For purposes of determining compliance with Article X, in the event that any Lien, Investment, Indebtedness (whether at the time of incurrence or upon application of all or a portion of the proceeds thereof), Asset Sales, dispositions, Restricted Payment, Affiliate transaction or payment or prepayment of Indebtedness meets the criteria of one, or more than one, of the “baskets” or categories of transactions then permitted pursuant to any clause or subsection of (i) Section 10.01 (solely in the case of Indebtedness), (ii) Section 10.02 (solely in the case of Liens), (iii) Section 10.04 (solely in the case of Investments), (iv) Section 10.05 (solely in the case of Asset Sales and other dispositions), (v) Section 10.06 (solely in the case of Restricted Payments), (vi) Section 10.07 (solely in the case of Affiliate transactions), or (vii) Section 10.09 (solely in the case of payment or prepayment of Indebtedness), such transaction (or any portion thereof) at any time shall be permitted under one or more of such “baskets” or categories of such Section at the time of such transaction or any later time from time to time, in each case, as determined by Borrower in its sole discretion at such time and thereafter may be reclassified or divided (as if incurred at such later time) by Borrower in any manner not expressly prohibited by this Agreement, and such Lien, Investment, Indebtedness, Asset Sales, dispositions, Restricted Payment, Affiliate transaction or payment or prepayment of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) shall be treated as having been incurred or existing pursuant to only such “basket” or category of transactions or “baskets” or categories of transactions (or any portion thereof) of such Section without giving pro forma effect to such item (or portion thereof) when calculating the amount of Liens, Investments, Indebtedness, Asset Sales, dispositions, Restricted Payments, Affiliate transactions or payments or prepayments of Indebtedness, as applicable, that may be incurred pursuant to any other “basket” or category of transactions of such Section. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 1.05(b) shall only permit redesignation and reclassification of certain “baskets” or categories within the same Section of Article X.
SECTION 1.01.    Pro Forma Calculations.
(a)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Consolidated EBITDA, the Consolidated First Lien Secured Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio and the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio shall be calculated in the manner prescribed by this Section 1.06.
(b)    For purposes of calculating Consolidated EBITDA, the Consolidated First Lien Secured Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio and the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio, Specified Transactions (and the incurrence or repayment of any Indebtedness in connection therewith) that have been made (i) during the applicable Test Period and (ii) subsequent to such Test Period and prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio is made shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming that all such Specified Transactions (and any increase or decrease in Consolidated EBITDA and the component financial definitions used therein attributable to any Specified Transaction) had occurred on the first day of the applicable Test Period. If, since the beginning of any applicable Test Period, any Person that subsequently became a Credit Party or was merged, amalgamated, or consolidated with or into a Credit Party since the beginning of such Test Period shall have made any Specified Transaction that would have required adjustment pursuant to this Section 1.06, then Consolidated EBITDA and the Consolidated First Lien Secured Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio and the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio shall be calculated to give pro forma effect thereto in accordance with this Section 1.06.
(c)    Whenever pro forma effect is to be given to a Specified Transaction, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a Responsible Officer of Borrower and include, for the avoidance of doubt, the amount of cost savings, operating expense reductions and synergies projected by Borrower in good faith to be realized as a result of specified actions taken or with respect to which steps have been initiated, or are reasonably expected to be initiated within fifteen (15) months of the closing date of such Specified Transaction (in the good faith determination of Borrower) (calculated on a pro forma basis as though such cost savings, operating expense reductions and synergies had been realized during the entirety of the applicable period), net of the amount of actual benefits realized during such period from such actions; provided that, with respect to any such cost savings, operating expense reductions and synergies, the limitations and requirements set forth in clause (c) of the definitions of Consolidated EBITDA (other than the requirement set forth in clause (c) of Consolidated EBITDA that steps have been initiated or taken) shall apply; provided, further, that the aggregate amount of additions made to Consolidated EBITDA for any Test Period pursuant to this clause (c) and clause (c) of the definition of “Consolidated EBITDA” shall not (i) exceed 20.0% of Consolidated EBITDA for such Test Period (after giving effect to this clause (c) and clause (c) of the definition of “Consolidated EBITDA”) or (ii) be duplicative of one another.
(d)    In the event that any Credit Party incurs (including by assumption or guarantees) or repays (including by redemption, repayment, prepayment, retirement, exchange or extinguishment) any Indebtedness included in the calculations of Consolidated EBITDA, the Consolidated First Lien Secured Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio and the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio, as the case may be (in each case, other than Indebtedness incurred or repaid under any revolving credit facility), (i) during the applicable Test Period and/or (ii) subsequent to the end of the applicable Test Period and prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio is made, then Consolidated EBITDA, the Consolidated First Lien Secured Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio and the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such incurrence or repayment of Indebtedness, to the extent required, as if the same had occurred on the last day of the applicable Test Period in the case of Consolidated EBITDA, the Consolidated First Lien Secured Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio or the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio.
SECTION 1.02.    Limited Condition Transactions. For purposes of (i) determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document which requires the calculation of the Consolidated First Lien Secured Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio and/or the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio, (ii) determining compliance with representations, warranties, Defaults or Events of Default or (iii) testing availability under baskets set forth in this Agreement or any other Credit Document (including baskets measured as a percentage of Consolidated EBITDA), in each case, in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction (a “Limited Condition Transaction” shall be defined as (x) any Permitted Acquisition or other acquisition or Investment not prohibited hereunder (including repayment of Indebtedness of the Person acquired, or that is secured by the assets acquired, in such Permitted Acquisition or other acquisition) whose consummation is not conditioned upon the availability of, or on obtaining, third party financing, or (y) any unconditional repayment or redemption of, or irrevocable offer to purchase, any Indebtedness), at the option of Borrower (Borrower’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction, an “LCT Election”), the date of determination of whether any such action is permitted under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall be deemed to be the date the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Transaction are entered into (the “LCT Test Date”), and if, after giving effect on a Pro Forma Basis to the Limited Condition Transaction and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith as if they had occurred at the beginning of the most recent Test Period ending prior to the LCT Test Date, Borrower could have taken such action on the relevant LCT Test Date in compliance with such representation, warranty, ratio or basket, such representation, warranty, ratio or basket shall be deemed to have been complied with. For the avoidance of doubt, if Borrower has made an LCT Election and any of the ratios or baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCT Test Date are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio or basket (including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA of Borrower or the Person subject to such Limited Condition Transaction) at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such baskets or ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations. If Borrower has made an LCT Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of ratios or baskets on or following the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of (i) the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or (ii) the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such ratio or basket shall be calculated (a) on a Pro Forma Basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated and (b) in the case of any such ratio or basket related to Restricted Payments or prepayments of Other Junior Indebtedness, without giving effect to such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount of any Indebtedness that may be incurred based on compliance with the Consolidated First Lien Secured Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio and/or the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio, determined at the time of signing of definitive documentation with respect to, or giving of notice with respect to, a Limited Condition Transaction may be recalculated, at the option of Borrower, at the time of funding.

Each Lender may, at its option but subject to Section 5.06 as if such branch or Affiliate was deemed a “Lender” thereunder for purposes of documentation delivered to the Administrative Agent and payments required to be made to Borrower thereunder, make any Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect in any manner the obligation of Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
SECTION 2.07.    Several Obligations of Lenders. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan to be made by it on the date specified therefor shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to make its Loan on such date, but neither any Lender nor Administrative Agent shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make a Loan to be made by such other Lender, and no Lender shall have any obligation to Administrative Agent or any other Lender for the failure by such Lender to make any Loan required to be made by such Lender.

The entries in the Register shall be conclusive of the information noted therein (absent manifest error), and the parties hereto shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of a Loan or other obligation hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes of the Credit Documents, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower or any Lender (solely with respect to such Lender’s Loans) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. No assignment shall be effective unless recorded in the Register; provided that Administrative Agent agrees to record in the Register any assignment entered into pursuant to the term hereof promptly after the effectiveness of such assignment.

