at the written request of the Required Lenders (but only so long as the Borrowing Base provisions set forth in Section 7.28.2 are in effect as provided above), to request appraisals of all remaining Borrowing Base Assets at the Borrower’s expense, but no more than once in any twelve consecutive months; provided, further, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Default or Unmatured Default shall have occurred and be continuing as a result of a breach of Section 7.28.2, then all appraisals under this Section 7.19 shall be at the Borrower’s expense.
7.19.3 Appraisers. Any appraisals requested at any one time pursuant to this Section 7.19 shall be made by one or more appraisers for all properties (there shall be no more than one appraiser for each property) located in each state selected by the Borrower from a list of at least three appraisers submitted by the Administrative Agent with respect to such state at the time it makes its request. All appraisers submitted by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 7.19 shall be appraisers who have been approved by the Required Lenders and the Borrower (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and in either event have committed to prepare appraisals within 45 days following the date such appraisals are requested.
7.20 Mortgage Subsidiaries. The Company shall notify the Administrative Agent of the creation of any Mortgage Subsidiary within seven (7) Business Days after such creation. Such notice shall include the name, state of formation and ownership of the capital stock or other ownership interests thereof.

ACCELERATION, WAIVERS, AMENDMENTS AND REMEDIES
9.1 Acceleration. If any Default described in Section 8.5 or 8.6 occurs and is continuing with respect to the Borrower or the Company the Obligations shall immediately become due and payable without any election or action on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender. If any other Default occurs and is continuing, the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with the written consent of the Required Lenders) may declare the Obligations to be due and payable, whereupon the Obligations shall become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which the Borrower hereby expressly waives.
If, within 30 days after acceleration of the maturity of the Obligations as a result of any Default (other than any Default as described in Section 8.5 or 8.6 with respect to the Borrower or the Company) and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the Obligations due shall have been obtained or entered, the Required Lenders (in their sole discretion) shall so direct, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower, rescind and annul such acceleration.
9.2 Amendments. Subject to the provisions of this Article IX, the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with the consent in writing of the Required Lenders), the Borrower and the Company may enter into agreements for the purpose of adding or modifying any provisions to the Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or the Borrower hereunder or waiving any Default hereunder; provided, however, that no such agreement or any waiver shall, (a) without the consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby:
(i) Forgive all or any portion of the principal amount of any Loan, or reduce the rate, whether by modification of the Pricing Schedule or otherwise (it being understood that any change to the definition of Leverage Ratio or in the component definitions thereof shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest for purposes of this clause), or extend the time for payment of or forgive interest or fees thereon; or
(ii) Extend the Term Loan Facility Maturity Date under the Term Loan Facility (except as agreed to by such Lender pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.17), or increase the amount of Term Loans of any Lender (except as agreed to by such Xxxxxx);
or (b) without the consent of all Lenders:
(iii) Permit the Borrower to assign its rights under this Agreement; or
(iv) [Reserved]; or
(v) Change, directly or indirectly, the percentage specified in the definition of “Required Lenders,” or change any provision that calls for consent, approval or other action by the Required Lenders, all Lenders or any particular affected Lender; or
(vi) Amend Section 2.10(b), this Section 9.2 or Section 12.2; or
79
(vii) Release any Guarantor (except for the release of a Designated Guarantor as provided in Section 10.13).
No amendment of any provision of this Agreement relating to the Administrative Agent shall be effective without its written consent. The Administrative Agent may waive payment of the fee required under Section 13.3.2 without obtaining the consent of any other party to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency (including amendments, supplements or waivers to any of the Loan Documents or related documents executed by any Loan Party or any other Subsidiary in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document if such amendment, supplement or waiver is delivered in order to cause such Loan Documents or related documents to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents) so long as, in each case, the Lenders shall have received at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice thereof and the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five (5) Business Days of the date of such notice to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that the Required Lenders object to such amendment.
9.3 Preservation of Rights. No delay or omission of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent to exercise any right under the Loan Documents shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or an acquiescence therein, and the making of a Loan notwithstanding the existence of a Default or the inability of the Borrower to satisfy the conditions precedent to such Loan shall not constitute any waiver or acquiescence. Any single or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, and no waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Loan Documents whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by the Lenders required pursuant to Section 9.2, and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth. All remedies contained in the Loan Documents or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall, subject to the terms hereof, be available to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders until the Obligations have been paid in full.
ARTICLE X
GENERAL PROVISIONS
GENERAL PROVISIONS

80
Administrative Agent and the Lenders relating to the subject matter thereof (other than the Administrative Agent’s Fee Letter).
10.5 Several Obligations Benefits of This Agreement. The respective obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint or joint and several and no Lender shall be the partner or agent of any other (except to the extent to which the Administrative Agent is authorized to act as such). The failure of any Lender to perform any of its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender from any of its obligations hereunder. This Agreement shall not be construed so as to confer any right or benefit upon any Person other than the parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that the parties hereto expressly agree that the Arrangers (and, in the case of the provisions of Section 10.6(b), any other Person indemnified by the Borrower thereunder) shall enjoy the benefits of the provisions of Sections 10.6(b) and 10.10 to the extent specifically set forth therein and shall have the right to enforce such provisions on its, his or her own behalf and in its, his or her own name to the same extent as if it, he or she were a party to this Agreement.
