LOAN AGREEMENT

THIS LOAN AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of October 2, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), is by and among AMICUS THERAPEUTICS, INC., a Delaware corporation (as “Borrower”), each other Person from time to time party hereto that is designated as a “Credit Party” (as defined below), WILMINGTON TRUST, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (as “Agent”), Blackstone Alternative Credit Advisors LP and Blackstone Life Sciences Advisors L.L.C., (collectively, as the “Blackstone Representative”) and each lender from time to time party hereto (each individually a “Lender” and collectively, the “Lenders”).

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, the Lenders have agreed to extend a Term Loan to Borrower in an aggregate principal amount equal to $400,000,000, the proceeds of which shall be used (a) to refinance the Existing Indebtedness on the Funding Date, (ii) to pay fees, costs, and expenses in connection with the funding of the Term Loan, and (iii) for general corporate purposes of Borrower and its Subsidiaries;

WHEREAS, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ desires to secure the Obligations by granting to Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in and Lien upon the Collateral granted by it pursuant to the Collateral Documents; and

WHEREAS, subject to the terms hereof, each Guarantor is willing to guarantee all of the Obligations and to grant to Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in and Lien upon the Collateral granted by it pursuant to the Collateral Documents.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements, provisions and covenants contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.            ACCOUNTING AND OTHER TERMS

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all accounting terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to them in conformity with Applicable Accounting Standards. Calculations and determinations must be made following Applicable Accounting Standards. If at any time any change in Applicable Accounting Standards would affect the computation of any financial requirement set forth in any Loan Document, and either Borrower or the Blackstone Representative shall so request, the Blackstone Representative and Borrower shall negotiate in good faith to amend such requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in Applicable Accounting Standards; provided, that, until so amended, such requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with Applicable Accounting Standards prior to such change therein.

Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in Section 14. All other terms contained in this Agreement, unless otherwise indicated, shall have the meaning provided by the Code to the extent such terms are defined therein. All references to “Dollars” or “$” are United States Dollars, unless otherwise noted, and all payments made by the Credit Parties to the Agent or the Lenders with respect to the Obligations shall be in Dollars.

For purposes of determining compliance with Section 6 with respect to the amount of any Indebtedness in a currency other than Dollars, no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of changes in rates of currency exchange occurring after the time such Indebtedness is incurred, made or acquired (so long as such Indebtedness, at the time incurred, made or acquired, was permitted hereunder).

The Agent does not warrant or accept responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to (a) the continuation of, administration of, submission of, calculation of or any other matter related to the Base Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR or Term SOFR, or any component definition thereof or rates referred to in the definition thereof, or any alternative, successor or replacement rate thereto (including any Benchmark Replacement), including whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, or have the same volume or liquidity as, Base ▇▇▇▇, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR, Term SOFR or any other Benchmark prior to its discontinuance or unavailability, or (b) the effect, implementation or composition of any Conforming Changes. The Agent and its affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of the Base Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR, Adjusted Term SOFR, any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to Borrower. The Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain the Base Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR, Adjusted Term SOFR or any other Benchmark, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to Borrower, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.

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), including a statutory division pursuant to Section 18-217 of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act: (a) if any asset or property of any Person becomes the asset or property of one or more different Persons, then such asset or property shall be deemed to have been disposed of from the original Person to the subsequent Person(s) on the date such division becomes effective, (b) if any obligation or liability of any Person becomes the obligation or liability of one or more different Person(s), then the original Person shall be deemed to have been automatically released from such obligation or liability and such obligation or liability shall be deemed to have been assumed by the subsequent Person(s), in each case, on the date such division becomes effective and (c) 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 on the date such division becomes effective.

(iii)            If at any time any Credit Party or any Subsidiary of a Credit Party shall incur Indebtedness not constituting Permitted Indebtedness, then (A) Borrower shall promptly notify the Agent in writing of such incurrence of Indebtedness (including the amount of the Net Issuance Proceeds received by a Credit Party or such Subsidiary in respect thereof) (and upon receipt of any such written notice the Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof) and (B) promptly (and in any event, within five (5) Business Days (or such later date as agreed by the Blackstone Representative)) upon receipt by a Credit Party or such Subsidiary of the Net Issuance Proceeds of incurrence of Indebtedness, Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Issuance Proceeds to the Agent for distribution to the Lenders as a prepayment of the Term Loans, together with any and all accrued and unpaid interest with respect to the Term Loans so prepaid, and the Prepayment Premium (if applicable).

(iv)            If at any time any Credit Party or any Subsidiary of a Credit Party shall make an Asset Sale or suffer an Event of Loss, and the aggregate amount of the Net Proceeds received by the Credit Parties and their Subsidiaries in connection with such Asset Sale or Event of Loss and all other Asset Sales and Events of Loss occurring during the same fiscal year exceeds $50,000,000 then (A) Borrower shall promptly notify the Agent in writing of such Asset Sale or Event of Loss, (including the amount of the Net Proceeds received by a Credit Party or such Subsidiary in respect thereof) (and upon receipt of any such written notice the Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof) and (B) promptly (and in any event, within five (5) Business Days (or such later date as agreed by the Blackstone Representative and the Agent)) upon receipt by a Credit Party or such Subsidiary of the Net Proceeds of such Asset Sale or Event of Loss, Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Proceeds (in excess of the thresholds set forth in subclauses (1) and (2) above to the Agent for distribution to the Lenders as a prepayment of the Term Loans, together with any and all accrued and unpaid interest with respect to the Term Loans so prepaid, and the Prepayment Premium (if applicable).

(v)            Notwithstanding the foregoing, and provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no prepayment of all (or a portion) of such Net Proceeds shall be required to the extent (i) a Credit Party or such Subsidiary reinvests the Net Proceeds (or applicable portion thereof) of any such Asset Sale or Event of Loss with respect to Collateral in assets or property of any Credit Party constituting Collateral of a kind then used or usable in the business of such Credit Party or (ii) a Credit Party or such Subsidiary reinvests the Net Proceeds (or applicable portion thereof) of any such Asset Sale or Event of Loss with respect to assets that are not Collateral in assets or property of any Credit Party or Subsidiary of a kind then used or usable in the business of such Credit Party or Subsidiary, in each case within three hundred sixty-five (365) days after the date of receipt of such Net Proceeds or enters into a binding commitment thereof within said three hundred sixty-five (365) day period and subsequently makes such reinvestment within one hundred eighty (180) days after the final day of such three hundred sixty-five (365) day period. Pending such reinvestment, the Net Proceeds shall be deposited, and shall remain on deposit, in a deposit account subject to a Control Agreement.

(d)            Allocation of Prepayments.

(i)            Subject to Section 8.3, each partial voluntary prepayment of the Term Loan shall be applied to reduce the then remaining installments of the Term Loan as directed by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (and absent such direction, in direct order of maturity (including with the payment due on the Term Loan Maturity Date)). In the case of a Tax-Related Cancellation and Prepayment the amount or amounts prepaid shall be applied in prepaying the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan of the relevant Lender or Lenders as specified by Borrower to the Agent in writing.

(ii)            Subject to Section 8.3, each mandatory prepayment of the Term Loan made pursuant to Sections 2.2(c)(iii) and (iv) shall be applied ratably to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan to the installments thereof (including the payment due on the Term Loan Maturity Date) pro rata.

(iii)            Each prepayment or repayment by Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Term Loan shall be applied by the Agent on a pro rata basis according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Term Loan then held by the Lenders, except, for the avoidance of doubt, in the event of a Tax-Related Cancelation and Prepayment in which case the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan of the relevant Lender or Lenders shall be prepaid in full.

(e)            Declined Amounts. In the event of any mandatory prepayment of the Term Loan pursuant to Sections 2.3(c)(ii), (iii), or (iv) (an “Applicable Mandatory Prepayment”), each Lender may reject all or a portion of its share of such Applicable Mandatory Prepayment by written notice (each, a “Rejection Notice”) (each such Lender, a “Rejecting Lender”) to the Agent no later than 2:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, two (2) Business Days after the date of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s receipt of notice of such Applicable Mandatory Prepayment as otherwise provided herein (the “Rejection Deadline”). If a Lender fails to deliver a Rejection Notice to the Agent at or prior to the Rejection Deadline, such Lender will be deemed to have accepted its ratable share of the Applicable Mandatory Prepayment. The aggregate portion of such Applicable Mandatory Prepayment that is rejected by Lenders pursuant to Rejection Notices shall be referred to as the “Rejected Amount”. Such Rejected Amount shall be offered to each Lender that is not a Rejecting Lender pro rata and such Lender may reject all or a portion of its share of the Rejected Amount pursuant to the procedures set forth in the immediately preceding sentence and the aggregate portion of such Rejected Amount that is rejected by the Lenders shall be returned by the Agent to Borrower and may be used by Borrower in any manner not prohibited by the Loan Documents.

