There were a clerical error in the sig pages, and you are partially correct in which funds should not convert. We no longer wish to covert the following funds:
SUFFIELD CLO LTD = $114,941.24
Mass Mutual Asia Limited = $122,981.01 VI NACASA CLO LTD = $467,205.00
The following fund should still covert:
NETT LOAN FUND LTD = $956,296.93
And yes, we are OK with the amendment.
Please let me know if there is anything else you need. Sorry for any confusion. Regards,

Jamie,
My comments are in blue. Please let me know if you have any questions.
1. The latter two documents are assignment forms for Security Income Fund – Macro Opportunities Fund. We need to update the records given the current holder file you provided to us references a fund name Security Income Fund Floating Rate Strategies Series ($737,016.03 holding in the Feb. 2012 Term Loan tranche).
Confirmed that “Security Income Fund – Macro Opportunities Fund” is the correct legal entity, not “Security Income Fund Floating Rate Strategies Series” as had been listed previously. You can update the tracker accordingly.
2. SEI Institutional Investment Trust - High Yield Bond Fund: DB’s files show this fund listed as having a TL hold of $2,244,375.00 instead of $3,407,039.08, as listed in Guggenheim’s signature page. Does DB have assignment documentation to prove Guggenheim’s position in this fund?
Our tracker shows $3,407,039.04 as the total position for SEI Institutional Investment Trust - High Yield Bond Fund, which is consistent with the sig pages. The position on the tracker is spilt as follows:
“GUGGENHEIM-SEI INS INV TR-HIGH” : $2,244,375.00 of the INCREMENTAL TERM LOAN (row 346)
“SEI INST INV TR HY BOND” : $1,162,664.04 of the EXTENDED TERM LOAN (row 588)
3. SEI Institutional Managed Trust - High Yield Bond Fund: DB’s files show this fund listed as having a TL hold of $643,175.84, instead of $1,929,527.62, as listed on Guggenheim’s signature page. Does DB have assignment documentation to prove Guggenheim’s position in this fund?
Our tracker shows $1,929,527.56 as the total position for SEI Institutional Managed Trust - High Yield Bond Fund, which is consistent with the sig pages. The position on the tracker is spilt as follows:
“GUGGENHEIM-SEI INST MG TR HI Y” : $643,175.84 of the EXTENDED TERM LOAN (row 347)
“SEI INSTIT MGD TR” : $1,286,351.72 of the EXTENDED TERM LOAN (row 589)

Jamie,
My comments are in blue. Please let me know if you have any questions.
1. The latter two documents are assignment forms for Security Income Fund – Macro Opportunities Fund. We need to update the records given the current holder file you provided to us references a fund name Security Income Fund Floating Rate Strategies Series ($737,016.03 holding in the Feb. 2012 Term Loan tranche).
Confirmed that “Security Income Fund – Macro Opportunities Fund” is the correct legal entity, not “Security Income Fund Floating Rate Strategies Series” as had been listed previously. You can update the tracker accordingly.
2. SEI Institutional Investment Trust - High Yield Bond Fund: DB’s files show this fund listed as having a TL hold of $2,244,375.00 instead of $3,407,039.08, as listed in Guggenheim’s signature page. Does DB have assignment documentation to prove Guggenheim’s position in this fund?
Our tracker shows $3,407,039.04 as the total position for SEI Institutional Investment Trust - High Yield Bond Fund, which is consistent with the sig pages. The position on the tracker is spilt as follows:
“GUGGENHEIM-SEI INS INV TR-HIGH” : $2,244,375.00 of the INCREMENTAL TERM LOAN (row 346)
“SEI INST INV TR HY BOND” : $1,162,664.04 of the EXTENDED TERM LOAN (row 588)
3. SEI Institutional Managed Trust - High Yield Bond Fund: DB’s files show this fund listed as having a TL hold of $643,175.84, instead of $1,929,527.62, as listed on Guggenheim’s signature page. Does DB have assignment documentation to prove Guggenheim’s position in this fund?
Our tracker shows $1,929,527.56 as the total position for SEI Institutional Managed Trust - High Yield Bond Fund, which is consistent with the sig pages. The position on the tracker is spilt as follows:
“GUGGENHEIM-SEI INST MG TR HI Y” : $643,175.84 of the EXTENDED TERM LOAN (row 347)

There were a clerical error in the sig pages, and you are partially correct in which funds should not convert. We no longer wish to covert the following funds:
SUFFIELD CLO LTD = $114,941.24
Mass Mutual Asia Limited =
$122,981.01 VI NACASA CLO LTD =
$467,205.00
The following fund should still covert:
NETT LOAN FUND LTD = $956,296.93
And yes, we are OK with the amendment.
Please let me know if there is anything else you need. Sorry for any confusion.

Jamie,
My comments are in blue. Please let me know if you have any questions.
1. The latter two documents are assignment forms for Security Income Fund – Macro Opportunities Fund. We need to update the records given the current holder file you provided to us references a fund name Security Income Fund Floating Rate
Strategies Series ($737,016.03 holding in the Feb. 2012 Term Loan tranche).
Confirmed that “Security Income Fund – Macro Opportunities Fund” is the correct legal entity, not “Security Income Fund Floating Rate Strategies Series” as had been listed previously. You can update the tracker accordingly.
2. SEI Institutional Investment Trust - High Yield Bond Fund: DB’s files show this fund listed as having a TL hold of $2,244,375.00 instead of $3,407,039.08, as listed in Guggenheim’s signature page. Does DB have assignment documentation to prove Guggenheim’s position in this fund?
Our tracker shows $3,407,039.04 as the total position for SEI Institutional Investment Trust - High Yield Bond Fund, which is consistent with the sig pages. The position on the tracker is spilt as follows:
“GUGGENHEIM-SEI INS INV TR-HIGH” : $2,244,375.00 of the INCREMENTAL TERM LOAN (row 346) “SEI INST INV TR HY BOND” : $1,162,664.04 of the EXTENDED TERM LOAN (row 588)
3. SEI Institutional Managed Trust—High Yield Bond Fund: DB’s files show this fund listed as having a TL hold of $643,175.84, instead of $1,929,527.62, as listed on Guggenheim’s signature page. Does DB have assignment documentation to prove Guggenheim’s position in this fund?
Our tracker shows $1,929,527.56 as the total position for SEI Institutional Managed Trust - High Yield Bond Fund, which is
consistent with the sig pages. The position on the tracker is spilt as follows:
“GUGGENHEIM-SEI INST MG TR HI Y” : $643,175.84 of the EXTENDED TERM LOAN (row 347) “SEI INSTIT MGD TR” : $1,286,351.72 of the EXTENDED TERM LOAN (row 589)

Classification: For internal use only Jamie,
My comments are in blue. Please let me know if you have any questions.
2. The latter two documents are assignment forms for Security Income Fund – Macro Opportunities Fund. We need to update the records given the current holder file you provided to us references a fund name Security Income Fund Floating Rate Strategies Series ($737,016.03 holding in the Feb. 2012 Term Loan tranche).
Confirmed that “Security Income Fund – Macro Opportunities Fund” is the correct legal entity, not “Security Income Fund Floating Rate Strategies Series” as had been listed previously. You can update the tracker accordingly.
3. SEI Institutional Investment Trust – High Yield Bond Fund: DB’s files show this fund listed as having a TL hold of $2,244,375.00 instead of $3,407,039.08, as listed in Guggenheim’s signature page. Does DB have assignment documentation to prove Guggenheim’s position in this fund?
Our tracker shows $3,407,039.04 as the total position for SEI Institutional Investment Trust - High Yield Bond Fund, which is consistent with the sig pages. The position on the tracker is spilt as follows:
“GUGGENHEIM-SEI INS INV TR-HIGH” : $2,244,375.00 of the INCREMENTAL TERM LOAN (row 346) “SEI INST INV TR HY BOND” : $1,162,664.04 of the EXTENDED TERM LOAN (row 588)
4. SEI Institutional Managed Trust - High Yield Bond Fund: DB’s files show this fund listed as having a TL hold of $643,175.84, instead of $1,929,527.62, as listed on Guggenheim’s signature page. Does DB have assignment documentation to prove Guggenheim’s position in this fund?
Our tracker shows $1,929,527.56 as the total position for SEI Institutional Managed Trust - High Yield Bond Fund, which is consistent with the sig pages. The position on the tracker is spilt as follows:
“GUGGENHEIM-SEI INST MG TR HI Y” : $643,175.84 of the EXTENDED TERM LOAN (row 347) “SEI INSTIT MGD TR” : $1,286,351.72 of the EXTENDED TERM LOAN (row 589)

