ARTICLE II.
The Commitments and Credit Extensions

Section 2.01 The Loans.

(a) The Initial Term Borrowings. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Term Lender with an Initial Term Commitment severally agrees to make a single loan denominated in Dollars (the “Initial Term Loans”) to the Borrowers on the Closing Date in an amount not to exceed such Term Lender’s Initial Term Commitment. The Initial Term Borrowing shall consist of Initial Term Loans made simultaneously by the Term Lenders in accordance with their respective Initial Term Commitments. Amounts borrowed under this Section 2.01(a) and subsequently repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed (it being understood, however, that prepayments will be taken into account for purposes of any Prepayment-Based Incremental Facility to the extent provided by Section 2.14). Initial Term Loans may be Base Rate Loans or SOFR Loans as further provided herein.

(b) [reserved].

(c) After the Closing Date, subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender with a Term Commitment (other than an Initial Term Commitment) with respect to any Tranche of Term Loans (other than Initial Term Loans) severally agrees to make a Term Loan under such Tranche to the applicable Borrowers thereof in an amount not to exceed such Term Lender’s Term Commitment under such Tranche on the date of incurrence thereof, which Term Loans under such Tranche shall be incurred pursuant to a single drawing on the date set forth for such incurrence. Such Term Loans may be Base Rate Loans or SOFR Loans as further provided herein. Once repaid, Term Loans incurred hereunder may not be reborrowed.

Section 2.02 Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans.

(a) Each Term Borrowing, each conversion of Term Loans, from one Type to the other, and each continuation of SOFR Loans, shall be made upon irrevocable notice by the Swedish Borrower to the Administrative Agent; provided that Loans denominated in Dollars shall be Base Rate Loans or SOFR Loans. Other than with respect to a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans (which must be in writing and be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time)), each such notice must be in writing and must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) (i) three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, or continuation of SOFR Loans, or of any conversion of Base Rate Loans to SOFR Loans (or such later

IF "1" = "1" "#4875-2924-7575v15" "" #4875-2924-7575v15


AMERICAS 120585256

date as the Administrative Agent shall agree) (or in the case of any such Borrowing to be made on the Closing Date, one Business Day prior to the Closing Date) and (ii) one (1) Business Day prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans or of any conversion of SOFR Loans to Base Rate Loans. Each notice pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent in the form of a written Committed Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrowers.

Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof. Each Borrowing of, or conversion to, Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof.

Each Committed Loan Notice shall specify (i) whether the applicable Borrowers are requesting a Term Borrowing, a conversion of a Tranche of Term Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of SOFR Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) if applicable, the Type of Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Tranche of Term Loans are to be converted and (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto. If the Borrowers fail to specify a Type of Loan in a Committed Loan Notice or if the Borrowers fail to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Tranche of Term Loans shall be made as, or converted to, SOFR Loans with an Interest Period of one month. Any such automatic conversion or continuation pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable SOFR Loans, as applicable. If the Borrowers request a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of SOFR Loans in any such Committed Loan Notice, but fail to specify an Interest Period, they will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month.

(b) Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each applicable Lender of the amount of its ratable share of the applicable Tranche of Term Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation of SOFR Loans is provided by the applicable Borrowers, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to SOFR Loans with an Interest Period of one month as described in Section 2.02(a). Each Appropriate Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day specified in the applicable Committed Loan Notice. Each Lender may, at its option, make any Loan available to the Borrowers by causing any foreign or domestic branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.01, the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received by the cutoff times set forth above available to the Borrowers in like funds received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the Borrowers on the books of the Administrative Agent with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Borrowers.

(c) Except as otherwise provided herein, a SOFR Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such SOFR Loan unless the Borrowers pay the amount due under Section 3.06 in connection therewith. During the existence of an Event of Default, at the election of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, no Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as SOFR Loans.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for SOFR Loans upon determination of such interest rate. The determination of Term SOFR by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(e) After giving effect to all Term Borrowings, all conversions of Term Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Term Loans of the same Type, there shall not be more than ten Interest Periods in effect.

AMERICAS 120585256

(f) The failure of any Lender to make the Loan to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Loan on the date of such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Loan to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing, which for the avoidance of doubt does not limit such Xxxxxx’s obligations under Section 2.17.

(g) In connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time (in consultation with the Borrowers) 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. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR.

Section 2.03 [Reserved].

Section 2.04 [Reserved].

Section 2.05 Prepayments.

(a) Optional. (i) The Borrowers may, upon notice by the Borrowers substantially in the form of Exhibit G (or in such other form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty except as set forth in Section 2.05(a)(iii) below; provided that (1) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent shall agree, acting reasonably) and (2) any prepayment of SOFR Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment, the Tranche of Loans to be prepaid, the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid and, if SOFR Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Loans (except that if the class of Loans to be prepaid includes both Base Rate Loans and SOFR Loans, absent direction by the applicable Borrowers, the applicable prepayment shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans to the full extent thereof before application to SOFR Loans, in each case in a manner that minimizes the amount payable by the applicable Borrowers in respect of such prepayment pursuant to Section 3.06). The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s ratable portion of such prepayment (based on such Lender’s ratable share of the relevant Facility). If such notice is given by the Borrowers, subject to clause (ii) below, the applicable Borrowers shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.05(a)(iii) and Section 3.06. Subject to Section 2.17, each prepayment of any outstanding Term Loan Tranche pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) shall be applied to such Term Loan Tranche or Term Loan Tranches designated on such notice. Subject to Section 2.17, each prepayment of any outstanding Term Loan Tranche pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) shall be applied to the remaining amortization payments of the applicable Term Loan Tranche as directed by the Swedish Borrower (or, if the Swedish Borrower has not made such designation, in direct order of maturity); and each such prepayment shall be paid to the Appropriate Lenders on a pro rata basis to the Lenders within such applicable Term Loan Tranche. The Borrower shall have no more than four prepayments of SOFR Loans per year pursuant to this Section 2.05(a).

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any notice of prepayment under Section 2.05(a)(i) may state that it is conditioned upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event specified therein (including the effectiveness of other credit facilities), in which case such notice may be revoked or postponed by the Borrowers (by written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.

AMERICAS 120585256

(iii) In the event that all or any portion of the Initial Term Loans is repaid or prepaid for any reason (including as a result of any mandatory prepayments pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(ii) or Section 2.05(b)(iii), voluntary or optional prepayments, any Repricing Event, payments made following acceleration of the Initial Term Loans (but excluding payments of the purchase price in connection with an assignment of the Initial Term Loans made pursuant to Section 3.08) prior to the third anniversary of the Closing Date, such repayments or prepayments will be made together with a premium equal to (A) the Make-Whole Premium as of the date of such repayment or prepayment, if such repayment or prepayment occurs prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date and (B) 3.00% of the amount repaid or prepaid, if such repayment or prepayment occurs on or after the second anniversary of the Closing Date but on or prior to the third anniversary of the Closing Date (the foregoing premiums (including the Make-Whole Premium), the “Prepayment Premium”); provided that the Prepayment Premium shall not apply to (1) scheduled amortization Installment payments made by Borrower pursuant to Section 2.07 and (2) mandatory prepayments by Borrower pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(i). If the Initial Term Loans are accelerated or otherwise become due prior to their maturity date, in each case, as a result of an Event of Default (including upon the occurrence of a bankruptcy or insolvency event (including the acceleration of claims by operation of law)), the amount of principal of and premium on the Initial Term Loans that becomes due and payable shall equal 100% of the principal amount of the Initial Term Loans plus the Prepayment Premium in effect on the date of such acceleration or such other prior due date, as if such acceleration or other occurrence were a voluntary prepayment of the Initial Term Loans accelerated or otherwise becoming due. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that if the Initial Term Loans are accelerated or otherwise become due prior to their maturity date, in each case, in respect of any Event of Default (including upon the occurrence of a bankruptcy or insolvency event (including the acceleration of claims by operation of law)), the Prepayment Premium applicable with respect to a voluntary prepayment of the Initial Term Loans will also be due and payable on the date of such acceleration or such other prior due date as though the Loans were voluntarily prepaid as of such date and shall constitute part of the Obligations, in view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable calculation of each Xxxxxx’s loss as a result thereof. Any premium payable above shall be presumed to be the liquidated damages sustained by each Lender and each Borrower agrees that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. EACH BORROWER EXPRESSLY WAIVES (TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY LAWFULLY DO SO) THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE PREPAYMENT PREMIUM IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACCELERATION. Each Borrower expressly agrees (to the fullest extent it may lawfully do so) that: (A) the Prepayment Premium is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel; (B) the Prepayment Premium shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made; (C) there has been a course of conduct between the Lenders and each Borrower giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Prepayment Premium; and (D) each Borrower shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph

(b) Mandatory.

(i) For any Excess Cash Flow Period, within ten Business Days after financial statements have been delivered or were required to have been delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(a) and the related Compliance Certificate has been delivered pursuant to Section 6.02(a) (or, if later, the date on which such financial statements and such Compliance Certificate are required to be delivered), the Borrowers shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans in an amount equal to (A) 50% (as may be adjusted pursuant to the proviso below) of Excess Cash Flow for such Excess Cash Flow Period (commencing with the Excess Cash Flow Period ending on December 31, 2024), minus (B) the sum of:

(1) the aggregate amount of voluntary principal prepayments in cash of the Loans, Sustainable Revolving Credit Facility Loans (to the extent accompanied by a permanent reduction in the Sustainable Revolving Credit

(2) [reserved],

(3) the amount of Taxes paid and/or capital expenditures either made in cash by any Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries during the period commencing on the first day of the relevant Excess Cash Flow Period and ending on the last day of the applicable Excess Cash Flow Period (or, at the Swedish Borrower’s option, after the end of the relevant Excess Cash Flow Period but prior to the time such Excess Cash Flow payment is due; provided that to the extent the Swedish Borrower exercises such option, such amount shall not be permitted as a reduction against the subsequent Excess Cash Flow Period calculation) and in each case other than to the extent that any such capital expenditures or Taxes are funded with the proceeds of long-term Indebtedness (other than any revolving Indebtedness),