10.6 Expenses; Indemnification.
(a) The Borrower shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of attorneys for the Administrative Agent (other than internal counsel) and (but only with the Borrower’s prior approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) other advisors and professionals engaged by the Administrative Agent) paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery, syndication, amendment, modification, and administration of the Loan Documents. In addition, the Borrower also agrees to pay for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and each Lender incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of rights under the Loan Documents (including but not limited to reasonable legal fees and expenses of counsel, provided that legal fees and legal expenses shall be limited to the fees and expenses of one legal counsel plus, if necessary, one special counsel for each relevant specialty and one local counsel per jurisdiction; provided, that, in the event of any actual or potential conflict of interest, the Borrower shall be liable for the fees and expenses of one additional counsel for each person or group of persons subject to such conflict).
(b) The Borrower hereby further agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, each Lender and their respective Related Parties (each an “Indemnitee”) against all losses, claims, obligations, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, liabilities, costs, expenses and disbursements (including, without limitation, all reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys and other expenses of litigation or preparation therefor whether or not the Administrative Agent, any Arranger or any Lender is a party thereto, provided that legal fees and legal expenses shall be limited to the fees and expenses of one legal counsel and one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction for all such Indemnitees, taken as a whole; provided, that, in the event of any actual or potential conflict of interest, the Borrower shall be liable for the fees and expenses of one additional counsel for each person or group of persons subject to such conflict) (“Losses”) which any of them may pay or incur arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the transactions contemplated hereby or the direct or indirect application or proposed application of the proceeds of any Loan hereunder including any Losses arising out of any actual or alleged presence or Release of Regulated Substances at, on,
81
under or emanating from any Property, or any liability related to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries under any Environmental Laws except to the extent that they (i) are determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, (ii) arose from a material breach of the obligations of such Indemnitee’s or any of its Related Parties’ (except the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such) obligations under any Loan Document (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment) or (iii) arose from any claim, actions, suits, inquiries, litigation, investigation or proceeding that does not involve an act or omission of the Loan Parties and is brought by an Indemnitee against another Indemnitee (other than any claim, actions, suits, inquiries, litigation, investigation or proceeding against any Agent, Arranger or the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such). The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 10.6 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. This Section 10.6(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.
10.7 Numbers of Documents. All statements, notices, closing documents, and requests hereunder shall (if the Administrative Agent so requests) be furnished to the Administrative Agent with sufficient counterparts so that the Administrative Agent may furnish one to each of the Lenders.
10.8 Accounting. Except as provided to the contrary herein, all accounting terms used herein shall be interpreted and all accounting determinations hereunder shall be made in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, as in effect from time to time (“GAAP”); provided, however, if at any time any change in GAAP would affect the computation of any financial ratio or requirement set forth in any Loan Document (including for pricing purposes), and either the Company or the Required Lenders shall so request, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Company shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP (subject to the approval of the Required Lenders); provided that, until so amended, (i) such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein and (ii) the Company shall provide to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders financial statements and other documents required under this Agreement or as reasonably requested hereunder setting forth a reconciliation between calculations of such ratio or requirement made before and after giving effect to such change in GAAP. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any obligation of a Person under a lease (whether existing now or entered into in the future) that is not (or would not be) required to be classified and accounted for as a capital lease on the balance sheet of such Person under GAAP as in effect on December 31, 2018 shall not be treated as a capital lease solely as a result of the adoption of any changes in, or changes in the application of, GAAP after December 31, 2018 and, as a result, leases shall continue to be classified and accounted for on a basis consistent with their treatment on December 31, 2018, notwithstanding any change in GAAP relating thereto, unless the Company, the Borrower and the Required Lenders shall enter into a mutually acceptable amendment addressing such changes, as provided for above.
10.9 Severability of Provisions. Any provision in any Loan Document that is held to be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid without affecting the remaining provisions in that
82
jurisdiction or the operation, enforceability, or validity of that provision in any other jurisdiction, and to this end the provisions of all Loan Documents are declared to be severable.
10.10 Nonliability of Lenders. The relationship between the Borrower on the one hand and the Lenders and the Administrative Agent on the other hand shall be solely that of borrower and lender. Neither the Administrative Agent, any Arranger nor any Lender shall have any fiduciary responsibilities to the Borrower, the Company or any other Loan Party. Neither the Administrative Agent, any Arranger nor any Lender undertakes any responsibility to the Borrower, the Company or any other Loan Party to review or inform the Borrower, the Company or any other Loan Party of any matter in connection with any phase of the Borrower’s, the Company’s or any other Loan Party’s business or operations. The Borrower and the Company agree that neither the Administrative Agent, any Arranger nor any Lender shall have liability to the Borrower, the Company or any other Loan Party (whether sounding in tort, contract or otherwise) for losses suffered by the Borrower, the Company or any other Loan Party in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, the transactions contemplated and the relationship established by the Loan Documents, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith, unless it is determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that such losses resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party from which recovery is sought. Neither the Administrative Agent, any Arranger nor any Lender shall have any liability (whether sounding in tort, contract or otherwise) with respect to, and the Borrower, the Company and each other Loan Party hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue for, any special, indirect or consequential damages suffered by the Borrower, the Company or any other Loan Party (or suffered by any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors or representatives) in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby.