(f)            Prepayment Premium. Upon the occurrence of a Prepayment Premium Trigger Event, Borrower shall pay to the Agent, for the account of the Lenders, the Prepayment Premium, plus any and all accrued but unpaid interest on the amount of principal being so prepaid through and including the date of prepayment. Any such Prepayment Premium shall be fully earned on the date paid and shall not be refundable or subject to proration for any reason; provided that a Tax-Related Cancellation and Prepayment shall in no circumstances constitute a Prepayment Premium Trigger Event notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any Loan Document. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, it is understood and agreed that if a Prepayment Premium Trigger Event occurs under clauses (a)(ii), (b), (c) or (d) of the definition thereof, the Prepayment Premium, determined as of the date of such acceleration or event, will also be due and payable and will be treated and deemed as though the entire principal amount of the Term Loan was prepaid as of such date and shall constitute part of the Obligations for all purposes herein. Any Prepayment Premium payable in accordance with this Section 2.2(f) shall be presumed to be equal to the liquidated damages sustained by the Lenders as the result of the occurrence of the Prepayment Premium Trigger Event, and Borrower and Guarantors agree that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. The Prepayment Premium, if any, shall also be payable in the event the Obligations (or this Agreement) are satisfied or released by foreclosure (whether by power of judicial proceeding), deed in lieu of foreclosure or by any other means. BORROWER AND THE GUARANTORS EXPRESSLY WAIVE (TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THEY MAY LAWFULLY DO SO AND THE SAME IS NOT OUTSIDE THEIR LEGAL CAPACITY (WHETHER AS A RESULT OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, CORPORATE BENEFIT, THIN CAPITALIZATION, CAPITAL MAINTENANCE OR LIQUIDITY MAINTENANCE RULES OR OTHER LEGAL PRINCIPLES)) THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE FOREGOING PREPAYMENT PREMIUM IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH PREPAYMENT, INCLUDING ANY VOLUNTARY OR INVOLUNTARY ACCELERATION OF THE OBLIGATIONS PURSUANT TO AN INSOLVENCY PROCEEDING OR OTHER PROCEEDING PURSUANT TO ANY INSOLVENCY LAWS OR PURSUANT TO A PLAN OF REORGANIZATION UNLESS PURSUANT TO THE German StaRUG and/or any similar law in any other country implementing, in whole or in part, the Relevant EU Directive). Borrower and Guarantors expressly agree that to the extent the following does not result in, or would reasonably be expected to result in, a risk of personal or criminal liability for any officer, director, employee, manager, member of management or consultant of the Borrower or relevant Guarantor (in each case, whether as a result of financial assistance, corporate benefit, thin capitalization, capital maintenance or liquidity maintenance rules or other legal principles) (i) the Prepayment Premium is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel, (ii) the Prepayment Premium shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made, (iii) there has been a course of conduct between the Lenders and the Credit Parties giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Prepayment Premium, (iv) the Credit Parties shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this Section 2.2(f), (v) their agreement to pay the Prepayment Premium is a material inducement to the Lenders to provide the Term Loan Commitments and make the Term Loan, and (vi) the Prepayment Premium represents a good faith, reasonable estimate and calculation of the lost profits or damages of the Lenders and that it would be impractical and extremely difficult to ascertain the actual amount of damages to the Lenders or profits lost by the Lenders as a result of such Prepayment Premium Trigger Event.

2.3.            Payment of Interest on the Credit Extensions.

(a)            Interest Rate.

(i)            Subject to Section 2.3(b) and Section 2.3(e), the principal amount outstanding under the Term Loan shall accrue interest at a per annum rate equal to Adjusted Term SOFR or the Base Rate, as the case may be, plus the Applicable Margin, which interest shall be payable quarterly in arrears in accordance with this Section 2.3.

(ii)            Interest shall accrue on the Term Loan commencing on, and including, the day on which the Term Loan is made, and shall not accrue on the Term Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Term Loan or such portion is paid.

(b)            Default Rate. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all Obligations shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a per annum rate equal to 2.00%, plus the rate otherwise applicable to the Term Loan or other Obligations as provided in Sections 2.3(a) (the “Default Rate”), and such interest shall be payable entirely in cash on demand of the Blackstone Representative. Payment or acceptance of the increased interest rate provided in this Section 2.3(b) is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of the Agent, the Blackstone Representative or the Lenders.

(c)            360-Day Year. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed.

(d)            Payments.

(i)            Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all loan payments (and any other payments hereunder) by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ hereunder shall be made on the date specified herein to such bank account of the Agent as set forth on Schedule I to the Agent Fee Letter (which information may be updated by the Agent from time to time after the Closing Date). Interest is payable quarterly on the Interest Date of each calendar quarter, beginning on December 31, 2023, on the date of any payment or prepayment or acceleration, in whole or in part, of principal outstanding on the Term Loans, on the principal amount so paid or prepaid or accelerated, and on the Term Loan Maturity Date. Payments of principal or interest received after 2:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on such date are considered received at the opening of business on the next Business Day. When a payment is due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment is due the next Business Day and additional fees or interest, as applicable, shall continue to accrue until paid. All payments to be made by Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document, including payments of principal and interest made hereunder and pursuant to any other Loan Document, and all fees, expenses, indemnities and reimbursements, shall be made without set-off, recoupment or counterclaim, in lawful money of the United States and in immediately available funds. The Agent shall distribute such payments on a pro rata basis to each relevant Lender promptly upon receipt in like funds as received, net of any amounts owing by such Lender pursuant to Section 12.14.

(ii)            If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein or required by court order, any Lender shall obtain payment in respect of any principal or interest on account of the Term Loans made by it any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) in excess of its ratable share (or other share contemplated hereunder) thereof, such Lender shall (A) immediately notify the Agent of such fact, and (B) hold such amounts in trust for the benefit of Agent and the other Lenders and promptly pay or deliver to the Agent, for application to the Term Loan pursuant to this Agreement, such excess amounts in the form received. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement as in effect from time to time (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender) or (y) 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 permitted hereunder.

(e)            Inability to Determine Rates. Subject to Section 2.9, if, on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any SOFR Loan:

(i)            the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Adjusted Term SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof, or

(ii)            the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a SOFR Loan or a conversion thereto or a continuation thereof that Adjusted Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed SOFR Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, and the Required Lenders have provided notice of such determination to the Agent,

the Agent will promptly so notify Borrower and each Lender. Upon notice thereof by the Agent to Borrower, any obligation of the Lenders to make SOFR Loans, and any right of Borrower to continue SOFR Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to SOFR Loans, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans or affected Interest Periods) until the Agent (with respect to clause (ii), at the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans or affected Interest Periods) or, failing that, Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein and (ii) any outstanding affected SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted into Base Rate Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period. Upon any such conversion, Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted, together with additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.5. Subject to Section 2.9, if the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Adjusted Term SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof on any given day, the interest rate on Base Rate Loans shall be determined by the Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate” until the Agent revokes such determination.

(f)            Term SOFR Conforming Changes. In connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR, the Agent (in consultation with ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and the Blackstone Representative) shall endeavor in good faith to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. The Agent will promptly notify the Lenders and Borrower of the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR.

(g)            Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR or Term SOFR, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR or Term SOFR, then, upon notice thereof by such Lender to Borrower (through the Agent), (a) any obligation of the Lenders to make SOFR Loans, and any right of Borrower to continue SOFR Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to SOFR Loans, shall be suspended, and (b) the interest rate on which Loans shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “ABR”, in each case until such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ notifies the Agent and Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) Borrower shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, upon demand from any Lender (with a copy to the Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all SOFR Loans to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate”), on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if all affected Lenders may lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Loans to such day, or immediately, if any Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Loans to such day, and (ii) if necessary to avoid such illegality, the Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate,” in each case until the Agent is advised in writing by each affected Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR or Term SOFR. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.5.

2.4.            Expenses. Borrower shall pay to the Agent and each Lender all Lender and Agent Expenses incurred through and after the Closing Date, promptly after receipt of a written demand therefor by the Agent or such Lender, setting forth in reasonable detail such Lender and Agent Expenses.

2.5.            Requirements of Law; Increased Costs. In the event that any applicable Change in Law:

(a)            Does or shall subject the Agent or any Lender to any Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or the Term Loan made hereunder (except, in each case, Indemnified Taxes, Taxes described in clause (b) through (e) of the definition of Excluded Taxes, and Connection Income Taxes);

(b)            Does or shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, capital requirement, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirements against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, the Agent or any Lender; or

(c)            Does or shall impose on the Agent or any Lender any other condition (other than Taxes); and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the Agent or any Lender (as determined by such Person in good faith using calculation methods customary in the industry) of making, renewing or maintaining the Term Loan or to reduce any amount receivable in respect thereof or to reduce the rate of return on the capital of the Agent or any Lender or any Person controlling the Agent or any Lender,

then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay to the Agent or such Lender, as applicable, within thirty (30) days of its receipt of the certificate described below, any additional amounts necessary to compensate the Agent or such Lender for such additional cost or reduced amounts receivable or rate of return as reasonably determined by Agent or such Lender with respect to this Agreement or the Term Loan made hereunder. If the Agent or any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.5, it shall promptly notify Borrower (and such Lender shall promptly notify the Agent) in writing of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled, and a certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence containing the calculation thereof in reasonable detail submitted by the Agent or such Lender to Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The provisions hereof shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the outstanding Term Loan and all other Obligations. Failure or delay on the part of Agent or any Lender to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital under this Section 2.5 shall not constitute a waiver of the Agent’s or any Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that Borrower shall not be under any obligation to compensate the Agent or any Lender under this Section 2.5 with respect to increased costs or reductions with respect to any period prior to the date that is 180 days prior to the date of the delivery of the notice required pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph; provided, further, that if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

2.6.            Taxes; Withholding, Etc.

(a)            All sums payable by any Credit Party hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall (except to the extent required by Requirements of Law) be paid free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding on account of, any Tax imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority. In addition, Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Requirements of Law, or at the option of the Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, and indemnify and hold each Lender harmless from, Other Taxes, and as soon as practicable after the date of paying such sum, Borrower shall furnish to such Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.

(b)            If any Credit Party or any other Person is required by Requirements of Law to make any deduction or withholding on account of any Tax (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Credit Party) from any sum paid or payable by any Credit Party to the Agent or any Lender under any of the Loan Documents: (i) that Credit Party shall notify such the Agent or Lender, as applicable, in writing of any such requirement or any change in any such requirement promptly after a Credit Party becomes aware of it; (ii) that Credit Party shall be entitled to make any such withholding or deduction; (iii) that Credit Party shall timely pay any such Tax before the date on which penalties attach thereto, such payment to be made (if the liability to pay is imposed on any Credit Party) for its own account or (if that liability is imposed on such Lender, as the case may be) on behalf of and in the name of Lender the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Requirements of Law; (iv) if the Tax is an Indemnified Tax, the sum payable by such Credit Party in respect of which the relevant deduction, withholding or payment of Indemnified Tax is required shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of that deduction, withholding or payment (including any deductions for Indemnified Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.6(b)), such Lender receives on the due date a net sum equal to what it would have received had no such deduction, withholding or payment of Indemnified Tax been required or made; and (v) as soon as practicable after paying any sum from which it is required by Requirements of Law to make any deduction or withholding, Borrower shall deliver to each Lender evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender of such deduction, withholding or payment and of the remittance thereof to the relevant taxing or other Governmental Authority, including, if reasonably available, the original or certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment or a copy of the return reporting such payment.

(c)            Borrower shall indemnify each Lender or, as applicable (and without double counting), the Agent for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.6) payable or paid by such Lender or the Agent or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Lender or the Agent 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, and any indemnification payment pursuant to this Section 2.6(c) shall be made to the Agent or any Lender within thirty (30) days from written demand therefor, except that no payment shall be due from the Borrower under this Section 2.6(c) to the extent that the relevant Lender has been compensated by an increased payment under Section 2.6(b)(iv) above. In the case of the first and the second sentence of this Section 2.6(c), a certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ (with a copy to the Agent), or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of ▇▇▇▇▇▇, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d)            Payment of Interest

(i)            A Credit Party which is obliged to make a payment of interest to a Lender shall use all commercially reasonable efforts not to make any such payment of interest using any monies that would be subject that payment of interest to a tax deduction on account of Taxes imposed in the U.K.