(4) the aggregate amount of cash consideration paid by any Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary (on a consolidated basis) in connection with any Investments, any acquisitions, acquisitions of intellectual property and any deferred payments in connection with any acquisition and Restricted Payments (including, without limitation, any distribution with respect to Taxes) other than, in each case, any Investments in cash or Cash Equivalents or Investments in Parent or any Restricted Subsidiaries during the period commencing on the first day of the relevant Excess Cash Flow Period and ending on the last day of the applicable Excess Cash Flow Period (or, at the Swedish Borrower’s option, after the end of the relevant Excess Cash Flow Period but prior to the time such Excess Cash Flow payment is due; provided that to the extent the Swedish Borrower exercises such option, such amount shall not be permitted as a reduction against the subsequent Excess Cash Flow Period calculation) and in each case other than to the extent that any such cash consideration is funded with the proceeds of long-term Indebtedness (other than any revolving Indebtedness), and

(5) at the Borrowers’ election, without duplication of amounts deducted from Excess Cash Flow pursuant to this Section 2.05(b)(i)(B)(5) in respect of prior fiscal years, the aggregate consideration required to be paid in cash by any Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries pursuant to binding contracts (the “Contract Consideration”) entered into prior to or during such fiscal year or otherwise budgeted or planned to be paid in cash, in each case, relating to Investments, any acquisitions, acquisitions of intellectual property and any deferred payments in connection with any acquisition, or capital expenditures to be consummated or made during the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters of Parent following the end of such fiscal year other than, in each case, any Investments in cash or Cash Equivalents or Investments in Parent or any Restricted Subsidiaries; provided that to the extent the aggregate amount of cash actually utilized to finance such Investments and capital expenditures during such period of four consecutive fiscal quarters is less than the Contract Consideration or amount otherwise budgeted or planned for such uses, the amount of such shortfall shall be added to the calculation of Excess Cash Flow at the end of such period of four consecutive fiscal quarters;

(ii) If any Asset Sale (or series of related Asset Sales) results in the receipt by the Borrowers or any Restricted Subsidiary of aggregate Net Cash Proceeds in excess of $10,000,000 per fiscal year (such threshold amount, the “De-Minimis Amount” and any such event, a “Relevant Transaction”), then except to the extent the Swedish Borrower elects to reinvest all or a portion of such Net Cash Proceeds in accordance with Section 7.04, the Borrowers shall prepay, subject to Section 2.05(b)(viii) and (ix), an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds received from such Relevant Transaction within 15 Business Days of receipt thereof (or, within 15 Business Days after the later of the date the threshold referred to above is first exceeded and the date the relevant Net Cash Proceeds are received) by the Borrowers or such Restricted Subsidiary; provided that the Borrowers may use a portion of the Net Cash Proceeds received from such Relevant Transaction to prepay or repurchase any other Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness under the Sustainable Revolving Credit Facility Agreement) that is secured by the Collateral on a first lien “equal and ratable” basis with Liens securing the Obligations to the extent such other Indebtedness and the Liens securing the same are permitted hereunder and the documentation governing such other Indebtedness requires such a prepayment or repurchase thereof with the proceeds of such Relevant Transaction, to the extent not deducted in the calculation of Net Cash Proceeds, in each case in an amount not to exceed the product of (1) the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds and (2) a fraction, the numerator of which is the outstanding principal amount of such other Indebtedness (or to the extent such amount is not in Dollars, such equivalent amount of such Indebtedness converted into Dollars as determined in accordance with Section 1.08) and the denominator of which is the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Term Loans and such other Indebtedness (or to the extent such amount is not in Dollars, such equivalent amount of such Indebtedness converted into Dollars as determined in accordance with Section 1.08).

AMERICAS 120585256

as directed by the Swedish Borrower (and absent such direction, in direct order of maturity). Amounts to be applied to a Term Loan Tranche in connection with prepayments made pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) shall be applied to the principal installments thereof as directed by the Swedish Borrower (and absent such direction, to the remaining scheduled installments with respect to such Term Loan Tranche in direct order of maturity). Each prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) shall be applied on a pro rata basis to the then outstanding Base Rate Loans and SOFR Loans under such Facility; provided that, if there are no Declining Lenders with respect to such prepayment, then the amount thereof shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans under such Facility to the full extent thereof before application to SOFR Loans, in each case in a manner that minimizes the amount payable by the Borrowers in respect of such prepayment pursuant to Section 3.06.

(vii) All prepayments under this Section 2.05 shall be made together with, in the case of any such prepayment of a SOFR Loan on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period therefor, any amounts owing in respect of such SOFR Loan pursuant to Section 3.06 and, to the extent applicable, any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.05(a)(iii).

(viii) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.05, to the extent that any or all of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Asset Sale by a Subsidiary (a “Foreign Disposition”) giving rise to a prepayment event pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(ii), or Excess Cash Flow giving rise to a prepayment event pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(i), are or is prohibited, restricted or delayed by applicable local law (including, without limitation, financial assistance and corporate benefit restrictions and fiduciary and statutory duties of any directors or officers of such Subsidiaries) from being repatriated to the applicable Borrowers, the portion of such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans at the times provided in this Section 2.05 but may be retained by the applicable Subsidiary (it being understood and agreed that the Borrowers shall be under no obligation to cause or to attempt to cause the applicable Subsidiary to promptly take any actions reasonably required by the applicable local law to permit such repatriation, to monitor any such circumstances or to reserve cash for future repatriation after it has provided notice to the Administrative Agent of such prohibition, restriction, delay or risk).

(ix) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.05, to the extent that the Swedish Borrower has determined in good faith that repatriation of any or all of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Foreign Disposition giving rise to a prepayment event pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(ii), or Excess Cash Flow giving rise to a prepayment event pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(i) would result in material adverse tax consequences (as reasonably determined by the Swedish Borrower in consultation with the Administrative Agent and the Lead Lender, taking into account any foreign Tax credit or benefit actually realized in connection with such repatriation) with respect to such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, the Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected may be retained by the applicable Subsidiary; provided that to the extent that the repatriation of the relevant Net Cash Proceeds of any Foreign Disposition or Excess Cash Flow, directly or indirectly, from the relevant Subsidiary would no longer have a material adverse Tax consequence (as reasonably determined by the Swedish Borrower) within the 365-day period following the Foreign Disposition or the end of the applicable Excess Cash Flow Period, as the case may be, an amount equal to the Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, as applicable and to the extent available, not previously applied pursuant to this sub-clause (ix) shall be promptly applied (net of any Taxes payable as a result of such repatriation) to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.05 as otherwise required above.

(x) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.05(b), the Borrowers may make prepayments required in connection with any Indebtedness that is secured on a pari passu basis with the Initial Term Loans on a ratable basis based on the outstanding principal amount of such Indebtedness.

(c) Term Lender Opt-Out. With respect to any prepayment of Initial Term Loans and, unless otherwise specified in the documents therefor, other Term Loan Tranches pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(i) or (ii), any Appropriate Lender, at its option, may elect not to accept such prepayment as provided below. The Swedish Borrower shall notify

AMERICAS 120585256

the Administrative Agent of any event giving rise to a prepayment under Section 2.05(b)(i) or (ii) at least five Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment. Each such notice shall specify the date of such prepayment and provide a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment that is required to be made under Section 2.05(b)(i) or (ii) (the “Prepayment Amount”). The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Appropriate Lender of the contents of any such prepayment notice so received from the Swedish Borrower, including the date on which such prepayment is to be made (the “Prepayment Date”). Any Appropriate Lender may decline to accept all (but not less than all) of its share of any such prepayment pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(i) or (ii) (any such Lender, a “Declining Lender”) by providing written notice to the Administrative Agent no later than four Business Days after the date of such Appropriate Xxxxxx’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent regarding such prepayment. If any Appropriate Lender does not give a notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to such fourth Business Day informing the Administrative Agent that it declines to accept the applicable prepayment, then such Lender will be deemed to have accepted such prepayment. On any Prepayment Date, an amount equal to the Prepayment Amount minus the portion thereof allocable to Declining Lenders, in each case for such Prepayment Date, shall be paid to the Administrative Agent by the Borrowers and applied by the Administrative Agent ratably to prepay Term Loans under the Term Loan Tranche(s) owing to Appropriate Lenders (other than Declining Lenders) in the manner described in Section 2.05(b) for such prepayment. Any amounts that would otherwise have been applied to prepay Term Loans, New Term Loans or Specified Refinancing Term Loans owing to Declining Lenders shall be retained by the Borrowers (such amounts, “Declined Amounts”).

(d) Currency. All Loans shall be repaid, whether pursuant to this Section 2.05 or otherwise, in the currency in which they were made.

Section 2.06 Termination or Reduction of Commitments.

(a) Optional. The Borrowers may, upon written notice by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent, terminate the unused portions of the Commitments under any Term Loan Tranche or from time to time permanently reduce the unused portions of the Commitments under any Term Loan Tranche; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent three Business Days (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent shall agree) prior to the date of termination or reduction and (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $500,000 or any whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Any such notice of termination or reduction of commitments pursuant to this Section 2.06(a) may state that it is conditioned upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event specified therein (including the effectiveness of other credit facilities), in which case such notice may be revoked or postponed by the applicable Borrowers (by written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.

(b) Mandatory. The Aggregate Commitments under a Term Loan Tranche shall be automatically and permanently reduced to zero on the date of the initial incurrence of Term Loans under such Term Loan Tranche, which in the case of the Initial Term Commitments shall be the Closing Date.

(c) Application of Commitment Reductions; Payment of Fees. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the applicable Lenders of the applicable Facility of any termination or reduction of the Commitments under any Term Loan Tranche under this Section 2.06. Upon any reduction of Commitments under a Facility or a Tranche thereof, the Commitment of each Lender under such Facility or Tranche thereof shall be reduced by such Lender’s ratable share of the amount by which such Facility or Tranche thereof is reduced (other than the termination of the Commitment of any Lender as provided in Section 3.08). All commitment fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Aggregate Commitments and unpaid shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.

(a) Initial Term Loans. The Borrowers shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Term Lenders holding Initial Term Loans the aggregate principal amount of all Initial Term Loans outstanding in consecutive quarterly installments as follows (which installments shall, to the extent applicable, be reduced as a result of the application of prepayments in accordance with the order of priority set forth in Sections 2.05 and 2.06, or be increased as a result of any increase in the amount of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.14 (such increased amortization payments to be calculated in the same manner (and on the same basis) as the schedule set forth below for the Initial Term Loans made as of the Closing Date)):


Date	Amount
The last Business Day of each fiscal quarter ending prior to the Maturity Date for the Initial Term Facility, commencing with the fiscal quarter ending on September 30, 2023	0.25% of the aggregate principal amount of the aggregate initial principal amount of the Initial Term Loans on the Closing Date
Maturity Date for the Initial Term Facility	All unpaid aggregate principal amounts of any outstanding Initial Term Loans

provided, however, that (i) if the date scheduled for any principal repayment installment is not a Business Day, such principal repayment installment shall be repaid on the next succeeding Business Day, and (ii) the final principal repayment installment of the Initial Term Loans shall be repaid on the Maturity Date for the Initial Term Loans and in any event shall be in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of all Initial Term Loans outstanding on such date.