Borrower shall give Administrative Agent notice of each such prepayment, conversion or continuation as provided in Section 4.05 (and, upon the date specified in any such notice of prepayment, the amount to be prepaid shall become due and payable hereunder; provided that Borrower may make any such notice conditional upon the occurrence of a Person’s acquisition or sale or any incurrence of indebtedness or issuance of Equity Interests). Each Notice of Continuation/Conversion shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit C. If LIBOR Loans are prepaid or converted other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor, Borrower shall at such time pay all expenses and costs required by Section 5.05. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and without limiting the rights and remedies of the Lenders under Article XI, in the event that any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Administrative Agent may (and, at the request of the Required Lenders, shall), upon written notice to Borrower, have the right to suspend the right of Borrower to convert any Loan into a LIBOR Loan, or to continue any Loan as a LIBOR Loan, in which event all Loans shall be converted (on the last day(s) of the respective Interest Periods therefor) or continued, as the case may be, as ABR Loans.
(b)    Application.
(i)    The amount of any optional prepayments described in Section 2.09(a) shall be applied to prepay Loans outstanding in order of amortization, in amounts and to Tranches, all as determined by Borrower.
(ii)    In addition to the foregoing, provided that the Consolidated First Lien Secured Leverage Ratio is less than 4.00 to 1.00 on a Pro Forma Basis (calculated assuming all amounts offered pursuant to this clause (b)(ii) were accepted as prepayment for the Loans and applied thereto) as of the most recent Calculation Date, Borrower shall have the right to elect to offer to prepay at par the Loans pro rata to the Term Facility Loans, the Extended Term Loans, Incremental Term Loans and the Other Term Loans then outstanding, and apply any amounts rejected for such prepayment to repurchase, prepay, redeem, retire, acquire, defease or cancel Indebtedness or make Restricted Payments notwithstanding any then applicable limitations set forth in Section 10.09 or 10.06, respectively. If Borrower makes such an election, it shall provide notice thereof to Administrative Agent, who shall promptly, and in any event within one Business Day of receipt, provide such notice to the holders of the Term Facility Loans. Any such notice shall specify the aggregate amount offered to prepay the Term Facility Loans. Each holder of a Term Facility Loan, an Other Term Loan, an Incremental Term Loan or an Extended Term Loan may elect, in its sole discretion, to reject such prepayment offer with respect to an amount equal to or less than (w) with respect to holders of Term Facility Loans, an amount equal to the aggregate amount so offered to prepay Term Facility Loans times a fraction, the numerator of which is the principal amount of Term Facility Loans owed to such holder and the denominator of which is the principal amount of Term Facility Loans outstanding, (x) with respect to holders of Incremental Term Loans, an amount equal to the aggregate amount so offered to prepay Incremental Term Loans times a fraction, the numerator of which is the principal amount of Incremental Term Loans owed to such older and the denominator of which is the principal amount of Incremental Term Loans outstanding, (y) with respect to holders of Other Term Loans, an amount equal to the aggregate amount so offered to prepay Other Term Loans times a fraction, the numerator of which is the principal amount of Other Term Loans owed to such holder and the denominator of which is the principal amount of Other Term Loans outstanding, and (z) with respect to holders of Extended Term Loans, an amount equal to the aggregate amount so offered to prepay Extended Term Loans times a fraction, the numerator of which is the principal amount of Extended Term Loans owed to such holder and the denominator of which is the principal amount of Extended Term Loans outstanding. Any rejection of such offer must be evidenced by written notice delivered to Administrative Agent within five Business Days of receipt of the offer for prepayment, specifying an amount of such prepayment offer rejected by such holder, if any. Failure to give such notice will constitute an election to accept such offer. Any portion of such prepayment offer so accepted will be used to prepay the Term Facility Loans held by the applicable holders within ten Business Days of the date of receipt of the offer to prepay. Any portion of such prepayment rejected may be used by the Credit Parties to repurchase, prepay, redeem, retire, acquire, defease or cancel Indebtedness or make Restricted Payments notwithstanding any then applicable limitations set forth in Section 10.09 or 10.06, respectively.
(iii)    Any prepayment of Term Facility Loans pursuant to this Section 2.09 or Section 13.04(b) made prior to the date that is six months after the Closing Date in connection with any Repricing Transaction shall be subject to the fee described in Section 2.05(d).
SECTION 2.10.    Mandatory Prepayments.
(a)    Borrower shall prepay the Loans as follows (each such prepayment to be effected in each case in the manner, order and to the extent specified in Section 2.10(b) below):
(i)    Casualty Events. Within five (5) Business Days after any Credit Party receives any Net Available Proceeds from any Casualty Event or any disposition pursuant to Section 10.05(l) (or notice of collection by Administrative Agent of the same), in an aggregate principal amount equal to 100% of such Net Available Proceeds (it being understood that applications pursuant to this Section 2.10(a)(i) shall not be duplicative of Section 2.10(a)(iii) below); provided, however, that:
(x)    if no Event of Default then exists or would arise therefrom, the Net Available Proceeds thereof shall not be required to be so applied on such date to the extent that Borrower delivers an Officer’s Certificate to Administrative Agent stating that an amount equal to such proceeds is intended to be used to fund the acquisition of Property used or usable in the business of any Credit Party or repair, replace or restore the Property or other Property used or usable in the business of any Credit Party (in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Security Document in respect of which such Casualty Event has occurred, to the extent applicable), in each case within (A) six (6) months following receipt of such Net Available Proceeds or (B) if the relevant Credit Party enters into a legally binding commitment to reinvest such Net Available Proceeds within six (6) months following receipt thereof, within twelve (12) months following receipt of such Net Available Proceeds, and
(y)    if all or any portion of such Net Available Proceeds not required to be applied to the prepayment of Loans pursuant to this Section 2.10(a)(i) is not so used within the period specified by clause (x) above, such remaining portion shall be applied on the last day of such period as specified in Section 2.10(b).
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.10(a)(i) or otherwise, no mandatory prepayment shall be required pursuant to this Section 2.10(a)(i) in any fiscal year until the date on which the Net Available Proceeds required to be applied as mandatory prepayments pursuant to this Section 2.10(a)(i) in such fiscal year shall exceed $25.0 million (and thereafter only Net Available Proceeds in excess of such amount shall be required to be applied as mandatory prepayments pursuant to this Section 2.10(a)(i)).
(ii)    Debt Issuance. Within five (5) Business Days after any Debt Issuance on or after the Closing Date, in an aggregate principal amount equal to 100% of the Net Available Proceeds of such Debt Issuance.
(iii)    Asset Sales. Within five (5) Business Days after receipt by a Credit Party of any Net Available Proceeds from any Asset Sale pursuant to Section 10.05(c), in an aggregate principal amount equal to 50% of the Net Available Proceeds from such Asset Sale (it being understood that applications pursuant to this Section 2.10(a)(iii) shall not be duplicative of Section 2.10(a)(i) above); provided, that the percentage in this Section 2.10(a)(iii) shall be reduced to 0% if, at the time of such Asset Sale, the Consolidated First Lien Secured Leverage Ratio on a Pro Forma Basis is less than or equal to 4.00 to 1.00; provided, further, that:
(x)    an amount equal to the Net Available Proceeds from any Asset Sale pursuant to Section 10.05(c) shall not be required to be applied as provided above on such date if (1) no Event of Default then exists or would arise therefrom and (2) Borrower delivers an Officer’s Certificate to Administrative Agent stating that an amount equal to such Net Available Proceeds is intended to be reinvested, directly or indirectly, in assets (which may be pursuant to an acquisition of Equity Interests of a Person that directly or indirectly owns such assets) otherwise permitted under this Agreement of any Credit Party within (x) six (6) months following receipt of such Net Available Proceeds or (y) if the relevant Credit Party enters into a legally binding commitment to reinvest such Net Available Proceeds within six (6) months following receipt thereof, within twelve (12) months following receipt of such Net Available Proceeds (which certificate shall set forth the estimates of the proceeds to be so expended); and
(y)    if all or any portion of such Net Available Proceeds is not reinvested in assets in accordance with the Officer’s Certificate referred to in clause (x) above within the period specified by clause (x) above, such remaining portion shall be applied on the last day of such period as specified in Section 2.10(b).
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.10(a)(iii) or otherwise, no mandatory prepayment shall be required pursuant to this Section 2.10(a)(iii) in any fiscal year until the date on which the Net Available Proceeds required to be applied as mandatory prepayments pursuant to this Section 2.10(a)(iii) in such fiscal year shall exceed $25.0 million (and thereafter only Net Available Proceeds in excess of such amount shall be required be applied as mandatory prepayments pursuant to this Section 2.10(a)(iii)).
(iv)    Excess Cash Flow. For each fiscal year (commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019), not later than five (5) Business Days after the date on which the financial statements of Borrower referred to in Section 9.04(b) for such fiscal year are required to be delivered to Administrative Agent, Borrower shall prepay, in accordance with subsection (b) below, the principal amount of the Loans in an amount equal to (x) Applicable ECF Percentage of Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal year, minus (y) the principal amount of (i) Loans voluntarily prepaid pursuant to Section 2.09 during such fiscal year plus (ii) Other First Lien Indebtedness voluntarily prepaid (and, to the extent consisting of revolving loans, so long as accompanied by a permanent reduction of the underlying commitments) during such fiscal year to the extent the amount of such Other First Lien Indebtedness so prepaid is not proportionally larger than the amount of Loans so prepaid according to the respective principal amounts of Other First Lien Indebtedness and Loans as of the beginning of the applicable fiscal year plus the principal amount of any additional Other First Lien Indebtedness or Loans incurred during the applicable fiscal year, in each case, except to the extent financed with the proceeds of Indebtedness of the Credit Parties.
(v)    Prepayments Not Required. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.10(a), to the extent that any of or all the Net Available Proceeds of any Asset Sale or Casualty Event with respect to any property or assets of Foreign Subsidiaries, or any Excess Cash Flow attributable to Foreign Subsidiaries, are prohibited or delayed by applicable local law from being repatriated to the United States, an amount equal to the portion of such Net Available Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans at the times provided in this Section 2.10(a) so long as applicable local law does not permit repatriation to the United States (Borrower hereby agreeing to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to promptly take all commercially reasonable actions required by the applicable local law to permit such repatriation), and once such repatriation of any of such affected Net Available Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow is permitted under the applicable local law, (x) any such Net Available Proceeds shall be reinvested pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(i) or (iii), as applicable, or applied pursuant to Section 2.10(b) within five (5) Business Days of such repatriation, and (y) any such Excess Cash Flow shall be applied pursuant to Section 2.10(b) within five (5) Business Days of such repatriation. To the extent Borrower determines in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net Available Proceeds of any Asset Sale or Casualty Event with respect to any property or assets of Foreign Subsidiaries or any Excess Cash Flow attributable to Foreign Subsidiaries would have a material adverse tax costs or consequences to Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, an amount equal to such Net Available Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans; provided that, on or before the date on which such Net Available Proceeds so retained would otherwise have been required to be applied to reinvestments or prepayments pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(i) or (iii), as applicable (or, in the case of Excess Cash Flow, a date on or before the date that is twelve (12) months after the date such Excess Cash Flow would have so required to be applied to prepayments pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(iv)), unless previously repatriated (in which case, (x) any such Net Available Proceeds shall be reinvested pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(i) or (iii), as applicable, or applied pursuant to Section 2.10(b) within five (5) Business Days of such repatriation, and (y) any such Excess Cash Flow shall be applied pursuant to Section 2.10(b) within five (5) Business Days of such repatriation)), (A) Borrower shall apply an amount equal to such Net Available Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow to such reinvestments or prepayments as if such Net Available Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow had been received by Borrower rather than such Foreign Subsidiary, minus, the amount of additional taxes that would have been payable or reserved against if such Net Available Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow had been repatriated (or, if less, the Net Available Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow that would be calculated if received by such Foreign Subsidiary) pursuant to Section 2.10(b) or (B) such Net Available Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow shall be applied to the repayment of Indebtedness of a Foreign Subsidiary.
(vi)    Prepayments of Other First Lien Indebtedness. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 2.10(a)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv), or otherwise, any Net Available Proceeds from any such Casualty Event, Debt Issuance or Asset Sale and any such Excess Cash Flow otherwise required to be applied to prepay the Loans may, at Borrower’s option, be applied to prepay the principal amount of Other First Lien Indebtedness only to (and not in excess of) the extent to which a mandatory prepayment in respect of such Casualty Event, Debt Issuance, Asset Sale, or Excess Cash Flow is required under the terms of such Other First Lien Indebtedness (with any remaining Net Available Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, as applicable, applied to prepay outstanding Loans in accordance with the terms hereof), unless such application would result in the holders of Other First Lien Indebtedness receiving in excess of their pro rata share (determined on the basis of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Loans and Other First Lien Indebtedness at such time) of such Net Available Proceeds relative to Lenders, in which case such Net Available Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, as applicable, may only be applied to prepay the principal amount of Other First Lien Indebtedness on a pro rata basis with outstanding Loans. To the extent the holders of Other First Lien Indebtedness decline to have such indebtedness repurchased, repaid, or prepaid with any such Net Available Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, as applicable, the declined amount of such Net Available Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, as applicable, shall promptly (and, in any event, within ten (10) Business Days after the date of such rejection) be applied to prepay Loans in accordance with the terms hereof (to the extent such Net Available Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, as applicable, would otherwise have been required to be applied if such Other First Lien Indebtedness was not then outstanding). Any such application to Other First Lien Indebtedness shall reduce any prepayments otherwise required hereunder by an equivalent amount.
(b)    Application. The amount of any required prepayments described in Section 2.10(a) shall be applied to prepay Loans as follows:
(i)    First, to the reduction of Amortization Payments on the Loans required by Sections 3.01(a) and (b) on a pro rata basis among each Tranche of Loans, subject to any Declined Amounts, and then to the remaining principal installments with respect thereto in direct order of maturity over the next succeeding four (4) quarterly installments and, thereafter, on a pro rata basis; provided, that each such prepayment shall, subject to the last paragraph of this Section 2.10(b), be applied to such Loans that are ABR Loans to the fullest extent thereof before application to Loans that are LIBOR Loans, and such prepayments of LIBOR Loans shall be applied in a manner that minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 5.05; and
(ii)    Second, after application of prepayments in accordance with clause (i) above, Borrower shall be permitted to retain any such remaining excess.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender may elect, by written notice to Administrative Agent at least one (1) Business Day prior to the prepayment date, to decline all or any portion of any prepayment of its Term Loans, pursuant to this Section 2.10, in which case the aggregate amount of the prepayment that would have been applied to prepay such Term Loans, but was so declined shall be ratably offered to each Lender that initially accepted such prepayment. Any such re-offered amounts rejected by such Lenders shall be retained by Borrower (any such retained amounts, “Declined Amounts”).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the amount of any prepayment of Loans required under this Section 2.10 shall be in excess of the amount of the ABR Loans at the time outstanding, only the portion of the amount of such prepayment as is equal to the amount of such outstanding ABR Loans shall be immediately prepaid and, at the election of Borrower, the balance of such required prepayment shall be either (i) deposited in the Collateral Account and applied to the prepayment of LIBOR Loans on the last day of the then next-expiring Interest Period for LIBOR Loans (with all interest accruing thereon for the account of Borrower) or (ii) prepaid immediately, together with any amounts owing to the Lenders under Section 5.05. Notwithstanding any such deposit in the Collateral Account, interest shall continue to accrue on such Loans until prepayment.
SECTION 2.11.    Replacement of Lenders.
(a)    Borrower shall have the right to replace any Lender (the “Replaced Lender”) with one or more other Eligible Assignees (collectively, the “Replacement Lender”), if (x) such Lender is charging Borrower increased costs pursuant to Section 5.01 or 5.06 or such Lender becomes incapable of making LIBOR Loans as provided in Section 5.03 when other Lenders are generally able to do so, (y) such Lender is a Defaulting Lender or (z) such Lender is subject to Disqualification (and such Lender is notified by Borrower and Administrative Agent in writing of such Disqualification); provided, however, that (i) at the time of any such replacement, the Replacement Lender shall enter into one or more Assignment Agreements (and with all fees payable pursuant to Section 13.05(b) to be paid by the Replacement Lender or Borrower) pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire all of the Commitments and outstanding Loans of the Replaced Lender (or if the Replaced Lender is being replaced as a result of being a Defaulting Lender, then the Replacement Lender shall acquire all Loans and Commitments held by such Defaulting Lender), (ii) at the time of any such replacement, the Replaced Lender shall receive an amount equal to the sum of (A) the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of such Lender (other than any Loans not being acquired by a Replacement Lender), and (B) all accrued, but theretofore unpaid, fees owing to the Lender pursuant to Section 2.05 with respect to the Loans being assigned, as the case may be and (iii) all obligations of Borrower owing to such Replaced Lender (other than those specifically described in clause (i) above in respect of Replaced Lenders for which the assignment purchase price has been, or is concurrently being, paid, and other than those relating to Loans or Commitments not being acquired by a Replacement Lender, but including any amounts which would be paid to a Lender pursuant to Section 5.05 if Borrower were prepaying a LIBOR Loan), as applicable, shall be paid in full to such Replaced Lender, as applicable, concurrently with such replacement, as the case may be. Upon the execution of the respective Assignment Agreement, the payment of amounts referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above, as applicable, the receipt of any consents that would be required for an assignment of the subject Loans and Commitments to such Replacement Lender in accordance with Section 13.05, the Replacement Lender, if any, shall become a Lender hereunder and the Replaced Lender, as applicable, shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder and be released of all its obligations as a Lender, except with respect to indemnification provisions applicable to such Lender under this Agreement, which shall survive as to such Lender and, in the case of any Replaced Lender, except with respect to Loans and Commitments of such Replaced Lender not being acquired by the Replacement Lender; provided, that if the applicable Replaced Lender does not execute the Assignment Agreement within three (3) Business Days after Borrower’s request, execution of such Assignment Agreement by the Replaced Lender shall not be required to effect such assignment.
(b)    If any Lender is subject to a Disqualification (and such Lender is notified by Borrower and Administrative Agent in writing of such Disqualification), Borrower shall have the right to replace such Lender with a Replacement Lender in accordance with Section 2.11(a) or prepay the Loans held by such Lender, in each case, in accordance with any applicable provisions of Section 2.11(a), even if a Default or an Event of Default exists (notwithstanding anything contained in such Section 2.11(a) to the contrary). Any such prepayment shall be deemed an optional prepayment, as set forth in Section 2.09 and shall not be required to be made on a pro rata basis with respect to Loans of the same Tranche as the Loans held by such Lender. Notice to such Lender shall be given at least ten (10) days before the required date of transfer or prepayment (unless a shorter period is required by any Requirement of Law), as the case may be, and shall be accompanied by evidence demonstrating that such transfer or redemption is required pursuant to Gaming Laws. Upon receipt of a notice in accordance with the foregoing, the Replaced Lender shall cooperate with Borrower in effectuating the required transfer or prepayment within the time period set forth in such notice, not to be less than the minimum notice period set forth in the foregoing sentence (unless a shorter period is required under any Requirement of Law). Further, if the transfer or prepayment is triggered by notice from the Gaming Authority that the Lender is disqualified, commencing on the date the Gaming Authority provides the disqualification notice to Borrower, to the extent prohibited by law: (i) such Lender shall no longer receive any interest on the Loans; (ii) such Lender shall no longer exercise, directly or through any trustee or nominee, any right conferred by the Loans; and (iii) such Lender shall not receive any remuneration in any form from Borrower for services or otherwise in respect of the Loans.
SECTION 2.12.    Incremental Loan Commitments.
(a)    Borrower Request. Borrower may, at any time, by written notice to Administrative Agent, request (i) the establishment of additional Term Loans with terms and conditions identical to the terms and conditions of existing Term Loans hereunder (“Incremental Term Facility Loans” and the related commitments, “Incremental Term Facility Loan Commitments”), provided, however, that, upfront fees or original issue discount may be paid to Lenders providing such Incremental Term Facility Loan Commitments, and/or (ii) the establishment of one or more new Tranches of term loans (“New Term Loans” and the related commitments, “New Term Loan Commitments”); provided, however, that (x) the aggregate amount of all Incremental Term Loans issued or incurred (but excluding any such Incremental Term Loan Commitments that have been terminated prior to such date of determination without being funded) on or prior to such date shall not exceed the Incremental Loan Amount; provided that, to the extent the proceeds of any Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Term Loan Commitments are intended to be applied to finance a Limited Condition Acquisition, the Consolidated First Lien Secured Leverage Ratio shall be tested in accordance with Section 1.06 and (y) any such request for Incremental Term Loan Commitments shall be in a minimum amount of $25.0 million and integral multiples of $1.0 million above such amount. Borrower may request Incremental Term Loan Commitments from existing Lenders and from Eligible Assignees; provided, however, that (A) any existing Lender approached to provide all or a portion of the Incremental Term Loan Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide all or any portion of such Incremental Term Loan Commitments offered to it and (B) any potential Lender that is not an existing Lender and agrees to make available an Incremental Term Loan Commitment shall be required to be an Eligible Assignee and shall require approval by Administrative Agent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
