(a)          any condition to such Limited Condition Transaction and/or such Indebtedness that requires that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such Limited Condition Transaction and/or the incurrence of such Indebtedness, shall be satisfied if (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of the execution of the purchase agreement, merger agreement, acquisition agreement or other definitive agreement governing such Limited Condition Transaction (the “LCT Test Date”) and (ii) no Event of Default under any of Section 8.1(a), 8.1(b), 8.1(h) or 8.1(i) shall have occurred and be continuing both immediately before and immediately after giving effect to such Limited Condition Transaction and any Indebtedness incurred in connection therewith (including any such additional Indebtedness);
 
55

(b)          any condition to such Limited Condition Transaction and/or such Indebtedness that the representations and warranties in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct at the time of consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction and/or the incurrence of such Indebtedness shall be deemed satisfied if (i) all representations and warranties in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects (except for any representation and warranty that is qualified by materiality or reference to Material Adverse Effect, which such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) as of the LCT Test Date, or if such representation speaks as of an earlier date, as of such earlier date and (ii) as of the date of consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, (A) the representations and warranties under the relevant definitive agreement governing such Limited Condition Transaction as are material to the lenders providing such Indebtedness shall be true and correct, but only to the extent that Holdings or its applicable Subsidiary has the right to terminate its obligations under such agreement or otherwise decline to close such Limited Condition Transaction as a result of a breach of such representations and warranties or the failure of those representations and warranties to be true and correct and (B) certain of the representations and warranties in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents which are customary for similar “funds certain” financings and required by the lenders providing such Indebtedness shall be true and correct in all material respects (except for any representation and warranty that is qualified by materiality or reference to Material Adverse Effect, which such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all respects);
 
(c)          any financial ratio test or condition to be tested in connection with such Limited Condition Transaction and the availability of such Indebtedness will be tested as of the LCT Test Date, in each case, after giving effect to the relevant Limited Condition Transaction and related incurrence of Indebtedness, on a Pro Forma Basis where applicable, and, for the avoidance of doubt, (i) such ratios and baskets shall not be tested at the time of consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction and (ii) if any of such ratios are exceeded or conditions are not met following the LCT Test Date, but prior to the closing of such Limited Condition Transaction, as a result of fluctuations in such ratio or amount (including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA of Holdings and its Subsidiaries or the Person subject to such Limited Condition Transaction), at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded and such conditions will not be deemed unmet as a result of such fluctuations solely for purposes of determining whether the relevant transaction or action is permitted to be consummated or taken; and
 
(d)          except as provided in the next sentence, in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio or basket on or following the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated and the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such ratio or basket shall be calculated (i) on a Pro Forma Basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including the incurrence or assumption of Indebtedness) have been consummated and (ii) assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including the incurrence or assumption of Indebtedness) have not been consummated.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any calculation of a ratio in connection with determining the Applicable ECF Percentage and determining whether or not Holdings and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with the financial covenant set forth in Section 7.14 shall, in each case be calculated assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including the incurrence or assumption of Indebtedness) have not been consummated.
 
56

The foregoing provisions shall apply with similar effect during the pendency of multiple Limited Condition Transactions such that each of the possible scenarios is separately tested.
 
SECTION 1.11     Rates; LIBOR Notification.  The interest rate on LIBOR Rate Loans and Base Rate Loans (when determined by reference to clause (c) of the definition of Base Rate) is determined by reference to LIBOR, which is derived from the London interbank offered rate.  The London interbank offered rate is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market.  In July 2017, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority announced that, after the end of 2021, it would no longer persuade or compel contributing banks to make rate submissions to the ICE Benchmark Administration (together with any successor to the ICE Benchmark Administrator, the “IBA”) for purposes of the IBA setting the London interbank offered rate. As a result, it is possible that commencing in 2022, the London interbank offered rate may no longer be available or may no longer be deemed an appropriate reference rate upon which to determine the interest rate on LIBOR Rate Loans or Base Rate Loans (when determined by reference to clause (c) of the definition of Base Rate). In light of this eventuality, public and private sector industry initiatives have been and continue, as of the date hereof, to be underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of the London interbank offered rate.  In the event that the London interbank offered rate or any other then-current Benchmark is no longer available or in certain other circumstances set forth in Section 3.8(c), such Section 3.8(c) provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower in advance, pursuant to Section 3.8(c), of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on LIBOR Rate Loans and Base Rate Loans (when determined by reference to clause (c) of the definition of Base Rate) is based.  However, the Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, (i) the administration of, submission of, calculation of or any other matter related to the London interbank offered rate or other rates in the definition of “LIBOR” or with respect to any alternative, comparable or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof (including any then-current Benchmark or any Benchmark Replacement), including whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate (including any Benchmark Replacement), as it may or may not be adjusted pursuant to Section 3.8(c), will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, LIBOR or any other Benchmark, or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank offered rate or any other Benchmark prior to its discontinuance or unavailability, or (ii) the effect, implementation or composition of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes.
 
SECTION 1.12      Divisions.  For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person, and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Equity Interests at such time.
 
SECTION 1.13      Banking Code of Practice (Australia).  The parties hereto agree that the Australian Banking Association Banking Code of Practice does not apply to the Loan Documents nor the transactions under them.

SECTION 2.2        Procedure for Advance of Term Loan.
 
(a)          Initial Term Loan.  The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent an irrevocable prior written notice substantially in the form of Exhibit B (a “Notice of Borrowing”) prior to 11:00 a.m. on the Closing Date requesting that the Lenders make the Initial Term Loan as a Base Rate Loan on such date (provided that the Borrower may request, no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, that the Lenders make the Initial Term Loan as a LIBOR Rate Loan if the Borrower has delivered to the Administrative Agent a letter in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent indemnifying the Lenders in the manner set forth in Section 3.9 of this Agreement).  Upon receipt of such Notice of Borrowing from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof.  Not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Closing Date, each Lender will make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in immediately available funds, the amount of such Initial Term Loan to be made by such Lender on the Closing Date.  The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to disburse the proceeds of the Initial Term Loan in immediately available funds by wire transfer to such Person or Persons as may be designated by the Borrower in writing.

SECTION 2.4        Prepayments of Term Loans.
 
(a)          Optional Prepayments.  The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time, without premium (other than as specified in clause (c) below) or penalty, to prepay the Term Loans, in whole or in part, upon delivery of prior written notice to the Administrative Agent substantially in the form attached as Exhibit C (a “Notice of Prepayment”) not later than 11:00 a.m. (i) on the same Business Day as each Base Rate Loan and (ii) at least three (3) Business Days before each LIBOR Rate Loan, specifying the date and amount of repayment, whether the repayment is of LIBOR Rate Loans or Base Rate Loans or a combination thereof, and if a combination thereof, the amount allocable to each and the applicable Class of Term Loans being prepaid, and if a combination thereof, the amount allocable to each.  Each optional prepayment of the Term Loans hereunder shall be in an aggregate principal amount of at least $5,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the remaining outstanding principal amount thereof).  Each such prepayment of Initial Term Loans shall be applied to reduce the scheduled principal amortizations payments under Section 2.3(a) as directed by the Borrower, and in the absence of such direction, in direct order of maturity of such payments.  Each repayment shall be accompanied by any amount required to be paid pursuant to Section 3.9 hereof.  A Notice of Prepayment received after 11:00 a.m. shall be deemed received on the next Business Day.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Lenders of each Notice of Prepayment.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Notice of Prepayment delivered in connection with any refinancing of all of the Credit Facility with the proceeds of such refinancing or of any other incurrence of Indebtedness or the occurrence of some other identifiable event or condition, may be, if expressly so stated to be, contingent upon the consummation of such refinancing or incurrence or occurrence of such other identifiable event or condition and may be revoked by the Borrower in the event such contingency is not met; provided that the delay or failure of such contingency shall not relieve the Borrower from its obligations in respect thereof under Section 3.9.
 