(b) All Loans shall be repaid, whether pursuant to this Section 2.07 or otherwise, in the currency in which they were made.

Section 2.08 Interest.

(a) Subject to the provisions of the following sentence, (i) each SOFR Loan under a Facility shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (A) Adjusted Term SOFR for such Interest Period plus (B) the Applicable Rate for SOFR Loans under such Facility; and (ii) each Base Rate Loan under a Facility shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date or conversion date, as the case may be, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (A) the Base Rate plus (B) the Applicable Rate for Base Rate Loans under such Facility.

(b) [reserved.]

(c) Following the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Borrowers shall pay interest on all Obligations hereunder (which shall accrue from the date of occurrence of such Event of Default), which shall include all Obligations following an acceleration pursuant to Section 8.02 (including an automatic acceleration) at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

(d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein; provided that in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

AMERICAS 120585256

(e) Interest on each Loan shall be payable in the currency in which each Loan was made.

(f) All computations of interest hereunder shall be made in accordance with Section 2.10 or Section 3.04 of this Agreement.

Section 2.09 Fees. The Borrowers shall pay to the Lenders, the Arrangers, the Administrative Agent and the Security Agent such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified.

Section 2.10 Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans based on the Prime Lending Rate shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid; provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12(a), bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

Section 2.11 Evidence of Indebtedness.

(a) The Credit Extensions and a copy of each Assignment and Assumption made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and evidenced by one or more entries in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent, acting solely for purposes of Treasury Regulations Section 5f.103-1(c) and section 1.163-5(b) of the proposed United States Treasury Regulations, as a non-fiduciary agent for the Borrowers, in each case in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be prima facie evidence and the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive proof absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrowers and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit the obligation of the Borrowers hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Xxxxxx and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the Register shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the applicable Borrowers shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note payable to such Lender, which shall evidence such Xxxxxx’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto. No execution and delivery or transfer of a Note will be effective until also recorded in the Register.

(b) [reserved.]

(c) Entries made in good faith by the Administrative Agent in the Register pursuant to Sections 2.11(a) and 10.07(c) shall be conclusive proof, and by each Lender in its accounts or records pursuant to Sections 2.11(a) and 10.07(c), shall be prima facie evidence, in each case, of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers to, in the case of the Register, each Lender and, in the case of such accounts or records, such Lender, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, absent manifest error; provided that the failure of the Administrative Agent or such Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such accounts or records shall not limit the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 2.12 Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.

IF "1" = "1" "#4875-2924-7575v15" "" #4875-2924-7575v15


AMERICAS 120585256

(a) General. All payments to be made by the Borrowers shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or set-off. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in, with respect to the Term Facility and Term Loans, Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its ratable share in respect of the relevant Facility or Tranche thereof (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Xxxxxx’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. (New York City time), shall, in each case, be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by the Borrowers shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of SOFR Loans to be made in the next succeeding calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.

(b) (i) Funding by Xxxxxxx; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of SOFR Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Xxxxxx’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.02(b) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount. In such event, if any Lender does not in fact make its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then such Lender and the Borrowers severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand an amount equal to such applicable share in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrowers by the Administrative Agent to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the applicable Overnight Rate and a rate reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any reasonable administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans under the applicable Facility. If both the Borrowers and such Lender pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrowers the amount of such interest paid by the Borrowers for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid (less interest and fees) shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrowers shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrowers may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make its share of any Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent.

(ii) Payments by the Borrowers; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrowers prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the applicable Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the applicable Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Appropriate Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrowers do not in fact make such payment, then each of the Appropriate Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed by the Administrative Agent to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the applicable Overnight Rate and a rate reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any reasonable administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged

IF "1" = "1" "#4875-2924-7575v15" "" #4875-2924-7575v15


AMERICAS 120585256

by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing.

A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrowers with respect to any amount owing under this Section 2.12(b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(c) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Xxxxxx as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrowers by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender on demand, without interest.

(d) Obligations of the Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 9.07 are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan or to make any payment under Section 9.07 on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan or to make its payment under Section 9.07.

(e) Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

(f) Insufficient Funds. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, toward payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, toward payment of principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties.

(g) Unallocated Funds. If the Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the Obligations of the Loan Parties under or in respect of the Loan Documents under circumstances for which the Loan Documents do not specify the manner in which such funds are to be applied, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, elect to distribute such funds to each of the Lenders in accordance with such Xxxxxx’s ratable share of the Outstanding Amount of all Loans outstanding at such time, in repayment or prepayment of such of the outstanding Loans or other Obligations then owing to such Lender.

Section 2.13 Sharing of Payments. If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), any Lender shall obtain on account of the Loans made by it, any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) in excess of its ratable share (or other share contemplated hereunder) thereof, such Lender shall immediately (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact and (b) purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans made by them, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment in respect of such Loans pro rata with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the purchasing Lender in its discretion), such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Xxxxxx’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered, without further interest thereon. The Borrowers agree that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off, but subject to Section 10.09) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrowers in the amount of such participation. The Administrative Agent will keep records (which

100

IF "1" = "1" "#4875-2924-7575v15" "" #4875-2924-7575v15


AMERICAS 120585256

shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section 2.13 and will in each case notify the Lenders following any such purchases or repayments. Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall from and after such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 2.13 shall not be construed to apply to (A) the assignments and participations described in Section 10.07, (B) (i) the incurrence of any New Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.14, (ii) any Specified Refinancing Debt in accordance with Section 2.18, (C) applicable circumstances contemplated by Sections 2.05, 2.14, 2.17, 2.18, 2.19 or 3.08 or (D) any payments at maturity owing to a Tranche of Loans or Commitments maturing earlier than any other then-existing Tranche of Loans or Commitments.

Section 2.14 Incremental Facilities.

(a) The Borrowers may, from time to time after the Closing Date, upon notice by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent and the Person appointed by the Borrowers to arrange an incremental facility (such Person (who may be (i) the Administrative Agent, if it so agrees, or (ii) any other Person appointed by the Borrowers the “Incremental Arranger”) specifying the proposed amount thereof, request (i) an increase in any Term Loan Tranche then outstanding (which shall be on the same terms as, and become part of, the Term Loan Tranche proposed to be increased hereunder (except as otherwise provided in clauses (c) and (d) below or, subject to the terms of clause (f)(iii) below, with respect to any fees or original issue discount payable to the lenders providing such increase)) (each, a “Term Commitment Increase”) and (ii) the addition of one or more new term loan facilities, in each case, in such currency or currencies as the Borrowers identify in such notice (provided that the Administrative Agent has consented to such currencies (such consent to not be unreasonably withheld)) (each, a “New Term Facility”; and any advance made by a Lender thereunder, a “New Term Loan”; and the commitments thereof, the “New Term Commitment” and, together with the Term Commitment Increase, the “New Loan Commitments”) by an amount not to exceed the sum of (x) $20,000,000 (the “Free and Clear Amount”) , (y) an unlimited amount (the “Ratio-Based Incremental Facility”) so long as the Maximum Leverage Requirement is satisfied and (z) an amount equal to (i) all voluntary prepayments of Term Loans made pursuant to Section 2.05(a) and (ii) all voluntary repurchases of Term Loans made pursuant to the terms hereof in an amount equal to the principal amount of the Term Loans repurchased (the “Prepayment-Based Incremental Facility”) (such sum, at any such time, the “Incremental Amount”); provided that any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of the lesser of (x) a Dollar Amount equal to $10,000,000 (in the case of Term Commitment Increases or New Term Facilities) and (y) the entire amount of any increase that may be requested under this Section 2.14; provided, further, that for purposes of any New Loan Commitments established pursuant to this Section 2.14 and Incremental Equivalent Debt incurred pursuant to Section 2.15, (A) unless the Borrowers elect otherwise, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have used amounts under the Ratio-Based Incremental Facility (to the extent permitted by the pro forma calculation of the applicable ratio) prior to utilization of the Prepayment-Based Incremental Facility, (B) New Loan Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.14 and Incremental Equivalent Debt pursuant to Section 2.15 may be incurred under the Ratio-Based Incremental Facility, and/or the Prepayment-Based Incremental Facility and proceeds from any such incurrence under the Ratio-Based Incremental Facility, and/or the Prepayment-Based Incremental Facility may be utilized in a single transaction by first calculating the incurrence under the Ratio-Based Incremental Facility (without inclusion of any amounts utilized under the Prepayment-Based Incremental Facility) and then calculating the incurrence under the Prepayment-Based Incremental Facility and (C)(i) all or any portion of Indebtedness originally designated as incurred under the Prepayment-Based Incremental Facility shall automatically cease to be deemed incurred under the Prepayment-Based Incremental Facility and shall instead be deemed incurred under the Ratio-Based Incremental Facility from and after the first date on which the Borrowers would be permitted to incur all or such portion, as applicable, of the aggregate principal amount of such Indebtedness under the Ratio-Based Incremental Facility (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall have the effect of increasing the Prepayment-Based Incremental Facility, as applicable, by the Dollar Amount of such redesignated Indebtedness) and (ii) the Swedish Borrower may otherwise classify, and may later reclassify, all or any portion of Indebtedness as incurred as a Prepayment-Based Incremental Facility or Ratio-Based Incremental Facility on the date of incurrence

101

IF "1" = "1" "#4875-2924-7575v15" "" #4875-2924-7575v15


AMERICAS 120585256

and thereafter to the extent otherwise permitted on the date of such classification (or the date of any such reclassification); provided, further, that the Free and Clear Amount shall be reduced to zero at all times after the date falling 120 days after the Closing Date.. The Swedish Borrower may designate any Incremental Arranger of any New Loan Commitments with such titles under the New Loan Commitments as the Borrowers may deem appropriate.

