(a) The Lead Borrower may at any time, and from time to time, after the Closing Date, by a written notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders), request that the Aggregate Commitment Amount be increased (a “Commitment Increase”) by an amount (in aggregate for all such requests) not to exceed Five Hundred Million Dollars ($500,000,000) and each such Commitment Increase shall (assuming the conditions set forth in this Section 2.8 have been satisfied) be in the minimum amount of Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000) which Commitment Increase shall be effective as of the date specified in such notice. At the time of sending such notice, the Lead Borrower (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the amortization schedule of each additional Loan made pursuant to this Section 2.8. The amount of the first principal payment of the additional Loan will be based on the pro rata percentage of the quarter during which such additional Loan was outstanding. Any additional Loan will amortize at the same annual rate of amortization as the Loans that are in effect when such additional Loan is funded. Such annual rate of amortization on the initial Loan will be calculated by comparing the annual aggregate scheduled principal payments of the initial Loan to the unpaid principal balance of such initial Loan at the time the additional Loan is funded. (b) Each Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent within the time period specified therefor in the notice delivered pursuant to Section 2.8(a) whether or not it agrees to increase its Commitment and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than or less than its applicable Percentage of such requested increase; provided that no Lender shall be obligated to increase its Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.8 unless it so agrees. Any Lender that fails to promptly respond within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Commitment.
30 (c) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lead Borrower and each Lender of the Lenders’ responses to each request made hereunder. To achieve the full amount of a requested increase and subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), the Lead Borrower may also invite one or more Eligible Assignees to become parties hereto as Lenders (each, an “Additional Lender”). (d) If the Commitments are increased in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent and Lead Borrower shall mutually determine the effective date (the “Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such increase. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lead Borrower and the Lenders of the final allocation of such increase and the Increase Effective Date. (e) As a condition precedent to any Commitment Increase: (i) the Lead Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate signed by an Authorized Officer of such Borrower dated as of the Increase Effective Date, stating that, with respect to the Borrower: (A) the representations and warranties contained in Section 9 are true and correct on and as of such Increase Effective Date, before and after giving effect to the Commitment Increase, as though made on and as of such Increase Effective Date, (other than any representation or warranty that, by its terms, is made only as of an earlier date, which representation and warranty shall remain true and correct as of such earlier date in all material respects), (B) no Material Adverse Effect has occurred since the date of the financial statements most-recently delivered pursuant to Section 10.1(a), (C) no Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default exists before or after giving effect to such additional Loan and (D) the Borrowers shall be in pro forma compliance with all covenants set forth in Sections 10.15, 10.16 and 10.17 hereof; and (ii) on or before such Increase Effective Date, the Administrative Agent shall have received, for further distribution to each Lender (including each Additional Lender) a joinder agreement dated as of such Increase Effective Date from each Additional Lender, if any, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent. (f) On each Increase Effective Date, upon fulfillment of the conditions set forth in Section 2.8(e), (i) the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders (including each Additional Lender) and the Lead Borrower of the occurrence of the Commitment Increase to be effected on such Increase Effective Date, (ii) each applicable Additional Lender shall become a party to this Agreement with the rights and obligations of a “Lender” hereunder, (iii) the Administrative Agent shall record in the Register the relevant information with respect to each Additional Lender on such date and (iv) Schedule I shall be deemed amended to reflect the applicable Commitment Increase. Each Additional Lender shall, before 11:00 a.m. on the Increase Effective Date, make available for the account of its applicable lending office to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office, in same day funds, an aggregate amount to be distributed to the other Lenders for the
31 account of their respective applicable lending offices such that, after giving effect to such distribution, each Lender has a ratable share (calculated based on its Commitment as a percentage of the Aggregate Commitment Amount after giving effect to such Commitment Increase) of the Loans. The Principal Payment Amounts for each Payment Date shall be increased to reflect this Commitment Increase as necessary based on the amortization schedule provided by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.8(a). Each Borrower acknowledges that, in order to maintain the Loans in accordance with each Lender’s ratable share thereof, a reallocation of the Commitments as a result of a non-pro rata increase in the Aggregate Commitment Amount may require prepayment of all or portions of the Loans on the date of such increase (and any such prepayment shall be subject to the provisions of Section 6.2). SECTION 3. EVIDENCE OF LOANS. (a) The Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Xxxxxx and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrowers and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of either Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Liabilities. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Xxxxxx and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. (b) Upon the request of any Xxxxxx made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note which shall evidence such Xxxxxx’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type and amount of each of its Loans, the Interest Period therefor (if applicable) and payments with respect thereto. SECTION 4. PRINCIPAL PAYMENT AMOUNTS, INTEREST AND FEES. 4.1 Principal Payment Amounts. On each Principal Payment Date during the term of this Agreement, the Borrowers shall repay the Loans in an amount equal to the Principal Payment Amount. The aggregate principal balances of the Loans, together with accrued interest thereon and all other amounts owed by the Borrowers pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents, shall be payable in full on the earlier to occur of (i) the scheduled Maturity Date and (ii) the date on which the Liabilities have been declared payable in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.2 hereto. 4.2 Interest. Subject to Section 4.3, (a) Base Rate Loans. The unpaid principal of the Base Rate Loans shall bear interest prior to maturity at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the Base Rate in effect
32 from time to time plus (ii) the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time, payable on each Payment Date and at maturity. (b) Term SOFR Loans. The unpaid principal of the Term SOFR Loans shall bear interest prior to maturity at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) Term SOFR in effect for each applicable Interest Period plus (ii) the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time, payable on each Payment Date and at maturity. (c) Maximum Interest Rate. The amount of interest charged on the Loans shall be subject to the provisions of Section 14.21 hereto. 4.3 Default Interest. The Borrowers shall pay interest on any amount of principal of any Loan which is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, after as well as before judgment, accruing from the date such amount shall have become due to the date of payment thereof in full at the Default Rate. Interest after maturity shall be payable on demand. 4.4 Fees. The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, for their own respective accounts, on (i) the Closing Date the fees described in the Fee Letter, and (ii) on the first Principal Payment Date, the Unused Fee, if any. 4.5 Method of Calculating Interest and Fees. Interest calculated based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year consisting of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and paid for actual days elapsed, calculated as to each applicable period from the first day thereof to the last day thereof. All other interest and fees shall be computed on the basis of a year consisting of 360 days and paid for actual days elapsed, calculated as to each applicable period from the first day thereof to the last day thereof. SECTION 5. DEFAULTING LENDERS. 5.1 Defaulting Lenders. (a) Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law: (i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Xxxxxx’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as specified in the definition of “Majority Lenders” and Section 14.2. (ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 12 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 6.3 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any
33 amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrowers may request (so long as no Potential Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, so long as no Potential Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by a Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and fourth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or at a time when the conditions specified in Section 11.1 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans to Non-Defaulting Lenders are in proportion to its Percentage. 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 and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto. (b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions specified therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable Facility, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of either Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Xxxxxx’s having been a Defaulting Lender. SECTION 6. PAYMENTS, OFFSETS, PREPAYMENTS AND REDUCTION OR TERMINATION OF THE COMMITMENTS. 6.1 Payments Generally. Except as otherwise specified in this Agreement, all payments hereunder (including payments with respect to the Loans) shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and shall be made in coin or currency of the United States which at the time of payment shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private debts in immediately available funds by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, pro rata according to the unpaid principal amounts of the Loans held by them. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent, prior to 1:00 p.m. on the date due at the Administrative Agent’s Office or at such other place as may be designated by the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers
