SECTION 2.04. Swingline Loans.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans to any Borrower from time to time during the Availability Period in Dollars, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (x) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding the Swingline Loan Sublimit or (y) the aggregate principal amount of the total Revolving Exposures exceeding the total Revolving Commitments; provided that (I) the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan and (II) the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make any Swingline Loan to the extent the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans made by the Lender acting as Swingline Lender that are then outstanding, when aggregated with the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans, would exceed the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrowers may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans.

(b) To request a Swingline Loan, the Borrower Agent shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (confirmed by telecopy or transmission by electronic communication), not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the day of a proposed Swingline Loan. Each such notice shall be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B‑5 and shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of the requested Swingline Loan. The Administrative Agent will promptly advise the Swingline Lender of any notice of a request for a Swingline Loan Borrowing received from the applicable Borrower. The Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to the applicable Borrower by means of a credit to the general deposit account of such Borrower with the Swingline Lender (or, in the case of a Swingline Loan made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(e), by remittance to the relevant Issuing Bank or, to the extent that the Applicable Participants have made payments pursuant to Section 2.05(e) to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank, to such Applicable Participants and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear) by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the requested date of such Swingline Loan.

(c) The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Business Day require the Applicable Participants to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which the Applicable Participants will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each Applicable Participant, specifying in such notice such Applicable Participant’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Swingline Loans. Each Applicable Participant hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Applicable Participant’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Swingline Loans. Each Applicable Participant acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Applicable Participant shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Applicable Participant (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Applicable Participants), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Applicable Participants. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower Agent of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the applicable Borrower (or other party on behalf of such Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Applicable Participants that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the Swingline Lender or to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to a Borrower for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve any Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.

(d) Any Swingline Lender may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower Agent, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Swingline Lender and the successor Swingline Lender. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of a Swingline Lender. At the time any such replacement shall become effective the Borrower Agent shall pay all unpaid interest accrued for the account of the replaced Swingline Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(a). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (x) the successor Swingline Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of the replaced Swingline Lender under this Agreement with respect to Swingline Loans made thereafter and (y) references herein to the term “Swingline Lender” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Swingline Lender, or to such successor and all previous Swingline Lenders, as the context shall require. After the replacement of a Swingline Lender hereunder, the replaced Swingline Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of a Swingline Lender under this Agreement with respect to Swingline Loans made by it prior to its replacement, but shall not be required to make additional Swingline Loans.

(e) Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Swingline Lender, any Swingline Lender may resign as a Swingline Lender at any time upon thirty days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower Agent and the Lenders, in which case, such Swingline Lender shall be replaced in accordance with Section 2.04(d) above.

SECTION 2.05. Letters of Credit.

(a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars or Alternative Currencies (provided that any Letter of Credit may be provided on behalf of the Parent Entity or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Parent Entity; provided that in each such case, the Borrowers (i) will be primarily liable for any such Letters of Credit and (ii) shall be required to reimburse any LC Disbursement issued for the account of a Restricted Subsidiary to the same extent as if such LC Disbursement was issued for the account of the Borrowers), in a form reasonably acceptable to the relevant Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the applicable Borrower to, or entered into by the applicable Borrower with, an Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower Agent shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the relevant Issuing Bank) to the relevant Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B‑3 requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the currency in which such Letter of Credit is to be denominated, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. The relevant Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of, and the Administrative Agent shall in turn promptly furnish to the Lenders notice of, any such issuance. If requested by the relevant Issuing Bank, the applicable Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit; provided that such letter of credit application shall not contain terms inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement and shall not impose any additional obligations, liabilities or Liens on any Loan Party during the term of this Agreement. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the LC Exposure shall not exceed the LC Exposure Sublimit, (ii) unless otherwise agreed by the relevant Issuing Bank in its sole discretion, the LC Exposure of each Issuing Bank shall not exceed such Issuing Bank’s LC Commitment and (iii) subject to Section 2.04, the total Revolving Exposures shall not exceed the total Revolving Commitments. The Borrower Agent may, at any time and from time to time, reduce the LC Commitment of any Issuing Bank with the consent of such Issuing Bank; provided that the Borrower Agent shall not reduce the LC Commitment of any Issuing Bank if, after giving effect of such reduction, the conditions set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) above shall not be satisfied.

(c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall, unless otherwise agreed by the relevant Issuing Bank, expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date that is one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, or, in each case, such later date as the relevant Issuing Bank may agree to the extent such Letters of Credit are cash collateralized or backstopped in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Issuing Bank; provided that in the event that an Issuing Bank consents to an expiration date for any Letter of Credit that is following the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, the Applicable Participants shall cease to have risk participations therein on (x) the day following the Revolving Credit Maturity Date or (y) on such later date through which such Letter of Credit is deemed to be outstanding in accordance with Section 1.03.

(d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof or renewing such Letter of Credit or extending the expiration thereof) and without any further action on the part of the relevant Issuing Bank or the Revolving Lenders, such Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Applicable Participant, and each Applicable Participant hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Applicable Participant’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount from time to time available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Applicable Participant hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent in Dollars (in the case of an LC Disbursement in an Alternative Currency, based on the Dollar Equivalent amount thereof at the time of drawing), for the account of the relevant Issuing Bank, such Applicable Participant’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank to the extent not reimbursed by the applicable Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the applicable Borrower for any reason. Each Applicable Participant acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment made in accordance with this Section 2.05(d) by the Applicable Participant for the account of the relevant Issuing Bank shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(e) Reimbursement. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement, in Dollars using the Exchange Rate for the applicable Alternative Currency in relation to Dollars in effect on the date of determination (or such other applicable currency as the applicable Borrower and the applicable Issuing Bank may agree in writing), on (i) the Business Day that the applicable Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m., Local Time, on the day of receipt or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day that the applicable Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt; provided that unless the applicable Borrower elects otherwise, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, to have requested in accordance with Section 2.03 or 2.05 that such payment be financed with an ABR Revolving Borrowing or, if such amount is less than the Borrowing Multiple, a Swingline Loan issued in the Dollar Equivalent amount of such LC Disbursement and, to the extent so financed, the applicable Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan. If a Borrower fails to make such payment when due (or if any such reimbursement payment is required to be refunded to the applicable Borrower for any reason), then (A) if such payment relates to an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit, automatically and with no further action required, the applicable Borrower’s or such other Person’s obligation to reimburse the applicable LC Disbursement shall be permanently converted into an obligation to reimburse the Dollar Equivalent, calculated using the Exchange Rate on the date when such payment was due, of such LC Disbursement and (B) in the case of each LC Disbursement, the Administrative Agent shall notify the applicable Issuing Bank and each Applicable Participant of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the applicable Borrower in respect thereof and such Applicable Participant’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Applicable Participant shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the applicable Borrower in Dollars using the Exchange Rate for the applicable Alternative Currency in relation to Dollars in effect on the date of determination, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Applicable Participant (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Applicable Participants), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the relevant Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Applicable Participants. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the applicable Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the relevant Issuing Bank or, to the extent that the Applicable Participants have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Applicable Participants and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by an Applicable Participant pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Revolving Loans or a Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve any Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrowers’ respective obligations to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the relevant Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, any Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Lenders nor the Issuing Banks, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the relevant Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the relevant Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrowers to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by any Borrower that are caused by the relevant Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the relevant Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the relevant Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(g) Disbursement Procedures. The relevant Issuing Bank shall, within the period as per terms and conditions of Letter of Credit but in any event promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. After examination of such documents, the relevant Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy or transmission by electronic communication in accordance with Section 9.01(b)) of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the applicable Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the relevant Issuing Bank and the Applicable Participants with respect to any such LC Disbursement (other than with respect to the timing of such reimbursement obligation set forth in clause (e) of this Section).

(h) Interim Interest. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the applicable Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the applicable Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans; provided that, if the applicable Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.12(d) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the relevant Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Applicable Participant pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Applicable Participant to the extent of such payment.

(i) Replacement or Addition of Issuing Bank. (%3) Any Issuing Bank may be replaced, or the LC Commitment of any Issuing Bank assigned, at any time by written agreement among the applicable Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the successor or assignee Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement or assignment shall become effective, the applicable Borrowers shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced or assigning Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.11(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement or assignment, (i) the successor or assignee Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the assigning Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or assignee or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank or the assignment of an LC Commitment hereunder, the replaced or assigning Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement or with respect to its remaining LC Commitment (if any), but, in the case of a replacement, shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit. A Lender may become an additional Issuing Bank hereunder at any time by written agreement among the applicable Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and such Lender. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Lenders of any such additional Issuing Bank.

(%4) Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Issuing Bank, any Issuing Bank may resign as an Issuing Bank at any time upon thirty days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower Agent and the Lenders, in which case, such Issuing Bank shall be replaced in accordance with Section 2.05(i)(i) above.

(k) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower Agent receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the applicable Borrowers shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Applicable Participants, an amount in cash and in the relevant currencies equal to the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to a Borrower or the Parent Entity described in paragraph (h) or (i) of Article VII. The applicable Borrowers also shall deposit cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph as and to the extent required by Section 2.22(a)(iii). Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the Borrowers’ risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Monies in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the relevant Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the applicable Borrowers for the LC Exposure, at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of the Required Revolving Lenders), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the applicable Borrowers under the Loan Documents. If any Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default or pursuant to Section 2.10(b), such amount plus any accrued interest or realized profits with respect to such amounts (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to such Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived or such collateral is no longer required pursuant to 2.11(a), as applicable.

(l) Rollover of Existing Letters of Credit and Other Letters of Credit. Each of the Existing Letters of Credit outstanding on the Closing Date issued by a Revolving Lender shall remain outstanding as (i) in the case of Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars for the account of the U.S. Parent Borrower, Letters of Credit and (ii) in the case of Letters of Credit denominated in any other currency, Letters of Credit under this Agreement until otherwise returned or expired (in each case without any pending drawing). Any letter of credit that was issued by an Issuing Bank and is not a Letter of Credit will be deemed to be a Letter of Credit issued under this Agreement on the date that the applicable Borrower, the Issuing Bank with respect to such letter of credit and the Administrative Agent sign an instrument identifying such letter of credit as a Letter of Credit under this Agreement; provided that such instrument may only be executed if such letter of credit would be permitted to be issued under this Agreement as a Letter of Credit on such date.

SECTION 2.06. Funding of Borrowings.

(a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by (x) in the case of Loans denominated in Dollars, 2:00 p.m., New York City time and (y) in the case of Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies, 12:00 noon, Local Time, in the city of the Administrative Agent’s applicable payment office for such Alternative Currency, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders in an amount equal to such Lender’s Loan to be made on such date; provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.04. Except in respect of the provisions of this Agreement covering the reimbursement of Letters of Credit, the Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the applicable Borrower by promptly crediting the funds so received in the aforesaid account of the Administrative Agent, to an account designated by the Borrower Agent in the applicable Borrowing Request (i) in the case of Loans denominated in Dollars, in New York City, (ii) in the case of Loans denominated in Euro or Sterling, in London, and (iii) in the case of Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars, in Toronto, Canada, and in each case designated by the Borrower Agent in the applicable Borrowing Request, provided that (x) Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Applicable Participants have made payments pursuant to Section 2.05(e) to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Applicable Participants and the applicable Issuing Bank as their interests may appear and (y) proceeds of Tranche A Term Loans made pursuant to the Tranche A Term Commitments shall be made available to the Parent Entity on the Closing Date.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any 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 paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable 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 the applicable Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the applicable Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, (x) if such Borrowing is denominated in Dollars, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, and (y) if such Borrowing is denominated in an Alternative Currency, the rate reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent to be the cost to it of funding such amount, or (ii) in the case of the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to (i) in the case of Loans denominated in Dollars, ABR Loans and (ii) in the case of Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies, such Loan. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

SECTION 2.07. Interest Elections.

(a) Subject to Section 2.02(b), each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, (i) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request and (ii) in the case of BA Drawings, shall have an initial Contract Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower Agent may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type, to convert BA Drawings to Canadian Prime Rate Loans, to convert Canadian Prime Rate Loans into BA Drawings, or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section; provided that the Borrowers may not elect to convert any Borrowing denominated in an Alternative Currency to an ABR Borrowing and may not change the currency in which any Borrowing is denominated. The Borrowers may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Loans, which may not be converted or continued.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower Agent shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower Agent were requesting a Revolving Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election, subject to paragraph (f) below in the case of BA Drawings. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy or transmission by electronic communication in accordance with Section 9.01(b) to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form attached hereto as Exhibit B‑2 or such other form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower Agent. Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, this Section 2.07 shall not be construed to permit a Borrower to (i) elect an Interest Period for Eurocurrency Loans that does not comply with Section 2.02(d) or a Contract Period for a BA Drawing that does not comply with Section 2.02(d) or (ii) convert any Borrowing to a Borrowing of a Type not available under the Class of Commitments pursuant to which such Borrowing was made.

(c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i) the Facility and the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies, the relevant currency, and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing, a Eurocurrency Borrowing, a Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing or a BA Drawing;

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which Interest Period shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”; and

(v) if the resulting Borrowing is a BA Drawing, the Contract Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of “Contract Period.”

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower Agent shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. If any such Interest Election Request requests a BA Drawing but does not specify a Contract Period, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have selected a Contract Period of 30 days.

(d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each applicable Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e) If a Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurocurrency Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period, such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing (unless such Borrowing is denominated in an Alternative Currency, in which case such Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month for such Borrowing). Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower Agent, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Revolving Borrowing denominated in an Alternative Currency (other than Canadian Dollars) may be continued for an Interest Period of more than one month’s duration, (ii) no outstanding Borrowing denominated in Dollars may be converted to or continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing, (iii) no outstanding Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars may be converted to or continued as BA Drawings and (iv) unless repaid, (A) each Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in Dollars shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (B) each BA Drawing shall be converted to, or repaid with the proceeds of, a Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing at the end of the Contract Period applicable thereto, and (C) each Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in Euro or Sterling shall be converted at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto to a Eurocurrency Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month (or such shorter period as may be determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion).

(f) At or before 12:00 noon (Local Time) three Business Days before the last day of the Contract Period of any BA Drawing, the applicable Borrower shall give to the Administrative Agent its written Interest Election Request in respect of such BA Drawing which shall specify either that such Borrower intends to repay the maturing B/As on such date or to continue to issue B/As on such date to provide for the payment of the maturing B/As. If such Borrower fails to deliver such timely notice with respect to a BA Drawing prior to the end of the Contract Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Contract Period such Borrowing shall be converted to Canadian Prime Rate Loans. Upon the conversion to or continuation of any Borrowing or portion thereof as a BA Drawing, the Discount Proceeds that would otherwise be payable to the applicable Borrower by each Revolving Lender pursuant to Section 2.23(d) in respect of such new BA Drawing shall be applied against the principal amount of such Borrowing (in the case of a conversion) or the reimbursement obligation owed to such Lender in respect of such maturing B/As (in the case of a continuation) (collectively, the “maturing amounts”) and such Borrower shall pay to such Revolving Lender an amount equal to the excess of the maturing amounts over such Discount Proceeds.

SECTION 2.08. Termination and Reduction of Commitments.

(a) The Tranche A Term Commitment shall terminate on the Closing Date upon the borrowing of the Tranche A Term Loans. Unless previously terminated, all Revolving Commitments shall terminate on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. The Extended Revolving Commitments shall terminate on the respective maturity dates applicable thereto.