(ii)            Without any prejudice to (d)(i) if a Credit Party intends to make any deduction or withholding on account of U.K. withholding tax from any sum paid or payable to the Agent or any Lender under any of the Loan Documents, that Credit Party shall provide written notice to the Agent of such intention no less than 20 Business Days prior to the date of such payment.

(iii)            If a Credit Party provides the notice as prescribed at (d) (ii) above, then a Lender may, in its sole discretion, through the provision of written notice to the Borrower no later than 5 Business Days prior to the date of payment of that interest, elect to defer the payment of that interest until a date of payment of interest.

(e)            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 Borrower and the Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or the Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrower or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower or the Agent as will enable Borrower or the 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 2.6(e)(ii)(1), (ii)(2), (ii)(3) and (ii)(4) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii)            Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ is a U.S. Borrower,

(1)            any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Borrower and the Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or the Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(2)            any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and the 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 Borrower or the Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(a)            in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(b)            executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(c)            in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the IRC, (x) a certificate substantially in a form reasonably acceptable to Borrower to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the IRC, a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the IRC, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the IRC (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or

(d)            to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate in a form reasonably acceptable to Borrower, 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 in a form reasonably acceptable to Borrower on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(3)            any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and the 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 Borrower or the Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit Borrower or the Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(4)            If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the IRC, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to Borrower and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or the Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the IRC) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or the Agent as may be necessary for Borrower and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has complied with such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (4), “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 Borrower and the Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(f)            If a Credit Party is required to make a deduction or withholding on account of any Tax (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Credit Party) from any sum paid or payable by any Credit Party to the Agent or any Lender under any of the Loan Documents, and without any prejudice to the application of Section 2.6 (b) (iv) and specifically the timing of any payment made pursuant to 2.6 (b) (iv), then the Credit Party and relevant Lender shall cooperate in good faith to try to obtain an applicable exemption from such deduction or withholding on account of Tax including, but not limited to an applicable relief under a relevant double tax treaty and the exemptions from U.K. withholding tax as set out in sections 882 and 888A of the ITA.

(g)            If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.6 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.6), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph (g) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(h)            VAT

(i)            All amounts expressed to be payable under this Agreement by any party to this Agreement (for the purposes of this Section 2.6(h) a “Party”) to a Secured Party which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for any supply for VAT purposes are deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on that supply, and accordingly, subject to paragraph (ii) below, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Secured Party to any Party and such Secured Party is required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, that Party must pay to such Secured Party (in addition to and at the same time as paying any other consideration for such supply) an amount equal to the amount of the VAT (and such Secured Party must promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to that Party).

(ii)            If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Secured Party (the “Supplier”) to any other Secured Party (the “Recipient”) under this Agreement, and any Party other than the Recipient (the “Relevant Party”) is required by the terms of this Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for that supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse or indemnify the Recipient in respect of that consideration):

(1)            (where the Supplier is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT) the Relevant Party must also pay to the Supplier (at the same time as paying that amount) an additional amount equal to the amount of the VAT. The Recipient must (where this paragraph (i) applies) promptly pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment the Recipient receives from the relevant tax authority which the Recipient reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply; and

(2)            (Where the Recipient is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT) the Relevant Party must promptly, following demand from the Recipient, pay to the Recipient an amount equal to the VAT chargeable on that supply but only to the extent that the Recipient reasonably determines that it is not entitled to credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of that VAT.

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

(iv)            Any reference in this Section 2.6(h) to any Party shall, at any time when such Party is treated as a member of a group for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the representative member of such group at such time (the term “representative member” to have the same meaning as in the U.K. Value Added Tax Act 1994).

(v)            In relation to any supply made by a Secured Party to any Party under this Agreement, if reasonably requested by such Secured Party, that Party must promptly provide such Secured Party with details of that Party's VAT registration and such other information as is reasonably requested in connection with such Secured Party's VAT reporting requirements in relation to such supply.

(i)            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 Borrower and the Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(j)            If (a) a tax deduction is required by law in respect of a payment made by a Credit Party to a purported U.K. Treaty Lender or a Blackstone Partial Treaty Lender under this agreement because on the date of the interest payment HMRC have not given the Credit Party authority to make payments without a deduction on account of tax imposed by the United Kingdom and such authority is required in order for the Credit Party to pay such interest to a particular lender without such a tax deduction (or the payment cannot be made without such a tax deduction under published HMRC guidance); (b) the Credit Party has made such tax deduction together with an additional payment pursuant to Section 2.6(b)(iv) to such Lender; and (c) it subsequently transpires that the Lender was not a U.K. Treaty Lender or Blackstone Partial Treaty Lender other than as a result of any change after the date such Lender became a lender in (or in the interpretation, administration, or application of) any law or relevant U.K. Treaty or any published practice or published concession of any relevant taxing authority and the Lender is satisfied that such Tax deduction should have been made, then such Lender undertakes, upon a request by the Credit Party, to promptly reimburse that Credit Party.

2.7.         Fees. Borrower shall pay the amounts required to be paid in the Lender Fee Letter and the Agent Fee Letter in the manner and at the times required by each such letter.

2.8.         Register; Term Loan Note.

(a)            Register. The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, shall maintain a copy of each Assignment and Assumption and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Term Loan Commitments of, and principal amounts (and related stated interest amounts) of the Term Loan and the amounts due owing to each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, the Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower, Agent and any Lender (solely with respect to itself), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Any assignment of any interest in the Term Loan or other obligation hereunder shall be effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the Register. This Section 2.8 and Section 11.1 shall be construed so that the Term Loan is at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Section 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the IRC and any related Treasury Regulations (or any other relevant or successor provisions of the IRC or of such Treasury Regulations).

(b)            Term Loan Note. Borrower shall execute and deliver to each Lender, upon request, to evidence such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Term Loan, a Term Loan Note.

2.9.          Benchmark Replacement Setting.

(a)            Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Agent, the Blackstone Representative and Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5^th) Business Day after the Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all affected ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Borrower so long as the Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. No replacement of a Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 2.9(a) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

(b)            Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Agent (in consultation with Borrower and the Blackstone Representative) will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(c)            Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Agent will promptly notify Borrower and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Agent will promptly notify Borrower of the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 2.9(d). Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.9, 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 2.9.

(d)            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), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate) and either (A) 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 Agent (in consultation with the Blackstone Representative) in its reasonable discretion or (B) the administrator of such Benchmark or 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 not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks, then the Agent (in consultation with the Blackstone Representative) may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable, non-representative, non-compliant or non-aligned tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Agent (in consultation with the Blackstone Representative) may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(e)            Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, (i) Borrower may revoke any pending request for a SOFR Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans and (ii) any outstanding affected SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted to Base Rate Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of Base Rate.

In connection with this Agreement, each Credit Party has delivered to the Agent and the Lenders a completed certificate signed by such Credit Party (with respect to all Credit Parties, collectively, the “Perfection Certificate”).

(a)            (i) its exact legal name is that indicated on the Perfection Certificate and on the signature page hereof; (ii) it is an organization of the type and is organized in the jurisdiction set forth in the Perfection Certificate; (iii) the Perfection Certificate accurately sets forth its organizational identification number or accurately states that it has none; (iv) the Perfection Certificate accurately sets forth as of the Closing Date its place of business, or, if more than one, its chief executive office as well as its mailing address (if different than its chief executive office); (v) it (and each of its predecessors) has not, in the five (5) years prior to the Closing Date, changed its jurisdiction of formation, organizational structure or type, or any organizational number assigned by its jurisdiction; and (vi) all other information set forth on the Perfection Certificate pertaining to it and each of its Subsidiaries is accurate and complete in all material respects as of the Closing Date.

(c)            A true, correct and complete list of each pending, registered or issued Patent, Copyright and Trademark that is owned or co-owned by, or exclusively or non-exclusively licensed to, any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries, including its name/title, current owner, registration, patent or application number, and registration or application date, is set forth on Schedule 4.6(c) of the Disclosure Letter. Schedule 4.6(c) of the Disclosure Letter includes all Product IP that is a pending, registered or issued Patent, Copyright or Trademark. Each item of owned or co-owned Product IP is subsisting and no such item of Product IP has lapsed, expired, been cancelled or invalidated or become abandoned and, to the Knowledge of the Credit Parties, each such item of Product IP is valid, enforceable and without material defects. To the Knowledge of the Credit Parties, each item of Product IP that is licensed from another Person is valid and subsisting and no such item of Product IP has lapsed, expired, been cancelled or invalidated, or become abandoned. To the Knowledge of the Credit Parties, each item of Product IP is valid, enforceable and without material defects. The Credit Parties or their Subsidiaries own or control all Product IP that is material to the research, development, manufacture, production, use, commercialization, marketing, importing, storage, transport, offer for sale, distribution or sale of any Product in the Territory. To the Knowledge of the Credit Parties, there are no undisclosed published patents, patent applications, articles or prior art references that would reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the patent protection for any Product. Each Person who has or has had any rights in or to Product IP or trade secrets owned by any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries, including each inventor named on the Patents within such owned Product IP filed by any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries, has executed an agreement assigning his, her or its entire right, title and interest in and to such owned Product IP and such trade secrets, and the inventions, improvements, ideas, discoveries, writings, works of authorship, information and other intellectual property embodied, described or claimed therein, to the Credit Party or its Subsidiaries as applicable and to the Knowledge of the Credit Parties no such Person has any contractual or other obligation that would preclude or conflict with such assignment or the exploitation of any Product in the Territory or entitle such Person to ongoing payments. All Product IP is exclusively owned by the Credit Party or its Subsidiaries, as applicable, and, to the Knowledge of the Credit Parties, no circumstances or grounds exist that would give rise to a claim of a third party to any rights in any such owned Product IP. As of the Closing Date, all of the Material IP owned, co-owned, or licensed to any Credit Party or any of its subsidiaries is Product IP.

(d)            (i) Each Credit Party possesses valid title to all Product IP for which it is listed as the owner or co-owner, as applicable, on Schedule 4.6(c) of the Disclosure Letter; (ii) there are no Liens on any Product IP of the Credit Parties or their Subsidiaries, other than Permitted Liens that do not secure Indebtedness for borrowed money; and (iii) no Subsidiary that is not a Credit Party holds any Product IP. There are no currently asserted claims nor unasserted claims of any Person disputing the inventorship or ownership of any Product IP.