34 in writing. Any payment received after 1:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. The Administrative Agent shall promptly remit in immediately available funds to each Lender its share of all such payments received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or under any Note shall be stated to be due on a date other than a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of payment of interest or any fees. For purposes of the imposition of any tax (other than taxes on net income and franchises), levy, charge or withholding of any nature or any variation thereof or any penalty with respect to the maintenance or fulfillment of the Borrowers’ obligations under this Agreement, whether directly or by such being imposed on or suffered by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, all payments hereunder shall be made from sources within the United States by the Borrowers. Any payments or prepayments to be applied to the outstanding amount of any Loans shall be applied to the Loans held by the Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders ratably (based upon the outstanding amount of all Loans held by all Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders) until each Lender (including any Defaulting Lender) has its Percentage of all of the outstanding amount of the Loans, and the balance, if any, of such payments or prepayments shall be applied to the Loans of all Lenders in accordance with their respective Percentages. 6.2 Prepayments. (a) [Reserved]. (b) Optional. (i) General Prepayments. Each Borrower may from time to time (subject to the notice and minimum prepayment provisions set forth in this clause (i)), upon prior written or electronic notice, in the form attached as Exhibit G hereto, received by the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly advise each Lender thereof, in any case not later than one (1) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has received the notice) at least three (3) Business Days prior to any prepayment of Term SOFR Loans and one (1) Business Day prior to any prepayment of Base Rate Loans, prepay the principal of the Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (x) any partial prepayment of principal pursuant to this clause (b)(i) shall be in a minimum amount of $500,000 and (y) any prepayment of a Term SOFR Loan on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period therefor shall be subject to Section 7.3. (ii) Special Prepayments. Either Borrower may from time to time prepay without premium or penalty, except as provided in Section 7.3, any Loan pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.5. Any prepayment of the principal of the Loans pursuant to this clause (b)(ii) shall include accrued interest to the date of prepayment on the principal amount being prepaid. (c) Prepayments Generally; Application. (i) Any prepayment pursuant to Section 6.2(a) or 6.2(b) above shall be applied to such Loans as the applicable Borrower shall direct or, in the absence of
35 such direction: first, to any Term SOFR Loan with an Interest Period ending on the date of such prepayment, second, to any Base Rate Loans outstanding on such date, and third, to such other Loans as the Administrative Agent may reasonably determine. (ii) Each prepayment under this Section 6.2 shall be made together with accrued interest and any additional amount which is payable pursuant to Section 7.1, Section 7.3 or otherwise hereunder. (iii) Each prepayment under this Section 6.2 shall be applied to reduce all remaining scheduled Principal Payment Amounts (including the Principal Payment Amount due on the Maturity Date) by a fraction, stated as a percentage, the numerator of which is the amount of such prepayment and the denominator of which is equal to the aggregate unpaid principal balance of all Loans immediately prior to such prepayment. (iv) Each Borrower shall promptly confirm in writing any telephonic notice of prepayment in writing. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of any notice of a prepayment and of the amount of such Xxxxxx’s prepayment, in any case at the latest one Business Day after the Administrative Agent has received notice thereof. (v) For the avoidance of doubt, no prepayment of any portion of the principal balances of the Loans may be reborrowed by the Borrowers. 6.3 Offset. In addition to and not in limitation of all rights of offset that any Lender may have under applicable law, each Lender shall, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Section 12.1 or any Unmatured Event of Default described in Section 12.1(c), have the right to appropriate and apply to the payment of the Liabilities owing to it (whether or not due) any and all balances, credits, deposits, accounts or moneys of the Loan Parties then or thereafter with such Lender or any Affiliate thereof, and each such Affiliate is hereby irrevocably authorized to permit such setoff, provided that any such appropriation and application shall be subject to the provisions of Section 6.4. 6.4 Proration of Payments. If any Lender shall obtain any payment or other recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, by application of offset or otherwise) on account of any Loan in excess of its pro rata share of payments and other recoveries obtained by all Lenders on account of all Loans (including after giving effect to the loss of any payment or recovery by any other Lender), such Lender shall purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans held by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment or other recovery pro rata with each of them; provided that if all or any portion of the excess payment or other recovery is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest unless the Lender from which such payment is recovered is required to pay interest thereon, in which case each Lender which is required to restore such purchase price shall pay its pro rata share of such interest. The Borrowers agree that any Lender so purchasing a participation from the other Lenders under this Section 6.4 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment
36 (including the right of set-off pursuant to Section 6.3) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrowers in the amount of such participation. If under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this Section applies, such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Lenders entitled under this Section to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim. 6.5 [Reserved]. SECTION 7. ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS RELATING TO TERM SOFR LOANS; CAPITAL ADEQUACY; TAXES. 7.1 Increased Cost. (a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall: (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender; (ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or (iii) impose on any Lender any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or participation therein; and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or other Recipient, the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. (b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, to a level below that which such Lender or such Xxxxxx’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in
37 Law (taking into consideration such Xxxxxx’s policies and the policies of such Xxxxxx’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrowers will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Xxxxxx’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. (c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrowers shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof. (d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender Issuing Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine (9) months prior to the date that such Lender, notifies the Borrowers of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Xxxxxx’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine (9) month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). 7.2 Inability to Determine Rates If in connection with any request for a Term SOFR Loan or a conversion of Base Rate Loans to Term SOFR Loans or a continuation of any of such Loans, as applicable, (i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (A) no Successor Rate has been determined in accordance with Section 7.2(b), and the circumstances under clause (i) of Section 7.2(b) or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred, or (B) adequate and reasonable means do not otherwise exist for determining Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Term SOFR Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan, or (ii) the Administrative Agent or the Majority Lenders determine that for any reason that Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding, establishing or maintaining such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Lead Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Term SOFR Loans, or to convert Base Rate Loans to Term SOFR Loans, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Term SOFR Loans or Interest Periods), and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Term SOFR component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Term SOFR component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a determination by the Majority Lenders described in clause (ii) of this Section 7.1(a), until the Administrative Agent upon the instruction of the Majority Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, or conversion to, or continuation of Term SOFR Loans (to the extent of