(b)    Incremental Effective Date. The Incremental Term Loan Commitments shall be effected by a joinder agreement to this Agreement (the “Incremental Joinder Agreement”) executed by Borrower, Administrative Agent and each Lender making or providing such Incremental Term Loan Commitment, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to each of them, subject, however, to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in this Section 2.12. The Incremental Joinder Agreement may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable judgment of Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.12. Administrative Agent and Borrower shall determine the effective date (each, an “Incremental Effective Date”) of any Incremental Term Loan Commitments and the final allocation of such Incremental Term Loan Commitments. The effectiveness of any such Incremental Term Loan Commitments shall be subject solely to the satisfaction of the following conditions to the reasonable satisfaction of Administrative Agent:
(i)    Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered any legal opinions or other documents reasonably requested by Administrative Agent in connection with any such Incremental Term Loan Commitments;
(ii)    an Incremental Joinder Agreement shall have been duly executed and delivered by Borrower, Administrative Agent, and each Lender making or providing such Incremental Term Loan Commitment;
(iii)    no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would exist immediately after giving effect to such Incremental Term Loan Commitments; provided that, with respect to any Incremental Term Loans (and any related Incremental Term Loan Commitments) the proceeds of which are used primarily to fund a Limited Condition Transaction substantially concurrently upon the receipt thereof, the absence of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 11.01(b) or 11.01(c) or an Event of Default specified in Section 11.01(g) or 11.01(h) with respect to Borrower) shall not constitute a condition to the effectiveness of such Incremental Term Loans (and any related Incremental Term Loan Commitments), or the funding of such Incremental Term Loans, unless otherwise agreed by Borrower and the Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Term Loan Commitments;
(iv)    the representations and warranties set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of such Incremental Effective Date as if made on and as of such date (except where such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date); provided that, any representation and warranty that is qualified as to “materiality,” “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language shall be true and correct in all respects on such dates; and provided, further, that, with respect to any Incremental Term Loans and related Incremental Term Loan Commitments the proceeds of which are used primarily to fund a Limited Condition Transaction substantially concurrently upon the receipt thereof, the only representations and warranties the making of which shall be a condition to the effectiveness of such Incremental Term Loans and related Incremental Term Loan Commitments and the funding of such Incremental Term Loans shall be (except as otherwise agreed, as it pertains to additional representations and warranties by Borrower and the Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Term Loan Commitments and set forth in the applicable Incremental Joinder Agreement) (x) the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 8.01(a) (but only with respect to Credit Parties), 8.04(a)(i), 8.04(a)(ii), 8.05 (but only as it relates to the Credit Documents), 8.09, 8.11(a), 8.11(b), 8.14 (but only as it relates to security interests that may be perfected solely through the filing of UCC financing statements and delivery of certificated securities collateral representing Equity Interests in United States Persons), 8.17, 8.22 and 8.23 (as it relates to the use of proceeds of the Loans on the Incremental Effective Date) and (y) the representations and warranties contained in the acquisition agreement relating to such Permitted Acquisition or other Acquisition as are material to the interests of the Lenders, but only to the extent that Borrower or any of its Affiliates have the right to terminate its or their obligations under such acquisition agreement as a result of a breach of such representations and warranties in such acquisition agreement;
(v)    (A) without the written consent of (x) the Required Tranche Lenders with respect to any Tranches of then-existing Term Loans that have a maturity date after the proposed maturity date of any New Term Loans, the final stated maturity of any New Term Loans shall not be earlier than the then-existing Final Maturity Date with respect to any then-existing Tranche of Term Loans, and (y) the Required Tranche Lenders with respect to any Tranches of then-existing Term Loans that have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity that is longer than the proposed Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any New Term Loans, the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any New Term Loans shall be no shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any then-existing Tranche of Term Loans (without giving effect to the effect of prepayments made under any existing Tranche of Term Loans on amortization); it being understood that, subject to the foregoing, (i) the amortization schedule applicable to such New Term Loans shall be determined by Borrower and the lenders of such New Term Loans and (ii) in the case of Incremental Term Facility Loans, appropriate adjustments shall be made to the amortization schedule applicable to Term Facility Loans as are necessary to provide for the “fungibility” of such Incremental Term Facility Loans with the existing Term Facility Loans and (B) the New Term Loans shall (i) not be guaranteed by any Subsidiary other than Subsidiaries that are Guarantors and (ii) be secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with the Obligations and shall not be secured by any property or assets other than Collateral.
(vi)    the yields and interest rate margins (in each case subject to Section 2.12(c)) and, except as set forth in clause (v) of this Section 2.12(b), amortization schedule, applicable to any New Term Loans shall be as determined by Borrower and the holders of such Indebtedness;
(vii)    except as set forth in Section 2.12(a) and in clauses (i) through (vi) of this Section 2.12(b), the terms (excluding maturity, amortization, pricing, fees, rate floors, premiums, optional prepayment or optional redemption provisions) applicable to any New Term Loans shall be (as determined by Borrower in good faith) substantially consistent with those applicable to any then-existing Term Facility Loans as existing on the date of incurrence of such New Term Loans except, to the extent such terms (x) at the option of Borrower (1) reflect market terms and conditions (taken as a whole) at the time of incurrence or issuance (as determined by Borrower in good faith); provided that, if any financial maintenance covenant is added for the benefit of any New Term Loans, such financial maintenance covenant shall also be applicable to the Term Facility Loans (except to the extent such financial maintenance covenant applies only to periods after the Final Maturity Date applicable to the Term Facility Loans) or (2) are not materially more restrictive to Borrower (as determined by Borrower in good faith), when taken as a whole, than the terms of the Term Facility Loans (except for covenants or other provisions applicable only to periods after the Final Maturity Date applicable to the Term Facility Loans) (it being understood that any New Term Loans may provide for the ability to participate (i) with respect to any borrowings, voluntary prepayments or voluntary commitment reductions, on a pro rata basis or less than pro rata basis with the applicable Loans or facility and (ii) with respect to any mandatory prepayments, on a pro rata basis or less than pro rata basis with the applicable Loans (and on a greater than pro rata basis with respect to prepayments of any New Term Loans with the proceeds of permitted refinancing Indebtedness), or (y) are (1) added to the Term Facility Loans, (2) applicable only after the Final Maturity Date applicable to the Term Facility Loans, or (3) otherwise reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent (it being understood that to the extent any financial maintenance covenant is added for the benefit of any such New Term Loans, no consent shall be required from Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders to the extent that such financial maintenance covenant (together with any related “equity cure” provisions) is also added for the benefit of any corresponding Term Facility Loans);
(viii)    any Incremental Term Facility Loans (and the corresponding Incremental Term Facility Loan Commitments) shall have terms identical to the terms of the existing Term Facility Loans (and the existing Term Facility Loan Commitments); provided, however, that upfront fees or original issue discount may be paid to Lenders providing such Incremental Term Facility Loans as agreed by such Lenders and Borrower, and the conditions applicable to the incurrence of such Incremental Term Facility Loans (and the corresponding Incremental Term Facility Loan Commitments) shall be as provided in this Section 2.12.
Upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Term Loan Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.12, any Person providing an Incremental Term Loan Commitment that was not a Lender hereunder immediately prior to such time shall become a Lender hereunder. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of any Incremental Term Loan Commitments, and (i) any Incremental Term Facility Loans (to the extent funded) shall be deemed to be Term Facility Loans hereunder and (ii) any New Term Loans shall be deemed to be additional Term Loans hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrower, Collateral Agent, and Administrative Agent may (and each of Collateral Agent and Administrative Agent are authorized by each other Secured Party to) execute such amendments and/or amendments and restatements of any Credit Documents as may be necessary or advisable to effectuate the provisions of this Section 2.12. Such amendments may include provisions allowing any New Term Loans to be treated on the same basis as Term Facility Loans. In connection with the incurrence of any Incremental Term Facility Loans, Borrower shall be permitted to terminate any Interest Period applicable to Term Facility Loans on the date such Incremental Term Facility Loans are incurred.
(c)    Terms of Incremental Term Loan Commitments and Loans. The yield applicable to the Incremental Term Loans shall be determined by Borrower and the applicable new Lenders and shall be set forth in each applicable Incremental Joinder Agreement; provided, however, that in the case of any Incremental Term Facility Loans or New Term Loans issued within twelve (12) months after the Closing Date, if the All-In Yield applicable to such Incremental Term Facility Loans or New Term Loans is greater than the All-In Yield payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement as amended through the date of such calculation with respect to Term Facility Loans, plus 50 basis points per annum, then the interest rate with respect to the Term Facility Loans shall be increased (pursuant to the applicable Incremental Joinder Agreement) so as to cause the then applicable All-In Yield under this Agreement on the Term Facility Loans to equal the All-In Yield then applicable to such Incremental Term Facility Loans or New Term Loans, minus 50 basis points.
(d)    Equal and Ratable Benefit. The Loans and Commitments established pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall constitute Loans and Commitments under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the Guarantees and security interests created by the Security Documents. The Credit Parties shall take any actions reasonably required by Administrative Agent to ensure and/or demonstrate that the Lien and security interests granted by the Security Documents continue to secure all the Obligations and continue to be perfected under the UCC or otherwise after giving effect to the establishment of any Incremental Term Loan Commitments or the funding of Loans thereunder, including, without limitation, the procurement of title insurance endorsements reasonably requested by and satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(e)    Incremental Joinder Agreements. An Incremental Joinder Agreement may, subject to Section 2.12(b), without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as may be necessary or advisable, in the reasonable opinion of Administrative Agent and Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.12 (including, without limitation, such technical amendments as may be necessary or advisable, in the reasonable opinion of Administrative Agent and Borrower, to give effect to the terms and provisions of any Incremental Term Loan Commitments (and any Loans made in respect thereof)).
(f)    Supersede. This Section 2.12 shall supersede any provisions in Section 13.04 to the contrary.
SECTION 2.13.    Extensions of Loans and Commitments.
(a)    Borrower may, at any time request that all or a portion of the Term Loans of any Tranche (an “Existing Term Loan Tranche”) be modified to constitute another Tranche of Term Loans in order to extend the scheduled final maturity date thereof (any such Term Loans which have been so modified, “Extended Term Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.13. In order to establish any Extended Term Loans, Borrower shall provide a notice to Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders of the applicable Existing Term Loan Tranche) (a “Term Loan Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Term Loans to be established, which terms shall be identical to those applicable to the Term Loans of the Existing Term Loan Tranche from which they are to be modified except (i) the scheduled final maturity date shall be extended to the date set forth in the applicable Extension Amendment and the amortization shall be as set forth in the Extension Amendment, (ii) (A) the Applicable Margins with respect to the Extended Term Loans may be higher or lower than the Applicable Margins for the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Tranche and/or (B) additional fees (including prepayment or termination premiums) may be payable to the Lenders providing such Extended Term Loans in addition to or in lieu of any increased Applicable Margins contemplated by the preceding clause (A), in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, (iii) any Extended Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or a less than pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis) in any optional or mandatory prepayments or prepayment of Term Loans hereunder in each case as specified in the respective Term Loan Extension Request, and (iv) the final maturity date and the scheduled amortization applicable to the Extended Term Loans shall be set forth in the applicable Extension Amendment and the scheduled amortization of such Existing Term Loan Tranche shall be adjusted to reflect the amortization schedule (including the principal amounts payable pursuant thereto) in respect of the Term Loans under such Existing Term Loan Tranche that have been extended as Extended Term Loans as set forth in the applicable Extension Amendment; provided, however, that the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Extended Term Loans shall be no shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Tranche. Except as provided above, each Lender holding Extended Term Loans shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by this Agreement (including, without limitation, the provisions set forth in Section 2.09(b) and 2.10(b) applicable to Term Loans) and the other Credit Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the Guarantees and security interests created by the Security Documents. The Credit Parties shall take any actions reasonably required by Administrative Agent to ensure and/or demonstrate that the Lien and security interests granted by the Security Documents continue to secure all the Obligations and continue to be perfected under the UCC or otherwise after giving effect to the extension of any Term Loans, including, without limitation, the procurement of title insurance endorsements reasonably requested by and satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Term Loans of any Existing Term Loan Tranche modified to constitute Extended Term Loans pursuant to any Term Loan Extension Request. Any Extended Term Loans of any Extension Tranche shall constitute a separate Tranche and Class of Term Loans from the Existing Term Loan Tranche from which they were modified.
(b)    [Reserved].
(c)    Borrower shall provide the applicable Extension Request at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which Lenders under the existing Tranche are requested to respond (or such shorter period as is agreed to by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion). Any Lender (an “Extending Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Term Loans of the existing Tranche subject to such Extension Request modified to constitute Extended Term Loans shall notify Administrative Agent (an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Term Loans of the existing Tranche that it has elected to modify to constitute Extended Term Loans. In the event that the aggregate amount of Term Loans of the existing Tranche subject to Extension Elections exceeds the amount of Extended Term Loans requested pursuant to the Extension Request, Term Loans subject to such Extension Elections shall be modified to constitute Extended Term Loans on a pro rata basis based on the amount of Term Loans included in such Extension Elections. Borrower shall have the right to withdraw any Extension Request upon written notice to Administrative Agent in the event that the aggregate amount of Term Loans of the existing Tranche subject to such Extension Request is less than the amount of Extended Term Loans requested pursuant to such Extension Request.
(d)    Extended Term Loans shall be established pursuant to an amendment (an “Extension Amendment”) to this Agreement (which shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit M to this Agreement or such other form as is reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent). Each Extension Amendment shall be executed by Borrower, Administrative Agent, and the Extending Lenders (it being understood that such Extension Amendment shall not require the consent of any Lender other than the Extending Lenders). An Extension Amendment may, subject to Sections 2.13(a), without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as may be necessary or advisable, in the reasonable opinion of Administrative Agent and Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.13 (including, without limitation, such technical amendments as may be necessary or advisable, in the reasonable opinion of Administrative Agent and Borrower, to give effect to the terms and provisions of any Extended Term Loans).
SECTION 2.14.    Defaulting Lender Provisions.
(a)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if a Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, the following provisions shall apply:
(i)    Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender under Section 2.05(a); and
(ii)    any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article XI or otherwise) or received by Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 4.07 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as Borrower may request (so long as no 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 Administrative Agent; third, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fourth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and fifth, 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 at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 7.01 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 2.14(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
(b)    Cure. If Borrower and Administrative Agent agree in writing in their discretion that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par such portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders and/or make such other adjustments as Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender and will be a Non-Defaulting Lender (and such exposure of each Lender will automatically be adjusted on a prospective basis to reflect the foregoing); provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
(c)    Certain Fees. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, during such period as a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender will not be entitled to any fees accruing during such period pursuant to Section 2.05 (without prejudice to the rights of the Non-Defaulting Lenders in respect of such fees).
SECTION 2.15.    Refinancing Amendments.
(a)    At any time after the Closing Date, Borrower may obtain Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of all or any portion of the Term Loans then outstanding under this Agreement (which for purposes of this clause (a) will be deemed to include any then outstanding Other Term Loans), in the form of Other Term Loans or Other Term Loan Commitments pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment. Each issuance of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness under this Section 2.15(a) shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (x) not less than $5.0 million and (y) an integral multiple of $1.0 million in excess thereof.
(b)    The effectiveness of any such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness shall subject to the consent required pursuant to Section 2.15(d), be subject solely to the satisfaction of the following conditions to the reasonable satisfaction of Administrative Agent: (i) any Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of Term Loans will have a maturity date that is not prior to the maturity date of, and a Weighted Average Life to Maturity that is not shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of, the Term Loans being refinanced (determined without giving effect to the impact of prepayments on amortization of Term Loans being refinanced); (ii) the aggregate principal amount of any Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness shall not exceed the principal amount so refinanced, plus, accrued interest, plus, any premium or other payment required to be paid in connection with such refinancing, plus, the amount of reasonable and customary fees and expenses of any of the Credit Parties incurred in connection with such refinancing, plus, any unutilized commitments thereunder; (iii) to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, receipt by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of customary legal opinions and other documents; and (iv) execution of a Refinancing Amendment by the Credit Parties, Administrative Agent, and Lenders providing such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness.
(c)    The Loans and Commitments established pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall constitute Loans and Commitments under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the Guarantees and security interests created by the Security Documents. The Credit Parties shall take any actions reasonably required by Administrative Agent to ensure and/or demonstrate that the Lien and security interests granted by the Security Documents continue to secure all the Obligations and continue to be perfected under the UCC or otherwise after giving effect to the applicable Refinancing Amendment.
(d)    Upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment pursuant to this Section 2.15, any Person providing the corresponding Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness that was not a Lender hereunder immediately prior to such time shall become a Lender hereunder. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of such Refinancing Amendment, and (i) any Other Term Loans resulting from such Refinancing Amendment shall be deemed to be Term Loans hereunder (to the extent funded) and (ii) any Other Term Loan Commitments resulting from such Refinancing Amendment shall be deemed to be Term Facility Commitments hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrower, Collateral Agent, and Administrative Agent may (and each of Collateral Agent and Administrative Agent are authorized by each other Secured Party to) execute such amendments and/or amendments and restatements of any Credit Documents as may be necessary or advisable to effectuate the provisions of this Section 2.15. Such amendments may include provisions allowing any Other Term Loans to be treated on the same basis as Term Facility Loans in connection with declining prepayments.
(e)    Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred pursuant thereto (including any amendments necessary to treat the Loans and Commitments subject thereto as Other Term Loans and/or Other Term Loan Commitments). Any Refinancing Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of Administrative Agent and Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.15. This Section 2.15 shall supersede any provisions in Section 4.02, 4.07(b) or 13.04 to the contrary.