(b) The Borrower Agent may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Revolving Commitments of any Class; provided that (i) each reduction of the Revolving Commitments of any Class shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $10,000,000 (or, if less, the remaining amount of such Commitments), and (ii) the Borrower Agent shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.10, the aggregate Revolving Exposures (excluding, the portion of the Revolving Exposures attributable to outstanding Letters of Credit, if and to the extent that the applicable Borrowers have made arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank with respect to such Letters of Credit, and such Issuing Bank has released the Applicable Participants from their participation obligations with respect to such Letters of Credit) would exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments.

(c) The Borrower Agent shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three (3) Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower Agent pursuant to this Section 2.08 shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Revolving Commitments delivered by the Borrower Agent may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or instruments of Indebtedness or other transaction, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower Agent (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Revolving Commitments of any Class shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Revolving Commitments of any Class shall, except as provided in Section 2.20, be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments of such Class.

SECTION 2.09. Repayment of Loans and B/As; Evidence of Debt.

(a) Each Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan made to such Borrower on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date in the currency in which such Loan is denominated and to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan in Dollars on the earlier of the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and the first date after such Swingline Loan is made that is the 15th or last day of a calendar month and is at least three (3) Business Days after such Swingline Loan is made; provided that on each date that a Revolving Loan is made, the applicable Borrowers shall repay all Swingline Loans then outstanding.

(b) (%4) The Parent Entity promises to repay in Dollars the Tranche A Term Loans on the last Business Day of each fiscal quarter (commencing with the first full fiscal quarter following the Closing Date), an aggregate amount equal to (1) for the first (1st) full fiscal quarter following the Closing Date and for the next three (3) fiscal quarters thereafter, 0.625% of the original principal amount of the Tranche A Term Loans borrowed, (2) for the fifth (5th) fiscal quarter following the Closing Date and for the next seven (7) fiscal quarters thereafter, 1.25% of the original principal amount of the Tranche A Term Loans borrowed, (3) for the thirteenth (13th) fiscal quarter following the Closing Date and for the next six (6) fiscal quarters thereafter, 2.50% of the original principal amount of the Tranche A Term Loans borrowed, and (4) at the Term Loan A Maturity Date, 70.0% of the original principal amount of the Tranche A Term Loans borrowed; provided, however, that the Parent Entity shall repay the entire unpaid principal amount of the Tranche A Term Loans on the Term Loan A Maturity Date.

(%4) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrowers to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount and currency of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount and currency of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein absent manifest error; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of any Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by promissory notes. In such event, the applicable Borrowers shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender promissory notes payable to such Lender and its registered assigns and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory notes and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04 of this Agreement) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee named therein and its registered assigns.

SECTION 2.10. Prepayment of Loans and B/As.

(a) Optional Prepayments.

(%4) The Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing of any Class in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (a)(ii) of this Section except that the Borrowers shall not prepay any BA Drawings except on the last day of the Contract Period applicable thereto (subject to any mandatory prepayment requirements hereunder); provided, however, that no prepayment of any Extended Term Loans of any series shall be permitted pursuant to this Section 2.10(a) so long as any Term Loans of any Existing Term Loan Class from which such Extended Term Loans were converted remain outstanding unless such prepayment is accompanied by a pro rata (or greater proportionate) prepayment of Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Class.

(%4) The Borrower Agent shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender) by telephone (confirmed by telecopy or transmission by electronic communication in accordance with Section 9.01(b)) of any prepayment hereunder (x) in the case of prepayment of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three (3) Business Days before the date of prepayment (or, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in an Alternative Currency, not later than 11:00 a.m., Local Time, four (4) Business Days before the date of prepayment), (y) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of prepayment or (z) in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date, the Class or Classes of Loans to be repaid and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that, a notice of prepayment delivered by a Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or instruments of Indebtedness or other transaction, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower Agent (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Revolving Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.10(a) shall be applied to repayments thereof required pursuant to Section 2.09(b) in the order selected by the Borrower Agent. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the notice of prepayment. Prepayments pursuant to this Section 2.10(a) shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.12 and shall be subject to Section 2.15.

(b) Mandatory Prepayments.

(%4) In the event and on such occasion that the aggregate Revolving Exposures exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments, the applicable Borrowers shall prepay Revolving Borrowings of such Class or, if applicable, Swingline Loans of such Class (or, if no such Borrowings are outstanding, deposit cash collateral in an account with the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.05(j)) in an aggregate amount equal to such excess; provided that if any such excess shall result from a change in the applicable exchange rates relating to Alternative Currencies, then such prepayment and/or cash collateralization shall only be required to be made by the applicable Borrowers upon one Business Day’s notice from the Administrative Agent.

(%4) Other than during a Covenant Suspension Period, (A) if the Parent Entity or any Restricted Subsidiary receives any Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale or Casualty Event, the Borrower Agent shall apply an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds to prepay the Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.10(b)(v) on or prior to the date that is ten (10) Business Days after the date of the realization or receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds; provided that no such prepayment shall be required pursuant to this Section 2.10(b)(ii)(A) with respect to such Net Cash Proceeds that the Parent Entity or any Restricted Subsidiary shall reinvest in accordance with Section 2.10(b)(ii)(B); provided that to the extent required by the terms of any Permitted Secured Notes that are secured by Liens subject to the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Borrower Agent may, in lieu of prepaying Term Loans with such portion of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Asset Sale or Casualty Event, apply a portion of such Net Cash Proceeds (based on the respective principal amounts at such time of (A) such Permitted Secured Notes and (B) the Term Loans) to repurchase or redeem Permitted Secured Notes that are secured by Liens subject to the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement with the remaining amount of such Net Cash Proceeds to be applied to prepay Term Loans; and (B) with respect to any Net Cash Proceeds realized or received with respect to any Asset Sale or Casualty Event, at the option of the Borrower Agent, the Parent Entity or any Restricted Subsidiary may reinvest all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds in assets useful for the Parent Entity’s or a Restricted Subsidiary’s business within (x) twelve (12) months following receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds or (y) if the Parent Entity or a Restricted Subsidiary enters into a legally binding commitment to reinvest such Net Cash Proceeds within twelve (12) months following receipt thereof, within six (6) months following the last day of such twelve month period; provided that any such Net Cash Proceeds that are not so reinvested within the applicable time period set forth above shall be applied as set forth in Section 2.10(b)(ii)(A) within five (5) Business Days after the end of the applicable time period set forth above.

(%4) If, following the Effective Date, the Parent Entity or any Restricted Subsidiary incurs or issues (x) any Refinancing Indebtedness or (y) any Indebtedness not expressly permitted to be incurred or issued pursuant to Section 6.01 (without prejudice to the restrictions therein), the Borrowers shall apply an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds received by the Parent Entity or any Restricted Subsidiary therefrom to the prepayment of the Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.10(b)(v) on or prior to the date which is three (3) Business Days after the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds.

(%4) The Borrower Agent shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any mandatory prepayment of Term Loans required to be made pursuant to clauses (i) through (iii) of this Section 2.10(b) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment. Each such notice shall specify the date of such prepayment and provide a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment.

(%4) Each prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.10(b) shall be applied pro rata to each Class of Term Loans (on a pro rata basis to the Term Loans of the Lenders with such Class of Term Loans), except to the extent that any Class of Term Loans is entitled to receive a lesser amount, and shall be further applied to such Class of Term Loans in direct order of maturity to repayments thereof required pursuant to Section 2.09(b).

(%4) Any prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.10(b) shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.12 and shall be subject to Section 2.15.

(c) (%4) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.10(a) (which provisions shall not be applicable to this Section 2.10(c)), the Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay Term Loans from Lenders electing to participate in such prepayments at a discount to the par value of such Term Loans and on a non-pro rata basis (each, a “Discounted Voluntary Prepayment”) pursuant to the procedures described in this Section 2.10(c); provided that no Discounted Voluntary Prepayment shall be made unless (A) immediately after giving effect to such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment, (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) the Parent Entity and its Restricted Subsidiaries are in compliance on a Pro Forma Basis with the covenant contained in Section 6.09 as of the last day of the most recent fiscal quarter of the Parent Entity for which financial statements have been delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or (b) and (iii) no proceeds of Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans shall be utilized to make any Discounted Voluntary Prepayment, (B) any Discounted Voluntary Prepayment shall be offered to all Lenders with Term Loans on a pro rata basis and (C) the applicable Borrower on the date such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment is made shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer of such Borrower stating (1) that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from the Discounted Voluntary Prepayment and (2) that each of the conditions to such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment contained in this Section 2.10(c) has been satisfied or waived.

(%4) To the extent a Borrower seeks to make a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment, such Borrower will provide written notice to the Administrative Agent substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto (each, a “Discounted Prepayment Option Notice”) that such Borrower desires to prepay Term Loans in an aggregate principal amount specified therein by such Borrower (each, a “Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount”), in each case at a discount to the par value of such Term Loans as specified below. The Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount of Term Loans shall not be less than $50,000,000. The Discounted Prepayment Option Notice shall further specify with respect to the proposed Discounted Voluntary Prepayment: (A) the Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount for Term Loans and the Class of Term Loans to which such offer relates, (B) a discount range (which may be a single percentage) selected by the applicable Borrower with respect to such proposed Discounted Voluntary Prepayment equal to a percentage of par of the principal amount of such Term Loans (the “Discount Range”) and (C) the date by which Lenders are required to indicate their election to participate in such proposed Discounted Voluntary Prepayment which shall be at least five Business Days following the date of the Discounted Prepayment Option Notice (the “Acceptance Date”).

(%4) Upon receipt of a Discounted Prepayment Option Notice in accordance with Section 2.10(c)(ii), the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each applicable Lender thereof. On or prior to the Acceptance Date, each Lender with Term Loans may specify by written notice substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto (each, a “Lender Participation Notice”) to the Administrative Agent (A) a maximum discount to par (the “Acceptable Discount”) within the Discount Range (for example, a Lender specifying a discount to par of 20% would accept a prepayment price of 80% of the par value of the Term Loans to be prepaid) and (B) a maximum principal amount (subject to rounding requirements specified by the Administrative Agent) of Term Loans of each Class held by such Lender with respect to which such Lender is willing to permit a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment at the Acceptable Discount (“Offered Loans”). Based on the Acceptable Discounts and principal amounts of Term Loans specified by the Lenders in Lender Participation Notices, the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the applicable Borrower, shall calculate the applicable discount for Term Loans (the “Applicable Discount”), which Applicable Discount shall be (A) the percentage specified by such Borrower if such Borrower has selected a single percentage pursuant to Section 2.10(c)(ii) for the Discounted Voluntary Prepayment or (B) otherwise, the highest Acceptable Discount at which such Borrower can pay the Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount in full (determined by adding the principal amounts of Offered Loans commencing with the Offered Loans with the highest Acceptable Discount); provided, however, that in the event that such Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount cannot be repaid in full at any Acceptable Discount, the Applicable Discount shall be the lowest Acceptable Discount specified by the Lenders that is within the Discount Range. The Applicable Discount shall be applicable for all Lenders who have offered to participate in the Discounted Voluntary Prepayment and have Qualifying Loans (as defined below). Any Lender with outstanding Term Loans under the applicable Class whose Lender Participation Notice is not received by the Administrative Agent by the Acceptance Date shall be deemed to have declined to accept a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment of any of its Term Loans at any discount to their par value within the Applicable Discount.

(%4) The applicable Borrower shall make a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment by prepaying those Term Loans (or the respective portions thereof) offered by the Lenders (“Qualifying Lenders”) that specify an Acceptable Discount that is equal to or greater than the Applicable Discount (“Qualifying Loans”) at the Applicable Discount; provided that if the aggregate proceeds required to prepay all Qualifying Loans (disregarding any interest payable at such time) would exceed the amount of aggregate proceeds required to prepay the Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount, such amounts in each case calculated by applying the Applicable Discount, the applicable Borrower shall prepay such Qualifying Loans ratably among the Qualifying Lenders based on their respective principal amounts of such Qualifying Loans (subject to rounding requirements specified by the Administrative Agent). If the aggregate proceeds required to prepay all Qualifying Loans (disregarding any interest payable at such time) would be less than the amount of aggregate proceeds required to prepay the Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount, such amounts in each case calculated by applying the Applicable Discount, the applicable Borrower shall prepay all Qualifying Loans.

(%4) Each Discounted Voluntary Prepayment shall be made within five Business Days of the Acceptance Date, without premium or penalty (and without any amounts due under Section 2.15), upon irrevocable notice substantially in the form of Exhibit G hereto (each a “Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Notice”), delivered to the Administrative Agent no later than 1:00 p.m. Local Time, two Business Days prior to the date of such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment, which notice shall specify the date and amount of the Discounted Voluntary Prepayment and the Applicable Discount determined by the Administrative Agent. Upon receipt of any Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. If any Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable to the applicable Lenders, subject to the Applicable Discount on the applicable Term Loans, on the date specified therein together with accrued interest (on the par principal amount) to, but not including, such date on the amount prepaid.

(%4) To the extent not expressly provided for herein, each Discounted Voluntary Prepayment shall be consummated pursuant to reasonable procedures (including as to timing, rounding, minimum amounts, Type and Interest Periods and calculation of Applicable Discount in accordance with Section 2.10(c)(iii) above) reasonably established by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Agent.

(%4) Prior to the delivery of a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Notice, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, the applicable Borrower may withdraw its offer to make a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment pursuant to any Discounted Prepayment Option Notice.

(d) To the extent the Term Loans are prepaid pursuant to Section 2.10(c), scheduled amortization amounts for the Term Loans of such Class under Section 2.09 shall be reduced on such basis as shall be directed by the Borrower Agent.

SECTION 2.11. Fees.

(a) The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent in Dollars for the account of each Revolving Lender a facility fee, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the average daily amount of the Revolving Commitment of such Lender (or, if the Revolving Commitment of such Lender has terminated, on the average daily amount of the Revolving Exposure of such Lender) during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the date on which such Revolving Commitment terminates and such Lender’s Revolving Exposure has been reduced to zero. Accrued facility fees shall be payable in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate and the Revolving Exposure is reduced to zero, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date. All facility fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(b) The Borrowers agree to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent in Dollars for the account of each Revolving Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the same Applicable Rate used to determine the interest rate applicable to Eurocurrency Revolving Loans on the average daily amount of such Revolving Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements with respect to Letters of Credit following the date of the applicable LC Disbursement) during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment terminates and the date on which such Revolving Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure and (ii) to each Issuing Bank a fronting fee in Dollars, which shall accrue at the rate of 0.125% per annum on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Revolving Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure with respect to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, as well as such Issuing Bank’s standard fees and commissions with respect to the issuance, amendment, cancellation, negotiation, transfer, presentment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Unless otherwise specified above, participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on the third (3rd) Business Day following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which such Revolving Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to an Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within ten (10) days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). In addition to the foregoing fees and to the extent required to be paid under Section 9.03(a), the Borrower Agent shall pay or reimburse the Issuing Bank for such normal and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by the Issuing Bank in issuing, negotiating, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit.

(c) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in Dollars and immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the relevant Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of facility fees and participation fees, to the Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

SECTION 2.12. Interest.

(a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing (including each Swingline Loan) shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Rate.