38 the affected Term SOFR Loans or Interest Periods) 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 and (ii) any outstanding Term SOFR Loans shall be deemed to have been converted to Base Rate Loans immediately at the end of their respective applicable Interest Period. (b) Replacement of Term SOFR or Successor Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Borrowers or Majority Lenders notify the Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Majority Lenders, a copy to the Borrowers) that the Borrowers or Majority Lenders (as applicable) have determined, that: (i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining one month or three month interest periods of Term SOFR, including, without limitation, because the Term SOFR Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or (ii) CME or any successor administrator of the Term SOFR Screen Rate or an Official Body having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent or such administrator with respect to its publication of Term SOFR, in each case acting in such capacity, has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which one month and three month interest periods of Term SOFR or the Term SOFR Screen Rate shall or will no longer be made available, or permitted to be used for determining the interest rate of U.S. dollar denominated syndicated loans, or shall or will otherwise cease, provided that, at the time of such statement, there is no successor administrator that is satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, that will continue to provide such interest periods of Term SOFR after such specific date (the latest date on which one month and three month interest periods of Term SOFR or the Term SOFR Screen Rate are no longer available permanently or indefinitely, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”); then, on a date and time determined by the Administrative Agent (any such date, the “Term SOFR Replacement Date”), which date shall be at the end of an Interest Period or on the relevant Payment Date, as applicable, for interest calculated and, solely with respect to clause (ii) above, no later than the Scheduled Unavailability Date, Term SOFR will be replaced hereunder and under any Loan Document with Daily Simple SOFR plus the SOFR Adjustment for any payment period for interest calculated that can be determined by the Administrative Agent, in each case, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document (the “Successor Rate”). If the Successor Rate is Daily Simple SOFR plus the SOFR Adjustment, all interest payments will be payable on a monthly basis. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) if the Administrative Agent determines that Daily Simple SOFR is not available on or prior to the Term SOFR
39 Replacement Date, or (ii) if the events or circumstances of the type described in Section 7.2(b)(i) or (ii) have occurred with respect to the Successor Rate then in effect, then in each case, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers may amend this Agreement solely for the purpose of replacing Term SOFR or any then current Successor Rate in accordance with this Section 7.222 at the end of any Interest Period, relevant Payment Date or payment period for interest calculated, as applicable, with an alternative benchmark rate giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated credit facilities syndicated and agented in the United States for such alternative benchmark. and, in each case, including any mathematical or other adjustments to such benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated credit facilities syndicated and agented in the United States for such benchmark, which adjustment or method for calculating such adjustment shall be published on an information service as selected by the Administrative Agent from time to time in its reasonable discretion and may be periodically updated. For the avoidance of doubt, any such proposed rate and adjustments, shall constitute a “Successor Rate”. Any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrowers unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Majority Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Majority Lenders object to such amendment. The Administrative Agent will promptly (in one or more notices) notify the Lead Borrower and each Lender of the implementation of any Successor Rate. Any Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, such Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding anything else herein, if at any time any Successor Rate as so determined would otherwise be less than zero, the Successor Rate will be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In connection with the implementation and administration of a Successor Rate, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement; provided that, with respect to any such amendment effected, the Administrative Agent shall post each such amendment implementing such Conforming Changes to the Borrowers and the Lenders reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective. For purposes of this Section 7.2, those Lenders that either have not made, or do not have an obligation under this Agreement to make, the relevant Loans shall be excluded from any determination of Majority Lenders.
40 (c) Change in Law Rendering Term SOFR Loans Unlawful. If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Official Body has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to SOFR or Term SOFR, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon SOFR or Term SOFR, then, upon notice thereof by such Lender to the Lead Borrower (through the Administrative Agent), (a) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Term SOFR Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Term SOFR Loans shall be suspended, and (b) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Term SOFR component of the Base Rate, 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 Term SOFR component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Xxxxxx notifies the Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrowers shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Term SOFR 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 Term SOFR component of the Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Term SOFR Loan to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Term SOFR Loan and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon SOFR, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Term SOFR component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon SOFR. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 7.3. 7.3 Indemnity. The Borrowers will jointly and severally indemnify each Lender against any loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur, including any loss or expense sustained or incurred in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits or other funds acquired to effect, fund or maintain a Loan, due to (a) any failure by the Borrowers to make any payment when due of any amount due hereunder in connection with a Term SOFR Loan, (b) any payment or prepayment (including any prepayment pursuant to Section 7.3 or 7.5) of any Term SOFR Loan on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan, (c) any assignment of a Term SOFR Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 7.5, or (d) any failure to convert a Term SOFR Loan into a Base Rate Loan if required hereunder. If any Lender sustains or incurs any such loss or expense, it shall from time to time notify the Borrowers, in writing, of the amount determined in good faith by such Lender (which determination may include such assumptions, allocations of costs and expenses and averaging or attribution methods as such Lender shall deem reasonable) to be necessary to indemnify such Lender for such loss or expense. Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for such determination. Such amount shall be due and payable by the Borrowers to such Lender ten (10) Business Days after such notice is given.
41 7.4 Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 7.1, or either Borrower is or will be required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Official Body for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 7.6, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Lead Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 7.1 or Section 7.6, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. Each Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 7.5 Special Prepayment; Replacement of Lender. If any Lender makes any demand for payment of any amount pursuant to Sections 7.1, 7.2 or 7.6, gives any notice pursuant to Section 7.2 or 7.3 or is a Defaulting Lender (any such Lender, an “Affected Lender”), then the Borrowers may, with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, either (i) reduce or terminate the Commitments of such Affected Lender and immediately prepay the applicable outstanding Liabilities owed to such Affected Lender (or all outstanding Liabilities owed to such Affected Lender in the case of a termination) so that, after giving effect to such prepayment, such Affected Lender has a pro rata share (based on its revised Percentage after giving effect to such reduction) of the outstanding Loans, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and/or (ii) cause such Affected Lender to assign its Commitments, its Loans and its interest in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to one or more other Eligible Assignees (any such assignee, together with all Lenders other than such Affected Lender, the “Remaining Lenders”) selected by the Borrowers and acceptable to the Administrative Agent. Any assignment made pursuant to clause (ii) above shall be in accordance with Section 14.8 (but without giving effect to any provision of such Section which restricts the minimum or maximum amount which is permitted to be assigned). Any Affected Lender that is replaced pursuant to clause (ii) of this Section 7.5 shall be entitled to receive (x) from such Eligible Assignees to which its Commitments and Loans are assigned, its pro rata share (based on its Percentage prior to giving effect to such assignment) of the outstanding Loans and (y) from the Borrowers, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, any other outstanding Liabilities owed to such Lender (to the extent not paid pursuant to the immediately preceding clause (x)), and any additional amount which is payable pursuant to Section 7.1 or otherwise hereunder. If any reduction or termination of any Affected Lender’s Commitment is made pursuant to clause (i) above, then (A) the Aggregate Commitment Amount shall be reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the Commitment so reduced or terminated, and (B) each Remaining Lender’s (and, in the case of a reduction, such Affected Lender’s) share or percentage of the Aggregate Commitment Amount, as so reduced, shall be deemed proportionately adjusted; it being understood that the amount of any Xxxxxx’s Commitment (as opposed to any Lender’s share or percentage of the Aggregate Commitment Amount) shall not at any time be increased without the consent of such Lender. 7.6 Taxes.