Subject to Section 2.02(c), Revolving Credit Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans, as further provided herein; provided that Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Alternative Currency must be Eurocurrency Rate Loans.
SECTION 2.02 Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans.
(a) Each Term Borrowing, each Revolving Credit Borrowing (other than Swing Line Borrowings with respect to which this Section 2.02 shall not apply) each conversion of Loans of a given Class from one Type to the other, and each continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) (i) three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or any conversion of Base
600
Rate Loans to Eurocurrency Rate Loans, in each case, denominated in Dollars, Sterling, Euros and Canadian Dollars, (ii) four (4) Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or any conversion of Base Rate Loans to Eurocurrency Rate Loans, in each case, denominated in Australian Dollars and Yen, and (iii) one (1) Business Day before the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans; provided that such notice may be delivered not later than 9:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Closing Date in the case of the initial Credit Extensions. Each telephonic notice by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Committed Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be in a principal Dollar Amount of $2,500,000 or a whole multiple of the Dollar Amount of $500,000 in excess thereof in the case of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans. Except as provided in Sections 2.03(c) and 2.04(c), 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 (whether telephonic or written) shall specify:
(i) the Class of the Borrowing requested and whether the Borrower is requesting the making of new Loans of the respective Class, a conversion of Loans (of a given Class) from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Eurocurrency Rate 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) the currency in which the Loans to be borrowed are to be denominated,
(v) the Type of Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Loans are to be converted, and
(vi) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto.
If, with respect to Loans denominated in Dollars, the Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Committed Loan Notice or fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans. Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurocurrency Rate Loans. If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans in any such Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period (or fails to give a timely notice requesting a continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency), it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month. If no currency is specified, the requested Borrowing shall be in Dollars.
(b) Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount of its Pro Rata Share of the applicable Class of Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base
601
Rate Loans or continuation described in Section 2.02(a). In the case of each Borrowing, each Appropriate Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office for the applicable currency not later than 1:00 p.m., in the case of any Loan denominated in Dollars, and not later than 1:00 p.m. (London time) in the case of any Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency, in each case on the Business Day specified in the applicable Committed Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (and if such Borrowing is the initial Credit Extension, Section 4.01), the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the Borrower 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 Borrower; provided that if, on the date the Committed Loan Notice with respect to such Borrowing is given by the Borrower, there are Swing Line Loans or L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds of such Borrowing shall be applied, first, to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings, second, to the payment in full of any such Swing Line Loans, and third, to the Borrower as provided above.
(c) Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurocurrency Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Rate Loan unless the Borrower pays the amount due, if any, under Section 3.05 in connection therewith. During the existence of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may require that no Loans may be converted to or continued as Eurocurrency Rate Loans.
(d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurocurrency Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. The determination of the Eurocurrency Rate by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of any change in the Administrative Agent’s prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change.
(e) After giving effect to all Borrowings, all conversions of Loans of a given Class from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Loans of a given Class as the same Type, there shall not be more than fifteen (15) Interest Periods in effect unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent; provided that after the establishment of any new Class of Term Loans as permitted under this Agreement, the number of Interest Periods otherwise permitted by this Section 2.02(e) shall increase by three (3) for each applicable Class so established.
(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.
(g) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the
602
Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with paragraph (b) above, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If the Administrative Agent shall have so made funds available, then, to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such portion available to the Administrative Agent, each of such Lender and the Borrower severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.02(g) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s portion of such Borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days after such the date of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon accruing from the date on which the Administrative Agent made the funds available to the Borrower at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans under the relevant Facility, on demand, from the Borrower. If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement, and the Borrower’s obligation to repay the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount pursuant to this Section 2.02(g) shall cease.
SECTION 2.03 Letters of Credit.
(a) The Letter of Credit Commitments.
(i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) each L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Revolving Credit Lenders set forth in this Section 2.03, (1) (x) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, in the case of any L/C Issuer other than Deutsche Bank, to issue Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars or any Alternative Currency, Singapore Dollars, HK Dollars, Danish Kroner or Norwegian Kroner, or any other freely tradable foreign currency reasonably requested by the Borrower from time to time and in which an L/C Issuer may, in accordance with its policies and procedures in effect at such time, issue Letters of Credit, for the account of the Borrower (provided that any Letter of Credit may be for the benefit of any Subsidiary of the Borrower or any Business Successor (so long as the Borrower is the applicant or co-applicant therefor and subject to compliance with Section 7.02)) and (y) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date (except in the case of Existing Letters of Credit, from the Closing Date until the date that is forty-five (45) days after the Closing Date), to amend or renew Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with Section 2.03(b) (provided that no such amendment or renewal of an Existing Letter of Credit may increase the stated amount thereof), and (2) to honor drafts under the Letters of Credit and (B) the
603
Revolving Credit Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued pursuant to this Section 2.03; provided that L/C Issuers shall not be obligated to make L/C Credit Extensions with respect to Letters of Credit, and Lenders shall not be obligated to participate in Letters of Credit if as of the date of the applicable L/C Credit Extension, if (x) the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Lender would exceed such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, (y) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations would exceed the Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect, or (z) the Letter of Credit giving rise to such L/C Credit Extension has a stated expiry date after any Maturity Date with respect to any Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect and the aggregate stated amount of all Letters of Credit having stated expiry dates after such Maturity Date would exceed the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments which will remain in effect after such Maturity Date. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed. All Letters of Credit shall be issued on “sight-basis” only which, for the avoidance of doubt, means that any Letter of Credit shall be honored for payment by the relevant L/C Issuer at the time the Letter of Credit is presented for payment and not at a later date or time.
(ii) An L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:
(A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to such L/C Issuer or any directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or direct that such L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date (for which such L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder);
(B) subject to Section 2.03(b)(iii), the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit (other than the Letters of Credit listed on Schedule 2.03(a)(ii)(B)) would occur more than twelve months after the date of issuance or last renewal, unless otherwise agreed by the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent;
(C) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the applicable Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless (x) all the Revolving Credit Lenders have approved such expiry date or (y) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations in respect of such requested Letter of Credit has been Cash Collateralized in an amount equal to at least 101% of the Outstanding Amount of such L/C Obligations;
604
(D) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate any Laws binding upon such L/C Issuer and/or the issuance of such Letters of Credit would violate any policies of the L/C Issuer applicable to Letters of Credit generally; or
(E) any Revolving Credit Lender, as applicable, is a Defaulting Lender at such time, unless such L/C Issuer has entered into arrangements reasonably satisfactory to it and the Borrower to eliminate such L/C Issuer’s risk with respect to the participation in Letters of Credit by such Defaulting Lender, including by cash collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the L/C Obligations.
(iii) An L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) such L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.
(b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Renewal Letters of Credit.
(i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrower delivered to an L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the relevant L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. at least three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be; or, in each case, such later date and time as the relevant L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in its sole discretion. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the relevant L/C Issuer: (a) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (b) the amount thereof; (c) the expiry date thereof; (d) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (e) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (f) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (g) the currency in which the requested Letter of Credit will be denominated; and (h) such other matters as the relevant L/C Issuer may reasonably request. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the relevant L/C Issuer (1) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (2) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (3) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (4) such other matters as the relevant L/C Issuer may reasonably request.
(ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the relevant L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Borrower and, if not, such L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Upon receipt by the relevant L/C Issuer of confirmation from the Administrative
605
Agent that the requested issuance or amendment is permitted in accordance with the terms hereof, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower (provided that any Letter of Credit may be for the benefit of any Subsidiary of the Borrower or any Business Successor (so long as the Borrower is the applicant or co-applicant therefor and subject to compliance with Section 7.02)) or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be. Immediately upon the issuance of (each Letter of Credit, each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, acquire from the relevant L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Pro Rata Share times the amount of such Letter of Credit.
(iii) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the relevant L/C Issuer shall agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions (each, an “Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit must permit the relevant L/C Issuer to prevent any such renewal at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the relevant L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the relevant L/C Issuer for any such renewal. Once an Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit has been issued, the applicable Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the relevant L/C Issuer to permit the renewal of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the applicable Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided that the relevant L/C Issuer shall not permit any such renewal if (A) the relevant L/C Issuer has determined that it would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its renewed form under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of Section 2.03(a) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is five (5) Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date from the Administrative Agent or any Revolving Credit Lender, as applicable, or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied.
(iv) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the relevant L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.
(c) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.
(i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the relevant L/C Issuer shall notify promptly the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. No later than one Business Day following (x) the Business Day on which the Borrower shall have received notice of any payment by an L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit or (y) if the Borrower shall have received such notice later than 10:00 a.m. on any Business Day, the immediately
606
following Business Day (each such date, a “Required Reimbursement Date”), the Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing in Dollars, together with interest on the amount so paid or disbursed by such L/C Issuer, to the extent not reimbursed on the date of such payment of disbursement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if on the date of any drawing on any Letter of Credit, a Default exists with respect to the Borrower under Section 9.01(f) or (g), the Required Reimbursement Date in respect of such Letter of Credit shall be the Business Day following such drawing without the requirement that any notice be delivered to the Borrower. If the Borrower fails to so reimburse such L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Appropriate Lender of the Required Reimbursement Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (expressed in Dollars in the Dollar Amount thereof in the case of an Alternative Currency) (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Appropriate Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof. In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Credit Borrowing of Eurocurrency Rate Loans (or Base Rate Loans in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in Dollars), in each case to be disbursed on the Required Reimbursement Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Appropriate Lenders and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Committed Loan Notice). Any notice given by an L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.
(ii) Each Revolving Credit Lender (including any such Lender acting as an L/C Issuer) shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agent’s Office for payments in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of any Unreimbursed Amount in respect of a Letter of Credit not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Revolving Credit Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Revolving Credit Loan in the form of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan (or Base Rate Loan in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in Dollars) to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the relevant L/C Issuer.
(iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount in respect of a Letter of Credit that is not fully refinanced by a Revolving Credit Borrowing of Eurocurrency Rate Loans (or Base Rate Loans in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in Dollars) because the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the relevant L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Revolving Credit Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant L/C Issuer pursuant to
607
Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.03.
(iv) Until each Revolving Credit Lender funds its Revolving Credit Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the relevant L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such amount shall be solely for the account of the relevant L/C Issuer.
(v) Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse an L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the relevant L/C Issuer, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default; or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that, each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than delivery by the Borrower of a Committed Loan Notice). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the relevant L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by such L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.
(vi) If any Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii), such L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. A certificate of the relevant L/C Issuer submitted to any Revolving Credit Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.03(c)(vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(vii) If, at any time after an L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Revolving Credit Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with this Section 2.03(c), the Administrative Agent receives for the account of such L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s L/C Advance was outstanding) in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.
608
(viii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of an L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 11.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer its Pro Rata Share thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.
(d) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse the relevant L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit issued by it and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:
(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;
(ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that any Loan Party may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the relevant L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;
(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;
(iv) any payment by the relevant L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the relevant L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law;
(v) any exchange, release or nonperfection of any Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from the Guaranty or any other guarantee, for all or any of the Obligations any Loan Party in respect of such Letter of Credit; or
(vi) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Loan Party.
609
provided that the foregoing shall not excuse any L/C Issuer from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable Law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by acts or omissions by such L/C Issuer constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof on the part of such L/C Issuer.
(e) Role of L/C Issuers. Each Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the relevant L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuers, any Agent-Related Person nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of any L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit Application. The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the L/C Issuers, any Agent-Related Person, nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of any L/C Issuer, shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (vi) of Section 2.03(d) or clauses (i) through (iii) of this Section 2.03(e); provided that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against an L/C Issuer, and such L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower that were caused by such L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or such L/C Issuer’s willful or grossly negligent failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and no L/C Issuer shall be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.
(f) Cash Collateral. If (i) any Event of Default occurs and is continuing and the Required Lenders or the Required Revolving Credit Lenders, as the case may be, require the Borrower to Cash Collateralize its L/C Obligations pursuant to Section 9.02(a) or (ii) an Event of Default set forth under Section 9.01(f) occurs and is continuing, then the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations (in an amount equal to such Outstanding Amount determined as of the date of such Event of Default), and shall do so not later than 2:00 p.m. New York City time on (x) in the case of the immediately preceding clause (i), (1) the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice thereof, if such notice is received on such day prior to 12:00 Noon New York City time or (2) if clause (1) above does not apply, the
610
Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice and (y) in the case of the immediately preceding clause (ii), the Business Day on which an Event of Default set forth under Section 9.01(f) occurs or, if such day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately succeeding such day. For purposes hereof, “Cash Collateralize” means to pledge and deposit with or deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the relevant L/C Issuer and the Revolving Credit Lenders, as collateral for the L/C Obligations, cash or deposit account balances in the respective currency or currencies in which the applicable L/C Obligations are denominated (“Cash Collateral”) pursuant to documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the relevant L/C Issuer (which documents are hereby consented to by the Revolving Credit Lenders). Derivatives of such term have corresponding meanings. The Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuers and the Revolving Credit Lenders, a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein and all proceeds of the foregoing. Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked accounts at the Administrative Agent and may be invested in readily available Cash Equivalents. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that any funds held as Cash Collateral are subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties) or that the total amount of such funds is less than the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, the Borrower will, forthwith upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent, as additional funds to be deposited and held in the deposit accounts at the Administrative Agent as aforesaid, an amount equal to the excess of (a) such aggregate Outstanding Amount over (b) the total amount of funds, if any, then held as Cash Collateral that the Administrative Agent reasonably determines to be free and clear of any such right and claim. Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit for which funds are on deposit as Cash Collateral, such funds shall be applied, to the extent permitted under applicable Law, to reimburse the relevant L/C Issuer. To the extent the amount of any Cash Collateral exceeds the then Outstanding Amount of such L/C Obligations and so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the excess shall be refunded to the Borrower. To the extent any Event of Default giving rise to the requirement to Cash Collateralize any Letter of Credit pursuant to this Section 2.03(f) is cured or otherwise waived by the Required Lenders or the Required Revolving Credit Lenders, as the case may be, then so long as no other Event of Default has occurred and is then occurring and continuing, the amount of any Cash Collateral pledged to Cash Collateralize such Letter of Credit shall be refunded to the Borrower.
(g) Applicability of ISP and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the relevant L/C Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the UCP shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.
(h) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent (i) for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share a Letter of Credit fee for each Letter of Credit issued pursuant to this Agreement equal to the Applicable Rate times the daily maximum amount then available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (whether or not (1) such maximum amount is then in effect under such Letter of Credit, if such maximum amount increases periodically pursuant to the terms of such Letter of Credit or (2) the conditions to drawing under such Letter of Credit can then be satisfied) less the fronting fee paid with respect to such Letter of Credit under Section 2.03(i) below. Such letter of credit
611
fees shall be computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such letter of credit fees shall be due and payable in Dollars on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on any relevant Maturity Date (for any applicable Revolving Credit Commitments then expiring) or the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the daily maximum amount of each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect.
(i) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuers. The Borrower shall pay directly to each L/C Issuer for its own account a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by it equal to 0.125% per annum of the daily maximum amount then available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (whether or not (1) such maximum amount is then in effect under such Letter of Credit, if such maximum amount increases periodically pursuant to the terms of such Letter of Credit or (2) the conditions to drawing under such Letter of Credit can then be satisfied); provided that in no event shall the annual amount of fronting fees payable with respect to any Letter of Credit be less than $500. Such fronting fees shall be computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such fronting fees shall be due and payable on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. In addition, the Borrower shall pay directly to each L/C Issuer for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of such L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable within ten (10) Business Days of demand and are nonrefundable.
(j) Conflict with Letter of Credit Application. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Letter of Credit Application, the terms hereof shall control.
(k) Addition of an L/C Issuer. A Revolving Credit Lender may become an additional L/C Issuer hereunder pursuant to a written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such Revolving Credit Lender. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Credit Lenders under the applicable Facility of any additional L/C Issuer under such Facility.
(l) Multiple Classes of Revolving Credit Commitments. If the Maturity Date in respect of any Class of Revolving Credit Commitments occurs prior to the expiration of any Letter of Credit, then (i) if one or more other Classes of Revolving Credit Commitments in respect of which the Maturity Date shall not have occurred are then in effect, such Letters of Credit shall automatically be deemed to have been issued (including for purposes of the obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders to purchase participations therein and to make Revolving Credit Loans and payments in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.03(c)) under (and ratably participated in by Lenders pursuant to) the Revolving Credit Commitments in respect of such non-terminating Revolving Credit Commitments up to an aggregate amount not to exceed the aggregate amount of the unutilized Revolving Credit Commitments thereunder at such time
612
(it being understood that no partial face amount of any Letter of Credit may be so reallocated) and (ii) to the extent not reallocated pursuant to immediately preceding clause (i), the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize any such Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 2.03(f).
(m) Existing Letters of Credit. The Borrower has provided to the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuers a list of letters of credit that were originally issued by Deutsche Bank pursuant to the Original Credit Agreement and which remain outstanding on the Closing Date (the “Existing Letters of Credit”) (and setting forth, with respect to each such letter of credit, (i) the name of the issuing lender, (ii) the letter of credit number, (iii) the name(s) of the account party or account parties, (iv) the stated amount, (v) the currency in which the letter of credit is denominated, (vi) the name of the beneficiary, (vii) the expiry date and (viii) whether such letter of credit constitutes a standby letter of credit or a commercial letter of credit). Each Existing Letter of Credit which remains outstanding on the Closing Date, including any extension or renewal thereof in accordance with Section 2.03(a)(i), shall constitute a Letter of Credit for all purposes of this Agreement and shall be deemed issued on the Closing Date for the account of the Borrower.
SECTION 2.04 Swing Line Loans.
(a) The Swing Line.
(i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender agrees to make loans in Dollars (each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan”) to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day (other than the Closing Date) until the latest Maturity Date applicable to any Revolving Credit Facility as of the date the Swing Line Loan is drawn, in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Credit Loans and L/C Obligations of the Lender acting as Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment; provided that, (i) after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Credit Loans of any Lender, plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment then in effect, and (ii) notwithstanding the foregoing, the Swing Line Lender shall not be obligated to make any Swing Line Loans at a time when a Revolving Credit Lender is a Defaulting Lender, unless the Swing Line Lender has entered into arrangements reasonably satisfactory to it and the Borrower to eliminate the Swing Line Lender’s risk with respect to the Defaulting Lender’s participation in such Swing Line Loans, including by Cash Collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding amount of Swing Line Loans; provided, further that, the Borrower shall not use the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding Swing Line Loan. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.04, prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow under this Section 2.04. Each Swing Line Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan. Swing Line Loans shall only be denominated in Dollars. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and
613
unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share times the amount of such Swing Line Loan.
(ii) If the Maturity Date shall have occurred in respect of any Class of Revolving Credit Commitments at a time when another Class of Revolving Credit Commitments is in effect with a later Maturity Date, then on the earliest occurring Maturity Date all then outstanding Swing Line Loans shall be repaid in full on such date (and there shall be no adjustment to the participations in such Swing Line Loans as a result of the occurrence of such Maturity Date); provided, however, that if on the occurrence of such earliest Maturity Date (after giving effect to any repayments of Revolving Credit Loans and any reallocation of Letter of Credit participations as contemplated in Section 2.03(l)), there shall exist sufficient unutilized Revolving Credit Commitments so that the respective outstanding Swing Line Loans could be incurred pursuant the Revolving Credit Commitments that will remain in effect after the occurrence of such Maturity Date, then there shall be an automatic adjustment on such date of the participations in such Swing Line Loans and same shall be deemed to have been incurred solely pursuant to the relevant Revolving Credit Commitments that will remain in effect, and such Swing Line Loans shall not be so required to be repaid in full on such earliest Maturity Date.
(b) Borrowing Procedures. Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $100,000 (and any amount in excess of $100,000 shall be an integral multiple of $25,000) and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a written Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of any telephonic Swing Line Loan Notice, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Revolving Credit Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the first proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.04(a) or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the Borrower.
614
(c) Refinancing of Swing Line Loans.
(i) The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the Borrower (who hereby irrevocably authorizes the applicable Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Revolving Credit Lender make a Revolving Credit Loan in the form of a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Committed Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans but subject to the unutilized portion of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. The Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Borrower with a copy of the applicable Committed Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall make an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the amount specified in such Committed Loan Notice available to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Committed Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.04(c)(ii), each Revolving Credit Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Lender.
(ii) If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Revolving Credit Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.04(c)(i), the request for Base Rate Loans submitted by the Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing Line Lender that each of the Revolving Credit Lenders fund its risk participation in the Swing Line Loan and each Revolving Credit Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.
(iii) If any Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time specified in Section 2.04(c)(i), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. A certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(iv) Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) shall, subject to the express provisions of Section 2.06(e) (to the extent applicable), be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance,
615
including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans (but not to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans) pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.
(d) Repayment of Participations.
(i) At any time after any Revolving Credit Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Lender its Pro Rata Share of such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s risk participation was funded) in the same funds as those received by the Swing Line Lender.
(ii) If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 11.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate. The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender.
(e) Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the Borrower for interest on the Swing Line Loans. Until each Revolving Credit Lender funds its Base Rate Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.04 to refinance such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Pro Rata Share shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender.
(f) Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender. The Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of its Swing Line Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender.
SECTION 2.05 Prepayments.
(a) Optional.
(i) Term Loans; Revolving Credit Loans. The Borrower may, upon irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Term Loans of any Class and Revolving Credit Loans of any Class in whole or in part without premium or penalty (except as set forth in Section 2.05(c) below); provided that (1) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not
616
later than 12:00 p.m. (New York time) (A) two (2) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Dollars, (B) three (3) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency and (C) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (2) any prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be in a principal Dollar Amount of $2,500,000 or a whole multiple of the Dollar Amount of $500,000 in excess thereof in the case of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans; and (3) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a minimum principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding (it being understood that Base Rate Loans shall be denominated in Dollars only). Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Class(es) and Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Appropriate Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such prepayment. Any prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Each prepayment of principal of, and interest on, Revolving Credit Loans shall be made in Dollars or the relevant Alternative Currency, as applicable (even if the Borrower is required to convert currency to do so). Each prepayment of the Loans of a given Class pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) shall be paid to the Appropriate Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares.
(ii) Swing Line Loans. The Borrower may, upon notice to the Swing Line Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay Swing Line Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (1) such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of the prepayment, and (2) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.
(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any notice of prepayment of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans (unless denominated in an Alternative Currency) may state that it is conditioned on the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event specified therein (including the effectiveness of other credit facilities) and can be revoked if such condition is not satisfied.
(iv) Voluntary prepayments of Term Loans shall be applied to each Class of Term Loans at the discretion of the Borrower and within a Class of Term Loans to the remaining scheduled installments of principal of such Class of Term Loans thereof pursuant to Section 2.07(a) in a manner determined at the discretion of the Borrower (although in all cases on a pro rata basis to the respective Lenders of the relevant Class) and specified in the notice of prepayment; provided that, if the Borrower fails to give such notice at the time of such prepayment or in the event such notice fails to specify the
617
manner in which the respective prepayment of such Class of Term Loans shall be applied to repayments thereof required pursuant to Section 2.07(a), such prepayment of such Class of Term Loans shall be applied in direct order of maturity to repayments thereof required pursuant to Section 2.07(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower may not repay Extended Term Loans of any Class unless such prepayment is accompanied by a pro rata repayment of the Existing Term Loans from which such Extended Term Loans were converted (or such Existing Term Loans have otherwise been repaid in full).
(b) Mandatory.
(i) Excess Cash Flow. Within ten (10) Business Days after financial statements 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, after the date on which such financial statements and Compliance Certificate are required to be delivered), the Borrower shall offer to prepay, subject to clauses (vi) and (vii) of this Section 2.05(b), an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans equal to (A) 50% (such percentage as it may be reduced as described below, the “ECF Percentage”) of Excess Cash Flow, if any, for the fiscal year covered by such financial statements (commencing with the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013) minus (B) the sum of (i) all voluntary prepayments of Term Loans during such fiscal year and (ii) all voluntary prepayments of Revolving Credit Loans during such fiscal year to the extent the Revolving Credit Commitments are permanently reduced by the amount of such payments, in the case of each of the immediately preceding clauses (i) and (ii), to the extent such prepayments are not funded with the proceeds of Indebtedness; provided that (x) the ECF Percentage shall be 25% if the Senior Secured First-Lien Net Leverage Ratio for the fiscal year covered by such financial statements was less than 4.0:1.0 and greater than or equal to 3.5:1.0 and (y) the ECF Percentage shall be 0% if the Senior Secured First-Lien Net Leverage Ratio for the fiscal year covered by such financial statements was less than 3.5:1.0.
(ii) Dispositions and Casualty Events.
If (1)(x) the Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries Disposes of any property or assets (other than any Disposition of any property or assets permitted by Section 7.05(a), (b), (c), (d), (e) (other than Section 7.05(e)(iii)), (f), (g), (j), (l), (n) and (o)) or (y) any Casualty Event occurs which results in the realization or receipt by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary of Net Cash Proceeds and (2) the Senior Secured First-Lien Net Leverage Ratio for the Test Period immediately preceding such Disposition or Casualty Event is equal to greater than 4.0:1.0 (calculated on a Pro Forma Basis), the Borrower shall offer to prepay on or prior to the date which is ten (10) Business Days after the date of the realization or receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds, subject to clauses (v), (vi) and (vii) of this Section 2.05(b), an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans equal to 100% (such percentage as it may be reduced as described below, the “Disposition Prepayment Percentage”) of all Net Cash Proceeds realized or received; provided that (x) the Disposition Prepayment Percentage shall be 50% if the Senior Secured First-Lien Net Leverage Ratio for the Test Period immediately preceding such Disposition or Casualty Event was less than 4.0:1.0 and greater
618
than or equal to 3.5:1.0 and (y) the Disposition Prepayment Percentage shall be 0% if the Senior Secured First-Lien Net Leverage Ratio for the Test Period immediately preceding such Disposition or Casualty Event was less than 3.5:1.0; provided further that no prepayment shall be required pursuant to this Section 2.05(b)(ii)(A) with respect to such portion of such Net Cash Proceeds that the Borrower shall have, on or prior to such date, given written notice to the Administrative Agent of its intent to reinvest in accordance with Section 2.05(b)(ii)(B) (which notice may be provided only if no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing;
(A) With respect to any Net Cash Proceeds realized or received with respect to any Disposition (other than any Disposition specifically excluded from the application of Section 2.05(b)(ii)(A)) or any Casualty Event, at the option of the Borrower, the Borrower may reinvest all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds in assets useful for its business within (x) fifteen (15) months following receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds or (y) if the Borrower enters into a legally binding commitment to reinvest such Net Cash Proceeds within fifteen (15) months following receipt thereof, within the later of (1) fifteen (15) months following receipt thereof or (2) one hundred and eighty (180) days of the date of such legally binding commitment; provided that (i) so long as an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower (x) shall not be permitted to make any such reinvestments (other than pursuant to a legally binding commitment that the Borrower entered into at a time when no Event of Default is continuing) and (y) shall not be required to apply such Net Cash Proceeds which have been previously applied to prepay Revolving Credit Loans to the prepayment of Term Loans until such time as the relevant reinvestment period has expired and no Event of Default is continuing and (ii) if any Net Cash Proceeds are no longer intended to be or cannot be so reinvested at any time after delivery of a notice of reinvestment election, and subject to clauses (v) and (vii) of this Section 2.05, an amount equal to any such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied within five (5) Business Days after the Borrower reasonably determines that such Net Cash Proceeds are no longer intended to be or cannot be so reinvested to the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in this Section 2.05.
(iii) Incurrence of Indebtedness. If the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary incurs or issues any Indebtedness not expressly permitted to be incurred or issued pursuant to Section 7.03 (but subject to Section 7.03(z)), the Borrower shall offer to prepay, subject to clauses (v) and (vii) of this Section 2.05(b), an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans equal to 100% of all Net Cash Proceeds received therefrom on or prior to the date which is five (5) Business Days after the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds.
(iv) Revolving Credit Exposure. If for any reason the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposures at any time exceeds the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect (including as a result of the termination of any Revolving Credit Commitments on the Maturity Date thereof), the Borrower shall at such time prepay Revolving Credit Loans, prepay Swing Line Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an
619
aggregate amount equal to such excess; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant to this Section 2.05(b)(iv) unless after the prepayment in full of the Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Line Loans , such remaining aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure exceeds the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect.
(v) (X) Each prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) shall, except as otherwise provided in following clause (viii), be applied pro rata to each Class of Term Loans and within each Class to the remaining scheduled installments of principal thereof pursuant to Section 2.07(a) in a manner determined at the discretion of the Borrower and specified to the Administrative Agent (it being understood that if the Borrower fails to specify such application at the time of such prepayment, then such prepayment shall be so applied to the remaining scheduled installments of principal in direct order of maturity); and (Y) each such prepayment shall be paid to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares subject to clause (vi) of this Section 2.05(b).
(vi) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any mandatory prepayment of Term Loans required to be made pursuant to clauses (i) through (iii) of this Section 2.05(b) at least three (3) 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. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Appropriate Lender of the contents of the Borrower’s prepayment notice and of such Appropriate Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the prepayment. Each Appropriate Lender may reject all or a portion of its Pro Rata Share of any mandatory prepayment (such declined amounts, the “Declined Proceeds”) of Term Loans required to be made pursuant to clauses (i) through (iii) of this Section 2.05(b) by providing written notice (each, a “Rejection Notice”) to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York time) one Business Day after the date of such Lender’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent regarding such prepayment. Each Rejection Notice from a given Lender shall specify the principal amount of the mandatory repayment of Term Loans to be rejected by such Lender. If a Lender fails to deliver a Rejection Notice to the Administrative Agent within the time frame specified above or such Rejection Notice fails to specify the principal amount of the Term Loans to be rejected, any such failure will be deemed an acceptance of the total amount of such mandatory prepayment of Term Loans. Any Declined Proceeds shall be retained by the Borrower (“Retained Declined Proceeds”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Term Lender shall be permitted to issue a Rejection Notice with respect to any mandatory prepayment made pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(viii).
(vii) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.05(b), (i) to the extent that any of or all the Net Cash Proceeds of any Disposition by a Foreign Subsidiary giving rise to a prepayment event pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(ii) (a “Foreign Disposition”), the Net Cash Proceeds of any Casualty Event from a Foreign Subsidiary (a “Foreign Casualty Event”), or Excess Cash Flow are prohibited, restricted or delayed by applicable local law from being repatriated to the United States, the portion of such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to
620
repay Term Loans at the times provided in this Section 2.05(b) but may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long, but only so long, as the applicable local law will not permit repatriation to the United States (the Borrower hereby agreeing to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to promptly take all actions reasonably required by the applicable local law to permit such repatriation), and once such repatriation of any of such affected Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow is permitted under the applicable local law, such repatriation will be immediately effected and such repatriated Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow will be promptly (and in any event not later than two Business Days after such repatriation) applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof to the extent not taken into account in the definition of Net Cash Proceeds) to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) to the extent provided herein and (ii) to the extent that the Borrower has determined in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net Cash Proceeds of any Foreign Disposition, any Foreign Casualty Event or Excess Cash Flow would have a material adverse tax cost consequence 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 Foreign Subsidiary, provided that, in the case of this clause (ii), on or before the date on which any Net Cash Proceeds so retained would otherwise have been required to be applied to reinvestments or prepayments pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) (or such Excess Cash Flow would have been so required if it were Net Cash Proceeds), (x) the Borrower applies an amount equal to such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow to such reinvestments or prepayments as if such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow had been received by the Borrower rather than such Foreign Subsidiary, less the amount of additional taxes that would have been payable or reserved against (to the extent not taken into account in the definition of Net Cash Proceeds) if such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow had been repatriated (or, if less, the Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow that would be calculated if received by such Foreign Subsidiary) or (y) such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow are applied to the repayment of Indebtedness of a Foreign Subsidiary.
(viii) If the Borrower incurs or issues any Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness to refinance Term Loans, the Borrower shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness within three (3) Business Days of the date such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness is incurred or issued; provided that each prepayment of Term Loans required by this clause (viii) shall be applied to any Class of Term Loans at the discretion of the Borrower and within a Class of Term Loans to the remaining scheduled installments of principal of such Class of Term Loans thereof pursuant to Section 2.07(a) in a manner determined at the discretion of the Borrower and specified in the notice of prepayment (but in any event, applied pro rata to the Lenders of such Class); provided that, if the Borrower fails to give such notice at the time of such prepayment or in the event such notice fails to specify the manner in which the respective prepayment of such Class of Term Loans shall be applied to repayments thereof required pursuant to Section 2.07(a), such prepayment of such Class of Term Loans shall be applied in direct order of maturity to repayments thereof required pursuant to Section 2.07(a)
(ix) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrower may rescind or amend any notice of prepayment issued in connection with Section 2.05(b)(viii) if such prepayment is conditioned on an issuance of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness, which issuance shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed.
621
(c) Repricing Premium. Any prepayment of the Term B Loans or the Term C Loans pursuant to Section 2.05(a)(i), Section 2.05(b)(iii) or Section 2.05(b)(viii) in connection with a Repricing Event shall be accompanied by the payment of the Repricing Premium, for the ratable account of the Appropriate Lenders with such Term B Loans or Term C Loans that are either repaid, converted or subjected to a pricing reduction in connection with such Repricing Event.
(d) Interest, Funding Losses, Etc. All prepayments under this Section 2.05 shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with, in the case of any such prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period therefor, any amounts owing in respect of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan pursuant to Section 3.05.
If all Term Lenders of a Class elect to accept a mandatory prepayment described above, then, with respect to such mandatory prepayment, the amount of such mandatory prepayment shall be applied first to Term Loans of such Class that are Base Rate Loans to the full extent thereof before application to Term Loans of such Class that are Eurocurrency Rate Loans and, in any event, in a manner that is designed to minimize the amount of any payments required to be made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.05; provided, however, that, if at the time of any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.05(b) there shall be Term Borrowings of different Types or Eurocurrency Rate Term Borrowings of the applicable Class with different Interest Periods, and if some but not all Term Lenders of the applicable Class shall have accepted such mandatory prepayment, then the aggregate amount of such mandatory prepayment shall be allocated ratably to each outstanding applicable Term Borrowing of the accepting Term Lenders.
Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of this Section 2.05, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if any prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans is required to be made under this Section 2.05 prior to the last day of the Interest Period therefor, in lieu of making any payment pursuant to this Section 2.05 in respect of any such Eurocurrency Rate Loan prior to the last day of the Interest Period therefor, the Borrower may, in its sole discretion, deposit the amount of any such prepayment otherwise required to be made thereunder into a cash collateral account until the last day of such Interest Period, at which time the Administrative Agent shall be authorized (without any further action by or notice to or from the Borrower or any other Loan Party) to apply such amount to the prepayment of such Loans in accordance with this Section 2.05. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall also be authorized (without any further action by or notice to or from the Borrower or any other Loan Party) to apply such amount to the prepayment of the outstanding Loans in accordance with the relevant provisions of this Section 2.05.
622
SECTION 2.06 Termination or Reduction of Commitments.
(a) Optional. The Borrower may, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the unused Commitments of any Class, or from time to time permanently reduce the unused Commitments of any Class, in each case without premium or penalty; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent one (1) Business Day prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $500,000 or any whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof and (iii) if, after giving effect to any reduction of the Commitments, the Swing Line Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Revolving Credit Facility, then in any such case the Swing Line Sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess. 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 by the Borrower if such condition is not satisfied.
(b) Mandatory. The Term Commitment of each Term Lender shall be automatically and permanently reduced to $0 upon the making of such Term Lender’s Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.01(a). The Revolving Credit Commitments shall terminate on the applicable Maturity Date for each such Facility.
(c) Application of Commitment Reductions; Payment of Fees. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Revolving Credit Lenders of any termination or reduction of unused portions of the Swing Line Sublimit and all Lenders of the termination or reduction of unused Commitments of any Class under this Section 2.06. Upon any reduction of unused Commitments of any Class, the Commitment of each Lender of such Class shall be reduced by such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount by which such Commitments are reduced (other than the termination of the Commitment of any Lender as provided in Section 3.07). All commitment fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of any Revolving Credit Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.
(d) Revolving Credit Commitment Terminations in connection with Refinancing Amendments. On the date of the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment relating to Revolving Credit Commitments, the amount of the commitments which became so effective shall be required to reduce commitments pursuant to the then outstanding Revolving Credit Commitments, as elected by the Borrower, and at such time repayments of outstandings pursuant to the respective Revolving Credit Facilities shall be made to the extent needed so that the provisions Section 2.05(b)(iv) are complied with. In addition, at the time of any incurrence of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of existing Revolving Credit Commitments, an amount equal to the Net Cash Proceeds thereof (or, if greater, the total commitments with respect thereto) shall be applied to permanently reduce outstanding Revolving Credit Commitments and at such time repayments of outstandings pursuant to the respective Revolving Credit Facilities shall be made so that the provisions of Section 2.05(b)(iv) are complied with. All reductions to the Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to this clause (d) shall be applied to any Class of Revolving Credit Commitments at the discretion of the Borrower and pro rata within a Class of Revolving Credit Commitments.
623
(e) Termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments. On the Maturity Date of any Class of Revolving Credit Commitments, such Revolving Credit Commitments will terminate and the respective Lenders who held such terminated Commitments will have no obligation to make, or participate in, extensions of credit (whether the making of Loans or the issuance of Letters of Credit) made pursuant to such Commitments after such Maturity Date; provided that, except as expressly provided in the immediately succeeding sentence, (x) the foregoing shall not release any Revolving Credit Lender from liability it may have for its failure to fund Revolving Credit Loans, L/C Advances or participations in Swing Line Loans that was required to be performed by it on or prior to such Maturity Date and (y) the foregoing will not release any Revolving Credit Lender from any obligation to fund its portion of L/C Advances or participations in Swing Line Loans with respect to Letters of Credit issued or Swing Line Loans made prior to such Maturity Date.

