Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans. At no time shall the sum of the then Total Revolving Extensions of Credit exceed the Total Revolving Commitments.

(ii) Term Loan Commitments. Each Term Lender severally, and not jointly with the other Term Lenders, agrees, upon the terms and subject to the conditions herein set forth, to make a term loan denominated in Dollars (each, an “Initial Term Loan” and collectively the “Initial Term Loans”) to the Borrower on the Closing Date in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Term Loan Commitment of such Term Lender on the Closing Date, which Initial Term Loans shall constitute Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement and shall be repaid in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Any amount borrowed under this ‎Section 2.01(a) and subsequently repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. Each Term Lender’s Term Loan Commitment shall terminate automatically and without further action on the Closing Date after giving effect to the funding by such Term Lender of the Initial Term Loans to be made by it on such date and permanently be reduced to $0 upon the funding of the Commitment on the Closing Date.

(b)            Each Borrowing of a Loan shall be made from the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to make any Loan shall not in itself relieve the other Lenders of their obligations to lend.

(d)            Amount of Borrowing. Each Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is in an integral multiple of $1.0 million and not less than $1.0 million; provided that a Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire Unused Total Revolving Commitments.

Section 2.02.          Requests for Loans.

Unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent with respect to the Term Loan Borrowing or Delta with respect to Revolving Borrowings, to request a Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent (and Delta with respect to any Revolving Borrowings) of such request by delivering a Loan Request not later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, two (2) Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing (or such later time as may be consented to by the Term Lenders or the Revolving Lenders, as applicable). Each such Loan Request shall be irrevocable and shall be signed by the Financial Officer of the Borrower. Each such Loan Request shall specify the following information in compliance with ‎Section 2.01:

(i)            the Class of Loans;

(ii)           the aggregate amount of the requested Loan (which shall comply with ‎Section 2.01(d)); and

(iii)          the date of such Loan, which shall be a Business Day.

Promptly following receipt of the Loan Request in accordance with this ‎Section 2.02, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Loan.

Section 2.03.          Funding of Loans.

(a)            Each Lender shall make each Loan required to be made by it hereunder on the Closing Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 p.m., New York City time, or such other time as may be reasonably practicable, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders; provided that Revolving Loans may be made by the Revolving Lenders directly to the Borrower to the extent feasible and approved by the Revolving Lenders. Upon satisfaction or waiver of the applicable conditions precedent specified herein, the Administrative Agent will make the Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the proceeds so received, in like funds, to an account designated by the Borrower in the applicable borrowing notice.

(b)            Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Loan that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s share of such Loan, the Administrative Agent may assume that such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.04(a) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Loan available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith upon written demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate otherwise applicable to such Loan. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then (x) such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Loan and the Borrower shall not be obligated to repay such amount pursuant to the preceding sentence if not previously repaid and (y) if such amount was previously repaid by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly make a corresponding amount available to the Borrower.

(b)            Accrued interest on each Loan (including pursuant to Section 2.07) shall be payable in arrears and, subject to the last paragraph of this Section 2.06(b), only in kind (“PIK” and such interest “PIK Interest”) at all times, and shall be capitalized to the principal amount of the relevant Loans on each Interest Payment Date and interest shall compound on PIK Interest previously capitalized to principal (it being understood and agreed that the capitalization of PIK Interest to the principal amount of the Revolving Credit Facility shall not constitute a Revolving Extension of Credit or reduce the total outstanding Revolving Commitment of the Revolving Lenders); provided that (i) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan, accrued interest as of the date of such repayment or prepayment that has not yet been capitalized to the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable in cash on the date of such repayment or prepayment, (ii) upon the termination of the Revolving Commitments under Section 7.02(a), accrued interest on the Revolving Loans shall be payable in cash and on demand unless the Revolving Lenders consent to PIK Interest. All payments of PIK Interest hereunder shall be deemed to occur automatically on the applicable Interest Payment Date, and the Administrative Agent shall update the Register to reflect each such payment of PIK Interest and the allocation thereof among the applicable Lenders; provided that any delay or failure by the Administrative Agent to so update the Register shall not be construed as non-payment of such PIK Interest.

Following the redemption in full of the outstanding EETC Obligations or the maturity thereof, the Borrower may elect to make interest payments (or some portion thereof) occurring on or following the date of such redemption in full or maturity on the Loans in cash on any Interest Payment Date; provided that any such election will apply to all Loans ratably.

(c)            Accrued interest on all Loans shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto, on the Maturity Date with respect to such Loans and thereafter on written demand and upon any repayment or prepayment thereof (on the amount repaid or prepaid).

If the Borrower or any Guarantor, as the case may be, shall default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Loan or in the payment of any other amount becoming due hereunder, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, the Borrower shall pay interest, to the extent permitted by law, on all unpaid and overdue amounts up to (but not including) the date of actual payment (after as well as before judgment) at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) equal to (a) with respect to the principal amount of any Loan, the rate then applicable for such Borrowings plus 2.0%, and (b) in the case of all other amounts, a per annum rate equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus 2.0%.

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

(d)            The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to ‎Section 2.08(b) or ‎(c) shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e)            Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (a “Promissory Note”). In such event, the Borrower shall as promptly as reasonably possible execute and deliver to such Lender a Promissory Note payable to such Lender (or its permitted assigns). Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such Promissory Note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to ‎Section 10.02) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to such payee and its registered assigns.

(b)            Within five (5) Business Days after the receipt by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of any Net Proceeds from (1) a Disposition of any assets or other property (other than a Permitted Disposition), or (2) a Recovery Event in respect of any assets or other property, in each case, the Borrower or such Subsidiary shall apply the Prepayment Percentage of such Net Proceeds to repay the Term Loans (provided that (i) the Borrower shall prepay or repurchase any other Indebtedness that is pari passu in right of payment and security with the Term Loans (and to permanently reduce commitments with respect thereto) to the extent such other Indebtedness and the Liens securing the same are permitted hereunder and the documentation governing such other Indebtedness requires such a prepayment or repurchase thereof with such Net Proceeds, in each case in an amount not to exceed the product of (1) such Net Proceeds and (2) a fraction, the numerator of which is the outstanding principal amount of such other Indebtedness and the denominator of which is the aggregate outstanding amount of Term Loans and such other Indebtedness) and (ii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.09(b), the amount of any prepayment required under this Section 2.09(b) with respect to assets or other property that the EETC Secured Parties have a senior Lien on shall be reduced by the aggregate principal amount of the EETC Obligations prepaid and any additional premiums paid in connection therewith as required under the EETC Documentation from the proceeds of such sale.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.09(b), (A) to the extent any or all of the Net Proceeds of any Disposition by a Subsidiary or the Net Proceeds of a Recovery Event received by a Subsidiary are prohibited or delayed by (x) any contractual restriction permitted by this Agreement or (y) any applicable local law (including financial assistance, corporate benefit restrictions on upstreaming of cash intra group and the fiduciary and statutory duties of the directors of such Subsidiary) from being repatriated or passed on to or used for the benefit of the Borrower or if the Borrower and the Lead Lenders have determined in good faith that repatriation of any such amount to the United States would have material adverse tax consequences (including a material acceleration of the point in time when such earnings would otherwise be taxed) with respect to such amount, the portion of such Net Proceeds so affected will not be required to be applied to prepay the Term Loans at the times provided in this Section 2.09(b) but may be retained by the applicable Subsidiary so long, but only so long, as the applicable contractual restriction or local law will not permit repatriation or the passing on to or otherwise using for the benefit of the Borrower, or the Borrower believes in good faith that such material adverse tax consequence would result, and once such repatriation of any of such affected Net Proceeds is permitted under the applicable contractual agreement or local law or Borrower determines in good faith such repatriation would no longer have such material adverse tax consequences, such repatriation will be promptly effected and such repatriated Net Proceeds will be promptly (and in any event not later than five Business Days after such repatriation) applied (net of additional taxes payable or reasonably estimated to be payable as a result thereof) to the prepayment of the Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.09(b).

Each Term Lender shall have the right to decline any mandatory prepayment, and the amount of such declined prepayment shall be offered to the other Term Lenders on a pro rata basis.