(b)          Mandatory Prepayments.
 
(i)            Debt Issuances.  The Borrower shall make mandatory principal prepayments of the Term Loans and, to the extent required, any Other Applicable Pari Passu Indebtedness in the manner set forth in clause (viii) below in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds from any Debt Issuance of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness (other than in connection with a Refinancing of Refinancing Equivalent Indebtedness) and any other Debt Issuance not otherwise permitted pursuant to Section 7.1.  Such prepayment shall be made within three (3) Business Days after the date of receipt of the Net Cash Proceeds of any such Debt Issuance.
 
59

(iii)          Reinvestment Option.  With respect to any Net Cash Proceeds realized or received with respect to any Asset Disposition (other than any Asset Disposition of all or any material portion of the assets comprising the Borrower’s “Software as a Service” business described in clause (ii)(C) of this Section 2.4(b)) or any Insurance and Condemnation Event by any Credit Party of any Subsidiary thereof, at the option of the Borrower, the Credit Parties may reinvest all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds in long-term assets (including in the form of Capital Expenditures, Acquisitions and Investments (other than Investments in cash or Cash Equivalents) permitted by this Agreement) used or useful for the business of the Credit Parties and their Subsidiaries within (x) twelve (12) months following receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds or (y) if such Credit Party enters into a bona fide commitment to reinvest such Net Cash Proceeds within twelve (12) months following receipt thereof, within the later of (A) twelve (12) months following receipt thereof and (B) six (6) months of the date of such commitment; provided that if any Net Cash Proceeds are no longer intended to be or cannot be so reinvested at any time after delivery of a notice of reinvestment election, an amount equal to any such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied within three (3) Business Days after the applicable Credit Party reasonably determines that such Net Cash Proceeds are no longer intended to be or cannot be so reinvested to the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in this Section 2.4(b); provided further that any Net Cash Proceeds relating to Term Loan Priority Collateral shall be reinvested in assets constituting Term Loan Priority Collateral.  Pending the final application of any such Net Cash Proceeds, the applicable Credit Party may invest an amount equal to such Net Cash Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Agreement.

(v)           Foreign Dispositions and Excess Cash Flow.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.4(b), (A) to the extent that any of or all the Net Cash Proceeds of any Asset Disposition by a Foreign Subsidiary (“Foreign Disposition”) or Excess Cash Flow attributable to Foreign Subsidiaries (“Foreign Excess Cash Flow”) are prohibited or delayed by applicable local law from being repatriated to the United States or the Borrower believes in good faith that the repatriation to the United States would conflict with the fiduciary and/or statutory duties of such Foreign Subsidiary’s directors (or equivalent managers) or could reasonably be expected to result in a material risk of personal or criminal liability for any such officer, director, employee, manager or member of management of such Foreign Subsidiary, the portion of such Net Cash Proceeds or Foreign Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans at the times provided in this Section 2.4 but may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long, but only so long, as the applicable local law will not permit repatriation to the United States and/or repatriation would conflict with the applicable fiduciary and/or statutory duties (it being agreed that, solely within 365 days following the end of the applicable Excess Cash Flow period or the event giving rise to the relevant Net Cash Proceeds, the Borrower shall take all commercially reasonable actions required by Applicable Law to permit such repatriation (it being understood that if the repatriation of the relevant Foreign Excess Cash Flow or Net Cash Proceeds, as the case may be, is permitted under the Applicable Law and, to the extent applicable, would no longer conflict with the fiduciary and/or statutory duties of such director, or result in, or be reasonably expected to result in, a material risk of personal or criminal liability for the Persons described above, then in either case, within 365 days following the end of the applicable Excess Cash Flow period or the event giving rise to the relevant Net Cash Proceeds, the Borrower hereby agrees to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to promptly take all actions required by the Applicable Law or applicable fiduciary and/or statutory duties to permit such repatriation and such repatriation will be effected as promptly as practicable and such repatriated Net Cash Proceeds or Foreign Excess Cash Flow will be promptly (and in any event not later than two (2) Business Days after such repatriation) applied (net of additional Taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.4(b)) and (B) to the extent that the Borrower has determined in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net Cash Proceeds of any Foreign Disposition or any Foreign Excess Cash Flow would have adverse tax cost consequences with respect to such Net Cash Proceeds or Foreign Excess Cash Flow (including, without limitation, creating a tax obligation or requiring the use of net operating losses or similar tax credits to reduce such tax obligation), such Net Cash Proceeds or Foreign Excess Cash Flow so affected may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary; provided that, in the case of this clause (B), on or before the date on which any such Net Cash Proceeds so retained would otherwise have been required to be applied to reinvestments or prepayments pursuant to Section 2.4(b)(ii) or any such Foreign Excess Cash Flow would have been required to be applied to prepayments pursuant to Section 2.4(b)(iv), the Borrower may, at its option, apply an amount equal to such Net Cash Proceeds or Foreign Excess Cash Flow to such reinvestments or prepayments, as applicable, as if such Net Cash Proceeds or Foreign Excess Cash Flow had been received by the Borrower rather than such Foreign Subsidiary, less the amount of additional taxes that would have been payable or reserved against (or, if applicable, the net operating losses that would have been applied) if such Net Cash Proceeds or Foreign Excess Cash Flow had been repatriated (or, if less, the Net Cash Proceeds or Foreign Excess Cash Flow that would be calculated if received by such Foreign Subsidiary).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this clause (v), if any such Foreign Excess Cash Flow or Net Cash Proceeds of any Foreign Disposition are applied to the repayment or repurchase of any other Other Applicable Pari Passu Indebtedness, any such amounts that are declined shall be applied to the prepayment of the Initial Term Loans in accordance with clause (viii) below.
 
61

(vi)           Rejection Right.  Holdings shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any mandatory prepayment of the Term Loans required to be made pursuant to clauses (i) through (iv) of this Section 2.4(b) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the required date of such prepayment.  Each such notice shall specify the date of such prepayment and provide a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount to be prepaid in connection with such prepayment.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender holding Term Loans entitled to such prepayment of the contents of such prepayment notice and of such Lender’s pro rata share of such prepayment.  Each Lender may, by written notice (each a “Notice of Prepayment Rejection”) received by the Administrative Agent no later than 3:00 p.m. (Eastern) one (1) Business Day prior to the date of such prepayment, reject all or a portion, of its pro rata share of such prepayment (other than a prepayment as a result of the events described in Section 2.4(b)(i)).  If a Lender fails to deliver a Notice of Prepayment Rejection within the time frame specified above, any such failure will be deemed to be an acceptance of the total amount of such Lender’s pro rata share of such prepayment.  Any amounts rejected by a Lender pursuant to a Notice of Prepayment Rejection received within the time frame specified above (such amounts, the “Declined Proceeds”) shall (x) to the extent required thereby, be offered to the holders of any Indebtedness secured by a Lien on the Collateral that ranks junior to the Liens securing the Secured Obligations on a pro rata basis amongst the holders of such Indebtedness (based on the outstanding principal amount thereof) and (y) after giving effect to clause (x) of this Section 2.4(b)(vi) be retained by Holdings and its Subsidiaries.
 
(vii)         Sunshine Acquisition.   In the event that the Sunshine Acquisition Effective Date does not occur on or prior to 1:00 p.m. on the Sunshine Acquisition Outside Date, the Borrower shall no later than 2:00 p.m. on the Sunshine Acquisition Outside Date make a mandatory principal prepayment of the Initial Term Loans in an amount equal to the Sunshine Reserve Amount, which the Borrower authorizes the Administrative Agent to pay from amounts on deposit in the Sunshine Reserve Account.
 
(viii)         Notice; Manner of Payment.
 