(b) The Loans comprising each Eurocurrency Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.

(c) The Loans comprising each Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing shall bear interest at the Canadian Prime Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by a Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus (w) if such amount is denominated in Dollars, the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section, (x) if such amount is denominated in Canadian Dollars, the rate applicable to Canadian Prime Rate Loans as provided in paragraph (c) of this Section, or (y) in the case of non-Dollar denominated amounts Eurocurrency Loans denominated in such currency with a one month Interest Period.

(e) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in the currency in which such Loan is denominated in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, in the case of Revolving Loans of any Class, upon termination of the Revolving Commitments of such Class; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan or Canadian Prime Rate Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period or a Swingline Loan), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(f) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that the Acceptance Fee, and interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate and interest on Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars or Sterling shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or, except in the case of the Acceptance Fee, 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Canadian Prime Rate, Discount Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate, LIBO Rate or Euro LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.13. Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in any currency:

(%3) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate, LIBO Rate for such Interest Period or currency; or

(%3) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate, LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower Agent and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy or transmission by electronic communication in accordance with Section 9.01(b) as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower Agent and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing denominated in such currency to, or continuation of any Borrowing denominated in such currency as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be ineffective, and any Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in such currency that is requested to be continued (A) if such currency is the Dollar, shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto and (B) if such currency is an Alternative Currency, shall be repaid on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in such currency (A) if such currency is the Dollar, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing and (B) if such currency is an Alternative Currency, such Borrowing Request shall be ineffective.

SECTION 2.14. Increased Costs.

(a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or any Issuing Bank; or

(ii) impose on any Lender or any Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition or Tax affecting this Agreement, Loans, Bankers’ Acceptances or BA Equivalent Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein (other than any Excluded Taxes or any Indemnified Taxes, which are governed solely by Section 2.16);

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any Loan to increase the cost to such Lender or such Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such Issuing Bank hereunder, whether of principal, interest or otherwise, in each case by an amount deemed by such Lender or such Issuing Bank to be material in the context of its making of, and participation in, extensions of credit under this Agreement, then, upon the request of such Lender or such Issuing Bank, the applicable Borrowers will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) If any Lender or any Issuing Bank determines in good faith that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time, upon the request of such Lender or such Issuing Bank, the applicable Borrowers will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank setting forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower Agent and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The applicable Borrowers shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that no Borrower shall be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower Agent of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’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 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender or Issuing Bank shall be entitled to seek compensation under this Section 2.14 based on the occurrence of a Change in Law arising solely from the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or any requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith, unless such Lender or Issuing Bank is generally seeking compensation from other borrowers with respect to its similarly affected commitments, loans and/or participations under agreements with such borrowers having provisions similar to this Section 2.14.

SECTION 2.15. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default or as a result of any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.10), (b) the conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurocurrency Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.10 and is revoked in accordance therewith) or (d) the assignment of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by a Borrower pursuant to Section 2.18, then, in any such event, such Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense (excluding loss of anticipated profit) attributable to such event. Such loss, cost or expense to any Lender may be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan (and excluding any Applicable Rate), for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits in the relevant currency of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurocurrency market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth in reasonable detail any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall be delivered to the Borrower Agent and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The applicable Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

SECTION 2.16. Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes unless otherwise required by applicable law. If any Loan Party or other applicable withholding agent shall be required by applicable Law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from any such payments (as determined in the good faith discretion of the applicable withholding agent), then (i) the applicable withholding agent shall make such deductions or withholdings and timely pay any such Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law, and (ii) if the Tax in question is an Indemnified Tax, the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after all required deductions or withholdings for Indemnified Taxes (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.16) have been made, the Lender (or, in the case of a payment to the Administrative Agent for its own account, the Administrative Agent) receives on the due date a net sum equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made.

(b) In addition, without duplication of Section 2.16(a) the Borrowers shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) The Loan Parties shall, jointly and severally, indemnify each Lender and the Administrative Agent (each a “Tax Indemnitee”), within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes, payable by such Tax Indemnitee (including Indemnified Taxes imposed on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.16) other than any penalties arising as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Lender or Agent (as determined by a final nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction), and any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses related thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the applicable Governmental Authority; provided, however, that if the Lender or Administrative Agent does not notify the Borrower Agent of any indemnification claim under this Section 2.16 within 180 days after such Lender or Administrative Agent has received notice of the specific assessment or deficiency giving rise to such indemnification claim, the Loan Parties shall not be required to indemnify such Lender or Administrative Agent for any incremental interest or penalties resulting from such Lender’s or Administrative Agent’s failure to notify the Loan Parties within the 180 day period. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability prepared in good faith and delivered by the Tax Indemnitee or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of another Tax Indemnitee, accompanied by reasonable supporting documentation, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, and in any event within 30 days of any such payment, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e) Each Lender shall, at such times as are reasonably requested by the Borrower Agent or the Administrative Agent, provide the Borrower Agent and the Administrative Agent with any documentation prescribed by Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower Agent or the Administrative Agent certifying as to any entitlement of such Lender to an exemption from, or reduction in, any withholding Tax with respect to any payments to be made to such Lender under any Loan Document. In addition, each Lender, if reasonably requested by any Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable such Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Each such Lender shall, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders any of the foregoing documentation (including any specific documentation required below in this Section 2.16(e)) obsolete, expired or inaccurate in any material respect, deliver promptly to the Borrower Agent and the Administrative Agent updated or other appropriate documentation (including any new documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower Agent or the Administrative Agent) or promptly notify the Borrower Agent and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal ineligibility to do so.

Without limiting the foregoing:

(1) Each Lender that is not a Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower Agent (as an agent for all of the Borrowers) and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement two properly completed and duly signed original copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding.

(2) Each Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower Agent (as an agent for the U.S. Parent Borrower and all of the Domestic Subsidiary Borrowers) and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of any Borrower or the Administrative Agent) whichever of the following is applicable:

(A) two properly completed and duly signed original copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor forms) claiming eligibility for the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, and such other documentation as required under the Code,

(B) two properly completed and duly signed original copies of IRS Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms),

(C) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) two properly completed and duly signed certificates substantially in the form of Exhibit D-1, D-2, D-3 and D-4, as applicable, (any such certificate, a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) two properly completed and duly signed original copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor forms),

(D) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Foreign Lender is a partnership or a participating Lender), two properly completed and duly signed original copies of IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms) of the Foreign Lender, accompanied by a Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, Form W-9, Form W-8IMY or any other required information (or any successor forms) from each beneficial owner that would be required under this Section 2.16(e) if such beneficial owner were a Lender, as applicable (provided that, if the Foreign Lender is a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes (and not a participating Lender) and one or more beneficial owners are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, the U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate may be provided by such Foreign Lender on behalf of such beneficial owner(s)), or

(E) two properly completed and duly signed original copies of any other form prescribed by applicable U.S. federal income tax laws as a basis for claiming a complete exemption from, or a reduction in, U.S. federal withholding tax on any payments to such Lender under the Loan Documents.

(3) Each Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower Agent (as agent for all of the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers) and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of any Borrower or the Administrative Agent) two properly completed and duly signed original copies of an applicable IRS Form W-8 (or any successor form) certifying such Foreign Lender’s non-U.S. status.

(4) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of those Sections (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower Agent (as agent for all of the Borrowers) and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by applicable Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower Agent or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower Agent or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for such Borrower Agent and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code, to determine whether such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under such Sections and, if necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (4), Section 1471 through 1474 of the Code shall include any amendments made to such sections after the date of this Agreement and any intergovernmental agreement (and any related Laws, regulations or official administrative practices) implementing the foregoing.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this clause (e), a Lender shall not be required to deliver any documentation that such Lender is not legally eligible to deliver. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to deliver to the Loan Parties and to any successor Administrative Agent any documentation provided by such Lender to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.16(e).

(f) If the Administrative Agent or a Lender receives a refund of any Indemnified Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Loan Party or with respect to which a Loan Party has paid additional amounts or indemnification payments pursuant to this Section 2.16, it shall promptly pay over such refund to the Borrower Agent (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the applicable Loan Parties under this Section 2.16 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender (including any Taxes) and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that each Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to any Borrower or any other Person.

(g) For the avoidance of doubt, the term “Lender,” for purposes of this Section 2.16, shall include any Swingline Lender and any Issuing Bank.

(h) The Administrative Agent and each Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrowers in attempting to recover any Indemnified Taxes that the Borrowers reasonably assert were improperly imposed if (i) in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, such cooperation shall not subject the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, to any unreimbursed third party cost or expense or otherwise be materially disadvantageous to the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, and (ii) based on advice of the applicable Borrower’s (or applicable Loan Party’s) independent accountants or external legal counsel, there is a reasonable basis for such Loan Party to contest with the applicable Governmental Authority the imposition of such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided, however, that any such attempts shall be at the sole cost of the Borrowers and the Borrowers shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender for any costs it incurs in connection with complying with this Section 2.16(h). The Borrowers shall have the right to dispute or challenge in a reasonable manner and only to the extent necessary to protect its rights under applicable law, and at its sole cost and expense, the imposition of Indemnified Taxes with the relevant Governmental Authority. In no event will this Section 2.16(h) relieve any Borrower of its obligation to pay additional amounts or indemnification payments to the Administrative Agent or any Lender under this Section 2.16. Any refund obtained shall be repaid to the applicable Borrower to the extent provided in Section 2.16(f).

(i) (%3) A UK Tax Deduction on a payment made by a UK Loan Party under a Loan Document shall be regarded as an Excluded Tax if:

(1) on the date on which the relevant payment falls due, the payment could have been made to the relevant Lender without any UK Tax Deduction if such Lender had been a UK Qualifying Lender but on that date that Lender is not or has ceased to be a UK Qualifying Lender other than as a result of any change after the date it became a Lender under this Agreement in (or in the interpretation, administration or application of) any Law or treaty or any published practice or published concession of any relevant taxing authority;

(2) the relevant Lender is a UK Treaty Lender and the UK Loan Party making the payment is able to demonstrate that the payment could have been made to the Lender without any UK Tax Deduction had that Lender duly complied with its obligations under Section 2.16(i)(ii) and Section 2.16(i)(iii); or

(3) the relevant Lender is a UK Qualifying Lender solely by virtue of paragraph (b) of the definition of UK Qualifying Lender; and:

(A) an officer of HMRC has given (and not revoked) a direction (a "Direction") under section 931 of the ITA which relates to the payment and that Lender has received from the UK Loan Party making the payment or the Borrower Agent a certified copy of that Direction; and

(B) the payment could have been made to the Lender without any UK Tax Deduction if that Direction had not been made; or

(4) the relevant Lender is a UK Qualifying Lender solely by virtue of paragraph (b) of the definition of UK Qualifying Lender and:

(A) the relevant Lender has not given a UK Tax Confirmation to the UK Loan Party making the payment; and

(B) the payment could have been made to the Lender without any UK Tax Deduction if the Lender had given a UK Tax Confirmation to the UK Loan Party, on the basis that the UK Tax Confirmation would have enabled the UK Loan Party to have formed a reasonable belief that the payment was an "excepted payment" for the purpose of section 930 of the ITA.

(%4) Subject to paragraph (iii) below, a UK Treaty Lender and each UK Loan Party which makes a payment to which that UK Treaty Lender is entitled shall co-operate in completing any procedural formalities necessary for that UK Loan Party to obtain authorization to make that payment without any UK Tax Deduction.

(%4) A UK Treaty Lender which becomes a party hereto (x) on the day on which this Agreement is entered into or (y) on a day after the date of this Agreement, that holds a passport under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme, and which wishes that scheme to apply to this Agreement, shall confirm its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence, in the case of a UK Treaty Lender falling within (x) above, in this Agreement or in writing to the UK Borrower and Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days of the date of this Agreement or, in the case of a UK Treaty Lender falling within (y) above, in writing to the UK Borrower and Administrative Agent on the date on which it becomes a UK Treaty Lender. Where the UK Treaty Lender has supplied its HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in this Agreement or in writing to the UK Borrower and Administrative Agent: (a) the relevant UK Borrower shall take all reasonable steps to promptly file a completed HMRC Form DTTP2 in respect of that UK Treaty Lender; and (b) the relevant UK Treaty Lender shall be under no further obligation pursuant to paragraph (ii) above and this paragraph (iii) unless and until (i) the relevant UK Borrower notifies the relevant UK Treaty Lender in writing that (A) the UK Borrower has not submitted a HMRC Form DTTP2 in respect of that UK Treaty Lender; or (B) the UK Borrower’s HMRC Form DTTP2 has been rejected by HMRC; or (C) HMRC has not given the relevant UK Borrower authority to make payment to that UK Treaty Lender without a UK Tax Deduction within 60 days of the date of the UK Borrower submitting the HMRC Form DTTP2; or (ii) the relevant UK Borrower had received authority from HMRC to make payments to such Lender without a UK Tax Deduction as a result of submitting a Form DTTP2, but a Party becomes aware that as a result of (A) a withdrawal or expiry of that authority; or (B) a withdrawal or cessation of the HMRC DTTP Passport scheme due to any change in Law or change in practice of HMRC, it is no longer possible for such Loan Party to make payments to the Lender without a UK Tax Deduction by virtue of that authority, in which case that Party shall notify the other relevant Party, and (in each such case) that UK Treaty Lender and UK Borrower shall co-operate in completing any additional procedural formalities necessary for that UK Borrower to obtain authorization to make that payment without a UK Tax Deduction. If a UK Treaty Lender has not confirmed its HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme reference number and jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with this paragraph (iii), no UK Loan Party shall make a HMRC Borrower DTTP Filing or file any other form relating to the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme in respect of that UK Treaty Lender or its participation in any Loan unless the UK Treaty Lender otherwise agrees.

(%4) Each Lender which becomes a party to this Agreement after the date of this Agreement shall confirm in the documentation it executes on becoming a party hereto, and for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and without any liability to any Loan Party, which of the following categories it falls in for the purposes of that Loan:

(1) not a UK Qualifying Lender;

(2) a UK Qualifying Lender (other than a UK Treaty Lender); or

(3) a UK Treaty Lender.

If a Lender which becomes a party to this Agreement after the date of this Agreement in respect of an advance to a UK Borrower fails to indicate its status pursuant to the previous sentence, then such Lender shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement (including by each UK Loan Party) as if it is not a UK Qualifying Lender until such time as it notifies the Administrative Agent which category applies (and the Administrative Agent, upon receipt of such notification, shall promptly inform the Borrower Agent). For the avoidance of doubt, any document pursuant to which a Lender becomes party to this Agreement shall not be invalidated by any failure of a Lender to comply with this paragraph (iv).

(%4) A Lender which has given a UK Tax Confirmation shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent if there is any change in the position from that set out in the UK Tax Confirmation, following which the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower Agent.

(%4) A UK Loan Party shall promptly upon becoming aware that it has to make a UK Tax Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of a UK Tax Deduction) promptly notify the Administrative Agent accordingly. Similarly, a Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent on becoming so aware in respect of a payment payable to that Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower Agent.