(b) Any Lender approached to participate in any New Loan Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to participate in such increase or new facility. The Borrowers may also invite additional Eligible Assignees reasonably satisfactory to the Incremental Arranger and the Administrative Agent (but only to the extent that the consent of the Administrative Agent would be required Section 10.07(b) for an assignment to any such additional Eligible Assignee).

(c) If (i) a Term Loan Tranche is increased in accordance with this Section 2.14 or (ii) a New Term Facility is added in accordance with this Section 2.14, the Incremental Arranger and the Borrowers shall determine the effective date (the “Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such increase or New Term Facility among the applicable Lenders. The Incremental Arranger shall promptly notify the applicable Lenders of the final allocation of such increase, New Term Facility and the Increase Effective Date. In connection with (i) any increase in a Term Loan Tranche or (ii) any addition of a New Term Facility, in each case, pursuant to this Section 2.14, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended in a writing (which may be executed and delivered by the Borrowers and the Incremental Arranger (and the Lenders hereby authorize any such Incremental Arranger to execute and deliver any such documentation)) in order to establish the New Term Facility or to effectuate the increases to the Term Loan Tranche and to reflect any technical changes necessary, advisable or appropriate to give effect to such increase or new facility in accordance with its terms as set forth herein pursuant to the documentation relating to such New Term Facility. Any Term Commitment Increase or New Term Facility shall be documented under this Agreement. As of the Increase Effective Date, in the case of an increase to an existing Term Loan Tranche, the amortization schedule for the Term Loan Tranche then increased set forth in Section 2.07(a) (or any other applicable amortization schedule for New Term Loans or Specified Refinancing Term Loans) shall be amended in writing (which may be executed and delivered by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Incremental Arranger (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent and any such Incremental Arranger to execute and deliver any such documentation)) to (x) add any call protection applicable to any existing Term Loan Tranche being increased and/or (y) increase the then-remaining unpaid installments of principal by an aggregate amount equal to the additional Loans under such Term Loan Tranche being made on such date, such aggregate amount to be applied to increase such installments ratably in accordance with the amounts in effect immediately prior to the Increase Effective Date; provided that in no event shall the amount of amortization paid in respect of the Term Loan Tranche outstanding prior to the Increase Effective Date be reduced.

(d) With respect to any Term Commitment Increase or addition of New Term Facility pursuant to this Section 2.14, (i) no Event of Default shall exist immediately after giving effect to such increase; (ii) (A) in the case of any increase of a Term Loan Tranche, the final maturity of the Term Loans, New Term Loans or Specified Refinancing Term Loans increased pursuant to this Section shall be no earlier than the Latest Maturity Date for, and such additional Loans shall not have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity shorter than the longest remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of, any other outstanding Term Loans, New Term Loans or Specified Refinancing Term Loans as applicable unless the Term Lenders are also offered by the Borrowers the same amortization amounts for the corresponding year (provided that each Term Lender will be deemed to have accepted such offer unless such Term Lender notifies the Administrative Agent that it has rejected such offer by 11 a.m. five (5) Business Days (or such longer period which the Swedish Borrower agrees) after the date of such offer; provided, that Extendable Bridge Loans may have a maturity date earlier than the Latest Maturity Date of all then outstanding Term Loans and with respect to Extendable Bridge Loans, the Weighted Average Life to Maturity thereof may be shorter than the then longest remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any then outstanding Term Loans and (B) in the case of any New Term Facility, other than in the case of Extendable Bridge Loans, such New Term Facility shall have a final maturity

IF "1" = "1" "#4875-2924-7575v15" "" #4875-2924-7575v15


AMERICAS 120585256

no earlier than the then Latest Maturity Date of any Term Loan Tranche and the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such New Term Facility shall be no shorter than that of any existing Term Loan Tranche unless the Term Lenders are also offered by the Borrowers the same amortization amounts for the corresponding year (provided that each Term Lender will be deemed to have accepted such offer unless such Term Lender notifies the Administrative Agent that it has rejected such offer by 11 a.m. five (5) Business Days (or such longer period which the Swedish Borrower agrees) after the date of such offer; provided that, other than in the case of Extendable Bridge Loans, in no event shall any New Term Facility at the time of establishment thereof mature prior to the Maturity Date, (iii) after giving Pro Forma Effect to such Incremental Amount, the Maximum Incremental Amount Condition shall be satisfied and (iv) except as set forth in clause (f)(iii) below with respect to All-In Yield and with respect to final maturity and Weighted Average Life to Maturity, any such New Term Facility shall have the same terms as any Term Facility; provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, such terms may differ from the terms of any Term Facility so long as agreed between the Borrowers and the lenders providing such New Term Facility and so long as such different terms (w) to the extent more favorable to the existing Lenders than comparable terms existing in the Loan Documents, as reasonably determined by the Swedish Borrower in consultation with the Administrative Agent, are incorporated into this Agreement (or any other applicable Loan Document) for the benefit of all existing Lenders (to the extent applicable to such Lender) without further Lender consent requirements, including, for the avoidance of doubt, at the option of the Swedish Borrower, any increase in the Applicable Rate or the amount of any amortization payments relating to any existing Term Facility to bring such Applicable Rate or amortization payment in line with the New Term Facility to achieve fungibility with such existing Term Facility, (x) are applicable only to periods after the Latest Maturity Date of the Term Facilities existing at the time of the incurrence of such indebtedness or (y) are reasonably satisfactory to the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, provided that to the extent that any Incremental Facility has the benefit of a financial covenant that is tested prior to the Latest Maturity Date of the Term Facilities existing at the time of the incurrence of such indebtedness, such financial covenant shall be incorporated into this Agreement (or any other applicable Loan Document) for the benefit of all existing Lenders without further Lender consent requirements. Subject to the foregoing, the conditions precedent to each such increase or New Loan Commitment shall be solely those agreed to by the Lenders providing such increase or New Loan Commitment, as applicable, and the Borrowers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, loans in respect of any Term Commitment Increase or New Term Commitment that are secured on a pari passu basis with the Initial Term Loans shall be incurred via a joinder to this Agreement, and shall feature the exact same terms as are applicable to the Initial Term Loans, subject to Section 2.14(f) below.

(e) The additional Term Loans made under the Term Loan Tranche subject to the increases shall be made by the applicable Lenders participating therein pursuant to the procedures set forth in Sections 2.01 and 2.02 and on the date of the making of such new Term Loans, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Sections 2.01 and 2.02, such new Loans shall be added to (and form part of) each Borrowing of outstanding Term Loans under such Term Loan Tranche on a pro rata basis (based on the relative sizes of the various outstanding Borrowings), so that each Lender under such Term Loan Tranche will participate proportionately in each then outstanding Borrowing of Term Loans under the Term Loan Tranche.

(f) (i) Any New Term Facility shall rank pari passu in right of payment with the Term Facilities, not be Guaranteed by any Person that is not a Borrower or Guarantor under the Term Facilities, and be secured on a first lien “equal and ratable” basis with the Term Facilities over the same (or less) Collateral that secures the Term Facilities, (ii) any New Term Facility shall, for purposes of prepayments, be treated exactly the same as (and in any event no more favorably than), and shall, subject to this Section 2.14(f), be on the exact same terms as, any Term Facility and (iii) the All-in Yield payable by the Borrowers applicable to such New Term Facility shall be determined by the Swedish Borrower and the Lenders providing such New Term Facility, and shall not be more than 50 basis points higher than the corresponding All-in Yield payable by the Borrowers for the applicable Tranche(s) of existing Term Loans, unless the All-in Yield with respect to such applicable Tranche(s) of such then-existing Term Loans are increased to the amount necessary so that the difference between the All-in Yield with respect to such New Term

103

IF "1" = "1" "#4875-2924-7575v15" "" #4875-2924-7575v15

Facility, and the corresponding All-in Yield on such applicable Tranche(s) of such then existing Term Loans is equal to 50 basis points (provided that, to the extent such increase in All-in Yield is the result of a higher SOFR or Base Rate floor with respect to such New Term Facility, as applicable, the increase in All-in Yield for the applicable Tranche of such then existing Term Loans shall be effected solely through an increase in such “floor” (or an implementation thereof, as applicable) in respect of such applicable Tranche(s) of such then existing Term Loans to the extent of the All-in Yield differential).

(g) The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent and the Incremental Arranger (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent and the Incremental Arranger to execute and deliver such amendments) to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Borrowers as may be necessary, desirable or appropriate in order to secure any Indebtedness under this Section 2.14 with the Collateral and/or to make such technical amendments as may be necessary, desirable or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and Incremental Arranger and the Swedish Borrower in connection with the incurrence of such Indebtedness, in each case on terms consistent with this Section 2.14. If the Incremental Arranger is not the Administrative Agent, the actions authorized to be taken by the Incremental Arranger herein shall be done with the consent of the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld) and, with respect to the preparation of any documentation necessary or appropriate to carry out the provisions of this Section 2.14 (including amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents), any comments to such documentation reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent shall be reflected therein.

(h) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of any New Term Facility established using the Free and Clear Amount, (i) such New Term Facility shall not be arranged or provided (whether at the initial funding or syndication thereof) by any Affiliate of the Swedish Borrower or any Material Equityholder, (ii) such New Term Facility shall be implemented by way of an increase to the Initial Term Loans and the applicable New Term Loans shall be same the Tranche as the Initial Term Loans, (iii) except as specified in clause (iv), the applicable New Term Loans shall have identical terms as the Initial Term Loans and (iv) the All-in Yield payable by the Borrowers applicable to such New Term Facility shall be determined by the Swedish Borrower and the Lenders providing such New Term Facility, and shall not be higher than the corresponding All-in Yield payable by the Borrowers for the Initial Term Loans, unless the All-in Yield with respect to the Initial Term Loans is increased to the amount necessary so that there is no difference between All-in Yield with respect to such New Term Facility and the corresponding All-in Yield on the Initial Term Loans.

Section 2.15 Incremental Equivalent Debt.