(e)            There are no maintenance, annuity or renewal fees that are currently overdue beyond their allotted grace period for any Product IP that is owned by or licensed to any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries, nor have any applications or registrations therefor lapsed or become abandoned, been cancelled or expired that would result in a material loss of rights relating to such Product.

(f)            There are no unpaid fees or royalties under any Material Contract that have become due, or are expected to become overdue. Each Material Contract is in full force and effect and is legal, valid, binding, and enforceable in accordance with its respective terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles relating to enforceability. Neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries, as applicable, is in breach of or default (with or without notice of the passage of time) under any Material Contract to which it is a party or may otherwise be bound, and to the Knowledge of the Credit Parties, no circumstances or grounds exist that would give rise to a claim of breach or right of rescission, termination, non-renewal, revision, or amendment of any of the Material Contracts, including the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(g)            Except as set forth on Schedule 4.6(g) of the Disclosure Letter, no payments by any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries are due to any other Person in respect of any Product IP of the Credit Parties and their Subsidiaries, other than those fees payable to patent offices in connection with the prosecution and maintenance of any Product IP of the Credit Parties and associated attorney fees, none of which are past due.

(h)            No Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries has undertaken or omitted to undertake any acts, and, to the Knowledge of the Credit Parties, no circumstance or grounds exist that would invalidate or reduce, in whole or in part, the enforceability or scope of (i) Product IP in any manner that could reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the patent protection for any Product, including any material loss of rights, or (ii) in the case of Product IP owned or co-owned or exclusively or non-exclusively licensed by any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries, such Credit Party’s or Subsidiary’s entitlement to own or license and exploit such Product IP. To the Knowledge of the Credit Parties, no person having a duty of candor to a Patent Office, including to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, has withheld, misrepresented, or concealed a material fact or prior art reference from the Patent Office that would affect the validity, scope or enforceability of any Product IP of the Credit Parties and their Subsidiaries.

(i)            Except as set forth on Schedule 4.7 of the Disclosure Letter or advised pursuant to Section 5.2(b), there is no pending, decided or settled opposition, interference proceeding, reissue proceeding, reexamination proceeding, inter-partes review proceeding, post-grant review proceeding, derivation proceeding, cancellation proceeding, injunction, lawsuit, hearing, investigation, complaint, arbitration, mediation, demand, International Trade Commission investigation, decree, or any other dispute, disagreement, or claim, in each case alleged in writing to Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (collectively referred to hereinafter as “Specified Disputes”), nor has any such Specified Dispute been threatened in writing, in each case challenging the legality, validity, scope, enforceability, inventorship or ownership of any Product IP of the Credit Parties and their Subsidiaries.

7.9.          Loan Documents; Collateral. Any material provision of any Loan Document shall for any reason cease to be valid and binding on or enforceable against any Credit Party, or any Credit Party shall so state in writing or bring an action to limit its obligations or liabilities thereunder; or any Collateral Document shall for any reason (other than pursuant to the terms thereof) cease to create a valid security interest in any portion of the Collateral having a fair market value, together with all such Collateral that is not subject to a valid security interest, in excess of $20,000,000, purported to be covered thereby or such security interest shall for any reason (other than pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents) cease to be a perfected and first priority security interest in any portion of the Collateral having a fair market value, together with all such Collateral that is not subject to a valid security interest, in excess of $20,000,000 subject thereto, subject only to Permitted Liens, in each case, other than as a direct result of any action by the Agent or any Lender or the failure of the Agent or any Lender to perform an obligation under the Loan Documents.

Any document, instrument, or agreement evidencing the subordination of any Subordinated Debt shall for any reason be revoked or invalidated or otherwise cease to be in full force and effect, any Credit Party shall contest in any manner the validity or enforceability thereof or deny that it has any further liability or obligation thereunder, or the Obligations shall for any reason be subordinated or shall not have the priority contemplated by this Agreement, other than with respect to Permitted Liens.

7.12.       Regulatory Matters. If any of the following occurs: (A) any Credit Party or any Subsidiary of a Credit Party receives written notification from FDA, EMA or any other Governmental Authority equivalent to the FDA or EMA and recognized as the health authority with primary responsibility for granting marketing approval in a foreign country which written notification is reasonably likely to result in the Product being withdrawn from the market and/or the Product approval and/or marketing authorization to be withdrawn, if the revenue attributable to the affected Product in the affected market constitutes more than 25% of Consolidated Revenue of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, calculated as of the four fiscal quarter period most recently ended prior to the receipt of the written notification for which financial statements have been delivered pursuant to Section 5.2(a); (B) FDA, CMS, EMA or any other Government Authority initiates enforcement action, including without limitations, a Warning Letter, seizure, an injunction, or administrative procedure, against any Credit Party or any Subsidiary of a Credit Party with respect to the Products or the manufacturing facilities therefor, that causes the Credit Party or Subsidiary of a Credit Party to discontinue or suspend the sale of, or withdraw, any of its Products or causes a delay in the approval or offering of any Product, which discontinuation, withdrawal or delay would reasonably be expected to last for more than 90 days (or, if a resolution to such discontinuation , suspension of sale, withdrawal or delay is being pursued in good faith through appropriate proceedings diligently conducted, and solely if the applicable event or circumstance has not actually resulted in a Material Adverse Change at the time, an additional 30 days thereafter), in each case if the impact on revenue resulting from such discontinuation, suspension, withdrawal or delay, would be more than 25% of Consolidated Revenue calculated as of the four fiscal quarter period most recently ended prior to the initiation of the enforcement action for which financial statements have been delivered pursuant to Section 5.2(a); (C) any Credit Party recalls any of its Products that would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change; or (D) any Credit Party enters into a settlement agreement with the FDA, CMS, EMA or any other Governmental Authority that would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.

8.             RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UPON AN EVENT OF DEFAULT

8.1.          Rights and Remedies. If any Event of Default occurs, the Agent shall at the direction of the Required Lenders, take any or all of the following actions:

(a)          declare all Obligations (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Prepayment Premium, as applicable) immediately due and payable (but if an Event of Default described in Section 7.5 occurs all Obligations, including the Prepayment Premium, as applicable, are automatically and immediately due and payable without any action by the Agent), whereupon all Obligations for principal, interest, premium or otherwise (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Prepayment Premium, as applicable) shall become due and payable by Borrower without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, which are all expressly waived by the Credit Parties hereby;

(b)          stop advancing money or extending credit for ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s benefit under this Agreement;

(c)          settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with Account Debtors for amounts on terms and in any order that Agent (at the direction of the Blackstone Representative) considers advisable, notify any Person owing the Credit Parties money of the Agent’s security interest in such funds, and verify the amount of the Collateral Accounts;

(d)          make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or reasonable to protect the Collateral or Agent’s security interest in favor and for the benefit of the Agent and the other Secured Parties in the Collateral. The Credit Parties shall assemble the Collateral if the Agent (at the direction of the Blackstone Representative) requests and make it available as Agent (at the direction of the Blackstone Representative) designates. The Agent (at the direction of the Blackstone Representative) or its agents or representatives may enter premises where the Collateral is located, take and maintain possession of any part of the Collateral, and pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any Lien which appears to be prior or superior to its security interest in favor and for the benefit of the Agent and the other Secured Parties and pay all expenses incurred. The Credit Parties grant the Agent a license to enter and occupy (and for its agents or representatives to enter and occupy) any of its premises, without charge, to exercise any of the Agent’s rights or remedies;

(e)          apply to the Obligations (i) any balances and deposits of the Credit Parties it holds, or (ii) any amount held by the Agent or the Lenders owing to or for the credit or the account of any Credit Party;

(f)          ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell the Collateral. With respect to any and all Intellectual Property owned by any Credit Party and included in Collateral, each Credit Party hereby grants to the Agent, for the benefit of all Secured Parties, as of the Closing Date, a non-exclusive, royalty-free license or other right to use, without charge, such Intellectual Property in advertising for sale and selling any Collateral and, in connection with the Agent’s exercise of its rights under this Section 8.1, the Credit Parties’ rights under all licenses and all franchise Contracts inure to the benefit of all Secured Parties.

(g)          place a “hold” on any account maintained with the Agent or deliver a notice of exclusive control, any entitlement order, or other directions or instructions pursuant to any Control Agreement or similar agreements providing control of any Collateral;

(h)          demand and receive possession of the Books of the Credit Parties regarding Collateral; and

(i)           exercise all rights and remedies available to the Agent and each Lender under the Collateral Documents or any other Loan Documents or at law or equity, including all remedies provided under the Code (including disposal of the Collateral pursuant to the terms thereof).

8.2.          Power of Attorney. Each Credit Party hereby irrevocably appoints the Agent and any Related Party thereof as its lawful attorney-in-fact, exercisable upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to: (a) endorse such Credit Party’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (b) sign such Credit Party’s name on any invoice or bill of lading for any Account or drafts against Account Debtors; (c) settle and adjust disputes and claims about the Collateral Accounts directly with depository banks where the Collateral Accounts are maintained, for amounts and on terms the Agent (at the direction of the Blackstone Representative) determines reasonable; (d) make, settle, and adjust all claims under such Credit Party’s products liability or general liability insurance policies maintained in the United States regarding Collateral; (e) pay, contest or settle any Lien, charge, encumbrance, security interest, and adverse claim in or to the Collateral, or any judgment based thereon, or otherwise take any action to terminate or discharge the same; and (f) transfer the Collateral into the name of the Agent or a third party as the Code permits. Each Credit Party hereby appoints the Agent, any Related Party thereof and their designees as its lawful attorney-in-fact to file or record any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of the Agent’s security interest in favor and for the benefit of the Agent and the other Secured Parties in the Collateral regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred until all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) have been satisfied in full in cash in immediately available funds and the Agent or any Lender is not under any further obligation to make Credit Extensions hereunder. The foregoing appointment of the Agent and any Related Party thereof as each Credit Party’s attorney in fact, and all of the Agent’s (or such Related Party’s) rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) have been fully repaid in cash in immediately available funds and the Agent’s and each Lenders’ obligation to provide Credit Extensions terminates.