(i)    during such periods as such Loan is an ABR Loan, the Alternate Base Rate (as in effect from time to time), plus the Applicable Margin applicable to such Loan, and
(ii)    during such periods as such Loan is a LIBOR Loan, for each Interest Period relating thereto, the LIBO Rate for such Loan for such Interest Period, plus the Applicable Margin applicable to such Loan.
(b)    To the extent permitted by Law, (i) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (other than Events of Default under Sections 11.01(g) or 11.01(h)), overdue principal and overdue interest in respect of each Loan and all other Obligations not paid when due and (ii) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 11.01(g) or Section 11.01(h), all Obligations shall, in each case, automatically and without any action by any Person, bear interest at the Default Rate.

ARTICLE IV.    

PAYMENTS; PRO RATA TREATMENT; COMPUTATIONS; ETC.
SECTION 4.01.    Payments.
(a)    All payments of principal, interest, and other amounts to be made by Borrower under this Agreement and the Notes, and, except to the extent otherwise provided therein, all payments to be made by the Credit Parties under any other Credit Document, shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without deduction, set-off or counterclaim, to Administrative Agent at its account at the Principal Office, not later than 2:00 p.m., New York time, on the date on which such payment shall become due (each such payment made after such time on such due date may, at the discretion of Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day). Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof.
(b)    Borrower shall, at the time of making each payment under this Agreement or any Note for the account of any Lender, specify (in accordance with Sections 2.09 and 2.10, if applicable) to Administrative Agent (which shall so notify the intended recipient(s) thereof) the Class and Type of Loans, or other amounts payable by Borrower hereunder to which such payment is to be applied.
(c)    Each payment received by Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any Note for the account of any Lender shall be paid by Administrative Agent to such Lender, in immediately available funds, (x) if the payment was actually received by Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 p.m. (Noon), New York time on any day, on such day and (y) if the payment was actually received by Administrative Agent after 12:00 p.m. (Noon), New York time, on any day, by 1:00 p.m., New York time, on the following Business Day (it being understood that to the extent that any such payment is not made in full by Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent shall pay to such Lender, upon demand, interest at the Federal Funds Rate from the date such amount was required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to the foregoing clauses until the date Administrative Agent pays such Lender the full amount).
(d)    If the due date of any payment under this Agreement or any Note would otherwise fall on a day that is not a Business Day, such date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and interest shall be payable for any principal so extended for the period of such extension at the rate then borne by such principal.
SECTION 4.02.    Pro Rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (a) each borrowing of Loans of a particular Class from the Lenders under Section 2.01 shall be made from the relevant Lenders, each payment of commitment fees under Section 2.05 in respect of Commitments of a particular Class shall be made for account of the relevant Lenders, and each termination or reduction of the amount of the Commitments of a particular Class under Section 2.04 shall be applied to the respective Commitments of such Class of the relevant Lenders pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Commitments of such Class; (b) except as otherwise provided in Section 5.04, LIBOR Loans of any Class having the same Interest Period shall be allocated pro rata among the relevant Lenders according to the amounts of their respective Term Facility Commitments (in the case of the making of Loans) or their respective Term Loans (in the case of conversions and continuations of Loans); (c) except as otherwise provided in Section 2.09(b), Section 2.10(b), Section 2.12, Section 2.13, Section 2.14, Section 2.15, Section 13.04 or Section 13.05(d), each payment or prepayment of principal of any particular Class of Term Loans shall be made for the account of the relevant Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid outstanding principal amounts of the Loans of such Class held by them; and (d) except as otherwise provided in Section 2.09(b), Section 2.10(b), Section 2.12, Section 2.13, Section 2.14, Section 2.15, Section 13.04 or Section 13.05(d), each payment of interest on Term Loans shall be made for account of the relevant Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such Loans then due and payable to the respective Lenders.
SECTION 4.03.    Computations. Interest on LIBOR Loans shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such amounts are payable and interest on ABR Loans shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such amounts are payable.
SECTION 4.04.    Minimum Amounts. Except for mandatory prepayments made pursuant to Section 2.10 and conversions or prepayments made pursuant to Section 5.04, each Borrowing, conversion and partial prepayment of principal of Loans shall be in an amount at least equal to, in the case of Term Loans (x) with respect to Borrowings, $25.0 million and (y) with respect to conversions and partial repayments of principal, $5.0 million and, in each case, in multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the remaining Term Loans (borrowings, conversions or prepayments of or into Loans of different Types or, in the case of LIBOR Loans, having different Interest Periods at the same time hereunder to be deemed separate borrowings, conversions and prepayments for purposes of the foregoing, one for each Type or Interest Period). Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the aggregate principal amount of LIBOR Loans having the same Interest Period shall be in an amount at least equal to $1.0 million and in multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof and, if any LIBOR Loans or portions thereof would otherwise be in a lesser principal amount for any period, such Loans or portions, as the case may be, shall be ABR Loans during such period.
SECTION 4.05.    Certain Notices. Notices by Borrower to Administrative Agent of terminations or reductions of the Commitments, of Borrowings, conversions, continuations and optional prepayments of Loans and of Classes of Loans, of Types of Loans and of the duration of Interest Periods shall be irrevocable and shall be effective only if received by Administrative Agent by telephone not later than 1:00 p.m., New York time (promptly followed by written notice via facsimile or electronic mail), on at least the number of Business Days prior to the date of the relevant termination, reduction, Borrowing, conversion, continuation or prepayment or the first day of such Interest Period specified in the table below (unless otherwise agreed to by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), provided that Borrower may make any such notice conditional upon the occurrence of a Person’s acquisition or sale or any incurrence of indebtedness or issuance of Equity Interests.

Each such notice of termination or reduction shall specify the amount and the Class of the Commitments to be terminated or reduced. Each such Notice of Borrowing, conversion, continuation or prepayment shall specify the Class of Loans to be borrowed, converted, continued or prepaid and the amount (subject to Section 4.04) and Type of each Loan to be borrowed, converted, continued or prepaid and the date of borrowing, conversion, continuation or prepayment (which shall be a Business Day). Each such notice of the duration of an Interest Period shall specify the Loans to which such Interest Period is to relate. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of the contents of each such notice. In the event that Borrower fails to select the Type of Loan within the time period and otherwise as provided in this Section 4.05, such Loan (if outstanding as a LIBOR Loan) will be automatically converted into an ABR Loan on the last day of the then current Interest Period for such Loan or (if outstanding as an ABR Loan) will remain as, or (if not then outstanding) will be made as, an ABR Loan. In the event that Borrower has elected to borrow or convert Loans into LIBOR Loans but fails to select the duration of any Interest Period for any LIBOR Loans within the time period and otherwise as provided in this Section 4.05, such LIBOR Loan shall have an Interest Period of one month.
SECTION 4.06.    Non-Receipt of Funds by Administrative Agent.
(a)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of LIBOR Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of ABR Loans, prior to 12:00 noon on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’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 2.02 (or, in the case of a Borrowing of ABR Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.02) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and Borrower 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 and including the date such amount is made available to Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If Borrower 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 Borrower the amount of such interest paid by Borrower 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 Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim 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 Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this clause (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
SECTION 4.07.    Right of Setoff, Sharing of Payments; Etc.
(a)    If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Credit Party agrees that, in addition to (and without limitation of) any right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim a Lender may otherwise have, each Lender shall be entitled, at its option (to the fullest extent permitted by law), subject to obtaining the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any deposit (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), or other indebtedness, held by it for the credit or account of such Credit Party at any of its offices, in Dollars or in any other currency, against any principal of or interest on any of such Lender’s Loans or any other amount payable to such Lender hereunder that is not paid when due (regardless of whether such deposit or other indebtedness is then due to such Credit Party), in which case it shall promptly notify such Credit Party thereof; provided, however, that such Lender’s failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity thereof; and provided further that no such right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim shall apply to any funds held for further distribution to any Governmental Authority.
(b)    Each of the Lenders agrees that, if it should receive (other than pursuant to Section 2.09(b), Section 2.10(b), Section 2.11, Section 2.12, Section 2.13, Section 2.15, Article V, Section 13.04 or Section 13.05(d) or as otherwise specifically provided herein or in the Fee Letter) any amount hereunder (whether by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by the exercise of the right of setoff or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action, by the enforcement of any right under the Credit Documents (including any guarantee), or otherwise) which is applicable to the payment of the principal of, or interest on, the Loans, or fees, the sum of which with respect to the related sum or sums received by other Lenders is in a greater proportion than the total of such amounts then owed and due to such Lender bears to the total of such amounts then owed and due to all of the Lenders immediately prior to such receipt, then such Lender receiving such excess payment shall purchase for cash without recourse or warranty from the other Lenders an interest in the Obligations of the respective Credit Party to such Lenders in such amount as shall result in a proportional participation by all of the Lenders in such amount; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Borrower consents to the foregoing arrangements.
(c)    Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing such participation may exercise all rights of setoff, banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct holder of Loans or other amounts (as the case may be) owing to such Lender in the amount of such participation.
(d)    Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise, and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other Indebtedness or obligation of any Credit Party. 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 4.07 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 4.07 to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.
(e)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4.07, in the event that any Defaulting Lender exercises any right of setoff, (i) all amounts so set off will be paid over immediately to Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.14 and, pending such payment, will be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of Administrative Agent and the Lenders and (ii) the Defaulting Lender will provide promptly to Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.

YIELD PROTECTION, ETC.
SECTION 5.01.    Additional Costs.
(a)    If any Change in Law shall:
(i)    subject any Lender to any Taxes with respect to this Agreement, any Note or any Lender’s participation therein, any Loan made by it (except for (1) any reserve requirement reflected in the LIBO Rate, (2) Covered Taxes and (3) Excluded Taxes);
(ii)    impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender that is not otherwise included in the determination of the LIBO Rate hereunder; or
(iii)    impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or LIBOR Loans made by such Lender or participation therein;
and the result of any of the foregoing is to materially increase the cost to such Lender of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining LIBOR Loans (or of maintaining its obligation to make any LIBOR Loans), then, in any such case, Borrower shall, within 10 days of written demand therefor, pay such Lender any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this subsection, it shall promptly notify Borrower, through Administrative Agent, of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled.
(b)    A certificate as to any additional amounts setting forth the calculation of such additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.01 submitted by such Lender, through Administrative Agent, to Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of clearly demonstrable error. Without limiting the survival of any other covenant hereunder, this Section 5.01 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Notes and all other Obligations payable hereunder.
(c)    In the event that any Lender shall have determined that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or the Lender’s holding company with regard to capital or liquidity requirements, does or shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such holding company’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time, after submission by such Lender or Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor (setting forth in reasonable detail the amount payable to the affected Lender and the basis for such request), Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction.
(d)    Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 5.01 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 5.01 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than ninety (90) days prior to the date that such Lender notifies Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs incurred or reductions suffered and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 90-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
SECTION 5.02.    Inability To Determine Interest Rate.
(a)    If prior to the first day of any Interest Period: (i) Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO Base Rate for such Interest Period or (ii) Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Required Lenders that Dollar deposits are not available in the relevant amount and for the relevant Interest Period available to the Required Lenders in the London interbank market or (iii) the Required Lenders determine that the LIBO Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such LIBOR Loans (in each case, “Impacted Loans”), Administrative Agent shall give electronic mail or telephonic notice thereof to Borrower and the Lenders as soon as practicable thereof. If such notice is given, (x) any LIBOR Loans requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as ABR Loans, (y) any Loans that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to LIBOR Loans shall be converted to, or continued as, ABR Loans and (z) any outstanding LIBOR Loans shall be converted, on the first day of such Interest Period, to ABR Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by Administrative Agent (which the Administrative Agent agrees to do if the circumstances giving rise to such notice cease to exist), no further LIBOR Loans shall be made, or continued as such, nor shall Borrower have the right to convert Loans to, LIBOR Loans.
(b)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there are Impacted Loans as provided above, the Administrative Agent, in consultation with Borrower and the affected Lenders, may establish an alternative interest rate for the Impacted Loans, in which case, such alternative rate of interest shall apply with respect to the Impacted Loans (to the extent Borrower does not elect to maintain such Impacted Loans as ABR Loans) until (1) the Administrative Agent revokes the notice delivered with respect to the Impacted Loans (which the Administrative Agent agrees to do if the circumstances giving rise to Impacted Loans cease to exist), (2) the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent and Borrower that such alternative interest rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding the Impacted Loans, or (3) any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to such alternative rate of interest or to determine or charge interest rates based upon such rate or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to do any of the foregoing and provides the Administrative Agent and Borrower written notice thereof.
(c)    If at any time the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) the circumstances set forth in clause (a)(i) have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii) the circumstances set forth in clause (a)(i) have not arisen but either (w) the supervisor for the administrator of the LIBO Base Rate has made a public statement that the administrator of the LIBO Base Rate is insolvent (and there is no successor administrator that will continue publication of the LIBO Base Rate), (x) the administrator of the LIBO Base Rate has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBO Base Rate will permanently or indefinitely cease to be published by it (and there is no successor administrator that will continue publication of the LIBO Base Rate), (y) the supervisor for the administrator of the LIBO Base Rate has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBO Base Rate will permanently or indefinitely cease to be published or (z) the supervisor for the administrator of the LIBO Base Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBO Base Rate may no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to the LIBO Rate that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the United States at such time, and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable (and make adjustments to applicable margins and related amendments to this Agreement as referred to below such that the all-in interest rate based on the replacement index will, to the extent practicable, be equivalent to the all-in LIBO Rate-based interest rate in effect prior to its replacement); provided that, if such alternate rate of interest as so determined would be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 13.04, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date notice of such alternate rate of interest is provided to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that such Required Lenders object to such amendment. Until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with this clause (c) (but, in the case of the circumstances described in clause (ii)(w), clause (ii)(x) or clause (ii)(y) of the first sentence of this Section 5.02(c), only to the extent the LIBO Base Rate for such Interest Period is not available or published at such time on a current basis), (x) any Notice of Continuation/Conversion that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans shall be ineffective and (y) if any Notice of Borrowing requests a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans, such Borrowing shall be made as ABR Loans.
SECTION 5.03.    Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that any change after the date hereof in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender or its Applicable Lending Office to honor its obligation to make or maintain LIBOR Loans hereunder (and, in the sole opinion of such Lender, the designation of a different Applicable Lending Office would either not avoid such unlawfulness or would be disadvantageous to such Lender), then such Lender shall promptly notify Borrower thereof (with a copy to Administrative Agent) and such Lender’s obligation to make or continue, or to convert Loans of any other Type into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain LIBOR Loans (in which case the provisions of Section 5.04 shall be applicable).
SECTION 5.04.    Treatment of Affected Loans. If the obligation of any Lender to make LIBOR Loans or to continue, or to convert ABR Loans into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 5.03, such Lender’s LIBOR Loans shall be automatically converted into ABR Loans on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for such LIBOR Loans (or on such earlier date as such Lender may specify to Borrower with a copy to Administrative Agent as is required by law) and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 5.03 which gave rise to such conversion no longer exist:
(i)    to the extent that such Lender’s LIBOR Loans have been so converted, all payments and prepayments of principal which would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s LIBOR Loans shall be applied instead to its ABR Loans; and
(ii)    all Loans which would otherwise be made or continued by such Lender as LIBOR Loans shall be made or continued instead as ABR Loans and all ABR Loans of such Lender which would otherwise be converted into LIBOR Loans shall remain as ABR Loans.
If such Lender gives notice to Borrower with a copy to Administrative Agent that the circumstances specified in Section 5.03 which gave rise to the conversion of such Lender’s LIBOR Loans pursuant to this Section 5.04 no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when LIBOR Loans are outstanding, such Lender’s ABR Loans shall be automatically converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding LIBOR Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding LIBOR Loans and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, Types and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Commitments.
SECTION 5.05.    Compensation.
(a)    Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any loss or expense (excluding any loss of profits or margin) which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (1) default by Borrower in payment when due of the principal amount of or interest on any LIBOR Loan, (2) default by Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of LIBOR Loans after Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (3) Borrower making any prepayment other than on the date specified in the relevant prepayment notice, or (4) the conversion or the making of a payment or a prepayment (including any repayments or prepayments made pursuant to Sections 2.09 or 2.10 or as a result of an acceleration of Loans pursuant to Section 11.01 or as a result of the replacement of a Lender pursuant to Section 2.11 or 13.04(b)) of LIBOR Loans on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto, including in each case, any such loss (excluding any loss of profits or margin) or expense arising from the reemployment of funds obtained by it or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained.
(b)    For the purpose of calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this Section 5.05 each Lender shall be deemed to have actually funded its relevant LIBOR Loan through the purchase of a deposit bearing interest at the LIBO Base Rate in an amount equal to the amount of the LIBOR Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period; provided, however, that each Lender may fund each of its LIBOR Loans in any manner it sees fit, and the foregoing assumption shall be utilized only for the calculation of amounts payable under this subsection. Any Lender requesting compensation pursuant to this Section 5.05 will furnish to Administrative Agent and Borrower a certificate setting forth the basis and amount of such request and such certificate, absent manifest error, shall be conclusive. Without limiting the survival of any other covenant hereunder, this covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Obligations and all other amounts payable hereunder.
SECTION 5.06.    Net Payments.
(a)    Except as provided in this Section 5.06(a), all payments made by or on account of any obligation of any Credit Party hereunder or under any Note, Guarantee or other Credit Document will be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense. Except as required by Law, all such payments will be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any Taxes (including Taxes imposed or asserted on amounts payable under this Section 5.06). If, however, applicable Laws require any withholding agent to withhold or deduct any Tax, such Tax shall be withheld or deducted in accordance with such Laws as reasonably determined by such withholding agent. The applicable withholding agent shall timely pay the amount of any Taxes deducted or withheld in respect of a payment made by a Credit Party hereunder or under any note, Guarantee or other Credit Document to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law. If any Credit Party is the applicable withholding agent, Borrower shall furnish to Administrative Agent within 45 days after the date the payment of any Taxes is due pursuant to applicable Law documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent evidencing such payment by the applicable Credit Party. If any Covered Taxes are so deducted or withheld by any applicable withholding agent, then the applicable Credit Party agrees to increase the sum payable by such Credit Party so that, after such deduction or withholding (including such deduction or withholding on account of Covered Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5.06) the amount received by each Lender or, in the case of payments made to the Administrative Agent for its own account, the Administrative Agent, will not be less than the amount such recipient would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made. The Credit Parties agree to jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and reimburse any of them upon written request, for the amount of any Covered Taxes that are levied or imposed and paid by such indemnitee (including Covered Taxes imposed or asserted on amounts payable under this Section 5.06) and for any reasonable expenses arising therefrom in each case, whether or not such Covered Taxes were correctly or legally imposed, other than any interest or penalties that are determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Such written request shall include a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis of such request and such certificate, absent manifest error, shall be conclusive.
(b)    %3.    Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to any payments made under any Credit Document shall deliver to Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by 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 Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable 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 set forth in Section 5.06(b)(ii), (c), and (d) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.06(b), no Lender shall be required to provide any documentation that such Lender is not legally eligible to deliver.
(i)    any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to 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 Borrower or the Administrative Agent), two executed original copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding. Any Foreign Lender shall deliver to Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or the Administrative Agent), two executed original copies of whichever of the following is applicable: (1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to an applicable income tax treaty; (2) IRS Form W-8ECI; (3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and that no interest payments in connection with any Credit Documents are effectively connected with such Foreign Lender’s conduct of a U.S. trade or business and (y) IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E; or (4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Foreign Lender is a partnership or participating Lender), IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-2 or Exhibit D-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 not a participating Lender 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 D-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner. Any Foreign Lender shall deliver to Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or the Administrative Agent), two executed original 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 Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. Each Lender agrees that if any documentation it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such documentation or promptly notify Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal ineligibility to do so.
(c)    On the Closing Date, the Administrative Agent shall provide Borrower with two executed original copies of IRS Form W-8IMY (or any applicable successor forms) properly completed and duly executed to treat the Administrative Agent as a U.S. person (as described in U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.1441-1(b)(2)(iv)(A) or IRS Form W-9.
(d)    If a payment made to a Lender under any Credit 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 Borrower and Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as may be necessary for Borrower and Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine whether such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment.
(e)    In addition, Borrower agrees to timely pay any present or future stamp, documentary, recording, intangible, filing or similar Taxes which arise from any payment made hereunder or under any other Credit Document or from the execution, delivery, filing, performance, enforcement, recordation or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Credit Document, except any such Taxes that are imposed with respect to an assignment (other than an assignment made pursuant to Section 2.11(a) at the request of Borrower) if such Tax is imposed as a result of a present or former connection of the transferor or transferee with the jurisdiction imposing such Tax (other than connections arising from having executed, delivered, become a party to, performed its obligations under, received payments under, received or perfected a security interest under, engaged in any other transaction pursuant to or enforced any Credit Document) (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).
(f)    Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 5.06 agrees to use (at the Credit Parties’ expense) reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office if the making of such change would avoid the need for, or in the opinion of such Lender, materially reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the sole judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.
(g)    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 5.06 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.06), 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 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) 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.
(h)    Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to deliver to the Credit Parties and to any successor Administrative Agent any documentation provided by such Lender to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 5.06(b) or Section 5.06(d).
ARTICLE VI.    