(A)          Upon the occurrence of any event triggering the prepayment requirement under clauses (i) through and including (vi) above, the Borrower shall promptly (and in any event no later than the date the applicable prepayment is due under clauses (i) through (vi)) deliver notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Lenders.  Each prepayment of the Term Loans under clauses (i) through and including (vi) of this Section shall be applied ratably between the Initial Term Loans and any Other Applicable Pari Passu Indebtedness (in accordance with the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Term Loans and such Other Applicable Pari Passu Indebtedness at the time of such prepayment) (unless the applicable lenders providing such Other Applicable Pari Passu Indebtedness agree to a lesser share of such prepayment) to (x) reduce the remaining scheduled principal installments of the Initial Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.3, as directed by the Borrower (or in the absence of such direction, in direct order of maturity to the next eight (8) scheduled principal installments and thereafter on a pro rata basis to the remaining scheduled principal installments (including the installment payment on the Term Loan Maturity Date)) and (y) reduce the remaining scheduled principal installments of any other Class of Term Loans, such Incremental Equivalent Indebtedness or Refinancing Equivalent Indebtedness (in each case, as determined by Holdings and the applicable lenders providing such Indebtedness); provided that the portion of such prepayment amount allocated to the Other Applicable Pari Passu Indebtedness shall not exceed the amount required to be allocated to such Other Applicable Pari Passu Indebtedness pursuant to the requirements of the definitive documentation for such Other Applicable Pari Passu Indebtedness; provided further that to the extent the lenders or holders of such Other Applicable Pari Passu Indebtedness decline such prepayment or do not accept the applicable offer to repurchase, the declined amount shall be promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days of such rejection) applied to prepay the Initial Term Loans and any Other Applicable Pari Passu Indebtedness in accordance with the terms of this clause (viii).  Proceeds of any Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness referred to clause (i) above shall be applied solely to prepay each applicable Class(es) of Term Loans so refinanced.
 
62

(B)          Any prepayment of the Initial Term Loans under clause (vii) of this Section shall be applied solely to reduce the remaining scheduled principal installments of the Initial Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.3 (including the installment payment on the Term Loan Maturity Date) on a pro rata basis.
 
(ix)           Prepayment of LIBOR Rate Loans.  Each prepayment shall be accompanied by any amount required to be paid pursuant to Section 3.9; provided that, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if any prepayment of LIBOR Rate Loans is required to be made under this Section 2.4(b) prior to the last day of the Interest Period therefor, in lieu of making any payment pursuant to this Section 2.4(b) in respect of any such LIBOR Rate Loan prior to the last day of the Interest Period therefor, the Borrower may, in its sole discretion, deposit an amount sufficient to make any such prepayment otherwise required to be made thereunder together with accrued interest to the last day of such Interest Period into an account held at, and subject to the sole control of, the Administrative Agent until the last day of such Interest Period, at which time the Administrative Agent shall be authorized (without any further action by or notice to or from the Borrower or any other Credit Party) to apply such amount to the prepayment of such Term Loans in accordance with this Section 2.4(b).  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall also be authorized (without any further action by or notice to or from the Borrower or any other Credit Party) to apply such amount to the prepayment of the outstanding Term Loans in accordance with the relevant provisions of this Section 2.4(b).
 
(x)             No Reborrowings.  Amounts prepaid under the Term Loan pursuant to this Section may not be reborrowed.
 
(c)          Call Premium.  In the event that, on or prior to the twenty four (24) month anniversary of the Closing Date, the Borrower (i) makes any prepayment of the Initial Term Loans in connection with any Repricing Transaction (as defined below) or (ii) effects any amendment of this Agreement resulting in a Repricing Transaction, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each applicable Lender, a fee in an amount equal to:
 
(x) in the case of clause (i), a prepayment premium of (A) in the case of any such prepayment occurring on or prior to the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Closing Date, 2.0% of the amount of the Initial Term Loan being prepaid and (B) in the case of any such prepayment occurring after the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Closing Date, but on or prior to the twenty four (24) month anniversary of the Closing Date, 1.0% of the amount of the Initial Term Loans being prepaid; and
 
63

(y) in the case of clause (ii), a payment equal to (A) in the case of any such amendment occurring on or prior to the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Closing Date, 2.0% of the aggregate amount of the applicable Initial Term Loans outstanding immediately prior to such amendment and (B) in the case of any such amendment occurring after the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Closing Date, but on or prior to the twenty four (24) month anniversary of the Closing Date, 1.0% of the aggregate amount of the applicable Initial Term Loans outstanding immediately prior to such amendment.
 
Such fees shall be due and payable within three (3) Business Days of the date of the effectiveness of such Repricing Transaction.
 
For the purpose of this clause (c), “Repricing Transaction” means (a) any prepayment or repayment of the Initial Term Loans with the proceeds of, or any conversion of the Initial Term Loans into, any new or replacement Indebtedness that (i) is secured by any Lien on any assets of Holdings and its Subsidiaries that is not expressly subordinated or junior in priority to the Liens on such assets securing the Secured Obligations (other than ABL Obligations or other revolving Indebtedness) and (ii) bears interest with an All-In Yield less than the All-In Yield applicable to the Initial Term Loans and (b) any amendment to the pricing terms of the Initial Term Loans which reduces the “effective yield” applicable to the Initial Term Loans.
 
ARTICLE III

GENERAL LOAN PROVISIONS
 
SECTION 3.1        Interest.
 
(a)          Interest Rate Options.  Subject to the provisions of this Section, at the election of the Borrower, the Term Loans (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any outstanding principal amount in the Sunshine Reserve Account, until, if applicable, the prepayment of the Sunshine Reserve Amount pursuant to Section 2.4(b)(vii)) shall bear interest at (A) the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin or (B) the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin (provided that the LIBOR Rate shall not be available until three (3) Business Days after the Closing Date unless the Borrower has delivered to the Administrative Agent a letter in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent indemnifying the Lenders in the manner set forth in Section 3.9 of this Agreement).  The Borrower shall select the rate of interest and Interest Period, if any, applicable to any Term Loan at the time a Notice of Borrowing is given or at the time a Notice of Conversion/Continuation is given pursuant to Section 3.2.
 
(b)         Default Rate.  Subject to Section 10.3, if any principal of or interest on any Term Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the 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 Term Loan, 2.00% per annum plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Term Loan as provided in the preceding paragraph of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other overdue amount, 2.00% per annum plus the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section.  All accrued and unpaid interest under this Section 3.1(b) shall be due and payable on demand of the Administrative Agent. Interest shall continue to accrue on the Obligations after the filing by or against the Borrower of any petition seeking any relief in bankruptcy or under any Debtor Relief Law.
 
64

(c)          Interest Payment and Computation.  Interest on each Base Rate Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter commencing June 30, 2021; and interest on each LIBOR Rate Loan shall be due and payable on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto, and if such Interest Period extends over three (3) months, at the end of each three (3) month interval during such Interest Period.  All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by the Prime Rate shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed.  All other computations of fees and interest provided hereunder shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365/366-day year).
 
(d)          Maximum Rate.  In no contingency or event whatsoever shall the aggregate of all amounts deemed interest under this Agreement charged or collected pursuant to the terms of this Agreement exceed the highest rate permissible under any Applicable Law which a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable hereto.  In the event that such a court determines that the Lenders have charged or received interest hereunder in excess of the highest applicable rate, the rate in effect hereunder shall automatically be reduced to the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law and the Lenders shall at the Administrative Agent’s option (i) promptly refund to the Borrower any interest received by the Lenders in excess of the maximum lawful rate or (ii) apply such excess to the principal balance of the Obligations.  It is the intent hereof that the Borrower not pay or contract to pay, and that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender receive or contract to receive, directly or indirectly in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be paid by the Borrower under Applicable Law.
 