8.3.          Application of Payments and Proceeds Upon Default. During the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent shall upon the direction of Required Lenders, apply any and all payments received by Agent in respect of any Obligation in accordance with clauses first through sixth below. All payments received by Agent in respect of the Obligations after any or all of the Obligations have been accelerated (so long as such acceleration has not been rescinded), including proceeds of Collateral, shall be applied as follows:

(i)          First, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and all other amounts (other than principal and interest, but including Lender and Agent Expenses) payable to the Agent in its capacity as such;

(ii)         Second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal and interest, but including Lender and Agent Expenses) payable to the Lenders, ratably among them in proportion to the amounts described in this clause Second payable to them;

(iii)        Third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest on the Term Loan and any fees or premiums (including the Prepayment Premium), ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Third payable to them;

(iv)        Fourth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Term Loan and any breakage, termination or other payment Obligations, ratably among the Lender in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Fourth payable to them;

(v)            Fifth, to the payment of all other Obligations (other than a Defaulting Lender) that are due and payable to Secured Parties (other than Agent) on such date), in each case, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such Obligations owing to the Secured Parties on such date;

(vi)           Sixth, to payment of any Obligations owed to Defaulting Lenders; and

(vii)          Last, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been paid in full, in cash in immediately available funds, to Borrower or as otherwise required by Law.

8.4.        Agent’s Liability for Collateral. Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Agent deals with its own property consisting of similar instruments or interests. Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall not be liable or responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage to the Collateral; or (c) any act or default of any other Person. In no event shall the Agent or any Lender have any liability for any diminution in the value of the Collateral for any reason. The Credit Parties bear all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral.

8.5.        No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. The Agent’s or the Lenders’ failure, at any time or times, to require strict performance by any Credit Party of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall not waive, affect, or diminish any right of the Agent or any Lender thereafter to demand strict performance and compliance herewith or therewith. No waiver hereunder shall be effective unless signed by the party granting the waiver and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it is given. The Agent’s and the Lenders’ rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative. The Agent and the Lenders have all rights and remedies provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. The exercise by the Agent or any Lender of one right or remedy is not an election and shall not preclude the Agent or any Lender from exercising any other remedy under this Agreement or other remedy available at law or in equity, and the waiver by the Agent (at the direction of the Blackstone Representative) or the Lenders of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. The Agent’s or the Lenders’ delay in exercising any remedy is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence.

8.6.        Demand Waiver. Each Credit Party waives demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees held by the Agent on which any Credit Party is liable.

9.            NOTICES.

All notices, consents, requests, approvals, demands, or other communication by any party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document must be in writing and shall be deemed to have been validly served, given, or delivered: (a) upon the earlier of actual receipt and three (3) Business Days after deposit in the U.S. mail, first class, registered or certified mail return receipt requested, with proper postage prepaid; (b) upon transmission, when sent by electronic mail or facsimile transmission; (c) one (1) Business Day after deposit with a reputable overnight courier with all charges prepaid; or (d) when delivered, if hand-delivered by messenger, all of which shall be addressed to the party to be notified and sent to the address, facsimile number, or email address (if any) indicated on Schedule 9 of the Disclosure Letter.

The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.” The Agent Parties (as defined below) do not warrant the adequacy of the Platform and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Communications. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Agent Party in connection with the Communications or the Platform. In no event shall the Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender, or any other Person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s or the Agent’s transmission of communications through the Platform. “Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material provided by or on behalf of the Borrower or any other Credit Party pursuant to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated therein that is distributed to the Agent or any Lender by means of electronic communications pursuant to this Section, including through the Platform.

The Borrower hereby acknowledges that certain of the Lenders (each, a “Public Lender”) may have personnel who do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its Affiliates, or the respective securities of any of the foregoing, and who may be engaged in investment and other market-related activities with respect to such Persons’ securities. The Borrower hereby agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to identify that portion of the materials and information provided by or on behalf of the Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (collectively, “Borrower Materials”) that may be distributed to the Public Lenders and that (i) all such Borrower Materials shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC,” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (ii) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Agent and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or any other Credit Party or their securities for purposes of U.S. federal and state securities laws; (iii) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Side Information;” and (iv) the Agent shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public Side Information”. Each Public Lender will designate one or more representatives that shall be permitted to receive information that is not designated as being available for Public Lenders.

10.         CHOICE OF LAW, VENUE, AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER

the Loan Documents shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to any principles of conflicts of law that could require the application of the law of any other jurisdiction. Each party hereto submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of 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 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 Requirements of Law, in such Federal court; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to operate to preclude the Agent or any Lender from bringing suit or taking other legal action in any other jurisdiction to realize on the Collateral or any other security for the Obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court order in favor of the Agent or any Lender. Each Credit Party expressly submits and consents in advance to such jurisdiction in any action or suit commenced in any such court, and each Credit Party hereby waives any objection that it may have based upon lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue, or forum non conveniens and hereby consents to the granting of such legal or equitable relief as is deemed appropriate by such court. Each Credit Party hereby waives personal service of the summons, complaints, and other process issued in such action or suit and agrees that service of such summons, complaints, and other process may be made by registered or certified mail addressed to such party at the address set forth in (or otherwise provided in accordance with the terms of) Section 9 of this Agreement and that service so made shall be deemed completed upon the earlier to occur of such party’s actual receipt thereof or three (3) days after deposit in the U.S. mails, proper postage prepaid.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH PARTY HERETO WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF DUTY AND ALL OTHER CLAIMS.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Agent in the Register, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption by Agent, (1) the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and (2) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto, but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.5, 2.6, and 11.2 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment and will continue to be liable with respect to obligations that survive the termination of this Agreement, including such assigning Lender’s obligations under Section 12). Upon request, and the surrender by the assigning Lender of its Note, Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this clause (b) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with clause (c) below.

(c)           In the case of a participation granted by a Lender to any third party, (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of its obligations hereunder, (iii) Agent and Borrower shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, (iv) Borrower shall not have any rights to consent to such participation, and (v) any agreement or instrument pursuant to which such Lender sells such participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification, or other modification hereto, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Borrower agrees that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.5 and 2.6 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.6(e) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.6(e) shall be delivered to the Agent)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender that had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) above; provided that, with respect to any participation, such participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.5 or 2.6 than the Lender (the party that participated the interest) would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent of any entitlement to receive a greater payment resulting from a Change in Law that occurs after such participant acquired the applicable participation.

(d)           The Agent shall record any Lender Transfer in the Register. The Agent shall provide Borrower with written notice of a Lender Transfer delivered no later than five (5) Business Days after the date on which such Lender Transfer is consummated. Any Lender may grant a participation in all or any part of, or any interest in, Lender’s obligations, rights or benefits under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including with respect to the Term Loans. For the avoidance of doubt, if a Lender sells a participation it shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Term Loan or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided, however, that the Lender shall have no obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any commitments, loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(e)           Any attempted transfer, pledge or assignment of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any rights or obligations hereunder or thereunder in violation of this Section 11.1 shall be null and void.

11.2.      Indemnification; Lender and Agent Expenses.

(a)           Each Credit Party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Agent, each Lender and their respective Affiliates and Approved Funds (and its or their respective successors and assigns) and each manager, member, partner, controlling Person, director, officer, employee, agent or sub-agent, advisor and affiliate thereof (each such Person, an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities; provided, however, that (i) no Credit Party shall have an obligation to any Indemnified Person hereunder with respect to any Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the bad faith (other than with respect to the Agent and its Related Parties), gross negligence or willful misconduct of that Indemnified Person (or its Affiliates, Approved Funds or controlling Persons or their respective directors, officers, managers, partners, members, agents, sub-agents or advisors), in each case, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, (ii) Borrower shall have no obligation to any Indemnified Person hereunder with respect to any Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities arise from a material breach of any funding obligation of such Indemnified Person hereunder (other than against the Agent in its capacity as such), (iii) no Credit Party shall have an obligation to any Indemnified Person hereunder with respect to any Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities arise from any claim by one Indemnified Person against another Indemnified Person (other than against the Agent in its capacity as such) that does not relate to any act or omission of any Credit Party, and (iv) no Credit Party shall be liable for any settlement of any claim or proceeding effected by any Indemnified Person without the prior written consent of such Credit Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), but if settled with such consent or if there shall be a final judgment against an Indemnified Person, each of the Credit Parties shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless such Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment in the manner set forth in this Agreement. This Section 11.2(a) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements arising from any non-Tax claim.

(b)           To the extent permitted by Requirements of Law, the Borrower and each Credit Party shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against the Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), any Lender and any Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Protected Person”), on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.

(c)           Borrower shall pay, promptly following written demand therefor (including documentation to reasonably support such request) all Lender and Agent Expenses of the Agent and each Lender.

11.3.      Severability of Provisions. In case any provision in or obligation hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

11.4.      [Reserved].

11.5.      Amendments in Writing; Integration. No amendment or modification of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (other than (i) the Agent Fee Letter or (ii) any Control Agreement, which may be amended in writing by the Agent and the applicable Credit Party and the Lender Fee Letter, which may be amended in writing by the Blackstone Representative and the applicable Credit Party), or waiver, discharge or termination of any obligation hereunder or thereunder, no approval or consent hereunder or thereunder (including any consent to any departure by Borrower or any other Credit Party herefrom or therefrom), shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (on its own behalf and on behalf of each other Credit Party), the Required Lenders and the Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders); provided, however, that no such amendment, modification, waiver, discharge or termination contemplated in clauses (i) through (vi) shall, unless in writing and signed by all the Lenders expressly set forth therein, in addition to the Required Lenders, the Agent (or by the Agent acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) and Borrower, do any of the following:

(i)              extend or increase the Term Loan Commitments or Term Loan of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender (it being understood that a waiver of any condition precedent set forth in Section 3 or of any Default, Event of Default, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of the Term Loan or Term Loan Commitment shall not constitute an extension or increase of the Term Loan or Term Loan Commitment of any Lender;

(ii)             postpone any date scheduled for, or reduce the amount of, any payment of principal, interest, fees, premiums (including the Prepayment Premium), or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Documents, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, it being understood that the waiver of (or amendment to the terms of) any mandatory prepayment of the Term Loan shall not constitute a postponement of any date scheduled for the payment of principal or interest;

(iii)            reduce or forgive the principal of, or the rate of interest specified herein on, the Term Loan, or any fees, premiums (including the Prepayment Premium) or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document (or extend the timing of payments of such fees or other amounts) without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to amend the definition of “Default Rate” or to waive any obligation of Borrower to pay interest at the Default Rate;

(iv)           amend, modify or eliminate (w) this Section 11.5, (x) the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision specifying the number of Lenders or portion of the Term Loan required to take any action under the Loan Documents, (y) any provision set forth in any Loan Document that alters the pro rata sharing provisions amongst the Lenders or (z) Section 8.3, in each case, without the written consent of each Lender;

(v)             unless otherwise permitted under the Agreement, release all or substantially all of the Collateral in any transaction or series of related transactions, without the written consent of each applicable Lender; or

(vi)            unless otherwise permitted under the Agreement, release all or substantially all of the Guarantors (or all or substantially all of the aggregate value of the Guarantees), without the written consent of each applicable Lender;

and provided, further, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Agent in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights, obligations, immunities, indemnities or duties of, or any fees or other amounts payable to, the Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or otherwise amend, modify or eliminate any provisions of Section 12.