(f)            If at any time the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit for any reason exceed the Total Revolving Commitment at such time, the Borrower shall prepay the Revolving Loans in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.

(g)            During the Revolving Availability Period, if on the last Business Day of any calendar week the Unrestricted Cash Amount is greater than $100 million the Borrower shall prepay any outstanding Revolving Loans within two Business Days such that after giving effect to such prepayment either the Unrestricted Cash Amount is less than or equal to $100 million or the aggregate Revolving Loans have been paid in full.

(a)            The Borrower shall have the right, at any time and from time to time, to prepay any Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (except as set forth in Section 2.10(c)) upon (A) telephonic notice (followed promptly by written or facsimile notice or notice by electronic mail) to the Administrative Agent or, with respect to a prepayment of any Revolving Loan, to Delta (B) written or facsimile notice (or notice by electronic mail) to the Administrative Agent or, with respect to a prepayment of any Revolving Loan, to Delta, in any case received by 1:00 p.m., New York City time, one Business Day prior to the proposed date of prepayment; provided that Loans may be prepaid on the same day notice is given if such notice is received by the Administrative Agent by 12:00 noon, New York City time; provided further, however, that (A) each such partial prepayment shall be in an amount not less than $1.0 million and in integral multiples of $1.0 million and (B) no partial prepayment of a Loan shall result in the aggregate principal amount of such Loans remaining outstanding being less than $1.0 million.

(b)            Any prepayments under Section 2.10(a) shall be applied, at the option of the Borrower, to prepay the outstanding Loans of the Lenders (and, if applicable, without any reduction in the Total Revolving Commitments) until all Loans shall have been paid in full (plus any accrued but unpaid interest and fees thereon). All prepayments under Section 2.10(a) shall be accompanied by accrued but unpaid interest on the principal amount being prepaid to (but not including) the date of prepayment, plus any Fees. Term Loans prepaid pursuant to Section 2.10(a) may not be reborrowed.

(c)            Each prepayment (whether before or after (i) the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default or (ii) the commencement of any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code involving any Loan Party or Subsidiary thereof, and notwithstanding any acceleration (for any reason) of the Obligations (and the entire outstanding principal amount of the Initial Term Loans shall be deemed to have been prepaid on the date of any such acceleration, and the term “prepayment” for the purposes of this Section 2.10(c) shall include, without limitation, any amendment, amendment and restatement, waiver or other modification to this Agreement that reduces the all-in yield of the Initial Term Loans or that reduces or modifies the premium referred to below in a manner that is adverse to the Lenders holding the Initial Term Loans, and any replacement of a non-consenting Lender pursuant to Section 2.15(b) in connection with any such amendment or modification)) of the Initial Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.09(a) or Section 2.10(a) shall be accompanied by a premium equal to (a) if such prepayment or assignment is made prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, 1.00% of the principal amount of the Initial Term Loans so prepaid or assigned or (b) if such prepayment or assignment is made on or after the first anniversary of the Closing Date, 0.00% of the principal amount of the Initial Term Loans so prepaid or assigned.

(d)            Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of the Loans to be prepaid and the Class of Loans, shall be irrevocable and shall commit the Borrower to prepay such Loan by the amount and on the date stated therein; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, any notice of prepayment under this Section 2.10(d) may state that such notice is conditional upon the effectiveness of other transactions, in which case such notice may be revoked or its effectiveness deferred by the Borrower (by written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified date of prepayment) if such condition is not satisfied. The Administrative Agent shall, promptly after receiving notice from the Borrower hereunder, notify each Lender of the principal amount of the Loans held by such Lender which are to be prepaid, the prepayment date and the manner of application of the prepayment.

(e)            Optional Termination or Reduction of Revolving Commitments. Upon at least one (1) Business Day prior written notice to the Revolving Lenders and the Administrative Agent, the Borrower may (with the consent of the Lead Lenders) at any time in whole permanently terminate a Total Revolving Commitment, or from time to time in part permanently reduce the Unused Total Revolving Commitment; provided that each such notice shall be revocable at any time prior to such reduction or termination, as the case may be, or to the extent such termination or reduction would have resulted from a refinancing of the Obligations, which refinancing shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed. Each such reduction of the Unused Total Revolving Commitment shall be in the principal amount not less than $1 million and in an integral multiple of $1 million. Simultaneously with each reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitment. Any reduction of the Unused Total Revolving Commitment pursuant to this ‎Section 2.10(e) shall be applied to reduce the Revolving Commitment of each Revolving Lender on a pro rata basis.

(f)            Notwithstanding the foregoing, no voluntary prepayment of the Term Loan Facility shall be permitted unless prior thereto the outstanding EETC Obligations have been paid in full (including any applicable prepayment premium with respect to such EETC Obligations) or unless the applicable lenders under the EETC otherwise consent to such voluntary prepayment.

Section 2.11.          Increased Costs.

(a)            If any Change in Law shall:

(i)            impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender; or

(ii)            impose on any Lender any other condition, cost or expense or subject any Lender to any liability in respect of any Taxes (other than: (A) Excluded Taxes, Indemnified Taxes, Other Taxes or to the extent any increase or reduction is compensated for by Section 2.13(m) (VAT) (or would have been so compensated but was not so compensated because any of the exceptions set out therein applied) or (B) to the extent any increase or reduction is suffered or incurred in respect of any Bank Levy (or any payment attributable to, or any liability arising as a consequence of, any Bank Levy)) imposed on or with respect to any payment made on any Loan under this Agreement;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder with respect to any Loan (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then, upon the request of such Lender, the Borrower will pay to such Lender (without duplication of any other amounts to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document) such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b)            If any Lender reasonably determines in good faith that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or such Lender’s holding company regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s policies and the policies of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts, in each case as documented by such Lender to the Borrower as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered; it being understood that to the extent duplicative of the provisions in ‎Section 2.13, this ‎Section 2.11(b) shall not apply to Taxes.

(c)            Solely to the extent arising from a Change in Law, the Borrower shall pay to each Lender as long as such Lender shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any other central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the maintenance of the Commitments or the funding of the Loans, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Commitment or Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) which in each case shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan; provided that the Borrower shall have received at least fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest or cost from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give written notice fifteen (15) days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest or cost shall be due and payable fifteen (15) days from receipt of such notice.

(d)            A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in or ‎Section 2.11 and the basis for calculating such amount or amounts shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be prima facie evidence of the amount due; provided, however, that any determination by a Lender of amounts owed pursuant to this ‎Section 2.11 to such Lender due to any such Change in Law shall be made in good faith in a manner generally consistent with such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s standard practice. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount due within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such certificate.

(e)            Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this ‎Section 2.11 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this ‎Section 2.11 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further that if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. The protection of this ‎Section 2.11 shall be available to each Lender regardless of any possible contention as to the invalidity or inapplicability of the law, rule, regulation, guideline or other change or condition which shall have occurred or been imposed.

(f)            The Borrower shall not be required to make payments under this ‎Section 2.11 to any Lender if (A) a claim hereunder arises solely through circumstances peculiar to such Lender and which do not affect commercial banks in the jurisdiction of organization of such Lender generally or (B) the claim arises out of a voluntary relocation by such Lender of its applicable lending office (it being understood that any such relocation effected pursuant to Section 2.14 is not “voluntary”).

Section 2.12.           [Reserved].

Section 2.13.           Taxes.

(a)            Any and all payments by or on account of any Obligation of the Borrower or any Guarantor hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Law. If the Borrower, Guarantor or any other applicable Withholding Agent shall be required by any Laws (as determined in good faith by the applicable Withholding Agent) to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to the Administrative Agent or any Lender; then (i) if the Tax in question is an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax, the sum payable by the applicable Borrower or applicable Guarantor shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions or withholdings for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including deductions or withholdings for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this ‎Section 2.13), the Administrative Agent, Lender or any other recipient of such payments (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deductions or withholdings and (iii) the applicable Withholding Agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b)            In addition, the Borrower or the Guarantors, as applicable, shall timely pay any Other Taxes (except any such Taxes or portions thereof that have been paid or will be paid under Section 2.13‎(a)) to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option and upon written demand of the Administrative Agent, timely reimburse it for the payment of any such Taxes (except any such Taxes or portions thereof that have been paid or will be paid under Section 2.13‎(a)) made on behalf of the Borrower or the Guarantors, as applicable, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

(d)            [Reserved].