GUARANTEES
SECTION 6.01.    The Guarantees. Each (a) Guarantor, jointly and severally with each other Guarantor, hereby guarantees as primary obligor and not as surety to each Secured Party and its successors and assigns the prompt payment and performance in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, demand or otherwise) of the principal of and interest (including any interest, fees, costs or charges that would accrue but for the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code after any bankruptcy or insolvency petition under the Bankruptcy Code) on the Loans made by the Lenders to, and the Notes held by each Lender of, Borrower, and (b) Credit Party, jointly and severally with each other Credit Party, hereby guarantees as primary obligor and not as surety to each Secured Party and its successors and assigns the prompt payment and performance in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the principal of and interest (including any interest, fees, costs or charges that would accrue but for the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code after any bankruptcy or insolvency petition under the Bankruptcy Code) of all other Obligations from time to time owing to the Secured Parties by any other Credit Party under any Credit Document, or any Swap Contract entered into with a Swap Provider, in each case now or hereinafter created, incurred or made, whether absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated and strictly in accordance with the terms thereof; provided, that (i) the obligations guaranteed shall exclude obligations under any Swap Contract with respect to which the applicable Swap Provider or Cash Management Bank, as applicable, provides notice to Borrower that it does not want such Swap Contract to be secured, and (ii) as to each Guarantor the obligations guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder shall not include any Excluded Swap Obligations in respect of such Guarantor (such obligations being guaranteed pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) above being herein collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations” (it being understood that the Guaranteed Obligations of Borrower shall be limited to those referred to in clause (b) above)). Each Credit Party, jointly and severally with each other Credit Party, hereby agrees that if any other Credit Party shall fail to pay in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) any of the Guaranteed Obligations, such Credit Party will promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal.
SECTION 6.02.    Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of the Credit Parties under Section 6.01 shall constitute a guaranty of payment (and not of collection) and are absolute, irrevocable and unconditional, joint and several, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations under this Agreement, the Notes or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor (except for payment in full). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of any of the Credit Parties with respect to its respective guaranty of the Guaranteed Obligations which shall remain absolute, irrevocable and unconditional under any and all circumstances as described above:
(i)    at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Credit Parties, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;
(ii)    the maturity of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be amended in any respect, or any right under the Credit Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be amended or waived in any respect or any other guarantee of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor shall be released or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with;
(iii)    the release of any other Credit Party pursuant to Section 6.08;
(iv)    any renewal, extension or acceleration of, or any increase in the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any amendment, supplement, modification or waiver of, or any consent to departure from, the Credit Documents;
(v)    any failure or omission to assert or enforce or agreement or election not to assert or enforce, delay in enforcement, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy (whether arising under any Credit Documents, at law, in equity or otherwise) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any other guaranty of or security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations;
(vi)    any settlement, compromise, release, or discharge of, or acceptance or refusal of any offer of payment or performance with respect to, or any substitutions for, the Guaranteed Obligations or any subordination of the Guaranteed Obligations to any other obligations;
(vii)    the validity, perfection, non-perfection or lapse in perfection, priority or avoidance of any security interest or lien, the release of any or all collateral securing, or purporting to secure, the Guaranteed Obligations or any other impairment of such collateral;
(viii)    any exercise of remedies with respect to any security for the Guaranteed Obligations (including, without limitation, any collateral, including the Collateral securing or purporting to secure any of the Guaranteed Obligations) at such time and in such order and in such manner as the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties may decide and whether or not every aspect thereof is commercially reasonable and whether or not such action constitutes an election of remedies and even if such action operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy that any Credit Party would otherwise have; or
(ix)    any other circumstance whatsoever which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Credit Party as a guarantor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations or which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of any Credit Party as a guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, or of such Credit Party under the guarantee contained in this Article VI or of any security interest granted by any Credit Party in its capacity as a guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether in a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or under any other federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, or similar law, or in any other instance.
The Credit Parties hereby expressly waive diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest, marshaling and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that any Secured Party thereof exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against any Credit Party under this Agreement or the Notes or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations. The Credit Parties waive any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension, waiver, termination or accrual of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by any Secured Party thereof upon this guarantee or acceptance of this guarantee, and the Guaranteed Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon this guarantee, and all dealings between the Credit Parties and the Secured Parties shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this guarantee. This guarantee shall be construed as a continuing, absolute, irrevocable and unconditional guarantee of payment and performance without regard to any right of offset with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations at any time or from time to time held by the Secured Parties, and the obligations and liabilities of the Credit Parties hereunder shall not be conditioned or contingent upon the pursuit by the Secured Parties or any other Person at any time of any right or remedy against any Credit Party or against any other Person which may be or become liable in respect of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or against any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto. This guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and be binding in accordance with and to the extent of its terms upon the Credit Parties and the successors and assigns thereof, and shall inure to the benefit of the Secured Parties, and their respective successors and assigns, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of this Agreement there may be no Guaranteed Obligations outstanding.
For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 6.02 shall permit amendments to the Credit Documents or an acceleration of the Obligations other than as set forth in the Credit Documents.
SECTION 6.03.    Reinstatement. The obligations of the Credit Parties under this Article VI shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any Credit Party in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise. The Credit Parties jointly and severally agree that they will indemnify each Secured Party on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable fees of counsel) incurred by such Secured Party in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, other than any costs or expenses resulting from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of, or material breach by, such Secured Party.
SECTION 6.04.    Subrogation; Subordination. Each Credit Party hereby agrees that until the payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations and the expiration and termination of the Commitments of the Lenders under this Agreement it shall not exercise any right or remedy arising by reason of any performance by it of its guarantee in Section 6.01, whether by subrogation, contribution or otherwise, against any Credit Party of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations. The payment of any amounts due with respect to any indebtedness of any Credit Party now or hereafter owing to any Credit Party by reason of any payment by such Credit Party under the Guarantee in this Article VI is hereby subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Credit Party agrees that it will not demand, sue for or otherwise attempt to collect any such indebtedness of any other Credit Party to such Credit Party until the Obligations shall have been paid in full in cash. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and any amounts are paid to the Credit Parties in violation of the foregoing limitation, such amounts shall be collected, enforced and received by such Credit Party as trustee for the Secured Parties and be paid over to Administrative Agent on account of the Guaranteed Obligations without affecting in any manner the liability of such Credit Party under the other provisions of the guaranty contained herein.
SECTION 6.05.    Remedies. The Credit Parties jointly and severally agree that, as between the Credit Parties and the Lenders, the obligations of any Credit Party under this Agreement and the Notes may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Article XI (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in said Article XI) for purposes of Section 6.01, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or such obligations from becoming automatically due and payable arising under the Bankruptcy Code or any other federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other law providing for protection from creditors) as against such other Credit Parties and that, in the event of such declaration (or such obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such obligations (whether or not due and payable by Borrower) shall forthwith become due and payable by the other Credit Parties for purposes of Section 6.01.
SECTION 6.06.    Continuing Guarantee. The guarantee in this Article VI is a continuing guarantee of payment, and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising.
SECTION 6.07.    General Limitation on Guarantee Obligations. In any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Credit Party under Section 6.01 would otherwise be held or determined to be void, voidable, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under Section 6.01, then, notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Credit Party, any Secured Party or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.
SECTION 6.08.    Release of Guarantors. If, in compliance with the terms and provisions of the Credit Documents, the Equity Interests of any Guarantor are directly or indirectly sold or otherwise transferred such that such Guarantor no longer constitutes a Subsidiary (a “Transferred Guarantor”) to a Person or Persons, none of which is a Credit Party, such Transferred Guarantor, upon the consummation of such sale or transfer, shall be automatically released from its obligations under this Agreement (including under Section 13.03 hereof) and the other Credit Documents, and its obligations to pledge and grant any Collateral owned by it pursuant to any Security Document, and the pledge of Equity Interests in any Transferred Guarantor to Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security Documents shall be automatically released, and, so long as Borrower shall have provided the Agents such certifications or documents as any Agent shall reasonably request, Collateral Agent shall take such actions as are necessary to effect and evidence each release described in this Section 6.08 in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Security Documents and this Agreement.
SECTION 6.09.    Keepwell. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Credit Party to honor all of its obligations under the Guarantee in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 6.09 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 6.09, or otherwise under the Guarantee, as it relates to such Credit Party, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section shall remain in full force and effect until a discharge of Guaranteed Obligations. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 6.09 constitute, and this Section 6.09 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Credit Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.
SECTION 6.10.    Right of Contribution. Each Credit Party hereby agrees that to the extent that a Credit Party (a “Funding Credit Party”) shall have paid more than its Fair Share (as defined below) of any payment made hereunder, such Credit Party shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Credit Party hereunder which has not paid its Fair Share of such payment. Each Credit Party’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 6.04. The provisions of this Section 6.10 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Credit Party to the Secured Parties, and each Credit Party shall remain liable to the Secured Parties for the full amount guaranteed by such Credit Party hereunder. “Fair Share” means, with respect to a Credit Party as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (i) the ratio of (A) the Adjusted Maximum Amount (as defined below) with respect to such Credit Party to (B) the aggregate of the Adjusted Maximum Amounts with respect to all Credit Parties multiplied by (ii) the aggregate amount paid or distributed on or before such date by all Funding Credit Parties under this Article VI in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations. “Fair Share Shortfall” means, with respect to a Credit Party as of any date of determination, the excess, if any, of the Fair Share of such Credit Party over the Aggregate Payments of such Credit Party. “Adjusted Maximum Amount” means, with respect to a Credit Party as of any date of determination, the maximum aggregate amount of the obligations of such Credit Party under this Article VI; provided that, solely for purposes of calculating the “Adjusted Maximum Amount” with respect to any Credit Party for purposes of this Section 6.10, any assets or liabilities of such Credit Party arising by virtue of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification or any rights to or obligations of contribution hereunder shall not be considered as assets or liabilities of such Credit Party. “Aggregate Payments” means, with respect to a Credit Party as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (i) the aggregate amount of all payments and distributions made on or before such date by such Credit party in respect of this Article VI (including in respect of this Section 6.10) minus (ii) the aggregate amount of all payments received on or before such date by such Credit Party from the other Credit Parties as contributions under this Section 6.10. The amounts payable as contributions hereunder shall be determined as of the date on which the related payment or distribution is made by the applicable Funding Credit Party.