(b)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 11.5, if the Agent, Blackstone Representative and Borrower shall have jointly identified an obvious error (including an incorrect cross-reference) or any error or omission of a technical or immaterial nature, in each case, in any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any exhibit, schedule or other attachment to any Loan Document), then the Agent (at the direction of the Blackstone Representative) and Borrower or any other relevant Credit Party shall be permitted to amend such provision and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Document.

(c)           This Agreement and the Loan Documents represent the entire agreement about this subject matter and supersede prior negotiations or agreements. All prior agreements, understandings, representations, warranties, and negotiations among the parties hereto about the subject matter of this Agreement and the Loan Documents merge into this Agreement and the Loan Documents.

11.6.      Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, is an original, and all taken together, constitute one Agreement.

11.7.      Survival. All covenants, representations and warranties made in this Agreement continue in full force until this Agreement has terminated pursuant to its terms and all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations and any other obligations which, by their terms, are to survive the termination of this Agreement) have been paid in full in cash in immediately available funds. The obligation of Borrower or any other the Credit Parties in Section 11.2 to indemnify Indemnified Persons shall survive until the statute of limitations with respect to such claim or cause of action shall have run.

11.8.      Confidentiality. Any information regarding the Credit Parties and their Subsidiaries and their businesses provided to the Agent or any Lender by or on behalf of any Credit Party pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be deemed “Confidential Information”; provided, however, that Confidential Information does not include information that is either: (i) in the public domain or in the possession of the Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates or Approved Funds or when disclosed to the Agent, a Lender or any of their respective Affiliates or Approved Funds, or becomes part of the public domain after disclosure to the Agent, a Lender or any of their respective Affiliates or Approved Funds, in each case, other than as a result of a breach by Agent, a Lender or any of their respective Affiliates or Approved Funds of the obligations under this Section 11.8; or (ii) disclosed to the Agent, any Lender or any of their Affiliates or Approved Funds by a third party if Agent, any Lender or any of their Affiliates and Approved Funds do not know that the third party is prohibited from disclosing the information. Each of the Agent and the Lenders shall not disclose any Confidential Information to a third party or use Confidential Information for any purpose other than the exercise of its rights and the performance of its duties or obligations under the Loan Documents. The foregoing in this Section 11.8 notwithstanding, each of the Agent and the Lenders may disclose Confidential Information: (a) to its and its Affiliates’ and Approved Funds’ directors, officers, members, managers, partners, current and prospective investors or funding sources, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors on a need to know basis (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential); (b) to prospective transferees or purchasers of any interest in the Credit Extensions (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with any proposed Lender Transfer); (c) as required by law, regulation, subpoena, or other order, provided, that (x) prior to any disclosure under this clause (c), the Agent and each Lender agrees to endeavor to provide Borrower with prior written notice thereof and with respect to any law, regulation, subpoena or other order, to the extent that the Agent or such Lender is permitted to provide such prior notice to Borrower pursuant to the terms hereof, and (y) any disclosure under this clause (c) shall be limited solely to that portion of the Confidential Information as may be specifically compelled by such law, regulation, subpoena or other order; (d) to the extent requested by regulators having jurisdiction over the Agent or any Lender or as otherwise required in connection with the Agent’s or any Lender’s examination or audit by such regulators; (e) as the Agent or any Lender considers reasonably necessary in exercising remedies under the Loan Documents; (f) to third-party service providers of the Agent or any Lender; (g) with the consent of Borrower; (h) in connection with public filings required to be made by the Agent or any Lender; (i) to any of Lender’s Related Parties, (j) to any rating agency in connection with rating Borrowers or the facilities hereunder (including shadow ratings) and the CUSIP Service Bureau, Clearpar or Loanserv or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the Loans (it being understood and agreed that any Lender may apply for the issuance of one or more CUSIP numbers with respect to any of the Loans without the consent of Borrower or the other Credit Parties), and (k) pursuant to periodic regulatory filings, including to any self-regulatory body such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners; provided, however, that the third parties to which Confidential Information is disclosed pursuant to clauses (a), (b), (f) (i) and (j) are bound by obligations of confidentiality and non-use that are no less restrictive than those contained herein. Nothing in any Loan Document shall prevent disclosure of any Confidential Information or other matter to the extent that preventing that disclosure would otherwise cause any transaction contemplated by the Loan Documents or any transaction carried out in connection with any transaction contemplated by the Loan Documents to become an arrangement in Part II A 1 of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ of Director 2011/16/EU.

The provisions of this Section 11.8 shall survive for a period of two (2) years following the date on which this Agreement terminates in accordance with the terms hereof.

(a)           Upon the payment in full of all Obligations, in cash in immediately available funds (other than inchoate indemnity obligations), and subject to the reinstatement provisions set forth in Section 8.1 of the Security Agreement, (i) the Collateral shall be automatically released from the security interests and Liens created by the Collateral Documents in favor of the Agent, for the benefit of itself and the Secured Parties, and (ii) each Guarantor shall be automatically released from its obligations to guaranty the Obligations pursuant to Article 2 of the Security Agreement.

(b)           At the time any Collateral is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any sale expressly permitted (other than a lease or license, and other than to a Person that is a Credit Party) hereunder or under any other Loan Document, such Collateral shall be automatically released from the security interests and Liens created by the Collateral Documents in favor of the Agent, for the benefit of itself and the Secured Parties.

(c)           No Guarantor shall be released from its guaranty of any Obligation prior to the payment in full of all Obligations, in cash in immediately available funds (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) unless all of the Equity Interests of such Guarantor owned by any Credit Party are sold or transferred (in a transaction or series of transactions) to a Person that is not a Credit Party in any sale or transaction expressly permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document.

11.10.    Right of Set-Off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under Requirements of Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and at any time thereafter during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Agent is hereby authorized by each Credit Party at any time or from time to time, without prior notice to any Credit Party, any such notice being hereby expressly waived by Borrower (on its own behalf and on behalf of each other Credit Party), to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including Indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, but not including trust accounts) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Agent or any Lender to or for the credit or the account of any Credit Party against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of any Credit Party to the Agent or any Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, including all claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected hereto or with any other Loan Document, irrespective of whether or not (a) the Agent or any Lender shall have made any demand hereunder or (b) the principal of or the interest on the Term Loan or any other amounts due hereunder shall have become due and payable pursuant to Section 2 and although such obligations and liabilities, or any of them, may be contingent or unmatured. The Agent agrees promptly to notify Borrower after any such set off and application made by the Agent; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set off and application.

11.11.    Marshalling; Payments Set Aside. Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Credit Party or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that any Credit Party makes a payment or payments to the Agent or any Lender, or the Agent or any Lender enforces any Liens or exercises its rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, any other state or federal law, common law or any equitable cause, then, to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or related thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or payments had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred. Each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect, and Agent’s Liens securing such obligation shall be effective, revived, and remain in full force and effect, in each case, as fully as if such recovered payment had not been made.

11.13.    Captions. Section headings herein are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part hereof for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect.

11.14.    Construction of Agreement. The parties hereto mutually acknowledge that they and their respective attorneys have participated in the preparation and negotiation of this Agreement. In cases of uncertainty, this Agreement shall be construed without regard to which of the parties hereto caused the uncertainty to exist.

11.15.    Third Parties. Nothing in this Agreement, whether express or implied, is intended to: (a) except as expressly provided in Section 11.2(a), confer any benefits, rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement on any Persons other than the express parties to it and their respective successors and permitted assigns; (b) relieve or discharge the obligation or liability of any Person not an express party to this Agreement; or (c) give any Person not an express party to this Agreement any right of subrogation or action against any party to this Agreement.

11.16.    No Advisory or Fiduciary Duty. The Agent and each Lender may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Credit Parties. Each Credit Party agrees that nothing in the Loan Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between the Agent and the Lenders, on the one hand, and such Credit Party, its Subsidiaries, and any of their respective stockholders or affiliates, on the other hand. Each Credit Party acknowledges and agrees that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Agent and the Lenders, on the one hand, and such Credit Party, its Subsidiaries and their respective affiliates, on the other hand, (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading to such transaction, each of the Agent and the Lenders are acting solely as a principal and not the advisor, agent or fiduciary of such Credit Party, its Subsidiaries or their respective affiliates, management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person, (iii) neither the Agent nor any Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Credit Party, its Subsidiaries or their respective affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether the Agent, any Lender or any of their respective affiliates has advised or is currently advising such Credit Party, its Subsidiaries or their respective affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to such Credit Party, its Subsidiaries or their respective affiliates except the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and (iv) each Credit Party, its Subsidiaries and their respective affiliates have consulted their own legal and financial advisors to the extent each deemed appropriate. Each Credit Party further acknowledges and agrees that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. Each Credit Party agrees that it will not claim that either the Agent or any Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to such Credit Party, its Subsidiaries or their respective affiliates in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

11.17.    Contractual recognition of bail-in. Notwithstanding any other term of any Loan Document or any other agreement, arrangement or understanding between the parties, each party acknowledges and accepts that any liability of any party to any other party under or in connection with the Loan Documents may be subject to Bail-In Action by the relevant Resolution Authority and acknowledges and accepts to be bound by the effect of:

(a)           any Bail-In Action in relation to any such liability, including (without limitation):

(i)              a reduction, in full or in part, in the principal amount, or outstanding amount due (including any accrued but unpaid interest) in respect of any such liability;

(ii)             a conversion of all, or part of, any such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership that may be issued to, or conferred on, it; and

(iii)            a cancellation of any such liability; and

11.18.    Currency Equivalents Generally.

(a)           For purposes of determining compliance with the provisions of this Agreement generally, any amount in a currency other than Dollars will be converted to Dollars in a manner consistent with that used in calculating net income in Borrower’s annual financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 5.2(a) at the time of determination; provided that no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred thereafter solely as a result of such changes in rates of exchange thereafter.