(k) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement except as otherwise provided in Section 2.16(l), no Irish Borrower shall be required to make an increased payment to any Lender pursuant to this Section 2.16 for Taxes in respect of any Tax imposed by Ireland from a payment of interest if on the date on which the payment falls due:

(i) the payment could have been made to the relevant Lender without a deduction for Tax imposed by Ireland if such Lender was an Irish Qualifying Lender, but on that date such Lender is not or has ceased to be an Irish Qualifying Lender other than as a result of any change after the date it became a Lender under this Agreement in (or in the interpretation, administration, or application of) any law or tax treaty, or any practice or concession of any relevant taxing authority; or

(ii) the relevant Lender is an Irish Treaty Lender and the payment could have been made to the Lender without a deduction for Tax had that Lender complied with its obligations under paragraph (k) below.

(l) A Lender which is an Irish Treaty Lender and any Irish Borrower which makes a payment to which that Lender is entitled shall co-operate promptly in completing any procedural formalities necessary for such Borrower to obtain authorization to make that payment without a Tax deduction.

(m) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Irish Borrower shall remain liable for any Taxes incurred by any Irish Qualifying Lender resulting from such Irish Borrower’s failure to provide any forms or exemption certificate or other documentation it is legally required to provide to entitle any Irish Qualifying Lender to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of Ireland, or any Irish Treaty.

(n) Each Lender which becomes a party to this Agreement and makes a Loan to any Loan Party after the date of this Agreement shall confirm in the documentation it executes on becoming a party hereto, and for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and any Loan Party, which of the following categories it falls in for the purposes of that Loan:

(i) not an Irish Qualifying Lender;

(ii) an Irish Qualifying Lender (other than an Irish Treaty Lender); or

(iii) an Irish Treaty Lender.

(o) If a Lender which becomes a party to this Agreement after the date of this Agreement fails to indicate its status pursuant to Section 2.16(m), then such Lender shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement (including by each Loan Party) as if it is not an Irish Qualifying Lender until such time as it notifies the Administrative Agent which category applies (and the Administrative Agent, upon receipt of such notification, shall inform the Irish Borrower). For the avoidance of doubt, any document pursuant to which a Lender becomes party to this Agreement shall not be invalidated by any failure of a Lender to comply with Section 2.16(m). Any Lender which ceases to be an Irish Qualifying Lender shall on ceasing to be an Irish Qualifying Lender, promptly notify each Loan Party that it has ceased to be an Irish Qualifying Lender.

(p) On or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement, any Administrative Agent that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower Agent two duly completed copies of IRS Form W-9, or any subsequent versions or successors to such form, certifying that such Administrative Agent is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding. Any Administrative Agent, and any successor or supplemental Administrative Agent, that is not a U.S. Person, shall deliver to the Borrower Agent (A) two duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY certifying that, with respect to payments received by it (on behalf of the Lenders) from the U.S. Parent Borrower or any Domestic Subsidiary Borrower, it is a “U.S. branch”, the payments are not effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States, and it is using such form as evidence of its agreement with such Borrower to be treated as a U.S. Person with respect to such payments and (B) with respect to payments received for its own account, two duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.16(o), no Administrative Agent shall be required to provide any documentation it is legally ineligible to provide as a result of a Change in Law after the date hereof.

SECTION 2.16A VAT.

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

(b) If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Finance Party (the “Supplier”) to any Finance Party (for purposes of this Section 2.16A, the “Recipient”) under a Loan Document, and any party other than the Recipient (the “Subject Party”) is required by the terms of any Loan Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for such supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse the Recipient in respect of that consideration), such party shall also pay to the Supplier (in addition to and at the same time as paying such amount) an amount equal to the amount of such VAT. The Recipient will promptly pay to the Subject Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment obtained by the Recipient from the relevant tax authority which the Recipient reasonably determines is in respect of such VAT.

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

SECTION 2.17. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs.

(a) Each Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16, or otherwise) prior to 2:00 p.m., Local Time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices referred to in Section 9.01 (or as otherwise directed by the Administrative Agent), except payments to be made directly to an Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The 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. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and (x), in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension and (y) in the case of any payment of fees, such fees shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments under each Loan Document of principal or interest in respect of any Loan (or of any breakage indemnity in respect of any Loan) shall be made in the currency of such Loan, and, except as otherwise expressly set forth in any Loan Document, all other payments under each Loan Document shall be made in Dollars.

(b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, required cash collateral, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements and cash collateral then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements and cash collateral then due to such parties.

(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by a Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans to any assignee or participant in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the relevant Issuing Bank hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the applicable Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the relevant Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank 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 greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(c), 2.05(d) or (e), 2.06(b), 2.17(d) or 9.03(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

SECTION 2.18. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.17, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. Any Lender claiming reimbursement of such costs and expenses shall deliver to the Borrower Agent a certificate setting forth such costs and expenses in reasonable detail which shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, or any Lender is unable to fund its portion of any Loan as a result of any applicable law or regulation prohibiting, or any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority enjoining, prohibiting or restraining, any Lender from making any Loan requested by any Borrower or any Issuing Bank or any Lender from issuing, renewing, extending or increasing the face amount of or participating in the Letter of Credit requested to be issued, renewed, extended or increased by any Borrower or if any Lender (a “Non-Consenting Lender”) fails to grant a consent (x) in connection with any proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination of the provisions of this Agreement as contemplated by Section 9.02 for which the consent of each Lender or each affected Lender is required but the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained or (y) to extend Loans or Commitments pursuant to Section 2.20, then the applicable Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under the Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower Agent shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, to the extent required by Section 9.04, and (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest) or the applicable Borrower (in the case of all fees and other amounts).

SECTION 2.19. Expansion Option.

(a) The Borrowers may from time to time after the Closing Date elect to increase the Revolving Commitments or any Extended Revolving Commitments or enter into one or more new Classes of Revolving Commitments (“Increased Commitments”) or enter into one or more tranches of term loans (each, an “Incremental Term Loan”), in each case in an aggregate principal amount of not less than $25,000,000 (or such lesser amount as may be reasonably agreed by the Administrative Agent) so long as, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate amount of all such Increased Commitments and all such Incremental Term Loans (other than Refinancing Term Loans) established following the Closing Date does not exceed the sum of (x) $720,000,000 less the aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness incurred under Section 6.01(r) and 6.01(w) in reliance on the “Unrestricted Incremental Amount”, plus (y) the amount of any voluntary prepayments of the Tranche A Term Loans and reductions in the amount of the Revolving Commitments, in each case, to the extent not funded with long term Indebtedness (this clause (y) together with clause (x), the “Unrestricted Incremental Amount”), plus (z) an amount so long as, in the case of this clause (z), at the time of incurrence thereof, on a Pro Forma Basis (assuming all Increased Commitments were fully drawn and excluding the cash proceeds of such Incremental Term Loans and Increased Commitments from cash and Cash Equivalents), but excluding from such calculation any amounts incurred substantially concurrently in reliance on the Unrestricted Incremental Amount, the Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio would be less than or equal to 1.50 to 1.0 as of the last day of the most recent fiscal quarter of the Parent Entity for which financial statements have been delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or (b) (this clause (z), the “Ratio Incremental Amount”) ((the aggregate amount under clauses (x), (y) and (z), the “Incremental Basket Amount”). The Borrowers may arrange for any such increase or tranche to be provided by one or more Lenders (each Lender so agreeing to an increase in its Revolving Commitment or Extended Revolving Commitment, or to enter into one or more new Classes of Revolving Commitments, or to participate in such Incremental Term Loan, an “Increasing Lender”), or by one or more new banks, financial institutions or other entities (each such new bank, financial institution or other entity, an “Augmenting Lender”), to increase their existing Revolving Commitment or Extended Revolving Commitment, or to enter into one or more new Classes of Revolving Commitments, or to participate in such Incremental Term Loan, or extend Revolving Commitments or Extended Revolving Commitments, as the case may be; provided that each Augmenting Lender (and, in the case of an Increased Commitment, each Increasing Lender) shall be subject to the approval of the Borrower Agent and the Administrative Agent and, in the case of an Increased Commitment, each Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender (such consents not to be unreasonably withheld). Without the consent of any Lenders other than the relevant Increasing Lenders or Augmenting Lenders, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended pursuant to an Additional Credit Extension Amendment as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.19. Increases and new Revolving Commitments and Incremental Term Loans created pursuant to this Section 2.19 shall become effective on the date agreed by Parent, the applicable Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the relevant Increasing Lenders or Augmenting Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no increase in the Revolving Commitments or Extended Revolving Commitments or Incremental Term Loan shall be permitted under this paragraph unless on the proposed date of the effectiveness of such increase in the Revolving Commitments or Extended Revolving Commitments or borrowing of such Incremental Term Loan, the conditions set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) of Section 4.03 shall be satisfied and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a Financial Officer of the Borrower Agent; provided that if the proceeds of any Incremental Term Loans are being used to finance an acquisition or other permitted Investment, (x) the reference in Section 4.03(a) to the accuracy of the representations and warranties shall refer to the accuracy of the representations and warranties contained in Sections 3.01 with respect to the Loan Parties (limited to the first sentence thereof), 3.02, 3.03(b)(ii), 3.08, 3.10, 3.13, 3.14 and 3.15 and (y) Section 4.03(b) shall apply solely to Specified Events of Default. On the effective date of any increase in the Revolving Commitments or Extended Revolving Commitments or any Incremental Term Loans being made, (i) each relevant Increasing Lender and Augmenting Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent such amounts in immediately available funds as the Administrative Agent shall determine, for the benefit of the other Lenders, as being required in order to cause, after giving effect to such increase and the use of such amounts to make payments to such other Lenders, each Lender’s portion of the outstanding Loans of all the Lenders to equal its Applicable Percentage of such outstanding Loans, and (ii) except in the case of any Incremental Term Loans, if, on the date of such increase, there are any Revolving Loans outstanding, such Revolving Loans shall on or prior to the effectiveness of such Increased Commitments be prepaid to the extent necessary from the proceeds of additional Revolving Loans made hereunder by the Increasing Lenders and Augmenting Lenders, so that, after giving effect to such prepayments and any borrowings on such date of all or any portion of such Increased Commitments, the principal balance of all outstanding Revolving Loans owing to each Lender with a Revolving Commitment is equal to such Lender’s pro rata share (after giving effect to any nonratable Increased Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.19) of all then outstanding Revolving Loans. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the borrowing notice, minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence. The deemed payments made pursuant to clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be accompanied by payment of all accrued interest on the amount prepaid and, in respect of each Eurocurrency Loan, shall be subject to indemnification by the Borrowers pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.15 if the deemed payment occurs other than on the last day of the related Interest Periods. The terms of any Incremental Term Loans shall be as set forth in the amendment to this Agreement providing for such Incremental Term Loans; provided that (i) the final maturity date of any Incremental Term Loans shall be no earlier than the Term Loan A Maturity Date, (ii) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Incremental Term Loans shall not be shorter than the then remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Tranche A Term Loans, (iii) Incremental Term Loans shall not participate on a greater than pro rata basis with the Tranche A Term Loans in any optional or mandatory prepayment hereunder, (iv) the provisions with respect to payment of interest, prepayments, original issue discount and upfront fees shall be as set forth in the amendment providing for such Incremental Term Loans; and (v) all other terms applicable to such Incremental Term Loans (other than provisions specified in clauses (i) through (iv) above and other than pricing, interest rate margins, rate floors, currency (which may be an Alternative Currency), discounts, premiums, fees, and optional prepayment terms and provisions, all of which shall be determined by the Borrower Agent and the Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans) shall be, in the aggregate not materially more restrictive than the terms of this Agreement as determined in good faith by the Borrower Agent, except for covenants or other provisions applicable only to periods after the then Term Loan A Maturity Date at the time such Indebtedness is incurred or added to this Agreement for the benefit of the Lenders hereunder (it being understood that no consent shall be required by Lenders for terms or conditions that are more restrictive than this Agreement if such terms or conditions are added to this Agreement); provided further that the requirements set forth in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) shall not apply to any Indebtedness consisting of a customary bridge facility so long as such bridge facility automatically converts into long-term Indebtedness that satisfies such clauses (i) and (ii). The terms of any Increased Commitments shall be as set forth in the amendment to this Agreement providing for such Increased Commitments; provided that (i) the maturity date of any Increased Commitments shall be no earlier than the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and such Increased Commitments shall require no scheduled amortization or mandatory commitment reduction prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, (ii) the provisions with respect to payment of interest and fees shall be as set forth in the amendment providing for such Increased Commitments; and (iii) all other terms applicable to such Increased Commitments (other than provisions specified in clauses (i) and (ii) above and other than pricing, interest rate margins, rate floors, currency (which may be an Alternative Currency) and fees) shall be, in the aggregate, not materially more restrictive than the terms of this Agreement as determined in good faith by the Borrower Agent, except for covenants or other provisions applicable only to periods after the then Revolving Credit Maturity Date at the time such Indebtedness is incurred or added to this Agreement for the benefit of the Lenders hereunder (it being understood that no consent shall be required by Lenders for terms or conditions that are more restrictive than this Agreement if such terms or conditions are added to this Agreement).

(b) This Section 2.19 shall override any provisions in Section 9.02 to the contrary.

(c) If, on the effective date of any Increased Commitments, there are any Revolving Loans of the applicable Class outstanding, such Revolving Loans shall on or prior to the effectiveness of such Increased Commitments be prepaid to the extent necessary from the proceeds of additional Revolving Loans made hereunder by the relevant Increasing Lenders or Augmenting Lenders, so that, after giving effect to such prepayments and any borrowings on such date of all or any portion of such Increased Commitments, the principal balance of all outstanding Revolving Loans owing to each Lender with a Revolving Commitment of such Class is equal to such Lender’s pro rata share of all then outstanding Revolving Loans. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the borrowing notice, minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence and the deemed payments made pursuant the immediately preceding sentence shall be accompanied by payment of all accrued interest on the amount prepaid and, in respect of each Eurocurrency Loan, shall be subject to indemnification by the Borrowers, jointly and severally, pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.15 if the deemed payment occurs other than on the last day of the related Interest Periods.

SECTION 2.20. Extended Term Loans and Extended Revolving Commitments.

(a) Any Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the Term Loans of any Class (an “Existing Term Loan Class”) be converted to extend the scheduled maturity date(s) of any payment of principal with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of such Term Loans (any such Term Loans which have been so converted, “Extended Term Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.20. In order to establish any Extended Term Loans, the Borrower Agent shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders under the Existing Term Loan Class) (an “Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Term Loans to be established, which shall be consistent with the Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Class from which such Extended Term Loans are to be converted except that:

(i) all or any of the scheduled amortization payments of principal of the Extended Term Loans may be delayed to later dates than the scheduled amortization payments of principal of the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Class to the extent provided in the applicable Additional Credit Extension Amendment;

(ii) the interest margins with respect to the Extended Term Loans may be different than the Applicable Rate for the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Class and upfront fees may be paid to the Extending Term Lenders to the extent provided in the applicable Additional Credit Extension Amendment; and

(iii) the Additional Credit Extension Amendment may provide for other covenants and terms that apply only after the Term Loan A Maturity Date.

(b) Any Extended Term Loans converted pursuant to any Extension Request shall be designated a series of Extended Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that, subject to the limitations set forth in clause (a) above, any Extended Term Loans converted from an Existing Term Loan Class may, to the extent provided in the applicable Additional Credit Extension Amendment and consistent with the requirements set forth above, be designated as an increase in any previously established Class of Term Loans.