624
(ii) on each date set forth below (or, if not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day), an aggregate Dollar Amount equal to (x) the percentage set forth below opposite such date multiplied by (y) the aggregate Dollar Amount of all Term C Loans outstanding on the Closing Date (as such repayment amount shall be reduced as a result of the application of prepayments as directed by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.05):

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, all Loans shall be repaid, whether pursuant to this Section 2.07 or otherwise, in the currency in which they were made.
625

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.08(b), (i) each Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate plus (in the case of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan of any Lender which is lent from a Lending Office in the United Kingdom or a Participating Member State) the Mandatory Cost; (ii) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate and (iii) each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate for Revolving Credit Loans. For the avoidance of doubt, each Revolving Credit Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency shall be a Eurocurrency Rate Loan.
(b) The Borrower shall pay interest on past due amounts hereunder 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.
(c) 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. 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.
(d) Interest on each Loan shall be payable in the currency in which each Loan was made.
(e) All computations of interest hereunder shall be made in accordance with Section 2.10.
SECTION 2.09 Fees. In addition to certain fees described in Sections 2.03(h) and (i):
(a) Commitment Fee. With respect to the Revolving Credit Facility, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, a commitment fee equal to the Applicable Rate with respect to commitment fees then in effect for the applicable Class of Revolving Credit Commitments times the actual daily amount by which the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments for such Facility exceed the sum of (x) the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Credit Loans under such Facility and (y) the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations for such Facility; provided that any commitment fee accrued with respect to any of the Revolving Credit Commitments under such Facility of a Defaulting Lender during the period prior to the time such Lender became a Defaulting Lender and unpaid at such time shall not be payable by the Borrower so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender except to the extent that such commitment fee shall otherwise have been due and payable by the Borrower prior to such time; and provided further that no commitment fee shall accrue on any of the Revolving Credit
626
Commitments of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender. The commitment fees for the Revolving Credit Facility shall accrue at all times from the Closing Date until the relevant Maturity Date, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article IV is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the Maturity Date for such Facility. The commitment fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect.
(b) Upfront Fees.
(i) The Borrower agrees to pay on the Closing Date to each Term B Lender party to this Agreement as a Term B Lender on the Closing Date, as fee compensation for the funding of such Term B Lender’s Term B Loan, a closing fee in an amount equal to 0.50% of the stated principal amount of such Term B Lender’s Term B Loan. Such fees shall be payable to each Term B Lender out of the proceeds of such Term B Lender’s Term Loan as and when funded on the Closing Date and shall be treated (and reported) by the Borrower and such Term B Lenders as a reduction in issue price of such Term B Loans for U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes.
(ii) The Borrower agrees to pay on the Closing Date to each Term C Lender party to this Agreement as a Term C Lender on the Closing Date, as fee compensation for the funding of such Term C Lender’s Term C Loan, a closing fee in an amount equal to 0.25% of the stated principal amount of such Term B Lender’s Term C Loan. Such fees shall be payable to each Term C Lender out of the proceeds of such Term C Lender’s Term Loan as and when funded on the Closing Date and shall be treated (and reported) by the Borrower and such Term C Lenders as a reduction in issue price of such Term C Loans for U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes.
(c) Other Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Agents such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever (except as expressly agreed between the Borrower and the applicable Agent).
SECTION 2.10 Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans shall be made on the basis of a year of three hundred and sixty-five (365) days or three hundred and sixty-six (366) days, as applicable, and actual days elapsed. All computations of interest for Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Sterling shall be made on the basis of a year of three hundred and sixty-five (365) days and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a three hundred and sixty (360) day year and actual days elapsed. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which 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 (1) 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.
627
SECTION 2.11 Evidence of Indebtedness.
(a) The Credit Extensions 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 Regulation Section 5f.103-1(c), as agent for the Borrower, in each case in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be prima facie evidence absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note or Notes payable to such Lender, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans of the applicable Class or Classes 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.
(b) In addition to the accounts and records referred to in Section 2.11(a), each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records and, in the case of the Administrative Agent, entries in the Register, evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.
(c) Entries made in good faith by the Administrative Agent in the Register pursuant to Sections 2.11(a) and (b), and by each Lender in its account or accounts pursuant to Sections 2.11(a) and (b), shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to, in the case of the Register, each Lender and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, absent manifest error; provided that the failure of the Administrative Agent or such Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
SECTION 2.12 Payments Generally.
(a) All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein and except with respect to payments in an Alternative Currency, all
628
payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Office for payment in Dollars and in Same Day Funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder in an Alternative Currency shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Office in such Alternative Currency and in Same Day Funds not later than 2:00 p.m. (London time) on the dates specified herein. If, for any reason, the Borrower is prohibited by any Law from making any required payment hereunder in an Alternative Currency, the Borrower shall make such payment in Dollars in the Dollar Amount of the Alternative Currency payment amount. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent (i) after 2:00 p.m., New York City time in the case of payments in Dollars, or (ii) after 2:00 p.m. (London time) in the case of payments in an Alternative Currency, shall in each case be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.
(b) If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be; provided that, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurocurrency Rate Loans to be made in the next succeeding calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.
(c) Unless the Borrower or any Lender has notified the Administrative Agent, prior to the date any payment is required to be made by it to the Administrative Agent hereunder, that the Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, has timely made such payment and may (but shall not be so required to), in reliance thereon, make available a corresponding amount to the Person entitled thereto. If and to the extent that such payment was not in fact made to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds, then:
(i) if the Borrower failed to make such payment, each Lender shall forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the portion of such assumed payment that was made available to such Lender in Same Day Funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds at the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect; and
(ii) if any Lender failed to make such payment, such Lender shall forthwith on demand pay to the Administrative Agent the amount thereof in Same Day Funds, together with interest thereon for the period from the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower to the date such amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent (the “Compensation Period”) at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. When such Lender makes
629
payment to the Administrative Agent (together with all accrued interest thereon), then such payment amount (excluding the amount of any interest which may have accrued and been paid in respect of such late payment) shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in the applicable Borrowing. If such Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent may make a demand therefor upon the Borrower, and the Borrower shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon for the Compensation Period at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest applicable to the applicable Borrowing. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any rights that the Administrative Agent or the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.
A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this Section 2.12(c) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(d) If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions 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, without interest.
(e) The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan or to fund any such participation 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 purchase its participation.
(f) 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.
(g) Whenever any payment received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents is insufficient to pay in full all amounts due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on any date, such payment shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent and applied by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the order of priority set forth in Section 9.03. If the Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the Obligations of the Loan Parties under or in respect of the Loan Documents under circumstances for which the Loan Documents do not specify the manner in which such funds are to be applied, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, elect to distribute such funds to each of the Lenders in accordance with such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the sum of (a) the Outstanding Amount of all Loans outstanding at such time and (b) the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations outstanding at such time, in repayment or prepayment of such of the outstanding Loans or other Obligations then owing to such Lender.
630
SECTION 2.13 Sharing of Payments. If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein, any Lender shall obtain on account of the Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans held by it, any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, 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 and/or such subparticipations in the participations in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans held by them, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment in respect of such Loans or such participations, as the case may be, pro rata with each of them; provided that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 11.06 (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 Lender’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 Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff, but subject to Section 11.09) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section 2.13 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.
SECTION 2.14 Incremental Credit Extensions. (i) At any time and from time to time after the Closing Date, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may, by notice to the Administrative Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly make such notice available to each of the Lenders), request to effect one or more additional tranches of revolving credit commitments (“Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments” and any related revolving credit loans thereunder, “Incremental Revolving Credit Loans”) or increases in the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments under any existing Class (each such increase, a “Revolving Credit Commitment Increase”; together with the Incremental Revolving Credit Loans, “Incremental Revolving Credit Facilities”) from Additional Revolving Credit Lenders; provided that at the time of each such request and upon the effectiveness of each Incremental Revolving Credit Facility Amendment, (A) no Event of Default shall result therefrom, (B) the aggregate principal amount of all Incremental Revolving Credit Facilities, Incremental Term Facilities and Additional Notes incurred after the Closing Date would not exceed (x) $500,000,000 plus (y) an additional amount to the extent that the Senior Secured First-Lien Net Leverage Ratio (treating all such Incremental Revolving Credit Facilities, Incremental Term Facilities and Additional Notes as Senior
631
Secured First-Lien Indebtedness solely for purposes of calculating such Senior Secured First-Lien Net Leverage Ratio even if such Indebtedness would not otherwise constitute Senior Secured First-Lien Indebtedness) on a Pro Forma Basis after giving effect to the incurrence of any such proposed Incremental Revolving Credit Facilities and any related transactions (treating any proposed Incremental Revolving Credit Facilities and Additional Notes that are “revolving” in nature as fully drawn, but not including the proceeds of any proposed Incremental Revolving Credit Facilities, Incremental Term Facilities and Additional Notes in the amount of cash to be netted in calculating such ratio) would be less than or equal to 4.0:1.0 as of the end of the most recently ended Test Period, (C) the Borrower shall be in compliance on a Pro Forma Basis (treating any proposed Incremental Revolving Credit Facility as fully drawn, but not including the proceeds of any such deemed draw in the amount of cash to be netted in calculating such ratio) with the Financial Performance Covenant as of the end of the most recent Test Period (regardless of whether such Financial Performance Covenant is applicable at such time), (D) (i) in the case of any Incremental Revolving Credit Loans, the maturity date thereof shall be no earlier than the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, such Incremental Revolving Credit Loans shall require no scheduled amortization or mandatory commitment reduction prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and (ii) any Revolving Credit Commitment Increase shall be on the same terms (and pursuant to the same documentation) governing the Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to this Agreement (including upfront fees, but excluding customary arranger fees), (E) the interest rate margins and, subject to clause (D), the amortization schedule applicable to any Incremental Revolving Credit Loans shall be determined by the Borrower and the Lenders thereunder; provided that in the event that the Effective Yield for any Incremental Revolving Credit Loans is higher than the Effective Yield for the Revolving Credit Loans by more than 50 basis points, then the Effective Yield for the Revolving Credit Loans shall be increased to the extent necessary so that such Effective Yield is equal to the Effective Yield for such Incremental Revolving Credit Loans minus 50 basis points; provided, further, that, in determining the Effective Yield applicable to the Incremental Revolving Credit Loans incurred pursuant to such Incremental Revolving Credit Facility and the Revolving Credit Loans, (x) OID or upfront fees (which shall be deemed to constitute like amounts of OID for purposes of this determination) payable by the Borrower to the Revolving Credit Lenders or any Additional Revolving Credit Lenders (with OID being equated to interest based on assumed four-year life to maturity) shall be included, (y) customary arrangement or commitment fees payable to the Joint Bookrunners (or their Affiliates) in connection with this Agreement or to one or more arrangers (or their Affiliates) of any Incremental Revolving Credit Loans shall be excluded and (z) if the Incremental Revolving Credit Loan includes an interest rate floor greater than the interest rate floor applicable to the Revolving Credit Loans, such increased amount shall be equated to interest margin for purposes of determining whether an increase to the applicable interest margin for the Revolving Credit Loans shall be required, to the extent an increase in the interest rate floor in the Revolving Credit Loans would cause an increase in the interest rate then in effect, and in such case the interest rate floor applicable to the Revolving Credit Loans shall be increased by such increased amount and (F) any Incremental Revolving Credit Facility Amendment entered into after the Closing Date shall be on the terms and pursuant to documentation to be determined
632
by the Borrower and the Additional Revolving Credit Lenders with the applicable Incremental Revolving Credit Facilities; provided that to the extent such terms and documentation are not consistent with this Agreement (except to the extent permitted by clauses (D) and (E) above), they shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; provided further that no L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender shall be required to act as “issuing bank” or “swingline lender” under any such Incremental Revolving Credit Facility without its written consent. Each Incremental Revolving Credit Facility shall be in a minimum principal amount of $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof unless such amount represents all the remaining availability under the aggregate principal amount of Incremental Revolving Credit Facilities set forth above.
(ii) At any time and from time to time after the Closing Date, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may, by notice to the Administrative Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly make a copy of such notice available to each of the Lenders), request to effect one or more additional tranches of term loans hereunder (“Incremental Term Loans”) or increases in the aggregate amount of the Term Commitments of any existing Class, which shall take the form of an additional tranche of term loans hereunder (each such increase, a “Term Commitment Increase”; together with the Incremental Term Loans, the “Incremental Term Facilities”) from one or more Additional Term Lenders; provided that at the time of each such request and upon the effectiveness of each Incremental Term Facility Amendment, (A) no Event of Default shall result therefrom, (B) the aggregate principal amount of all Incremental Revolving Credit Facilities, Incremental Term Facilities and Additional Notes incurred after the Closing Date would not exceed (x) $500,000,000 plus (y) an additional amount to the extent that the Senior Secured First-Lien Net Leverage Ratio (treating all such Incremental Revolving Credit Facilities, Incremental Term Facilities and Additional Notes as Senior Secured First-Lien Indebtedness solely for purposes of calculating such Senior Secured First-Lien Net Leverage Ratio even if such Indebtedness would not otherwise constitute Senior Secured First-Lien Indebtedness) on a Pro Forma Basis after giving effect to the incurrence of any such proposed Incremental Term Facility and any related transactions (treating any proposed Incremental Revolving Credit Facilities and Additional Notes that are “revolving” in nature as fully drawn, but not including the proceeds of any proposed Incremental Revolving Credit Facilities, Incremental Term Facilities and Additional Notes in the amount of cash to be netted in calculating such ratio) would be less than or equal to 4.0:1.0 as of the end of the most recently ended Test Period, (C) the Borrower shall be in compliance on a Pro Forma Basis with the Financial Performance Covenant as of the end of the most recent Test Period (regardless of whether such Financial Performance Covenant is applicable at such time), (D) the maturity date of any such Incremental Term Facility shall not be earlier than the Term B Maturity Date, (E) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any such Incremental Term Facility shall not be shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term B Loans, (F) the interest rate margins and, subject to clause (E), the amortization schedule for any Incremental Term Facility shall be determined by the Borrower and the Additional Term Lenders thereunder; provided that in the event that the Effective Yield for any Incremental Term Facility is higher than the Effective Yield for the Term B Loans by more than 50 basis points, then the Effective Yield for the Term B Loans shall be increased to the extent necessary so that such Effective Yield is equal to
633
the Effective Yield for such Incremental Term Facility minus 50 basis points; provided, further, that, in determining the Effective Yield applicable to the Incremental Term Facility and the Term B Loans (x) OID or upfront fees (which shall be deemed to constitute like amounts of OID) payable by Borrower to the Term B Lenders or any Additional Term Lenders in the initial primary syndication thereof (with OID being equated to interest based on assumed four-year life to maturity) shall be included, (y) customary arrangement or commitment fees payable to the Joint Bookrunners (or their Affiliates) in connection with this Agreement or to one or more arrangers (or their Affiliates) of any Incremental Term Facility shall be excluded and (z) if the Incremental Term Facility includes an interest rate floor greater than the interest rate floor applicable to the Term B Loans, such increased amount shall be equated to interest margin for purposes of determining whether an increase to the applicable interest margin for the Term B Loans shall be required, to the extent an increase in the interest rate floor in the Term B Loans would cause an increase in the interest rate then in effect, and in such case the interest rate floor (but not the interest rate margin) applicable to the Term B Loans shall be increased by such increased amount and (G) any Incremental Term Facility Amendment entered into after the Closing Date shall be on the terms and pursuant to documentation to be determined by the Borrower and the Additional Term Lenders with the applicable Incremental Term Facilities; provided that to the extent such terms and documentation are not consistent with this Agreement (except to the extent permitted by clause (F) above), they shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Each Incremental Term Facility incurred after the Closing Date shall be in a minimum principal amount of $10,000,000 and, except with respect to the Term Commitment Increase, integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof unless such amount represents all the remaining availability under the aggregate principal amount of Incremental Term Facilities set forth above.
(b) (i) Each notice from the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall set forth the requested amount of the relevant Incremental Revolving Credit Loan, Revolving Credit Commitment Increase, Incremental Term Loan or Term Commitment Increase.
(ii) Commitments in respect of any Incremental Revolving Credit Loan or Revolving Credit Commitment Increase incurred after the Closing Date shall become Commitments (or in the case of any Revolving Credit Commitment Increase to be provided after the Closing Date by an existing Revolving Credit Lender, an increase in such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment) under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Revolving Credit Facility Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower, such Additional Revolving Credit Lenders and the Administrative Agent. Incremental Revolving Credit Loans and Revolving Credit Commitment Increases may be provided, subject to the prior written consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld), by any existing Lender (it being understood that no existing Lender shall have the right to participate in any Incremental Revolving Credit Facility or, unless it agrees, be obligated to provide any Incremental Revolving Credit Loan or Revolving Credit Commitment Increase) or by any other Additional Revolving Credit Lender. An Incremental Revolving Credit Facility Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to any Loan Documents as may be necessary or
634
appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section. The effectiveness of any Incremental Revolving Credit Facility Amendment shall, unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent and the Additional Revolving Credit Lenders, be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof (each, an “Incremental Revolving Credit Facility Closing Date”) of each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (it being understood that all references to “the date of such Credit Extension” in Section 4.02 shall be deemed to refer to the Incremental Revolving Credit Facility Closing Date) and, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, receipt by the Administrative Agent of legal opinions, board resolutions, officers’ certificates and/or reaffirmation agreements consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 4.01 (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 Administrative Agent).
(iii) Commitments in respect of any Incremental Term Facility shall become Commitments under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Term Facility Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower, such Additional Term Lenders and the Administrative Agent. Incremental Term Facilities may be provided, subject to the prior written consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld), by any existing Lender (it being understood that no existing Lender shall have any right to participate in any Incremental Term Facility or, unless it agrees, be obligated to provide any Incremental Term Loan or Term Commitment Increase thereunder) or by any other Additional Term Lender. An Incremental Term Facility Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to any Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section. The effectiveness of any Incremental Term Facility Amendment shall, unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent and the Additional Term Lenders, be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof (each, an “Incremental Term Facility Closing Date”) of each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (it being understood that all references to “the date of such Borrowing” in Section 4.02 shall be deemed to refer to the Incremental Term Facility Closing Date) and, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, receipt by the Administrative Agent of legal opinions, board resolutions, officers’ certificates and/or reaffirmation agreements consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 4.01 (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 Administrative Agent).
(c) (i) Upon effectiveness of each Revolving Credit Commitment Increase pursuant to this Section, each Revolving Credit Lender immediately prior to such increase will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each Additional Revolving Credit Lender providing a portion of such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase (each a “Revolving Credit Commitment Increase Lender”), and each such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed, a portion of such Revolving Credit Lender’s participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans such that,
635
after giving effect to such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase and each such deemed assignment and assumption of participations, the percentage of the aggregate outstanding (A) participations hereunder in Letters of Credit and (B) participations hereunder in Swing Line Loans held by each Revolving Credit Lender (including each such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase Lender) will equal such Revolving Credit Lender’s Pro Rata Share. Any Revolving Credit Loans outstanding immediately prior to the date of such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase that are Eurocurrency Loans will (except to the extent otherwise repaid in accordance herewith) continue to be held by, and all interest thereon will continue to accrue for the accounts of, the Revolving Credit Lenders holding such Loans immediately prior to the date of such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase, in each case until the last day of the then-current Interest Period applicable to any such Loan, at which time it will be repaid or refinanced with new Revolving Credit Loans made pursuant to Section 2.01 in accordance with the Pro Rata Shares of the Revolving Credit Lenders after giving effect to the Revolving Credit Commitment Increase; provided, however, that upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, each Revolving Credit Commitment Increase Lender will promptly purchase (for cash at face value) assignments of portions of such outstanding Revolving Credit Loans of other Revolving Credit Lenders so that, after giving effect thereto, all Revolving Credit Loans that are Eurocurrency Loans are held by the Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their then-current Pro Rata Shares. Any such assignments shall be effected in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.07; provided that the parties hereto hereby consent to such assignments and the minimum assignment amounts and processing and recordation fee set forth in Section 11.07(b)(ii) shall not apply thereto. If there are any Base Rate Revolving Credit Loans outstanding on the date of such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase, such Loans shall either be prepaid by the Borrower on such date or refinanced on such date (subject to satisfaction of applicable borrowing conditions) with Revolving Credit Loans made on such date by the Revolving Credit Lenders (including the Revolving Credit Commitment Increase Lenders) in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares. In order to effect any such refinancing, (i) each Revolving Credit Commitment Increase Lender will make Base Rate Revolving Credit Loans to the Borrower by transferring funds to the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the aggregate outstanding amount of such Loans of such Type times a percentage obtained by dividing the amount of such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Increase by the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments (after giving effect to the Revolving Credit Commitment Increase on such date) and (ii) such funds will be applied to the prepayment of outstanding Base Rate Revolving Credit Loans held by the Revolving Credit Lenders other than the Revolving Credit Commitment Increase Lenders, and transferred by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Credit Lenders other than the Revolving Credit Commitment Increase Lenders, in such amounts so that, after giving effect thereto, all Base Rate Revolving Credit Loans will be held by the Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their then-current Pro Rata Shares. On the date of such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase, the Borrower will pay to the Administrative Agent, for the accounts of the Revolving Credit Lenders receiving such prepayments, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amounts of their Revolving Credit Loans being prepaid. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.
(ii) Upon effectiveness of each Incremental Term Facility pursuant to this Section, each Additional Term Lender shall make an additional term loan to the Borrower in a principal amount equal to such Lender’s Incremental Term Facility. Any such term loan shall be a “Term Loan” for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(d) This Section 2.14 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.13 or Section 11.01 to the contrary.
636
SECTION 2.15 Refinancing Amendments.
(a) At any time after the Closing Date, the Borrower may obtain, from any Lender or any Additional Lender, Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of (i) all or any portion of the Term Loans then outstanding under this Agreement (which for purposes of this clause (i) will be deemed to include any then outstanding Other Term Loans) or (ii) all or any portion of the Revolving Credit Loans (or unused Revolving Credit Commitments) under this Agreement (which for purposes of this clause (ii) will be deemed to include any then outstanding Other Revolving Credit Loans and Other Revolving Credit Commitments), in each case, in the form of either (x) Other Term Loans or Other Term Commitments or (y) Other Revolving Credit Loans or Other Revolving Credit Commitments and, in each case, pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment; provided that such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness (i) will be unsecured or will rank pari passu or junior (and subordinate) in right of payment and of security with the other Loans and Commitments hereunder, (ii) will have such pricing and optional prepayment terms as may be agreed by the Borrower and the Lenders thereof, (iii) (x) with respect to any Other Revolving Credit Loans or Other Revolving Credit Commitments, will have a maturity date that is not prior to the maturity date of Loans (or unused Commitments) being refinanced and (y) with respect to any Other Term Loans or Other Term Commitments, will have a maturity date that is not prior to the maturity date of, and will have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity that is not shorter than, the Loans being refinanced and (iv) will have terms and conditions (other than pricing, optional prepayment and subordination terms) that are, taken as a whole, not materially more favorable to the investors providing such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness than, the Refinanced Debt (except for covenants or other provisions applicable exclusively to periods commencing after the Latest Maturity Date at the time such Indebtedness is incurred); provided, further, that the terms and conditions applicable to such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness may provide for any additional or different financial or other covenants or other provisions that are agreed between the Borrower and the Lenders thereof and applicable only during periods after the Latest Maturity Date that is in effect on the date such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness is issued, incurred or obtained. The effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof of each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 and, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, receipt by the Administrative Agent of legal opinions, board resolutions, officers’ certificates and/or reaffirmation agreements consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 4.01 (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
637
the Administrative Agent). Each Class of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred under this Section 2.15 shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (x) not less than $25,000,000 in the case of Other Term Loans or $10,000,000 in the case of Other Revolving Credit Loans and (y) an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof unless such amount represents the total outstanding amount of the Refinanced Debt. Any Refinancing Amendment may provide for the issuance of Letters of Credit, or the provision to the Borrower of Swing Line Loans, pursuant to any Other Revolving Credit Commitments established thereby, in each case on terms substantially equivalent to the terms applicable to Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans under the Revolving Credit Commitments. The Administrative 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 Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred pursuant thereto (including any amendments necessary to treat the Loans and Commitments subject thereto as Other Term Loans, Other Revolving Credit Loans, Other Revolving Credit Commitments and/or Other Term Commitments). Any Refinancing Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section. In addition, if so provided in the relevant Refinancing Amendment and with the consent of each L/C Issuer, participations in Letters of Credit expiring on or after the Revolving Credit Maturity Date shall be reallocated from Lenders holding Revolving Credit Commitments to Lenders holding extended revolving commitments in accordance with the terms of such Refinancing Amendment; provided, however, that such participation interests shall, upon receipt thereof by the relevant Lenders holding Revolving Credit Commitments, be deemed to be participation interests in respect of such Revolving Credit Commitments and the terms of such participation interests (including, without limitation, the commission applicable thereto) shall be adjusted accordingly.
(b) This Section 2.15 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.13 or Section 11.01 to the contrary.
SECTION 2.16 Extended Loans.
(a) The Borrower may at any time and from time to time, by making an offer on a pro rata basis to each of the Lenders of the applicable Class, request that all or a portion of the Term Loans of any Class (for any such Class, the “Existing Term Loans”) be converted to extend the scheduled maturity date(s) of any payment of principal with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of such Existing Term Loans (any such Existing Term Loans which have been so converted, the “Extended Term Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.16. In order to establish any Extended Term Loans, the Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly make a copy of such notice available to each of the Lenders of such Existing Term Loans) (a “Term Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Term Loans to be established, which shall be substantially similar to the Existing Term Loans from which they are to be converted, except that (i) the scheduled final maturity date shall be extended and all or any of the scheduled amortization payments of principal of the Extended Term Loans may be delayed to dates later than the scheduled amortization date of such Existing Term Loans
638
(with any such delay resulting in a corresponding adjustment to the scheduled amortization payments reflected in Section 2.07, the Incremental Term Facility Amendment, or the Refinancing Amendment, as the case may be, with respect to such Existing Term Loans, in each case as set forth in paragraph (d) of this Section 2.16 below), (ii) the interest margins with respect to the Extended Term Loans may be higher or lower than the interest margins for such Existing Term Loans and (iii) additional fees may be payable to the Lenders providing such Extended Term Loans in addition to or in lieu of any increased margins contemplated by the preceding clause (ii), in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Existing Term Loans converted into Extended Term Loans pursuant to any Extension Request. The Extended Term Loans shall constitute a separate Class of Term Loans from the Existing Term Loans from which they were converted.
(b) The Borrower may at any time and from time to time request, by making an offer on a pro rata basis to each of the Lenders of the applicable Class, that all or a portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class (for any such Class, the “Existing Revolving Credit Commitments” and any related Class of revolving credit loans thereunder, the “Existing Revolving Credit Loans”) be converted to extend the termination date thereof and the scheduled maturity date(s) of any payment of principal with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of Loans related to such Existing Revolving Credit Commitments (any such Existing Revolving Credit Commitments which have been so extended, “Extended Revolving Credit Commitments” and any related Loans, “Extended Revolving Credit Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.16. In order to establish any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, the Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly make a copy of such notice available to each of the Lenders of such Existing Revolving Credit Commitments) (a “Revolving Credit Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments to be established, which terms shall be substantially similar to those applicable to the Existing Revolving Credit Commitments from which they are to be converted, except that (i) all or any of the final maturity dates of the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments may be delayed to dates later than the final maturity dates of such Existing Revolving Credit Commitments, (ii) the interest margins with respect to the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments may be higher or lower than the interest margins for such Existing Revolving Credit Commitments, (iii) additional fees may be payable to the Lenders providing such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments in addition to or in lieu of any increased margins contemplated by the preceding clause (ii) and (iv) the commitment fee with respect to the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments may be higher or lower than the commitment fee for such Existing Revolving Credit Commitments, in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.16 or otherwise, (A) borrowings, voluntary prepayments and voluntary commitment reductions (other than in connection with a permanent repayment and termination of commitments at the final stated maturity of any shorter tenored Revolving Credit Commitment) of Loans with respect to any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments shall be made on a pro rata basis with all other Revolving Credit Commitments, (B) assignments and participations of the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and the Extended Revolving Credit Loans shall be governed by Section 11.07 and (C) subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(l) and Section 2.04(a)(ii), all Swing Line Loans and Letters of Credit shall be participated on a pro rata basis by
639
all Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Credit Commitments. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Existing Revolving Credit Loans or Existing Revolving Credit Commitments converted into Extended Revolving Credit Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to any Revolving Credit Extension Request. Any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments shall constitute a separate Class of Revolving Credit Commitments from the Existing Revolving Credit Commitments from which they were converted.
(c) The Borrower shall provide the applicable Extension Request at least three (3) Business Days (or such shorter time period as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably agree) prior to the date on which Lenders under the applicable Existing Loans are requested to respond. Any Lender (an “Extending Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Existing Loans subject to such Extension Request converted into Extended Loans shall notify the Administrative Agent (an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of such Existing Loans that it has elected to convert into Extended Loans. In the event that the aggregate amount of any Class of Existing Loans subject to such Extension Election exceeds the amount of the applicable Extended Loans requested pursuant to the Extension Request, such Existing Loans shall be converted to Extended Loans on a pro rata basis (subject to rounding by the Administrative Agent, which shall be conclusive) based on the aggregate amount of Existing Loans included in each such Extension Election.
(d) Extended Loans shall be established pursuant to an amendment (an “Extension Amendment”) to this Agreement among the Borrower, the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and each Extending Term Lender providing an Extended Loan thereunder (which, except to the extent expressly contemplated by the last sentence of this Section 2.16(d) and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 11.01, shall not require the consent of any Lender other than the Extending Lenders with respect to the Extended Loans, as applicable, established thereby) executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Extending Lenders. No Extension Amendment shall provide for any tranche of Extended Loans in an aggregate principal amount that is less than $50,000,000 unless such amount represents the total outstanding amount of the Existing Loans of the applicable Class. In addition to any terms and changes required or permitted by Section 2.16(a), each Extension Amendment (x) with respect to the Existing Term Loans from which the Extended Term Loans were converted, shall amend the scheduled amortization payments required pursuant to Section 2.07, the Incremental Term Facility Amendment or the Refinancing Amendment, as applicable, to reduce each scheduled repayment amount for such Existing Term Loans in the same proportion as the amount of such Existing Term Loans to be converted pursuant to such Extension Amendment (it being understood that any repayment amount with respect to any such individual Existing Term Loan that is not an Extended Term Loan shall not be reduced as a result thereof), (y) may, but shall not be required to, impose additional requirements (not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement in effect at such time) with respect to the final maturity and weighted average life to maturity of Incremental Term Loans incurred following the Extension Date for such Extension Amendment and (z) effect such other amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.16 and the terms and conditions applicable to the Extended Loans.
640
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) on any date on which any Existing Loans are converted to Extended Loans (each such date, an “Extension Date”), (A) in the case of any Class of Existing Term Loans of each Extending Term Lender of such Class, the aggregate principal amount of such Existing Term Loans of such Class shall be deemed reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Extended Term Loans so converted by such Lender on such date, and the Extended Term Loans shall be established as a separate Class of Term Loans from such Existing Term Loans and (B) in the case of any Class of Existing Revolving Credit Commitments of each Extending Revolving Lender, the aggregate principal amount of such Existing Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class shall be deemed reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Extended Revolving Credit Commitments so converted by such Lender on such date, and such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments shall be established as a separate Class of Revolving Credit Commitments from such Existing Revolving Credit Commitments and (ii) if, on any Extension Date, any Existing Revolving Credit Loans of any Extending Lender are outstanding under the applicable Existing Revolving Credit Commitments, such Existing Revolving Credit Loans (and any related participations) shall be deemed to be allocated as Extended Revolving Credit Loans (and related participations) and Existing Revolving Credit Loans (and related participations) in the same proportion as such Extending Lender’s Existing Revolving Credit Commitments to Extended Revolving Credit Commitments.
(f) At any time following the establishment of any Extended Loans, the Borrower may offer to any Lender (without being required to make the same offer to any or all other Lenders) holding the Existing Loans from which such Extended Loans were converted and who did not to make a Extension Election in respect of any portion of such Existing Loans on or prior to the date specified in the Extension Request relating to such Extended Loans the right to convert all or any portion of such Existing Loans into Extended Loans of the same Class; provided that (A) such offer and any related acceptance (x) shall be in accordance with such procedures, if any, as may be reasonably requested by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent and (y) shall be on identical terms (including as to the proposed interest rates and fees payable, but excluding any arrangement, structuring or other fees payable in connection therewith that are not generally shared with other Extending Lenders) to those previously offered to the Extending Lenders who agreed to convert their Existing Loans into Extended Loans of such Class, (B) any Lender which agrees to an extension pursuant to this clause (f) shall enter into a joinder agreement to the respective Extension Amendment in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and executed by such Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (and the Required Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any such joinder agreement) and (C) the Existing Loans of any such Lender that are converted pursuant to this clause (f) shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than a Dollar Amount of $1,000,000 (or, if such Lender’s outstanding Loans of such Class amount to less than a Dollar Amount of $1,000,000, such lesser amount), unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consents.
(g) In the event that the Administrative Agent determines in its sole discretion that the allocation of Extended Revolving Credit Commitments to a given Lender was incorrectly determined as a result of manifest administrative error in the receipt and processing of an Extension Election by any Lender to extend all or a portion of its Existing Revolving Credit Commitments timely submitted by any such Lender in accordance with the procedures set