(e)            The Borrower or the Guarantors, as applicable, shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by or on behalf of or withheld or deducted from payments owing to the Administrative Agent, or such Lender, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any Guarantor hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this ‎Section 2.13) and any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(f)            As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower or the Guarantors to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this ‎Section 2.13, the Borrower or the Guarantors, as applicable, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment to the extent available, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(g)            Each Lender shall, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent the Administrative Agent has not been reimbursed by the Borrower or the Guarantors) for the full amount of any Taxes imposed by any Governmental Authority that are attributable to such Lender and that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent, together with all interest, penalties, actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, as determined by the Administrative Agent in good faith. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(h)            Any Tax Indemnitee that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or as reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such information or properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate; provided that a Lender shall not be required to provide such information complete, execute or deliver any documentation pursuant to this ‎Section 2.13(h) (for the avoidance of doubt, other than documentation set forth in Section 2.13(i)(i), (i)(ii), or (j)) if in such Lender’s sole discretion exercised in good faith such provision of information, completion, execution or delivery would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(i)            United States Person – Tax Indemnitee

(i)            Any Tax Indemnitee that is a “United States Person” (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, on or prior to the date on which such Tax Indemnitee becomes a party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document (and from time to time thereafter when the previously delivered certificates and/or forms expire, or upon request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), two (2) copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor form), properly completed and duly executed by such Tax Indemnitee, certifying that such Tax Indemnitee is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax.

(ii)            Any Tax Indemnitee that is not a “United States Person” (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, on or prior to the date on which such Tax Indemnitee becomes a party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document (and from time to time thereafter when the previously delivered certificates and/or forms expire, or upon request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), two (2) copies of whichever of the following is applicable:

(1)            in the case of a Tax Indemnitee 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 Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E 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, Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E 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;

(2)            executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI;

(3)            in the case of a Tax Indemnitee claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-1 to the effect that such Tax Indemnitee is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to the Borrower as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Internal Revenue Service Form W 8BEN-E;

(4)            to the extent a Tax Indemnitee is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, accompanied by Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, Internal Revenue Service Form W 8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-2 or Exhibit G-3, Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Tax Indemnitee is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Tax Indemnitee are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Tax Indemnitee may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; or

(5)            in the case of the Administrative Agent, if applicable, two executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI with respect to any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent for its own account, and (B) two executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY with respect to any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent for the account of others, certifying that it is a “U.S. branch” and that the payments it receives for the account of others are not effectively connected with the conduct of its trade or business within the United States and that it is using such form as evidence of its agreement with the Borrower and the Guarantors to be treated as a United States person with respect to such payments (and the Borrower, the Guarantors and the Administrative Agent agree to so treat the Agent as a United States person with respect to such payments as contemplated by Section 1.1441-1(b)(2)(iv) of the United States Treasury Regulations).

(iii)            Any Tax Indemnitee that is not a “United States Person” (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, on or prior to the date on which such Tax Indemnitee becomes a party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document (and from time to time thereafter when the previously delivered forms expire, or upon request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in any withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

(j)            If a payment made to a Tax Indemnitee under this Agreement or any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Tax Indemnitee were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Tax Indemnitee shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law or at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Tax Indemnitee has or has not complied with such Tax Indemnitee’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.13(j), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Closing Date.

(k)            If a Tax Indemnitee determines, in its reasonable sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes from the Governmental Authority to which such Taxes or Other Taxes were paid and as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or any Guarantor or with respect to which the Borrower or any Guarantor has paid additional amounts pursuant to this ‎Section 2.13, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower or such Guarantor (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower or such Guarantor under this ‎Section 2.13 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Tax Indemnitee incurred in obtaining such refund (including Taxes imposed with respect to such refund) and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrower or any Guarantor, upon the request of the Tax Indemnitee, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower or such Guarantor (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Tax Indemnitee in the event the Tax Indemnitee is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this ‎Section 2.13(l), in no event will the Tax Indemnitee be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this ‎Section 2.13(l) if, and then only to the extent, the payment of such amount would place such Tax Indemnitee in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Tax Indemnitee would have been in if the Tax indemnification payments or additional amounts under this ‎Section 2.13 giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This Section shall not be construed to require the Tax Indemnitee to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

(l)            Each of the Loan Parties, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (a) agree to treat the Loans as indebtedness for U.S. federal income tax purposes and (b) agree not to take any action or file any Tax Return or any other report or declaration relating to Taxes inconsistent herewith except as required pursuant to a “final determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code.

(m)           VAT.

(i)            All amounts expressed to be payable under a Loan Document by any party to a Lender which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for a supply or supplies for VAT purposes shall be deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on such supply or supplies and accordingly, subject to sub-clause (ii) below, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply or supplies made by any Lender to any party in connection with a Loan Document and such Lender is required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, that party must pay to such Lender (in addition to and at the same time as paying any other consideration for such supply) an amount equal to the amount of that VAT (and such Lender must promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to that party).

(ii)            If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Lender (the “Supplier”) to any other Lender (the “VAT Recipient”) under a Loan Document, and any party other than the VAT Recipient (the “Relevant Party”) is required by the terms of any Loan Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for that supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse or indemnify the VAT 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 VAT Recipient must (where this paragraph applies) promptly pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment the VAT Recipient receives from the relevant tax authority which the VAT Recipient reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply; and

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

(iii)           Where a Loan Document requires any party to reimburse or indemnify a Lender for any costs or expenses, that party shall reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) the Lender against any VAT incurred by the Lender in respect of the costs or expenses, to the extent that the Lender reasonably determines that it is not entitled to credit or receive repayment in respect of the VAT from the relevant tax authority.

(iv)           Any reference in this paragraph (m) to any party shall, at any time when such party is treated as a member of a group or unity (or fiscal unity) for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the person who is treated as making the supply or (as appropriate) receiving the supply under the grouping rules (as provided for in Article 11 of the Council Directive 2006/112/EC (or as implemented by the relevant member state of the European Union or any other similar provision in any jurisdiction which is not a member state of the European Union)) (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in accordance with section 43 of the United Kingdom Value Added Tax Act 1994) so that reference to a party shall be construed as a reference to that party or the relevant group or unity (or fiscal unity) of which that party is a member for VAT purposes at the relevant time or the relevant member (or head) of that group or unity (or fiscal unity) at the relevant time (as the case may be).

(v)            In relation to any supply made by a Lender or Agent to any party under a Loan Document, if reasonably requested by such Lender or Agent, that party must promptly provide such Lender or Agent with details of that party’s VAT registration reasonably requested in connection with such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s or Agent’s VAT reporting requirements in relation to such supply.

(n)            Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.13 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

Section 2.14.          Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment.

(a)            The Borrower shall make each payment or prepayment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees, or of amounts payable under ‎Section 2.11 or ‎Section 2.12, or otherwise) prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date shall be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent pursuant to wire instructions to be provided by the Administrative Agent, except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.11 and ‎10.04 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day (and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension). All payments hereunder shall be made in U.S. Dollars.

(b)            Application of Payment Amounts. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all Obligations then due hereunder or with respect to all repayments after acceleration or an exercise of remedies from the proceeds of the Collateral, such funds shall be applied, in all cases consistent with the EETC Intercreditor, (i) first, towards payment of Fees and expenses then due under Sections ‎2.15 and ‎10.04 payable to the Lenders, Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, in their respective capacities as such, (ii) second, towards payment of Fees and expenses then due under ‎Section 2.17, ‎Section 2.18, and ‎Section 10.04 payable to the Lenders and towards payment of interest then due on account of the Loans, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of such Fees and expenses and interest then due to such parties and (iii) third, towards payment of principal of the Loans then due hereunder and any fees under Section 2.10, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties.