SECTION 3.2       Notice and Manner of Conversion or Continuation of Term Loans.  Provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, the Borrower shall have the option to (a) convert at any time following the third Business Day after the Closing Date (unless the Borrower has delivered to the Administrative Agent a letter in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent indemnifying the Lenders in the manner set forth in Section 3.9 of this Agreement) all or any portion of any outstanding Base Rate Loans in a principal amount equal to $2,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or such lesser amount as shall represent all of the Base Rate Loans then outstanding) into one or more LIBOR Rate Loans and (b) upon the expiration of any Interest Period, (i) convert all or any part of its outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans in a principal amount equal to $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof (or such lesser amount as shall represent all of the LIBOR Rate Loans then outstanding) into Base Rate Loans or (ii) continue such LIBOR Rate Loans as LIBOR Rate Loans.  Whenever the Borrower desires to convert or continue Term Loans as provided above, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable prior written notice in the form attached as Exhibit D (a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”) not later than 11:00 a.m. three (3) Business Days before the day on which a proposed conversion or continuation of such Term Loan is to be effective specifying (A) the Term Loans to be converted or continued, and, in the case of any LIBOR Rate Loan to be converted or continued, the last day of the Interest Period therefor, (B) the effective date of such conversion or continuation (which shall be a Business Day), (C) the principal amount of such Term Loans to be converted or continued, and (D) the Interest Period to be applicable to such converted or continued LIBOR Rate Loan.  If the Borrower fails to give a timely Notice of Conversion/Continuation prior to the end of the Interest Period for any LIBOR Rate Loan, then the applicable LIBOR Rate Loan shall be converted to a Base Rate Loan.  Any such automatic conversion to a Base Rate Loan shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable LIBOR Rate Loan.  If the Borrower requests a conversion to, or continuation of, LIBOR Rate Loans, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the affected Lenders of such Notice of Conversion/Continuation.
 
SECTION 3.3       Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Arranger and the Administrative Agent for their own respective accounts fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the Engagement Letter.  The Borrower shall pay to the Lenders such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified.
 
65

SECTION 3.4       Manner of Payment.  Each payment by the Borrower on account of the principal of or interest on the Term Loans or of any fee, commission or other amounts payable to the Lenders under this Agreement shall be made not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date specified for payment under this Agreement to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office for the account of the Lenders entitled to such payment in Dollars, in immediately available funds and shall be made without any setoff, counterclaim or deduction whatsoever.  Any payment received after such time but before 2:00 p.m. on such day shall be deemed a payment on such date for the purposes of Section 8.1, but for all other purposes shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day.  Any payment received after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day for all purposes.  Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of each such payment, the Administrative Agent shall distribute to each such Lender at its address for notices set forth herein its Term Loan Percentage in respect of the relevant Credit Facility (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment and shall wire advice of the amount of such credit to each Lender.  Each payment to the Administrative Agent of Administrative Agent’s fees or expenses shall be made for the account of the Administrative Agent and any amount payable to any Lender under Sections 3.9, 3.10, 3.11 or 10.3 shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lender.  Subject to the definition of Interest Period, if any payment under this Agreement shall be specified to be made upon a day which is not a Business Day, it shall be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day and such extension of time shall in such case be included in computing any interest if payable along with such payment.
 
SECTION 3.5        Evidence of Indebtedness.  The Term Loan made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business.  The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Term Loan made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon.  Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations.  In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and/or the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters and the Register, the Register shall control in the absence of manifest error.  Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Term Loan Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Term Loans, in addition to such accounts or records.  Each Lender may attach schedules to its Term Loan Note and endorse thereon the date, amount and maturity of its Term Loans and payments with respect thereto.
 
SECTION 3.6       Sharing of Payments by Lenders.  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 Term Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Term Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations (other than pursuant to Sections 3.9, 3.10, 3.11 or 10.3) greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Term Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, 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 Term Loans and other amounts owing them; provided that:
 
66

(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 (A) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender or a Disqualified Institution) or (B) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of, or sale of, a participation in any of its Term Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (other than pursuant to Section 10.9 (g) or (h)), as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply.
 
Each Credit Party 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 each Credit Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of each Credit Party in the amount of such participation.
 
SECTION 3.7        Administrative Agent’s Clawback.
 
(a)         Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent.  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender (i) in the case of Base Rate Loans, not later than 12:00 noon on the date of any proposed borrowing and (ii) otherwise, 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 Section 2.2 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the 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 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 Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the daily average Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans.  If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period.  If such Lender pays its share of the applicable borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Term Loan included in such borrowing.  Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.
 
(b)          Payments by the Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent.  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due.  In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender 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 Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
 
67

(c)          Nature of Obligations of Lenders.  The obligations of the Lenders under this Agreement to make the Term Loans and to make payments under this Section, Section 3.11(e), Section 10.3(c) and Section 10.7, as applicable, are several and are not joint or joint and several.  The failure of any Lender to make available its Term Loan Percentage of any Term Loan requested by the Borrower shall not relieve it or any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Term Loan Percentage of such Term Loan available on the borrowing date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make its Term Loan Percentage of such Term Loan available on the borrowing date.
 
SECTION 3.8        Changed Circumstances.
 
(a)         Circumstances Affecting LIBOR Rate Availability.  Subject to clause (c) below, in connection with any request for a LIBOR Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof or otherwise, if for any reason (i) the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Term Loan, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that reasonable and adequate means do not exist for the ascertaining the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Rate Loan or (iii) the Required Lenders shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the LIBOR Rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining such Term Loans during such Interest Period, then the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrower.  Thereafter, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that such circumstances no longer exist, the obligation of the Lenders to make LIBOR Rate Loans and the right of the Borrower to convert any Term Loan to or continue any Term Loan as a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be suspended, and the Borrower shall either (A) repay in full (or cause to be repaid in full) the then outstanding principal amount of each such LIBOR Rate Loan together with accrued interest thereon (subject to Section 3.1(d)), on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan; or (B) convert the then outstanding principal amount of each such LIBOR Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan as of the last day of such Interest Period.
 
(b)          Laws Affecting LIBOR Rate Availability.  If, after the date hereof, the introduction of, or any change in, any Applicable Law or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, shall make it unlawful or impossible for any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) to honor its obligations hereunder to make or maintain any LIBOR Rate Loan, such Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice to the Borrower and the other Lenders.  Thereafter, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that such circumstances no longer exist, (i) the obligations of the Lenders to make LIBOR Rate Loans, and the right of the Borrower to convert any Term Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan or continue any Term Loan as a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be suspended and thereafter the Borrower may select only Base Rate Loans and (ii) if any of the Lenders may not lawfully continue to maintain a LIBOR Rate Loan to the end of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto, the applicable Term Loan shall immediately be converted to a Base Rate Loan for the remainder of such Interest Period.
 
68

(c)          Benchmark Replacement Setting.
 
(i)           (A)             Benchmark Replacement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document (and any Hedge Agreement shall be deemed not to be a “Loan Document” for purposes of this Section 3.8(c)), if a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (a)(1) or (a)(2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (a)(3) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.
 
(B)              Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Term SOFR Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then the applicable Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder or under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that this clause (B) shall not be effective unless the Administrative Agent has delivered to the Lenders and the Borrower a Term SOFR Notice.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to deliver a Term SOFR Notice after a Term SOFR Transition Event and may elect or not elect to do so in its sole discretion.
 
(ii)           Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time in consultation with the Borrower and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
 
(iii)         Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (A) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date, (B) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (C) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (D) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 3.8(c)(iv) below and (E) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period.  Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 3.8(c), including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 3.8(c).
 
69

(iv)          Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (A) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR or USD LIBOR) and either (1) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (2) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (B) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (A) above either (1) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (2) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.
 
(v)           Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of LIBOR Rate Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate.
 
SECTION 3.9        Indemnity.  The Borrower hereby indemnifies each of the Lenders against any loss or expense (including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain a LIBOR Rate Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained) which may arise or be attributable to each Lender’s obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits or other funds acquired to effect, fund or maintain any Term Loan (a) as a consequence of any failure by the Borrower to make any payment when due of any amount due hereunder in connection with a LIBOR Rate Loan, (b) due to any failure of the Borrower to borrow or continue a LIBOR Rate Loan or convert to a LIBOR Rate Loan on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation or (c) due to any payment, prepayment or conversion of any LIBOR Rate Loan on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor.  The amount of such loss or expense shall be determined, in the applicable Lender’s sole discretion, based upon the assumption that such Lender funded its Term Loan Percentage of the LIBOR Rate Loans in the London interbank market and using any reasonable attribution or averaging methods which such Lender deems appropriate and practical.  A certificate of such Lender setting forth the basis for determining such amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender shall be forwarded to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent and shall be conclusively presumed to be correct save for manifest error.  All of the obligations of the Credit Parties under this Section 3.9 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Term Loan Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.
 