10.11 Confidentiality. Each of the Agents and the Lenders 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, consultants, service providers 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 purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority); (c) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (d) to any other party to this Agreement; (e) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 10.11 (or as may otherwise be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower), to any Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective Eligible Assignee or pledgee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement; (f) with the written consent of the Borrower; (g) to the extent such Information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.11; (h) to any state, federal or foreign authority or examiner or self-regulatory body (including the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any other similar organization) (in which case such Person shall, except with respect to any audit or examination conducted by bank accountants or any governmental bank regulatory authority exercising examination or regulatory authority, promptly notify the Borrower, in advance, to the extent lawfully permitted to do so); (i) to any rating agency when required by it (it being understood that, prior to any such disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake to preserve the confidentiality of any Information relating to the Loan Parties received by it from such Lender); (j) in connection with the exercise
83
of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder to the extent reasonably necessary in connection with such enforcement or any such litigation or proceeding to which the Arrangers, the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any of its Affiliates may be a party to the extent reasonably necessary; or (k) to any actual or prospective party (or its managers, administrators, trustees, partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives) to any swap derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the Borrower and its Obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder or such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor (so long as such actual or prospective contractual counterparty or professional advisor to such contractual counterparty agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 10.11). In addition, the Agents and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Agents and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Term Loans. For the purposes of this Section 10.11, “Information” means all information received from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or its or their business, other than any such information that is publicly available to any Agent or any Lender prior to disclosure by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.11. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 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.
10.12 Nonreliance. Each Lender hereby represents that it is not relying on or looking to any margin stock (as defined in Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) for the repayment of the Loans provided for herein.
10.13 Conversion and Non-Designation of Designated Guarantors.
(a) The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, request that a Designated Guarantor be released from its Guaranty Agreement and thereby be converted to a Non-Loan Party (a “Conversion”) or that a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Company not be required to be designated as a Designated Guarantor (a “Non-Designation”), on and subject to the following conditions:
(i) No Default or Unmatured Default shall exist (except any Default or Unmatured Default that will be cured as a result of such Conversion or Non-Designation) and no other Default or Unmatured Default will exist as a result of such Conversion or Non-Designation.
(ii) In the case of a Conversion, the stockholders’ equity in such Designated Guarantor and in the case of a Non-Designation, the stockholders’ equity in such Wholly-Owned Subsidiary, shall not exceed five percent (5%) of the total consolidated stockholders’ equity in all Loan Parties before giving effect to such Conversion or Non-Designation. Determination of such percentages of stockholders’ equity shall be made as of the end of the most recent fiscal quarter of the Company for which the financial
84
statements required under Sections 7.1(i) or (ii) (as applicable) are available at the time of such request for Conversion or Non-Designation.
(iii) The stockholders’ equity in all Designated Guarantors that the Borrower requests to be converted into Non-Loan Parties in any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters and in all Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries of the Company that the Borrower requests not to be designated as Designated Guarantors during such four-quarter period shall not in the aggregate exceed ten percent (10%) (or twenty percent (20%) if and to the extent necessary to permit the Borrower to cure a Default by Conversion of a Designated Guarantor) of the lowest total consolidated stockholders’ equity in all Loan Parties at the end of any fiscal quarter during such four-quarter period. Determination of such aggregate amounts of stockholders’ equity of such applicable Designated Guarantors or Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries shall be made by adding the amounts of stockholders’ equity of each such applicable Designated Guarantor and Wholly-Owned Subsidiary (as determined at the time of request for Conversion of such Designated Guarantor or Non-Designation of such Wholly-Owned Subsidiary in accordance with clause (ii) above).
(iv) The stockholders’ equity in all Designated Guarantors that the Borrower requests to be converted into Non-Loan Parties after the Amendment No. 5 Effective Date and in all Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries of the Company that the Borrower requests not to be designated as Designated Guarantors after the Amendment No. 5 Effective Date (in each case excluding Non-Loan Parties as of the Amendment No. 5 Effective Date) shall not in the aggregate exceed forty percent (40%) of the total consolidated stockholders’ equity in all Loan Parties. Determination of such aggregate amounts of stockholders’ equity of such applicable Designated Guarantors or Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries shall be made by adding the amounts of stockholders’ equity of each such applicable Designated Guarantor and Wholly-Owned Subsidiary. Determinations of such stockholders’ equity shall be made as of the end of the most recent fiscal quarter of the Company for which financial statements required under Section 7.1(i) or (ii) (as applicable) are available at the time of the last such request for Conversion or Non-Designation.
(v) The disposition by the Company of such Designated Guarantor (in the case of a Conversion) or Wholly-Owned Subsidiary (in the case of a Non-Designation) would not have a material effect on the homebuilding business of the other Loan Parties, operationally or otherwise.
(vi) The Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, together with the Borrower’s notice requesting the Conversion of a Designated Guarantor or Non-Designation of a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary, a certificate of the Borrower and the Company, certifying that the conditions set forth in clauses (i) through (v) above are satisfied with respect to such Conversion or Non-Designation, together with (A) in the case of a Conversion, a Compliance Certificate, as of the end of the most recent fiscal quarter for which financial statements are available, prepared taking into account such Conversion and (B) in any case, such other evidence in support of the satisfaction of such conditions as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request.
85
(vii) Such Conversion or Non-Designation shall comply with the provisions of Section 10.13(d).