(c)            Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(d)            [Reserved].

Section 2.15.            Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a)            Mitigation of Obligations. If the Borrower are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender under ‎Section 2.11 or to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to ‎Section 2.13, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder, to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, to file any certificate or document reasonably requested by the Borrower or to take other reasonable measures, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation, assignment, filing or other measures (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to ‎Section 2.11 or ‎Section 2.13, as the case may be, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. Nothing in this ‎Section 2.15 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the rights of any Lender pursuant to ‎Section 2.13.

(b)            Replacement of Lenders. If, after the Closing Date, (i) any Lender requests compensation under ‎Section 2.11, (ii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to ‎Section 2.13, or (iii) any Lender refuses to consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification of any Loan Document requested by the Borrower that requires the consent of 100% of the Lenders or 100% of all affected Lenders and which, in each case, has been consented to by the Required Lenders, then the Borrower may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent and with the consent of the Lead Lenders, (i) terminate such Lender’s Revolving Commitment (if applicable), prepay such Lender’s outstanding Loans or (ii) require such Lender to assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in ‎Section 10.02), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such assigned obligations (which Eligible Assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), in any case as of a Business Day specified in such notice from the Borrower; provided that (A) (w) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under ‎Section 2.11(a) or payments required to be made pursuant to ‎Section 2.13, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter, (x) such assignment shall not conflict with any applicable legal requirement, (y) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and if a Revolving Commitment is being assigned, Delta), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed and (z) such terminated or assigning Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts due, owing and payable to it hereunder at the time of such termination or assignment, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees in the case of an assignment) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (B) if prior to any such transfer and assignment the circumstances or event that resulted in such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s claim for compensation cease to cause such Lender to suffer increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital, or cease to result in amounts being payable under ‎Section 2.13, as the case may be, or if such Lender shall waive its right to claim further compensation under to ‎Section 2.11(a) in respect of such circumstances, then such Lender shall not thereafter be required to make any such transfer and assignment hereunder. Any Lender being replaced pursuant to this ‎Section 2.15(b) shall execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s outstanding Commitment or Loans; provided that, an assignment contemplated by this ‎Section 2.15(b) shall become effective notwithstanding the failure by the Lender being replaced to deliver the Assignment and Acceptance contemplated by this ‎Section 2.15(b), so long as the other actions specified in this ‎Section 2.15(b) shall have been taken.

Section 2.16.          Certain Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent the fees set forth in that certain Administrative Agent Fee Letter.

Section 2.18.          Nature of Fees. All Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent, as provided herein and in each Fee Letter. Once paid, none of the Fees shall be refundable under any circumstances.

Section 2.19.          Right of Set-Off. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Local Collateral Agent and each Lender (and their respective banking Affiliates) are hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) (other than escrow, trust, and tax accounts) at any time held and other indebtedness (including obligations owing under any derivatives positions) at any time owing by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each such Local Collateral Agent and each such Lender (or any of such banking Affiliates) to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any Guarantor against any and all of any such overdue amounts owing under the Loan Documents, irrespective of whether or not the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each such Local Collateral Agent or such Lender shall have made any demand under any Loan Document. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower after any such set-off and application made by such Lender (or any of its banking Affiliates) and the Administrative Agent agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such set-off and applicable made by such Person, as the case may be; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Lender, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Local Collateral Agent under this ‎Section 2.19 are in addition to other rights and remedies which such Lender and the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Local Collateral Agent may have upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default.

Section 2.20.          Payment of Obligations. Subject to the provisions of ‎Section 7.01, upon the maturity (whether on the Maturity Date, by acceleration or otherwise) of any of the Obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents of the Borrower and the Guarantors, the Lenders shall be entitled to immediate Payment in Full of such Obligations.

Section 2.21.          [Reserved].

Section 2.22.          Increase in Term Loans.

(a)            Borrower Request. Borrower may by written notice to the Administrative Agent and consent of the Lead Lenders request the establishment of one or more new Term Loan Commitments (each, an “Incremental Term Loan Commitment”) by an amount not less than $10.0 million individually (or such lower amount agreed to by the Lead Lenders) and, in the aggregate for all such requests, not to exceed $50.0 million (it being understood and agreed, for the avoidance of doubt, that such amount shall not be increased by the amount of any prepayment or repayment of the Term Loans). Any such notice shall specify (i) the date (each, an “Increase Effective Date”) on which Borrower proposes that the Incremental Term Loan Commitments shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than fifteen (15) Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter time as agreed by the Borrower and the Lead Lenders), (ii) the proposed size and terms of such Incremental Term Loan Commitments and (iii) offer each Lender the opportunity to subscribe for its pro rata share of the Incremental Term Loan Commitments. If any portion of the Incremental Term Loan Commitments offered to the Lenders as contemplated in the immediately preceding sentence is not subscribed for by the Lenders within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such notice (or such shorter time as agreed by the Borrower and the Lead Lenders), the Borrower may, with the consent of the Lead Lenders as to any bank, financial institution or other entity that is not at such time a Lender, offer to any existing Lender or to one or more additional banks, financial institutions or other entities the opportunity to provide all or a portion of such unsubscribed portion of the Incremental Term Loan Commitments, in each case as consented to by the Lead Lenders. Any existing Lender approached to provide all or a portion of the Incremental Term Loan Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such Incremental Term Loan Commitment.

(b)            Conditions. The increased or new Commitments shall become effective, as of such Increase Effective Date; provided that:

(i)            each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 shall be satisfied on or prior to such Increase Effective Date;

(ii)            no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result from giving effect to the increased or new Commitments on, or the making of any new Loans on, such Increase Effective Date; and

(iii)           Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered any legal opinions or other documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with any such transaction.

(c)            Terms of New Loans and Commitments. The terms and provisions of Loans made pursuant to the new Commitments shall be as follows:

(i)            terms and provisions with respect to interest rates, maturity date and amortization schedule of Loans made pursuant to any Incremental Term Loan Commitments (“Incremental Term Loans”) shall be as agreed upon among the Borrower, the Lead Lenders and the applicable Lenders providing such Loans (it being understood that the Incremental Term Loans may be part of the Initial Term Loans or any other Class of Term Loans); provided that any such maturity date will comply with the EETC Prepayment Condition.

(ii)            the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Term Loans made pursuant to Incremental Term Loan Commitments shall be no shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Class of existing Term Loans having the shortest Weighted Average Life to Maturity at such time, and shall be no less than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the principal with respect to the EETC Obligations, and the EETC Prepayment Condition shall be satisfied.

(iii)           the interest rate margins for the new Incremental Term Loans shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable Lenders providing such Loans; provided, however, that the all-in yield for such new Incremental Term Loans that shall not be greater than the all-in yield with respect to any existing Term Loans plus 50 basis points unless the interest rate margins with respect to the applicable existing Term Loans are increased by an amount equal to (x) the excess of the all-in yield with respect to such Incremental Term Loans over the corresponding all-in yield on the respective applicable existing Term Loans minus (y) 50 basis points; provided that in determining the excess of the all-in yield between the Incremental Term Loans and the applicable existing Term Loans for purposes of the foregoing clause (x), (1) original issue discount or upfront or similar fees (collectively, “OID”) payable by the Borrower to the Lenders for the existing Term Loans or the Incremental Term Loans in the primary syndication thereof shall be included (with OID being equated to interest based on an assumed four-year life to maturity), (2) any amendments to the interest rate margin on any existing Term Loans that became effective subsequent to the Closing Date but prior to the effective time of the Incremental Term Loans shall also be included in such calculations, (3) customary arrangement, structuring, underwriting and commitment fees payable to the any arrangers (or any of their respective Affiliates) shall be excluded and (4) if the Incremental Term Loans include an interest rate floor greater than the interest rate floor applicable to the existing Term Loans (if any), such excess amount shall be equated to interest rate margins for purposes of determining whether an increase in the interest rate margins for the existing Term Loans shall be required under this Section 2.22(c)(iii) to the extent an increase in the interest rate floor in the existing Term Loans would cause an increase in the interest rate margins, and in such case the interest rate floor (but not the Applicable Margin) applicable to the existing Term Loans shall be increased by such increased amount;