(c) The Borrower Agent shall provide the applicable Extension Request at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which Lenders under the applicable Existing Term Loan Class are requested to respond. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Term Loans of any Existing Term Loan Class converted into Extended Term Loans pursuant to any Extension Request. Any Lender wishing to have all or a portion of its Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Class subject to such Extension Request (such Lender an “Extending Term Lender”) converted into Extended Term Loans shall notify the Administrative Agent (an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Class which it has elected to request be converted into Extended Term Loans (subject to any minimum denomination requirements reasonably imposed by the Administrative Agent and acceptable to the Borrower Agent). In the event that the aggregate amount of Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Class subject to Extension Elections exceeds the amount of Extended Term Loans requested pursuant to an Extension Request, Term Loans of the Existing Term Loan Class subject to Extension Elections shall be converted to Extended Term Loans on a pro rata basis based on the amount of Term Loans included in each such Extension Election (subject to any minimum denomination requirements reasonably imposed by the Administrative Agent and acceptable to the Borrower Agent).

(d) The Borrower Agent may, with the consent of each Person providing an Extended Revolving Commitment, the Administrative Agent and any Person acting as swingline lender or issuing bank under such Extended Revolving Commitments, amend this Agreement pursuant to an Additional Credit Extension Amendment to provide for Extended Revolving Commitments and to incorporate the terms of such Extended Revolving Commitments into this Agreement on substantially the same basis as provided with respect to the Revolving Commitments; provided that (i) the establishment of any such Extended Revolving Commitments shall be accompanied by a corresponding reduction in the Revolving Commitments and (ii) any reduction in the Revolving Commitments may, at the option of the Borrower Agent, be directed to a disproportional reduction of the Revolving Commitments of any Lender providing an Extended Revolving Commitment. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Revolving Loans of any Class converted into Extended Revolving Commitments.

(e) Any Extended Term Loans and any Extended Revolving Commitments shall be established pursuant to an Additional Credit Extension Amendment to this Agreement among the Borrower Agent, the applicable Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Extending Term Lender or Lender providing an Extended Revolving Commitment which shall be consistent with the provisions set forth above (but which shall not require the consent of any other Lender other than those consents provided pursuant to this Agreement). Each Additional Credit Extension Amendment shall be binding on the Lenders, the Loan Parties and the other parties hereto. In connection with any Additional Credit Extension Amendment, the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent shall enter into such amendments to the Collateral Documents (other than during a Collateral Suspension Period) as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent (which shall not require any consent from any Lender other than those consents provided pursuant to this Agreement) in order to ensure that the Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments are provided with the benefit of the applicable Collateral Documents (other than during a Collateral Suspension Period) and shall deliver such other documents, certificates and opinions of counsel in connection therewith as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent.

(f) The provisions of this Section 2.20 shall override any provision of Section 9.02 to the contrary.

SECTION 2.21. Judgment Currency. If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due from a Borrower hereunder in one currency into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction the first currency could be purchased by the Administrative Agent with such other currency on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which final, non-appealable judgment is given. The obligations of the Borrowers in respect of any sum due to any party hereto or any holder of the obligations owing hereunder (the “Applicable Creditor”) shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than the currency in which such sum is stated to be due hereunder (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by the Applicable Creditor of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Applicable Creditor may in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Applicable Creditor in the Agreement Currency, each applicable Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Applicable Creditor against such loss, and if the amount of the specified currency so purchased exceeds (a) the sum originally due to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the Agreement Currency and (b) any amounts shared with other Lenders as a result of allocations of such excess as a disproportionate payment to such Lender under Section 2.17, such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, agrees to remit such excess to the applicable Borrowers.

SECTION 2.22. Defaulting Lenders.

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Revolving Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(i) fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Revolving Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(a);

(ii) the Revolving Commitment and Revolving Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 9.02); provided that this clause (ii) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such Lender or each Lender affected thereby;

(iii) if any Swingline Exposure or LC Exposure exists at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

(1) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing as to which the Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Borrower or a Revolving Lender at the time of any such reallocation, all or any part of the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages (disregarding for this purpose the Revolving Commitments of any Defaulting Lenders for all purposes of such calculation) but only to the extent that the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Commitments;

(2) if the reallocation described in clause (1) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the applicable Borrowers shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Swingline Exposure and (y) second, cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Bank only the applicable Borrowers’ obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (1) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.05(j) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;

(3) if the Borrowers cash collateralize any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause (2) above, the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized;

(4) if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause (1) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.11(a) and Section 2.11(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable Percentages; and

(5) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (1) or (2) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Bank or any other Lender hereunder, all fees that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender (solely with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment that was utilized by such LC Exposure) and letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.11(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Bank until and to the extent that such LC Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and

(iv) so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding LC Exposure under such Revolving Facility will be 100% covered by the Revolving Commitments under such Revolving Facility of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the applicable Borrowers in accordance with Section 2.22(a)(iii), and participating interests in any newly made Swingline Loan or any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.22(a)(iii)(1) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).

(b) If (i) a Bankruptcy Event with respect to a parent entity of any Lender shall occur following the Effective Date and for so long as such event shall continue or (ii) the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Bank has a good faith belief that any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, shall have entered into arrangements with the applicable Borrowers or such Lender, satisfactory to the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder.

(c) In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of the Revolving Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Loans and participations in then outstanding Letters of Credit of the other Revolving Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold Revolving Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage (whereupon such Lender shall cease to be a Defaulting Lender).

(d) Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties hereto, each such party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Lender or Agent that is an EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(i) 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 or Agent that is an EEA Financial Institution; and

(ii) the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(A) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(B) 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 Loan Document; or

(C) 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 2.23. Bankers’ Acceptances.

(a) The Borrowers may issue Bankers’ Acceptances denominated in Canadian Dollars for acceptance and purchase by the Revolving Lenders in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.01, Section 2.03 and this Section 2.23.

(b) Each Bankers’ Acceptance shall have a Contract Period of approximately 30, 60 or 90 days or such other terms as available. No Contract Period shall extend beyond the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. If such Contract Period would otherwise end on a day that is not a Business Day, such Contract Period shall end on the next preceding day that is a Business Day.

(c) On each Borrowing date on which Bankers’ Acceptances are to be accepted, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Borrower Agent as to the Administrative Agent’s determination of the applicable Discount Rate for the Bankers’ Acceptances which any of the Revolving Lenders have agreed to purchase.

(d) Each Revolving Lender agrees to purchase a Bankers’ Acceptance accepted by it. The applicable Borrower shall sell, and such Revolving Lender shall purchase, the Bankers’ Acceptance at the applicable Discount Rate. Such Revolving Lender shall provide to the Canadian Funding Office the Discount Proceeds less the Acceptance Fee payable by the applicable Borrower with respect to such Bankers’ Acceptance. Such proceeds will then be made available to the applicable Borrower by the Administrative Agent crediting an account as directed by such Borrower with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by such Revolving Lenders and in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent.

(e) Each Revolving Lender may from time to time hold, sell, rediscount or otherwise dispose of any or all Bankers’ Acceptances accepted and purchased by it.

(f) To facilitate Borrowings denominated in Canadian Dollars under the Revolving Facility to the Borrowers by way of B/As, the Borrowers hereby appoint each Revolving Lender as its attorney to sign and endorse on its behalf, in handwriting or by facsimile or mechanical signature as and when deemed necessary by such Revolving Lender, blank forms of B/As reasonably acceptable to the Borrower Agent. In this respect, it is each Revolving Lender’s responsibility to maintain an adequate supply of blank forms of B/As for acceptance under this Agreement. Each Borrower recognizes and agrees that all B/As required to be accepted and purchased by any Revolving Lender and which are signed and/or endorsed on its behalf by a Revolving Lender shall bind such Borrower as fully and effectually as if signed in the handwriting of and duly issued by the proper signing officers of such Borrower. Each Revolving Lender is hereby authorized to issue such B/As endorsed in blank in such face amounts as may be determined by such Revolving Lender; provided that the aggregate amount thereof is equal to the aggregate amount of B/As required to be accepted and purchased by such Revolving Lender. No Revolving Lender shall be liable for any damage, loss or other claim arising by reason of any loss or improper use of any such instrument except the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Revolving Lender or its officers, employees, agents or representatives. On request by the Borrower Agent, each Revolving Lender shall cancel all forms of B/As which have been pre-signed or pre-endorsed by or on behalf of such Borrower and which are held by such Revolving Lender and have not yet been issued in accordance herewith. Each Revolving Lender shall maintain a record with respect to B/As held by it in blank hereunder, voided by it for any reason, accepted and purchased by it hereunder, and cancelled at their respective maturities. Each Revolving Lender agrees to provide such records to the Borrower Agent at the Borrowers’ expense upon request.

(g) Drafts drawn by a Borrower to be accepted as Bankers’ Acceptances shall be signed by a duly authorized officer or officers of such Borrower or by its attorneys, including attorneys appointed pursuant to Section 2.21(f) above. Notwithstanding that any Person whose signature appears on any Bankers’ Acceptance may no longer be an authorized signatory for a Borrower, as applicable, at the time of issuance of a Bankers’ Acceptance, that signature shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes as if the authority had remained in force at the time of issuance and any Bankers’ Acceptance so signed shall be binding on such Borrower.

(h) The Administrative Agent, promptly following receipt of a notice of Borrowing, continuation or conversion by way of Bankers’ Acceptances, shall advise the applicable Revolving Lenders of the notice and shall advise each such Revolving Lender of the face amount of Bankers’ Acceptances to be accepted by it and the applicable Contract Period (which shall be identical for all Revolving Lenders). The aggregate face amount of Bankers’ Acceptances to be accepted by a Revolving Lender shall be determined by the Administrative Agent by reference to such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the issue of Bankers’ Acceptances, except that, if the face amount of a Bankers’ Acceptance which would otherwise be accepted by a Revolving Lender would not be CAD$100,000, or a whole multiple thereof, the face amount shall be increased or reduced by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion to CAD$l00,000, or the nearest whole multiple of that amount, as appropriate.

(i) Each Borrower waives presentment for payment and any other defense to payment of any amounts due to a Revolving Lender in respect of a Bankers’ Acceptance accepted and purchased by it pursuant to this Agreement which might exist solely by reason of the Bankers’ Acceptance being held, at the maturity thereof, by such Revolving Lender in its own right. On the specified maturity date of a B/A, or the date of any prepayment thereof in accordance with this Agreement, if earlier, the applicable Borrower shall pay to such Revolving Lender that has accepted such B/A the full face amount of such B/A (or shall make provision for payment by way of conversion or continuation in accordance with Section 2.07) in full and absolute satisfaction of its obligations with respect to such B/A, and after such payment, the applicable Borrower shall have no further liability in respect of such B/A (except to the extent that any such payment is rescinded or reclaimed by operation of law or otherwise) and such Revolving Lender shall be entitled to all benefits of, and will make and otherwise be responsible for all payments due to the redeeming holder or any third parties under, such B/A.

(j) Whenever a Borrower requests a borrowing by way of Bankers’ Acceptances, each Non BA Lender shall, in lieu of accepting and purchasing any B/As, make a Loan (a “BA Equivalent Loan”) to such Borrower in the amount and for the same term as each Draft which such Lender would otherwise have been required to accept and purchase hereunder. Each such Lender will provide to the Administrative Agent the amount of Discount Proceeds of such BA Equivalent Loan for the account of the applicable Borrower in the same manner as such Lender would have provided the Discount Proceeds in respect of the Draft which such Lender would otherwise have been required to accept and purchase hereunder. Each such BA Equivalent Loan will bear interest at the same rate that would result if such Lender had accepted (and been paid an acceptance fee) and purchased (on a discounted basis) a B/A for the relevant Contract Period (it being the intention of the parties that each such BA Equivalent Loan shall have the same economic consequences for the relevant Lenders and the applicable Borrower as the B/A that such BA Equivalent Loan replaces). All such interest shall be paid in advance on the date such BA Equivalent Loan is made, and will be deducted from the principal amount of such BA Equivalent Loan in the same manner in which the discounted portion of a B/A would be deducted from the face amount of the B/A. Subject to the repayment requirements of this Agreement, on the last day of the relevant Contract Period for such BA Equivalent Loan, the applicable Borrower shall be entitled to convert each such BA Equivalent Loan into another type of Loan, or to roll over each such BA Equivalent Loan into another BA Equivalent Loan, all in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement. Each Non BA Lender may, at its discretion, request in writing to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower that BA Equivalent Loans made by it shall be evidenced by Discount Notes.

(k) For greater certainty, all provisions of this Agreement that are applicable to B/As shall also be applicable, mutatis mutandis, to BA Equivalent Loans, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, all references to principal amounts or any repayment or prepayment of any Loans that are applicable to B/As or BA Drawings shall be deemed to refer to the full face amount thereof in the case of B/As and to the principal amount of any portion thereof consisting of BA Equivalent Loans. As set out in the definition of “Bankers’ Acceptances,” that term includes Discount Notes and all terms of this Agreement applicable to Bankers’ Acceptances (including the provisions of Section 2.23(f) relating to their execution by the Revolving Lenders under power of attorney) shall apply equally to Discount Notes evidencing BA Equivalent Loans with such changes as may in the context be necessary. For greater certainty:

(i) the term of a Discount Note shall be the same as the Contract Period for Bankers’ Acceptances accepted and purchased on the same Borrowing date in respect of the same borrowing;

(ii) an acceptance fee will be payable in respect of a Discount Note and shall be calculated at the same rate and in the same manner as the Acceptance Fee in respect of a Bankers’ Acceptance; and

(iii) the Discount Rate applicable to a Discount Note shall be the Discount Rate applicable to Bankers’ Acceptances accepted by a Revolving Lender that is not a Schedule I Lender in accordance with the definition of “Discount Rate” on the same Borrowing date or date of continuation or conversion, as the case may be, in respect of the same borrowing for the relevant Contract Period.

(l) At the option of the applicable Borrower and any Revolving Lender, Bankers’ Acceptances under this Agreement to be accepted by such Revolving Lender may be issued in the form of depository bills for deposit with The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited pursuant to the Depository Bills and Notes Act (Canada). All depository bills so issued shall be governed by the provisions of this Section 2.23.

(m) Upon acceptance of a Bankers’ Acceptance by a Revolving Lender, the applicable Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Revolving Lender a fee (the “Acceptance Fee”) calculated on the face amount of the Bankers’ Acceptance at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Rate on the basis of the number of days in the Contract Period for such Bankers’ Acceptance. Any adjustment to the Acceptance Fee (including any adjustment as necessary to reflect the operation of Section 2.12(d)) shall be computed based on the number of days remaining in the Contract Period of such Bankers’ Acceptances from and including the effective date of any change in the Applicable Rate. Any increase in such Acceptance Fee shall be paid by the applicable Borrower to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Revolving Lenders on the last day of the Contract Period of the relevant Bankers’ Acceptance. Any decrease in such Acceptance Fee shall be paid by each Revolving Lender to the applicable Borrower, through the Administrative Agent, on the last day of the Contract Period of the relevant Bankers’ Acceptance.

SECTION 2.24. Circumstances Making Bankers’ Acceptances Unavailable.