42 (a) FATCA. For purposes of this Section 7.6, the term “applicable Law” includes FATCA. (b) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of either Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Law. If any applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Official Body in accordance with applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrowers shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding of Indemnified Taxes has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 7.6) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding of Indemnified Taxes been made. (c) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers. Each Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Official Body in accordance with applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes. (d) Indemnification by the Borrowers. The Borrowers shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes applicable to any Borrower (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 7.6) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Official Body. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Lead Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. (e) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that no Borrower has already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of each Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Xxxxxx’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 14.10 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Official Body. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the
43 Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 7.6(e). (f) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by a Borrower to an Official Body pursuant to this Section 7.6 the Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Official Body evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. (g) Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to a Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by a Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by a Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by a Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable such Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation specified in Section 7.6.(g)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. (ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that a Borrower is a U.S. Person, (1) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to such Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of such Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax; (2) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to such Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of such Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: a. in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest
44 under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN if applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN if applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty; b. executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI; c. in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrowers within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN if applicable); or d. to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W- 8BEN-E (or W-8BEN if applicable), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-2 or Exhibit H-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; (3) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to such Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of a Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit such Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and (4) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to a Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by a Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for such Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Xxxxxx has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.
45 Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify such Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. (h) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 7.6 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 7.6), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 7.6 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party incurred in connection with obtaining such refund and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Official Body with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 7.6 (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Official Body) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Official Body. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.6 (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 7.6 (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person. (i) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 7.6 shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Liabilities. SECTION 8. GUARANTY. 8.1 Guaranty. The Guarantor hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to the Administrative Agent the full and prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, upon acceleration, demand or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of the Liabilities and the punctual performance of all of the terms contained in the documents executed by a Borrower in favor of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the Liabilities. The agreement of the Guarantor herein is a guaranty of payment and performance and not merely as a guaranty of collection. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Liabilities shall include any such indebtedness, obligations and liabilities which may be or hereafter become unenforceable or shall be an allowed or disallowed claim under any proceeding or case commenced by or against Guarantor or a Borrower under any Debtor Relief Law, and shall
46 include interest that accrues after the commencement by or against any of the Borrowers of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws, in connection with this Agreement (including all renewals, extensions, amendments, refinancings and other modifications thereof and all attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the collection or enforcement thereof in accordance with Section 8.10 hereof). 8.2 No Setoff or Deductions; Taxes; Payments. Guarantor shall make all payments hereunder without setoff or counterclaim and free and clear of and without deduction for any taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, withholdings, compulsory loans, restrictions or conditions of any nature now or hereafter imposed or levied by any jurisdiction or any political subdivision thereof or taxing or other authority therein unless the Guarantor is compelled by law to make such deduction or withholding. If any such obligation (other than one arising with respect to taxes based on or measured by the income or profits of the Lenders) is imposed upon Guarantor with respect to any amount payable by it hereunder, Guarantor will pay to each Lender, on the date on which such amount is due and payable hereunder, such additional amount in U.S. dollars as shall be necessary to enable such Lender to receive the same net amount which such Lender would have received on such due date had no such obligation been imposed upon Guarantor. Guarantor will deliver promptly to the Administrative Agent certificates or other valid vouchers for all taxes or other charges deducted from or paid with respect to payments made by Guarantor hereunder. The obligations of Guarantor under this paragraph shall survive the payment in full of the Liabilities and termination of this Agreement. 8.3 Rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. Guarantor consents and agrees that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may, at any time and from time to time, without notice or demand, and without affecting the enforceability or continuing effectiveness hereof: (a) amend, extend, renew, compromise, discharge, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment or the terms of the Liabilities or any part thereof; (b) take, hold, exchange, enforce, waive, release, fail to perfect, sell, or otherwise dispose of any security for the payment of this Agreement or any Liabilities; and (c) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion may determine. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Guarantor consents to the taking of, or failure to take, any action which might in any manner or to any extent vary the risks of Guarantor under this Agreement or which, but for this provision, might operate as a discharge of Guarantor. 8.4 Certain Waivers. The Guarantor waives to the fullest extent permitted by law (a) any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of any Borrower, or the cessation from any cause whatsoever (including any act or omission of any Lender or the Administrative Agent) of the liability of any Borrower; (b) any defense based on any claim that Guarantor’s obligations exceed or are more burdensome than those of any Borrower; (c) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting Guarantor’s liability hereunder; (d) any right to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to proceed against any Borrower, proceed against or exhaust any security for the Liabilities, or pursue any other remedy in the Administrative Agent’s or any Xxxxxx’s power whatsoever and any defense based upon the doctrines of marshalling of assets or of election of remedies; (e) any benefit of and any right to participate in any security now or hereafter held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender; (f) any fact or circumstance related to the Liabilities which might otherwise constitute a defense to the obligations of Guarantor under this Agreement; and (g) to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all other defenses or benefits
47 that may be derived from or afforded by applicable law limiting the liability of or exonerating guarantors or sureties, other than the defense that the Liabilities have been fully performed, and the Liabilities and any other amounts payable under this Agreement, have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash. Guarantor expressly waives all setoffs and counterclaims and all presentments, demands for payment or performance, notices of nonpayment or nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and all other notices or demands of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the Liabilities, and all notices of acceptance of this guaranty or of the existence, creation or incurrence of new or additional Liabilities. The guaranty of the Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Liabilities or any instrument or agreement evidencing any Liabilities, or by the existence, validity, enforceability, perfection, non-perfection or extent of any collateral therefor, or by any fact or circumstance relating to the Liabilities which might otherwise constitute a defense to the obligations of Guarantor under this guaranty, and Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to any or all of the foregoing. 8.5 Obligations Independent. The obligations of Guarantor hereunder are those of primary obligor, and not merely as surety, and a separate action may be brought against Guarantor to enforce this guaranty whether or not any Borrower or any other person or entity is joined as a party. 8.6 Subrogation. Guarantor shall not exercise any right of subrogation, contribution, indemnity, reimbursement or similar rights with respect to any payments it makes under this guaranty until all of the Liabilities and any amounts payable under this Agreement have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full and any commitments of the Lenders or facilities provided by the Lenders with respect to the Liabilities are terminated. If any amounts are paid to Guarantor in violation of the foregoing limitation, then such amounts shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Lenders and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent to reduce the amount of the Liabilities, whether matured or unmatured. 8.7 Termination; Reinstatement. This guaranty is a continuing and irrevocable guaranty of all Liabilities now or hereafter existing and shall remain in full force and effect until all Liabilities and any other amounts payable under this Agreement are indefeasibly paid in full in cash and any commitments of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any of them or facilities provided by the Lenders or any of them with respect to the Liabilities are terminated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 8 shall continue in full force and effect or be revived, as the case may be, if any payment by or on behalf of any Borrower or Guarantor is made, or the Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, in respect of the Liabilities and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws or otherwise, all as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred and whether or not the Administrative Agent or such Lender is in possession of or has released this guaranty and regardless of any prior revocation, rescission, termination or reduction. The obligations of Guarantor under this paragraph shall survive termination of this Agreement.