(iv)           the Incremental Term Loans shall be (x) secured solely by the Collateral and on a pari passu basis with the Initial Term Loans and (y) incurred and Guaranteed solely by Loan Parties; and

(v)            to the extent that the terms and provisions of Incremental Term Loans are not identical to an outstanding Class of Term Loans (except to the extent permitted by clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above), such terms and conditions will either be (1) substantially identical to, or, taken as a whole, less favorable to the Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans than the Term Loans in existence immediately prior to the incurrence of such Incremental Term Loans, provided that, the terms and conditions applicable to such Incremental Term Loans may provide for any additional or different financial or other covenants or other provisions that are agreed between Borrower and the Lenders thereof and applicable only during periods after the Latest Maturity Date that is in effect immediately prior to the incurrence of such Incremental Term Loans or (2) otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

The increased or new Commitments shall be effected by a joinder agreement (the “Increase Joinder”) executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender making such increased or new Commitment, in form and substance satisfactory to each of them. The Increase Joinder may, without the consent of any other Lenders not making such increased or new Commitment, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this ‎Section 2.22. In addition, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, all references in the Loan Documents to Term Loans shall be deemed, unless the context otherwise requires, to include references to any Incremental Term Loans that are Term Loans made pursuant to this Agreement.

(d)            Making of New Term Loans. On any Increase Effective Date on which one or more Incremental Term Loan Commitments becomes effective, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, each Lender of such Incremental Term Loan Commitment shall make an Incremental Term Loan to the Borrower in an amount equal to its Incremental Term Loan Commitment.

(e)            Equal and Ratable Benefit. The Loans and Commitments established pursuant to this ‎Section 2.22 shall constitute Loans and Commitments under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the security interests created by the Collateral Documents.

Section 2.23.          Extension of Term Loans.

(a)            Extension of Term Loans. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, pursuant to one or more offers (each, a “Term Loan Extension Offer”), made from time to time by the Borrower to all Term Lenders holding Term Loans with like maturity date, on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate Term Loans with like maturity date) and on the same terms to each such Term Lender, the Borrower is hereby permitted (with the consent of the Lead Lenders) to consummate from time to time transactions with individual Term Lenders that accept the terms contained in such Term Loan Extension Offers to extend the scheduled maturity date with respect to all or a portion of any outstanding principal amount of such Term Lender’s Term Loans and otherwise modify the terms of such Term Loans pursuant to the terms of the relevant Term Loan Extension Offer (including, without limitation, by changing the interest rate or fees payable in respect of such Term Loan Commitments) (each, a “Term Loan Extension”, and each group of Term Loans, as so extended, as well as the original Term Loans not so extended, being a “tranche of Term Loans”, and any Extended Term Loan shall constitute a separate tranche of Term Loans from the tranche of Term Loans from which they were converted), so long as the following terms are satisfied:

(i)            no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time the offering document in respect of a Term Loan Extension Offer is delivered to the applicable Term Lenders (the “Term Loan Extension Offer Date”);

(ii)            except as to interest rates, fees, scheduled amortization payments of principal and final maturity (which shall be as set forth in the relevant Term Loan Extension Offer), the Term Loan of any Term Lender that agrees to a Term Loan Extension with respect to such Term Loan extended pursuant to an Extension Amendment (an “Extended Term Loan”), shall be a Term Loan with the same terms as the original Term Loans; provided that (1) the permanent repayment of Extended Term Loans after the applicable Term Loan Extension shall be made on a pro rata basis with all other Term Loans, except that the Borrower shall be permitted to permanently repay any such tranche of Term Loans on a better than a pro rata basis as compared to any other tranche of Term Loans with a later maturity date than such tranche of Term Loans, (2) assignments and participations of Extended Term Loans shall be governed by the same assignment and participation provisions applicable to Term Loans, (3) the relevant Extension Amendment may provide for other covenants and terms that apply solely to any period after the Latest Maturity Date that is in effect on the effective date of such Extension Amendment (immediately prior to the establishment of such Extended Term Loans), (4) Extended Term Loans may have call protection as may be agreed by the Borrower and the applicable Term Lenders of such Extended Term Loans, (5) no Extended Term Loans may be optionally prepaid prior to the date on which all Term Loans with an earlier Maturity Date are repaid in full, unless such optional prepayment is accompanied by a pro rata optional prepayment of such other Term Loans and (6) at no time shall there be Term Loans hereunder (including Extended Term Loans and any original Term Loans) which have more than five different maturity dates;

(iii)           all documentation in respect of such Term Loan Extension shall be consistent with the foregoing; and

(iv)           any applicable Minimum Extension Condition shall be satisfied unless waived by the Borrower. For the avoidance of doubt, no Term Lender shall be obligated to accept any Term Loan Extension Offer.

(b)            Minimum Extension Condition. With respect to all Term Loan Extensions consummated by the Borrower pursuant to this ‎Section 2.23, (i) such Term Loan Extensions shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of ‎Section 2.09 or ‎Section 2.10 and (ii) each Term Loan Extension Offer shall specify the minimum amount of Term Loans to be tendered, which shall be a minimum amount approved by the Administrative Agent (a “Minimum Extension Condition”). The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the transactions contemplated by this ‎Section 2.23 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Term Loans on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Term Loan Extension Offer) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any such Term Loan Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this ‎Section 2.23.

(c)            Extension Amendment. The consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required to effectuate any Term Loan Extension, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. No consent of any Lender shall be required to effectuate any Term Loan Extension, other than the consent of each Lender agreeing to such Term Loan Extension with respect to one or more of its Term Loans (or a portion thereof), as applicable. All Extended Term Loans and all obligations in respect thereof shall be Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that are secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with all other applicable Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (each, an “Extension Amendment”) with the Borrower as may be necessary in order to establish new tranches or sub-tranches in respect of Term Loans so extended and such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in connection with the establishment of such new tranches or sub-tranches, in each case on terms consistent with this ‎Section 2.23.

(d)            In connection with any Term Loan Extension, the Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent at least five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior written notice thereof, and shall agree to such procedures (including, without limitation, regarding timing, rounding and other adjustments and to ensure reasonable administrative management of the credit facilities hereunder after such Term Loan Extension), if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this.

Section 2.24.          Revolving Facility Maturity Extensions.

(a)            The Borrower may request upon at least fifteen (15) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Revolving Lenders and the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period of time as may be approved by the Revolving Lenders), and Delta in its sole and absolute discretion may agree, to (a) [reserved] or (b) extend the Scheduled Maturity Date with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility (which extended Scheduled Maturity Date may be inside the Scheduled Maturity Date with respect to the Term Loan Facility) or the Revolving Availability Period, in each case, on conditions required by Delta (which may include an increase in the interest rate).

(b)            The extended Revolving Credit Facility shall be effected by an amendment agreement executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Revolving Lender making such extended Revolving Commitment, in form and substance satisfactory to each of them. Such amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders not making such extended Revolving Commitment, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this ‎Section 2.24. In addition, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, all references in the Loan Documents to Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments shall be deemed, unless the context otherwise requires, to include references to the loans and commitments under such amended Revolving Facility. This Section 2.24 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.14 or ‎Section 10.08 to the contrary.

Section 2.25.          Refinancing Amendment.

(a)            The Borrower, with the consent of the Lead Lenders, may refinance, replace or modify all or any portion of any tranche or tranches of the Loans then outstanding (the “Refinanced Term Loans”) with Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness (“Replacement Loans”) pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment; provided that:

(i)            the obligations in respect of such Replacement Loans shall be (1) Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (and thus guaranteed on a pari passu basis with all the other Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents) and (2) secured by the Collateral but no other property (and secured on a pari passu basis with the Liens on the Collateral);

(ii)            such Replacement Loans may have such pricing (including interest, fees and premiums) and other economic terms as may be agreed by the Borrower and the Lenders thereof;

(iii)           such Replacement Loans, subject to clause (ii) above, will have terms and conditions that are either substantially identical to, or, taken as a whole, less favorable to the Lenders providing such Replacement Loans than the Refinanced Term Loans provided that the terms and conditions applicable to such Replacement Loans may provide for any additional or different financial or other covenants or other provisions that are agreed between Borrower and the Lenders thereof and applicable only during periods after the Latest Maturity Date that is in effect immediately prior to the incurrence of such Replacement Loans; and

(iv)           the proceeds of such Replacement Loans shall be applied, substantially concurrently with the incurrence thereof, to the prepayment of the Refinanced Term Loans.