forth in the Revolving Credit Extension Request, then the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and such affected Lender may (and hereby are authorized to), in their sole discretion and without the consent of any other Lender, enter into an amendment to this Agreement and, if necessary, the other Loan Documents (each, a “Corrective Revolving Credit Extension Amendment”) within 15 days following the applicable Extension Date, which Corrective Revolving Credit Extension Amendment shall (i) provide for the conversion and extension of the applicable Extended Revolving Credit Commitments in the amount such Lender would have held had such administrative error not occurred and had such Lender received the minimum allocation of the applicable Loans or Commitments to which it was entitled under the terms of such Extension in the absence of such error, (ii) be subject to the satisfaction of such conditions as the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and such Lender may agree, and (iii) effect such other amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.16.
(h) In the event that the Administrative Agent determines in its sole discretion that the allocation of Extended Term Loans to a given Lender was incorrectly determined as a result of manifest administrative error in the receipt and processing of an Extension Election by any Lender to extend all or a portion of its Existing Term Loans timely submitted by any such Lender in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Term Extension Request, then the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and such affected Lender may (and hereby are authorized to), in their sole discretion and without the consent of any other Lender, enter into an amendment to this Agreement and, if necessary, the other Loan Documents (each, a “Corrective Term Loan Extension Amendment”) within 15 days following the applicable Extension Date, which Corrective Term Loan Extension Amendment shall (i) provide for the conversion and extension of the applicable Extended Term Loans in the amount such Lender would have held had such administrative error not occurred and had such Lender received the minimum allocation of the applicable Loans or Commitments to which it was entitled under the terms of such Extension in the absence of such error, (ii) be subject to the satisfaction of such conditions as the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and such Lender may agree, and (iii) effect such other amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.16.
(i) This Section 2.16 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.13 or Section 11.01 to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, no conversion of Existing Loans pursuant to any Extension Amendment in accordance with this Section 2.16 shall constitute a voluntary or mandatory payment or prepayment for purposes of this Agreement.
SECTION 2.17 Currency Equivalents.
(a) The Administrative Agent shall determine the Dollar Amount of each Revolving Credit Loan and L/C Obligation in respect of Letters of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency (i) as of the first day of each Interest Period applicable thereto and (ii) as of the end of each fiscal quarter of the Borrower, and shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of each Dollar Amount so determined by it. Each such determination shall be based on the Exchange Rate (x) on the date of the related Committed Loan Notice for purposes of the
642
initial such determination for any applicable Revolving Credit Loan and (y) on the fourth Business Day prior to the date as of which such Dollar Amount is to be determined, for purposes of any subsequent determination.
(b) If after giving effect to any such determination of a Dollar Amount, the sum of the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Credit Loans and the L/C Obligations exceeds the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect by 5% or more, the Borrower shall, within five (5) Business Days of receipt of notice thereof from the Administrative Agent setting forth such calculation in reasonable detail, prepay the applicable outstanding Revolving Credit Loans or take other action as the Administrative Agent, in its discretion, may direct (including Cash Collateralization of the applicable L/C Obligations in amounts from time to time equal to such excess) to the extent necessary to eliminate any such excess.
SECTION 2.18 Defaulting Lenders. Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:
(i) Waivers and Amendments. That Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 11.01.
(ii) Reallocation of Payments. 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 IX or otherwise), 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, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the L/C Issuers or Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by an L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, to be held as Cash Collateral for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Swing Line Loan or Letter of Credit; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), 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; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, 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; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the L/C Issuers or Swing Line Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under
643
this Agreement; and eighth, 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 or L/C Borrowings in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans or L/C Borrowings were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Borrowings owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Borrowings owed to, that Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.18(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
(iii) Certain Fees. That Defaulting Lender (x) shall not be entitled to receive any commitment fee pursuant to Section 2.09(a) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender) and (y) shall be limited in its right to receive Letter of Credit fees as provided in Section 2.03(h).
(iv) Reallocation of Pro Rata Share to Reduce Fronting Exposure. During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each Non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans pursuant to Sections 2.03 and 2.04, the “Pro Rata Share” of each Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Loans and L/C Obligations shall be computed without giving effect to the Commitment of that Defaulting Lender; provided that (i) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the date the applicable Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and (ii) the aggregate obligation of each Non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (1) the Commitment of that Non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Loans of that Non-Defaulting Lender.
(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and the L/C Issuers 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 (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), 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 determine to be necessary to cause the Revolving Credit Loans of the applicable Facility and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Share of the applicable Facility (without giving effect to Section 2.18(a)(iv)), 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 Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided
644
further that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
ARTICLE III
Taxes, Increased Costs Protection and Illegality
SECTION 3.01 Taxes.
(a) Except as required by law, any and all payments by the Borrower (the term Borrower under Article III being deemed to include any Subsidiary for whose account a Letter of Credit is issued) or any Guarantor to or for the account of any Agent or any Lender under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and all liabilities (including additions to tax, penalties and interest) with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of each Agent and each Lender, (i) taxes imposed on or measured by its net income (however denominated, and including branch profits and similar taxes), (ii) taxes imposed solely by reason of any connection between it and any jurisdiction other than by executing or entering into any Loan Document, receiving payments thereunder or having been a party to, performed its obligations under, or enforced, any Loan Document, (iii) franchise (and similar) taxes imposed on it in lieu of net income taxes, (iv) any taxes imposed in respect of an Assignee or other transferee pursuant to an assignment, participation or other transfer under Section 11.07 to the extent that, under applicable Laws in effect on the date of transfer, such tax is in excess of the tax that would have been applicable and indemnifiable by Borrower hereunder had such transferor not assigned its interest arising under any Loan Document (unless such assignment, transfer or participation is at the express written request of the Borrower), (v) U.S. federal withholding tax imposed pursuant to FATCA, (vi) amounts excluded pursuant to Section 3.01(f) hereto and (vii) any taxes imposed as a result of the failure of any Agent or Lender to comply with either the provisions of Section 3.01(b) and (c) (in the case of any Foreign Lender, as defined below) or the provisions of Section 3.01(e) (in the case of any U.S. Lender, as defined below) (all such non-excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If the Borrower is required by any Laws to deduct any Taxes or Other Taxes (as defined below) from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to any Agent or any Lender, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01(a)), each of such Agent and such Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions, (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority, and (iv) within thirty (30) days after the date of such payment (or, if receipts or evidence are not available within thirty (30) days, as soon as practicable thereafter), the Borrower shall furnish to such Agent or Lender (as the case may be) the original or a facsimile copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof to the extent such a receipt has been made available to the Borrower, or such other evidence of payment as is reasonably acceptable to such Agent or Lender. If the Borrower fails to pay any
645
Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to any Agent or any Lender the required receipts or other required documentary evidence that has been made available to the Borrower, the Borrower shall indemnify such Agent and such Lender for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by such Agent or such Lender arising out of such failure (excluding, however, any such incremental taxes, interest or penalties incurred as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the relevant Agent or Lender (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment)). If the Borrower reasonably believes that any Taxes or Other Taxes it pays under this Section 3.01(a) were not correctly or legally imposed, the Agent and/or each affected Lender will use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower in pursuing a refund of such Taxes or Other Taxes so long as such efforts would not, in the sole determination of the Administrative Agent or affected Lender exercised in good faith, result in any additional costs, expenses or risks or be otherwise disadvantageous to it.
(b) Each Agent or Lender (including an Assignee to which a Lender assigns its interest in accordance with Section 11.07) that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (each a “Foreign Lender”) agrees to complete and deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent prior to the date on which the first payment is due to it hereunder, unless it is unable to do so solely as a result of a change in applicable Law after the initial Credit Extension on the Closing Date, an accurate, complete and original signed (i) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or successor form certifying that it is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party that reduces the rate of withholding tax on payments of interest to zero; (ii) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or successor form certifying that the income receivable pursuant to any Loan Document is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States; or (iii) if the Foreign Lender is not (A) a bank described in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a 10-percent shareholder described in Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a controlled foreign corporation related to the Borrower within the meaning of Section 864(d) of the Code, an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or successor form certifying that the Foreign Lender is not a United States person and a separate certification in the form attached hereto at Exhibit J that interest received by the Foreign Lender under any Loan Document qualifies as “portfolio interest” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(2) of the Code.
(c) Thereafter and from time to time, each such Foreign Lender shall, unless it is unable to do so solely as a result of a change in applicable Law after the initial Credit Extension on the Closing Date (other than in the case of clause (B) below) (i) promptly submit to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent such additional duly completed and signed copies of one or more of such forms or certificates (or such successor forms or certificates as shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant United States taxing authorities) as may then be available to secure an exemption from or reduction in the rate of U.S. withholding tax (A) on or before the date that any such form, certificate or other evidence expires or becomes obsolete, (B) after the occurrence of a change in the Foreign Lender’s circumstances requiring a change in the most recent form, certificate or evidence previously delivered by it to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and (C) from time to time thereafter if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, and (ii) promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any change in the Foreign Lender’s circumstances which would modify or render invalid or inaccurate any claimed exemption or reduction.
646
(d) Each Agent and Lender (including, for the avoidance of doubt, “U.S. Lenders,” as defined below) agrees to all reasonable requests of the Borrower that each comply with any certification, identification, information, documentation or other reporting requirement if such compliance is required by Law, regulation, administrative practice or an applicable treaty as a precondition to exemption from, or reduction in the rate of deduction or withholding of any Taxes or Other Taxes for which a Lender or Agent receives indemnity payments or additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01; provided that no such Agent or Lender shall be required to comply unless (i) it is not prohibited by any applicable Law from complying, (ii) such compliance will not result in any prejudice to its interest (other than any de minimis prejudice), (iii) Borrower has provided the required forms or documentation to such Agent or Lender reasonably in advance of the deadline for the filing or submission of such forms or other documentation with such forms duly completed by the Borrower with such information available to the Borrower, and (iv) Borrower shall be responsible for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by such Agent or Lender in connection with such compliance.
(e) Each Agent or Lender (including an Assignee to which a Lender assigns its interest in accordance with Section 11.07) that is a “United States person” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(3) of the Code) (each a “U.S. Lender”) agrees to complete and deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent an accurate, complete and original signed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or successor form certifying that such Agent or Lender is not subject to United States federal backup withholding tax (i) on or prior to the Closing Date (or on or prior to the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement), (ii) on or before the date on which such form expires or becomes obsolete, (iii) after the occurrence of a change in the Agent’s or Lender’s circumstances requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and (iv) from time to time thereafter if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent.
(f) Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary and for the avoidance of doubt, if a Lender or an Agent is subject to United States federal withholding tax at a rate in excess of zero percent at the time when such Lender or such Agent first becomes a party to this Agreement (or changes its place of organization or its place of doing business, or designates a new Lending Office other than at the written request of the Borrower to change such Lending Office), such withholding tax (including additions to tax, penalties and interest imposed with respect to such withholding tax) shall be considered excluded from Taxes. Further, the Borrower shall not be required pursuant to this Section 3.01 to pay any additional amount to, or to indemnify, any Lender or Agent, as the case may be, to the extent that such Lender or such Agent becomes subject to Taxes subsequent to the Closing Date (or, if later, the date such Lender or Agent becomes a party to this Agreement) as a result of a change in the place of organization or place of doing business of such Lender or Agent or a change in the Lending Office of such Lender (other than at the written request of the Borrower to change such Lending Office).
(g) Notwithstanding anything else herein, the Borrower shall not be required pursuant to this Section 3.01 to pay any additional amount for or on an account of any United States tax imposed under FATCA, in respect of a payment made hereunder after December 31, 2013 that would not have been imposed but for a failure by the Lender or any other legal or beneficial holder or any foreign financial institution through which payments under this Agreement are made to comply with any applicable certification, documentation, information or other reporting requirement if such compliance is required by FATCA as a precondition to relief or exemption from such United States tax.
647
(h) The Borrower agrees to pay any and all present or future stamp, court or documentary taxes and any other excise, property, intangible or mortgage recording taxes or charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document excluding, in each case, such amounts that result from an Assignment and Assumption, grant of a Participation, transfer or assignment to or designation of a new applicable Lending Office or other office for receiving payments under any Loan Document, except to the extent that any such change is requested or required in writing by the Borrower (all such non-excluded taxes described in this Section 3.01(h) being hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).
(i) If any Taxes or Other Taxes are directly asserted against any Agent or Lender with respect to any payment received by such Agent or Lender in respect of any Loan Document, such Agent or Lender may pay such Taxes or Other Taxes and the Borrower will promptly pay such additional amounts so that each of such Agent and such Lender receives an amount equal to the sum that it would have received had no such Taxes or Other Taxes been asserted. Payments under this Section 3.01(i) shall be made within fifteen (15) Business Days after the date on which the Borrower receives written demand for payment from such Agent or Lender, such written demand shall include a copy of the notice of assessment or other evidence of the requirement to pay such amount received from the relevant taxing authority.
(j) An Assignee or Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the interest subject to the Assignment or the participation sold to such Participant at the time of the Assignment or the sale of the Participation, unless the Assignment or the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent.
(k) If any Lender or Agent determines, in its sole good faith discretion, that it has received or realized any refund, whether directly or through any reduction of, or credit against its tax liabilities due to such refund, which refund, reduction or credit is attributable to (in the good faith judgment of such Lender or Agent) Taxes or Other Taxes as to which indemnification or additional amounts have been paid to it pursuant to this Section 3.01, such Lender of Agent shall promptly remit an amount equal to such refund or reduction or credit(but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid to the Lender or Agent under this Section 3.01 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund, reduction or credit plus any interest included in such amount by the relevant taxing authority attributable thereto) to the Borrower, net of all reasonable, documented out of pocket expenses of the Lender or Agent, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant taxing authority with respect to such amount); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Lender or Agent, as the case may be, agrees promptly to return such amount to such party in the event such party is required to repay such amount to the relevant taxing authority. Such Lender or Agent, as the case may be, shall provide the Borrower with a copy of any notice of assessment or other evidence of the requirement to repay such amount received from the relevant taxing authority (provided that such Lender or Agent may delete any
648
information therein that such Lender or Agent deems confidential in its reasonable discretion). The parties hereto agree that any position taken on the tax returns of the Lender and Agent shall be within their sole good faith discretion and neither the Lender nor Agent shall be under any obligation to disclose any tax return or filing or related document to anyone as a result of this Section 3.01(k).
(l) Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 3.01(a) or (h) with respect to such Lender it will, if requested by the Borrower, use commercially reasonable efforts (subject to legal and regulatory restrictions) to mitigate the effect of any such event, including by designating another Lending Office for any Loan or Letter of Credit affected by such event and by completing and delivering or filing any tax related forms which would reduce or eliminate any amount of Taxes or Other Taxes required to be deducted or withheld or paid by Borrower; provided that such efforts are made on terms that, in the sole good faith judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its Lending Office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage unless such disadvantage is de minimis, and provided further that nothing in this Section 3.01(l) shall affect or postpone any of the Obligations of the Borrower or the rights of such Lender pursuant to Section 3.01(a) or (h).
(m) The Borrower and Administrative Agent may deduct and withhold any taxes required by any Laws to be deducted and withheld from any payment under any of the Loan Documents.
(n) The agreements in this Section 3.01 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
SECTION 3.02 Illegality. If after the Closing Date, any Lender reasonably determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund any Eurocurrency Rate Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the applicable Eurocurrency Rate, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue any affected Eurocurrency Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to such Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans (subject to Section 3.05) and shall upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, (i) if applicable, convert all then outstanding affected Eurocurrency Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate) or (II) if applicable and such Loans are denominated in an Alternative Currency, to the extent the applicable Borrower and all Appropriate Lenders agree, convert such Loans to Loans bearing interest at an alternative rate mutually acceptable to the applicable Borrower and all of the Appropriate Lenders, in each case, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans to such day, or promptly, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also
649
pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted and all amounts due, if any, in connection with such prepayment or conversion under Section 3.05. Each Lender 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, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.
SECTION 3.03 Inability to Determine Rates. If the Required Lenders reasonably determine, in connection with any request for a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof, that by reason of any changes affecting the applicable interbank Eurocurrency market adequate and fair means do not exist for determining the Eurocurrency Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan, or that the Eurocurrency Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, or that deposits are not being offered to banks in the relevant interbank market for the applicable amount and the Interest Period of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan, in each case due to circumstances arising on or after the date hereof, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain any affected Eurocurrency Rate Loans in the affected currency or currencies shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, subject to Section 3.05, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein (or, in the case of a pending request for a Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency, the Borrower and the Lenders may establish a mutually acceptable alternative rate).
SECTION 3.04 Increased Cost and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy; Reserves on Eurocurrency Rate Loans.
(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 increase in the cost to such Lender of make or making, funding or maintaining Eurocurrency Rate Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or a reduction in the amount received or receivable by such Lender in connection with any of the foregoing (excluding for purposes of this Section 3.04(a) any such increased costs or reduction in amount resulting from (i) Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01, or which would have been so covered but for an exclusion included therein, (ii) the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any taxes payable by such Lender, (iii) reserve requirements contemplated by Section 3.04(c) and (iv) the requirements of the Bank of England and the Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank reflected in the Mandatory Cost, other than as set forth below) or the Mandatory Cost, as calculated hereunder, does not represent the cost to such Lender of complying with the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank in relation to its making, funding or maintaining of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, then from time to time within fifteen (15) days after demand by such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail such increased costs (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent given in accordance with Section 3.06), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased costs
650
actually incurred or reduction actually suffered or, if applicable, the portion of such cost that is not represented by the Mandatory Cost. At any time that any Eurocurrency Rate Loan is affected by the circumstances described in this Section 3.04(a), the Borrower may, subject to Section 3.05, either (i) if the affected Eurocurrency Rate Loan is then being made pursuant to a Borrowing, cancel such Borrowing by giving the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (confirmed promptly in writing) thereof on the same date that the Borrower receives any such demand from such Lender or (ii) if the affected Eurocurrency Rate Loan is then outstanding, upon at least three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, require the affected Lender to convert such Eurocurrency Rate Loan into a Base Rate Loan, if applicable.
(b) If any Lender reasonably determines that the introduction of any Law regarding capital adequacy 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 reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation controlling such Lender could have achieved but for such introduction or change (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time upon demand of such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the charge and the calculation of such reduced rate of return (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent given in accordance with Section 3.06), the Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will reasonably compensate such Lender for such reduction actually suffered.
(c) The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, (i) as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits, additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurocurrency Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves 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 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 the Eurocurrency Rate 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 that the Borrower shall have received at least fifteen (15) 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 fifteen (15) days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest or cost shall be due and payable fifteen (15) days from receipt of such notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 3.04 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than one-hundred and twenty (120) days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of such increased costs or reductions; provided that, if the Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the one-hundred and twenty-day (120-day) period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
651
(d) If any Lender requests compensation under this Section 3.04, then such Lender will, if requested by the Borrower, use commercially reasonable efforts to designate another Lending Office for any Loan or Letter of Credit affected by such event; provided that such efforts are made on terms that, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its Lending Office(s) to suffer no material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided further that nothing in this Section 3.04(d) shall affect or postpone any of the Obligations of the Borrower or the rights of such Lender pursuant to Section 3.04(a), (b), (c) or (d).
(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3.04, no Lender shall demand compensation for any increased costs under this Section 3.04 if it shall not be the general policy or practice of such Lender to demand such compensation in similar circumstances and unless such demand is generally consistent with such Lender’s treatment of comparable borrowers of such Lender in the United States with respect to similarly affected commitments or loans.
(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (x) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be a change after the Closing Date in a requirement or interpretation of law or governmental rule, regulation or order, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented for all purposes under or in connection with this Agreement (including this Section 3.04 and Section 3.05).
SECTION 3.05 Funding Losses. Upon written demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, which demand shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount, the Borrower 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 Eurocurrency Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan; or
(b) any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Eurocurrency Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower;
including any loss or expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits) actually incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained.
SECTION 3.06 Matters Applicable to All Requests for Compensation.
(a) Any Agent or Lender claiming compensation under this Article III shall deliver a certificate to the Borrower setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder which shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Agent or Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.
652
(b) With respect to any Lender’s claim for compensation under Sections 3.01, 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate such Lender for any amount incurred more than one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower 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. If any Lender requests compensation by the Borrower under Section 3.04, the Borrower may, by notice to such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), suspend the obligation of such Lender to make or continue from one Interest Period to another Eurocurrency Rate Loans, or to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurocurrency Rate Loans, until the event or condition giving rise to such request ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 3.06(c) shall be applicable); provided that such suspension shall not affect the right of such Lender to receive the compensation so requested.
(c) If the obligation of any Lender to make or continue from one Interest Period to another any Eurocurrency Rate Loan, or to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 3.06(b) hereof, such Lender’s Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be automatically converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for such Eurocurrency Rate Loans (or, in the case of an immediate conversion required by Section 3.02, on such earlier date as required by Law) and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 3.01, 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04 hereof that gave rise to such conversion no longer exist:
(i) to the extent that such Lender’s Eurocurrency Rate Loans have been so converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Loans; and
(ii) all Loans that would otherwise be made or continued from one Interest Period to another by such Lender as Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be made or continued instead as Base Rate Loans, and all Base Rate Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be converted into Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall remain as Base Rate Loans.
(d) If any Lender gives notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) that the circumstances specified in Section 3.01, 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04 hereof that gave rise to the conversion of such Lender’s Eurocurrency Rate Loans pursuant to this Section 3.06 no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when Eurocurrency Rate Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, such Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall be automatically converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding Eurocurrency Rate Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding Eurocurrency Rate Loans and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, interest rate basis, and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Commitments.
653
SECTION 3.07 Replacement of Lenders under Certain Circumstances.
(a) If at any time (i) any Lender requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04 as a result of any condition described in such Sections or any Lender ceases to make Eurocurrency Rate Loans as a result of any condition described in Section 3.02 or Section 3.04, (ii) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or (iii) any Lender becomes a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, on ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and such Lender, replace such Lender by causing such Lender to (and such Lender shall be obligated to) assign pursuant to Section 11.07(b) (at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower, including the payment of any processing or recordation fee by the Borrower in each instance) all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (or, with respect to clause (iii) above, all of its rights and obligations with respect to the Class of Loans or Commitments that is the subject of the related consent, waiver or amendment) to one or more Eligible Assignees; provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to the Borrower to find a replacement Lender or other such Person; and provided further that (A) in the case of such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payment and (B) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable Eligible Assignees shall have agreed to the applicable departure, waiver or amendment of the Loan Documents. No such replacement shall be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender.
(b) Any Lender being replaced pursuant to Section 3.07(a) above shall (i) execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such Lender’s Commitment and outstanding Loans and participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans, and (ii) deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrower or Administrative Agent (or a lost or destroyed note indemnity in lieu thereof).