(b)    No Credit Party is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose, whether immediate, incidental or ultimate, of buying or carrying Margin Stock.

All of the assets and Property owned by, leased to or used by each Credit Party in its respective businesses are in good operating condition and repair in all material respects (ordinary wear and tear and casualty and force majeure excepted) except in each case where the failure of such asset to meet such requirements would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
SECTION 8.14.    Security Interest; Absence of Financing Statements; Etc. The Security Documents, once executed and delivered, will create, in favor of Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as security for the obligations purported to be secured thereby, a valid and enforceable security interest in and Lien upon all of the Collateral (subject to applicable Gaming Laws and any applicable provisions set forth in the Security Documents with respect to limitations or exclusions from the requirement to perfect the security interests and Liens on the collateral described therein), and upon (i) filing, recording, registering or taking such other actions as may be necessary with the appropriate Governmental Authorities (including payment of applicable filing and recording taxes), (ii) the taking of possession or control by Collateral Agent of the Pledged Collateral with respect to which a security interest may be perfected only by possession or control which possession or control shall be given to Collateral Agent to the extent possession or control by Collateral Agent is required by the Pledge Agreement and (iii) delivery of the applicable documents to Collateral Agent in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Security Documents, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, such security interest shall be a perfected security interest in and Lien upon all of the Collateral (subject to any applicable provisions set forth in the Security Documents with respect to limitations or exclusions from the requirement to perfect the security interests and Liens on the collateral described therein) superior to and prior to the rights of all third Persons and subject to no Liens, in each case, other than Permitted Liens.
SECTION 8.15.    Licenses and Permits. Except as set forth on Schedule 8.15, each Company holds all material governmental permits, licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals necessary for the Credit Parties to own, lease, and operate their respective Properties and to operate their respective businesses as presently conducted (collectively, the “Permits”), except for Permits the failure of which to obtain would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
SECTION 8.16.    Disclosure. (a) The information, reports, financial statements, exhibits and schedules furnished in writing by or on behalf of any Credit Party to any Secured Party in connection with this Agreement and the other Credit Documents or included or delivered pursuant thereto, but in each case excluding all projections and general industry or economic data, whether prior to or after the date of this Agreement, when taken as a whole and giving effect to all supplements and updates, do not contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements herein or therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading. The projections and pro forma financial information furnished at any time by any Credit Party to any Secured Party pursuant to this Agreement have been prepared in good faith based on assumptions believed by Borrower to be reasonable at the time made, it being recognized by the Lenders that such financial information as it relates to future events is not to be viewed as fact and that actual results during the period or periods covered by such financial information may differ from the projected results set forth therein by a material amount and no Credit Party, however, makes any representation as to the ability of any Company to achieve the results set forth in any such projections.
(b) As of the Closing Date, to the best knowledge of the Borrower, the information included in the Beneficial Ownership Certification provided on or prior to the Closing Date to any Lender in connection with this Agreement is true and correct in all respects.
SECTION 8.17.    Solvency.

(a)    First, to the payment of all reasonable costs and expenses, fees, commissions and Taxes of such sale, collection or other realization including compensation to Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent and their respective agents and counsel, and all expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent in connection therewith and all amounts for which Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable is entitled to indemnification pursuant to the provisions of any Credit Document;
(b)    Second, to the payment of all other reasonable costs and expenses of such sale, collection or other realization and of any receiver of any part of the Collateral appointed pursuant to the applicable Security Documents including compensation to the other Secured Parties and their agents and counsel and all costs, liabilities and advances made or incurred by the other Secured Parties in connection therewith;

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Obligations arising under Credit Swap Contracts shall be excluded from the application described above if Administrative Agent has not received written notice thereof, together with such supporting documentation as Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Swap Provider. Each Swap Provider not a party to this Agreement that has given the notice contemplated by the preceding sentence shall, by such notice, be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of Article XII hereof for itself and its Affiliates as if a “Lender” party hereto.
ARTICLE XII.    

AGENTS
SECTION 12.01.    Appointment. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints DB to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, and authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, including pursuant to regulatory requirements of any Gaming Authority consistent with the intents and purposes of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. DB is hereby appointed Auction Manager hereunder, and each Lender hereby authorizes the Auction Manager to act as its agent in accordance with the terms hereof and of the other Credit Documents; provided, that Borrower shall have the right to select and appoint a replacement Auction Manager from time to time by written notice to Administrative Agent, and any such replacement shall also be so authorized to act in such capacity. Each Lender agrees that the Auction Manager shall have solely the obligations in its capacity as the Auction Manager as are specifically described in this Agreement and shall be entitled to the benefits of this Article XII, as applicable. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize each of the Agents (other than the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and the Auction Manager) to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to such Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders, and neither Borrower nor any other Credit Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions of this Article XII, except to the extent set forth in this Section 12.01, Section 12.06 and Section 12.07(b). It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Credit Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to any Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.
SECTION 12.02.    Rights as a Lender. Any Person serving as an Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender (if applicable) as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as such Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not an Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.
SECTION 12.03.    Exculpatory Provisions. No Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents, and each Agent’s duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Agent:
(a)    shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties with respect to any Credit Party, any Lender or any other Person, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;
(b)    shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Credit Documents that the Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Credit Documents), provided that no Agent shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Credit Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and
(c)    shall, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any of Borrower or any of its respective Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as such Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or, such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 11.01 and 13.04) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given in writing to such Agent by Borrower or a Lender.
No Agent shall 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 Credit 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 Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article VII or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent.
The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for, and shall not incur any liability with respect to, determining whether any assignee or potential assignee of the Loans or Commitments hereunder is a Disqualified Lender. The Administrative Agent does not warrant, nor accept responsibility, nor shall the Administrative Agent have any liability with respect to the administration, submission or any other matter related to the rates in the definition of “LIBO Rate” or with respect to any comparable or successor rate thereto.
SECTION 12.04.    Reliance by Agents. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, each Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless such Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
SECTION 12.05.    Delegation of Duties. Each Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Credit Document by or through any one or more sub agents appointed by such Agent. Each Agent and any such sub agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub agent and to the Related Parties of each 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 an Agent. No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that an Agent acted with gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.
SECTION 12.06.    Resignation of Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent.
(a)    The Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent may at any time give notice of their resignation to the Lenders and Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the prior written consent of Borrower (unless an Event of Default specified in Section 11.01(b) or 11.01(c) or an Event of Default specified in Section 11.01(g) or 11.01(h) with respect to Borrower 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. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent gives notice of their resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders and Borrower (unless an Event of Default specified in Section 11.01(b) or 11.01(c) or an Event of Default specified in Section 11.01(g) or 11.01(h) with respect to Borrower has occurred and is continuing)) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.
(b)    If the Person serving as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (c) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to Borrower and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent and, in consultation with Borrower, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.
(c)    With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (1) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties under any of the Credit Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent is appointed) and (2) except for any indemnity payments or other amounts then owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall instead be made by or to each Secured Party directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or removed) Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent as of the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date, as applicable), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Credit Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Borrower and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s and Collateral Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 13.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, their 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 or removed Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent was acting as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent.
SECTION 12.07.    Nonreliance on Agents and Other Lenders.
(a)    Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any 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 any 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 Credit Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
(b)    Each Lender acknowledges that in connection with Borrower Loan Purchases, (i) Borrower may purchase or acquire Term Loans hereunder from the Lenders from time to time, subject to the restrictions set forth in the definition of Eligible Assignee and in Section 13.05(d), (ii) Borrower currently may have, and later may come into possession of, information regarding such Term Loans or the Credit Parties hereunder that is not known to such Lender and that may be material to a decision by such Lender to enter into an assignment of such Loans hereunder (“Excluded Information”), (iii) such Lender has independently and without reliance on any other party made such Lender’s own analysis and determined to enter into an assignment of such Loans and to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby notwithstanding such Lender’s lack of knowledge of the Excluded Information and (iv) Borrower shall have no liability to such Lender, and such Lender hereby waives and releases, to the extent permitted by law, any claims such Lender may have against Borrower, under applicable laws or otherwise, with respect to the nondisclosure of the Excluded Information; provided, however, that the Excluded Information shall not and does not affect the truth or accuracy of the representations or warranties of Borrower in the Standard Terms and Conditions set forth in the applicable assignment agreement. Each Lender further acknowledges that the Excluded Information may not be available to Administrative Agent, Auction Manager or the other Lenders hereunder.
SECTION 12.08.    Indemnification. The Lenders agree to reimburse and indemnify each Agent in its capacity as such ratably according with its “percentage” as used in determining the Required Lenders at such time or, if the Commitments have terminated and all Loans have been repaid in full, as determined immediately prior to such termination and repayment (with such “percentages” to be determined as if there are no Defaulting Lenders), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, reasonable expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following the payment of the Obligations) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent in its capacity as such in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or the transactions contemplated hereby or any action taken or omitted to be taken by such Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing, but only to the extent that any of the foregoing is not paid by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable to any Agent for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements (x) resulting primarily from the gross negligence, or willful misconduct of such Agent (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision) or (y) relating to or arising out of the Fee Letter. If any indemnity furnished to any Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of such Agent be insufficient or become impaired, such Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished. The agreements in this Section 12.08 shall survive the payment of all Obligations.
SECTION 12.09.    No Other Duties. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, Documentation Agents or Lead Arrangers shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Auction Manager, or a Lender hereunder.
SECTION 12.10.    Holders. Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment, transfer or endorsement thereof, as the case may be, shall have been filed with Administrative Agent. Any request, authority or consent of any Person or entity who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee, assignee or indorsee, as the case may be, of such Note or of any Note or Notes issued in exchange therefor.
SECTION 12.11.    Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Credit Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
(a)    to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Secured Parties (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Secured Parties and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Secured Parties under Sections 2.05 and 13.03) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
(b)    to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;
and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender (and each Secured Party by accepting the benefits of the Collateral) to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Secured Parties, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.05 and 13.03.
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Secured Party any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Secured Party to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Secured Party in any such proceeding.
SECTION 12.12.    Collateral Matters.
(a)    Each Lender (and each other Secured Party by accepting the benefits of the Collateral) authorizes and directs Collateral Agent to enter into the Security Documents for the benefit of the Secured Parties and to hold and enforce the Liens on the Collateral on behalf of the Secured Parties. Collateral Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of all of the Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender, from time to time prior to an Event of Default, to take any action with respect to any Collateral or Security Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the security interest in and liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Security Documents. The Lenders hereby authorize Collateral Agent to take the actions set forth in Section 13.04(g). Upon request by Administrative Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing Collateral Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to Section 13.04(g).
(b)    Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Lenders, the other Secured Parties or any other Person to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by any Credit Party or is cared for, protected or insured or that the Liens granted to Collateral Agent pursuant to the applicable Security Documents have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at all or in any manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to Collateral Agent in Section 12.01 or in this Section 12.12 or in any of the Security Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral or any part thereof, or any act, omission or event related thereto, Collateral Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given Collateral Agent’s own interest in the Collateral or any part thereof as one of the Lenders and that Collateral Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to the Lenders or the other Secured Parties, except for its gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).
SECTION 12.13.    Withholding Tax. To the extent required by any applicable Requirement of Law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender, an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. Without limiting or expanding the provisions of Section 5.06, each Lender shall, indemnify the relevant Administrative Agent (to the extent that Administrative Agent has not already been reimbursed by the Credit Parties and without limiting or expanding the obligation of the Credit Parties to do so), and shall make payable in respect thereof within thirty (30) calendar days after demand therefor, against any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against Administrative Agent by the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority as a result of the failure of Administrative Agent to properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of such Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not delivered or not property executed, or because such Lender failed to notify Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding tax ineffective). A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Credit Document against any amount due Administrative Agent under this Section 12.13. The agreements in this Section 12.13 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of any Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
SECTION 12.14.    Swap Contracts. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein or in any Security Document, no Swap Provider that obtains the benefits of Section 11.02, Article VI or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Security Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Credit Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Credit Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article XII to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Obligations arising under Swap Contracts unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request from the applicable Swap Provider.
ARTICLE XIII.

No failure on the part of Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, power or privilege under any Credit Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under any Credit Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

Borrower shall indemnify each Indemnitee from all Losses resulting from the reliance by such Indemnitee on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of Borrower (except to the extent resulting from such Indemnitee’s own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct or material breach of any Credit Document) and believed by such Indemnitee in good faith to be genuine. All telephonic notices to and other communications with Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent may be recorded by Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.