(b)            The effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment shall be subject, to the extent reasonably requested by the Lead Lenders, receipt by the Administrative Agent of legal opinions, board resolutions and officers’ certificates consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 4.01.

(c)            Upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Replacement Loans incurred pursuant thereto (including any amendments necessary to treat the Replacement Loans subject thereto as “Loans” and “Term Loans” or “Revolving Loans”, as applicable, and the Lenders providing such Replacement Loans as “Lenders”).

(d)            Any Refinancing Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders who are not providing Replacement Loans, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Lead Lenders and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this ‎Section 2.25. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Refinancing Amendment.

(e)            This ‎Section 2.25 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.14 or ‎Section 10.08 to the contrary.

(f)            For the avoidance of doubt, in connection with the repayment of any Refinanced Term Loans, the Lenders holding such Refinanced Term Loans shall be entitled to payment of any premium payable pursuant to Section 2.10(c) as if such Refinanced Term Loans had been prepaid pursuant to Section 2.10(c), other than to the extent such Lenders accept Replacement Loans in exchange for their Refinanced Term Loans.

(6)            the repurchase of Equity Interests or other securities deemed to occur upon (A) the exercise of stock options, warrants or other securities convertible or exchangeable into Equity Interests or any other securities, to the extent such Equity Interests or other securities represent a portion of the exercise price of those stock options, warrants or other securities convertible or exchangeable into Equity Interests or any other securities or (B) the withholding of a portion of Equity Interests issued to employees and other participants under an equity compensation program of Borrower or its Subsidiaries to cover withholding tax obligations of such persons in respect of such issuance;

In the case of any Restricted Payment that is not cash, the amount of such non-cash Restricted Payment will be the Fair Market Value on the date of the Restricted Payment of the asset(s) or securities proposed to be transferred or issued by Borrower or such Subsidiary of Borrower, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment.

For purposes of determining compliance with this ‎Section 6.01, if a Restricted Payment (or portion thereof) meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Restricted Payments described in clauses (1) through (17) of ‎Section 6.01(b), or is entitled to be made pursuant to ‎Section 6.01(a), or pursuant to any category set forth in the definition of Permitted Investments or other defined term used in Section 6.01, Borrower will be entitled to classify on the date of its payment or later reclassify such Restricted Payment (or portion thereof) in any manner that complies with this ‎Section 6.01.

For the avoidance of doubt, the payment on or with respect to, or purchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value of any Indebtedness of Borrower or any Subsidiary of Borrower that is not subordinated to the Obligations in right of payment or distributions from or Lien in the Collateral or unsecured shall not constitute a Restricted Payment and therefore will not be subject to any of the restrictions described in this ‎Section 6.01.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.01 or any of the definitions or covenants contained in this Agreement to the contrary, no Loan Party shall sell, transfer or otherwise Dispose of (other than non-exclusive licenses that are Permitted Dispositions), or grant an exclusive license or sublicense of, any Material Intellectual Property to any Person other than another Loan Party (including by making an Investment in the form of a sale, transfer or other disposition of, or an exclusive license or sublicense of, Material Intellectual Property), but excluding the granting of any Lien securing the EETC Obligations.

Section 6.02.          Indebtedness. Borrower will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or guaranty or otherwise become or remain directly or indirectly liable with respect to any Indebtedness for borrowed money (including in the form of Disqualified Stock), except for:

(a)            Permitted Debt of a Loan Party and any Guarantees of a Loan Party in respect thereof; provided that any Permitted Debt shall (i) not be secured other than as permitted by clause (1) of the definition of Permitted Liens and (ii) not be subject to or benefit from any Guarantee by any Person that does not also Guarantee the Obligations; provided, further, that any Permitted Debt (other than any EETC Obligations, which may be senior or superpriority in right of payments from the EETC Collateral to the Obligations) shall be pari passu in right of payment with the Obligations;

(b)            Junior Lien Indebtedness of the Loan Parties and any Guarantees of a Loan Party in respect thereof; provided that either (i) such Junior Lien Indebtedness is Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of Permitted Debt, (ii) the aggregate amount of any such Junior Lien Indebtedness shall not exceed an aggregate principal amount of $5 million at any time outstanding or (iii) such Junior Lien Indebtedness is Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above (or any successive Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness); provided, further, that any Junior Lien Indebtedness shall not be secured other than as permitted by clause (2) of the definition of Permitted Liens; provided further that in the event such Indebtedness being Guaranteed is subordinated in right of payment to the Loans, then the related Guarantee shall be subordinated in right of payment to the Loans or the Guarantees guaranteeing the Loans, as the case may be;

(d)            unsecured Indebtedness of the Loan Parties that is Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of either Permitted Debt or Junior Lien Indebtedness (or any successive Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness) and any Guarantees of a Loan Party in respect of any of the foregoing; provided that (i) such Indebtedness shall not be subject to or benefit from any Guarantee by any Person that does not also Guarantee the Obligations, (ii) such Indebtedness shall be pari passu in right of payment with the Obligations or subordinated in right of payment with the Obligations, with any such subordinated obligation on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and (iii) in the event such Indebtedness being Guaranteed is subordinated in right of payment to the Loans, then the related Guarantee shall be subordinated in right of payment to the Loans or the Guarantees guaranteeing the Loans, as the case may be;

(e)            unsecured Indebtedness of Borrower and its Subsidiaries in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $5 million at any time outstanding;

(f)            letters of credit, bank guarantees, bankers’ assurances or acceptances, surety bonds, insurance bonds and similar instruments entered into in the ordinary course of business;

(g)            Hedging Obligations in respect of Hedging Agreements that are not for speculative purposes;

(h)            Indebtedness of Borrower or any Subsidiary incurred to finance the acquisition, construction or improvement of any fixed or capital assets, including sale and lease back transactions, Capital Lease Obligations and any Indebtedness assumed in connection with the acquisition of any such assets or secured by a Lien on any such assets prior to the acquisition thereof, and extensions, renewals and replacements of any such Indebtedness that do not increase the outstanding principal amount thereof; provided that (i) such Indebtedness is incurred in connection with such sale and lease back prior to or within 180 days after such acquisition or the completion of such construction or improvement and (ii) the aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness permitted by this Section 6.02(h) shall not exceed $5.0 million at any time outstanding;

(i)            Indebtedness in respect of the Existing Letter of Credit Facilities not to exceed $10 million;

(j)            [reserved];

(k)            [reserved];

(l)            Indebtedness incurred pursuant to Section 8a of the German Old Age Employees Retirement Act (Altersteilzeitgesetz) or Section 7e of the Fourth Book of the German Social Security Code IV (Sozialgesetzbuch IV);

(m)           unsecured Guarantees of (i) Indebtedness for borrowed money permitted by this Section 6.02 or (ii) other Indebtedness not constituting Indebtedness for borrowed money; provided that such Guarantee of such Indebtedness is not prohibited by the terms of this Agreement; provided, further, that in the event such Indebtedness being guaranteed is subordinated to the Loans, then the related Guarantee shall be subordinated in right of payment to the Loans or the Guarantees guaranteeing the Loans, as the case may be; and

(n)            intercompany Indebtedness among Borrower and its Subsidiaries; provided that (i) any such Indebtedness owing by a Loan Party shall be subordinated to the Obligations pursuant to an Intercompany Note or otherwise on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and (ii) any such intercompany Indebtedness shall be evidenced by an Intercompany Note pursuant to the provisions contained therein and (iii) any such Indebtedness owing to a Loan Party shall be pledged pursuant to the Security Agreement.