70

SECTION 3.10      Increased Costs.
 
(a)          Increased Costs Generally.  If any Change in Law shall:
 
(i)            impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or advances, loans or other credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the LIBOR Rate);
 
(ii)          subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or
 
(iii)          impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or LIBOR Rate Loans made by such Lender;
 
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Term Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Term Loan), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon written request of such Lender or other Recipient, the Borrower shall promptly pay to any such Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
 
(b)          Capital Requirements.  If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Term Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time upon written request of such Lender, the Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
 
(c)          Certificates for Reimbursement.  A certificate of a Lender or such other Recipient setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender, such other Recipient or any of their respective holding companies, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Borrower shall pay such Lender or such other Recipient, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.
 
(d)         Delay in Requests.  Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or such other Recipient to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such other Recipient’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate any Lender or any other Recipient pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine (9) months prior to the date that such Lender or such other Recipient, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s or such other Recipient’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
 
71

(e)          Survival.  All of the obligations of the Credit Parties under this Section 3.10 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Term Loan Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.
 
SECTION 3.11      Taxes.
 
(a)          Defined Terms.  For purposes of this Section 3.11, the term “Applicable Law” includes FATCA.
 
(b)         Payments Free of Taxes.  Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Credit Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law.  If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Credit Party shall be increased as necessary so that, after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
 
(c)          Payment of Other Taxes by the Credit Parties.  The Credit Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
 
(d)          Indemnification by the Credit Parties.  The Credit Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Recipient (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Recipient, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
 
(e)         Indemnification by the Lenders.  Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Credit Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Credit Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.9(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to setoff and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).
 
72

(f)           Evidence of Payments.  As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Credit Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 3.11, such Credit 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.
 
(g)          Status of Lenders.
 
(i)             Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 3.11(g)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
 
(ii)            Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,:
 
(A)               any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from United States federal backup withholding tax;
 
(B)               any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
 
(1)          in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, United States federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, United States federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;
 
(2)          executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;
 
73

(3)         in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or
 
(4)          to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-2 or Exhibit G-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
 
(C)              any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
 
(D)              if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to United States federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
 
Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
 
74

(h)          Treatment of Certain Refunds.  If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.11 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.11), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund).  Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid.  This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
 
(i)          Survival.  Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.11 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Term Loan Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.
 
SECTION 3.12      Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.
 
(a)          Designation of a Different Lending Office.  If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.10, or requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.11, then such Lender shall, at the request of the Borrower, use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Term Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.10 or Section 3.11, 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 Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
 
(b)          Replacement of Lenders.  If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.10, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.11, and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different Lending Office in accordance with Section 3.12(a), or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its 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, and consents required by, Section 10.9), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 3.10 or Section 3.11) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:
 
(i)             the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 10.9;
 
75

(ii)           such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Term Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.9) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts, including any amounts under Section 2.4(c));
 
(iii)           in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.10 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.11, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;
 
(iv)          such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Law; and
 
(v)           in the case of any assignment resulting from  a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.
 
A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
 
Each party hereto agrees that (x) an assignment required pursuant to this Section 3.12 may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption or an Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption, as applicable executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee and (y) the Lender required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto in order for such assignment to be effective and shall be deemed to have consented to and be bound by the terms thereof; provided that, following the effectiveness of any such assignment, the other parties to such assignment agree to execute and deliver such documents necessary to evidence such assignment as reasonably requested by the applicable Lender or the Administrative Agent; provided further that any such documents shall be without recourse to or warranty by the parties thereto.
 
(c)          Selection of Lending Office. Subject to Section 3.12(a), each Lender may make any Term Loan to the Borrower through any Lending Office, provided that the exercise of this option shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower to repay the Term Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or otherwise alter the rights of the parties hereto.
 
SECTION 3.13      Incremental Term Loans.
 
(a)          Request for Incremental Term Loan.  At any time after the Closing Date, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower may, from time to time, request additional term loans, the principal amount of which will be added to the outstanding principal amount of the Class of existing Term Loans having the latest maturity, or which shall constitute one or more additional Classes of term loans (each, additional term loan, an “Incremental Term Loan”); provided that (A) the aggregate initial principal amount of such requested Incremental Term Loan shall not exceed the then available Incremental Facility Limit (after giving effect to such Incremental Term Loans and any Incremental Equivalent Indebtedness being incurred concurrently therewith),  (B) any such request for increase shall be in a minimum amount of $25,000,000 (or such lesser amount as agreed to by the Administrative Agent) or, if less, the remaining amount permitted pursuant to the foregoing clause (A), (C) no Lender will be required or otherwise obligated to provide any portion of such Incremental Term Loan (it being agreed that the Borrower shall not be obligated to offer the opportunity to any Lender to participate in any Incremental Term Loan) and (D) unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent, no more than five (5) Incremental Term Loans shall be permitted to be requested during the term of this Agreement.
 
76

(b)          Incremental Lenders.  Each notice from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.13 shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Term Loan.  Incremental Term Loans may be provided by any existing Lender or by any other Persons (each such Lender or other Person, an “Incremental Lender”), other than Disqualified Institutions; provided that the Administrative Agent and the Borrower each shall have consented (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to such Incremental Lender’s providing such Incremental Term Loans to the extent any such consent would be required under Section 10.9(b) for an assignment of Term Loans to such Incremental Lender and any portion of such Incremental Term Loans provided by an Affiliated Lender shall comply with Section 10.9(h).  At the time of sending such notice, the Borrower (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each proposed Incremental Lender is requested to respond, which shall in no event be less than ten (10) Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the proposed Incremental Lenders (or such shorter period as agreed to by the Administrative Agent).  Each proposed Incremental Lender may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, and shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent within such time period whether it agrees, to provide an Incremental Term Loan and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than or less than requested.  Any Person not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to provide an Incremental Term Loan.
 
(c)          Incremental Term Loan Effective Date and Allocations.  The Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall determine the effective date (the “Incremental Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such Incremental Term Loan (limited in the case of the Incremental Lenders to their own respective allocations thereof).  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Incremental Lenders of the final allocation of such Incremental Term Loans and the Incremental Effective Date.
 
(d)          Terms of Incremental Term Loans.  The terms of each Incremental Term Loan (which shall be set forth in the relevant Incremental Amendment) shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable Incremental Lenders; provided that (i) each Incremental Term Loan (A) shall constitute Obligations of the Borrower and be secured on a pari passu basis with the Initial Term Loans; and (B) will satisfy each of the Permitted Indebtedness Conditions and (ii) the proceeds of any Incremental Term Loan may be used by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries for general corporate purposes, including the financing of Permitted Acquisitions and other Investments, Restricted Payments and Restricted Junior Debt Payments permitted hereunder.
 
(e)          Other Conditions to Effectiveness of Incremental Term Loans.  Any Incremental Term Loan shall become effective as of such Incremental Effective Date and shall be subject to the following additional conditions precedent, which, in the case of an Incremental Term Loan incurred solely to finance a substantially concurrent Limited Condition Transaction, shall be subject to Section 1.10:
 
(i)            all of the representations and warranties set forth in Article V shall be true and correct in all material respects (or if qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, in all respects) as of such Incremental Effective Date, or if such representation speaks as of an earlier date, as of such earlier date;
 
(ii)            the Credit Parties shall have executed an Incremental Amendment in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Borrower and the applicable Incremental Lenders; and
 
(iii)          the Administrative Agent shall have received from the Borrower, any customary legal opinions or other documents (including a resolution duly adopted by the board of directors (or equivalent governing body) of each Credit Party authorizing such Incremental Term Loan), reasonably requested by Administrative Agent in connection with such Incremental Term Loan.
 