Without limiting the rights of any Agent under this Section 13.03(a), each Agent, promptly after a request of Borrower from time to time, will advise Borrower of an estimate of any amount anticipated to be incurred by such Agent and reimbursed by Borrower under this Section 13.03(a).
(b)    The Credit Parties, jointly and severally, hereby agree to indemnify each Agent, each Lender and their respective Affiliates, directors, trustees, officers, employees, representatives, advisors, partners and agents (each, an “Indemnitee”) from, and hold each of them harmless against, any and all Losses incurred by, imposed on or asserted against any of them directly or indirectly arising out of or by reason of or relating to the negotiation, execution, delivery, performance, administration or enforcement of any Credit Document, any of the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents (including the Transactions), any breach by any Credit Party of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained in any Credit Document in connection with any of the Transactions, the use or proposed use of any of the Loans or the use of any collateral security for the Obligations (including the exercise by any Agent or Lender of the rights and remedies or any power of attorney with respect thereto or any action or inaction in respect thereof), including all amounts payable by any Lender pursuant to Section 12.08 (provided that any legal expenses shall be limited to the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of one primary legal counsel for all Indemnitees selected by Administrative Agent and of one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction reasonably deemed necessary by the Indemnitees) (and solely in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, one additional of each such counsel for each group of similarly situated Indemnitees), but excluding (i) any such Losses relating to matters referred to in Sections 5.01 or 5.06 (which shall be the sole remedy in respect of matters referred to therein), (ii) any such Losses arising from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct or material breach of any Credit Documents by such Indemnitee or its Related Indemnified Persons (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision), and (iii) any such Losses relating to any dispute between and among Indemnitees that does not involve an act or omission by any Company (other than any claims against Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, any other agent or bookrunner named on the cover page hereto, acting in such capacities or fulfilling such roles). For purposes of this Section 13.03(b), a “Related Indemnified Person” of an Indemnitee means (1) any controlling person or controlled affiliate of such Indemnitee, (2) the respective directors, officers, or employees of such Indemnitee or any of its controlling persons or controlled Affiliates, and (3) the respective agents of such Indemnitee or any of its controlling persons or controlled Affiliates, in the case of this clause (3), acting at the instructions of such Indemnitee, controlling person or such controlled Affiliate; provided that each reference to a controlled Affiliate or controlling person in this sentence pertains to a controlled Affiliate or controlling person involved in the performance of the Indemnitee’s obligations under the facilities.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Credit Parties, jointly and severally, will indemnify each Agent, each Lender and each other Indemnitee from, and hold each Agent, each Lender and each other Indemnitee harmless against, any Losses incurred by, imposed on or asserted against any of them arising under any Environmental Law as a result of (i) the past, present or future operations of any Company (or any predecessor-in-interest to any Company), (ii) the past, present or future condition of any site or facility owned, operated, leased or used at any time by any Company (or any such predecessor-in-interest) to the extent such Losses arise from or relate to the parties’ relationship under the Credit Documents or to any Company’s (or such predecessor-in-interest’s) (A) ownership, operation, lease or use of such site or facility or (B) any aspect of the respective business or operations of such parties, and, in each case shall include, without limitation, any and all such Losses for which any Company could be found liable, or (iii) any Release or threatened Release of any Hazardous Materials at, on, under or from any such site or facility to the extent such Losses arise from or relate to the parties’ relationship under the Credit Documents or to any Company’s (or such predecessor-in-interest’s) (A) ownership, operation, lease or use of such site or facility or (B) any aspect of the respective business or operations of such parties, and, in each case shall include, without limitation, any and all such Losses for which any Company could be found liable, including any such Release or threatened Release that shall occur during any period when any Agent or Lender shall be in possession of any such site or facility following the exercise by such Agent or Lender, as the case may be, of any of its rights and remedies hereunder or under any of the Security Documents; provided, however, that the indemnity hereunder shall be subject to the exclusions from indemnification set forth in the preceding sentence.
To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify and hold harmless set forth in this Section 13.03 or any other provision of any Credit Document providing for indemnification is unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy or otherwise, the Credit Parties, jointly and severally, shall contribute the maximum portion that each of them is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all indemnified liabilities incurred by any of the Persons indemnified hereunder.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no party hereto shall assert, and the parties hereto hereby waive, any claim against any Person, 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 Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit the Credit Parties’ indemnity and reimbursement obligations to the extent set forth in this Section 13.03 (including the Credit Parties’ indemnity and reimbursement obligations to indemnify the Indemnitees for indirect, special, punitive or consequential damage that are included in any third party claim in connection with which such Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder). 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 to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct or material breach of any Credit Document by such Indemnitee as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
SECTION 13.04.    Amendments and Waiver.
(a)    Neither this Agreement nor any other Credit Document nor any terms hereof or thereof may be amended, modified, changed or waived, unless such amendment, modification, change or waiver is in writing signed by the respective Credit Parties party thereto and the Required Lenders (or Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders); provided, however, that no such amendment, modification, change or waiver shall (and any such amendment, modification, change or waiver set forth below in clauses (i) through (vi) of this Section 13.04(a) shall only require the approval of the Agents and/or Lenders whose consent is required therefor pursuant to such clauses):
(i)    extend the date for any scheduled payment of principal on any Loan or Note or extend the termination date of any of the Commitments, increase any Commitments, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest (other than as a result of any waiver of the applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates) or fees thereon, or forgive or reduce the principal amount thereof, without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby (it being understood that any amendment or modification to the financial definitions in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in any rate of interest or fees for purposes of this clause (i), notwithstanding the fact that such amendment or modification actually results in such a reduction);
(ii)    release (x) all or substantially all of the Collateral (except as provided in the Security Documents) under all the Security Documents without the consent of the Supermajority Lenders or (y) all or substantially all of the Guarantors from the Guarantees without the consent of each Lender;
(iii)    amend, modify, change or waive (x) any provision of Section 11.02 or this Section 13.04 without the consent of each Lender, (y) any other provision of any Credit Document or any other provision of this Agreement that expressly provides that the consent of all Lenders is required, without the consent of each Lender, or (z) any provision of any Credit Document that expressly provides that the consent of the Required Tranche Lenders of a particular Tranche is required, without the consent of the Required Tranche Lenders of such Tranche (in each case, except for technical amendments with respect to additional extensions of credit (including Extended Term Loans) pursuant to this Agreement which afford the benefits or protections to such additional extensions of credit of the type provided to the Term Loans);
(iv)    reduce the percentage specified in the definition of “Required Lenders” or “Required Tranche Lenders” or otherwise amend the definition of “Required Lenders” or “Required Tranche Lenders” without the consent of each Lender (provided that, (x) no such consent shall be required for technical amendments with respect to additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement, and (y) with the consent of the Required Lenders, additional extensions of credit (including Extended Term Loans) pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Required Lenders and/or Required Tranche Lenders on substantially the same basis as the extensions of Loans and Commitments are included on the Closing Date);
(v)    amend, modify, change or waive Section 4.02 or Section 4.07(b) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, or Section 11.02 in a manner that would alter the application of proceeds required thereby, in each case without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby (except for technical amendments with respect to additional extensions of credit (including Extended Term Loans) pursuant to this Agreement which afford the protections to such additional extensions of credit of the type provided to the Term Loans); or
(vi)    impose any greater restriction on the ability of any Lender under a Tranche to assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the written consent of the Required Tranche Lenders for such Tranche;
provided, further, that no such amendment, modification, change or waiver shall (A) increase the Commitments of any Lender over the amount thereof then in effect without the consent of such Lender (it being understood that waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults, or Events of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the total Commitments or a waiver of a mandatory prepayment shall not constitute an increase of the Commitment of any Lender), (B) without the consent of any applicable Agent, amend, modify, change or waive any provision as same relates to the rights or obligations of such Agent, or (C) amend, modify, change, or waive Section 2.10(b) in a manner that by its terms adversely affects the rights in respect of prepayments due to Lenders holding Loans of one Tranche differently from the rights of Lenders holding Loans of any other Tranche without the prior written consent of the Required Tranche Lenders of each adversely affected Tranche (such consent being in lieu of the consent of the Required Lenders required above in this Section 13.04(a)) (except for technical amendments with respect to additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement (including Extended Term Loans) so that such additional extensions may share in the application of prepayments (or commitment reductions) with any Tranche of Term Loans); provided, however, the Required Lenders may waive, in whole or in part, any prepayment so long as the application, as between Tranches, of any portion of such prepayment which is still required to be made is not altered. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that (x) the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Defaulting Lender, (y) the principal and accrued and unpaid interest of such Defaulting Lender’s Loans shall not be reduced or forgiven (other than as a result of any waiver of the applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates), nor shall the date for any scheduled payment of any such amounts be postponed, without the consent of such Defaulting Lender (it being understood that any amendment or modification to the financial definitions in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in any rate of interest or fees for purposes of this clause (y), notwithstanding the fact that such amendment or modification actually results in such a reduction) and (z) 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 shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.
In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Fee Letter may only be amended or changed, or rights or privileges thereunder waived, only by the parties thereto in accordance with the respective provisions thereof.
(b)    If, in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, change or waiver of or to any of the provisions of this Agreement, the consent of the Required Lenders (or in the case of a proposed amendment, modification, change or waiver affecting a particular Class or Tranche, the Lenders holding a majority of the Loans and Commitments with respect to such Class or Tranche) is obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained, then Borrower shall have the right, so long as all non-consenting Lenders whose individual consent is required are treated as described in either clause (i) or (ii) below, to either:
(i)    replace each such non-consenting Lender or Lenders (or, at the option of Borrower, if such non-consenting Lender’s consent is required with respect to a particular Class or Tranche of Loans (or related Commitments), to replace only the Classes or Tranches of Commitments and/or Loans of such non-consenting Lender with respect to which such Lender’s individual consent is required (such Classes or Tranches, the “Affected Classes”)) with one or more Replacement Lenders, so long as, at the time of such replacement, each such Replacement Lender consents to the proposed amendment, modification, change or waiver; provided, further, that (i) at the time of any such replacement, the Replacement Lender shall enter into one or more Assignment Agreements (and with all fees payable pursuant to Section 13.05(b) to be paid by the Replacement Lender) pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire all of the Commitments and outstanding Loans of the Replaced Lender (or, at the option of Borrower if the respective Lender’s consent is required with respect to less than all Tranches of Loans (or related Commitments), the Commitments, and outstanding Loans of the Affected Classes), (ii) at the time of any replacement, the Replaced Lender shall receive an amount equal to the sum of (A) the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of such Lender (other than any Loans not being acquired by the Replacement Lender) and (B) all accrued, but theretofore unpaid, fees and other amounts owing to the Lender with respect to the Loans being so assigned (including any fee owed to such Lender pursuant to Section 2.05(d)) and (iii) all obligations of Borrower owing to such Replaced Lender (other than those specifically described in clause (ii) above in respect of Replaced Lenders for which the assignment purchase price has been, or is concurrently being, paid, and other than those relating to Loans or Commitments not being acquired by the Replacement Lender, but including any amounts which would be paid to a Lender pursuant to Section 5.05 if Borrower were prepaying a LIBOR Loan), as applicable, shall be paid in full to such Replaced Lender, as applicable, concurrently with such replacement. Upon the execution of the respective Assignment Agreement, the payment of amounts referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above, as applicable, the receipt of any consents that would be required for an assignment of the subject Loans and Commitments to such Replacement Lender in accordance with Section 13.05, the Replacement Lender, if any, shall become a Lender hereunder and the Replaced Lender, as applicable, shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder and be released of all its obligations as a Lender, except with respect to indemnification provisions applicable to such Lender under this Agreement, which shall survive as to such Lender and, in the case of any Replaced Lender, except with respect to Loans and Commitments of such Replaced Lender not being acquired by the Replacement Lender; provided, that if the applicable Replaced Lender does not execute the Assignment Agreement within three (3) Business Days after Borrower’s request, execution of such Assignment Agreement by the Replaced Lender shall not be required to effect such assignment; or
(ii)    terminate such non-consenting Lender’s Commitment and/or repay Loans held by such Lender (or, if such non-consenting Lender’s consent is required with respect to a particular Class or Tranche of Loans, the Commitment and Loans of the Affected Class) upon three (3) Business Days’ (or such shorter period as is acceptable to Administrative Agent) prior written notice to Administrative Agent at the Principal Office (which notice Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders). Any such prepayment of the Loans or termination of the Commitments of such Lender shall be made together with accrued and unpaid interest, fees and other amounts owing to such Lender (including all amounts, if any, owing pursuant to Section 2.05(d) and/or Section 5.05) (or if the applicable consent requires approval of all Lenders of a particular Tranche but not all Lenders, then Borrower shall terminate all Commitments and/or repay all Loans, in each case together with payment of all accrued and unpaid interest, fees and other amounts owing to such Lender (including all amounts, if any, owing pursuant to Section 5.05) under such Tranche). Immediately upon any repayment of Loans by Borrower pursuant to this Section 13.04(b)(ii), such Loans repaid or acquired pursuant hereto shall be cancelled for all purposes and no longer outstanding (and may not be resold, assigned or participated out by Borrower) for all purposes of this Agreement and all other Credit Documents (provided, that such purchases and cancellations shall not constitute prepayments or repayments of the Loans for any purpose hereunder), including, but not limited to (A) the making of, or the application of, any payments to the Lenders under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (B) the making of any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (C) the providing of any rights to Borrower as a Lender under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, and (D) the determination of Required Lenders, or for any similar or related purpose, under this Agreement or any other Credit Document; provided, however, that, unless the Commitments which are terminated and Loans which are repaid pursuant to this clause (ii) are immediately replaced in full at such time through the addition of new Lenders or the increase of the Commitments and/or outstanding Loans of existing Lenders (who in each case must consent thereto), then, in the case of any action pursuant to this clause (ii), the Required Lenders (determined after giving effect to the proposed action) shall specifically consent thereto;
provided, that Borrower shall not have the right to replace a Lender, or terminate the Commitments of or repay the Loans of a Lender under this Section 13.04(b), solely as a result of the exercise of such Lender’s rights (and the withholding of any required consent by such Lender) pursuant to clauses (A) through (C) of the second proviso to Section 13.04(a).
(c)    Administrative Agent and Borrower may (without the consent of Lenders) amend any Credit Document to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of Incremental Term Loans, Extended Term Loans, and Other Term Loans. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, such amendment shall become effective without any further consent of any other party to such Credit Document. In addition, upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, Administrative Agent, Borrower and the Lenders providing the relevant Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness may amend this Agreement to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred pursuant thereto (including any amendments necessary to treat the Loans and Commitments subject thereto as Other Term Loans and/or Other Term Loan Commitments). Administrative Agent and Borrower may effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of Administrative Agent and Borrower, to effect the terms of any Refinancing Amendment. Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent may enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents with Borrower as may be necessary in order to establish new tranches or sub-tranches in respect of the Loans and/or Commitments extended pursuant to Section 2.13 or incurred pursuant to Sections 2.12 or 2.15 and such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of Administrative Agent and Borrower in connection with the establishment of such new tranches or sub-tranches, in each case on terms consistent with Section 2.13, Section 2.12 or Section 2.15.
(d)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, Administrative Agent and Borrower (i) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents with the Term Loans (or any Tranche thereof) and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (ii) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders.
(e)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) any Credit Document may be waived, amended, supplemented or modified pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by Borrower and Administrative Agent (without the consent of any Lender) solely to effect administrative changes that are not adverse to any Lender or to correct administrative errors or omissions or to cure an ambiguity, defect or error, or to grant a new Lien for the benefit of the Secured Parties or extend an existing Lien over additional property or to make modifications which are not materially adverse to the Lenders and are requested or required by Gaming Authorities or Gaming Laws and (ii) any Credit Document may be waived, amended, supplemented or modified pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by Borrower and Administrative Agent (without the consent of any Lender) to permit any changes requested or required by any Governmental Authority that are not materially adverse to the Lenders (including any changes relating to qualifications as a permitted holder of debt, licensing or limits on Property that may be pledged as Collateral or available remedies). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (A) additional extensions of credit consented to by Required Lenders shall be permitted hereunder on a ratable basis with the existing Loans (including as to proceeds of, and sharing in the benefits of, Collateral and sharing of prepayments), (B) Collateral Agent shall enter into the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement upon the request of Borrower in connection with the incurrence of Permitted First Priority Refinancing Debt, Permitted First Lien Indebtedness (and Permitted Refinancings thereof that qualify as Permitted First Lien Indebtedness), or Incremental Equivalent Debt (and Permitted Refinancings thereof that satisfy Sections 10.01(m)(i)(C) and 10.01(m)(ii)), as applicable (or any amendments and supplements thereto in connection with the incurrence of additional Permitted First Priority Refinancing Debt, Permitted First Lien Indebtedness (and Permitted Refinancings thereof that qualify as Permitted First Lien Indebtedness) or Incremental Equivalent Debt (and Permitted Refinancings thereof that satisfy Sections 10.01(m)(i)(C) and 10.01(m)(ii))), and (C) Collateral Agent shall enter into the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement upon the request of Borrower in connection with the incurrence of Permitted Second Priority Refinancing Debt or Permitted Second Lien Indebtedness (and Permitted Refinancings thereof that qualify as Permitted Second Lien Indebtedness) (or any amendments and supplements thereto in connection with the incurrence of additional Permitted Second Priority Refinancing Debt or Permitted Second Lien Indebtedness (and Permitted Refinancings thereof that qualify as Permitted Second Lien Indebtedness).
(f)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the applicable Credit Party or Parties and Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent may (in its or their respective sole discretion, or shall, to the extent required by any Credit Document) enter into any amendment or waiver of any Credit Document, or enter into any new agreement or instrument, without the consent of any other Person, to effect the granting, perfection, protection, expansion or enhancement of any security interest in any Collateral or additional property to become Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Parties, or as required by local law to give effect to, or protect any security interest for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in any property or so that the security interests therein comply with applicable Requirements of Law or to release any Collateral which is not required under the Security Documents.
(g)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall (A) release any Lien granted to or held by Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent upon any Collateral (i) upon Payment in Full of the Obligations (other than obligations under any Swap Contracts as to which acceptable arrangements have been made to the satisfaction of the relevant counterparties), (ii) upon the sale, transfer or other disposition of Collateral to the extent required pursuant to the last paragraph in Section 10.05 (and Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent may rely conclusively on a certificate to that effect provided to it by any Credit Party upon its reasonable request without further inquiry) to any Person other than a Credit Party, (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (or the Supermajority Lenders to the extent required by Section 13.04(a)), or (iv) if the property subject to such Lien is owned by a Guarantor, upon release of such Guarantor from its obligations under its Guarantee pursuant to Section 6.08.
SECTION 13.05.    Benefit of Agreement; Assignments; Participations.
(a)    This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto; provided, however, no Credit Party may assign or transfer any of its rights, obligations or interest hereunder or under any other Credit Document (it being understood that a merger or consolidation not prohibited by this Agreement shall not constitute an assignment or transfer) without the prior written consent of all of the Lenders and provided, further, that, although any Lender may transfer, assign or grant participations in its rights hereunder, such Lender shall remain a “Lender” for all purposes hereunder (and may not transfer or assign all or any portion of its Commitments, Loans or related Obligations hereunder except as provided in Section 13.05(b)) and the participant shall not constitute a “Lender” hereunder; and provided, further, that no Lender shall transfer, assign or grant any participation (x) to a natural person, (y) to a Disqualified Lender (unless consented to by Borrower) or (z) under which the participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Credit Document except to the extent such amendment or waiver would (i) extend the date for any scheduled payment on, or the final scheduled maturity of, any Loan or Note in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the amount of the participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the total Commitments or of a mandatory prepayment shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, that an increase in any Commitment (or the available portion thereof) or Loan shall be permitted without the consent of any participant if the participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof and that any amendment or modification to the financial definitions in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in any rate of interest or fees for purposes of this clause (i), notwithstanding the fact that such amendment or modification actually results in such a reduction), (ii) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Credit Party of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or other Credit Document to which it is a party or (iii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral under all of the Security Documents (except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents) supporting the Loans hereunder in which such participant is participating. In the case of any such participation, the participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents (the participant’s rights against such Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such Lender in favor of the participant relating thereto). Subject to the last sentence of this paragraph (a), Borrower agrees that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 5.01, and 5.06 (subject to the obligations and limitations of such Sections, including Section 5.06(b), (c) and (d) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 5.06(b), (c) and (d) shall be delivered solely to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 13.05. To the extent permitted by law, each participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.07 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and related interest amounts) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”). 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. No Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of a 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 Credit Document) to any Person except to the extent such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under United States Treasury Regulations Section 5f.103-1(c) and the United States Proposed Treasury Regulations 1.163-5(b) (or any amended or successor version). A participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 5.01 or 5.06 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such participant, except to the extent the entitlement to a greater payment results from any change in applicable Laws after the date the participant became a participant.
(b)    No Lender (or any Lender together with one or more other Lenders) may assign all or any portion of its Commitments, Loans, and related outstanding Obligations (or, if the Commitments with respect to the relevant Tranche have terminated, outstanding Loans and Obligations) hereunder, except to one or more Eligible Assignees (treating any fund that invests in loans and any other fund that invests in loans and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor of such fund or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor as a single Eligible Assignee) with the consent of Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default pursuant to Section 11.01(b) or 11.01(c), or, with respect to Borrower, 11.01(g) or 11.01(h), has occurred and is continuing, Borrower (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that (x) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments and Loans at the time owing to it, the aggregate amount of the Commitments or Loans subject to such assignment shall not be less than $1.0 million; (y) no such consent of Borrower shall be necessary in the case of an assignment of Term Facility Loans by a Lender to (A) its parent company and/or any Affiliate of such Lender which is at least 50% owned by such Lender or its parent company or (B) one or more other Lenders or any Affiliate of any such other Lender which is at least 50% owned by such other Lender or its parent company (provided that any fund that invests in loans and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor of another fund which is a Lender (or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor) shall be treated as an Affiliate that is at least 50% owned by such other Lender or its parent company for the purposes of this sub-clause (y)(B)), or (C) in the case of any Lender that is a fund that invests in loans, any other fund that invests in loans and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor of any Lender or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor, and (z) Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no Event of Default pursuant to Section 11.01(b) or 11.01(c), or, with respect to Borrower, 11.01(g) or 11.01(h), has occurred and is continuing, no assignment will be permitted to any Lender that will result in such Lender holding, collectively with its Affiliates (including any Person deemed to be an Affiliate for purposes of sub-clause (y)(B) above), Loans and Commitments having an aggregate principal amount in excess of 25% of the aggregate amount of Loans and Commitments then outstanding, without the prior written consent of Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided that Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after a Responsible Officer has received notice thereof. Each assignee shall become a party to this Agreement as a Lender by execution of an Assignment Agreement; provided that (I) Administrative Agent shall, unless it otherwise agrees in its sole discretion, receive at the time of each such assignment, from the assigning or assignee Lender, the payment of a non-refundable assignment fee of $3,500, (II) no such transfer or assignment will be effective until recorded by Administrative Agent on the Register pursuant to Section 2.08, and (III) such assignments may be made on a pro rata basis among Commitments and/or Loans (and related Obligations). To the extent of any assignment permitted pursuant to this Section 13.05(b), the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its assigned Commitments and outstanding Loans (provided that such assignment shall not release such Lender of any claims or liabilities that may exist against such Lender at the time of such assignment). At the time of each assignment pursuant to this Section 13.05(b) to a Person which is not already a Lender hereunder, the respective assignee Lender shall, to the extent legally eligible to do so, provide to Borrower and Administrative Agent the appropriate Internal Revenue Service Forms and other information as described in Sections 5.06(b) and 5.06(d), as applicable. To the extent that an assignment of all or any portion of a Lender’s Commitments, Loans and related outstanding Obligations pursuant to Section 2.11, Section 13.04(b)(i)(B) or this Section 13.05(b) would, under the laws in effect at the time of such assignment, result in increased costs under Section 5.01 or 5.03 from those being charged by the respective assigning Lender prior to such assignment, then Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although Borrower, in accordance with and pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement, shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from Changes in Law after the date of the respective assignment).
(c)    Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or prohibit any Lender from pledging or assigning a security interest in its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment of a security interest to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central banking authority. No pledge pursuant to this Section 13.05(c) shall release the transferor Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or permit the pledgee to become a lender hereunder without otherwise complying with Section 13.05(b).
(d)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 13.05 or any other provision of this Agreement, Borrower and its Subsidiaries may, but shall not be required to, purchase (x) outstanding Loans pursuant to the Auction Procedures established for each such purchase in an auction managed by Auction Manager and (y) outstanding Term Loans through open market purchases, subject solely to the following conditions:
(i)    (x) with respect to any Borrower Loan Purchase pursuant to the Auction Procedures, at the time of the applicable Purchase Notice (as defined in Exhibit K), no Event of Default under Section 11.01(a) or 11.01(b) or, with respect to Borrower, Section 11.01(g) or 11.01(h), has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, and (y) with respect to any Borrower Loan Purchase consummated through an open market purchase, at the time of the applicable assignment, no Event of Default under Section 11.01(a) or 11.01(b) or, with respect to Borrower, Section 11.01(g) or 11.01(h) has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom;
(ii)    immediately upon any Borrower Loan Purchase, the Loans purchased pursuant thereto shall be cancelled for all purposes and no longer outstanding (and may not be resold, assigned or participated out by Borrower) for all purposes of this Agreement and all other Credit Documents (provided; that such purchases and cancellations shall not constitute prepayments or repayments of the Loans (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 2.09, Section 2.10 or Article IV) for any purpose hereunder), including, but not limited to (A) the making of, or the application of, any payments to the Lenders under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (B) the making of any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (C) the providing of any rights to Borrower as a Lender under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, and (D) the determination of Required Lenders, or for any similar or related purpose, under this Agreement or any other Credit Document;
(iii)    with respect to each Borrower Loan Purchase, Administrative Agent shall receive (x) if such Borrower Loan Purchase is consummated pursuant to the Auction Procedures, a fully executed and completed Borrower Assignment Agreement effecting the assignment thereof, and (y) if such Borrower Loan Purchase is consummated pursuant to an open market purchase, a fully executed and completed Open Market Assignment and Assumption Agreement effecting the assignment thereof; and
(iv)    open market purchases of Term Loans by Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall not in the aggregate exceed 25% of the sum of (A) the initial aggregate principal amount of the Term Facility Loans on the Closing Date plus (B) the initial aggregate principal amount of all Incremental Term Loans incurred after the Closing Date and prior to such date of determination.
The assignment fee set forth in Section 13.05(b) shall not be applicable to any Borrower Loan Purchase consummated pursuant to this Section 13.05(d).