(a) The Borrowers may from time to time after the Closing Date, upon notice by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent, specifying in reasonable detail the proposed terms thereof, request to issue or incur one or more series of senior secured, senior unsecured, senior subordinated or subordinated notes or loans or any other indebtedness (which notes or loans or other indebtedness, if secured, shall be secured by the Collateral on a “junior” basis to the Liens on the Collateral securing the Obligations in each case over the same (or less) Collateral that secures the Obligations) and guaranteed only by Loan Parties or entities who become Loan Parties (such notes or loans or other indebtedness, collectively, “Incremental Equivalent Debt”) in an amount not to exceed the Incremental Amount (at the time of incurrence); provided that that any Incremental Amounts established pursuant to Section 2.14 and Incremental Equivalent Debt Incurred pursuant to this Section 2.15, unless the Borrowers elect otherwise, (A) will count, first, to reduce the amount available under the Ratio-Based Incremental Facilities (to the extent permitted by the pro forma calculation of the applicable ratio) and second to reduce the maximum amount under the Prepayment-Based Incremental Facility, (B) Incremental Equivalent Debt pursuant to this Section 2.15 may be incurred under the Ratio-Based Incremental Facilities and the Prepayment-Based Incremental Facilities, and proceeds from any such incurrence may be utilized in a single transaction, by first calculating the incurrence under the Ratio-Based Incremental Facilities (without inclusion of any amounts utilized pursuant to the Prepayment-Based Incremental Facility) and then

calculating the incurrence under the Prepayment-Based Incremental Facility and (C)(i) all or any portion of Incremental Equivalent Debt originally designated as incurred under the Prepayment-Based Incremental Facility shall automatically cease to be deemed incurred under the Prepayment-Based Incremental Facility and shall instead be deemed incurred under the Ratio-Based Incremental Facility from and after the first date on which the Borrowers would be permitted to incur all or such portion, as applicable, of the aggregate principal amount of such Incremental Equivalent Debt being so redesignated under the Ratio-Based Incremental Facility (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall have the effect of increasing the Prepayment-Based Incremental Facility, as applicable, by the Dollar Amount of such redesignated Incremental Equivalent Debt) and (ii) the Borrowers may otherwise classify, and may later reclassify, all or any portion of Indebtedness as incurred as a Prepayment-Based Incremental Facility or Ratio-Based Incremental Facility on the date of incurrence and thereafter to the extent otherwise permitted on the date of such classification (or the date of any such reclassification). The Borrowers may appoint any Person that is not an Affiliate of the Borrowers as arranger of such Incremental Equivalent Debt (such Person (who may be the Administrative Agent, if it so agrees), the “Incremental Equivalent Debt Arranger”).

(b) As a condition precedent to the incurrence of any Incremental Equivalent Debt pursuant to this Section 2.15, (i) such Incremental Equivalent Debt shall not be Guaranteed by any Person that is not a Loan Party or that does not become a Loan Party, (ii) such Incremental Equivalent Debt shall be subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, (iii) such Incremental Equivalent Debt shall have a final maturity no earlier than the then Latest Maturity Date of the Term Facilities, provided, that Extendable Bridge Loans may have a maturity date earlier than the Latest Maturity Date of the Term Facilities; provided, further, that, other than in the case of Extendable Bridge Loans, in no event shall any Incremental Equivalent Debt at the time of establishment thereof mature prior to the Maturity Date of the Sustainable Revolving Credit Facility, (iv) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Incremental Equivalent Debt shall not be shorter than that of any then-existing Term Loan Tranche unless the Term Lenders are also offered by the Borrowers the same amortization amounts for the corresponding year (provided that each Term Lender will be deemed to have accepted such offer unless such Term Lender notifies the Administrative Agent that it has rejected such offer by 11 a.m. five (5) Business Days (or such longer period to which the Swedish Borrower agrees) after the date of such offer; provided, that, with respect to Extendable Bridge Loans, the Weighted Average Life to Maturity thereof may be shorter than the then longest remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any then outstanding Term Loans, (v) [reserved], (vi) such Incremental Equivalent Debt shall not require mandatory prepayments to be made except to the extent required to be applied first pro rata (or greater than pro rata) to the Term Facilities, (vii) after giving pro forma effect to the incurrence of such Incremental Equivalent Debt, the Maximum Incremental Amount Condition shall be satisfied, (viii) [reserved] and (ix) subject to clauses (iii), (iv) and (viii) above with respect to final maturity and Weighted Average Life to Maturity, the amortization schedules, any fees payable in connection with such Incremental Equivalent Debt and all other terms of such Incremental Equivalent Debt will be as agreed between the Borrowers and the applicable providers of such Incremental Equivalent Debt; provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, such Incremental Equivalent Debt shall not have covenants and events of default (excluding pricing and optional prepayment and redemption terms) that are more restrictive (as determined by the Swedish Borrower in good faith) when taken as a whole than the covenants and events of default applicable to the then existing Term Facilities unless such more restrictive covenants and/or events of default (x) are incorporated into this Agreement (or any other applicable Loan Document) for the benefit of all existing Lenders of Term Loans (to the extent applicable to such Lender of Term Loans) without further amendment requirements (which amendment may be effected by only Parent, the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent) or (y) are applicable only to periods after the Latest Maturity Date of the Term Facilities existing at the time of incurrence of such Incremental Equivalent Debt, provided further that to the extent that any Incremental Equivalent Debt has the benefit of a financial covenant that is tested prior to the Latest Maturity Date of the Term Facilities existing at the time of the incurrence of such Incremental Equivalent Debt, such financial covenant shall be incorporated into this Agreement (or any other applicable Loan Document) for the benefit of all existing Lenders without further amendment requirements. Subject to the foregoing, the conditions precedent to each such incurrence shall be agreed to by the applicable creditors providing such Incremental Equivalent Debt and the Borrowers. Any Incremental Equivalent Debt shall not be documented under this Agreement.

(i) That Defaulting Xxxxxx’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 10.01.

(ii) Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.09), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrowers may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Default or Event of Default pursuant to Sections 8.01(a) or (f) exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers as a result of any non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrowers against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions to funding such Loan were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of that Defaulting Lender.

(iii) [reserved].

(iv) [reserved].

(b) If the Swedish Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may reasonably determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their ratable shares in respect of that Lender, whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties and subject to Section 10.24, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Xxxxxx having been a Defaulting Lender.

Section 2.18 Specified Refinancing Debt.

(a) The Borrowers may, from time to time after the Closing Date, add one or more new term loan facilities to the Facilities (“Specified Refinancing Debt”; and the commitments in respect of such new term facilities, the “Specified Refinancing Term Commitment” pursuant to procedures reasonably specified by any Person that is not an Affiliate of the Borrowers appointed by the Borrowers as agent under such Specified Refinancing Debt (such Person (who may be the Administrative Agent, if it so agrees), the “Specified Refinancing Agent”) and reasonably acceptable to the Borrowers, to refinance all or any portion of any Term Loan Tranches then outstanding under this Agreement pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment; provided that such Specified Refinancing Debt: (i) will rank pari passu in right of payment as the other Loans and Commitments hereunder; (ii) will not have obligors other than the Loan Parties or entities who shall have become Loan Parties (it being understood that the roles of such obligors as borrowers or guarantors with respect to such obligations may be interchanged); (iii) will be (x) unsecured or (y) secured by all or a portion of the Collateral on a first lien “equal and ratable” basis with the Liens on the Collateral securing the Obligations or on a “junior” basis to the Liens on the Collateral securing the Obligations in each case over the same (or less) Collateral that secures the Obligations (in each case, if documented in an agreement that is separate from this Agreement, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement); (iv) will have terms and conditions (other than pricing and optional prepayment and redemption terms) that are substantially identical to, or less favorable, when taken as a whole, to the lenders providing such Specified Refinancing Debt than, the terms and conditions of the Facilities and Loans being refinanced (as reasonably determined by the Swedish Borrower in good faith (provided that, at the Swedish Borrower’s option, delivery of a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Swedish Borrower to the Administrative Agent in good faith at least five Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior to the incurrence of such Specified Refinancing Debt, together with a reasonably detailed description of the material terms and conditions of such Refinancing Debt or drafts of the documentation relating thereto, stating that the Swedish Borrower has determined in good faith that such terms and conditions satisfy the requirement set forth in this clause (iv), shall be conclusive evidence that such terms and conditions satisfy such requirement unless the Administrative Agent provides notice to the Swedish Borrower of its objection (including a reasonable description of the basis upon which it objects)) within five Business Days after receipt of such certificate from the Swedish Borrower); (v) will have a maturity date that is not prior to the date that is the scheduled Maturity Date of, and will have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity that is not shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of, the Term Loans being refinanced unless the Term Lenders are also offered by the Borrowers the same amortization amounts for the corresponding year (provided that each Term Lender will be deemed to have accepted such offer unless such Term

Any Lender approached to provide all or a portion of any Specified Refinancing Debt may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such Specified Refinancing Debt. To achieve the full amount of a requested issuance of Specified Refinancing Debt, and subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent (to the extent the consent of the Administrative Agent would be required to assign any Loans under such Tranches subject to such refinancing to such Eligible Assignee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), the Borrowers may also invite additional Eligible Assignees to become Lenders in respect of such Specified Refinancing Debt pursuant to a joinder agreement to this Agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Specified Refinancing Agent. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.18 to the contrary, any Specified Refinancing Debt that is secured by all or a portion of the Collateral on a first lien “equal and ratable” basis with the Liens on the Collateral securing the Obligations shall be subject to Section 2.14(f)(iii) of this Agreement on the same basis as a “New Term Facility” as set forth therein.

(b) The effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment shall be subject to conditions as are mutually agreed with the participating lenders providing such Specified Refinancing Debt (which may include receipt by the Specified Refinancing Agent of legal opinions, board resolutions, officers’ certificates and/or reaffirmation agreements with respect to the Borrowers and the Guarantors, including any supplements or amendments to the Collateral Documents providing for such Specified Refinancing Debt to be secured thereby, consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date pursuant to this Agreement or delivered from time to time pursuant to Section 6.12, 6.14 and/or 6.16 (other than changes to such legal opinions resulting from a change in Law, change in fact or change to counsel’s form of opinion reasonably satisfactory to the Specified Refinancing Agent)). The Lenders hereby authorize the Specified Refinancing Agent to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Borrowers as may be necessary, desirable or appropriate in order to establish new Tranches of Specified Refinancing Debt and to make such technical amendments as may be necessary, desirable or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Swedish Borrower in connection with the establishment of such new Tranches, in each case on terms consistent with and/or to effect the provisions of this Section 2.18.

(d) The Specified Refinancing Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Refinancing Amendment. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Specified Refinancing Debt incurred pursuant thereto (including the addition of such Specified Refinancing Debt as separate “Facilities” hereunder and treated in a manner consistent with the Facilities being refinanced, including for purposes of prepayments and voting). Any Refinancing Amendment may, without the consent of any Person other than the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), the Specified Refinancing Agent and the Lenders providing such Specified Refinancing Debt, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary, desirable or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Specified Refinancing Agent and the Swedish Borrower, to effect the provisions of or consistent with this Section 2.18.