77

(f)           Incremental Amendments.  Each such Incremental Term Loan shall be effected pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Credit Parties, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Incremental Lenders, which Incremental Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 3.13.
 
SECTION 3.14      Amend and Extend Transactions.
 
(a)          The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, request an extension (each, an “Extension”) of the maturity date of any Class of Term Loans to the extended maturity date specified in such notice.

119

(b)          Each Lender hereby agrees, on behalf of itself and each of its Affiliates that is a Secured Party, that, except as otherwise provided in any Loan Document or with the written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, it will not take any enforcement action, accelerate obligations under any of the Loan Documents, or exercise any right that it might otherwise have under Applicable Law to credit bid at foreclosure sales, UCC sales or other similar dispositions of Collateral.
 
SECTION 8.7         Borrower’s Right to Cure.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 8.1, in the event of any Event of Default for failure to comply with Section 7.14 at the end of any fiscal quarter, until the expiration of the tenth (10th) Business Day after the day on which the financial statements and Compliance Certificate are required to be delivered for such fiscal quarter (the “Cure Expiration Date”), the Net Cash Proceeds from any cash equity contribution (which equity shall be either common Equity Interests or other Qualified Equity Interests) made to Holdings and contributed in cash to the common Equity Interests or other Qualified Equity Interests of the Borrower after the end of such fiscal quarter will, at the written request of the Borrower, be included in the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA solely for the purpose of determining compliance with Section 7.14  at the end of such fiscal quarter and applicable subsequent periods that include such fiscal quarter (any such equity contribution so included in the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA, a “Specified Equity Contribution”); provided that (a) in each four consecutive fiscal quarter period there will be a period of at least two fiscal quarters in which no Specified Equity Contribution is made, (b) no more than four (4) Specified Equity Contributions may be made during the term of this Agreement, (c) the amount of any Specified Equity Contribution shall be no more than the amount required to cause Holdings and the Borrower to be in pro forma compliance with the financial covenant set forth in Section 7.14 for such fiscal quarter, (d) Consolidated EBITDA shall be increased by an amount equal to such Specified Equity Contribution solely for the purpose of determining compliance with the financial covenant set forth in Section 7.14 with respect to any Reference Period that includes the fiscal quarter for which such Specified Equity Contribution was made and not for any other purpose under this Agreement (including for purposes of determining the availability or amount of any covenant baskets or carve-outs, pricing or for any other purpose), (e) there shall be no pro forma reduction in Indebtedness with the proceeds of any Specified Equity Contribution for determining compliance with Section 7.14 for the Reference Period ended as of the end of the fiscal quarter for which the Specified Equity Contribution was made (but any such reduction shall be given effect in calculations of Section 7.14 in subsequent Reference Periods that include such fiscal quarter).  Holdings shall, on or prior to the making of any Specified Equity Contribution, give the Administrative Agent a written notice identifying the aggregate amount of such Specified Equity Contribution to be used to test compliance with Section 7.14 for such fiscal quarter.  Upon the making of a Specified Equity Contribution, the financial covenant set forth in Section 7.14 shall be recalculated giving effect to the increase in Consolidated EBITDA; provided that nothing in this Section 8.7 shall waive any Default or Event of Default that exists pursuant to Section 7.14 until such recalculation.  If, after giving effect to such recalculation, Holdings and the Borrower are in compliance with the financial covenant set forth in Section 7.14 as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, then the applicable Default or Event of Default that had occurred shall be deemed cured and not to have occurred for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Article VIII, neither the Administrative Agent nor or any Lender may exercise any rights or remedies under Section 8.2 (or under any other Loan Document) on the basis of any actual or purported Event of Default for failure to comply with Section 7.14  until and unless the Cure Expiration Date has occurred without a Specified Equity Contribution having been contributed and designated; provided that during the period set forth in this sentence, an Event of Default shall nevertheless be deemed to have occurred and be continuing for all other purposes under the Loan Documents.

(b)        The Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders (including each holder of Secured Hedge Obligations and Secured Cash Management Obligations) hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Credit Parties to secure any of the Secured Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto (including to enter into additional Loan Documents or supplements to existing Loan Documents on behalf of the Secured Parties).  In this connection, the Administrative Agent, as “collateral agent” and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Article IX for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Security 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 and Article X (including Section 10.3, 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)          It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

(i)             shall not be subject to any agency, trust, fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;
 
121

(ii)          shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or Applicable Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may affect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law;

SECTION 9.4        Reliance by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, shall be fully protected in relying and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, communication, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person, including any certification pursuant to Section 9.9.  The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall be fully protected in relying and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.  In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Term Loan, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Term Loan.  The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for Holdings and the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.  Each Lender that has signed this Agreement or a signature page to an Assignment and Assumption or an Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption, as applicable, or any other Loan Document pursuant to which it is to become a Lender hereunder shall be deemed to have consented to, approved and accepted and shall deemed satisfied with each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to, approved or accepted by such Lender or that is to be acceptable or satisfactory to such Lender.
 
SECTION 9.5       Delegation of Duties.  The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties.  The exculpatory provisions of this Article 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 Facility as well as activities as Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub‑agents.
 
SECTION 9.6        Resignation of Administrative Agent.
 
(a)          The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower.  Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower and subject to the consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of the Borrower (provided no Event of Default under Section 8.1(a), (b), (h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing at the time of such resignation), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank or  financial institution reasonably experienced in serving as administrative agent on syndicated bank facilities with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank or financial institution with an office in the United States.  If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that in no event shall any such successor Administrative Agent be a Defaulting Lender, an Affiliated Lender, a Disqualified Institution or a Net Short Lender.  Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.
 
123

(b)          If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, by notice in writing to the Borrower and such Person, remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, in consultation with the Borrower and subject to the consent of the Borrower (provided no Event of Default under Section 8.1(a), (b), (h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing at the time of such removal), appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.
 
(c)          With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable), (i) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (ii) except for any indemnity payments or other amounts then owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above.  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent as of the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date, as applicable), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents.  The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor.  After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.3 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent or relating to its duties as Administrative Agent that are carried out following its retirement or removal, including, without limitation, any actions taken with respect to acting as collateral agent or otherwise holding any Collateral on behalf of any of the Secured Parties or in respect of any actions taken in connection with the transfer of agency to a replacement or successor Administrative Agent.
 
(d)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Disqualified Institution may be appointed as a successor Administrative Agent.
 
124

provided further, that (i) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or modify Section 10.1(e), Section 10.20 or Article IX hereof; (ii) the Engagement Letter may be amended, or rights or privileges thereunder waived, in a writing executed only by the parties thereto, (iii) notwithstanding the foregoing, any waiver, amendment or modification of this Agreement that by its terms affects the rights or duties under this Agreement of Lenders holding Term Loans of a particular Class (but not the Lenders holding Term Loans of any other Class) may be effected by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by Holdings, the Borrower and the requisite percentage in interest of the affected Class of Lenders that would be required to consent thereto under this Section if such Class of Lenders were the only Class of Lenders hereunder at the time, (iv) the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to (A) amend any provision of the Loan Documents (and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Document) if the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall have jointly identified an obvious error or any error, ambiguity, defect or inconsistency or omission of a technical or immaterial nature in any such provision, (B) amend, supplement and/or waive the provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents solely to the extent necessary to comply with any Applicable Law or to cause such Loan Document to be consistent with this Agreement and/or the other relevant Loan Documents and (C) amend this Agreement to add in terms that are more restrictive on Holdings and its Subsidiaries than the terms and conditions of this Agreement and/or add any financial maintenance covenant for the benefit of the Lenders hereunder, in each case, in connection with the incurrence of any Indebtedness permitted under this Agreement, (v) any waiver, amendment or modification of the Closing Date Intercreditor Agreement (and any related definitions) may be effected on the terms set forth therein, (vi) any waiver, amendment or modification of any Acceptable Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement (and any related definitions) may be effected on the terms set forth therein and (vii) the Administrative Agent may, without the consent of any Lender, enter into amendments or modifications to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or to enter into additional Loan Documents as the Administrative Agent reasonably deems appropriate in order to implement any Benchmark Replacement or any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes or otherwise effectuate the terms of Section 3.8(c) in accordance with the terms of Section 3.8(c).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (x) no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that any amendment, waiver, or consent hereunder which requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms disproportionately and adversely affects any such Defaulting Lender relative to other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender and (y) no Net Short Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents and instead shall be deemed to have voted its interest as a Lender as provided in the penultimate paragraph of this Section 10.2.
 