Each Affiliate Lender hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent (such appointment being coupled with an interest) as such Affiliate Lender’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Affiliate Lender and in the name of such Affiliate Lender, from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument that the Administrative Agent may deem reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of this clause (e).

SECTION 13.11.    Independence of Representations, Warranties and Covenants. The representations, warranties and covenants contained herein shall be independent of each other and no exception to any representation, warranty or covenant shall be deemed to be an exception to any other representation, warranty or covenant contained herein unless expressly provided, nor shall any such exception be deemed to permit any action or omission that would be in contravention of applicable law.
SECTION 13.12.    Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
SECTION 13.13.    Gaming Laws.
(a)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, this Agreement and the other Credit Documents are subject to the Gaming Laws and the laws involving the sale, distribution and possession of alcoholic beverages and/or tobacco, as applicable (the “Liquor Laws”). Without limiting the foregoing, Administrative Agent, each other Agent, each Lender and each participant acknowledges that (i) it is the subject of being called forward by any Gaming Authority or any Governmental Authority enforcing the Liquor Laws (the “Liquor Authority”), in each of their discretion, for licensing or a finding of suitability or to file or provide other information, and (ii) all rights, remedies and powers under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, including with respect to Pledged Collateral and the entry into and ownership and operation of the Gaming Facilities, and the possession or control of gaming equipment, alcoholic beverages or a gaming or liquor license, may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provisions of the Gaming Laws and Liquor Laws and only to the extent that required approvals (including prior approvals) are obtained from the requisite Governmental Authorities.
(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, Administrative Agent, each other Agent, each Lender and each participant agrees to cooperate with each Gaming Authority and each Liquor Authority (and, in each case, to be subject to Section 2.11) in connection with the administration of their regulatory jurisdiction over Borrower and the other Credit Parties, including, without limitation, the provision of such documents or other information as may be requested by any such Gaming Authorities and/or Liquor Authorities relating to Administrative Agent, any other Agent, any of the Lenders or participants, Borrower and its Subsidiaries or to the Credit Documents.
(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, to the extent any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document excludes any assets from the scope of the Pledged Collateral, or from any requirement to take any action to make effective or perfect any security interest in favor of Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party in the Pledged Collateral, the representations, warranties and covenants made by any Credit Party in this Agreement with respect to the creation, perfection or priority (as applicable) of the security interest granted in favor of Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party (including, without limitation, Article VIII of this Agreement) shall be deemed not to apply to such assets.
(d)    The Collateral Agent, Administrative Agent, Secured Parties and their respective successors and assignees are subject to being called forward by the Gaming Authorities, in their discretion, for licensing or findings of suitability in order to remain entitled to the benefits of this Agreement or any other Credit Document.

Each Lender that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined) to the extent required hereby, notifies Borrower and the Guarantors that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrower and the Guarantors, which information includes the name and address of Borrower and the Guarantors and other information that will allow such Lender to identify Borrower and the Guarantors in accordance with the Act, and Borrower and the Guarantors agree to provide such information from time to time to any Lender.
SECTION 13.15.    [Reserved].
SECTION 13.16.    Waiver of Claims. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the other Credit Documents to the contrary, the Credit Parties hereby agree that Borrower shall not acquire any rights as a Lender under this Agreement as a result of any Borrower Loan Purchase and may not make any claim as a Lender against any Agent or any Lender with respect to the duties and obligations of such Agent or Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents; provided, however, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not impair Borrower’s ability to make a claim in respect of a breach of the representations or warranties or obligations of the relevant assignor in a Borrower Loan Purchase, including in the standard terms and conditions set forth in the assignment agreement applicable to a Borrower Loan Purchase.
SECTION 13.17.    No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Credit Document), Borrower and each other Credit Party acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Documentation Agents, the Lead Arrangers and the Lenders are arm’s-length commercial transactions between Borrower, each other Credit Party and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Documentation Agents, the Lead Arrangers and the Lenders, on the other hand, (B) each of Borrower and the other Credit Parties has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) Borrower and each other Credit Party is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Credit Documents; (ii) (A) the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Documentation Agents, the Lead Arrangers and the Lenders is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for Borrower, any other Credit Party or any of their respective Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) none of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Documentation Agents, the Lead Arrangers or the Lenders has any obligation to Borrower, any other Credit Party or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents or in other written agreements between the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Documentation Agents, the Lead Arrangers or any Lender on one hand and Borrower, any other Credit Party or any of their respective Affiliates on the other hand; and (iii) the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Documentation Agents, the Lead Arrangers and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from, or conflict with, those of Borrower, the other Credit Parties and their respective Affiliates, and none of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Documentation Agents, the Lead Arrangers or the Lenders has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to Borrower, any other Credit Party or any of their respective Affiliates. Each Credit Party agrees that nothing in the Credit Documents will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Documentation Agents, the Lead Arrangers and the Lenders, on the one hand, and such Credit Party, its stockholders or its affiliates, on the other. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each of Borrower and each other Credit Party hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Documentation Agents, the Lead Arrangers or any Lender with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby (other than any agency or fiduciary duty expressly set forth in an any engagement letter referenced in clause (ii)(A)).
SECTION 13.18.    Lender Action. Each Lender agrees that it shall not take or institute any actions or proceedings, judicial or otherwise, for any right or remedy against any Credit Party or any other obligor under any of the Credit Documents or the Swap Contracts, or institute any actions or proceedings, or otherwise commence any remedial procedures, with respect to any Collateral or any other property of any such Credit Party, without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent. The provisions of this Section 13.18 are for the sole benefit of the Agents and Lenders and shall not afford any right to, or constitute a defense available to, any Credit Party.
SECTION 13.19.    Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Credit Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Credit Documents (collectively, the “Charges”) shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If any Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by an Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, the interest and other Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 13.19 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender. Thereafter, interest hereunder shall be paid at the rate(s) of interest and in the manner provided in this Agreement, unless and until the rate of interest again exceeds the Maximum Rate, and at that time this Section 13.19 shall again apply. In no event shall the total interest received by any Lender pursuant to the terms hereof exceed the amount that such Lender could lawfully have received had the interest due hereunder been calculated for the full term hereof at the Maximum Rate. If the Maximum Rate is calculated pursuant to this Section 13.19, such interest shall be calculated at a daily rate equal to the Maximum Rate divided by the number of days in the year in which such calculation is made. If, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 13.19, a court of competent jurisdiction shall finally determine that a Lender has received interest hereunder in excess of the Maximum Rate, Administrative Agent shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, promptly apply such excess in the order specified in this Agreement and thereafter shall refund any excess to Borrower or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise order.
SECTION 13.20.    Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of Borrower is made to any Agent or any Lender, or any Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred and the Agents’ and the Lenders’ Liens, security interests, rights, powers and remedies under this Agreement and each Credit Document shall continue in full force and effect, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by any Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. In such event, each Credit Document shall be automatically reinstated (to the extent that any Credit Document was terminated) and Borrower shall take (and shall cause each other Credit Party to take) such action as may be requested by Administrative Agent and the Lenders to effect such reinstatement.
SECTION 13.21.     Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Credit Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Lender that is an EEA Financial Institution arising under any Credit Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
(a)     the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any Lender that is an EEA Financial Institution; and
(b)    the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:
(i)    a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
(ii)    a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Credit Document; or
(iii)    the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.
SECTION 13.22.    Certain ERISA Matters. (a) Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Credit Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true:
(i) such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise) of one or more Benefit Plans with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments or this Agreement,

(ii) the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement,

(iii) (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement, or

(iv) such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender.

(b) In addition, unless either (1) sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or (2) a Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Credit Party, that the Administrative Agent is not a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Credit Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).