ARTICLE III.
Taxes, Increased Costs Protection and Illegality

Section 3.01 Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of a Borrower or any other Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Law. If any applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from or in respect of any such payment, then the relevant Borrower, the other applicable Loan Party, the Administrative Agent or other applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, the sum payable by the relevant Borrower or other applicable Loan Party, the Administrative Agent or other applicable withholding agent shall be increased as necessary so that after all such deductions or withholdings of Indemnified Taxes have been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b) In addition, but without duplication, the Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(c) The Borrowers shall indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.01) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrowers by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

AMERICAS 120585256

(d) Within 30 days after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 3.01, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment or a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e) If any Recipient determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.01 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 3.01 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall promptly repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this clause (e) (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 clause (e), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this clause (e) 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 clause (e) 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.

(f) [reserved].

(g) (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to any payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation and/or formalities set forth in Section 3.01(g)(ii)(A), (B) and (C) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(A) each Recipient that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or about the date on which such Recipient becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent) executed copies of IRS Form W-9 (or any successor form), certifying that such Recipient is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding;

(B) if a payment made to a Recipient under any Loan Document would be subject to Tax imposed by FATCA if such Recipient 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 Recipient shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including

together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

Each Recipient agrees that if any documentation it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall promptly update and deliver such form or certification to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent or promptly notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. Each Recipient hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to deliver to the Loan Parties and to any successor Administrative Agent any documentation provided by such Recipient to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 3.01(g).

(h) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 30 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Xxxxxx’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.07(k) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (h).

(i) The agreements in this Section 3.01 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

Section 3.02 VAT.

(a) All amounts set out or expressed in this Agreement or in a Loan Document to be payable by any party to any Secured Party which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for any supply or supplies for VAT purposes shall be deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on such supply or supplies, and accordingly, subject to Section 3.02(b) below, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Secured Party to any party under this Agreement or a Loan Document and the Secured Party is required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, that party shall pay to the Secured Party (in addition to and at the same time as paying any other consideration for such supply) an amount equal to the amount of such VAT (and such Secured Party shall promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to such party).

(b) If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Secured Party (the “Supplier”) to any other of the Secured Parties (the “Subject Recipient”) under a Loan Document, and any party other than the Subject Recipient (the “Subject Party”) is required by the terms of any Loan Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for such supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse such Secured Party in respect of that consideration):

(i) where the Supplier is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, the Subject Party shall also pay to the Supplier (in addition to and at the same time as paying such amount) an amount equal to the amount of such VAT. The Subject Recipient shall, where this Section 3.02(b)(i) applies, promptly pay to the

113

IF "1" = "1" "#4875-2924-7575v15" "" #4875-2924-7575v15


AMERICAS 120585256

Subject Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment obtained by the Subject Recipient from the relevant tax authority which the Subject Recipient reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on the supply; and

(ii) where the Subject Recipient is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, the Subject Party shall promptly, following demand from the Subject Recipient, pay to the Subject Recipient an amount equal to the VAT chargeable on that supply but only to the extent that the Subject Recipient reasonably determines that it is not entitled to credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of that VAT.

(c) Where a Loan Document requires any party to reimburse or indemnify a Secured Party for any cost or expense, that party shall reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) the Secured Party for the full amount of such cost or expense, including such part thereof as represents VAT, save to the extent that the Secured Party reasonably determines that it is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority.

(d) Any reference in this Section 3.02 to any party shall, at any time when such party is treated as a member of a group or unity (or fiscal unity) for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the person who is treated at that time as making the supply, or (as appropriate) receiving the supply, under the grouping rules (as provided for in Article 11 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC (or any predecessor to it or supplemental to that Directive) or as implemented by the relevant member state of the European Union) or any other similar provision in any jurisdiction which is not a member state of the European Union) so that a reference to a party shall be construed as a reference to that party or the relevant group or unity (or fiscal unity) of which that party is a member for VAT purposes at the relevant time or the relevant representative member (or head) of that group or unity (or fiscal unity) at the relevant time (as the case may be).

(e) In relation to any supply made by a Secured Party to any party under a Loan Document, if reasonably requested by the Secured Party, that party must promptly provide details of its VAT registration and such other information as is reasonably requested in connection with the Secured Party’s VAT reporting requirements in relation to such supply.

Section 3.03 Illegality.

If any Lender or Affiliate of a Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or Affiliate of such Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate or Term SOFR, or to determine or charge interest based upon SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate or Term SOFR, then, upon notice thereof by such Lender or such Affiliate of a Lender to the Borrowers (through the Administrative Agent), (a) any obligation of such Lender or such Affiliate of such Lender to make SOFR Loans, and any right of the Borrowers to continue SOFR Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to SOFR Loans, shall be suspended, and (b) the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate”, in each case until each affected Lender or Affiliate of a Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowers shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, upon demand from any Lender or Affiliate of a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all SOFR Loans to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate”), on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender or such Affiliate may lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender or such Affiliate may not lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Loans to such day, in each case until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such affected Lender or such affected Affiliate of a Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender or such Affiliate to determine or charge interest rates based upon SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate or Term SOFR. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the applicable Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so

114

IF "1" = "1" "#4875-2924-7575v15" "" #4875-2924-7575v15


AMERICAS 120585256

prepaid or converted. Each Lender and each of its applicable Affiliates agrees to designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender or Affiliate of a Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender or such Affiliate.

Section 3.04 Alternate Rate of Interest.

(a) Subject to clauses (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f) of this Section 3.04, if:

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

(ii) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Term Benchmark Borrowing, the Adjusted Term SOFR for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to Parent and the Lenders by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until (x) the Administrative Agent notifies Parent and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist with respect to the relevant Benchmark and (y) Parent delivers a new Committed Loan Notice in accordance with the terms of Section 2.02, any Committed Loan Notice that requests a SOFR Borrowing or requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a SOFR Borrowing shall instead be deemed to be an Committed Loan Notice, for a Base Rate Loan; provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one Type of Borrowings, then all other Types of Borrowings shall be permitted. Furthermore, if any SOFR Loan is outstanding on the date of Parent’s receipt of the notice from the Administrative Agent referred to in this Section 3.04(a) with respect to the Benchmark applicable to such SOFR Loan, then until (x) the Administrative Agent notifies Parent and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist with respect to the relevant Benchmark and (y) Parent delivers a new Committed Loan Notice in accordance with the terms of Section 2.02, any SOFR Loan shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan, be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, a Base Rate Loan.

(b) 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 to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) 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 (2) 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.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark

115

IF "1" = "1" "#4875-2924-7575v15" "" #4875-2924-7575v15


AMERICAS 120585256

Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(d) The Administrative Agent will promptly notify Parent and the Lenders of (1) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, (2) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (3) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (4) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (f) below and (5) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 3.04, 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 3.04.

(e) 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 Rate) and either (1) 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 (2) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (1) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (2) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(f) Upon Parent’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, Parent may revoke any request for a SOFR Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, Parent will be deemed to have converted any request for a SOFR Borrowing into a request for a Borrowing of, or conversion to, a Base Rate Borrowing. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of Base Rate. Furthermore, if any SOFR Loan is outstanding on the date of Parent’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to a Benchmark Rate applicable to such SOFR Loan, then until such time as a Benchmark Replacement is implemented pursuant to this Section 3.04 any SOFR Loan shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan, be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, a Base Rate Loan.

Section 3.05 Increased Cost and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy and Liquidity Requirements.

(a) If any Lender reasonably determines that as a result of the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any Law, in each case after the date hereof, or such Lender’s compliance therewith, there shall be any material increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Loan the interest on which is determined by reference to Term SOFR, or a material reduction in the amount received or receivable by such Lender in connection with any of the foregoing (including Taxes on or in respect of its loans, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, but excluding for purposes of this Section 3.05(a) any such increased costs or reduction in amount resulting from (i) Indemnified Taxes and (ii) Excluded Taxes), then within 30 days after demand of such Lender setting forth in

116

IF "1" = "1" "#4875-2924-7575v15" "" #4875-2924-7575v15


AMERICAS 120585256

reasonable detail such increased costs (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent given in accordance with Section 3.07), the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction.

(b) If any Lender reasonably determines that the introduction of any Law regarding capital adequacy and liquidity requirements or any change therein or in the interpretation thereof, in each case after the date hereof, or compliance by such Lender (or its Lending Office) therewith, has the effect of materially reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any Person controlling such Lender as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy and such Xxxxxx’s desired return on capital), then within 30 days after demand of such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the charge and the calculation of such reduced rate of return (and certifying that such Lender is generally charging such amounts to similarly situated borrowers) (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent given in accordance with Section 3.07), the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender or Person controlling such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction.

(c) The Borrowers shall pay to each Lender, (i) as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves or liquidity with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Term SOFR funds or deposits, additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each SOFR Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves or liquidity allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error), and (ii) as long as such Lender shall be required to comply with any liquidity requirement, reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any other central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the maintenance of the Commitments or the funding of SOFR Loans, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Commitment or Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) which in each case shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan; provided the Borrowers shall have received at least 30 days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest or cost from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice 30 days’ prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest or cost shall be due and payable 30 days from receipt of such notice.

(d) For purposes of this Section 3.05, (i) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, regulations, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities (other than foreign regulatory authorities in Switzerland), in each case pursuant to Basel III (including to the extent implemented through CRD IV), shall, in each case, be deemed to have gone into effect after the date hereof, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.

Section 3.06 Funding Losses. Upon written demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating such compensation, the Borrowers shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

(a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any SOFR Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);

(b) any failure by a Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan or pursuant to a conditional notice) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any SOFR Loan on the date or in the amount notified by such Borrower;

117

IF "1" = "1" "#4875-2924-7575v15" "" #4875-2924-7575v15


AMERICAS 120585256

(d) any mandatory assignment of such Xxxxxx’s SOFR Loans pursuant to Section 3.08 on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loans,

including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained (but excluding anticipated profits). The Borrowers shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.

Section 3.07 Matters Applicable to All Requests for Compensation.