48 8.8 Subordination. Guarantor hereby subordinates the payment of all obligations and indebtedness of any Borrower owing to Guarantor, whether now existing or hereafter arising, including but not limited to any obligation of any Borrower to Guarantor as subrogee of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders or resulting from Guarantor’s performance under this Section 8, to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all Liabilities. If the Administrative Agent so requests while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any such obligation or indebtedness of any Borrower to Guarantor shall be enforced and performance received by Guarantor as trustee for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and the proceeds thereof shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent on account of the Liabilities, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of Guarantor under this Section 8. 8.9 Stay of Acceleration. In the event that acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Liabilities is stayed, in connection with any case commenced by or against any Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Laws, or otherwise, all such amounts shall nonetheless be payable by Guarantor immediately upon demand by the Administrative Agent. 8.10 Miscellaneous. The Administrative Agent’s and each Xxxxxx’s books and records showing the amount of the Liabilities shall be admissible in evidence in any action or proceeding, and shall be binding upon Guarantor and conclusive, absent manifest error for the purpose of establishing the amount of the Liabilities. No failure by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy or power hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law or in equity. The unenforceability or invalidity of any provision of this guaranty shall not affect the enforceability or validity of any other provision herein. 8.11 Condition of Borrowers. Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that it has the sole responsibility for, and has adequate means of, obtaining from each Borrower such information concerning the financial condition, business and operations of each Borrower as Guarantor requires, and that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have no duty, and Guarantor is not relying on the Administrative Agent or any Lender at any time, to disclose to Guarantor any information relating to the business, operations or financial condition of any Borrower (the Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to disclose such information and any defense relating to the failure to provide the same).

Each Loan Party and all of its Restricted Subsidiaries are duly organized, validly existing and in good standing (or its equivalent) under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization except where the failure to be so duly organized, validly existing and in good standing, either individually or in the aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Loan Party and all of its respective Restricted Subsidiaries are each in good standing (or its equivalent) and are duly qualified to do business in each jurisdiction where, because of the

Default in the payment, when due, (i) of any principal of any Loan (including any mandatory prepayment) or (ii) of any interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable hereunder and the continuance thereof for five (5) days; provided, however, the Borrowers shall be entitled to make such principal payment or mandatory prepayment on the next succeeding Business Day if (x) such payment is due on a Payment Date or Maturity Date that is not a Business Day or (y) the Borrowers fail to make such payment on its due date as the result of an administrative or technical error not caused by the Borrowers. (b) Default or Acceleration of other Indebtedness. A default or event of default shall occur at any time under the terms of any other agreement involving any Indebtedness under which the Guarantor, a Borrower or any Subsidiary of a Borrower may be obligated as a borrower or guarantor, which individually or in the aggregate, exceeds $100,000,000 (other than (i) any Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary of such Borrower to such Borrower or to any other Restricted Subsidiary of such Borrower and (ii) a default described in Section 12.1(a)), and such breach, default or event of default consists of either (1) the failure to pay (any required notice of default having been given and any period of grace permitted with respect thereto having expired) any Indebtedness when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, required mandatory prepayment or otherwise), or (2) a breach of a financial covenant thereunder. (c) Insolvency.

(d) ERISA. A Termination Event occurs with respect to any Pension Plan that, alone or together with any other Termination Events that occurred, would reasonably be expected to result in material liability of the Borrowers in an aggregate amount exceeding $100,000,000. (e) Specific Defaults. Failure by a Loan Party to comply with or perform any covenant set forth in (i) Section 10.2(a), 10.10, 10.11, 10.15, 10.16, 10.17, 10.23, 10.25, 10.28, 10.29, or 10.30 or (ii) Section 10.5, 10.18, 10.19, 10.22, and 10.26 and, in the case of this clause (e)(ii), such failure to comply shall continue for ten (10) Business Days after the earlier of (x) the date upon which an Authorized Officer of the Loan Parties or any

(f) Other Defaults; Obligations Under other Loan Documents. Default in the performance of any Loan Party’s agreements herein set forth or in any other Loan Document (subject to any applicable grace period in any such Loan Document) in any material respect (and not constituting an Event of Default under any of the other clauses of this Section 12.1) and continuance of such default for thirty (30) days after the earlier of (i) the date upon which an Authorized Officer of a Loan Party or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries had actual knowledge of such default or (ii) the date upon which written notice thereof is given to a Loan Party by the Administrative Agent or any Lender. (g) Representations and Warranties. Any representation or warranty of a Loan Party made in any Loan Document or any schedules, notices, certificates, reports or instruments delivered in connection therewith shall prove incorrect in any material respect when made and which (if curable) remains unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after the first date on which an Authorized Officer has received written notice thereof. (h) Change of Control. A Change of Control shall occur. (i) Final Judgments and Orders. There shall be entered against any Loan Party or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries one or more judgments or decrees which in the aggregate are in excess of the greater of (x) $100,000,000 and (y) 3.0% of the Consolidated Tangible Net Worth in the aggregate at any one time outstanding (excluding any judgments or decrees (i) that shall have been outstanding less than sixty (60) calendar days from the entry thereof or (ii) for and to the extent which the Loan Parties or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary is insured and with respect to which the insurer has assumed responsibility therefor in writing or for and to the extent which such Person is otherwise indemnified if the terms of such indemnification are satisfactory to the Majority Lenders), and either (A) enforcement proceedings shall have been commenced by any creditor upon such judgment or order or (B) there shall be any period of thirty (30) consecutive days during which a stay of enforcement of such judgment or order, by reason of a pending appeal or otherwise, shall not be in effect. 12.2 Remedies. If any Event of Default described in Section 12.1 shall exist, the Administrative Agent may, or upon request of the Majority Lenders, declare all or a portion of the Commitments to be terminated and/or all or a portion of the Loans and other Liabilities to be due and payable, whereupon to the extent so declared the Commitments shall immediately terminate and/or the outstanding Loans and other Liabilities shall become immediately due and payable, all without notice of any kind (except that if an event described in Section 12.1(c) occurs, the Commitments shall immediately terminate and all outstanding Loans and other Liabilities shall become immediately due and payable without declaration or notice of any kind). The Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the Lead Borrower of any such declaration, but failure to do so shall not impair the effect of such declaration. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 12.2, if an Event of Default exists, the Administrative Agent may exercise all rights and remedies available upon an Event of Default pursuant to any Loan Document and applicable law.