Upon the Administrative Agent’s determination (which may be made solely by relying on the certificate delivered pursuant to clause (vi) above) that the foregoing conditions with respect to the Conversion of a Designated Guarantor have been satisfied, the Administrative Agent shall (except as otherwise provided in Section 10.13(b)) promptly (1) execute and deliver, for and on behalf of itself and the Lenders, a release of such Designated Guarantor from its Guaranty Agreement, whereupon such Designated Guarantor shall cease to be a Designated Guarantor and Loan Party and shall be a Non-Loan Party, and (2) give notice to the Lenders of the Conversion of such Designated Guarantor. Upon the Administrative Agent’s determination (which may be made solely by relying on the certificate delivered pursuant to clause (vi) above) that the foregoing conditions with respect to the Non-Designation of a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Company have been satisfied, the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice of such Non-Designation to the Borrower and the Lenders.
(b) Notwithstanding the satisfaction of the conditions for Conversion of a Designated Guarantor pursuant to Section 10.13(a), if requested by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent may elect, in its sole discretion, not to release such Designated Guarantor from its guaranty, in which event such Designated Guarantor shall remain a Guarantor but shall not constitute a Loan Party hereunder for purposes of compliance with the representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Agreement (including, without limitation, the covenants contained in Section 7.28) and the provisions of Article VIII. If the Administrative Agent so elects not to release such Designated Guarantor, it shall so notify the Borrower and the Lenders, and the Required Lenders may at any time direct the Administrative Agent to release such Designated Guarantor from its guaranty.
(c) If prior to the release of a Designated Guarantor from its guaranty, the Borrower determines and certifies to the Administrative Agent that the inclusion of such Designated Guarantor as a Loan Party hereunder for all purposes (including, without limitation, compliance with the covenants contained in Section 7.28) would not result in a Default or Unmatured Default, the Borrower may request the Administrative Agent to reinstate such Designated Guarantor as a Loan Party hereunder for all purposes. As a condition of any such reinstatement, the Administrative Agent may request the Borrower to deliver to the Administrative Agent evidence in support of the Borrower’s certification, including, without limitation, a Compliance Certificate with respect to the most recent fiscal quarter for which financial statements of the Company are available, reflecting the inclusion of such Designated Guarantor as a Loan Party and evidencing compliance with the covenants hereunder. Upon the Administrative Agent’s approval of the Borrower’s certification and supporting evidence (which approval may be made solely by relying on such certification and supporting evidence), the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that such Designated Guarantor has been so reinstated, and from and after the delivery of such notice, such Designated Guarantor shall again be a Loan Party hereunder for all purposes.
(d) At all times after the Borrower has satisfied the conditions of Conversion of a Designated Guarantor as provided in Section 10.13(a) but prior to the release of such Designated Guarantor from its guaranty, all reports required to be furnished under Section 7.1 hereof or any other provisions of this Agreement shall exclude such Designated Guarantor as a Loan Party
86
hereunder unless and until such Designated Guarantor is reinstated as a Loan Party as provided in this Section 10.13.
(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 10.13 to the contrary, if, after a Subsidiary has been converted into a Non-Loan Party or, at the request of the Borrower, has not been designated as a Designated Guarantor (in each case in accordance with the above provisions of this Section 10.13), the Borrower thereafter designates such Subsidiary as a Designated Guarantor (and such Subsidiary becomes a Designated Guarantor), such Subsidiary shall not, so long as such Subsidiary is a Designated Guarantor, be considered a Non-Loan Party for purposes of the above calculations.
10.14 PATRIOT Act. Each Lender that is subject to the PATRIOT Act and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Loan Parties, which information includes the name and address of the Loan Parties and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Loan Parties in accordance with the PATRIOT Act.
10.15 Acknowledgment and Consent to Bail-in of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Lender that is an Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution;
(b) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable;
(i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document;
(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.
10.16 Acknowledgment Regarding any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations
87
promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States).
In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.
ARTICLE XI
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
11.1 Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints Truist to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and, other than as expressly set forth herein, neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party hereto shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.
11.2 Administrative Agent Individually.
88
(a) The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.
(b) Each Lender understands that the Person serving as Administrative Agent, acting in its individual capacity, and its Affiliates (collectively, the “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 11.2 as “Activities”) and may engage in the Activities with or on behalf of one or more of the Loan Parties or their respective Affiliates. Furthermore, the 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 the Loan Parties and their Affiliates and including holding, for its own account or on behalf of others, equity, debt and similar positions in the Borrower, another Loan Party or their respective Affiliates), including trading in or holding long, short or derivative positions in securities, loans or other financial products of one or more of the Loan Parties or their Affiliates. Each Lender understands and agrees that in engaging in the Activities, the Agent’s Group may receive or otherwise obtain information concerning the Loan Parties or their Affiliates (including information concerning the ability of the Loan Parties to perform their respective Obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents) which information may not be available to any of the Lenders that are not members of the Agent’s Group. None of the Administrative Agent nor any member of the 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 any Loan Party or any Affiliate of any Loan Party) or to account for any revenue or profits obtained in connection with the Activities, except that the Administrative Agent shall deliver or otherwise make available to each Lender such documents as are expressly required by any Loan Document to be transmitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders.