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, any Lender that acts as a L/C Issuer may not be replaced hereunder at any time that it has any Letter of Credit outstanding hereunder unless arrangements reasonably satisfactory to such L/C Issuer (including the furnishing of a back-up standby letter of credit in form and substance, and issued by an issuer reasonably satisfactory to such L/C Issuer or the depositing of cash collateral into a cash collateral account in amounts and pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory to such L/C Issuer) have been made with respect to each such outstanding Letter of Credit and the Lender that acts as the Administrative Agent may not be replaced hereunder except in accordance with the terms of Section 10.09.
654
(d) In the event that (i) the Borrower or the Administrative Agent has requested that the Lenders consent to a departure or waiver of any provisions of the Loan Documents or agree to any amendment thereto, (ii) the consent, waiver or amendment in question requires the agreement of all affected Lenders in accordance with the terms of Section 11.01 or all the Lenders with respect to a certain Class or Classes of the Loans and (iii) the Required Lenders (or, in the case of any such consent, waiver or amendment requiring the agreement of all the Lenders with respect to a certain Class of Loans, the Majority Lenders with respect to such Class) have agreed to such consent, waiver or amendment, then any Lender who does not agree to such consent, waiver or amendment shall be deemed a “Non-Consenting Lender”; provided that the term “Non-Consenting Lender” shall also include (x) any Lender that rejects (or is deemed to reject) an Extension Request under Section 2.16, which Extension Request has been accepted under Section 2.16 by at least the Majority Lenders of the respective Class of Existing Loans which are to be extended pursuant to such Extension Request and (y) any Lender that does not elect to become a Lender in respect of any Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness pursuant to Section 2.15.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, if, at any time during any period in which the foregoing financial covenant is suspended in connection with a Material Travel Event Disruption, the Borrower is not then in compliance with such covenant (were such covenant not then suspended), then, for so long as (but only so long as) such noncompliance exists, (a) the Borrower shall not be permitted to make Restricted Payments to Holdings to fund dividends or other payments (other than ordinary course expense reimbursement payments) to the Sponsor Group and (b) the Borrower and its Restricted
699
Subsidiaries shall not be permitted to make Permitted Acquisitions or any Investments in the Sponsor Group or any member of the Sponsor Group (except that the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries may consummate Permitted Acquisitions and Investments pursuant to binding commitments in existence at or prior to the date on which the relevant Covenant Suspension Period began), unless, at the time of making any such Permitted Acquisition or Investment (on a Pro Forma Basis after giving effect thereto), the sum of (i) the amount of unutilized Revolving Credit Commitments plus (ii) the amount of cash and Cash Equivalents then held by Holdings, the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries is no less than $100,000,000.

SECTION 9.03 Application of Funds. (a) After any exercise of remedies provided for in Section 9.02 (or after the Loans have automatically become immediately due and payable and the L/C Obligations have automatically been required to be Cash Collateralized as set forth in the proviso to Section 9.02(a)), any amounts received on account of the Secured Obligations shall be applied by the Administrative Agent in the following order:
First, to payment of that portion of the Secured Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (other than principal and interest, but including Attorney Costs payable under Section 11.04 and amounts payable under Article III) payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such;
Second, to payment of that portion of the Secured Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal and interest) payable to the Lenders (including Attorney Costs payable under Section 11.05 and amounts payable under Article III), ratably among them in proportion to the amounts described in this clause Second payable to them;

Last, the balance, if any, after all of the Secured Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by Law; provided, in each case, that for the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the proceeds of any Collateral pledged by a Guarantor be applied to payment of any Excluded Swap Obligations (as defined in the Security Agreement) of such Guarantor.
(b) Subject to Section 2.03(c), amounts used to Cash Collateralize the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to clause Fifth in Section 9.03(a) above shall be applied to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur. If any amount remains on deposit as Cash Collateral after all Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or expired, such remaining amount shall be applied to the other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth in Section 9.03(a) above and, if no Obligations remain outstanding, to the Borrower.
704
SECTION 9.04. Right to Cure. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 9.01, in the event that the Borrower fails (or, but for the operation of this Section 9.04, would fail) to comply with the financial covenant set forth in Article VIII and until the expiration of the tenth (10th) Business Day after the date on which financial statements are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(a) or (b), as applicable, with respect to the applicable fiscal quarter (or the fiscal year ended on the last day of such fiscal quarter) hereunder (such date, the “Cure Expiration Date”), the Borrower may engage in a Permitted Equity Issuance and apply the amount of the net cash proceeds thereof to increase Consolidated EBITDA with respect to such applicable quarter; provided that such net cash proceeds (i) are actually received by the Borrower no later than ten (10) Business Days after the date on which financial statements are required to be delivered with respect to such fiscal quarter hereunder, (ii) are Not Otherwise Applied and disregarded for purposes of calculating the Available Amount, (iii) do not exceed the aggregate amount necessary to comply with Article VIII for any applicable period, and (iv) shall not result in any pro forma reduction in Indebtedness for the purposes of determining compliance with the financial covenant set forth in Article VIII for the fiscal quarter in which such Permitted Equity Issuance is made. If, after giving effect to the foregoing increase to Consolidated EBITDA, the Borrower shall then be in compliance with the requirements of Article VIII, the Borrower shall be deemed to have satisfied such requirements as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect as though there had been (or would have been) no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the failure to comply that occurred (or would have occurred) shall be deemed cured for purposes of this Agreement. The parties hereby acknowledge that this Section 9.04(a) may not be relied on for purposes of calculating any financial ratios other than as applicable to Article VIII and shall not result in any adjustment to any amounts (including, without limitation, Consolidated Senior Secured First-Lien Indebtedness) other than the amount of the Consolidated EBITDA referred to in the immediately preceding sentence.
(b) In each period of four fiscal quarters, (i) there shall be at least two (2) fiscal quarters in which no cure set forth in Section 9.04(a) is made and (ii) during the term of this Agreement, the cure set forth in Section 9.04(a) shall not be exercised more than five times.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 9.01, in the event that the Borrower fails (or, but for the operation of this Section 9.04, would fail) to comply with the financial covenant set forth in Article VIII, the Borrower may cure such failure by repaying Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Line Loans and Cash Collateralizing 101% of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations no later than ten (10) Business Days after the date on which financial statements are required to be delivered with respect to such fiscal quarter hereunder. Upon the effectiveness of such repayment and/or Cash Collateralization (i) the failure to comply with the financial covenant set forth in Article VIII that occurred (or would have occurred) shall be deemed cured for purposes of this Agreement and (ii) if prior to such time the Revolving Credit Lenders have declared all outstanding obligations under the Revolving Credit Facilities to be immediately due and payable solely as a result of such failure to comply with Article VIII, such declaration shall be deemed to be automatically rescinded at such time.

ARTICLE X
Administrative Agent and Other Agents
SECTION 10.01 Appointment and Authorization of Agents.
(a) Each Lender and each L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Administrative Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or participant, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to any Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.
(b) Each L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and each such L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Agents in this Article X with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and the applications and agreements for letters of credit pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Agent” as used in this Article X and in the definition of “Agent-Related Person” included such L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (ii) as additionally provided herein with respect to such L/C Issuer.
(c) The Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders (in its capacities as a Lender, Swing Line Lender (if applicable), L/C Issuer (if applicable) and a potential Hedge Bank and/or Cash Management Bank) hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of (and to hold any security interest created by the Collateral Documents for and on behalf of or on trust for) such Lender for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing (if then in effect, subject to the terms of any Intercreditor Agreement) any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Administrative Agent, as “collateral agent” (and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.02 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent), shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article X (including Section 10.07, as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full
706
herein with respect thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Lenders hereby expressly authorize the Agents to execute any and all documents (including releases) with respect to the Collateral and the rights of the Secured Parties with respect thereto, as contemplated by and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Collateral Documents and acknowledge and agree that any such action by any Agent shall bind the Lenders.
SECTION 10.02 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents or of exercising any rights and remedies thereunder) by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact including for the purpose of any Borrowing or payment in Alternative Currencies, such sub-agents as shall be deemed necessary by the Administrative Agent and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to any Agent-Related Person, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or sub-agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined in the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction).
SECTION 10.03 Liability of Agents.
(a) No Agent-Related Person shall (x) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein), (y) be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 11.01 or (z) be responsible in any manner to any Lender or participant for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by any Loan Party, any Guarantor or any officer thereof, contained herein or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest created or purported to be created under the Collateral Documents, or for any failure of any Loan Party or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder.
(b) No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender or participant to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof.
707
(c) No Agent-Related Person shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law.
(d) No Agent-Related Person shall, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any of the Borrower or any of their respective Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
(e) No Agent-Related Person shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing.
SECTION 10.04 Reliance by Agents.
(a) Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, communication, signature, resolution, representation, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, electronic mail message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to any Loan Party), independent accountants and other experts selected by such Agent. Each Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Each Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders (or such greater number of Lenders as may be expressly required hereby in any instance) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders.
(b) For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 4.01, each Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Closing Date specifying its objection thereto.
708
SECTION 10.05 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” The Administrative Agent will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to any Event of Default as may be directed by the Required Lenders in accordance with Article IX; provided 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.
SECTION 10.06 Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by Agents. 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 represents to each Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of an investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other regulatory Laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrower and the other Loan Parties hereunder. 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 Borrower 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 10.07 Indemnification of Agents. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall 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), pro rata, and hold harmless each Agent- Related Person from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by it; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting from such Agent-Related Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders (or such
709
other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be required by the Loan Documents) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 10.07. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Liabilities, this Section 10.07 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender or any other Person. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by the Administrative 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 is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower, provided that such reimbursement by the Lenders shall not affect the Borrower’s continuing reimbursement obligations with respect thereto. The undertaking in this Section 10.07 shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments, the payment of all other Obligations and the resignation of the Administrative Agent.
SECTION 10.08 Agents in their Individual Capacities. Bank of America and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire Equity Interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with each of the Loan Parties, the Guarantors and their respective Affiliates as though Bank of America were not the Administrative Agent or an L/C Issuer hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Bank of America or its Affiliates may receive information regarding any Loan Party, any Guarantor or any of their Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Loan Party, such Guarantor or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its Loans, Bank of America shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not the Administrative Agent or an L/C Issuer, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include Bank of America in its individual capacity.
SECTION 10.09 Successor Agents. The Administrative Agent may resign as the Administrative Agent upon at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent is in material breach of its obligations hereunder as Administrative Agent, then the Administrative Agent may be removed as the Administrative Agent at the request of the Required Lenders. If at any time, the Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent may be removed as the Administrative Agent hereunder by the Borrower upon fifteen (15) days’ notice to the Lenders. Such removal shall take effect upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent as provided below.
Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation or upon such removal, the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall be (a) a bank with an office in the United States or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States, and (b) consented to by the Borrower at all times other than during the existence of an Event of Default under Section 9.01(f) or (g) (which consent of the Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
710
If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, then the retiring Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and with the consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that the Borrower’s consent shall not be required during the existence of an Event of Default under Section 9.01(f) or (g)), a successor agent, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States, from among the Lenders.
Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, the Person acting as such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent (except for any indemnity payments or other amounts then owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent) and the term “Administrative Agent,” shall mean such successor administrative agent and/or supplemental administrative agent, as the case may be, and the retiring Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as the Administrative Agent shall be terminated. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article X and Sections 11.04 and 11.05 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent under this Agreement.
If no successor agent has accepted appointment as the Administrative Agent by the date which is thirty (30) Business Days following the retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security as nominee until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and the Required Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.
Upon the acceptance of any successor’s appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder and upon the execution and filing or recording of such financing statements, or amendments thereto, and such amendments or supplements to the Mortgages, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Required Lenders may request, in order to (a) continue the perfection of the Liens granted or purported to be granted by the Collateral Documents or (b) otherwise ensure that the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement is satisfied, such successor shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges, and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents.
The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article X shall continue in effect for its benefit, its sub-agents and their respective Agent-Related Persons in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative Agent.
711
Any resignation by Bank of America as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 10.09 shall also constitute its resignation as L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender, (ii) the retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (iii) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.
SECTION 10.10 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.03(h) and (i), 2.09 and 11.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

(C) the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire;
(D) the Assignee shall comply with Section 3.01(b) and (c) or Section 3.01(d) and (e), as applicable; and
(E) any assignment to Holdings, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or an Affiliated Lender shall also be subject to the requirements of Section 11.07(k).
This paragraph (b) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate Classes of Loans or Commitments on a non-pro rata basis.
(c) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 11.07(d), 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 Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, 11.04 and 11.05 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Upon request, and the surrender by the assigning Lender of its Note, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. In no event shall any assignment be effective if the assigning Lender is the payee of any Note and such Note is not assigned and delivered to the Assignee or surrendered to the Borrower unless, in the event such Note is lost, the assigning Lender affirms in writing to the Borrower that such Note is lost. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this clause (c) 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 11.07(e).
(d) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and related interest amounts) of the Loans, L/C Obligations (specifying the Unreimbursed Amounts), L/C Borrowings 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 Borrower, 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. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, any Agent and, with respect to its own Loans, any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
722
(e) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, a Person that the Administrative Agent has identified in a notice to the Lenders as a Defaulting Lender) (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 (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the 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 the other Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 11.01 that directly affects such Participant. Subject to Section 11.07(f), the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01 (and for the avoidance of doubt, shall have no direct rights against the Borrower) (subject to the requirements of Section 3.01(b) and (c) or Section 3.01(d), as applicable, as though it were a Lender), 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 11.07(c) . To the extent permitted by applicable Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.09 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender. If a Lender (or any of its registered assigns) sells a participation pursuant to this Section 11.07(e), the Lender (or its registered assign, as the case may be), acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest under this Agreement or any Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that such Lender (or its registered assign, as the case may be) shall have no obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender (or the registered assign, as the case may be) shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.
(f) An Assignee or 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 interest subject to the Assignment or the participation sold to such Participant at the time of the Assignment or sale of the participation, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 3.01 as though it were a Lender and deliver the forms required by Section 3.01 to such Participant’s participating Lender unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the prior written consent of the Borrower.
723
(g) 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 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.
(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained 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 Borrower (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) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Loan, (ii) 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 and (iii) such SPC and the applicable Loan or any applicable part thereof shall be appropriately reflected in the Participant Register. Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement (including its obligations under Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05), (ii) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender would be liable, and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Loan Document, remain the lender of record hereunder. Other than as expressly provided in this Section 11.07(h), (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 Borrower, 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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without prior consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and with the payment of a processing fee of $3,500 (which processing fee may be waived by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), assign all or any portion of its right to receive payment with respect to any Loan to the Granting Lender and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or Guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.
(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (1) any Lender may in accordance with applicable Law create a security interest in all or any portion of the Loans owing to it and the Note, if any, held by it and (2) 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
724
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 11.07, (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.
(j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender may, upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as a L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, respectively; provided that on or prior to the expiration of such 30-day period with respect to such resignation, the relevant L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender shall have identified, in consultation with the Borrower, a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender willing to accept its appointment as successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as applicable, and the effectiveness of such resignation shall be conditioned upon such successor assuming the rights and duties of the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as applicable. In the event of any such resignation of a L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders willing to accept such appointment a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of the relevant L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be. If a L/C Issuer resigns as a L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights and obligations of a L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as a L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c)) . If the Swing Line Lender resigns as the Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c) . Upon the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer and/or Swing Line Lender, (A) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, and (B) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.
(k) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (x) any Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of its Term Loans to Holdings, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or an Affiliated Lender and (y) so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, Holdings, the Borrower and any Subsidiary may, from time to time, purchase or prepay Term Loans, in each case, on a non-pro rata basis through (x) Dutch auction procedures open to all applicable Lenders on a pro rata basis in accordance with customary procedures to be agreed between Holdings or the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or other applicable agent managing such auction) or (y) open market purchases; provided that:
(i) any Term Loans acquired by Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary shall be retired and cancelled promptly upon the acquisition thereof;
725
(ii) such Term Loans are not acquired with the proceeds of a Borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility;
(iii) by its acquisition of Term Loans, an Affiliated Lender shall be deemed to have acknowledged and agreed that:
(A) it shall not have any right to (i) attend (including by telephone) any meeting or discussions (or portion thereof) among the Administrative Agent or any Lender to which representatives of the Borrower are not then present, (ii) receive any information or material prepared by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any communication by or among Administrative Agent and one or more Lenders, except to the extent such information or materials have been made available to the Borrower or its representatives (and in any case, other than the right to receive notices of prepayments and other administrative notices in respect of its Loans required to be delivered to Lenders pursuant to Article II), or (iii) make or bring (or participate in, other than as a passive participant in or recipient of its pro rata benefits of) any claim, in its capacity as a Lender, against Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Lender with respect to any duties or obligations or alleged duties or obligations of such Agent or any other such Lender under the Loan Documents;
(B) except with respect to any amendment, waiver, modification of any Loan Document or any plan of reorganization pursuant to the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, that in either case requires the consent of each Lender or each affected Lenders or that adversely affects such Affiliated Lender in any material respect as compared to other Lenders that are not Affiliated Lenders, Affiliated Lenders will be deemed to have voted in respect to its Loans in the same proportion as the Lenders that are not Affiliated Lenders voting on such matter; and
(C) if a case under Title 11 of the United States Code is commenced against any Credit Party, such Credit Party shall seek (and each Affiliated Lender shall consent) to provide that the vote of any Affiliated Lender (in its capacity as a Lender) with respect to any plan of reorganization of such Credit Party shall not be counted except that such Affiliated Lender’s vote (in its capacity as a Lender) may be counted to the extent any such plan of reorganization proposes to treat the Obligations held by such Affiliated Lender in a manner that is less favorable to such Affiliated Lender than the proposed treatment of similar Obligations held by Lenders that are not Affiliates of the Borrower; each Affiliated Lender hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent (such appointment being coupled with an interest) as such Affiliated Lender’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Affiliated Lender and in the name of such Affiliated Lender (solely in respect of Loans and participations therein and not in respect of any other claim or status such Affiliated Lender may otherwise have), from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument that the Administrative Agent may deem reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of this clause (C);
726
(iv) the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans held at any one time by Affiliated Lenders may not exceed 25% of the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans outstanding at such time under this Agreement;
(v) any such Term Loans acquired by an Affiliated Lender may, with the consent of the Borrower, be contributed to the Borrower and exchanged for debt or equity securities that are otherwise permitted to be issued at such time and any such Term Loans contributed to the Borrower shall be retired and cancelled promptly;
(vi) Affiliated Lenders will be required to identify themselves as such to the respective assignor or seller in the relevant assignment documentation; and
(vii) as a condition to each assignment pursuant to this subsection (k), the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall have been provided a notice from the respective assignee or purchaser in the form of Exhibit E-2 to this Agreement in connection with each assignment to an Affiliated Lender or a Person that upon effectiveness of such assignment would constitute an Affiliated Lender, pursuant to which such assignee or purchaser shall waive any right to bring any action in connection with such Term Loans against the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as such.
For avoidance of doubt, the foregoing limitations shall not be applicable to Debt Fund Affiliates; provided that for any “Required Lender” vote, Debt Fund Affiliates may not, in the aggregate, account for more than 49.99% of the amounts included in determining whether the “Required Lenders” have consented to any amendment, waiver or other action pursuant to Section 11.01.
SECTION 11.08 Confidentiality. Each of the Agents, the Lenders, the Joint Lead Arrangers and the Joint Bookrunners agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information and to not use or disclose such information, except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees, trustees, investment advisors and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential); (b) to the extent requested by any Governmental Authority or any self-regulatory authority; (c) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (d) to any other party to this Agreement; (e) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 11.08 (or as may otherwise be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower), to any pledgee referred to in Section 11.07(g), counterparty to a Swap Contract, Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement; (f) with the written consent of the Borrower; (g) to the extent such Information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 11.08; (h) to any Governmental Authority or examiner (including the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any other similar organization) regulating any Lender or its Affiliates; (i) to any rating agency when required by it (it being understood that, prior to any such disclosure, such rating agency shall
727
undertake to preserve the confidentiality of any Information relating to the Loan Parties received by it from such Lender); or (j) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder. For the purposes of this Section 11.08, “Information” means all information received from any Loan Party or its Affiliates or its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees, trustees, investment advisors or agents, relating to Holdings, the Borrower or any of their subsidiaries or its business, other than any such information that is publicly available to any Agent or any Lender prior to disclosure by any Loan Party other than as a result of a breach of this Section 11.08; provided that, in the case of information received from a Loan Party after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential or (ii) is delivered pursuant to Section 6.01, 6.02 or 6.03 hereof. Each of the Agents, the Lenders, the Joint Lead Arrangers and the Joint Bookrunners acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning the Borrower or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law, including United States Federal and state securities Laws.