(b)           Each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Blackstone Representative may from time to time specify with Borrower’s consent to appropriately reflect a change in currency of any country and any relevant market convention or practice relating to such change in currency.

11.19.    Reinstatement. Each Credit Party agrees that, if any payment made by any Credit Party or other Person and applied to the Obligations is at any time annulled, avoided, set aside, rescinded, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential or otherwise required to be refunded or repaid, or the proceeds of any Collateral are required to be returned by any Secured Party to such Credit Party, its estate, trustee, receiver or any other party, including any Credit Party, under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or repayment, any Lien or other Collateral securing such liability shall be and remain in full force and effect, as fully as if such payment had never been made. If, prior to any of the foregoing, (a) any Lien or other Collateral granted pursuant to the Collateral Documents securing such Credit Party’s liability hereunder shall have been released or terminated by virtue of the foregoing or (b) any provision of the Guaranty hereunder shall have been terminated, cancelled or surrendered, such Lien, other Collateral or provision shall be reinstated in full force and effect and such prior release, termination, cancellation or surrender shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of such Credit Party in respect of any Lien or other Collateral securing such obligation or the amount of such payment.

11.20.    Restricted Licenses.

(a)           Notwithstanding any restrictions on transfers or encumbrances set forth in any Specified Intercompany Agreement, each of Borrower and U.K. OpCo intend for the Specified Intercompany Agreements to not constitute a Restricted License and, in connection therewith, hereby consent to the grant of a security interest in favor of the Agent in such other Person’s interests under each Specified Intercompany Agreement. Furthermore, each of Borrower and U.K. OpCo consent to the assignment by such other Person of its interests under each Specified Intercompany Agreement to the Agent or any designee in connection with any exercise of remedies permitted under the Loan Documents.

(b)           Each Credit Party hereby agrees that, following the Closing Date, it will not enter into, and shall not permit its Subsidiaries to enter into, as licensor any license agreement with any other Credit Party or a Subsidiary of a Credit Party as licensee, which prohibits or otherwise restricts the licensee from granting a security interest to the Agent in such licensee’s interest in such license agreement in a manner enforceable under Requirements of Law, except to the extent the licensor of such license is otherwise prohibited from permitting such security interest.

(a)           Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints Wilmington Trust, National Association to act on its behalf as the Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Agent, through its agents or employees, to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Section 12 (other than Section 12.6 (solely with respect to the removal and consent rights of Borrower set forth therein) and Section 12.10 (solely with respect to the requirement for execution, filing and other actions with respect to the Collateral Documents and other collateral documentation set forth therein)) are solely for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, and no Credit Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

In this connection, the Agent, as secured party and “collateral agent” and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Agent pursuant to Section 12.5 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Agent, shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of Section 2.4, Section 11 (including Section 11.2), and this Section 12, as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the secured party and “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Blackstone Representative and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Blackstone Representative) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent; provided that in no event shall any such successor Administrative Agent be a Defaulting Lender. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

12.7.       Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender further represents and warrants that it has reviewed each document made available to it in connection with this Agreement and has acknowledged and accepted the terms and conditions applicable to the recipients thereof.

12.8.      No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Agent shall have no powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Agent or a Lender hereunder.

12.9.      Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, conservatorship, liquidation, assignment for the benefit of creditors, moratorium, rearrangement, or similar law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Credit Party, the Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Term Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Agent shall have made any demand on Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (if directed by the Required Lenders), by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a)           to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Term Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Agent under Sections 2.4 and 11.2) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b)           to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Agent and, if the Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Agent under Sections 2.4 and 11.2.

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

12.10.    Collateral and Guaranty Matters. The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Agent:

(a)           to enter into and sign for and on behalf of the Lenders as Secured Parties the Collateral Documents for the benefit of the Lenders and the other Secured Parties;

(b)           to automatically release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the Term Loan Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations, in cash in immediately available funds, (ii) at the time the property subject to such Lien is disposed or to be disposed as part of or in connection with any disposition or sale permitted (other than a lease and other than to a Person that is a Credit Party) hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (iii) subject to Section 11.5, if the release of such Lien is approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the applicable Lenders required pursuant to Section 11.5, or (iv) if the property subject to such Lien is owned by a Guarantor, upon release of such Guarantor from its obligations under the Security Agreement, to the extent permitted hereunder; and

(c)           to release or subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is securing Indebtedness of the type contemplated by clause (d) of the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness” to the extent required by the holder of, or pursuant to the terms of any agreement governing, the obligations secured by such Liens.

Upon request by the Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Security Agreement pursuant to this Section 12.10. In each case as specified in this Section 12.10, the Agent will (and each Lender irrevocably authorizes the Agent to), at Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Credit Party such documents as such Credit Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Collateral Documents or to subordinate its interest in such item, or to evidence the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under the Security Agreement, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 12.10.

Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any of the Lenders or other Secured Parties (i) to verify or assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by a Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered, (ii) to verify or assure that Agent’s Liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, (iii) to verify or assure that any particular items of Collateral meet the eligibility criteria applicable in respect thereof, (iv) to impose, maintain, increase, reduce, implement, or eliminate any particular reserve hereunder or to determine whether the amount of any reserve is appropriate or not, or (v) to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to Agent pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission, or event related thereto, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, Agent may act in any manner.

The Credit Parties and the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Agent, based upon the instruction of the Required Lenders, to (a) consent to the sale of, credit bid, or purchase (either directly or indirectly through one or more entities) all or any portion of the Collateral at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, (b) credit bid or purchase (either directly or indirectly through one or more entities) all or any portion of the Collateral at any sale or other disposition thereof conducted under the provisions of the UCC, including pursuant to Sections 9-610 or 9-620 of the UCC, or (c) credit bid or purchase (either directly or indirectly through one or more entities) all or any portion of the Collateral at any other sale or foreclosure conducted or consented to by Agent (at the direction of the Required Lenders) in accordance with applicable law in any judicial action or proceeding or by the exercise of any legal or equitable remedy. In connection with any such credit bid or purchase, (i) the Obligations owed to the Lenders and the other Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims being estimated for such purpose if the fixing or liquidation thereof would not impair or unduly delay the ability of Agent to credit bid or purchase at such sale or other disposition of the Collateral and, if such contingent or unliquidated claims cannot be estimated without impairing or unduly delaying the ability of Agent to credit bid at such sale or other disposition, then such claims shall be disregarded, not credit bid, and not entitled to any interest in the Collateral that is the subject of such credit bid or purchase) and the Lenders and the other Secured Parties whose Obligations are credit bid shall be entitled to receive interests (ratably based upon the proportion of their Obligations credit bid in relation to the aggregate amount of Obligations so credit bid) in the Collateral that is the subject of such credit bid or purchase (or in the Equity Interests of any of the entities that are used to consummate such credit bid or purchase), and (ii) Agent, based upon the instruction of the Required Lenders, may accept non-cash consideration, including debt and equity securities issued by any entities used to consummate such credit bid or purchase and in connection therewith Agent may reduce the Obligations owed to the Lenders and the other Secured Parties (ratably based upon the proportion of their Obligations credit bid in relation to the aggregate amount of Obligations so credit bid) based upon the value of such non-cash consideration.

12.11.    Indemnification by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. To the extent required by any applicable Laws, the Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. Without limiting or expanding the provisions of Section 2.6, to the extent not otherwise indemnified by the Credit Parties pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, each Lender shall severally indemnify and hold harmless the Agent against, and shall make payable in respect thereof within ten (10) days after demand therefor, (i) any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Agent by the IRS or any other Governmental Authority as a result of the failure of the Agent to properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of such Lender for any reason (including because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding Tax ineffective), (ii) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that Borrower has not already indemnified Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), (iii) any Taxes attributable to such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s failure to comply with the provision of Section 11.1 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iv) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the 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 Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due the Agent under this Section 12.11.

12.12.    Patriot Act. Each Lender or assignee or participant of a Lender that is not organized under the laws of the United States or a state thereof (and is not excepted from the certification requirement contained in Section 313 of the Patriot Act and the applicable regulations because it is both (a) an affiliate of a depository institution or foreign bank that maintains a physical presence in the United States or foreign country, and (b) subject to supervision by a banking authority regulating such affiliated depository institution or foreign bank) shall deliver to the Agent the certification, or, if applicable, recertification, certifying that such Lender is not a “shell” and certifying to other matters as required by Section 313 of the Patriot Act and the applicable regulations: (i) within ten (10) days after the Closing Date, and (ii) at such other times as are required under the Patriot Act.

12.13.    Costs and Expenses; Indemnification. Agent may incur and pay Lender and Agent Expenses to the extent Agent, in consultation with the Blackstone Representative, reasonably deems necessary or appropriate for the performance and fulfillment of Agent’s functions, powers, and obligations pursuant to the Loan Documents, including court costs, attorneys’ fees and expenses, fees and expenses of financial accountants, advisors, consultants, and appraisers, costs of collection by outside collection agencies, auctioneer fees and expenses, and costs of security guards or insurance premiums paid to maintain the Collateral, whether or not Borrower is obligated to reimburse Agent or Lenders for such expenses pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise. Agent is authorized and directed to deduct and retain sufficient amounts from payments or proceeds of the Collateral received by Agent to reimburse Agent for such out-of-pocket costs and expenses prior to the distribution of any amounts to Lenders. In the event Agent is not reimbursed for such costs and expenses by the Credit Parties and their Subsidiaries, each Lender hereby agrees that it is and shall be obligated to pay to Agent such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s ratable share thereof. Each of the Lenders, on a ratable basis, shall indemnify and defend the Agent-Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of Borrower and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so) from and against any and all indemnified liabilities described in Section 11.2; provided, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such indemnified liabilities resulting solely from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse Agent upon demand for such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s ratable share of any costs or out of pocket expenses (including attorneys, accountants, advisors, and consultants fees and expenses) incurred by Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment, or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the extent that Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. The undertaking in this Section shall survive the payment of all Obligations hereunder and the resignation or replacement of Agent.

12.14.    Survival. This Section 12 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations and the resignation or replacement of the Agent.