(c) Each Lender further understands that there may be situations where members of the Agent’s Group or their respective customers (including the Loan Parties and their 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 and under the other Loan Documents). Each Lender agrees that no member of the Agent’s Group is or shall be required to restrict its activities as a result of the Person serving as Administrative Agent being a member of the Agent’s Group, and that each member of the Agent’s Group may undertake any Activities without further consultation with or notification to any Lender. None of (i) this Agreement nor any other Loan Document, (ii) the receipt by the Agent’s Group of information (including Information) concerning the Loan Parties or their Affiliates (including information concerning the ability of the Loan Parties to perform their respective Obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents) nor (iii) any other matter shall give rise to any
89
fiduciary, equitable or contractual duties (including without limitation any duty of trust or confidence) owing by the Administrative Agent or any member of the Agent’s Group to any Lender including any such duty that would prevent or restrict the Agent’s Group from acting on behalf of customers (including the Loan Parties or their Affiliates) or for its own account.
11.3 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:
(a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;
(b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Laws including, for the avoidance of doubt, any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law;
(c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity; and
(d) nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall require the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent 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 the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties.
The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 9.1 and 9.2) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment). The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender.
Neither the Administrative Agent nor any member of the 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 Loan Document, (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
90
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 Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article V or elsewhere herein, other than (but subject to the foregoing clause (ii)) to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.
11.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan and such Lender shall not have made available to the Administrative Agent, to the extent applicable, such Xxxxxx’s ratable portion of such Loan. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
11.5 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.
11.6 Resignation of Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and shall not be required if any Default has occurred and is continuing, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in any state in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in any state in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, with the consent of the Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and shall not be required if any Default has occurred and is continuing, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation or removal shall nonetheless
91
become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this paragraph. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations as Administrative Agent hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.6 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.
11.7 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.
(a) Each Lender confirms to the Administrative Agent, 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 Administrative Agent, 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 Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (z) in taking or not taking actions hereunder and thereunder, (ii) is financially able to bear such risks and (iii) has determined that entering into this Agreement and making Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder and under the other Loan Documents is suitable and appropriate for it.
(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 Loan Documents, (ii) that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, 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 Administrative Agent, 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 Loan Documents based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, which may include, in each case:
92
(i) the financial condition, status and capitalization of the Borrower and each other Loan Party;
(ii) the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with any Loan Document;
(iii) determining compliance or non-compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan and the form and substance of all evidence delivered in connection with establishing the satisfaction of each such condition;
(iv) the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of any information delivered by the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or by any of their respective Related Parties under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, 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 any Loan Document.
11.8 No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Arrangers, syndication agents, documentation agent, the Administrative Agent or any other Agent listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent or a Lender hereunder.
11.9 Appointment of Supplemental Administrative Agents.
(a) It is the purpose of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that there shall be no violation of any Law of any jurisdiction denying or restricting the right of banking corporations or associations to transact business as agent or trustee in such jurisdiction. It is recognized that in case of litigation under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and in particular in case of the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents, or in case the Administrative Agent deems that by reason of any present or future Law of any jurisdiction it may not exercise any of the rights, powers or remedies granted herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or take any other action which may be desirable or necessary in connection therewith, the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to appoint an additional individual or institution selected by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion as a separate trustee, co-trustee, administrative agent, collateral agent, administrative sub-agent or administrative co-agent (any such additional individual or institution being referred to herein individually as a “Supplemental Administrative Agent” and collectively as “Supplemental Administrative Agents”).
(b) Should any instrument in writing from the Borrower or any other Loan Party be required by any Supplemental Administrative Agent so appointed by the Administrative Agent for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to him or it such rights, powers, privileges and duties, the Borrower shall, or shall cause such Loan Party to, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such reasonably requested instruments promptly upon request by the Administrative Agent, at no cost to the Borrower. In case any Supplemental Administrative
93
Agent, or a successor thereto, shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of such Supplemental Administrative Agent, to the extent permitted by Law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Administrative Agent until the appointment of a new Supplemental Administrative Agent.
11.10 Administrative Agent’s Reimbursement and Indemnification. The Lenders agree to reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent, solely in its capacity as such, ratably, in their respective Term Loan Ratable Shares, (a) for any amounts not reimbursed by the Borrower for which the Administrative Agent is entitled to reimbursement by the Borrower under the Loan Documents, (b) for any other expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders, in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration and enforcement of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, for any expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with any dispute between the Administrative Agent and any Lender or between two or more of the Lenders) and (c) for any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any other document delivered in connection therewith or the transactions contemplated thereby (including, without limitation, for any such amounts incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in connection with any dispute between the Administrative Agent and any Lender or between two or more of the Lenders), or the enforcement of any of the terms of the Loan Documents or of any such other documents; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent any of the foregoing is found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 11.10 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.
11.11 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have actual knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Unmatured Default hereunder (other than a Default under Section 8.2) unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement describing such Default or Unmatured Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default” or that such notice is delivered pursuant to Section 7.3 hereof. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders.
11.12 Administrative Agent’s Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, the fees agreed to by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Administrative Agent’s Fee Letter or as otherwise agreed by them from time to time.
11.13 Delegation to Affiliates. The Borrower, the Company and the Lenders agree that the Administrative Agent may delegate any of its duties under this Agreement to any of its Affiliates. Any such Affiliate (and such Affiliate’s directors, officers, agents and employees) which performs duties in connection with this Agreement shall be entitled to the same benefits of the indemnification, waiver and other protective provisions to which the Administrative Agent is entitled under Articles X and XI.