66 12.3 Application of Proceeds. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, proceeds from the exercise of its rights hereunder and received by the Administrative Agent pursuant thereto shall be applied as follows: (a) First, to the payment of, or (as the case may be) the reimbursement of the Administrative Agent for or in respect of all reasonable and documented costs, expenses, disbursements and losses which shall have been incurred or sustained by the Administrative Agent in connection with the collection of such monies by the Administrative Agent, for the exercise, protection or enforcement by the Administrative Agent of all or any of the rights, remedies, powers and privileges of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; (b) Second, to all other obligations hereunder; provided that distributions shall be made (A) with respect to any fees owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, ratably among the Administrative Agent and any Lenders to which such fees are owed, and (B) with respect to each type of other Liabilities owing to the Lenders such as interest, principal, fees and expenses, ratably among the Lenders, and (C) otherwise in such order or preference as the Majority Lenders may determine. In determining the obligations under this Agreement for purposes of clauses (A) and (B), the Administrative Agent may in its reasonable discretion make proper allowance to take into account any obligations hereunder not then due and payable; and (c) Third, the excess, if any, shall be returned to the Borrowers or to such other Persons as are entitled thereto. SECTION 13. ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. 13.1 Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints PNC Bank to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and, subject to obtaining any consent of the requisite Lenders pursuant to Section 14.2(a), take such other actions on its behalf and exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Section 13.1 are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and the Loan Parties shall not have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. 13.2 Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.
67 13.3 Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: (a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; (b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Majority 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; and (c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Loan Parties or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 14.2 and 12.2) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default is given to the Administrative Agent in writing by a Loan Party or a Lender. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 11 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. 13.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have
68 been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for a Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. 13.5 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Section 13.5 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. 13.6 Resignation of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Lead Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Majority Lenders shall have the right, with approval from the Lead Borrower (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States that in each case is a Lender. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Majority Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section 13.6. Upon the acceptance of a successor's appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between each Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent's resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions
69 of this Section 13.6 and Section 14.5 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent. Upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of PNC Bank as the retiring Administrative Agent and PNC Bank shall be discharged from all of its respective duties and obligations as Administrative Agent under the Loan. 13.7 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. 13.8 No Other Duties, Etc.. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Joint Lead Arrangers, Co-Syndication Agents, Co-Documentation Agents or the Bookrunner listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, or a Lender hereunder. 13.9 Administrative Agent's Fee. The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent a nonrefundable fee under the terms of the Fee Letter. 13.10 [Reserved]. 13.11 No Reliance on Administrative Agent's Customer Identification Program. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender, nor any of its Affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on the Administrative Agent to carry out such Lender's, Affiliate's, participant's or assignee's customer identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the USA Patriot Act or the regulations thereunder, including the regulations contained in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the “CIP Regulations”), or any other Anti-Terrorism Law, including any programs involving any of the following items relating to or in connection with any of the Borrowers, its Affiliates or their agents, the Loan Documents or the transactions hereunder or contemplated hereby: (i) any identity verification procedures, (ii) any recordkeeping, (iii) comparisons with government lists, (iv) customer notices or (v) other procedures required under the CIP Regulations or such other Laws. 13.12 Funding Reliance. (a) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of Term SOFR Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 11:00 a.m. on the date of such Borrowing) that
70 such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Xxxxxx’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.3(b) (or, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.3(b)) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrowers to the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Open Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the Borrowers and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrowers the amount of such interest paid by the Borrowers for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by a Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim a Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent. (b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrowers prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to it to the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Open Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 13.13 Erroneous Payments. (a) Each Lender hereby agrees that (i) if the Administrative Agent notifies such Lender that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Lender from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Lender (whether or not known to such Lender (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise), individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Lender shall promptly, but in no event later than one (1) Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment
71 (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Open Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect, and (ii) such Lender shall not assert any right or claim to the Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payments received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. (b) Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender hereby further agrees that if it receives an Erroneous Payment from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (i) that is in an amount different than (other than a de minimis difference), or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Erroneous Payment (an “Erroneous Payment Notice”), or (ii) that was not preceded or accompanied by an Erroneous Payment Notice, it shall be on notice that, in each such case, an error has been made with respect to such Erroneous Payment. Each Lender further agrees that, in each such case, or if it otherwise becomes aware an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) may have been sent in error, such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in no event later than one (1) Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) that was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Open Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. (c) The parties hereto agree that (i) in the event an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Lender with respect to such amount and (ii) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Liabilities owed by the Borrowers, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrowers for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment. (d) Each party’s obligations under this Section 13.13 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Liabilities (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.
72 SECTION 14. GENERAL. 14.1 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies; Enforcement. No failure by any Lender or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided, and provided under each other Loan Document, are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law. 14.2 Waivers and Amendments. (a) Generally. Except as otherwise specifically provided for in this Agreement, no amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to, any provision of this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed and delivered by the Majority Lenders and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent, and then any such amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided that no amendment, waiver or consent shall: (i) unless consented to by each Lender affected thereby, (A) increase or extend a Commitment of any Lender or subject any Lender to any additional obligation, (B) reduce the principal of, or rate of interest on, any Loan or any fee or other Liability payable hereunder (provided that any (x) change in the definition, or component thereof, of any ratio used in the calculation of such principal, rate of interest, fee or other Liability payable hereunder, (y) waiver or amendment in respect of a default rate of interest, or (z) change in the mandatory prepayment requirements, shall not, in each case, constitute a reduction in the principal of, or rate of interest on, any Loan or any fee or other Liability payable hereunder), or (C) postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, any Loan or any fee or other Liability hereunder; (ii) unless consented to by each Lender, (A) waive any condition specified in Section 11.1, (B) change the Percentages or the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans, or the number of Lenders which shall be required to take action hereunder, or the definition of “Majority Lenders”, (C) change Section 6.1, Section 6.4 or Section 12.3, in each case, in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, or (D) change any provision of this Section 14.2; or (iii) No provision of this Agreement (including Section 13) or of any other Loan Document which relates to the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent shall be amended, modified or waived without the written consent of the Administrative Agent.