133

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent on its behalf, and without further consent of any Lender (but with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent), to (x) amend and restate this Agreement and the other Loan Documents if, upon giving effect to such amendment and restatement, such Lender shall no longer be a party to this Agreement (as so amended and restated), the Term Loan Commitments of such Lender shall have terminated, such Lender shall have no other commitment or other obligation hereunder and shall have been paid in full all principal, interest and other amounts owing to it or accrued for its account under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (y) enter into amendments or modifications to this Agreement (including amendments to this Section 10.2) or any of the other Loan Documents or to enter into additional Loan Documents as the Administrative Agent reasonably deems appropriate in order to effectuate the terms of Sections 3.13, 3.14 and 3.15 (including without limitation, as applicable, (A) to provide that additional Classes of Term Loans and/or Term Loan Commitments shall share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Obligations, (B) to appropriately include the Lenders of such Classes in any determination of (1) Required Lenders or (2) similar required lender terms applicable thereto and (C) to permit any such additional credit facilities to share ratably with the Term Loans in the application of prepayments; provided that no amendment or modification shall result in any increase in the amount of any Lender’s Term Loan Commitment or any increase in any Lender’s Term Loan Percentage, in each case, without the written consent of such affected Lender and (z) to make amendments to any outstanding tranche of Term Loans to permit any Term Loan Commitment with respect to an Incremental Term Loan and Incremental Term Loans to be “fungible” (including for purposes of the Code) with such tranche of Term Loans, including increases in the Applicable Margin or any fees payable to such outstanding tranche of Term Loans or providing such outstanding tranche of Term Loans with the benefit of any call protection or covenants that are applicable to the proposed Term Loan Commitment with respect to such Incremental Term Loans; provided that any such amendments or modifications to such outstanding tranche of Term Loans shall not directly adversely affect the Lenders holding such tranche of Term Loans without their consent.
 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in connection with any determination as to whether the requisite Lenders have (i) consented (or not consented) to any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any departure by any Credit Party therefrom, (ii) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document, or (iii) directed or required the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Loan Document, any Lender (other than any Lender that is a Regulated Bank) that, as a result of its interest in any total return swap, total rate of return swap, credit default swap or other derivative contract (other than any such total return swap, total rate of return swap, credit default swap or other derivative contract entered into pursuant to bona fide market making activities), has a net short position with respect to the Term Loans and/or Term Loan Commitments (each, a “Net Short Lender”) shall, unless the Borrower otherwise elects (in its sole discretion), have no right to vote any of its Term Loans and Term Loan Commitments and shall be deemed to have voted its interest as a Lender without discretion in the same proportion as the allocation of voting with respect to such matter by Lenders who are not Net Short Lenders.
 
134

For purposes of determining whether a Lender has a “net short position” on any date of determination: (i) derivative contracts with respect to the Term Loans and Term Loan Commitments and such contracts that are the functional equivalent thereof shall be counted at the notional amount thereof in Dollars, (ii) notional amounts in other currencies shall be converted to the Dollar equivalent thereof by such Lender in a commercially reasonable manner consistent with generally accepted financial practices and based on the prevailing conversion rate (determined on a mid-market basis) on the date of determination, (iii) derivative contracts in respect of an index that includes any of the Borrower or other Credit Parties or any instrument issued or guaranteed by any of the Borrower or other Credit Parties shall not be deemed to create a short position with respect to the Term Loans and/or Term Loan Commitments, so long as (x) such index is not created, designed, administered or requested by such Lender and (y) the Borrower and other Credit Parties and any instrument issued or guaranteed by any of the Borrower or other Credit Parties, collectively, shall represent less than 5% of the components of such index, (iv) derivative transactions that are documented using either the 2014 ISDA Credit Derivatives Definitions or the 2003 ISDA Credit Derivatives Definitions (collectively, the “ISDA CDS Definitions”) shall be deemed to create a short position with respect to the Term Loans and/or Term Loan Commitments if such Lender is a protection buyer or the equivalent thereof for such derivative transaction and (x) the Term Loans or the Term Loan Commitments are a “Reference Obligation” under the terms of such derivative transaction (whether specified by name in the related documentation, included as a “Standard Reference Obligation” on the most recent list published by Markit, if “Standard Reference Obligation” is specified as applicable in the relevant documentation or in any other manner), (y) the Term Loans or the Term Loan Commitments would be a “Deliverable Obligation” under the terms of such derivative transaction or (z) any of the Borrower or other Credit Parties (or its successor) is designated as a “Reference Entity” under the terms of such derivative transactions, and (v) credit derivative transactions or other derivatives transactions not documented using the ISDA CDS Definitions shall be deemed to create a short position with respect to the Term Loans and/or Term Loan Commitments if such transactions are functionally equivalent to a transaction that offers the Lender protection in respect of the Term Loans or the Term Loan Commitments, or as to the credit quality of any of the Borrower or other Credit Parties other than, in each case, as part of an index so long as (x) such index is not created, designed, administered or requested by such Lender and (y) the Borrower and other Credit Parties and any instrument issued or guaranteed by any of the Borrower or other Credit Parties, collectively, shall represent less than 5% of the components of such index.  In connection with any such determination, each Lender (other than any Lender that is a Regulated Bank) shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent in writing that it is a Net Short Lender, or shall otherwise be deemed to have represented and warranted to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it is not a Net Short Lender (it being understood and agreed that the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely on each such representation and deemed representation).  In no event shall the Administrative Agent be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender is a Net Short Lender.
 
SECTION 10.3      Expenses; Indemnity.
 
(a)         Costs and Expenses.  The Borrower and any other Credit Party, jointly and severally, shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented out of pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Arranger and their respective Affiliates (including the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, charges and disbursements of one counsel to the Administrative Agent, the Arranger and their respective Affiliates and, if reasonably necessary, a single local counsel and/or specialty counsel in each relevant and material jurisdiction and a single special counsel with respect to each relevant and material specialty) in connection with the syndication of the Credit Facility, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery 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) and (ii) all reasonable and documented out of pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender (including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of one counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders taken as a whole, and, if reasonably necessary, a single local counsel in each relevant and material jurisdiction and a single special counsel with respect to each relevant and material specialty for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (taken as a whole) in each relevant and material jurisdiction or specialty, and in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest of any of the foregoing counsel, one additional such counsel in each relevant and material jurisdiction or specialty to the affected persons similarly situated and taken as a whole)), in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or (B) in connection with the Term Loans, including all such reasonable and documented out of pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Term Loans.

(c)         Reimbursement by Lenders.  To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under clause (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought based on each Lender’s share of the outstanding Term Loans at such time, or if the outstanding Term Loans have been reduced to zero, then based on such Lender’s share of the outstanding Term Loans immediately prior to such reduction) of such unpaid amount (including any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such Lender).  The obligations of the Lenders under this clause (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 3.7.
 
136

(e)           Payments.  All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after demand therefor.
 
(f)            Survival.  Each party’s obligations under this Section shall survive the termination of the Loan Documents and payment of the obligations hereunder.