94
11.14 Agent’s Responsibilities and Duties. None of the Agents shall have any responsibilities hereunder in its capacity as an Agent. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Agents or the Administrative Agent shall have or be deemed to have a fiduciary relationship with the Borrower or any Lender.
11.15 Withholding Taxes. To the extent required by any applicable laws, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Loan Party may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax with respect to such Lender. Without limiting or expanding the provisions of Section 3.5, each Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent against, within 10 days after written demand therefor, any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent by the IRS or any other governmental authority as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent to properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of such Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding Tax ineffective). A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due the Administrative Agent under this Section 11.15. The agreements in this Section 11.15 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of the Term Loans and all other Obligations.
11.16 Certain ERISA Matters.
(a) Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

(b) In addition, unless either (1) sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or (2) a Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that the Administrative Agent is not a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Xxxxxx’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Term Loan Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).
11.17 Erroneous Payments.
(a) If the Administrative Agent (x) notifies a Lender, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender (any such Lender or other recipient (and each of their respective successors and assigns), a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds (as set forth in such notice from the Administrative Agent) received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously or mistakenly transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether transmitted or received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and (y) demands in writing the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent pending its return or repayment as contemplated below in this Section 11.17 and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Lender shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing), return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a
96
demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon (except to the extent waived in writing by the Administrative Agent) in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(b) Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender (and each of their respective successors and assigns), agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in this Agreement or in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), then in each such case:
(i) it acknowledges and agrees that (A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error and mistake shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error and mistake has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and
(ii) such Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of the occurrence of any of the circumstances described in immediately preceding clauses (x), (y) and (z)) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 11.17(b).
For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 11.17(b) shall not have any effect on a Payment Recipient’s obligations pursuant to Section 11.17(a) or on whether or not an Erroneous Payment has been made.
(c) Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender under any Loan Document with respect to any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, against any amount that the Administrative Agent has demanded to be returned under immediately preceding clause (a).
(d) (i) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment
97
(or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Administrative Agent’s notice to such Lender at any time, then effective immediately (with the consideration therefor being acknowledged by the parties hereto), (A) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans of the relevant Type with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) (on a cashless basis and such amount calculated at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance)), and is hereby (together with the Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to an electronic platform as to which the Administrative Agent and such parties are participants) with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (but the failure of such Person to deliver any such Notes shall not affect the effectiveness of the foregoing assignment), (B) the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to have acquired the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (C) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement which shall survive as to such assigning Lender, (D) the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall each be deemed to have waived any consents required under this Agreement to any such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and (E) the Administrative Agent will reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment.
(ii) Subject to Section 13.1, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). In addition, an Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender (x) shall be reduced by the proceeds of prepayments or repayments of principal and interest, or other distribution in respect of principal and interest, received by the Administrative Agent on or with respect to any such Loans acquired from such Lender pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment (to the extent that any such Loans are then owned by the Administrative Agent) and (y) may, in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, be reduced by any amount specified by the Administrative Agent in writing to the applicable Lender from time to time.
(e) The parties hereto agree that (x) irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, in the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights and
98
interests of such Payment Recipient (and, in the case of any Payment Recipient who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, to the rights and interests of such Lender) under the Loan Documents with respect to such amount (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”) (provided that the Loan Parties’ Obligations under the Loan Documents in respect of the Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights shall not be duplicative of such Obligations in respect of Loans that have been assigned to the Administrative Agent under an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment) and (y) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower or any other Loan Party; provided that this Section 11.17 shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Obligations of the Borrower relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the Obligations that would have been payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by the Administrative Agent; provided, further, that for the avoidance of doubt, immediately preceding clauses (x) and (y) shall not apply to the extent any such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower or any other Loan Party.
(f) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including, without limitation, any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.
(g) Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 11.17 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

SETOFF; RATABLE PAYMENTS
12.1 Setoff. In addition to, and without limitation of, any rights of the Lenders under applicable law, if the Borrower or the Company becomes insolvent, however evidenced, or any Default occurs, any and all deposits (including all account balances, whether provisional or final and whether or not collected or available) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by any Lender or any Affiliate of any Lender to or for the credit or account of the Borrower or the Company may be offset and applied toward the payment of the Obligations owing to such Lender, whether or not the Obligations, or any part hereof, shall then be due.
12.2 Ratable Payments. If any Lender under the Term Loan Facility, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it upon its Loans under the Term Loan Facility (other than payments received pursuant to Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5 or as otherwise expressly set forth herein) in a greater proportion than that received by any other Lender under the Term Loan Facility, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase for cash a participation interest in such portion of the Term Loans held by the other Lenders under the Term Loan Facility as shall be necessary to cause such Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of the
99
Lenders. If any Lender under the Term Loan Facility, whether in connection with setoff or amounts which might be subject to setoff or otherwise, receives collateral or other protection for its Obligations under the Term Loan Facility or such amounts which may be subject to setoff, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to take such action necessary such that all Lenders under the Term Loan Facility share in the benefits of such collateral ratably in proportion to their Loans under the Term Loan Facility. In case any such payment is disturbed by legal process, or otherwise, appropriate further adjustments shall be made.

BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS
13.1 Successors and Assigns. The terms and provisions of the Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Company and the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, except that (a) neither the Borrower nor the Company shall have the right to assign its rights or obligations under the Loan Documents and (b) any assignment by any Lender must be made in compliance with Section 13.3 (such assignee, an “Eligible Assignee”). Notwithstanding clause (b) of this Section, any Lender may at any time, without the consent of the Borrower, the Company or the Administrative Agent transfer its rights or obligations by, assigning, pledging or granting a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement, any Note, any Guaranty Agreement or any other Loan Document to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank (or its foreign equivalent); provided, however, that no such assignment to a Federal Reserve Bank (or its foreign equivalent) shall release the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder. Any assignee or transferee of the rights to any Loan or any Note agrees by acceptance of such transfer or assignment to be bound by all the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents. Any request, authority or consent of any Person, who at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent is the owner of the rights to any Loan (whether or not a Note has been issued in evidence thereof), shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee or assignee of the rights to such Loan.
13.2 Participations.
13.2.1 Permitted Participants; Effect.
100
(a) Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to any Person (other than a natural person, the Company, Borrower or any Affiliate thereof)) (“Participant”) participating interests in any Note held by such Lender, any Term Loan of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender under the Loan Documents. The consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall be required prior to a sale of a participating interest becoming effective with respect to a Participant (except a sale of a participating interest by a Lender to its Affiliate or in the case of the consent of the Borrower only, a participating interest to another Lender or an Affiliate thereof); provided, however, that if a Default has occurred and is continuing, the consent of the Borrower shall not be required. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, such Lender shall remain the owner of its Loans and the holder of any Note issued to it in evidence thereof for all purposes under the Loan Documents, all amounts payable by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participating interests, and the Borrower, the Company and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Xxxxxx’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents. Any consents of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent under this Section 13.2.1 shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such sale unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within eight (8) calendar days after having received written notice thereof.
(b) The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.1 and 3.5 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 13.3; provided that such Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.1 or Section 3.5, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a change in law that occurs after the sale of the participation takes place.
(c) Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and related interest amounts) of each participant’s interest in the Loans (the “Participant Register”). No Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent such disclosure is necessary in connection with a tax audit or other proceeding to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations; provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that the foregoing shall not limit or expand the rights of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to consent to such participation under clause (a) above to the extent provided in such clause. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of the participation such person is shown as owning, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.
13.2.2 Voting Rights. Each Lender shall retain the sole right to approve, without the consent of any Participant, any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan
101
Documents except that any participation agreement may provide that the applicable Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, approve any amendment, modification or waiver with respect to any Loan in which such Participant has an interest which forgives principal, interest or fees or reduces the interest rate (other than any waiver of interest at the default rate) or fees payable with respect to any such Loan, extends the Term Loan Facility Maturity Date under the Term Loan Facility (including as provided in Section 2.17), postpones any date fixed for any regularly-scheduled payment of principal of, or interest or fees on, any such Loan, releases any Guarantor (except for a release of a Designated Guarantor as provided in Section 10.13) of any such Loan or releases all or substantially all of the collateral, if any, securing any such Loan.
13.2.3 Benefit of Setoff. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of setoff provided in Section 12.1 in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under the Loan Documents to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under the Loan Documents, provided that each Lender shall retain the right of setoff provided in Section 12.1 with respect to the amount of participating interests sold to each Participant. The Lenders agree to share with each Participant, and each Participant, by exercising the right of setoff provided in Section 12.1, agrees to share with each Lender, any amount received pursuant to the exercise of its right of setoff, such amounts to be shared in accordance with Section 12.2 as if each Participant were a Lender.
13.3 Assignments.
13.3.1 Permitted Assignments. Any Lender may, subject to any consent required below, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time assign to a Qualified Bank (or, while a Default under Section 8.2, 8.5 or 8.6 has occurred and is continuing, to any Person (other than a natural person, the Company, Borrower or any Affiliate thereof)) (“Purchaser”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents. Such assignment shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit H or in such other form as may be agreed to by the parties thereto, the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default under Section 8.2, 8.5 or 8.6 has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower (an “Assignment and Assumption”). Except as otherwise hereinafter provided, the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall be required prior to an assignment becoming effective with respect to a Purchaser (except, but subject to clause (b) of the immediately succeeding sentence, an assignment to an Affiliate of such Lender, another Lender or an Affiliate of such other Lender thereof); provided, however, that if a Default under Section 8.2, 8.5 or 8.6 has occurred and is continuing, the consent of the Borrower shall not be required. Unless each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower otherwise consents (except that, if a Default has occurred and is continuing, the consent of the Borrower shall not be required), (a) each such assignment shall (unless it is an assignment of a Lender’s entire interest in the Term Loan Facility) be in an amount not less than $5,000,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000,000, and (b) except as otherwise provided below in this Section 13.3.1, no assignment shall be made that would reduce the Term Loans of a Lender and its Affiliates (in the aggregate) to an amount less than the greater of (i) $10,000,000 or (ii) thirty-five percent (35%) of the Term Loans held by such Lender on the Amendment No. 5 Effective Date or as of any later date on which it first became a Lender hereunder (or, in the case of this clause (ii), such lesser amount to which the Borrower may, in its sole discretion, agree in writing); provided that while a Default under Section 8.2, 8.5 or 8.6 has occurred and is continuing, clause (b) of this sentence shall not apply. Any consents of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent under this Section 13.3.1 shall not be unreasonably
102
withheld or delayed (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, any consent of the Borrower under Section (b) of the immediately preceding sentence, which consent may be withheld by the Borrower in its sole discretion); provided, that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within eight (8) calendar days after having received written notice thereof.