For the avoidance of doubt, a permitted refinancing in respect of Indebtedness incurred pursuant to a Dollar-denominated basket shall not increase capacity to incur Indebtedness under such Dollar-denominated basket, and such Dollar-denominated basket shall be deemed to continue to be utilized by the amount of the original Indebtedness incurred unless and until the Indebtedness incurred to effect such permitted refinancing is no longer outstanding.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, for so long as any Subsidiary of the Borrower is not a Loan Party, such Subsidiary shall not be permitted to guarantee or incur any Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or obligations other than (x) Indebtedness permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 7.01 (except for Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under Section 7.01(b), (e), (h) or (i)) and (y) any other Indebtedness or obligations consented to by the Lead Lenders.

Section 6.03.          Disposition of Assets. Neither Borrower nor any Subsidiary shall sell or otherwise Dispose of any asset or other property (including, without limitation, by way of any Sale of a Loan Party) except that such sale or other Disposition shall be permitted in the case of (1) a Permitted Disposition or (2) any other sale or Disposition so long as: (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom, (ii) at least 75% of the consideration for such sale or Disposition shall consist of cash or Cash Equivalents, (iii) such sale or other Disposition shall be for Fair Market Value and shall be on terms that are not materially less favorable to Borrower or the relevant Subsidiary (taking into account all effects Borrower or such Subsidiary expects to result from such transaction whether tangible or intangible) than those that would have been obtained in an arm’s length transaction and (iv) to the extent that the Borrower receives any Net Proceeds from such sale or other Disposition, such Net Proceeds shall be applied as provided under ‎Section 2.09; provided that nothing contained in this ‎Section 6.03 is intended to excuse performance by the Borrower or any Guarantor of any requirement of any Collateral Document that would be applicable to a Disposition permitted hereunder. A Disposition of Collateral referred to in clause ‎(d) or ‎(h) of the definition of “Permitted Disposition” shall not result in the automatic release of such Collateral from the security interest of the applicable Collateral Document, and the Collateral subject to such Disposition shall continue to constitute Collateral for all purposes of the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.03 or any of the definitions or covenants contained in this Agreement to the contrary, no Loan Party shall sell, transfer or otherwise Dispose of (other than non-exclusive licenses that are Permitted Dispositions), or grant an exclusive license or sublicense of, any Material Intellectual Property to any Person other than another Loan Party, other than the granting of any Lien securing the EETC Obligations.

Section 6.04.          Transactions with Affiliates.

(1)            the Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are not materially less favorable to Borrower or the relevant Subsidiary (taking into account all effects Borrower or such Subsidiary expects to result from such transaction whether tangible or intangible) than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by Borrower or such Subsidiary with an unrelated Person; and

(2)            ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ delivers to the Administrative Agent:

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, for so long as any Subsidiary of the Borrower is not a Loan Party, such Subsidiary shall not be permitted to create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien upon any of its property or assets of any kind (real or personal, tangible or intangible) other than (x) Liens incurred to secure Obligations in respect of Indebtedness permitted to be Incurred pursuant to Section 7.01 (except for Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under Section 7.01(b), (e), (h) or (i)) or (y) any other Liens consented to by the Lead Lenders.

Article 8.

THE AGENTS

Section 8.01.          Administration by Agents.

(a)            Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints the entity named as Administrative Agent in the heading of this Agreement and its successors and assigns to serve as the administrative agent under the Loan Documents and the entity named as Collateral Agent in the heading of this Agreement and its successors and assigns to serve as its Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders authorizes each such Agent to take such actions as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to such Agent by the terms hereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, including (but not limited to) the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents to which such Agent is a party and the performance of all rights, powers, remedies and duties that such Agent may have under such Loan Documents. In addition, to the extent required under the laws of any jurisdiction other than within the United States, each Lender hereby grants to such Agent any required powers of attorney to execute and enforce any Collateral Document governed by the laws of such jurisdiction on such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s behalf.

(b)            Each of the Lenders (i) irrevocably appoints the Local Collateral Agents pursuant to the terms of each Local Collateral Agency Agreement to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to such Local Collateral Agents by the terms of each Local Collateral Agency Agreement, as applicable, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, including (but not limited to) the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents to which each Local Collateral Agent is a party and the performance of duties as expressly stated thereunder and (ii) delegates each of the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent the authority to execute each Local Collateral Agency Agreement on its behalf, if applicable.

(c)            Each of the Lenders hereby acknowledges for the benefit of each Agent that in connection with the sale or other Disposition of any asset or property that constitutes Collateral of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, as the case may be, to the extent permitted by the terms of this Agreement, including without limitation upon any Permitted Disposition or as otherwise permitted under Section 6.03, that the Lien granted to such Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, if any, on the relevant asset shall be automatically released, other than in respect of any proceeds, products or Investment related thereto, if applicable.

(d)            Each of the Lenders hereby authorizes each Agent, as applicable:

(i)            if directed by the Lead Lenders in their sole discretion, to determine that the cost to the Borrower or any other Loan Party, as the case may be, is disproportionate to the benefit to be realized by the Secured Parties by perfecting a Lien in a given asset or group of assets included in the Collateral and that the Borrower or such other Loan Party, as the case may be, should not be required to perfect such Lien in favor of the Collateral Agent or any Local Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties;

(ii)            to enter into the other Loan Documents on terms acceptable to the Administrative Agent and to perform its respective obligations thereunder; and

(iii)           to enter into any other agreements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent granting Liens to the Collateral Agent or any Local Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, on any assets or properties of the Borrower or any other Loan Party to secure the Obligations.

(e)            In performing its functions and duties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, each Agent is acting solely on behalf of the Lenders (except in limited circumstances expressly provided for herein relating to the Administrative Agent’s maintenance of the Register), and its duties are entirely mechanical and administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(i)            no Agent assumes and no Agent shall be deemed to have assumed any obligation or duty or any other relationship as the agent, fiduciary or trustee of or for any Lender or holder of any other obligation other than as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, regardless of whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (and it is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” or “trustee” (or any similar term) herein or in any other Loan Document with reference to such Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary duty or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law, and that such term is used as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties); additionally, each Lender agrees that it will not assert any claim against any Agent based on an alleged breach of fiduciary duty by such Agent in connection with this Agreement and/or the transactions contemplated hereby; and

(ii)            nothing in this Agreement or any Loan Document shall require any Agent to account to any Lender for any sum or the profit element of any sum received by any Agent for its own account.

100

Section 8.02.          Rights of Agents. Any institution serving as an Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and such institution and its respective Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate of the Loan Parties as if it were not an Agent hereunder.

Section 8.03.          Liability of Agents.

(a)            The Agents shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein, and no duties, responsibilities or obligations shall be inferred or implied against any Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) the Agents shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) as to any matters not expressly provided for herein and in the other Loan Documents (including enforcement or collection), the Agents shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the written instructions of the Lead Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, pursuant to the terms in the Loan Documents, or in the case of the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent), and, unless and until revoked in writing, such instructions shall be binding upon each Lender; provided, however, that no Agent shall be required to take any action that (x) such Agent in good faith believes exposes it to liability unless such Agent receives an indemnification and is exculpated in a manner satisfactory to it from the Lenders with respect to such action or (y) is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or applicable law, including any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any requirement of law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors; provided, further, that such Agent may seek clarification or direction from the Lead Lenders prior to the exercise of any such instructed action and may refrain from acting until such clarification or direction has been provided to the Agent’s reasonable satisfaction and (iii) except as expressly set forth herein, the Agents shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of Borrower’s Subsidiaries or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing that is communicated to or obtained by the institution or Person serving as an Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. No Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be (i) liable for any action taken or not taken by such party, any Agent or any of its Related Parties under or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (x) with the consent or at the request of the Lead Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in ‎Section 10.08) or (y) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct (such absence to be presumed unless otherwise determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and non-appealable judgment) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by such Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with such Agent’s reliance on any Electronic Signature transmitted by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page) or for any failure of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any (i) notice of any of the events or circumstances set forth or described in ‎Section 5.01 unless and until written notice thereof stating that it is a “notice under ‎Section 5.01” in respect of this Agreement and identifying the specific clause under said Section is given to such Agent by the Borrower, or (ii) notice of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice thereof (stating that it is a “notice of Default” or a “notice of an Event of Default”) is given to such Agent by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or a Lender and such Agent shall not be responsible for, or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into, (A) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (B) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (C) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (D) the sufficiency, validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (E) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in ‎Article 4 or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items (which on their face purport to be such items) expressly required to be delivered to such Agent or satisfaction of any condition that expressly refers to the matters described therein being acceptable or satisfactory to such Agent.