(a) If prior to the commencement of any Contract Period, (i) the Administrative Agent determines in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive and binding on the applicable Borrowers, and notifies the Borrower Agent that, by reason of circumstances affecting the money market, there is no readily available market for Bankers’ Acceptances, or (ii) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Discount Rate or CDOR Rate, as applicable, for such Contract Period; or (iii) the Administrative Agent is advised by one or more Revolving Lenders that the Discount Rate or CDOR Rate, as applicable, for such Contract Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their portion of such BA Drawings included in such Borrowing for such Contract Period then:

(i) the right of the Borrowers to request a borrowing by way of BA Drawing shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent determines that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist and the Administrative Agent so notifies the Borrower Agent; and

(ii) any notice relating to a borrowing by way of BA Drawing which is outstanding at such time shall be deemed to be a notice requesting a borrowing by way of Canadian Prime Rate Loans (all as if it were a notice given pursuant to Section 2.03).

(b) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower Agent and the Revolving Lenders of the suspension in accordance with Section 2.24(a) of the Borrowers’ right to request a borrowing by way of BA Drawing and of the termination of such suspension.

SECTION 2.25. Borrower Agent. Each of the other Borrowers appoints the Parent Entity (in such capacity, the “Borrower Agent”) as its agent for all purposes relevant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including the giving and receipt of notices and execution and delivery of all documents, instruments, and certificates contemplated herein and all modifications hereto. The Borrowers may from time to time appoint a new entity as Borrower Agent with the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Any acknowledgment, consent, direction, certification, or other action which might otherwise be valid or effective only if given or taken by all or any of the Borrowers or acting singly, shall be valid and effective if given or taken only by the Borrower Agent, whether or not any of the other Borrowers join therein, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have no duty or obligation to make further inquiry with respect to the authority of the Borrower Agent under this Section 2.25; provided that nothing in this Section 2.25 shall limit the effectiveness of, or the right of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to rely upon, any notice (including without limitation a Borrowing Request or other request for any credit extension or notices of conversion or continuation of Loans), document, instrument, certificate, acknowledgment, consent, direction, certification or other action delivered by any Borrower pursuant to this Agreement.

ARTICLE III

Representations and Warranties

The Borrowers, jointly and severally, represent and warrant to the Lenders as of the Closing Date and (except as to representations and warranties made as of a certain date) as of the date such representations and warranties are deemed to be made under Section 4.03 of this Agreement that:

SECTION 3.01. Organization; Powers; Subsidiaries.

Schedule 3.01 hereto identifies each Subsidiary of the Parent Entity on the Effective Date, if such Subsidiary is a Specified Domestic Subsidiary or a Specified Foreign Subsidiary, the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization, as the case may be, the percentage of issued and outstanding shares of its capital stock or other equity interests owned by the Parent Entity and the other Subsidiaries. All of the outstanding shares of capital stock and other equity interests, to the extent owned by the Parent Entity or any Restricted Subsidiary, of each Restricted Subsidiary are validly issued and outstanding and fully paid and nonassessable and all such shares and other equity interests indicated on Schedule 3.01 as owned by the Parent Entity or another Restricted Subsidiary were owned, beneficially and of record, by the Parent Entity or such Restricted Subsidiary on the Effective Date free and clear of all Liens, other than Liens permitted under Section 6.02. As of the Effective Date, there were no outstanding commitments or other obligations of any Subsidiary to issue, and no options, warrants or other rights of any Person to acquire, any shares of any class of capital stock or other equity interests of any Subsidiary, except as disclosed on Schedule 3.01.

SECTION 3.02. Authorization; Enforceability. The execution and delivery of the Loan Documents by each Loan Party party thereto and the performance by such Loan Party thereof are within such Loan Party’s corporate, limited liability company or partnership powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other organizational and, if required, stockholder action. The Loan Documents have been duly executed and delivered by the Loan Parties party thereto and constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Loan Parties party thereto, enforceable against such Loan Parties in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

SECTION 3.03. Governmental Approvals; No Conflicts. The Transactions (a) do not require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority, except for (A) filings necessary to perfect or maintain the perfection of the Liens on the Collateral granted by the Loan Parties in favor of the Administrative Agent, (B) the approvals, consents, registrations, actions and filings which have been duly obtained, taken, given or made and are in full force and effect and (C) those approvals, consents, registrations or other actions or filings, the failure of which to obtain or make could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (b) will not violate (i) any applicable law or regulation or order of any Governmental Authority or (ii) the charter, by-laws or other organizational documents of any Loan Party, (c) will not violate or result in a default under any indenture, agreement or other instrument binding upon any Loan Party or its assets, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by any Loan Party, and (d) will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any material asset of any Loan Party (other than pursuant to the Loan Documents (other than during a Collateral Suspension Period) and Liens permitted by Section 6.02); except with respect to any violation or default referred to in clause (b)(i) or (c) above, to the extent that such violation or default could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Since December 31, 2016, there has been no material adverse change in the business, assets, properties or financial condition of the Parent Entity and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

SECTION 3.05. Properties.

There are no Liens on any of the real or personal properties of the Parent Entity or any Restricted Subsidiary except for Liens permitted by Section 6.02. No Mortgage encumbers improved real property that is located in an area that has been identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (or any successor agency) as a special flood hazard area with respect to which flood insurance has been made available under the Flood Insurance Laws.

(b) Each of the Parent Entity and its Restricted Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed or possesses the right to use, all trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, patents and other intellectual property material to the operation of the business of the Parent Entity, the Borrowers and the Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and, to the knowledge of the Borrower Agent, the use thereof by the Parent Entity and its Restricted Subsidiaries does not infringe upon the rights of any other Person, except for any such infringements that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.06. Litigation and Environmental Matters.

(a) There are no actions, suits or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending against or, to the knowledge of the Borrower Agent, threatened against or affecting the Parent Entity or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination and that could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect. There are no labor controversies pending against or, to the knowledge of the Borrowers, threatened against or affecting the Parent Entity or any of its Subsidiaries which could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Except with respect to any matters that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, neither the Parent Entity nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (i) has failed to comply with any Environmental Law or to obtain, maintain or comply with any permit, license or other approval required under any Environmental Law, (ii) has become subject to any Environmental Liability, (iii) has received notice of any claim with respect to any Environmental Liability or (iv) knows of any basis for any Environmental Liability.

SECTION 3.07. Compliance with Laws . Each of the Parent Entity and its Restricted Subsidiaries is in compliance with all laws, regulations and orders of any Governmental Authority applicable to it or its property, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.08. Investment Company Status. Neither the Parent Entity nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is required to register as an “investment company” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940.

SECTION 3.09. Taxes. The Parent Entity and each of its Restricted Subsidiaries (including the U.S. Parent Borrower) has timely filed or caused to be filed (taking into account extensions) all Tax returns and reports required to have been filed and has paid or caused to be paid all Taxes levied or imposed upon them or their properties, income or assets otherwise due and payable (including in its capacity as a withholding agent), except, in each case, (a) Taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings that stay the enforcement of the tax in question and for which the Parent Entity, the U.S. Parent Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, has set aside on its books reserves to the extent required by GAAP or (b) to the extent that the failure to make such filing or payment could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect. There is no current, proposed or, to the Borrower Agent’s knowledge any pending, Tax assessment, deficiency or other claim against the Parent Entity or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (including the U.S. Parent Borrower) except (i) those being actively contested by the Parent Entity, the U.S. Parent Borrower, or such Restricted Subsidiary in good faith and by appropriate proceedings that stay the enforcement of the tax in question and for which adequate reserves have been provided in accordance with GAAP or (ii) those would not reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.10. Solvency. On the Closing Date after giving effect to the Transactions, the Parent Entity and its Restricted Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, are Solvent.

SECTION 3.11. Labor Matters.

The consummation of the Transactions will not give rise to any right of termination or right of renegotiation on the part of any union under any collective bargaining agreement to which the Parent Entity or any Restricted Subsidiary is bound, except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.12. Disclosure. As of the Effective Date, none of the reports, financial statements, certificates or other written information (excluding any financial projections or pro forma financial information) furnished by or on behalf of the Parent Entity or any Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or delivered hereunder (as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished), when taken as a whole, contains as of the date of such statement, information, document or certificate was so furnished any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading. The projections and pro forma financial information contained in the materials referenced above have been prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed by management of the Borrowers 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.

SECTION 3.13. Anti-Corruption Laws; Sanctions. The Parent Entity and the other Borrowers have implemented and maintain in effect policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance by Parent, each Borrower, their respective Subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents with Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions, and the Parent Entity, the Borrowers, their respective Subsidiaries and, to the knowledge of the Responsible Officers of Parent, their respective officers, employees, directors and agents, are in compliance with Anti-Corruption Laws, except for violations that are not material. None of the Parent Entity, any Borrower, any Subsidiary or to the knowledge of the Parent Entity, any of their respective directors, officers or employees or agents, is a Sanctioned Person.

SECTION 3.14. Federal Reserve Regulations. No part of the proceeds of any Loan have been used or will be used, whether directly or indirectly, for any purpose that entails a violation of any of the Regulations of the Board, including Regulations T, U and X. Neither the Parent Entity nor any of its Subsidiaries is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of buying or carrying margin stock (as defined in Regulation U).

SECTION 3.15. Security Interests. Other than during a Collateral Suspension Period, the provisions of each Collateral Document are (or, at the time delivered, will be) effective to create legal and valid Liens on all the Collateral in respect of which and to the extent such Collateral Document purports to create Liens in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties; and upon the proper filing of UCC financing statements, the proper filing of Mortgages with respect to Material Real Properties and the taking of all other actions to be taken pursuant to the terms of the Collateral Documents, such Liens constitute perfected and continuing Liens on the Collateral, securing the Obligations, enforceable against the applicable Loan Party and all third parties to the extent required by the Collateral Documents.

SECTION 5.02. Notices of Material Events. The Borrower Agent will furnish to the Administrative Agent (for prompt notification to each Lender) prompt (but in any event within five (5) Business Days) written notice after any Financial Officer of the Borrower Agent obtains knowledge of the following:

SECTION 5.04. Payment of Taxes. Except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, each Loan Party will, and will cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, pay all of its Taxes (including Taxes imposed upon it or any of its properties or assets or in respect of any of its income, businesses or franchises) before any penalty or fine accrues thereon; provided that no such Tax or claim need be paid if it is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, so long as adequate reserves or other appropriate provision, if any, as shall be required in conformity with GAAP shall have been made therefor.

SECTION 5.05. Maintenance of Properties; Insurance. The Parent Entity will, and will cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, (a) keep and maintain all Property material to the conduct of its business in good working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted and casualty or condemnation excepted, except if the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and (b) maintain, with financially sound and reputable insurance companies or through self-insurance, insurance in such amounts and against such risks as are customarily maintained by companies engaged in the same or similar businesses operating in the same or similar locations. Except during a Collateral Suspension Period, all property and liability insurance relating to Collateral, including insurance requested in connection with any after-acquired Material Real Property, if any, which shall be subject to a Mortgage delivered after the Effective Date pursuant to Section 5.09(b), shall, as reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, name the Administrative Agent as mortgagee (in the case of property insurance), if applicable, or additional insured on behalf of the Secured Parties (in the case of liability insurance) or loss payee (in the case of property insurance), as applicable.

SECTION 5.06. Inspection Rights . The Parent Entity will, and will cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, permit any representatives designated by the Administrative Agent or, during the continuance of an Event of Default, any Lender, upon reasonable prior notice, to visit and inspect its properties, to examine and make extracts from its books and records, and to discuss its affairs, finances and condition with its officers and use commercially reasonable efforts to make its independent accountants available to discuss the affairs, finances and condition of the Parent Entity and the Borrowers, all at such reasonable times and as often as reasonably requested and in all cases subject to applicable Law and the terms of applicable confidentiality agreements; provided that (i) the Lenders will conduct such requests for visits and inspections through the Administrative Agent and (ii) unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such visits and inspections can occur no more frequently than once per year and the costs and expenses of only one such visit or inspection per year shall be required to be reimbursed by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 9.03.

The Parent Entity will, and will cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, comply with all laws, rules, regulations and orders of any Governmental Authority applicable to it or its property (including without limitation Environmental Laws), in each case except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

The Borrowers shall use (x) the Term Loans issued on the Closing Date (i) to pay a portion of the Distribution, (ii) for general corporate purposes (including acquisitions and other investments), and (iii) to pay fees and expenses in connection with the Transactions and (y) the Letters of Credit and the proceeds of the Revolving Loans and other credit extensions made under this Agreement only to finance the working capital needs, and for general corporate purposes (including refinancing of existing Indebtedness, acquisitions and other investments), of the Parent Entity and its Restricted Subsidiaries. No part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used, whether directly or indirectly, for any purpose that entails a violation of any of the Regulations of the Board, including Regulations T, U and X, or of any Anti-Corruption Law or applicable Sanctions.

SECTION 5.10. Maintenance of Ratings. The Borrowers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain (i) Corporate Ratings and (ii) a public rating in respect of the Term Loans from each of S&P and Moody’s.

The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to enter into any New Collateral Documents in connection with any Collateral Reinstatement Event.

SECTION 5.12. Guaranty Release During Covenant Suspension Period.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any Loan Document, if a Covenant Suspension Period occurs, upon delivery of a written request by the Borrower Agent to the Administrative Agent, each Guarantor (other than the Parent Entity and each Borrower) shall be automatically released from its obligations under the applicable Guaranty to the extent that such Guarantors are not required (or substantially concurrently or after giving effect to this Section 5.12, will not be required) to Guarantee any Material Indebtedness of any Borrower or the Parent Entity.

SECTION 5.13. Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

(a) The Parent Entity may at any time designate any Restricted Subsidiary (other than a Borrower) as an Unrestricted Subsidiary or designate (or re-designate, as the case may be) any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary; provided, that:

The designation of any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary will constitute (i) a deemed return of Investment to the Parent Entity in an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the original amount of all Investments made by the Parent Entity and its Restricted Subsidiaries in such Unrestricted Subsidiary and (y) the Fair Market Value of the Parent Entity’s and is Restricted Subsidiaries’ Investments in such Unrestricted Subsidiary at such time and (ii) the incurrence at the time of designation of any Indebtedness and Liens of such Subsidiary existing at such time.

Indebtedness permitted by this Section 6.01 need not be permitted solely by reference to one provision permitting such Indebtedness but may be permitted in part by one such provision and in part by one or more other provisions of this Section 6.01 permitting such Indebtedness. In the event that Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the types of Indebtedness described in this Section 6.01, the Borrower Agent, in its sole discretion, shall classify such Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) as of the time of Incurrence and will only be required to include the amount of such Indebtedness in one of such clauses.

For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness where the Indebtedness incurred is denominated in a different currency, the amount of such Indebtedness will be the Dollar Equivalent determined on the date of the incurrence of such Indebtedness; provided, however, that (i) if any such Indebtedness denominated in a different currency is subject to a Swap Agreement with respect to U.S. dollars covering all principal, premium, if any, and interest payable on such Indebtedness, the amount of such Indebtedness expressed in U.S. dollars will be as provided in such Swap Agreement and (ii) if such Indebtedness is Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that may be incurred pursuant to this Section 6.01 shall not be deemed to be exceeded with respect to any outstanding Indebtedness due solely to the fluctuations in the exchange rates of currencies.