13.3.2 Effect, Effective Date. Upon (i) delivery to the Administrative Agent of an Assignment and Assumption, together with any consents required by Section 13.3.1, and (ii) payment of a $3,500 fee to the Administrative Agent (unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent in its discretion) for processing such assignment, such assignment shall become effective on the effective date specified in such Assignment and Assumption. On and after the effective date of such assignment, such Purchaser shall for all purposes be a Term Lender party to this Agreement and any other Loan Document executed by or on behalf of the Lenders and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Term Lender under the Loan Documents, to the same extent as if it were an original party hereto, and, with respect to any sale of all of the Term Loans of a Term Loan Lender, no further consent or action by any Loan Party, the Lenders or the Administrative Agent shall be required to release the transferor Lender as a Lender under this Agreement. Upon the consummation of any assignment to a Purchaser pursuant to this Section 13.3.2, the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall, if the transferor Lender or the Purchaser desires that its Loans be evidenced by Notes, make appropriate arrangements so that new Notes or, as appropriate, replacement Notes are issued to such transferor Lender and new Notes or, as appropriate, replacement Notes, are issued to such Purchaser, in each case in principal amounts reflecting their respective Term Loans, as adjusted pursuant to such assignment. Such transferor Lender shall continue to be entitled to the benefit of Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4, 3.5 and 10.6(b) (to the extent such Lender’s entitlement to such benefit arose out of its position as a Lender prior to the applicable assignment except in respect of a Change in Law after the applicable assignment). The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Xxxxxxxx, shall maintain a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and principal amounts (and related interest amounts) of the Loans owing to each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, Administrative Agent, and Xxxxxxx shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register as the Lender with respect to the Loans shown in the Register as owing to such person, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon prior reasonable notice.
13.4 Dissemination of Information. The Borrower and the Company authorize each Lender to disclose to any Participant or Purchaser or any other Person acquiring an interest in the Loan Documents by operation of law (each a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee any and all information in such Xxxxxx’s possession concerning the creditworthiness of the Borrower, the Company and its Subsidiaries; provided that each Transferee and prospective Transferee agrees in writing to be bound by Section 10.11 of this Agreement.

Each such notice, request, demand, consent or other communication shall be effective (i) if given by facsimile transmission, when transmitted to the facsimile number specified in this Section during the applicable recipient’s normal business hours and confirmation of receipt is received, (ii) if given by mail, four (4) Business Days after such communication is deposited in the mails with first class postage prepaid, addressed as aforesaid, or (iii) if given by any other means, when delivered (or, in the case of electronic transmission during the applicable recipient’s normal business hours, received) at the address specified in this Section; provided that notices to the Administrative Agent under Article II shall not be effective until received.
(b) So long as Truist or any of its Affiliates is the Administrative Agent, such materials as the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may agree in their sole discretion shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent in an electronic/soft medium in a format acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders by e-mail at xxxxxx.xxxxxxxx@xxxxxx.xxx. The Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may make such materials, as well as any other written information, documents, instruments and other material relating to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any other materials or matters relating to this Agreement, the Notes or any of the transactions contemplated hereby (other than any Ratable Borrowing Notice, Rate Option Notice, request for conversion or continuation of any Term Advance or notices constituting service of process or relating to legal process) (collectively, the “Communications”) available to the Lenders by posting such notices on SyndTrak or a substantially similar electronic system (the “Platform”). The Borrower acknowledges that (i) the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution, (ii) the Platform is provided “as is” and “as available” and (iii) no Agent Party (as defined below) warrants the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of the Communications or the Platform and each expressly disclaims liability for errors or omissions in the Communications or the Platform. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Agent Party in connection with the Communications or the Platform.

104
Administrative Agent’s transmission of Communications through the internet, except to the extent the liability of any Agent Party is found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from such Agent Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In consideration for the convenience and other benefits afforded by such distribution and for the other consideration provided hereunder, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, each Lender and each Loan Party hereby approves distribution of the Communications through the Platform and understands and assumes the risks of such distribution.
(c) The Administrative Agent agrees that the receipt of the Communications by the Administrative Agent at its e-mail address set forth above shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to the Administrative Agent for purposes of the Credit Documents. Each Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) (a “Notice”) specifying that any Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of such information, documents or other materials to such Lender for purposes of this Agreement; provided that, if requested by any Lender, the Administrative Agent shall deliver a copy of the Communications to such Lender by e-mail or facsimile. Each Lender agrees (i) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing of such Xxxxxx’s e-mail address(es) to which a Notice may be sent by electronic transmission (including by electronic communication) on or before the date such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter to ensure that the Administrative Agent has on record an effective e-mail address for such Lender) and (ii) that any Notice may be sent to such e-mail address(es) as such Lender shall instruct. The Administrative Agent agrees that it will, upon any Lender’s reasonable request, furnish materials posted on the Platform to such Lender in hard copy to such Xxxxxx’s address set forth in its administrative questionnaire delivered to the Administrative Agent.
(d) Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document.
(e) Each of the Lenders and each Loan Party agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but (except as may be required by applicable law) shall not be obligated to, store the Communications on the Platform in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s generally-applicable document retention procedures and policies.