In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender and its Affiliates and each L/C Issuer and its Affiliates is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Borrower or any other Loan Party, any such notice being waived by the Borrower (on its own behalf and on behalf of each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other Indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender and its Affiliates or such L/C Issuer and its Affiliates, as the case may be, to or for the credit or the account of the respective Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries against any and all Obligations owing to such Lender and its Affiliates or such L/C Issuer and its Affiliates hereunder or under any other Loan Document, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not such Agent or such Lender or Affiliate shall have made demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable deposit or Indebtedness. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Lender or its Affiliates and no L/C Issuer or its Affiliates shall have a right to set off and apply any deposits held or other Indebtedness owing by such Lender or its Affiliates or such L/C Issuer or its Affiliates, as the case may be, to or for the credit or the account of any Subsidiary of a Loan Party which is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code unless such Subsidiary is not a direct or indirect subsidiary of Holdings. Each Lender and L/C Issuer agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set off and application made by such Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each L/C Issuer under this Section 11.09 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that the Administrative Agent, such Lender and such L/C Issuer may have.
728
SECTION 11.10 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained 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 Borrower. 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 11.11 Counterparts. This Agreement and each other Loan Document may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery by telecopier of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement and each other Loan Document shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement and such other Loan Document. The Agents may also require that any such documents and signatures delivered by telecopier 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.

This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on such subject matter. 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.
SECTION 11.13 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by each Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by any Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that any Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding (unless the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations related thereto has been Cash Collateralized).
SECTION 11.14 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby.

(c) The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver any instruments, documents, and agreements necessary or desirable to evidence and confirm the release of any Guarantor or Collateral pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.15, all without the further consent or joinder of any Lender.
SECTION 11.16 GOVERNING LAW.

SCHEDULE 1.01D
Mandatory Cost Formulae
1. The Mandatory Cost is an addition to the interest rate to compensate Lenders for the cost of compliance with (a) the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority (or, in either case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) or (b) the requirements of the European Central Bank.
2. On the first day of each Interest Period (or as soon as possible thereafter) the Administrative Agent shall calculate, as a percentage rate, a rate (the “Additional Cost Rate”) for each Lender, in accordance with the paragraphs set out below. The Mandatory Cost will be calculated by the Administrative Agent as a weighted average of the Lenders’ Additional Cost Rates (weighted in proportion to the percentage participation of each Lender in the relevant Loan) and will be expressed as a percentage rate per annum.
3. The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Facility Office in a Participating Member State will be the percentage notified by that Lender to the Administrative Agent. This percentage will be certified by that Lender in its notice to the Administrative Agent to be its reasonable determination of the cost (expressed as a percentage of that Lender’s participation in all Loans made from that Facility Office) of complying with the minimum reserve requirements of the European Central Bank in respect of loans made from that Facility Office.
4. The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Facility Office in the United Kingdom will be calculated by the Administrative Agent as follows:
| (a) | in relation to a sterling Loan: |
| AB + C(B – D) + E × 0.01 | percent per annum | |
| 100 – (A + C) |
| (b) | in relation to a Loan in any currency other than sterling: |
| E × 0.01 | percent per annum. | |
| 300 |
Where:
| A | is the percentage of Eligible Liabilities (assuming these to be in excess of any stated minimum) which that Lender is from time to time required to maintain as an interest free cash ratio deposit with the Bank of England to comply with cash ratio requirements. |
| B | is the percentage rate of interest (excluding the Applicable Rate and the Mandatory Cost and, if the Loan is an Unpaid Sum, the additional rate of interest specified in paragraph (b) of Section 2.08) payable for the relevant Interest Period on the Loan. |
| C | is the percentage (if any) of Eligible Liabilities which that Lender is required from time to time to maintain as interest bearing Special Deposits with the Bank of England. |
| D | is the percentage rate per annum payable by the Bank of England to the Administrative Agent on interest bearing Special Deposits. |
| E | is designed to compensate Lenders for amounts payable under the Fees Rules and is calculated by the Administrative Agent as being the average of the most recent rates of charge supplied by the Reference Banks to the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph 7 below and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000. |
5. For the purposes of this Schedule:
| (a) | “Eligible Liabilities” and “Special Deposits” have the meanings given to them from time to time under or pursuant to the Bank of England Act 1998 or (as may be appropriate) by the Bank of England; |
| (b) | “Facility Office” means the office or offices notified by a Lender to the Administrative Agent in writing on or before the date that it becomes a Lender (or, following that date, by not less than five Business days’ written notice) as the office or offices through which it will perform its obligations under the Agreement. |
| (c) | “Fees Rules” means the rules on periodic fees contained in the FSA Supervision Manual or such other law or regulation as may be in force from time to time in respect of the payment of fees for the acceptance of deposits; |
| (d) | “Fee Tariffs” means the fee tariffs specified in the Fees Rules under the activity group A.1 Deposit acceptors (ignoring any minimum fee or zero rated fee required pursuant to the Fees Rules but taking into account any applicable discount rate); and |
| (e) | “Participating Member State” means any member state of the European Communities that adopts or has adopted the Euro as its lawful currency in accordance with legislation of the European Community relating to Economic and Monetary Union. |
| (f) | “Reference Banks” means such banks or other financial institutions the Administrative Agent may select from time to time. |
| (g) | “Tariff Base” has the meaning given to it in, and will be calculated in accordance with, the Fees Rules. |
6. In application of the above formulae, A, B, C and D will be included in the formulae as percentages (i.e. 5 percent will be included in the formula as 5 and not as 0.05). A negative result obtained by subtracting D from B shall be taken as zero. The resulting figures shall be rounded to four decimal places.
7. If requested by the Administrative Agent, each Reference Bank shall, as soon as practicable after publication by the Financial Services Authority, supply to the Administrative Agent, the rate of charge payable by that Reference Bank to the Financial Services Authority pursuant to the Fees Rules in respect of the relevant financial year of the Financial Services Authority (calculated for this purpose by that Reference Bank as being the average of the Fee Tariffs applicable to that Reference Bank for that financial year) and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000 of the Tariff Base of that Reference Bank.
8. Each Lender shall supply any information required by the Administrative Agent for the purpose of calculating its Additional Cost Rate. In particular, but without limitation, each Lender shall supply the following information on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender:
| (h) | the jurisdiction of its Facility Office; and |
| (i) | any other information that the Administrative Agent may reasonably require for such purpose. |
Each Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any change to the information provided by it pursuant to this paragraph.
9. The percentages of each Lender for the purpose of A and C above and the rates of charge of each Reference Bank for the purpose of E above shall be determined by the Administrative Agent based upon the information supplied to it pursuant to paragraphs 7 and 8 above and on the assumption that, unless a Lender notifies the Administrative Agent to the contrary, each Lender’s obligations in relation to cash ratio deposits and Special Deposits are the same as those of a typical bank from its jurisdiction of incorporation with a Facility Office in the same jurisdiction as its Facility Office.
10. The Administrative Agent shall have no liability to any person if such determination results in an Additional Cost Rate which over or under compensates any Lender and shall be entitled to assume that the information provided by any Lender or Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and 8 above is true and correct in all respects.
11. The Administrative Agent shall distribute the additional amounts received as a result of the Mandatory Cost to the Lenders on the basis of the Additional Cost Rate for each Lender based on the information provided by each Lender and each Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and 8 above.
12. Any determination by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Schedule in relation to a formula, the Mandatory Cost, an Additional Cost Rate or any amount payable to a Lender shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all Parties.
13. The Administrative Agent may from time to time, after consultation with the Borrower and the Lenders, determine and notify to all Parties any amendments which are required to be made to this Schedule in order to comply with any change in law, regulation or any requirements from time to time imposed by the Bank of England, the Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank (or, in any case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) and any such determination shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all Parties.

Each Guarantor expressly authorizes the Secured Parties to take and hold security for the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations, to exchange, waive or release any or all such security (with or without consideration), to enforce or apply such security and direct the order and manner of any sale thereof in their sole discretion or to release or substitute any one or more other guarantors or obligors upon or in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, all in accordance with the Security Agreement and other Loan Documents and all without affecting the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder.
(b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any Guaranty Party or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any Guaranty Party, other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Guaranteed Obligations. The Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties may, in accordance with the terms of the Collateral Documents and at their election, foreclose on any security held by one or more of them by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such security in lieu of foreclosure, compromise or adjust any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, make any other accommodation with any Guaranty Party or exercise any other right or remedy available to them against any Guaranty Party, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Guaranteed Obligations have been fully and indefeasibly paid in full in cash. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though such election operates, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Guarantor against any Guaranty Party, as the case may be, or any security.

SECTION 2.04. Reinstatement. Each of the Guarantors agrees that its guaranty hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Guaranteed Obligation, is rescinded, invalidated or must otherwise be restored by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of any Guaranty Party or otherwise.
SECTION 2.05. Agreement To Pay; Subrogation. In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right that the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party has at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of any Guaranty Party to pay any Guaranteed Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, each Guarantor hereby promises to and will forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the Secured Parties in cash the amount of such unpaid Guaranteed Obligation. Upon payment by any Guarantor of any sums to the Administrative Agent as provided above, all rights of such Guarantor against any Guaranty Party arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be subject to Article III herein.
SECTION 2.06. Information. Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of each Guaranty Party’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations, and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that none of the Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties will have any duty to advise such Guarantor of information known to it or any of them regarding such circumstances or risks.
SECTION 2.07. Keepwell. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Guarantor to honor all of its obligations under this Agreement in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 2.07 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 2.07, or otherwise under this Agreement, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 2.07 shall remain in full force and effect until the termination of this Agreement and the Guaranties made hereunder pursuant to Section 4.12. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 2.07 constitute, and this Section 2.07 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

ARTICLE III
INDEMNITY, SUBROGATION AND SUBORDINATION
SECTION 3.01. Indemnity and Subrogation. In addition to all such rights of indemnity and subrogation as the Guarantors may have under applicable law (but subject to Section 3.03), the Borrower agrees that in the event a payment of an obligation shall be made by any Guarantor under this Agreement, the Borrower shall indemnify such Guarantor for the full amount of such payment and such Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the Person to whom such payment shall have been made to the extent of such payment.
SECTION 3.02. Contribution and Subrogation. Each Guarantor (a “Contributing Party”) agrees (subject to Section 3.03) that, in the event a payment shall be made by any other Guarantor hereunder in respect of any Guaranteed Obligation and such other Guarantor (the “Claiming Party”) shall not have been fully indemnified by the Borrower as provided in Section 3.01, the Contributing Party shall indemnify the Claiming Party in an amount equal to the amount of such payment, in each case multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the net worth of the Contributing Party on the date hereof and the denominator shall be the aggregate net worth of all the Contributing Parties together with the net worth of the Claiming Party on the date hereof (or, in the case of any Guarantor becoming a party hereto pursuant to Section 4.13, the date of the Guaranty Supplement hereto executed and delivered by such Guarantor). Any Contributing Party making any payment to a Claiming Party pursuant to this Section 3.02 shall be subrogated to the rights of such Claiming Party to the extent of such payment. Each Guarantor recognizes and acknowledges that the rights to contribution arising hereunder shall constitute an asset in favor of the party entitled to such contribution. In this connection, each Guarantor has the right to waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, its contribution right against any other Guarantor to the extent that after giving effect to such waiver such Guarantor would remain solvent, in the determination of the Lenders.
SECTION 3.03. Subordination. (a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, all rights of the Guarantors under Sections 3.01 and 3.02 and all other rights of indemnity, contribution or subrogation under applicable law or otherwise shall be fully subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations; provided that if any amount shall be paid to such Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time prior to the irrevocable payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in connection with Section 9.03 of the Credit Agreement. No failure on the part of the Borrower or any Guarantor to make the payments required by Sections 3.01 and 3.02 (or any other payments required under applicable law or otherwise) shall in any respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor with respect to its obligations hereunder, and each Guarantor shall remain liable for the full amount of the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder.

ARTICLE IV
MISCELLANEOUS
SECTION 4.01. Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein) be in writing and given as provided in Section 11.02 of the Credit Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to any Guarantor shall be given to it in care of the Borrower as provided in Section 11.02 of the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 4.02. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any Guaranty Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 4.02, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. No notice or demand on any Guaranty Party in any case shall entitle any Guaranty Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and the Guaranty Party or Guaranty Parties with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, subject to any consent required in accordance with Section 11.01 of the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 4.03. Administrative Agent’s Fees and Expenses, Indemnification. (a) The parties hereto agree that the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to reimbursement of its expenses incurred hereunder as provided in Section 11.04 of the Credit Agreement.
(b) Without limitation of its indemnification obligations under the other Loan Documents, the Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and the other Indemnitees (as defined in Section 11.05 of the Credit Agreement) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing agreements or instruments contemplated hereby, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such
7
indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such Indemnitee or Related Indemnified Person of such Indemnitee.
(c) Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional Guaranteed Obligations secured hereby and by the other Collateral Documents. The provisions of this Section 4.03 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party. All amounts due under this Section 4.03 shall be payable within 10 days of written demand therefor.
SECTION 4.04. Survival of Agreement. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Guaranteed Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding (unless the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations related thereto has been Cash Collateralized).
SECTION 4.05. Counterparts; Effectiveness; Successors and Assigns; Several Agreement. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute a one and the same instrument. Delivery by facsimile transmission or other electronic communication of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. The Agents may also require that any such documents and signatures delivered by facsimile transmission or other electronic communication 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 facsimile transmission or other electronic communication. This Agreement shall become effective as to any Guaranty Party when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of such Guaranty Party shall have been delivered to the Administrative Agent and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Administrative Agent, and thereafter shall be binding upon such Guaranty Party and the Administrative Agent and their respective successors and assigns permitted thereby, and shall inure to the benefit of such Guaranty Party, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns permitted thereby, except that no Guaranty Party shall have the right to assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein (and any such assignment or transfer shall be void) except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. This Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each Guaranty Party and
8
may be amended, restated, modified, supplemented, waived or released with respect to any Guaranty Party without the approval of any other Guaranty Party and without affecting the obligations of any other Guaranty Party hereunder.
SECTION 4.06. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
SECTION 4.07. Right of Set-Off. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender and its Affiliates and each L/C Issuer and its Affiliates is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to any Guarantor, any such notice being waived by the Borrower (on its own behalf and on behalf of each Guarantor and its Subsidiaries) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other Indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender and its Affiliates or such L/C Issuer and its Affiliates, as the case may be, to or for the credit or the account of the respective Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries against any and all Guaranteed Obligations owing to such Lender and its Affiliates or such L/C Issuer and its Affiliates hereunder or under any other Loan Document, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not such Agent or such Lender or Affiliate shall have made demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Guaranteed Obligations may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable deposit or Indebtedness. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Lender or its Affiliates and no L/C Issuer or its Affiliates shall have a right to set off and apply any deposits held or other Indebtedness owing by such Lender or its Affiliates or such L/C Issuer or its Affiliates, as the case may be, to or for the credit or the account of any Subsidiary of a Loan Party which is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code unless such Subsidiary is not a direct or indirect subsidiary of Holdings. Each Lender and L/C Issuer agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set off and application made by such Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set off and application. The rights of the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each L/C Issuer under this Section 4.07 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set off) that the Administrative Agent, such Lender and such L/C Issuer may have.
SECTION 4.08. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
(b) ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, MAY BE BROUGHT IN XXX XXXXXX XX XXX XXXXX XX XXX XXXX SITTING IN XXX XXXX XXXX XX XX XXX

SECTION 4.11. Guaranty Absolute. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, all rights of the Administrative Agent hereunder and all obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, any agreement with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing, (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any other agreement or instrument, (c) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Lien on other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent under or departure from any guaranty securing or guaranteeing all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or (d) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Guarantor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations or this Agreement.
10
SECTION 4.12. Termination or Release. (a) This Agreement and the Guaranties made herein shall terminate with respect to all Guaranteed Obligations when all the outstanding Guaranteed Obligations (other than (x) obligations under Secured Hedge Agreements not yet due and payable, (y) Cash Management Obligations not yet due and payable and (z) contingent indemnification obligations not yet accrued and payable) have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Lenders have no further commitment to lend under the Credit Agreement, the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations have been either reduced to zero or Cash Collateralized and the L/C Issuers have no further obligations to issue Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement.
(b) A Guarantor shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder upon the consummation of any transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement as a result of which such Guarantor ceases to be a Subsidiary or is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary of Borrower pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement; provided that the Lenders shall have consented to such transaction (to the extent required by the Credit Agreement) and the terms of such consent did not provide otherwise.
(c) A Guarantor (other than Holdings) shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder if such Guarantor ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement.
(d) In connection with any termination or release pursuant to paragraph (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 4.12, the Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to any Guarantor, at such Guarantor’s expense, all documents that such Guarantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 4.12 shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent.
(e) At any time that the Borrower desires that the Administrative Agent take any of the actions described in immediately preceding paragraph (d), it shall, upon request of the Administrative Agent, deliver to the Administrative Agent an officer’s certificate certifying that the release of the respective Guarantor is permitted pursuant to paragraph (a), (b) or (c). The Administrative Agent shall have no liability whatsoever to any Guarantor as a result of any release of any Guarantor by it as permitted (or which the Administrative Agent in good faith believes to be permitted) by this Section 4.12.
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, each Cash Management Bank and each Hedge Bank, by the acceptance of the benefits under this Agreement hereby acknowledge and agree that (i) the obligations of the Borrower or any Subsidiary under any Secured Hedge Agreement and the Cash Management Obligations (in each case, other than any Excluded Swap Obligation) shall be guaranteed pursuant to this Agreement only to the extent that, and for so long as, the other Guaranteed Obligations are so guaranteed and (ii) any release of a Guarantor effected in the manner permitted by this Agreement shall not require the consent of any Hedge Bank or Cash Management Bank.

The execution and delivery of any such instrument shall not require the consent of any other Guaranty Party hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Guaranty Party hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Guaranty Party as a party to this Agreement.
SECTION 4.14. Limitation on Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor and each Secured Party (by its acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement) hereby confirms that it is its intention that this Agreement not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of any Debtor Relief Laws (including the Bankruptcy Code, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or any similar Federal or state law). To effectuate the foregoing intention, each Guarantor and each Secured Party (by its acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement) hereby irrevocably agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations owing by such Guarantor under this Agreement shall be limited to such amount as will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other (contingent or otherwise) liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such Debtor Relief Laws and after giving effect to any rights to contribution and/or subrogation pursuant to any agreement providing for an equitable contribution and/or subrogation among such Guarantor and the other Guarantors, result in the Guaranteed Obligations of such Guarantor in respect of such maximum amount not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

A. Reference is made to (i) the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of February 19, 2013 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among SABRE INC. (the “Borrower”), Holdings, BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer, DEUTSCHE BANK AG NEW YORK BRANCH, as an L/C Issuer and each lender from time to time party thereto (collectively, the “Lenders” and individually, a “Lender”), (ii) the Amended and Restated Guaranty dated as of February 19, 2013 among Holdings, certain Subsidiaries of the Borrower from time to time party thereto and BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., as Administrative Agent (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Guaranty”), (iii) each Secured Hedge Agreement (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and (iv) the Cash Management Obligations (as defined in the Credit Agreement).
B. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement.
C. The Guarantors have entered into the Guaranty in order to induce (x) the Lenders to make Loans and the L/C Issuers to issue Letters of Credit, (y) the Hedge Banks to enter into and/or maintain Secured Hedge Agreements and (z) the Cash Management Banks to provide Cash Management Services. Section 4.13 of the Guaranty provides that additional Restricted Subsidiaries of the Borrower that are not Excluded Subsidiaries may become Guarantors under the Guaranty by execution and delivery of an instrument in the form of this Supplement. The undersigned Restricted Subsidiary (the “New Subsidiary”) is executing this Supplement in accordance with the requirements of the Credit Agreement to become a Guarantor under the Guaranty in order to induce (x) the Lenders to make additional Loans and the L/C Issuers to issue additional Letters of Credit, (y) the Hedge Banks to enter into and/or maintain Secured Hedge Agreements and (z) the Cash Management Banks to provide Cash Management Services and as consideration for (x) Loans previously made and Letters of Credit previously issued, (y) Secured Hedge Agreements previously entered into and/or maintained and (z) Cash Management Services previously provided.
Accordingly, the Administrative Agent and the New Subsidiary agree as follows:
SECTION 1. In accordance with Section 4.13 of the Guaranty, the New Subsidiary by its signature below becomes a Guarantor under the Guaranty with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a Guarantor and the New Subsidiary hereby (a) agrees to all the terms and provisions of the Guaranty applicable to it as a Guarantor and Guarantor thereunder and (b) represents and warrants that the representations and warranties made by it as a Guarantor thereunder are true and correct on and as of the date hereof. In furtherance of the foregoing, the New Subsidiary, as security for the payment and performance in full of the Guaranteed Obligations does hereby, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, their
EXHIBIT I

successors and assigns, irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally guaranty, jointly with the other Guarantors and severally, the due and punctual payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each reference to a “Guarantor” in the Guaranty shall be deemed to include the New Subsidiary. The Guaranty is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
SECTION 2. The New Subsidiary represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties that this Supplement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by Debtor Relief Laws and by general principles of equity.
SECTION 3. This Supplement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Supplement shall become effective when the Administrative Agent shall have received a counterpart of this Supplement that bears the signature of the New Subsidiary, and the Administrative Agent has executed a counterpart hereof. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Supplement by facsimile transmission or other electronic communication shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Supplement.
SECTION 4. Except as expressly supplemented hereby, the Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect.
SECTION 5. THIS SUPPLEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
SECTION 6. If any provision contained in this Supplement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the legality, validity, and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and in the Guaranty shall not be affected or impaired thereby. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
SECTION 7. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in Section 4.01 of the Guaranty.
SECTION 8. The New Subsidiary agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the execution and delivery of this Supplement, including the reasonable fees, other charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent.

(i) Each Grantor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and/or other consensual rights and powers inuring to an owner of Pledged Securities or any part thereof for any purpose consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that such rights and powers shall not be exercised in any manner, except as may be expressly permitted under this Agreement, the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents, that would materially and adversely affect the rights inuring to a holder of any Pledged Securities or the rights and remedies of any of the Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties under this Agreement, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or the ability of the Secured Parties to exercise the same.
(ii) The Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to each Grantor, or cause to be executed and delivered to each Grantor, all such proxies, powers of attorney and other instruments as each Grantor may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling such Grantor to exercise the voting and/or consensual rights and powers it is entitled to exercise pursuant to subparagraph (i) above.