(b)         Submission to Jurisdiction.  The Borrower and each other Credit Party irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it will not commence any action, litigation or proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Related Party of the foregoing in any way relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions relating hereto or thereto, in any forum other than the courts of the State of New York sitting in New York County, and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, and, except as provided in Section 9.12 solely with respect to the matters set forth in Section 9.12, each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts and agrees that all claims in respect of any such action, litigation or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, in such federal court.  Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action, litigation 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.  Nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against the Borrower or any other Credit Party or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
 
137

(c)          Waiver of Venue.  The Borrower and each other Credit Party irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any 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 Applicable Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
 
(d)          Service of Process.  Each party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.1.  Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by Applicable Law.
 
SECTION 10.6    Waiver of Jury Trial.  EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY 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 OR 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 PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON 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 AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

SECTION 10.8     Injunctive Relief.  The Borrower recognizes that, in the event the Borrower fails to perform, observe or discharge any of its obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, any remedy of law may prove to be inadequate relief to the Lenders.

138

(B)              in any case not described in paragraph (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the principal outstanding balance of the Term Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption or Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption or Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $1,000,000, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default under any of Sections 8.1(a), (b), (h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have given its consent ten (10) Business Days after the date written notice thereof has been delivered by the assigning Lender (through the Administrative Agent) unless such consent is expressly refused by the Borrower prior to such tenth (10th) Business Day;
 
(ii)          Proportionate Amounts.  Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the assigned Term Loans, except that this clause (ii) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate Classes on a non-pro rata basis;

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in Section 10.2(b), (c), (d) or (e) that directly and adversely affects such Participant.  The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.9, 3.10 and 3.11 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 3.11(g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.11(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 3.12 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.10 or 3.11, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation.  Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 3.12(b) with respect to any Participant.  To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.4 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 3.6 and Section 10.4 as though it were a Lender.

143

(iv)         the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans held at any one time by all Affiliated Lenders may not exceed 25% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Term Loans (after giving effect to any substantially simultaneous cancellation thereof, the “Affiliated Lender Cap”); provided that each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever incurred or suffered by any Person in connection with any compliance or non-compliance with this clause (h)(iv) or any purported assignment exceeding the Affiliated Lender Cap (it being understood and agreed that the Affiliated Lender Cap is intended to apply to any Term Loan made available to Affiliated Lenders by means other than formal assignments (e.g., as a result of an acquisition of another Lender by an Affiliated Lender or the provision of Incremental Term Loans by an Affiliated Lender); provided further that to the extent that any assignment to an Affiliated Lender would result in the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans held by Affiliated Lenders exceeding the Affiliated Lender Cap (after giving effect to any substantially simultaneous cancellations thereof), the assignment of the relevant excess amount shall be null and void (except to the extent such excess amount is subsequently assigned to a Person that is not an Affiliated Lender);

(vi)           each Designated Affiliated Lender is either (A) identified on the list provided to the Arranger prior to the Closing Date or (B) is an Affiliate of the Borrower or a Permitted Investor that was formed or acquired after the Closing Date and was identified by name in a written notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent after the Closing Date (which such notice shall be specifically labeled as a supplement to the Designated Affiliated Lender list and delivered to each address of the Administrative Agent set forth in Section 10.1(a));
 
(vii)       by its execution of an Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption each Designated Affiliated Lender shall be deemed to have represented to the Administrative Agent that it satisfies each of the requirements of a Designated Affiliated Lender and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely on such representation and warranty without further inquiry or action;
 
(viii)       the assigning Lender and the Affiliated Lender purchasing such Lender’s Term Loans shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption;

144

(x)            no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing before or immediately after giving effect to such assignment contemplated by this clause (h); and
 
(xi)           no Affiliated Lender shall be required to represent or warrant that it is not in possession of material non-public information with respect to Holdings and/or any Subsidiary thereof and/or their respective securities in connection with any assignment permitted by this Section 10.9(h).
 
Each Affiliated Lender that is a Lender hereunder agrees to comply with the terms of this clause (h) (notwithstanding that it may be granted access to the Platform or any other electronic site established for the Lenders by the Administrative Agent).  Each Affiliated Lender and the Borrower agrees to notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower promptly (and in any event within 10 Business Days) if it acquires any Person who is also a Lender or a known Affiliate of a Lender, and each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower promptly (and in any event within 10 Business Days) if it becomes an Affiliated Lender.
 
(i)            Disqualified Institutions.

Any assignment in violation of this clause (i)(i) shall not be void, but the other provisions of this clause (i) shall apply.
 
(ii)           If any assignment or participation is made to any Disqualified Institution without the Borrower’s prior written consent in violation of clause (i) above, or if any Person becomes a Disqualified Institution after the applicable Trade Date, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Institution and the Administrative Agent, (A) in the case of outstanding Term Loans held by Disqualified Institutions, purchase or prepay such Term Loan by paying the lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Institution paid to acquire such Term Loans, in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder and/or (B) require such Disqualified Institution to assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 10.9), all of its interest, rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Eligible Assignees at the lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Institution paid to acquire such interests, rights and obligations, in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder.

(iv)         The Administrative Agent may make the list of Disqualified Institutions provided by the Borrower and any updates thereto from time to time (collectively, the “DQ List”) available on a confidential basis in accordance with Section 10.10 to any Lender who specifically requests a copy thereof, and such Lender may provide such DQ List to any potential assignee or participant who agrees to keep such list confidential in accordance with Section 10.10 solely for the purpose of permitting such Person to verify whether such Person (or any Affiliate thereof) is a Disqualified Institution.

this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or in connection with marketing of services by such Affiliate or Related Party to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries (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 on the terms set forth in this Section 10.10 (or on terms that are otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Borrower)), (b) to the extent required or requested by, or required to be disclosed to, any regulatory or similar authority having jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners) or in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s regulatory compliance policy if the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, deems such disclosure to be necessary for the mitigation of claims by those authorities against the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, or any of its Related Parties (in which case, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to, except with respect to any audit or examination conducted by bank accountants or any governmental bank regulatory authority exercising examination or regulatory authority, promptly notify the Borrower, in advance, to the extent practicable and otherwise permitted by Applicable Law), (c) pursuant to the order of any court or administrative agency or in any judicial or administrative

Agreement, under any other Loan Document or under any Secured Hedge Agreement or Secured Cash Management Agreement, or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Secured Hedge Agreement or Secured Cash Management Agreement, or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions at least as restrictive as

in each case, their respective financing sources, (ii) any actual or prospective party (or its Related Parties) to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the Borrower and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder (it being understood that the DQ List may be disclosed to any assignee or Participant, or prospective assignee or Participant, in reliance on this clause (f), but subject to Section 10.9(i)(iv)), and/or (iii) an investor or prospective investor in an Approved Fund for the purpose of evaluating an investment in such Approved Fund, (g) on a confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating Holdings or its Subsidiaries or the Credit Facility or (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar

regarding the Credit Facility), (h) with the written consent of the Borrower, (i) deal terms and other general information regarding the Credit Facility customarily reported to Thomson Reuters, other bank market data collectors and similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the administration of the Loan

or any of their respective Affiliates from a third party that is not, to such Person’s knowledge, subject to confidentiality obligations to Holdings or the Borrower or their Subsidiaries, (k) to the extent that such information is independently developed by such Person, so long as the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have not otherwise breached their respective confidentiality obligations hereunder and have not developed such information based on information received from a third party that to its knowledge has breached confidentiality obligations owing to the Borrower, or (l) for purposes of establishing a “due diligence” defense.  Nothing in this Agreement permits the Secured Parties to disclose any information under Section 275(4) of the Australian PPSA unless Section 275(7) of the Australian PPSA applies.  For purposes of this Section 10.10, “Information” means all information received from any Credit Party or any Subsidiary thereof relating to any Credit Party or any Subsidiary thereof or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Credit Party or any Subsidiary thereof.  Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 10.10 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

148

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.

(i)                 each Secured Party with the benefit of the security interest need not comply with sections 95, 118, 121(4), 125, 130, 132(3)(d) or 132(4) of the Australian PPSA;