(a) A certificate of any Agent or any Lender claiming compensation under this Article III and setting forth in reasonable detail a calculation of the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Agent or such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. With respect to any Lender’s claim for compensation under Section 3.03, 3.04(b) or 3.05, the Loan Parties shall not be required to compensate such Lender for any amount incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrowers of the event that gives rise to such claim; provided that, if the circumstance giving rise to such claim is retroactive, then such 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.05, or the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.03, then such Lender will, if requested by the Borrowers and at the Borrowers’ expense, use commercially reasonable efforts to designate another Lending Office for any Loan affected by such event; provided that such efforts (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.05, as applicable, in the future and (ii) would not, in the judgment of such Lender be inconsistent with the internal policies of, or otherwise be disadvantageous in any material legal, economic or regulatory respect to such Lender or its Lending Office. The provisions of this clause (b) shall not affect or postpone any Obligations of the Borrowers or rights of such Lender pursuant to Section 3.05.

(c) A Lender shall not be entitled to any compensation pursuant to the foregoing sections to the extent such Lender is not imposing such charges or requesting such compensation from borrowers (similarly situated to the Borrowers hereunder) under comparable syndicated credit facilities.

Section 3.08 Replacement of Lenders under Certain Circumstances.

(a) If at any time (i) the Borrowers become obligated to pay additional amounts or indemnity payments described in Section 3.01 or 3.05 (other than with respect to Other Taxes) as a result of any condition described in such Sections, and such Lender entitled to such payment has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 3.07(b), or any Lender ceases to make SOFR Loans as a result of any condition described in Section 3.03 or 3.04(b) or (ii) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender (collectively, a “Replaceable Lender”), then the Borrowers may, on three Business Days’ prior written notice (for the avoidance of doubt, such notice shall be deemed provided on the same day that an amendment or waiver is posted to the Lenders for consent) from the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent and such Lender, either (i) replace such Lender by causing such Lender to (and such Lender shall be obligated to) assign pursuant to Section 10.07(b) (with the assignment fee to be paid by the Borrowers in such instance unless waived by the Administrative Agent) all of its rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.05) and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Eligible Assignees; provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to the Borrowers to find a replacement Lender or other such Person or (ii) so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, terminate the Commitment and prepay the Loans of such Lender and repay all Obligations of the Borrowers owing (and the amount of all accrued interest and fees in respect thereof) to such Lender relating to the Loans and participations held by such Lender as of such termination date; provided, further, that in the

AMERICAS 120585256

case of any such replacement as a result of the Borrowers having become obligated to pay amounts described in Section 3.01 or 3.05, such replacement would eliminate or reduce payments pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.05, as applicable, in the future. Any Lender being replaced pursuant to this Section 3.08(a) shall (i) execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such Xxxxxx’s Commitment and outstanding Loans and (ii) subject to clause (C) below, deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrowers (for return to the Borrowers) or the Administrative Agent. Pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, (A) the assignee Lender shall acquire all or a portion, as the case may be, of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and outstanding Loans, (B) all Obligations relating to the Loans and participations (and the amount of all accrued interest, fees and premiums in respect thereof) so assigned shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender to such assigning Lender concurrently with such assignment and assumption and (C) upon such payment (x) if so requested by the assignee Lender, the assigning Lender shall deliver to the assignee Lender the applicable Note or Notes executed by the Borrowers, (y) the assignee Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and (z) the assigning Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder with respect to such assigned Loans, Commitments and participations, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement, which shall survive as to such assigning Lender. In connection with any such replacement, if any such Replaceable Lender does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly executed Assignment and Assumption reflecting such replacement within two Business Days of the date on which the assignee Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and Assumption to such Replaceable Lender, then such Replaceable Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Assumption without any action on the part of the Replaceable Lender. In connection with the replacement of any Lender pursuant to this Section 3.08(a), the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such replacement. A Lender shall not be required to be replaced if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such replacement cease to apply.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, the Lender that acts as the Administrative Agent may not be replaced hereunder except in accordance with the terms of Section 9.09.

(c) In the event that (i) the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent has requested the Lenders to consent to a waiver of any provisions of the Loan Documents or to agree to any amendment or other modification thereto, (ii) the waiver, amendment or modification in question requires the agreement of all affected Lenders in accordance with the terms of Section 10.01 or all the Lenders with respect to all Loans or a certain class of the Loans and (iii) the Required Lenders have agreed to such waiver, amendment or modification, then any Lender who does not agree to such waiver, amendment or modification, in each case, shall be deemed a “Non-Consenting Lender”; provided, that the term “Non-Consenting Lender” shall also include any Lender that rejects (or is deemed to reject) (x) a loan modification offer under Section 10.01, which loan modification has been accepted by at least the Majority Lenders of the respective Tranche of Loans whose Loans and/or Commitments are to be extended pursuant to such loan modification and (y) any Lender that does not elect to become a lender in respect of any Specified Refinancing Debt pursuant to Section 2.18.

Section 3.09 Survival. All of the Loan Parties’ obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder, any assignment by or replacement of a Lender and any resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent.

For purposes of determining compliance with this covenant, in the event that an item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt or is entitled to be incurred or issued as Ratio Debt, the Swedish Borrower may, in its sole discretion, at the time of incurrence or issuance, divide or classify such item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) in any manner that complies with this covenant (to the extent the Borrowers or such Restricted Subsidiary is able to Incur any Liens related thereto as Permitted Liens after such classification), but may not later divide and/or reclassify any such item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof).

Section 7.07 Accounting Changes.

Section 7.08 Financial Covenants.

(a) Parent, Holdings and the Borrowers shall not permit:

(i) Minimum EBITDA. Four Quarter Consolidated EBITDA of the Borrower Parties to be less than or equal to [***]:

(ii) Minimum Liquidity. Liquidity to be less than or equal to:

(1) at all times on and prior to December 31, 2023, [***];

(2) at all times during the fiscal quarters ending March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, [***];

(3) at all times during the fiscal quarters ending September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2024, [***]; and

(i) Solely in the case of the covenants described in Sections 7.08(a)(i) and 7.08(a)(iii) above, compliance with such covenants described in Sections 7.08(a)(i) and 7.08(a)(iii) above shall be determined by reference to and upon delivery of the Compliance Certificate delivered in respect of such fiscal quarter;

(ii) if a member of the Group acquires or disposes of a company or business (including any commitment in respect thereof), for each Test Period ending on a date which is less than 12 months after that company or business became or, as applicable, ceased to be a part of the Group, the results of that company or, as applicable, attributable to that business will be deemed included with those of the rest of the Group or, as applicable, excluded for the full duration of such Test Period as if that company or business had become or, as applicable, ceased to be a part of the Group at the start of the Test Period. Such results in respect of an acquired company or business shall be adjusted on a pro forma basis so that they take into account the reasonably identifiable and supportable anticipated full run-rate effect of any synergies and cost savings (as projected by Parent in good faith) realizable or which Parent believes can be obtained during the period of 12 months from the date of the relevant acquisition combining the operations of the acquired company or business with the operations of the Group, and it may be assumed for the purposes of calculating such pro forma increase or decrease to Consolidated EBITDA that the full run-rate effect of such synergies and net costs savings are and will be fully realizable on the first day of and during the entire Test Period (such synergies and cost-savings, “Pro Forma Adjustments”) net of the amount of actual benefits realized prior to or during such period from such actions; provided that the aggregate amount of all Pro Forma Adjustments increasing Consolidated EBITDA for any Test Period, together with the aggregate amount of all Exceptional Items and Pension Items increasing Consolidated EBITDA for such Test Period, shall not exceed the greater of (A) SEK 100,000,000 (or its

(iii) if such financial covenant would be breached on the basis of exchange rates prevailing on the last date of any Test Period, but would not be breached on the basis of average exchange rates over that Test Period, then such average exchange rates shall apply for that Test Period and for any following Test Period after such change.

(i) If, in respect of any Test Period (the “First Relevant Test Period”), the Borrowers are in breach of any obligation set forth in clause (a)(i) or (a)(iii) (each, an “EBITDA Based Financial Covenant”), then the Borrowers may, within 10 days of the earlier of (x) the date of delivery of the Compliance Certificate or (y) the date on which the Compliance Certificate was required to be delivered (the “EBITDA Based Financial Covenant Cure Expiration Date”) relating to such First Relevant Test Period, procure the contribution of the net proceeds in cash by way of New Company Injection(s) to the Parent (which shall substantially contemporaneously contribute (directly or indirectly) such net proceeds to the Swedish Borrower) (such net proceeds being a “Equity Based Financial Covenant Equity Cure Amount” and such contribution being an “EBITDA Based Financial Covenant Equity Cure”) which, subject to the conditions in clause (iii) below and provided that (1) the Swedish Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent that the Swedish Borrower has received the EBITDA Based Financial Covenant Equity Cure Amount and (2) the Swedish Borrower has received such New Company Injection(s), then such EBITDA Based Financial Covenant Equity Cure Amount shall have the effect that applicable EBITDA Based Financial Covenant in breach will be calculated giving effect to the following adjustments:

(A) in the case of clause (a)(iii), for the purpose of calculating Specified Total Net Leverage Ratio under clause (a)(iii), Specified Total Net Debt shall be reduced and recalculated assuming that the EBITDA Based Financial Covenant Equity Cure Amount had been contributed and applied prior to the last day of the First Relevant Period but not to exceed the amount necessary to cure the breach of clause (a)(iii); and

(B) in the case of clause (a)(i), for the purpose of calculating Consolidated EBITDA solely for purposes of clause (a)(i), and not for purposes of the determination of the Specified Total Net Leverage Ratio under clause (a)(iii), the EBITDA Based Financial Covenant Equity Cure Amount shall be added to Consolidated EBITDA for the First Relevant Period (and any subsequent Test Period including the relevant fiscal quarter), but not to exceed the amount necessary to cure the breach of clause (a)(i),

and compliance with the applicable EBITDA Based Financial Covenants will be determined by reference to the recalculations (or calculations) described above.