After all Events of Default have been cured or waived, the Administrative Agent shall promptly repay to each Grantor (without interest) all dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that such Grantor would otherwise be permitted to retain pursuant to the terms of paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section 2.06 and that remain in such account.
(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, after the Administrative Agent shall have notified the Borrower of the suspension of the rights of the Grantors under paragraph (a)(i) of this Section 2.06, then all rights of any Grantor to exercise the voting and consensual rights and powers it is entitled to exercise pursuant to paragraph (a)(i) of this Section 2.06, and the obligations of the Administrative Agent under paragraph (a)(ii) of this Section 2.06, shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Administrative Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to exercise such voting and consensual rights and powers; provided that, unless otherwise directed by the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall have the right from time to time following and during the continuance of an Event of Default to permit the Grantors to exercise such rights at the discretion of the Administrative Agent. After all Events of Default have been cured or waived, each Grantor shall have the exclusive right to exercise the voting and/or consensual rights and powers that such Grantor would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to the terms of paragraph (a)(i) of this Section 2.06.
(d) Any notice given by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower suspending the rights of the Grantors under paragraph (a) of this Section 2.06 (i) shall be given in writing, (ii) may be given with respect to one or more of the Grantors at the same or different times and (iii) may suspend the rights of the Grantors under paragraph (a)(i) or paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section 2.06 in part without suspending all such rights (as specified by the Administrative Agent in its sole and absolute discretion) and without waiving or otherwise affecting the Administrative Agent’s rights to give additional notices from time to time suspending other rights so long as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
SECTION 2.07. Administrative Agent Not a Partner or Limited Liability Company Member. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to make the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party liable as a member of any limited liability company or as a partner of any partnership and neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party by virtue of this Agreement or otherwise (except as referred to in the following sentence) shall have any of the duties, obligations or liabilities of a member of any limited liability company or as a partner in any partnership. The parties hereto expressly agree that, unless the Administrative Agent shall become the absolute owner of Pledged Equity consisting of a limited liability company interest or a partnership interest pursuant hereto or to any other Loan Document, this Agreement shall not be construed as creating a partnership or joint venture among the Administrative Agent, any other Secured Party, any Grantor and/or any other Person.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Loan Documents, none of the Grantors shall be required to enter into any deposit account control agreement or securities account control agreement with respect to any deposit account or securities account.
SECTION 3.02. Representations and Warranties. Holdings and the Borrower jointly and severally represent and warrant, as to themselves and the other Grantors, to the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties that:
(a) Each Grantor has good and valid rights in and title to the material Article 9 Collateral with respect to which it has purported to grant a Security Interest hereunder and has full power and authority to grant to the Administrative Agent the Security Interest in such Article 9 Collateral pursuant hereto and to execute, deliver and perform its obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without the consent or approval of any other Person other than any consent or approval that has been obtained.
(b) The information set forth in the Perfection Certificate, including the exact legal name of each Grantor, is correct and complete in all material respects as of the Closing Date. The Uniform Commercial Code financing statements (including fixture filings, as applicable) or other appropriate filings, recordings or registrations prepared by the Administrative Agent based upon the information provided to the Administrative Agent in the Perfection Certificate for filing in each governmental, municipal or other office specified in Schedule 6 to the Perfection Certificate (or specified by notice from the Borrower to the Administrative Agent after the Closing Date in the case of filings, recordings or registrations (other than filings required to be made in the USPTO and the USCO in order to perfect the Security Interest in Article 0 Xxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxx xx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights) required by Section 6.11 of the Credit Agreement), are all the filings, recordings and registrations that are necessary to establish a legal, valid and perfected security interest in favor of the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) in respect of all Article 9 Collateral in which the Security Interest may be perfected by filing, recording or registration in the United States (or any political subdivision thereof) and its territories and possessions, and no further or subsequent filing, refiling, recording, rerecording, registration or reregistration is necessary in any such jurisdiction, except as provided under applicable law with respect to the filing of continuation statements.
(c) Each Grantor represents and warrants that short-form Intellectual Property Security Agreements containing a description of all Article 9 Collateral consisting of United States Patents, United States registered Trademarks (and Trademarks for which United States registration applications are pending, unless it constitutes an Excluded Asset) and United States registered
12
Copyrights, respectively, have been delivered to the Administrative Agent for recording by the USPTO and the USCO pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 261, 15 U.S.C. § 1060 or 17 U.S.C. § 205 and the regulations thereunder, as applicable, as may be necessary to establish a valid and perfected security interest in favor of the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) in respect of all Article 9 Collateral consisting of Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights in which a security interest may be perfected by filing, recording or registration in the United States (or any political subdivision thereof) and its territories and possessions under the Federal intellectual property laws, and no further or subsequent filing, refiling, recording, rerecording, registration or reregistration is necessary (other than (i) such filings and actions as are necessary to perfect the Security Interest with respect to any Article 9 Collateral consisting of Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights (or registration or application for registration thereof) acquired or developed by any Grantor after the date hereof, (ii) as may be required under the laws of jurisdictions outside the United States with respect to Article 9 Collateral created under such laws, and (iii) the UCC financing and continuation statements contemplated in Section 3.02(b)).
(d) The Security Interest constitutes (i) a legal and valid security interest in all the Article 9 Collateral securing the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations; (ii) subject to the filings described in Section 3.02(b), a perfected security interest in all Article 9 Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected by filing, recording or registering a financing statement or analogous document in the United States (or any political subdivision thereof) and its territories and possessions pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code in the relevant jurisdiction and (iii) subject to the filings described in Section 3.02(c), a perfected security interest in all Intellectual Property in which a security interest may be perfected upon the receipt and recording of fully executed short-form Intellectual Property Security Agreements with the USPTO and the USCO, as applicable. The Security Interest is and shall be prior to any other Lien on any of the Article 9 Collateral, other than (i) any nonconsensual Lien that is expressly permitted pursuant to Section 7.01 of the Credit Agreement and has priority as a matter of law and (ii) Liens expressly permitted pursuant to Section 7.01 of the Credit Agreement.
(e) The material Article 9 Collateral is owned by the Grantors free and clear of any Lien, except for Liens permitted pursuant to Section 7.01 of the Credit Agreement. None of the Grantors has filed or consented to the filing of (i) any financing statement or analogous document under the New York UCC or any other applicable United States laws covering any Article 9 Collateral, (ii) any assignment in which any Grantor assigns any Article 9 Collateral or any security agreement or similar instrument covering any Article 9 Collateral with the USPTO or the USCO or (iii) any assignment in which any Grantor assigns any Article 9 Collateral or any security agreement or similar instrument covering any Article 9 Collateral with any foreign governmental, municipal or other office, which financing statement or analogous document, assignment, security agreement or similar instrument is still in effect, except, in each case, for Liens permitted pursuant to Section 7.01 of the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 3.03. Covenants. (a)The Borrower agrees promptly (and in any event within 60 days of such change) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any change in (i) the legal name, (ii) the identity or type of organization or corporate structure, (iii) the jurisdiction of organization, (iv) the chief executive office or (v) the organizational identification number, of any Grantor. In addition, if any Grantor does not have an organizational identification number on the Closing Date (or the date such Grantor becomes a party to this Agreement) and later obtains one, the Borrower shall promptly (and in any event within 60 days of such change) thereafter notify the Administrative Agent of such organizational identification number and shall take all actions reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to the extent necessary to maintain the security interests (and the priority thereof) of the Administrative Agent in the Article 9 Collateral intended to be granted hereby fully perfected and in full force and effect.
13
(b) Upon becoming aware of any defect in the security interests (and the priority thereof, except as expressly permitted pursuant to Section 7.01 of the Credit Agreement) of the Administrative Agent in the Article 9 Collateral intended to be granted hereby, the Borrower agrees promptly (and in any event within 60 days of such knowledge) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing of such defect.
(c) Each year, at the time of delivery of annual financial statements with respect to the preceding fiscal year pursuant to Section 6.01 of the Credit Agreement, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an updated Perfection Certificate executed by the chief financial officer or the chief legal officer of each of Holdings and the Borrower, setting forth any information required therein that has changed or confirming that there has been no change in such information since the date of such certificate or the date of the most recent certificate delivered pursuant to this Section 3.03(c) and certifying that all UCC financing statements, Intellectual Property Security Agreements and other appropriate filings, recordings or registrations have been filed of record in each governmental, municipal or other appropriate office in each jurisdiction necessary to protect and perfect the Security Interests and Liens in the United States under this Agreement.
(d) The Borrower agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of each other Grantor, at its own expense, to execute, acknowledge, deliver and cause to be duly filed all such further instruments and documents and take all such actions as the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably request to better assure, preserve, protect and perfect the Security Interest and the rights and remedies created hereby, including the payment of any fees and taxes required in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the granting of the Security Interest and the filing of any financing statements (including fixture filings) or other documents in connection herewith or therewith.
(e) At its option, the Administrative Agent may discharge past due taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on the Article 9 Collateral and not permitted pursuant to Section 7.01 of the Credit Agreement, and may pay for the maintenance and preservation of the Article 9 Collateral to the extent any Grantor fails to do so as required by the Credit Agreement or this Agreement and within a reasonable period of time after the Administrative Agent has requested that it do so, and each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent within 10 Business Days after demand for any payment made or any reasonable expense incurred by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the foregoing authorization; provided, however, Grantors shall not be obligated to reimburse the Administrative Agent with respect to any Article 9 Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property which any Grantor has failed to maintain or pursue, or otherwise allowed to lapse, terminate or be put into the public domain, in accordance with Section 3.03(i)(ix). Nothing in this paragraph shall be interpreted as excusing any Grantor from the performance of, or imposing any obligation on the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party to cure or perform, any covenants or other promises of any Grantor with respect to taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances and maintenance as set forth herein, in the other Loan Documents.
(f) If at any time any Grantor shall take a security interest in any property of an Account Debtor or any other Person, the value of which is in excess of $10,000,000, to secure payment and performance of an Account, such Grantor shall promptly assign such security interest to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Such assignment need not be filed of public record unless necessary to continue the perfected status of the security interest against creditors of and transferees from the Account Debtor or other Person granting the security interest.
(g) Each Grantor (rather than the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party) shall remain liable (as between itself and any relevant counterparty) to observe and perform all the conditions
14
and obligations to be observed and performed by it under each contract, agreement or instrument relating to the Article 9 Collateral, all in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof, and each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties from and against any and all liability for such performance.
(h) If any Grantor shall at any time hold or acquire a Commercial Tort Claim with a value in excess of $10,000,000 and for which such Grantor (or predecessor in interest) has filed a complaint in a court of competent jurisdiction, such Grantor shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent in writing signed by such Grantor of the brief details thereof and grant to the Administrative Agent a security interest therein and in the Proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement pursuant to a document in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(i) Intellectual Property Covenants, Representations and Warranties:
(i) Other than to the extent permitted herein or in the Credit Agreement or with respect to registration and applications no longer used, and except to the extent failure to act would not, as deemed by the Borrower in its reasonable business judgment, be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, with respect to registration or pending application of each item of its Article 9 Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property for which such Grantor has standing to do so, each Grantor agrees to take, at its expense, all reasonable steps, including, without limitation, in the USPTO, the USCO and any other governmental authority located in the United States, to diligently pursue the registration and maintenance of each Patent, Trademark, or Copyright registration or application and shall not abandon any such application prior to exhaustion of all administrative and judicial remedies, now or hereafter included in such Article 9 Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property of such Grantor where reasonable to do so. Each Grantor shall take all reasonable steps to maintain its trade secrets under applicable law and to preserve the secrecy of its confidential information.
(ii) Other than to the extent permitted herein or in the Credit Agreement, or with respect to registration and applications no longer used, or except as would not, as deemed by the Borrower in its reasonable business judgment, be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, no Grantor shall do or permit any act or knowingly omit to do any act whereby any of its Article 9 Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property may lapse, be terminated, or become invalid or unenforceable or placed in the public domain (or in the case of a trade secret, becomes publicly known).
(iii) Other than as excluded or as permitted herein or in the Credit Agreement, or with respect to Patents, Copyrights or Trademarks which are no longer used or useful in the Grantor’s business operations or except where failure to do so would not, as deemed by the applicable Grantor in its reasonable business judgment, be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, each Grantor shall take all reasonable steps to preserve and protect each item of its Article 9 Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property, including, without limitation, maintaining the quality of any and all products or services used or provided in connection with any of the Trademarks, consistent with the quality of the products and services as of the date hereof, and taking all reasonable steps necessary to ensure that all licensed users of any of the Trademarks abide by the applicable license’s terms with respect to the standards of quality and using the Trademarks which are material to such Grantor’s business in interstate commerce during the time in which this Agreement is in effect and to take all reasonable steps to preserve such Trademarks under the laws of relevant jurisdiction. Each Grantor agrees to renew those of its domain name registrations that are material to such Grantor’s business.
15
(iv) Each Grantor represents and warrants that it is the lawful owner of all material Article 9 Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property, including (i) the Patents listed in the Perfection Certificate for such Grantor and that said Patents include all the material United States patents and applications that such Grantor owns as of the date hereof, and (ii) the Copyrights listed in the Perfection Certificate for such Grantor and that said Copyrights include all the United States copyrights registered and applied for with the USCO for material United States copyrights that such Grantor owns as of the date hereof.
(v) Each Grantor further represents and warrants that the Trademarks and domain names listed in the Perfection Certificate include all material United States registered marks and applications for United States registered marks in the USPTO and all material domain names that such Grantor owns in connection with its business as of the date hereof. Each Grantor represents and warrants that it is the lawful owner of all U.S. trademark registrations and applications and domain name registrations listed in the Perfection Certificate and that said registrations are subsisting and have not been canceled, and that such Grantor has not received any written third-party claim that any of said registrations is invalid or unenforceable, other than as would not, either individually or in the aggregate, in the Grantor’s reasonable opinion, be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(vi) Each Grantor agrees, promptly upon learning thereof, to notify the Collateral Agent in writing of the name and address of, and to furnish such pertinent information that may be available with respect to, any party who such Grantor learns is likely to be infringing, contributorily infringing, actively inducing infringement, misappropriating or otherwise violating any of such Grantor’s rights in and to any Intellectual Property in any manner that would, in the Grantor’s reasonable opinion, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or with respect to any party claiming that such Grantor’s use of any Intellectual Property material to such Grantor’s business violates in any material respect any property right of such party. Each Grantor further agrees to take appropriate actions diligently against, including, but not limited to prosecution of, in accordance with reasonable business practices, any Person infringing any Intellectual Property right in any manner that would, in the Grantor’s reasonable opinion, reasonably be expected to, either individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.
(vii) If any Grantor acquires, makes an application for, or is issued a registration for Intellectual Property before the USPTO, the USCO, or an equivalent thereof in any state of the United States, such Grantor shall, at its own expense, deliver to the Administrative Agent a grant of a security interest in such application or registration, within sixty (60) days of the submission of such application or receipt of registration (twenty (20) days in the case of Copyrights) confirming the grant of a security interest in such Intellectual Property to the Administrative Agent hereunder. Such security interest must be substantially in the form of Exhibit III hereto in the case of Patents, Exhibit IV hereto in the case of Trademarks, or Exhibit V hereto in the case of Copyrights, or in such other form as may be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(viii) Concurrently with the delivery of the Perfection Certificate pursuant to Section 3.03(c), and upon reasonable request by the Administrative Agent (but in any event, not more than three times per fiscal year), if a United States Patent or an application for a United States Patent, a registered Copyright, or an application for a United States Copyright is issued or acquired by a Grantor, the relevant Grantor shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a copy of said Copyright or Patent, or certificate or registration of, or application therefor, as the case may be, and shall update, through amendment or by other written document executed by and reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent and such Grantor, the relevant schedules of any Intellectual Property Security Agreement filed with the USPTO pursuant to this Agreement, such that any such update may be filed with the USPTO.
16
(ix) Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document prevents any Grantor from disposing of, discontinuing the use or maintenance of, failing to pursue, or otherwise allowing to lapse, terminate or be put into the public domain, any of its Article 9 Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property to the extent permitted by the Credit Agreement if such Grantor determines in its reasonable business judgment that such discontinuance is desirable in the conduct of its business.
(x) Subject to Sections 3.02 and 3.03(i) above, the Grantors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to correct all currently known chain of title issues regarding the Article 9 Collateral constituting Intellectual Property collateral listed on Schedule 12 of the Perfection Certificate within sixty (60) days following the Closing Date (or such later date as agreed by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) and; provided, however, that if despite such efforts, Grantors cannot correct these issues within sixty (60) days, they shall remain obligated to continue such efforts until the issues are resolved or it is reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent that it is no longer commercially reasonable to continue such efforts.
SECTION 3.04. Other Actions. In order to further insure the attachment, perfection and priority of, and the ability of the Administrative Agent to enforce, the Security Interest, each Grantor agrees, in each case at such Grantor’s own expense, to take the following actions with respect to the following Article 9 Collateral:
(a) Instruments. If any Grantor shall at any time hold or acquire any Instruments constituting Article 9 Collateral and evidencing an amount in excess of $10,000,000, such Grantor shall forthwith endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably request.
(b) Investment Property. Except to the extent otherwise provided in Article II, if any Grantor shall at any time hold or acquire any certificated securities, such Grantor shall forthwith endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably request. If any securities now or hereafter acquired by any Grantor are uncertificated and are issued to such Grantor or its nominee directly by the issuer thereof, following the occurrence of an Event of Default such Grantor shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent thereof and, at the Administrative Agent’s reasonable request, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, either (i) cause the issuer to agree to comply with instructions from the Administrative Agent as to such securities, without further consent of any Grantor or such nominee, or (ii) arrange for the Administrative Agent to become the registered owner of such securities. If any securities, whether certificated or uncertificated, or other investment property are held by any Grantor or its nominee through a securities intermediary or commodity intermediary, following the occurrence of an Event of Default, such Grantor shall immediately notify the Administrative Agent thereof and at the Administrative Agent’s request and option, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent shall either (i) cause such securities intermediary or (as the case may be) commodity intermediary to agree to comply with entitlement orders or other instructions from the Administrative Agent to such securities intermediary as to such security entitlements, or (as the case may be) to apply any value distributed on account of any commodity contract as directed by the Administrative Agent to such commodity intermediary, in each case without further consent of any Grantor or such nominee, or (ii) in the case of financial assets or other
17
Investment Property held through a securities intermediary, arrange for the Administrative Agent to become the entitlement holder with respect to such Investment Property, with the Grantor being permitted, only with the consent of the Administrative Agent, to exercise rights to withdraw or otherwise deal with such Investment Property. The Administrative Agent agrees with each of the Grantors that the Administrative Agent shall not give any such entitlement orders or instructions or directions to any such issuer, securities intermediary or commodity intermediary, and shall not withhold its consent to the exercise of any withdrawal or dealing rights by any Grantor, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. The provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to any financial assets credited to a securities account for which the Administrative Agent is the securities intermediary.
ARTICLE IV
Remedies
SECTION 4.01. Remedies upon Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, it is agreed that the Administrative Agent shall have the right to exercise any and all rights afforded to a secured party with respect to the Secured Obligations under the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law and also may (i) require each Grantor to, and each Grantor agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of the Administrative Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Administrative Agent and make it available to the Administrative Agent at a place and time to be designated by the Administrative Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties; (ii) occupy any premises owned or, to the extent lawful and permitted, leased by any of the Grantors where the Collateral or any part thereof is assembled or located for a reasonable period in order to effectuate its rights and remedies hereunder or under law, without obligation to such Grantor in respect of such occupation; provided that the Administrative Agent shall provide the applicable Grantor with notice thereof prior to or promptly after such occupancy; (iii) declare the entire right, title, and interest of such Grantor in each of the Patents, Trademarks, domain names and Copyrights vested in the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties (in which event such right, title, and interest shall immediately vest in the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to exercise the power of attorney referred to below in Section 4.03 hereof to execute, cause to be acknowledged and notarized and to record said absolute assignment with the applicable agency); (iv) exercise any and all rights and remedies of any of the Grantors under or in connection with the Collateral, or otherwise in respect of the Collateral; provided that the Administrative Agent shall provide the applicable Grantor with notice thereof prior to or promptly after such exercise; and (v) subject to the mandatory requirements of applicable law and the notice requirements described below, sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral securing the Secured Obligations at a public or private sale or at any broker’s board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery as the Administrative Agent shall deem appropriate. The Administrative Agent shall be authorized at any such sale of securities (if it deems it advisable to do so) to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to Persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing the Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or sale thereof, and upon consummation of any such sale the Administrative Agent shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold. Each such purchaser at any sale of Collateral shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay and appraisal which such Grantor now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Grantors agree to execute such further documents as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to transfer ownership of the Patents, Trademarks, domain names and Copyrights to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties.
18
The Administrative Agent shall give the applicable Grantors 10 days’ written notice (which each Grantor agrees is reasonable notice within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the New York UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions) of the Administrative Agent’s intention to make any sale of Collateral. Such notice, in the case of a public sale, shall state the time and place for such sale and, in the case of a sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or portion thereof, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Administrative Agent may fix and state in the notice (if any) of such sale. At any such sale, the Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Administrative Agent may (in its sole and absolute discretion) determine. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral shall have been given. The Administrative Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. In case any sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Administrative Agent until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the Administrative Agent shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon like notice. At any public (or, to the extent permitted by law, private) sale made pursuant to this Agreement, any Secured Party may bid for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by law) from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of any Grantor (all said rights being also hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by law), the Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to such Secured Party from any Grantor as a credit against the purchase price, and such Secured Party may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to any Grantor therefor. For purposes hereof, a written agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof; the Administrative Agent shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and no Grantor shall be entitled to the return of the Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Administrative Agent shall have entered into such an agreement all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Secured Obligations paid in full. As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Administrative Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court appointed receiver. Any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.01 shall be deemed to conform to the commercially reasonable standards as provided in Section 9-610(b) of the New York UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions.
Each Grantor irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent (and all officers, employees or agents designated by the Administrative Agent) as such Grantor’s true and lawful agent (and attorney-in-fact) during the continuance of an Event of Default and after notice to the Borrower of its intent to exercise such rights, for the purpose of (i) making, settling and adjusting claims in respect of Article 9 Collateral under policies of insurance, endorsing the name of such Grantor on any check, draft, instrument or other item of payment for the proceeds of such policies of insurance, (ii) making all determinations and decisions with respect thereto and (iii) obtaining or maintaining the policies of insurance required by Section 6.07 of the Credit Agreement or paying any premium in whole or in part relating thereto.
19
SECTION 4.02. Application of Proceeds. (a) The Administrative Agent shall apply the proceeds of any collection or sale of Collateral, including any Collateral consisting of cash, in accordance with Section 9.03 of the Credit Agreement.
(b) The Administrative Agent shall have absolute discretion as to the time of application of any such proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this Agreement and the Credit Agreement. Upon any sale of Collateral by the Administrative Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the Administrative Agent or of the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Administrative Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.
(c) In making the determinations and allocations required by this Section 4.02, the Administrative Agent may conclusively rely upon information supplied by the Administrative Agent as to the amounts of unpaid principal and interest and other amounts outstanding with respect to the Secured Obligations, and the Administrative Agent shall have no liability to any of the Secured Parties for actions taken in reliance on such information, provided that nothing in this sentence shall prevent any Grantor from contesting any amounts claimed by any Secured Party in any information so supplied. All distributions made by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 4.02 shall be (subject to any decree of any court of competent jurisdiction) final (absent manifest error), and the Administrative Agent shall have no duty to inquire as to the application by the Administrative Agent of any amounts distributed to it. It is understood and agreed that the Grantors shall remain jointly and severally liable to the extent of any deficiency between the amount of the proceeds of the Collateral and the aggregate amount of the Secured Obligations.
SECTION 4.03. Grant of License to Use Intellectual Property; Power of Attorney. For the exclusive purpose of enabling the Administrative Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Agreement at such time as the Administrative Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor shall, upon prior written request by the Administrative Agent at any time after and during the continuance of an Event of Default, grant to the Administrative Agent a non-exclusive, irrevocable, royalty-free, limited license (until the termination or cure of the Event of Default) to use, license or sublicense any of the Article 9 Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 4.03 shall require Grantors to grant any license that is prohibited by any rule of law, statute or regulation, or is prohibited by, or constitutes a breach or default under or results in the termination of any contract, license, agreement, instrument or other document evidencing, giving rise to or theretofore granted, to the extent permitted by the Credit Agreement, with respect to such property or otherwise unreasonably prejudices the value thereof to the relevant Grantor; provided, further, that such licenses to be granted hereunder with respect to Trademarks shall be subject to the maintenance of quality standards with respect to the goods and services on which such Trademarks are used sufficient to preserve the validity of such Trademarks. For the avoidance of doubt, the use of such license by the Administrative Agent may be exercised, at the option of the Administrative Agent, only during the continuation of an Event of Default. Furthermore, each Grantor hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an absolute power of attorney to sign, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, any document which may be required by the USPTO or the USCO in order to effect an absolute assignment of all right, title and interest in each Patent, Trademark or Copyright, and to record the same.