73 (b) (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender will have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (1) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender and (2) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders will require the consent of such Defaulting Lender. 14.3 Notices. (a) Notices Generally. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any notice hereunder to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall be in writing (including facsimile communication) and shall be given (i) if to a Loan Party or the Administrative Agent, at its address or facsimile number set forth on Schedule 10.2, and (ii) if to any Lender, at its address or facsimile number set forth in its Administrative Questionnaire or, in each case, at such other address or facsimile number as the recipient may, by written notice, designate as its address or facsimile number for purposes of notices hereunder. All such notices shall be deemed to be given when transmitted by facsimile, when personally delivered or, in the case of a mailed notice, when sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, in each case addressed as specified in this Section 14.3; provided that notices to the Administrative Agent under Section 2, Section 6 and this Section 14.3 shall not be effective until actually received by the Administrative Agent. (b) Electronic Communications. Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender pursuant to Section 2 if such Lender, as applicable, has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication. The Administrative Agent or each Loan Party may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), provided that if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient, and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor.

Each Loan Party hereby acknowledges that the Administrative Agent and will make available to the Lenders materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of the Loan Parties hereunder (collectively, “Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on IntraLinks or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”). THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE BORROWER MATERIALS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Administrative Agent Parties”) have any liability to either Borrower, any Lender or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrowers’ or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Borrower Materials through the Internet, except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Administrative Agent Party; provided that in no event shall any Administrative Agent Party have any liability to any Loan Party, any Lender or any other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages). (d) Reliance by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic notices, Loan Requests) purportedly given by or on behalf of a Loan Party even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. Each Loan Party shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Related Parties of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of each Loan Party. All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording. 14.4 USA Patriot Act Notice. Each Lender that is subject to the USA Patriot Act and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Loan Parties, which information includes the name and address the Loan Parties and other information that will allow such Lender or Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Loan Parties in accordance with the USA Patriot Act.

This Section
76 14.5 shall not apply with respect to any Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim. (c) To the extent that a Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under clause (a) or (b) above to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Xxxxxx’s Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause (c) are several and not joint. (d) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no party hereto shall assert, and each party hereto hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in clause (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. (e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable on demand. (f) The agreements in this Section and the indemnity provisions in Section 14.3(d) shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 14.6 Governing Law; Entire Agreement. THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. All obligations of the Borrowers and rights of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent expressed herein, in the Notes or in any other Loan Document shall be in addition to and not in limitation of those provided by applicable law. This Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede any prior agreements, written or oral, with respect thereto. 14.7 Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns
77 permitted hereby, except that no Loan Party shall assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.8, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.10, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 14.11 (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 14.10 and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 14.8 Assignments by Xxxxxxx. (a) Assignments by Xxxxxxx. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions: (i) Minimum Amounts. (A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender's applicable Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and (B) in any case not described in clause (i)(A) of this Section 14.8, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption Agreement with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if the “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $10,000,000, in the case of the Loan of such assigning Lender, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Lead Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). (ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Xxxxxx's rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan assigned. (iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except for the consent of the Administrative Agent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to the extent that such assignment is to a Person other than another Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund and the consent of the Borrowers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed)
78 shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and (iv) Assignment and Assumption Agreement. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, together with a processing and recordation fee of $5,000 (unless waived by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), and the Eligible Assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire provided by the Administrative Agent. (v) No Assignment to Borrower. No such assignment shall be made to a Borrower or any Affiliate or Subsidiary of a Borrower. (vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated by or for the primary benefit of a natural Person). Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 14.9, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement covering all of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 7.1, 7.2, and 14.5 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment provided that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Xxxxxx having been a Defaulting Lender. If requested by the assignee Lender, each Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 14.8 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 14.10. (b) Disqualified Persons. (i) No assignment or participation shall be made to, and no portion of any Commitment Increase shall be provided by, any Person that was a Disqualified Person as of the date (the “Trade Date”) on which the assigning Lender entered into a binding agreement to sell and assign or participate all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to such Person or the applicable Increase Effective Date, as the case may be (unless the Borrowers (in their sole and absolute discretion) have consented, in writing, to such assignment or the portion of the
79 Commitment Increase to be provided by such Disqualified Person, in which case such Person will not be considered a Disqualified Person for the purpose of such assignment, participation or Commitment Increase). For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any assignee or participant or any Lender that provides any portion of a Commitment Increase that becomes a Disqualified Person after the applicable Trade Date (including as a result of the delivery of a notice pursuant to, and/or the expiration of the notice period referred to in, the definition of “Disqualified Person”), (x) such assignee or Lender shall not retroactively be disqualified from becoming a Lender or participant and (y) the execution by the Borrowers of an Assignment and Assumption or Joinder Agreement with respect to such assignee will not by itself result in such assignee no longer being considered a Disqualified Person. Any assignment or Commitment Increase in violation of this clause (b)(i) shall not be void, but the other provisions of this clause (b) shall apply. (ii) If any assignment or participation is made to, or any portion of a Commitment Increase is provided by, any Disqualified Person without the Borrowers’ prior written consent in violation of clause (i) above, or if any Person becomes a Disqualified Person after the applicable Trade Date, the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Person and the Administrative Agent, (A) terminate the Commitment of such Disqualified Person and repay all obligations of the Borrowers owing to such Disqualified Person in connection with such Commitment and/or (B) require such Disqualified Person to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this Section), all of its interest, rights and obligations under this Agreement and related Loan Documents to one or more Eligible Assignees that shall assume such obligations at the lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Person paid to acquire such interests, rights and obligations, in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder and the Loan Documents. (iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Disqualified Persons (A) will not (x) have the right to receive information, reports or other materials provided to Lenders by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, (y) attend or participate in meetings attended by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, or (z) access any electronic site established for the Lenders or confidential communications from counsel to or financial advisors of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders and (B) (x) for purposes of any consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of, or any action under, and for the purpose of any direction to the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, each Disqualified Person will be deemed to have consented in the same proportion as the Lenders that are not Disqualified Persons consented to such matter, and (y) for purposes of voting on any Debtor Relief Plan, each Disqualified Person party hereto hereby agrees (1) not to vote on such Debtor Relief Plan, (2) if such Disqualified Person does vote on such Debtor Relief Plan notwithstanding the restriction in the foregoing clause (1), such vote