SECTION 6.02. Liens. The Parent Entity will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, create, incur, assume or permit to exist any Lien on any Property now owned or hereafter acquired by it, except:

(%3) Permitted Encumbrances;

then, and in every such event (other than an event with respect to the Parent Entity or any Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of this Article VII), and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such event, the Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders shall, by notice to the Borrower Agent, take either or both of the following actions, at the same or different times: (i) terminate the Commitments, and thereupon the Commitments shall terminate immediately, and (ii) declare the Loans then outstanding to be due and payable in whole (or in part, in which case any principal not so declared to be due and payable may thereafter be declared to be due and payable), and thereupon the principal of the Loans so declared to be due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other obligations of the Borrowers accrued hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, shall become due and payable immediately, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers; and in case of any event with respect to the Parent Entity or any Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of this Article VII, the Commitments shall automatically terminate and the principal of the Loans then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other Obligations accrued hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, shall automatically become due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers.

In addition to any other rights and remedies granted to the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties in the Loan Documents, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties may exercise all rights and remedies of a secured party under the New York Uniform Commercial Code or any other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Loan Party or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, or consent to the use by the Loan Party of any cash collateral arising in respect of the Collateral on such terms as the Administrative Agent deems reasonable, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign give an option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of and deliver, or acquire by credit bid on behalf of the Secured Parties, the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party or elsewhere, upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery, all without assumption of any credit risk. The Administrative Agent or any Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in any Loan Party, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. Each Loan Party further agrees, at the Administrative Agent’s reasonable request and upon reasonable advance notice, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Administrative Agent at places which the Administrative Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Loan Party’s premises or elsewhere. The Administrative Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Article VII or in respect of any sale of, collection from or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral as follows:

First, to the payment of all reasonable costs and expenses, fees, commissions and taxes of such sale, collection or other realization including compensation to the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and all expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection therewith and all amounts for which the Administrative Agent is entitled to indemnification pursuant to the provisions of any Loan Document, together with interest on each such amount at the highest rate then in effect under this Agreement from and after the date such amount is due, owing or unpaid until paid in full;

Second, to the payment of all other reasonable costs and expenses of such sale, collection or other realization 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, together with interest on each such amount at the highest rate then in effect under this Agreement from and after the date such amount is due, owing or unpaid until paid in full;

Third, without duplication of amounts applied pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) above, to the indefeasible payment in full in cash, pro rata, of interest and other amounts constituting Obligations (other than principal, reimbursement obligations with respect to LC Disbursements and obligations to cash collateralize Letters of Credit) and any fees, premiums and scheduled periodic payments due in respect of Cash Management Obligations or under any Secured Hedge Agreements constituting Obligations and any interest accrued thereon, in each case equally and ratably in accordance with the respective amounts thereof then due and owing;

Fourth, to the indefeasible payment in full in cash, pro rata, of principal amount of the Obligations and any premium thereon (including reimbursement obligations with respect to LC Disbursements and obligations to cash collateralize Letters of Credit) and any breakage, termination or other payments due to in respect of Cash Management Obligations and under any Secured Hedge Agreements constituting Obligations and any interest accrued thereon; and

Fifth, the balance, if any, to the person lawfully entitled thereto (including the applicable Loan Party or its successors or assigns) or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

In the event that any such proceeds are insufficient to pay in full the items described in clauses (a) through (e) of above, the Loan Parties shall remain liable, jointly and severally, for any deficiency.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, amounts received from any Loan Party shall not be applied to any Excluded Swap Obligation of such Loan Party.

If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition. In the event of any conflict between this paragraph and the provisions of any Collateral Document, the provisions of such Collateral Document shall control. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Cash Management Obligations or Obligations arising under Secured Hedge Agreements except to the extent expressly provided herein and 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 Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank, as the case may be.

ARTICLE VIII

The Administrative Agent

(a) Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and the other Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders (including in its capacities as a potential Hedge Bank and a potential Cash Management Bank) and the Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender and such Issuing Bank for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Administrative Agent, as “collateral agent” and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant hereto for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent, shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article VIII and Article IX (including Section 9.03, as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

(c) The bank serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Parent Entity, any Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.

(d) To the extent required by any applicable laws, 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 2.16, each Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent against, within 10 days after written demand therefor, any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent to properly withhold any Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of such Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective). A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due the Administrative Agent under this clause (d). The agreements in this clause (d) shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations. The term “Lender” shall, for purposes of this clause (d), include any Issuing Bank and any Swingline Lender.

(e) The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided herein), and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Parent Entity or any of the Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided herein) or in the absence of its own bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower Agent or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Collateral Documents or the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

(f) The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrowers), 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 in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(g) The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

(h) Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrower Agent. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower Agent and (unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing) with the consent of the Borrower Agent (which consent of the Borrower Agent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent from among the Lenders which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent.

(i) Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender 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 related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

(j) The Lenders irrevocably agree:

(i) that any Lien on any Property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document shall be automatically released (A) upon termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than (x) obligations under Secured Hedge Agreements, (y) Cash Management Obligations and (z) contingent reimbursement and indemnification obligations not yet accrued and payable) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit, (B) at the time the Property subject to such Lien is transferred or to be transferred as part of or in connection with any transfer permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document to any Person (other than (x) in the case of a transfer by a U.S. Loan Party, any transfer to another U.S. Loan Party and (y) in the case of a transfer by a Foreign Guarantor, any transfer to a Loan Party), (C) subject to Section 9.02, if the release of such Lien is approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (or such greater number of Lenders as may be required pursuant to Section 9.02), (D) if the Property subject to such Lien is owned by a Guarantor, upon release of such Guarantor from its obligations under its Guarantee under the applicable Guaranty pursuant to clause (iii) below or (E) upon the occurrence of a Collateral Suspension Period;

(ii) (A) to release or subordinate any Lien on any Property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 6.02(e) and in connection with securitizations and factorings of accounts receivable not otherwise prohibited by this Agreement and (B) that the Administrative Agent is authorized (but not required) to (x) release or subordinate any Lien on any Property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such Property that is permitted by any other clause of Section 6.02 and (y) release any Lien on any Property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Collateral Document during a Collateral Suspension Period, pursuant to Section 5.11(a);

(iii) that any Guarantor (other than the Parent Entity) shall be automatically released from its obligations under the applicable Guaranty (1) if such Person ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Parent Entity pursuant to a transaction permitted hereunder, (2) in the case of Parent, solely in the event that Parent is not then the Parent Entity, if Parent is not otherwise required to be a Guarantor under Section 5.12, (3) in the case of any direct or indirect parent of the U.S. Parent Borrower, such Person ceases to be a direct or indirect parent of the U.S. Parent Borrower, in each case as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder or (4) to the extent set forth in Section 5.12; and

(iv) except during a Collateral Suspension Period, the Administrative Agent may enter into the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, without any further consent from any Secured Party, in connection with any incurrence by a Borrower of Permitted Debt Securities and bind the Secured Parties thereby.

Other than in connection with a Collateral Suspension Period (as it relates to Collateral Documents) or a Covenant Suspension Period (as it relates to the Guaranty (other than the Guarantees by the Parent Entity)), upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders (or such greater number of Lenders as may be required pursuant to Section 9.02) will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of Property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the applicable Guaranty and Collateral Documents pursuant to this paragraph (j). In each case as specified in this paragraph (j), the Administrative Agent will (and each Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to), at the Borrowers’ expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release or subordination of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Collateral Documents, or to evidence the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under the applicable Guaranty, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this paragraph (j). The Lenders irrevocably agree that the Parent Entity shall cease to be a Borrower hereunder upon the occurrence of a Permitted Parent Borrower Release.

(k) None of the Persons identified in this Agreement as an “arranger,” “bookrunner,” “co-documentation agent” or “syndication agent” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than, if applicable, those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of such Lenders shall have or be deemed to have a fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender hereby makes the same acknowledgments with respect to the relevant Persons in their respective capacities as an Arranger, Co-Documentation Agent and Co-Syndication Agents as it makes with respect to the Administrative Agent in paragraph (i) of this Article VIII.

(l) Parallel Debt. For purposes of Luxembourg and Netherlands law Collateral Documents only:

(i) The Borrower Agent irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes, as far as necessary in advance, to pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the aggregate of all Obligations to all the Lenders and all the Issuing Banks from time to time due in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement (such payment undertaking and the obligations and liabilities which are the result thereof are referred to as “Parallel Debt”).

(ii) Each of the parties to this Agreement acknowledges that (i) for this purpose, the Parallel Debt of the Borrowers constitutes undertakings, obligations and liabilities of the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent which are separate and independent from, and without prejudice to, the Obligations which the Borrower Agent owes to any Lender or any Issuing Bank and (ii) that the Parallel Debt represents the Administrative Agent’s own claim to receive payment of such Parallel Debt by the Borrower Agent; provided that the total amount which may become due under the Parallel Debt of the Borrower Agent under this clause (l) shall never exceed the total amount which may become due under all the Obligations of the Borrowers to all the Lenders and the Issuing Bank.

(iii) (A) The total amount due by any Borrower as the Parallel Debt under this clause (l) shall be decreased to the extent that the Borrower Agent shall have irrevocably and unconditionally paid any amounts to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks or any of them to reduce the Borrower Agent’s outstanding Obligations or any Lender or any Issuing Bank otherwise receives any amount in irrevocable and unconditional payment of such Obligations (other than by virtue of paragraph (B) hereafter); and (B) to the extent that the Borrower Agent shall have irrevocably and unconditionally paid any amounts to the Administrative Agent under the Parallel Debt or the Administrative Agent shall have otherwise received monies in irrevocable and unconditional payment of such Parallel Debt, the total amount due under the Obligations shall be decreased.

(m) Administrative Agent as Joint and Several Creditor. For purposes of Luxembourg law Collateral Documents only:

(i) Each party hereto agrees that the Administrative Agent:

(A) will be the joint and several creditor (together with the relevant Lenders and the Issuing Banks) of each and every obligation of the Borrower Agent towards each Lender and each Issuing Bank under this Agreement; and

(B) will have its own independent right to demand performance by the Borrower Agent of those obligations.

(ii) Discharge by the Borrower Agent of any obligation owed to the Administrative Agent or another Lender and any Issuing Bank shall, to the same extent, discharge the corresponding obligation owing to the other.

(iii) Without limiting or affecting the Administrative Agent’s rights against the Borrower Agent (whether under this Article VIII or under any other provision of this Agreement), the Administrative Agent agrees with each other Lender and each Issuing Bank (on a several and divided basis) that, subject to paragraph (iv) below, it will not exercise its rights as a joint and several creditor with a Lender or an Issuing Bank except with the consent of the relevant Lender or the relevant Issuing Bank.

(iv) Nothing in paragraph (iii) above shall in any way limit the Administrative Agent’s right to act in the protection or preservation of rights under or to enforce any Collateral Document as contemplated by this Agreement and/or the relevant Collateral Document (or to do any act reasonably incidental to any of the above), other than during a Collateral Suspension Period.

(n) Credit Bidding. The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations (including by accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar laws in any other jurisdictions to which a Loan Party is subject, or (b) at any other sale, foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid by the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that shall vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) for the asset or assets so purchased (or for the equity interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are issued in connection with such purchase). In connection with any such bid (i) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles and to assign any successful credit bid to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles (ii) each of the Secured Parties’ ratable interests in the Obligations which were credit bid shall be deemed without any further action under this Agreement to be assigned to such vehicle or vehicles for the purpose of closing such sale, (iii) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by the Administrative Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or equity interests thereof, shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by, and the governing documents shall provide for, control by the vote of the Required Lenders or their permitted assignees under the terms of this Agreement or the governing documents of the applicable acquisition vehicle or vehicles, as the case may be, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Required Lenders contained in Section 9.02 of this Agreement), (iv) the Administrative Agent on behalf of such acquisition vehicle or vehicles shall be authorized to issue to each of the Secured Parties, ratably on account of the relevant Obligations which were credit bid, interests, whether as equity, partnership, limited partnership interests or membership interests, in any such acquisition vehicle and/or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle, all without the need for any Secured Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (v) to the extent that Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of Obligations credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Secured Parties pro rata and the equity interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of such Obligations shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action. Notwithstanding that the ratable portion of the Obligations of each Secured Party are deemed assigned to the acquisition vehicle or vehicles as set forth in clause (ii) above, each Secured Party shall execute such documents and provide such information regarding the Secured Party (and/or any designee of the Secured Party which will receive interests in or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle) as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in connection with the formation of any acquisition vehicle, the formulation or submission of any credit bid or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such credit bid.

SECTION 9.02. Waivers; Amendments.

(a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the Borrower Agent therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b) Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document (with respect to such Loan Document) or the Fee Letter (with respect to any Loan Document), neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower Agent and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower Agent and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (i) extend or increase the Commitment of any Lender or any Issuing Bank without the written consent of each Lender and Issuing Bank directly and adversely affected thereby, it being understood that a waiver of any condition precedent set forth in Section 4.02 or Section 4.03 or the waiver of any Default or mandatory prepayment shall not constitute an increase of any Commitment of any Lender, but that any waiver of any condition set forth in Section 4.03 following the Closing Date shall require the consent of the Required Facility Lenders with respect to the Facility under which an extension of credit is to be made, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest or premium thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender and Issuing Bank directly and adversely affected thereby, it being understood that any change to the definition of “Consolidated Leverage Ratio” or in the component definitions thereof shall not constitute a reduction in the rate; provided that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to amend Section 2.12(d) or to waive any obligation of the Borrowers to pay interest at the rate set forth therein, (iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender and Issuing Bank directly and adversely affected thereby, it being understood that the waiver of (or amendment to the terms of) any mandatory prepayment of the Term Loans shall not constitute a postponement of any date scheduled for the payment of principal or interest, (iv) change Section 2.17(b) or (c), or the provisions of Article VII, in each case, with respect to the pro rata application of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each adversely affected Lender and each adversely affected Issuing Bank, (v) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders,” “Required Revolving Lenders,” “Required Facility Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, (vi) release all or substantially all of the Guarantors from their obligations under the applicable Guaranty and Collateral Documents without the written consent of each Lender (except in a transaction permitted hereunder); provided that during a Covenant Suspension Period, (x) the Administrative Agent may release all or substantially all of the Guarantors (other than the Parent Entity), without the consent of any Lender and (y) the Required Lenders may waive or amend any requirement to reinstate the guarantee obligations of released Guarantors in the future, or (vii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Lien of the Collateral Documents, without the written consent of each Lender; provided that during a Collateral Suspension Period, (x) the Administrative Agent may release all or substantially all of the of the Collateral from any Lien granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under the Collateral Documents, without the consent of any Lender and (y) the Required Lenders may waive or amend any requirement to reinstate Collateral in the future; provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights, obligations or duties of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the relevant Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers (i) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the 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 Loan Documents with the Term Loans and Revolving Exposures 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.