(ii) If the Borrowers are in breach of any obligation set forth in clause (a)(ii) at any time (the “Liquidity Based Financial Covenant” and, together with the EBITDA Based Financial Covenants, collectively, the “Financial Covenants”), then the Borrowers may, within 10 days of the earliest of (w) the date the notice of the breach (or prospective breach) is provided under Section 6.03(f) or (g), (x) the date on which the notice of the breach (or prospective breach) is required to be provided under Section 6.03(f) or (g), (y) the date of delivery of the Liquidity Report pursuant to Section 6.02(h) demonstrating such breach and (z) the date on which the Liquidity Report for the applicable fiscal month in which such breach occurred was required to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.02(h) (the “Liquidity Covenant Cure Expiration Date” and, together with the EBITDA Based Financial Covenant Cure Expiration Date, collectively, the “Cure Expiration Date”), procure the contribution of the net proceeds in cash by way of New Company Injection(s) to the Parent (which shall substantially contemporaneously contribute (directly or indirectly) such net proceeds to the Swedish Borrower) (such net proceeds being a “Liquidity Covenant Equity Cure Amount” and, together with the EBITDA Based Financial Covenant Equity Cure Amount, collectively, the “Equity Cure Amount”; such contribution being an “Liquidity Covenant Equity Cure” and, together with the EBTIDA Based

(iii) The Equity Cure Amount may only be taken into account to remedy or prevent non-compliance with the Financial Covenants as set out in clauses (i) and (ii) above if the Borrowers do not make any such election or receive the benefit of an Equity Cure:

(A) more than three times over the life of the Term Facilities;

(B) more than twice during any consecutive four-fiscal-quarter period;

(D) in an amount greater than the Equity Cure Amount necessary to cure any Event of Default in respect of Section 7.08(a).

(iv) The Equity Cure Amount will only have the effect of remedying the breaches of the Financial Covenants and not for any other purpose (including with respect to any other basket, builder basket, usage or other purposes under the Loan Documents).

Section 7.09 Convertible Bonds Payments.

Any Lender prevented by applicable law or its constitutional documents to grant the release from the restrictions under section 181 of the German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch) shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Security Agent, respectively, in writing without undue delay.

Section 9.02 Delegation of Duties.

The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to any Event of Default as may be directed by the Required Lenders, as applicable, in accordance with Article VIII; provided, however, that unless and until the Administrative Agent has received any such direction, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders.

Each Lender acknowledges that no Agent-Related Person has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender as to any matter, including whether Agent-Related Persons have disclosed material information in their possession.

Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by any Agent herein, such Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any of the Loan Parties or any of their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of any Agent-Related Person.

Section 9.07 Indemnification of Agents. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, each Lender shall, on a ratable basis based on such Xxxxxx’s Pro Rata Share of all the Facilities, indemnify upon demand each Agent-Related Person (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of any Loan Party and without limiting the obligation of any Loan Party to do so), and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person in each case from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by such Agent-Related Person; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any Indemnified Liabilities incurred by an Agent-Related Person to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities are determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent-Related Person’s own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct; provided further, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be required by the Loan Documents) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 9.07. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Liabilities, this Section 9.07 shall apply whether or not any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender or any other Person. Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent and/or the Security Agent upon demand for its Pro Rata Share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Security Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Administrative Agent or the Security Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrowers; provided that such reimbursement by the Lenders shall not affect the Borrowers’ continuing reimbursement obligations with respect thereto; provided, further, that failure of any Lender to indemnify or reimburse the Administrative Agent or the Security Agent shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation in respect thereof. The undertaking in this Section 9.07 shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments, the payment of all other Obligations and the resignation or removal of the Administrative

privileges with respect to such Collateral and to perform such duties with respect to such Collateral, and every covenant and obligation contained in the Loan Documents and necessary to the exercise or performance thereof by such Supplemental Agent shall run to and be enforceable by either the Administrative Agent and the Security Agent or such Supplemental Agent, and (ii) the provisions of this Article IX and of Sections 10.04 and 10.05 (obligating the Borrowers to pay the Administrative Agent’s and the Security Agent’s expenses and to indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Security Agent) that refer to the Administrative Agent and/or the Security Agent shall inure to the benefit of such Supplemental Agent and all references therein to the Administrative Agent and/or Security Agent shall be deemed to be references to the Administrative Agent and/or Security Agent and/or such Supplemental Agent, as the context may require.

Each Lender agrees that, in each such case, or if it otherwise becomes aware a Payment (or portion thereof) may have been sent in error, such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.

(d) Each party’s obligations under this Section 9.16 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations under any Loan Document.

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

to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers), in each case unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers otherwise consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met; provided, further, that assignments to an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund shall not be subject to the foregoing minimum amounts;

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

(iii) no consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by clause (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition (A) the consent of the Swedish Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed unless otherwise specified herein) shall be required for any assignment unless (1) a Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund (other than any Disqualified Institution, to the extent the list of Disqualified Institutions has been made available, or is available upon request of the Administrative Agent, to the Lenders); provided that the Borrowers shall be deemed to have consented to any assignment unless the Swedish Borrower objects thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten Business Days after having received notice thereof and (B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment unless such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that, except in the case of any assignment by a Lender to any of its Affiliates or any of its Approved Funds (as the case may be), the Administrative Agent shall acknowledge any such assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or any of its Approved Funds;

(iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent (or, if previously agreed with the Administrative Agent, manually), together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (except, (w) no such fee shall be required when such assignment is made in connection with the primary syndication of the Term Loans, (x) in the case of contemporaneous assignments by any Lender to one or more Approved Funds, only a single processing and recording fee shall be payable for such assignments, (y) no processing and recording fee shall be payable for assignments among Approved Funds or among any Lender and any of its Affiliates or Approved Funds and (z) the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may elect to waive such processing and recording fee in the case of any assignment). Each Eligible Assignee that is not an existing Lender shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire;

(v) no such assignment shall be made (A) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this subclause (A), (B) to any natural person, (C) to any Disqualified Institution, to the extent the list of Disqualified Institutions has been made available, or is available upon request of the Administrative Agent, to the Lenders or (D) to Parent, Holdings, the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries or any Affiliate of Parent;

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lenders acknowledge and agree that the Administrative Agent shall not (x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a Disqualified Institution or Defaulting Lender or (y) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of loans, or disclosure of confidential information, to, or the restrictions on any exercise of rights or remedies of, any Disqualified Institution or Defaulting Lender;

(ix) the Eligible Assignee confirms its status pursuant to Section 3.01(g) and delivers to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent documentation pursuant to Section 3.01(g); and

(x) the Eligible Assignee shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05 than the assigning Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the Commitment(s) and the Loans assigned to such Eligible Assignee, had such assignment not taken place.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.07(c), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of, and subject to the obligations pursuant to, Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, 10.04 and 10.05 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment, and subject to the obligations set forth in Section 10.08). Upon request, and the surrender by the assigning Lender of its Note, the Borrowers (at their expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement (other than any purported assignment or transfer to a Disqualified Institution, to the extent the list of Disqualified Institutions has been made available, or is available upon the request of the Administrative Agent, to the Lenders) that does not comply with this clause (b) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 10.07(d).

(c) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register in which it shall record the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of (and stated interest amounts on) the Loans and amounts due under Section 2.03, owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Agents and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as Defaulting Lender. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers, any Agent and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice; provided that the Register shall only be available to each Lender in respect of itself. This Section 10.07(c) and Section 2.11 shall be construed so that all Loans are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Section 163(f) of the Code and any related final or proposed Treasury regulations (or any other relevant or successor provisions of the Code or of such Treasury regulations).

(d) Any Lender may at any time, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, a Person that the Administrative Agent has identified in a notice to the Lenders as a Defaulting Lender or a Disqualified Institution, to the extent the list of Disqualified Institutions has been made available, or is available upon the request of the Administrative Agent, to the Lenders) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Agents and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 10.01 that directly and adversely affects such Participant. Subject to Section 10.07(e), the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits and obligations of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 (subject to the requirements and the limitations of such Sections and Section 3.08 (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.01(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.07(b). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.09 as though it were a Lender; provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any Lender (or any Lender acting in an equivalent capacity) may sub-participate or sub-contract any of its obligations under this Agreement without providing prior written notice to the Borrowers.

(e) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation.

(f) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) (other than to a Disqualified Institution, to the extent the list of Disqualified Institutions has been made available, or is available upon request of the Administrative Agent, to the Lenders, or to a natural person) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers (an “SPC”) the option to provide all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) such SPC confirms its status pursuant to Section 3.01(g) and delivers to the Borrowers and Administrative Agent documentation pursuant to Section 3.01(g), (ii) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Loan, and (iii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to make all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof or, if it fails to do so, to make such payment to the Administrative Agent as is required under Section 2.12(b)(i). Each party hereto hereby agrees that an SPC shall be entitled to the benefits and subject to the obligations of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 (subject to the requirements and the limitations of such Sections and Section 3.08 (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.01(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)); provided that neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the

Each party hereto further agrees that (i) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender would be liable, and (ii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Loan Document, remain the Lender of record hereunder. Other than as expressly provided in this Section 10.07(g), (A) such Granting Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Granting Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrowers, the Agents and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Granting Lender in connection with such Granting Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior debt of any SPC, it will not, other than in respect of matters unrelated to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, or liquidation proceeding under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without prior consent of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent and with the payment of a processing fee of $3,500, assign all or any portion of its rights hereunder with respect to any Loan to the Granting Lender and (ii) subject to Section 10.08, disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or Guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any Lender that is a Fund may create a security interest in all or any portion of the Loans owing to it and the Note, if any, held by it to the trustee for holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Fund as security for such obligations or securities; provided that unless and until such trustee actually becomes a Lender in compliance with the other provisions of this Section 10.07, (i) no such pledge shall release the pledging Lender from any of its obligations under the Loan Documents, and (ii) such trustee shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a Lender under the Loan Documents even though such trustee may have acquired ownership rights with respect to the pledged interest through foreclosure or otherwise.

Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 10.08 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.

Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders acknowledges that (i) the Information may include material non-public information concerning Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (iii) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law, including United States federal and state securities Laws.

The rights of the Administrative Agent and each Secured Party under this Section 10.09 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that the Administrative Agent and such Secured Party may have.

Section 10.10 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If any Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrowers. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by an Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

Section 10.11 Counterparts. This Agreement and each other Loan Document may be executed in one or more counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

The Agents may also require that any such documents and signatures delivered by telecopier or other electronic transmission be confirmed by a manually-signed original thereof; provided that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any document or signature delivered by telecopier or other electronic transmission.

Section 10.12 Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and those provisions of the engagement letter and fee letter separately entered into between the Borrower and JPMorgan and of each Fee Letter that, by its terms, survive the Closing Date, constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.

In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Agents or the Lenders in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement; provided further that in the event of any conflict between this Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control. Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof.

Section 10.14 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.14, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.