80 will be deemed not to be in good faith and shall be “designated” pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws), and such vote shall not be counted in determining whether the applicable class has accepted or rejected such Debtor Relief Plan in accordance with Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws) and (3) not to contest any request by any party for a determination by the Bankruptcy Court (or other applicable court of competent jurisdiction) effectuating the foregoing clause (2). (iv) The Administrative Agent shall have the right, and the Borrowers hereby expressly authorize the Administrative Agent, to (A) post the list of Disqualified Persons provided by the Borrowers and any updates thereto from time to time (collectively, the “DQ List”) on the Platform, including that portion of the Platform that is designated for “public side” Lenders and/or (B) provide the DQ List to each Lender requesting the same. 14.9 Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain a record of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). Such Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is in such Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. Such Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 14.10 Participation. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than to (w) a natural person, or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of a natural Person, (x) a Defaulting Lender, (y) a Borrower or any of the Borrower's Affiliates or Subsidiaries or (z) a Disqualified Person) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender's rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) such Participant shall be bound by Section 14.20 and (iv) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 14.5(b) without regard to the existence of any participation. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree (other than as is already provided for herein) to any amendment, modification or waiver with respect to Sections 14.2(a)(i) or 14.2(a)(iii) that affects such Participant. The Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 and
81 7.6 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 14.8; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 7.4 and 7.5 as if it were an assignee under Section 14.8; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 7.1 or 7.6, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrowers’ request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrowers to effectuate the provisions of Sections 7.4 and 7.5 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 6.3 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 6.4 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, 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 in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant's interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. 14.11 Certain Pledges; Successors and Assigns Generally. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, the European Central or any other applicable central bank or Official Body; 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. 14.12 Survival. The obligations of the Borrowers under Sections 7 and 14.5, and the obligations of the Lenders under Section 14.5(c), shall in each case survive any termination of this Agreement, the payment in full of all Liabilities and the termination of all Commitments. The representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in this Agreement and in each other Loan Document shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and each such other Loan Document. 14.13 Effect of Amendment and Restatement. (a) This Agreement is an amendment and restatement of the terms and provisions of the Existing Term Loan Agreement. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement by any Loan Party or any Lender, nor any of the terms or provisions
82 contained herein, shall be construed to be a payment on or with respect to the Indebtedness outstanding under the Existing Term Loan Agreement. (b) When counterparts executed by all the parties shall have been lodged with the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of any Lender as to which an executed counterpart shall not have been so lodged, the Administrative Agent shall have received facsimile or other written confirmation from such Lender) and all of the conditions set forth in Section 11 shall have been satisfied, this Agreement shall become effective as of the date hereof, and at such time the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lead Borrower and each Lender. (c) The Loan Parties, the Lenders that are party to the Existing Term Loan Agreement and PNC Bank, National Association, as administrative agent under the Existing Term Loan Agreement, acknowledge and agree that upon the effectiveness of this Agreement on the Closing Date, the Existing Term Loan Agreement shall be superseded by this Agreement, and shall terminate and be of no further force or effect (except that any provision thereof which by its terms survives termination thereof shall continue in full force and effect for the benefit of the applicable party or parties), all without any other action by any Person. 14.14 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 14.15 Execution in Counterparts, Effectiveness, Etc.. This Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall constitute together but one and the same Agreement. Delivery of a counterpart hereof, or a signature page hereto, by facsimile or in a .pdf or similar file shall be effective as delivery of a manually-executed original counterpart hereof. 14.16 Investment. Each Lender represents and warrants that: (a) it is acquiring any Note to be issued to it hereunder for its own account as a result of making a loan in the ordinary course of its commercial banking or lending business and not with a view to the public distribution or sale thereof, nor with any present intention of selling or distributing such Note, but subject, nevertheless, to possible assignments or participations thereof pursuant to Section 14.8 and to any legal or administrative requirement that the disposition of such Lender’s property at all times be within its control, and (b) in good faith it has not and will not rely upon any margin stock (as such term is defined in Regulation U of the FRB) as collateral in the making and maintaining of its Loans. 14.17 Other Transactions. Nothing contained herein shall preclude the Administrative Agent or any other Lender from engaging in any transaction, in addition to those contemplated by
83 this Agreement or any other Loan Document, with either Borrower or any of its Affiliates in which such Borrower or such Affiliate is not restricted hereby from engaging with any other Person. 14.18 Forum Selection and Consent to Jurisdiction. ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY LENDER OR THE LOAN PARTIES SHALL BE BROUGHT AND MAINTAINED EXCLUSIVELY IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK. EACH BORROWER HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK FOR THE PURPOSE OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION AS SET FORTH ABOVE AND IRREVOCABLY AGREES TO BE BOUND BY ANY JUDGMENT RENDERED THEREBY IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH LITIGATION. EACH LOAN PARTY FURTHER IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS BY REGISTERED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, OR BY PERSONAL SERVICE WITHIN OR WITHOUT THE STATE OF NEW YORK. EACH LOAN PARTY HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT REFERRED TO ABOVE AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH LITIGATION HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. TO THE EXTENT THAT A LOAN PARTY HAS OR HEREAFTER MAY ACQUIRE ANY IMMUNITY FROM JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT OR FROM ANY LEGAL PROCESS (WHETHER THROUGH SERVICE OR NOTICE, ATTACHMENT PRIOR TO JUDGMENT, ATTACHMENT IN AID OF EXECUTION OR OTHERWISE) WITH RESPECT TO ITSELF OR ITS PROPERTY, SUCH LOAN PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES SUCH IMMUNITY IN RESPECT OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. 14.19 Waiver of Jury Trial. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE LENDERS AND EACH LOAN PARTY HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHTS THEY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE LENDERS OR A LOAN PARTY. EACH LOAN PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT IT HAS RECEIVED FULL AND SUFFICIENT CONSIDERATION FOR THIS PROVISION (AND EACH OTHER PROVISION OF EACH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT TO WHICH IT IS A PARTY) AND THAT THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT. 14.20 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and each Xxxxxx agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined
84 below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives (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 regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) 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, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrowers and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrowers or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than a Borrower. For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information of a non-public, confidential and proprietary nature received from a Loan Party or any Subsidiary relating to such Loan Party or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by such Loan Party or any Subsidiary. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders acknowledge that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning a Loan Party or a Subsidiary thereof, 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 Federal and state securities laws. 14.21 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 the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrowers. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative 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.
85 14.22 Payments Set Aside.

87 Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.