12.15.    Erroneous Payments.

(a)           If the Agent (x) notifies a Lender or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, (any such Lender or other recipient (and each of their respective successors and assigns), a “Payment Recipient”) that the Agent has determined in its reasonable discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds (as set forth in such notice from the Agent) received by such Payment Recipient from the Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously or mistakenly transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender, or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether transmitted or received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and (y) demands in writing the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof) (provided, that, without limiting any other rights or remedies (whether at law or in equity), the Agent may not make any such demand under this clause (a) with respect to an Erroneous Payment unless such demand is made within twenty (20) Business Days of the date of receipt of such Erroneous Payment by the applicable Payment Recipient), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Agent pending its return or repayment as contemplated below in this Section 12.15 and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Agent, and such Lender shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than five (5) Business Days thereafter (or such later date as the Agent may, in its reasonable discretion, specify in writing), return to the Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon (except to the extent waived in writing by the Agent, in its sole discretion) in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b)           Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender (and each of their respective successors and assigns), hereby further agrees that if it (or a Payment Recipient on its behalf) receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in this Agreement or in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), then in each such case:

(i)              it acknowledges and agrees that (A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error and mistake shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error and mistake has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and

(ii)             such Lender shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one (1) Business Day of the date of its knowledge of the occurrence of such error) notify the Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Agent pursuant to this Section 12.15(b). For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver a notice to the Agent pursuant to this Section 12.15(b) shall not have any effect on a Payment Recipient’s obligations pursuant to Section 10.15(a) or on whether or not an Erroneous Payment has been made.

(c)           Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Agent to such Lender, Issuing Lender or Secured Party from any source, against any amount due to the Agent under immediately preceding clause (a) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement

(d)           (i) in the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Agent in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), irrespective of whether the Agent may be equitably subrogated, the Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all of the rights and interests of such Payment Recipient (and, in the case of any Payment Recipient who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, to the rights and interests of such Lender as the case may be) under the Loan Documents with respect to such Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, and for the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the occurrence of an Erroneous Payment (or any Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights or other rights of the Agent in respect of an Erroneous Payment) result in the Agent becoming, or being deemed to be, a Lender hereunder or the holder of any Loans hereunder.

(e)            The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Credit Party, except, in each case, to the extent any such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Agent from the Borrower or any other Credit Party for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.

(f)            To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

(g)            Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 12.15 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

12.16.            Enforcement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Credit Parties shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Agent in accordance with Section 8.01 for the benefit of all the Lenders; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit (i) the Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (ii) [reserved], (iii) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 9.10 or (iv) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to the Credit Parties under any debtor relief law; provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (x) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise provided to the Agent pursuant to Section 8.01 and (y) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) of the preceding proviso, any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights or remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders. In each case the foregoing is subject to the relevant guarantee and enforcement limitations as set out in the respective joinder of Amicus Germany or of any other German Credit Party and/or the German Security Documents.

13.            GUARANTY

13.1.            Guaranty. To induce the Lenders to make the Term Loan to Borrower on the Funding Date, each Guarantor, jointly and severally with each other Guarantor, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, the full and punctual payment when due, whether at stated maturity or earlier, by reason of acceleration, mandatory prepayment or otherwise in accordance with any Loan Document, of all the Obligations of Borrower existing on the date hereof or hereinafter incurred or created (the “Guaranteed Obligations”). This Guaranty by each Guarantor hereunder constitutes a guaranty of payment and not of collection. Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations, at any time and from time to time, may exceed the Maximum Guaranteed Amount of such Guarantor and may exceed the aggregate of the Maximum Guaranteed Amounts of all Guarantors, in each case without discharging, limiting or otherwise affecting the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder or the rights, powers and remedies of any Secured Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document. In each case the foregoing is subject to the relevant guarantee and enforcement limitations as set out in the respective joinder of Amicus Germany or of any other German Credit Party and/or the German Security Documents, and shall only apply to the extent the foregoing would not result in a risk of personal or criminal liability for any officer, director, employee, manager, member of management or consultant of Amicus Germany or any other German Credit Party.

13.2.            Limitation of Guaranty. Any term or provision of this Guaranty or any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount for which any Guarantor shall be liable hereunder (the “Maximum Guaranteed Amount”) shall not exceed the maximum amount for which such Guarantor can be liable without rendering this Guaranty or any other Loan Document, as it relates to such Guarantor, subject to avoidance under applicable Requirements of Law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer (including the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act and Section 548 of title 11 of the United States Code or any applicable provisions of comparable Requirements of Law) (collectively, “Fraudulent Transfer Laws”). Any analysis of the provisions of this Guaranty for purposes of Fraudulent Transfer Laws shall take into account the right of contribution established in Section 13.7 and, for purposes of such analysis, give effect to any discharge of intercompany debt as a result of any payment made under the Guaranty.

13.3.            Authorization; Other Agreements. Agent on behalf of itself and the other Secured Parties is hereby authorized, without notice, to or demand upon any Guarantor and without discharging or otherwise affecting the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder and without incurring any liability hereunder, from time to time, to do each of the following but subject in all cases to the terms and conditions of the other Loan Documents

(a)            subject to compliance with Section 11.5, (i) modify, amend, supplement or otherwise change, (ii) accelerate or otherwise change the time of payment or (iii) waive or otherwise consent to noncompliance with, any Guaranteed Obligation or any Loan Document;

(e)            settle, release, compromise, collect or otherwise liquidate the Guaranteed Obligations.

13.4.            Guaranty Absolute and Unconditional.

(a)            the invalidity or unenforceability of any obligation of Borrower or any other Guarantor under any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto (including any amendment, consent or waiver thereto), or any security for, or other guaranty of, any Guaranteed Obligation or any part thereof, or the lack of perfection or continuing perfection or failure of priority of any security for the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof;

(b)            the absence of (i) any attempt to collect any Guaranteed Obligation or any part thereof from Borrower or any other Guarantor or other action to enforce the same or (ii) any action to enforce any Loan Document or any Lien thereunder;

(c)            the failure by any Person to take any steps to perfect and maintain any Lien on, or to preserve any rights with respect to, any Collateral;

(d)            any workout, insolvency, bankruptcy proceeding, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation or dissolution by or against Borrower, any other Guarantor or any of Borrower’s other Subsidiaries or any procedure, agreement, order, stipulation, election, action or omission thereunder, including any discharge or disallowance of, or bar or stay against collecting, any Guaranteed Obligation (or any interest thereon) in or as a result of any such proceeding;

(e)            any foreclosure, whether or not through judicial sale, and any other sale or other disposition of any Collateral or any election following the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuance thereof by Agent on behalf of itself and any other Secured Party to proceed separately against any Collateral in accordance with Agent’s and any other Secured Party’s rights under any applicable Requirements of Law; or

(f)            any other defense, setoff, counterclaim or any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Subsidiary of Borrower, in each case other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash in immediately available funds of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations).

13.5.            Waivers. To the fullest extent permitted by Requirements of Law, each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert any claim, defense, setoff or counterclaim based on diligence, promptness, presentment, requirements for any demand or notice hereunder, including any of the following: (a) any demand for payment or performance and protest and notice of protest; (b) any notice of acceptance; (c) any presentment, demand, protest or further notice or other requirements of any kind with respect to any Guaranteed Obligation (including any accrued but unpaid interest thereon) becoming immediately due and payable; and (d) any other notice in respect of any Guaranteed Obligation or any part thereof, and any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of Borrower or any Guarantor. Until the indefeasible payment in full, in cash in immediately available funds, of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations), each Guarantor further unconditionally and irrevocably agrees not to (x) enforce or otherwise exercise any right of subrogation or any right of reimbursement or contribution or similar right against Borrower or any Guarantor by reason of any Loan Document or any payment made thereunder, or (y) assert any claim, defense, setoff or counterclaim it may have against any other Credit Party or set off any of its obligations to such other Credit Party against obligations of such Credit Party to such Guarantor; provided, that such claims, rights and remedies shall remain waived and released at any time the Agent or any of the other Secured Parties (with or through their designees) have acquired all or any portion of the Collateral by credit bid, strict foreclosure or through any other exercise of remedies available to the Agent or the other Secured Parties pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. No obligation of any Guarantor hereunder shall be discharged other than by complete performance. Each Guarantor further waives any right such Guarantor may have under any applicable Requirements of Law to require any Secured Party to seek recourse first against Borrower or any other Person, or to realize upon any Collateral for any of the Obligations, as a condition precedent to enforcing such Guarantor’s liability and obligations under this Guaranty.

13.6.            Reliance. Each Guarantor hereby assumes responsibility for keeping itself informed of the financial condition of Borrower, each Guarantor and any other guarantor, maker or endorser of any Guaranteed Obligation or any part thereof, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of any Guaranteed Obligation or any part thereof that reasonable and diligent inquiry would reveal, and each Guarantor hereby agrees that neither Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any duty to advise any Guarantor of information known to it regarding such condition or any such circumstances. In the event Agent, or any other Secured Party, in its sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to any Guarantor, such Person shall be under no obligation to (a) undertake any investigation not a part of its regular business routine, (b) disclose any information that Agent or any other Secured Party, pursuant to accepted or reasonable commercial finance or banking practices, wishes to maintain confidential or (c) make any future disclosures of such information or any other information to any Guarantor.

To the extent that any Guarantor shall be required hereunder to pay any portion of any Guaranteed Obligation exceeding the greater of (a) the amount of the value actually received by such Guarantor and its Subsidiaries from the Term Loan and other Obligations and (b) the amount such Guarantor would otherwise have paid if such Guarantor had paid the aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations (excluding the amount thereof repaid by Borrower) in the same proportion as such Guarantor’s net worth on the date enforcement is sought hereunder bears to the aggregate net worth of all Guarantors on such date, then such Guarantor shall be reimbursed by such other Guarantors for the amount of such excess, pro rata, based on the respective net worth of such other Guarantors on such date.

13.8.            U.K. Credit and Irish Credit Party Guaranty Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any Loan Document, a guarantee granted by (a) any U.K. Credit Party under or pursuant to a Loan Document shall not apply to any liability to the extent that it would result in the relevant guarantee constituting unlawful financial assistance within the meaning of sections 678 or 679 of the Companies Act 2006 or (b) any Irish Credit Party under or pursuant to a Loan Document shall not apply to any liability to the extent that it would result in the relevant guarantee constituting unlawful financial assistance within the meaning of section 82 of the Companies Act 2014.