In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers and the Lenders providing the Replacement Term Loans (as defined below) to permit the refinancing of all outstanding Term Loans of any Class (“Refinanced Term Loans”) with a replacement term loan tranche (“Replacement Term Loans”) hereunder; provided that (a) the aggregate principal amount of such Replacement Term Loans shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, if applicable) of such Refinanced Term Loans except by an amount equal to unpaid accrued interest and premium thereon plus other reasonable amounts paid, and fees and expenses reasonably incurred, in connection with such refinancing, (b) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Replacement Term Loans shall not be shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Refinanced Term Loans at the time of such refinancing (except to the extent of nominal amortization for periods where amortization has been eliminated as a result of prepayment of the Term Loans) and (c) all other terms applicable to such Replacement Term Loans (other than pricing, interest rate margins, rate floors, discounts, premiums, fees, and optional prepayment or optional redemption terms and provisions, all of which shall be determined by the Borrower Agent) shall be substantially identical to, or less favorable to the Lenders providing such Replacement Term Loans than, those applicable to such Refinanced Term Loans, except to the extent necessary to provide for covenants and other terms applicable to any period after the latest final maturity of the Term Loans in effect immediately prior to such refinancing or added to this Agreement for the benefit of the Lenders hereunder (it being understood that no consent shall be required by Lenders for terms or conditions that are more restrictive than this Agreement if such terms or conditions are added to this Agreement); provided that the requirements set forth in clause (b) above shall not apply to any Indebtedness consisting of a customary bridge facility so long as such bridge facility automatically converts into long-term Indebtedness that satisfies the requirements of such clause (b).

In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers and the Lenders providing the Replacement Revolving Loans (as defined below) to permit the refinancing of all outstanding Revolving Loans of any Class (“Refinanced Revolving Loans”) with a replacement term loan tranche (“Replacement Revolving Loans”) hereunder; provided that (a) the aggregate principal amount of such Replacement Revolving Loans shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, if applicable) of such Refinanced Revolving Loans except by an amount equal to unpaid accrued interest and premium thereon plus other reasonable amounts paid, and fees and expenses reasonably incurred, in connection with such refinancing, (b) the maturity date of any Replacement Revolving Loans shall be no earlier than the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and such Replacement Revolving Loans shall require no scheduled amortization or mandatory commitment reduction prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, and (c) all other terms applicable to such Replacement Revolving Loans (other than pricing, interest rate margins, rate floors, discounts, premiums, fees, and optional prepayment or optional redemption terms and provisions, all of which shall be determined by the Borrower Agent) shall be substantially identical to, or less favorable to the Lenders providing such Replacement Revolving Loans than, those applicable to such Refinanced Revolving Loans, except to the extent necessary to provide for covenants and other terms applicable to any period after the latest final maturity of the Revolving Loans in effect immediately prior to such refinancing or added to this Agreement for the benefit of the Lenders hereunder (it being understood that no consent shall be required by Lenders for terms or conditions that are more restrictive than this Agreement if such terms or conditions are added to this Agreement).

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 9.02 to the contrary, (a) modifications to the Loan Documents may be made with the consent of the Borrower Agent and the Administrative Agent to the extent necessary or appropriate (i) to integrate any Incremental Term Loans, any Increased Commitments, any Extended Term Loans or any Extended Revolving Commitments; provided that, without limitation of the foregoing, any such amendment may, (x) increase the interest rates, fees and other amounts payable to any Class or Classes of Loans or Commitments hereunder, (y) increase, expand and/or extend any “most favored nation” provisions benefiting any Class or Classes of Loans or Commitments hereunder and (z) modify any other provision hereunder or under any other Loan Document in connection with the implementation of any Indebtedness permitted hereunder, where the terms of any such Indebtedness are more favorable to the lenders or holders thereof than the corresponding terms applicable to Loans and Commitments then existing hereunder, (ii) to integrate borrowings and issuances of Letters of Credit in Alternative Currencies or additional Borrowers organized in jurisdictions other than the United States, (iii) to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency and (iv) as contemplated by the definition of Permitted Foreign Borrower Jurisdiction and (b) without the consent of any Lender or any Issuing Bank, the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent or any collateral agent may (in their respective sole discretion, or shall, to the extent required by any Loan Document) enter into (x) any amendment, modification or waiver of any Loan Document, or enter into any new agreement or instrument, 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 benefit of the Secured Parties, in any property or so that the security interests therein comply with applicable law or this Agreement or in each case to otherwise enhance the rights or benefits of any Lender under any Loan Document and (y) any First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and/or Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement with the holders of Permitted Debt Securities (or any amendment or supplement thereto with respect to additional Permitted Debt Securities).

(c) In addition, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement may be amended after the Effective Date without consent of the Lenders, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, as follows:

(i) to designate (X) any Domestic Subsidiary of the Parent Entity that is a Restricted Subsidiary as a Domestic Subsidiary Borrower or (Y) the Parent Entity or any Subsidiary of the Parent Entity that is a Restricted Subsidiary, in each case, that is organized under the laws of a Permitted Foreign Borrower Jurisdiction as a Foreign Borrower, upon (A) ten Business Days (or such lesser period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior notice to the Administrative Agent (such notice to contain the name, primary business address and taxpayer identification number (or equivalent), if any, of such Subsidiary), (B) the execution and delivery by the Parent Entity or such Subsidiary, the Borrower Agent and the Administrative Agent of a Joinder Agreement, substantially in the form of Exhibit J (each, a “Joinder Agreement”), providing for the Parent Entity or such Subsidiary to become a Domestic Subsidiary Borrower or Foreign Borrower, as applicable, (C) the agreement and acknowledgement by the Parent Entity and each other Guarantor that the Guaranty covers the Obligations of such additional Borrower, (D) the delivery to the Administrative Agent of corporate or other applicable resolutions, other corporate or other applicable documents, certificates and legal opinions in respect of such Parent Entity or Subsidiary reasonably equivalent to comparable documents delivered on the Effective Date and the Closing Date and (E) the delivery to the Administrative Agent of Beneficial Ownership Certification, to the extent applicable, and any documentation or other information reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent and necessary to satisfy obligations of the Lenders described in Section 9.13 or any applicable “know your customer” or other anti-money laundering Laws; and

(ii) to remove the Parent Entity or any Subsidiary (other than the U.S. Parent Borrower) as a Borrower upon (A) execution and delivery by the Parent Entity and the Borrower Agent to the Administrative Agent of a written notification to such effect, (B) repayment in full of all Loans made to such Borrower, (C) repayment in full of all other amounts owing by such Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (D) the deposit in a cash collateral account opened by the Administrative Agent of an amount equal to the aggregate then undrawn and unexpired amount of all Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower (calculated, in the case of Letters of Credit denominated in Alternative Currencies, at the Dollar Equivalent thereof on the date of removal) (it being agreed that any such repayment shall be in accordance with the other terms of this Agreement).

SECTION 9.03. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

(a) The Borrowers shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and their Affiliates, limited, in the case of legal expenses, to the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of a single counsel for the Arrangers and the Administrative Agent (and, if necessary, one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction and regulatory counsel), in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the relevant Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, limited, in the case of legal expenses, to the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of a single counsel (and, if necessary, one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction and regulatory counsel), in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 9.03(a) shall not apply to Taxes, except any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages or liabilities arising from any non-Tax claim.

(b) The Borrowers shall indemnify, on a joint and several basis, each Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related reasonable and documented out‑of‑pocket expenses, limited, in the case of legal expenses, to the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of a single counsel for the Indemnitees (and, if necessary, one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction and one additional counsel for each Indemnitee in the event of conflicts of interest), incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby and the syndication of the Revolving Commitments and Term Loans by the Arrangers, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by any Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) to the extent relating to or arising from any of the foregoing, any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Parent Entity or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Parent Entity or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (i) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its officers, directors, employees, Affiliates or controlling Persons or (ii) except in the case of any Agent (in its capacity as such), arise from disputes solely among Indemnitees and do not involve any conduct by the Borrowers or any of their respective Affiliates. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 9.03(b) shall not apply to Taxes, except any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages or liabilities arising from any non-Tax claim.

(c) To the extent that a Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent, an Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, the relevant Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender in its capacity as such.

(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no party hereto shall assert, and each other party hereby waives, any claim against any party, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that this sentence shall not limit the Borrowers’ indemnification obligations set forth above to the extent the relevant special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages are included in any third party claim in connection with which the relevant Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder. No Indemnitee referred to in paragraph (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby except to the extent resulting from its or its Related Parties’ gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

(e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than fifteen (15) days after written demand therefor; provided, however, that an Indemnitee shall promptly refund any amount received under this Section 9.03 to the extent that there is a final judicial or arbitral determination that such Indemnitee was not entitled to indemnification rights with respect to such payment pursuant to the express terms of this Section 9.03.

SECTION 9.04. Successors and Assigns.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) except as expressly permitted hereunder, no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by a Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(%5) to the extent required by the definition of “Eligible Assignee,” the Administrative Agent; and

(%5) to the extent required by the definition of “Eligible Assignee,” the Issuing Banks and Swingline Lender; provided that no consent of any Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender shall be required for an assignment of all or any portion of a Term Loan.

(%5) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, provided that this clause shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of one Class of Commitments or Loans;

(%5) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500;

(%5) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire and

(E) subject to Section 2.10(c), the assignee shall not be (i) a Borrower or any of the Borrowers’ Affiliates or Subsidiaries, (ii) a Defaulting Lender or (iii) a natural person.

(%4) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.

(%4) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of each Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount (and related interest amounts) of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by any Borrower, any Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(%4) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in clause (ii)(C) of this Section 9.04(b) and any written consent to such assignment required by this paragraph (b), the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(c), 2.05(d) or (e), 2.06(b), 2.17(d) or 9.03(c), the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(c) (%4) Any Lender may, without the consent of or notice to the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or the Swingline Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities that would meet the requirements of an “Eligible Assignee” (other than with respect to any required consents and other than any person that, at the time of such participation, is (I) a Defaulting Lender or (II) the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries or any of their respective Affiliates (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that directly affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(iii) of this Section, the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16 (subject to the requirements and limitations of such Sections (it being agreed that any documentation required to be provided pursuant to Section 2.16(e) shall be provided solely to the participating Lender) and Section 2.18) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.16(c) as though it were a Lender.

(%4) Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of each 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”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans or its other obligations under this Agreement) except to the extent that the relevant parties, acting reasonably and in good faith, determine that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. Unless otherwise required by the IRS, any disclosure required by the foregoing sentence shall be made by the relevant Lender directly and solely to the IRS. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and each Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of the participation in question for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(%4) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, except to the extent that (i) such entitlement to a greater payment results from a change in any Law after the sale of the participation takes place and (ii) the participating Lender notifies the Borrower Agent of such participation no later than one hundred twenty (120) days after such Change in Law becomes effective.

(%4) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or a central bank having jurisdiction over it, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(%4) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Lender will assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement, or sell participations in its rights and/or obligations under this Agreement, to any Person who is (i) listed on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List maintained by the U.S. Department of Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) and/or on any other similar list maintained by OFAC pursuant to any authorizing statute, executive order or regulation or (ii) either (A) included within the term “designated national” as defined in the Cuban Assets Control Regulations, 31 C.F.R. Part 515 or (B) designated under Sections 1(a), 1(b), 1(c) or 1(d) of Executive Order No. 13224, 66 Fed. Reg. 49079 (published September 25, 2001) or similarly designated under any related enabling legislation or any other similar executive orders.

SECTION 9.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any provision hereof or thereof.

SECTION 9.06. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Effect of Restatement. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or pdf shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.07. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 9.08. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final and in whatever currency denominated) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower against any of and all the Obligations of such Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured; provided that, in the case of any deposits or other obligations for the credit or the account of any Foreign Subsidiary, such setoff may only be against any Obligations of Foreign Subsidiaries. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have. Each Lender and its Affiliates agrees to notify the Borrower Agent and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

SECTION 9.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.

(a) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York (without regard to the conflict of law principles thereof to the extent that the application of the laws of another jurisdiction would be required thereby).

Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. The foregoing shall not affect any right that any party hereto may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against any other party or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(c) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01.

Such service may be made by mailing (by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid) of copies of such process to the U.S. Parent Borrower at the U.S. Parent Borrower’s address specified in Section 9.01 or at such other address as the U.S. Parent Borrower may specify pursuant to Section 9.01.

SECTION 9.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

SECTION 9.11. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

SECTION 9.12. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, partners, members, employees, managers, administrators, trustees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors solely for the purpose of, or otherwise directly in connection with this Agreement (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential pursuant to the terms hereof), (b) to the extent requested or required by any Governmental Authority or by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any representative thereof, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process (provided, however, that, to the extent practicable and permitted by law, the Borrower Agent has been notified prior to such disclosure so that the Borrower Agent may seek, at the Borrower Agent’s sole expense, a protective order or other appropriate remedy), (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder (provided, however, to the extent practicable and permitted by law, the Borrower Agent is notified prior to such disclosure so that the Borrower Agent may seek, at the Borrower Agent’s sole expense, a protective order or other appropriate remedy), (f) subject to an agreement for the benefit of the Borrowers containing provisions at least as restrictive as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee or any prospective assignee of any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement (and to any Participant or prospective Participant in any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement) so long as such Lender believes such assignee, Participant or prospective assignee or Participant is, or will be, an Eligible Assignee or (ii) any direct or indirect actual or prospective party (or its managers, administrators, trustees, partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives) to any swap or derivative, credit insurance or similar transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the Borrowers and their obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder, (g) with the consent of the Borrower Agent or (h) to any ratings agency or the CUSIP Bureau or any similar organization or to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or, to the knowledge of such disclosing person, as a result of a breach of a confidentiality agreement with any other Person or (ii) that is or becomes available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Parent Entity or any Borrower not in violation of any obligation of confidentiality. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Parent Entity or any Borrower relating to the Parent Entity and its Subsidiaries and their respective businesses, other than any such information that is publicly available (other than as a result of a breach of this Section) to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender prior to disclosure by the Parent Entity or such Borrower.

EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING THE BORROWERS, THE OTHER LOAN PARTIES AND THEIR AFFILIATES AND RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES, AND CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS DEVELOPED CUSTOMARY PROCEDURES REGARDING THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION INTENDED TO COMPLY WITH APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND THAT IT WILL HANDLE SUCH MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH CUSTOMARY PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS. NOTHING IN THE FOREGOING SHALL PREVENT ANY LENDER FROM DISCLOSING INFORMATION TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY THE IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING PARAGRAPH.

SECTION 9.13. USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”) and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation hereby notifies each Loan Party that pursuant to the requirements of the Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies such Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of such Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation.

SECTION 9.14. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable Law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable Law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 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 Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

SECTION 9.15. No Fiduciary Duty. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated by this Agreement, each Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges the other Loan Parties’ understanding, that (i) each transaction contemplated by this Agreement is an arm’s-length commercial transaction, between the Loan Parties, on the one hand, and the Agents and the Lenders, on the other hand, (ii) in connection with each such transaction and the process leading thereto, the Agents and the Lenders will act solely as principals and not as agents or fiduciaries of the Loan Parties or any of their stockholders, affiliates, creditors, employees or any other party, (iii) neither any Agent nor any Lender will assume an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Borrower or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether the Agents or any Lender has advised or is currently advising any Loan Party on other matters) and neither any Agent nor any Lender will have any obligation to any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated in this Agreement except the obligations expressly set forth herein, (iv) each Agent and each Lender may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Loan Parties and their affiliates, and (v) neither any Agent nor any Lender has provided or will provide any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby and the Loan Parties have consulted and will consult their own legal, accounting, regulatory, and tax advisors to the extent it deems appropriate. The matters set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents reflect an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Loan Parties, on the one hand, and the Agents and the Lenders, on the other hand. The Borrowers agree that the Loan Parties shall not assert any claims against any Agent or any Lender based on any breach or alleged breach of fiduciary duty.

SECTION 9.16. Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Swap Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.