ARTICLE V
Indemnity, Subrogation and Subordination
SECTION 5.01. Indemnity. In addition to all such rights of indemnity and subrogation as the Grantors may have under applicable law (but subject to Section 5.03), the Borrower agrees that, in the event any assets of any Grantor shall be sold pursuant to this Agreement or any other Collateral Document to satisfy in whole or in part a Secured Obligation owed to any Secured Party, the Borrower shall indemnify such Grantor in an amount equal to the greater of the book value or the fair market value of the assets so sold.
SECTION 5.02. Contribution and Subrogation. Each Grantor (a “Contributing Party”) agrees (subject to Section 5.03) that, in the event assets of any other Grantor shall be sold pursuant to any Collateral Document to satisfy any Secured Obligation owed to any Secured Party, and such other Grantor (the “Claiming Party”) shall not have been fully indemnified by the Borrower as provided in Section 5.01, the Contributing Party shall indemnify the Claiming Party in an amount equal to the greater of the book value or the fair market value of such assets, in each case multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the net worth of the Contributing Party on the date hereof and the denominator shall be the aggregate net worth of all the Contributing Parties together with the net worth of the Claiming Party on the date hereof (or, in the case of any Grantor becoming a party hereto pursuant to Section 6.15, the date of the Security Agreement Supplement hereto executed and delivered by such Grantor). Any Contributing Party making any payment to a Claiming Party pursuant to this Section 5.02 shall be subrogated to the rights of such Claiming Party to the extent of such payment.
SECTION 5.03. Subordination. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, all rights of the Grantors under Sections 5.01 and 5.02 and all other rights of indemnity, contribution or subrogation under applicable law or otherwise shall be fully subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations, provided that if any amount shall be paid to such Grantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time prior to the irrevocable payment in full in cash of all the Secured Obligations, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent to be credited and applied against the Secured Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with Section 9.03 of the Credit Agreement. No failure on the part of the Borrower or any Grantor to make the payments required by Sections 5.01 and 5.02 (or any other payments required under applicable law or otherwise) shall in any respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Grantor with respect to its obligations hereunder, and each Grantor shall remain liable for the full amount of the obligations of such Grantor hereunder.
ARTICLE VI
Miscellaneous
SECTION 6.01. Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein) be in writing and given as provided in Section 11.02 of the Credit Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to any Grantor shall be given to it in care of the Borrower as provided in Section 11.02 of the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 6.02. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and
21
remedies of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any Grantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 6.02, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. No notice or demand on any Grantor in any case shall entitle any Grantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and the Grantor or Grantors with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, subject to any consent required in accordance with Section 11.01 of the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 6.03. Administrative Agent’s Fees and Expenses. (a) The parties hereto agree that the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to reimbursement of its expenses incurred hereunder as provided in Section 11.04 of the Credit Agreement.
(b) Without limitation of its indemnification obligations under the other Loan Documents, the Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and the other Indemnitees (as defined in Section 11.05 of the Credit Agreement) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing agreements or instruments contemplated hereby, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such Indemnitee or Related Indemnified Person of such Indemnitee.
(c) Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional Secured Obligations secured hereby and by the other Collateral Documents. The provisions of this Section 6.03 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Secured Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party. All amounts due under this Section 6.03 shall be payable within 10 days of written demand therefor.
SECTION 6.04. Successors and Assigns. Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the permitted successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of any Grantor or the Administrative Agent that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns, to the extent permitted under Section 11.07 of the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 6.05. Survival of Agreement. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such
22
representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Secured Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding (unless the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations related thereto has been Cash Collateralized).
SECTION 6.06. Counterparts; Effectiveness; Successors and Assigns; Several Agreement. This Agreement and each other Loan Document may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery by facsimile transmission or other electronic communication of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement and each other Loan Document shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement and such other Loan Document. The Agents may also require that any such documents and signatures delivered by facsimile transmission or other electronic communication 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 facsimile transmission or other electronic communication. This Agreement shall become effective as to any Grantor when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of such Grantor shall have been delivered to the Administrative Agent and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Administrative Agent, and thereafter shall be binding upon such Grantor and the Administrative Agent and their respective successors and assigns permitted thereby, and shall inure to the benefit of such Grantor, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns permitted thereby, except that no Grantor shall have the right to assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein or in the Collateral (and any such assignment or transfer shall be void) except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. This Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each Grantor and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released with respect to any Grantor without the approval of any other Grantor and without affecting the obligations of any other Grantor hereunder.
SECTION 6.07. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
SECTION 6.08. Right of Set-Off. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender and its Affiliates and each L/C Issuer and its Affiliates is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to any Grantor, any such notice being waived by the Borrower (on its own behalf and on behalf of each Grantor and its Subsidiaries) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other Indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender and its Affiliates or such L/C Issuer and its Affiliates, as the case may be, to or for the credit or the account of the respective Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries against any and all Secured Obligations owing to such Lender and its Affiliates or such L/C Issuer and its Affiliates hereunder or under any other Loan Document, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not such Agent or such Lender or Affiliate shall have made demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Secured Obligations may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable deposit or Indebtedness. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Lender or its Affiliates and no L/C Issuer or its Affiliates shall have a right to set off and apply any deposits held or other
23
Indebtedness owing by such Lender or its Affiliates or such L/C Issuer or its Affiliates, as the case may be, to or for the credit or the account of any Subsidiary of a Loan Party which is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code unless such Subsidiary is not a direct or indirect subsidiary of Holdings. Each Lender and L/C Issuer agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set off and application made by such Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each L/C Issuer under this Section 6.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that the Administrative Agent, such Lender and such L/C Issuer may have.
SECTION 6.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED THEREIN).
(b) ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, MAY BE BROUGHT IN XXX XXXXXX XX XXX XXXXX XX XXX XXXX SITTING IN NEW YORK CITY OR OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF SUCH STATE, AND BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH OF THE BORROWER, HOLDINGS, EACH GRANTOR AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT CONSENTS, FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THOSE COURTS. EACH OF THE BORROWER, HOLDINGS, EACH GRANTOR AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH JURISDICTION IN RESPECT OF ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR OTHER DOCUMENT RELATED THERETO.
(c) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 6.01. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
SECTION 6.10. WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER FOUNDED IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE; AND EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION 6.10 WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE SIGNATORIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.
24
SECTION 6.11. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.
SECTION 6.12. Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Security Interest, the grant of a security interest in the Collateral and all obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, any agreement with respect to any of the Secured Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing, (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Secured Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument, (c) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Lien on other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent under or departure from any guarantee, securing or guaranteeing all or any of the Secured Obligations or (d) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Grantor in respect of the Secured Obligations or this Agreement.
SECTION 6.13. Collateral Sharing. Pursuant to Sections 7.01(ee) and 7.01(ii) of the Credit Agreement, the Administrative Agent acknowledges and agrees that it shall execute and deliver any collateral sharing agreements with one or more of the Grantors and other secured parties that may extend indebtedness thereunder to such Grantor or Grantors. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the lien and security interest granted to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties hereunder shall be subject to the provisions of any collateral sharing agreement executed in furtherance of Sections 7.01(ee) and 7.01(ii) of the Credit Agreement. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between a provision of such collateral sharing agreement and this Agreement relating to the foregoing in this Section 6.13, the provisions of such collateral sharing agreement shall control; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the proceeds of any Collateral pledged by a Guarantor or any payments made by a Guarantor be applied to payment of any Excluded Swap Obligations of such Guarantor.
SECTION 6.14. Termination or Release. (a) This Agreement, the Security Interest and all other security interests granted hereby shall terminate with respect to all Secured Obligations and any Liens arising therefrom shall be automatically released when all the outstanding Secured Obligations (in each case other than (x) obligations under Secured Hedge Agreements not yet due and payable, (y) Cash Management Obligations not yet due and payable and (z) contingent indemnification obligations not yet accrued and payable) have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Lenders have no further commitment to lend under the Credit Agreement, the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations have been either reduced to zero or Cash Collateralized and the L/C Issuers have no further obligations to issue Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement.
(b) A Grantor shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder and the Security Interest in the Collateral of such Grantor shall be automatically released upon the consummation of any transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement as a result of which such Grantor ceases to be a Subsidiary or is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary of Borrower.
(c) Upon any disposition by any Grantor of any Collateral that is not prohibited by the Credit Agreement or upon the effectiveness of any written consent to the release of the security interest granted hereby in any Collateral pursuant to Section 11.01 of the Credit Agreement, the security interest of such Grantor in such Collateral shall be automatically released.
25
(d) A Grantor (other than Holdings and the Borrower) shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder and the Security Interest in the Collateral of such Grantor shall be automatically released if such Grantor ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement.

Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 6.14 shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent.
(f) At any time that the respective Grantor desires that the Administrative Agent take any action described in the immediately preceding paragraph (e), it shall, upon request of the Administrative Agent, deliver to the Administrative Agent an officer’s certificate certifying that the release of the respective Collateral is permitted pursuant to paragraph (a), (b), (c) or (d). The Administrative Agent shall have no liability whatsoever to any Secured Party as a result of any release of Collateral by it as permitted (or which the Administrative Agent in good faith believes to be permitted) by this Section 6.14.
(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, each Cash Management Bank and each Hedge Bank by the acceptance of the benefits under this Agreement hereby acknowledge and agree that (i) the obligations of the Borrower or any Subsidiary under any Secured Hedge Agreement and the Cash Management Obligations (in each case, other than any Excluded Swap Obligation) shall be secured pursuant to this Agreement only to the extent that, and for so long as, the other Secured Obligations are so secured and (ii) any release of Collateral effected in the manner permitted by this Agreement shall not require the consent of any Hedge Bank or Cash Management Bank.
SECTION 6.15. Additional Restricted Subsidiaries. Pursuant to Section 6.11 of the Credit Agreement, certain Restricted Subsidiaries of Borrower that were not in existence, were not Restricted Subsidiaries or were Excluded Subsidiaries on the date of the Credit Agreement are required to enter in this Agreement as Grantors upon becoming Restricted Subsidiaries or upon ceasing to be Excluded Subsidiaries by execution and delivery of a Security Agreement Supplement in the form of Exhibit I hereto by the Administrative Agent and such Restricted Subsidiary. Upon such execution and delivery, such Restricted Subsidiary shall become a Grantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Grantor herein. The execution and delivery of any such instrument shall not require the consent of any other Grantor hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Grantor as a party to this Agreement.
SECTION 6.16. Administrative Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each Grantor hereby appoints the Administrative Agent the attorney-in-fact of such Grantor for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and executing any instrument that the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof at any time after and during the continuance of an Event of Default, which appointment is irrevocable (until termination of the Credit Agreement) and coupled with an interest. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall have the right, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and notice by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower of its intent to exercise such rights, with full power of substitution either in the Administrative Agent’s name or in the name of such Grantor (a) to receive, endorse, assign and/or deliver any and all notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders or other evidences of payment relating to the Collateral or any part thereof; (b) to demand, collect, receive payment of, give receipt for and give discharges and releases of all or any of the
26
Collateral; (c) to sign the name of any Grantor on any invoice or xxxx of lading relating to any of the Collateral; (d) to send verifications of Accounts to any Account Debtor; (e) to commence and prosecute any and all suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect or otherwise realize on all or any of the Collateral or to enforce any rights in respect of any Collateral; (f) to settle, compromise, compound, adjust or defend any actions, suits or proceedings relating to all or any of the Collateral; (g) to notify, or to require any Grantor to notify, Account Debtors to make payment directly to the Administrative Agent; (h) to make, settle and adjust claims in respect of Article 9 Collateral under policies of insurance, including endorsing the name of any Grantor on any check, draft, instrument or other item of payment for the proceeds of such policies of insurance, making all determinations and decisions with respect thereto and obtaining or maintaining the policies of insurance required by Section 6.07 of the Credit Agreement or paying any premium in whole or in part relating thereto; and (i) to use, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with all or any of the Collateral, and to do all other acts and things necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, as fully and completely as though the Administrative Agent were the absolute owner of the Collateral for all purposes; provided that nothing herein contained shall be construed as requiring or obligating the Administrative Agent to make any commitment or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the Administrative Agent, or to present or file any claim or notice, or to take any action with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof or the moneys due or to become due in respect thereof or any property covered thereby. The Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts actually received as a result of the exercise of the powers granted to them herein, and neither they nor their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct or that of any of their Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, counsel, agents or attorneys-in-fact. All sums disbursed by the Administrative Agent in connection with this paragraph, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, expenses and other charges relating thereto, shall be payable, within 10 days of demand, by the Grantors to the Administrative Agent and shall be additional Secured Obligations secured hereby.
SECTION 6.17. General Authority of the Administrative Agent. By acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement and any other Collateral Documents, each Secured Party (whether or not a signatory hereto) shall be deemed irrevocably (a) to consent to the appointment of the Administrative Agent as its agent hereunder and under such other Collateral Documents, (b) to confirm that the Administrative Agent shall have the authority to act as the exclusive agent of such Secured Party for the enforcement of any provisions of this Agreement and such other Collateral Documents against any Grantor, the exercise of remedies hereunder or thereunder and the giving or withholding of any consent or approval hereunder or thereunder relating to any Collateral or any Grantor’s obligations with respect thereto, (c) to agree that it shall not take any action to enforce any provisions of this Agreement or any other Collateral Document against any Grantor, to exercise any remedy hereunder or thereunder or to give any consents or approvals hereunder or thereunder except as expressly provided in this Agreement or any other Collateral Document and (d) to agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and any other Collateral Documents.
SECTION 6.18. Recourse; Limited Obligations. This Agreement is made with full recourse to each Grantor and pursuant to and upon all the warranties, representations, covenants and agreements on the part of such Grantor contained herein, in the Loan Documents and the Secured Hedge Agreements and otherwise in writing in connection herewith or therewith. It is the desire and intent of each Grantor and the Secured Parties that this Agreement shall be enforced against each Grantor to the fullest extent permissible under the laws applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, and in furtherance of the foregoing, it is noted that the obligations of each Grantor that is a Guarantor have been limited as expressly provided in the Guaranty and are limited hereunder as and to the same extent provided therein.

SECTION 1. In accordance with Section 6.15 of the Security Agreement, the New Subsidiary by its signature below becomes a Grantor under the Security Agreement with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a Grantor and the New Subsidiary hereby (a) agrees to all the terms and provisions of the Security Agreement applicable to it as a Grantor and Grantor thereunder and (b) represents and warrants that the representations and warranties made by it as a Grantor thereunder are true and correct on and as of the date hereof.

SECTION 7. If any provision of this Supplement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Supplement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
SECTION 8. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in Section 6.01 of the Security Agreement.
SECTION 9. The New Subsidiary agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the execution and delivery of this Supplement, including the reasonable fees, other charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent.

Opinion of Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx & Xxxxxxxx LLP
February 19, 2013
The Administrative Agent and the Lenders party on the date hereof
to the Restated Credit Agreement referred to below
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as special counsel to Sabre Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), Sabre Holdings Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Holdings”), and each of the parties listed in Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”), in connection with that certain Amendment and Restatement Agreement dated as of the date hereof (the “Amendment Agreement”) among the Borrower, Holdings, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Lenders party thereto, Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, as Original Administrative Agent and L/C Issuer, and Bank of America, N.A., as Successor Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender, L/C Issuer, Fronting Term B Lender and Fronting Term C Lender, which, upon satisfaction of the conditions to effectiveness thereto, amends and restates that certain Credit Agreement dated as of March 30, 2007 (as amended and restated prior to the date hereof, the “Original Credit Agreement”) among the Borrower, Holdings, Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, as administrative agent, swing line lender and L/C issuer, and the Lenders party thereto. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Amendment Agreement or the Restated Credit Agreement (as defined below), as applicable. Each of the Borrower, Holdings and the Subsidiary Guarantors is referred to as a “Credit Party” herein, and they are referred to collectively herein as the “Credit Parties.” This opinion letter is furnished pursuant to Section 8(b) of the Amendment Agreement and Section 4.01(a)(v)(i) of the Restated Credit Agreement.
In arriving at the opinions expressed below, we have reviewed the following documents:
| (a) | an executed copy of the Amendment Agreement, including the amended and restated Original Credit Agreement attached thereto as Annex A (the “Restated Credit Agreement”); |
Bank of America, N.A.
as Administrative Agent, et. al.
p. 2
| (b) | an executed copy of the Amended and Restated Pledge and Security Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “Restated Security Agreement”) among Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, the Borrower, Holdings and certain Subsidiary Guarantors party thereto; |
| (c) | an executed copy of the Amended and Restated Guaranty, dated as of the date hereof (the “Restated Guaranty”) among Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, the Borrower, Holdings and certain Subsidiary Guarantors party thereto; |
| (d) | an executed copy of the Amendment of Security Interest in Copyrights dated as of the date hereof (the “Copyright Amendment”) among Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, Bank of America, N.A., Holdings, the Borrower and certain Subsidiary Guarantors party thereto; |
| (e) | an executed copy of the Amendment of Security Interest in Trademarks dated as of the date hereof (the “Trademark Amendment”) among Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, Bank of America, N.A., Holdings, the Borrower and certain Subsidiary Guarantors party thereto; |
| (f) | an executed copy of the Amendment of Security Interest in Patents dated as of the date hereof (the “Patent Amendment”) among Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, Bank of America, N.A., Holdings, the Borrower and certain Subsidiary Guarantors party thereto; |
| (g) | an executed copy of the Copyright Security Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “Copyright Security Agreement”) among Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, the Borrower, Holdings and certain Subsidiary Guarantors party thereto; |

Bank of America, N.A.
as Administrative Agent, et. al.
p. 3
| (j) | an executed copy of the Officer’s Certificate of the Borrower attached as Exhibit B hereto in connection with the opinion expressed in numbered paragraph 4 below; and |
| (k) | the agreements identified in Exhibit C hereto. |
In addition, we have made such investigations of law, as we have deemed appropriate as a basis for the opinions expressed below.
In rendering the opinions expressed below, we have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies. In addition, we have assumed and have not verified the accuracy as to factual matters of each document we have reviewed (including, without limitation, the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Credit Parties in the Amendment Documents or the Restated Credit Agreement).
Based on the foregoing, and subject to the further assumptions and qualifications set forth below, it is our opinion that:
1. Each of the Amendment Documents to which any Credit Party is a party has been duly executed and delivered by such Credit Party.
2. Each of the Amendment Documents and the Restated Credit Agreement to which any Credit Party is a party is a valid, binding and enforceable agreement of such Credit Party.
3. Except for such filings and other actions as may be required to perfect the Liens in favor of the Administrative Agent that the Amendment Documents and the Restated Credit Agreement purport to create, the execution and delivery of the Amendment Documents by each of the Credit Parties do not, and the performance by each of the Credit Parties of its obligations in each of the Amendment Documents and the Restated Credit Agreement to which it is a party will not, (a) require any consent, approval, authorization, registration or qualification of or with any governmental authority of the United States of America or the State of New York that in our experience normally would be applicable to general business entities with respect to such execution, delivery and performance (but we express no opinion relating to the United States federal securities laws or any state securities or Blue Sky laws), (b) result in a breach of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute a default under, any of the agreements of such Credit Party identified in Exhibit C hereto, or (c) result in a violation of any United States federal or New York State law or published rule or regulation that in our experience normally would be applicable to general business entities with respect to such execution, delivery and performance (but we express no opinion relating to the United States federal securities laws or any state securities or Blue Sky laws).
4. The Borrower is not required to be registered as an investment company under the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
Bank of America, N.A.
as Administrative Agent, et. al.
p. 4
5. The Restated Security Agreement creates in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties as security for the Secured Obligations, a valid security interest in each Grantor’s (as defined in the Restated Security Agreement) rights in the Collateral described therein to the extent that a security interest in such Collateral can be created under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York (the “NYUCC”) (the “Article 9 Collateral”), except that a security interest in any Collateral constituting a Commercial Tort Claim (as defined in the Restated Security Agreement) will only be created when a sufficient description thereof (within the meaning of Section 9-108 of the NYUCC) is provided on Schedule II of the Restated Security Agreement in accordance with Section 3.01 of the Restated Security Agreement.
6. With respect to that portion of the Collateral consisting of Pledged Collateral (as defined in the Restated Security Agreement) constituting “securities” or “instruments” within the meaning of the New York UCC, upon delivery of certificates or instruments representing such Pledged Collateral to the Administrative Agent in the State of New York, the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties will have a perfected security interest in such Pledged Collateral, which will remain a perfected security interest for as long as the Administrative Agent continuously maintains possession of such certificates and instruments in the State of New York.
In arriving at the opinion expressed above in numbered paragraph 5, we have assumed that the relevant Credit Parties have rights in the subject Collateral (and we express no opinion with respect thereto) and we note that, with respect to Collateral in which such Credit Parties have no present rights, the Restated Security Agreement will create the security interest referred to in numbered paragraph 5 only when such Credit Parties acquire such rights.
We have also assumed compliance with any restrictions on or procedures applicable to any transfer of interests in the Collateral.
Insofar as the foregoing opinions relate to the validity, binding effect or enforceability of any agreement or obligation of any of the Credit Parties or the creation or transfer of an interest in property, (a) we have assumed that such Credit Party and each other party to such agreement or obligation has satisfied those legal requirements that are applicable to it to the extent necessary to make such agreement or obligation enforceable against it (except that no such assumption is made as to any of the Credit Parties regarding matters of the federal law of the United States of America or the law of the State of New York that in our experience normally would be applicable to general business entities with respect to such agreement or obligation) and (b) such opinions are subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of equity.
In addition, certain of the remedial provisions of the Collateral Documents may be further limited or rendered unenforceable by other applicable laws or judicially adopted principles which, however, in our judgment do not make the remedies provided for therein (taken as a whole) inadequate for the practical realization of the principal benefits purported to be afforded thereby (except for the economic consequences of procedural or other delay). Insofar as provisions contained in any of the Amendment Documents or the Restated Credit Agreement provide for indemnification, the enforcement thereof may be limited by public policy considerations.
Bank of America, N.A.
as Administrative Agent, et. al.
p. 5
With respect to Section 11 of the Amendment Agreement, Section 11.16(b) of the Restated Credit Agreement, Section 6.09(b) of the Restated Security Agreement and Section 4.08(b) of the Restated Guaranty, we express no opinion as to the subject matter jurisdiction of any United States federal court to adjudicate any action relating to such agreements where jurisdiction based on diversity of citizenship under 28 U.S.C. §1332 does not exist.
We note that the designation in Section 11 of the Amendment Agreement, Section 11.16(b) of the Restated Credit Agreement, Section 6.09(b) of the Restated Security Agreement and Section 4.08(b) of the Restated Guaranty of the U.S. federal courts for the Southern District of New York as the venue for actions or proceedings relating to such agreements is (notwithstanding the waivers in Section 11 of the Amendment Agreement, Section 11.16(b) of the Restated Credit Agreement, Section 6.09(b) of the Restated Security Agreement and Section 4.08(b) of the Restated Guaranty Agreement) subject to the power of such courts to transfer actions pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §1404(a) or to dismiss such actions or proceedings on the grounds that such a federal court is an inconvenient forum for such an action or proceeding.
We note that by statute New York provides that a judgment or decree rendered in a currency other than the currency of the United States shall be converted into U.S. dollars at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of entry of the judgment or decree. There is no corresponding Federal statute and no controlling Federal court decision on this issue. Accordingly, we express no opinion as to whether a Federal court would award a judgment in a currency other than U.S. dollars or, if it did so, whether it would order conversion of the judgment into U.S. dollars. In addition, we express no opinion as to the enforceability of Section 11.19 of the Restated Credit Agreement relating to currency indemnity.
The foregoing opinions are limited to the federal law of the United States of America and the law of the State of New York.