101

(b)            Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (which writing may be a fax, any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) or any statement made to it orally or by telephone believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper party or parties (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the maker thereof) and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, at the expense of the Borrower, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

(c)            Each Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by it. Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers through its Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article 8 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of such Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities pursuant to this Agreement. No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agent except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that such Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agent.

(d)            The Agents shall not be responsible for and shall make no representation as to (i) the existence, genuineness, value or protection of any Collateral, (ii) the legality, effectiveness or sufficiency of any Collateral Document, or (iii) the creation, perfection, priority, sufficiency or protection of any Collateral Liens. Nothing herein or in any other Loan Document shall require any Agent to file financing statements or continuation statements, or be responsible for maintaining the security interests purported to be created as described herein (except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document) and such responsibility shall be solely that of the Borrower.

102

(e)            Nothing in this Agreement shall require any Agent to expend or risk any of their own funds or otherwise incur any liability, financial or otherwise, in the performance of any of their duties hereunder or under the Loan Documents or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

(f)            In no event shall any Agent be responsible or liable for special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including loss of profit) irrespective of whether such Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

(g)            No Agent shall incur any liability for not performing any act or fulfilling any duty, obligation or responsibility hereunder by reason of any occurrence beyond the control of any such Agent (including any act or provision of any present or future law or regulation or governmental authority, any act of God or war, civil unrest, local or national disturbance or disaster, any act of terrorism, or the unavailability of the Federal Reserve Board’s wire or facsimile or other wire or communication facility).

(h)            Each Agent shall have the right to, unilaterally and without prior notice, remove itself or not comply with any obligation that would reasonably be expected to result in violation of Sanctions. The parties hereto expressly agree that no Agent shall be liable for not performing and/or delaying the receipt or the payment of any amount solely due to such Agent’s compliance with Sanctions.

(i)            The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of any Agent and any such sub-agent and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Agent.

(j)            Without limiting the foregoing, each Agent (1) may treat the payee of any promissory note as its holder until such promissory note has been assigned in accordance with ‎Section 10.02, (2) may rely on the Register to the extent set forth in ‎Section 10.02, (3) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts, (4) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statements, warranties or representations made by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Loan Party or Guarantor in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (5) in determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless such Agent shall have received written notice to the contrary from such Lender sufficiently in advance of the making of such Loan.

(k)            In case of the pendency of any proceeding with respect to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries under any Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or any reimbursement obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

103

(i)            to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (including any claim under Sections ‎2.06, ‎Section 2.13, ‎Section 2.16 and ‎10.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(ii)            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 proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and each other Secured Party to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders or the other Secured Parties, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due to it, in its capacity as the Administrative Agent, under the Loan Documents (including under ‎Section 10.04). Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

(l)            The provisions of this Article 8 are solely for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders, and, except solely to the extent of the Borrower’s rights to consent pursuant to and subject to the conditions set forth in this Article 8, none of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, or any of their respective Affiliates, shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary under any such provisions. Each Secured Party, whether or not a party hereto, will be deemed, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Collateral and of the Guarantees of the obligations provided under the Loan Documents, to have agreed to the provisions of this Article 8.

Section 8.04.          Reimbursement and Indemnification. Each Lender severally agrees (a) to reimburse on demand each Agent (acting in its capacity as such) for such Lender’s Aggregate Exposure Percentage of any expenses and fees incurred for the benefit of the Lenders under this Agreement and any of the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, counsel fees and compensation of agents and employees paid for services rendered on behalf of the Lenders, and any other expense incurred in connection with the operations or enforcement thereof, not reimbursed by the Loan Parties and (b) to indemnify and hold harmless each Agent and any of its Related Parties, on demand, in the amount equal to such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Aggregate Exposure Percentage, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against it or any of them in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by it or any of them under this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents to the extent not reimbursed by the Loan Parties; provided that the indemnification set forth in this clause (b) shall not, as to any Agent or its Related Parties, be available to the extent that such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent or such Related Party, as applicable.

104

Section 8.05.          Successor Agents.

(a)            Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Borrower as to such resignation. Upon any such resignation by the Administrative Agent, the Lead Lenders shall have the right, with the consent (provided that no Event of Default or Default has occurred and is continuing) of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Lead Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, with the consent (provided no Event of Default or Default has occurred or is continuing) of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), appoint a successor Administrative Agent with respect to the scope of its resignation which, in the case of the retiring Administrative Agent, shall be a bank institution with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties for which the Administrative Agent is retiring, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from such duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents that are applicable thereto (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, any rights, powers, privileges and duties from which the Administrative Agent is not resigning). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed among the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article 8 and ‎Section 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as an Administrative Agent.

(b)            Notwithstanding Section 8.05(a), in the event no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its intent to resign, the retiring Administrative Agent may give notice of the effectiveness of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower, whereupon, on the date of effectiveness of such resignation stated in such notice, (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from such duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents that are applicable thereto (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, any rights, powers, privileges and duties from which the Administrative Agent is not resigning); provided that, solely for purposes of maintaining any security interest granted to the Administrative Agent under any Collateral Document, if applicable, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to be vested with such security interest as collateral agent for the benefit of the Lenders, and continue to be entitled to the rights set forth in such Collateral Documents and the Loan Document, and, in the case of any Collateral in the possession of the Administrative Agent, shall continue to hold such Collateral, in each case until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed and accepts such appointment in accordance with this Section (it being understood and agreed that to the extent the retiring Administrative Agent resigned from such duty, the retiring Administrative Agent shall have no duty or obligation to take any further action under any Collateral Document, including any action required to maintain the perfection of any such security interest), and (2) the Lead Lenders shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties from which such Administrative Agent retired (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, any rights, powers, privileges and duties from which such Administrative Agent is not resigning); provided that (a) all payments required to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Person other than the Administrative Agent shall be made directly to such Person and (b) all notices and other communications required or contemplated to be given or made to the Administrative Agent shall directly be given or made to each Lender. Following the effectiveness of the Administrative Agent’s resignation from its capacity as such, the provisions of this Article 8 and ‎Section 10.04, as well as any exculpatory, reimbursement and ‎indemnification provisions set forth in any other Loan Document, shall continue in effect for the benefit of the retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent and in respect of the matters referred to in the proviso under ‎Section 8.07(a).

105

(c)            The Collateral Agent may resign or be removed and a replacement Collateral Agent appointed all in accordance with Sections 8.05(a) and (b) as applies to the Administrative Agent mutatis mutandis. Following the effectiveness of the Collateral Agent’s resignation or removal from its capacity as such, the provisions of this Article 8 and ‎Section 10.04, as well as any exculpatory, reimbursement and indemnification provisions set forth in any other Loan Document, shall continue in effect for the benefit of the retiring Collateral Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Collateral Agent was acting as Collateral Agent.

Section 8.06.          Independent Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Section 8.07.          Advances and Payments.

(a)            On the date of each Loan, the Administrative Agent shall be authorized (but not obligated) to advance, for the account of each of the Lenders, the amount of the Loan to be made by such Lender in accordance with such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Commitment hereunder. Should the Administrative Agent do so, each of the Lenders agrees forthwith to reimburse the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds for the amount so advanced on its behalf by the Administrative Agent, together with interest at the Federal Funds Rate if not so reimbursed on the date due from and including the date such Loan was advanced by the Administrative Agent but not including the date of reimbursement.

(b)            Any amounts received by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement (other than amounts to which the Administrative Agent is entitled pursuant to Sections 2.16, 2.17, ‎8.04 and ‎10.04), the application of which is not otherwise provided for in this Agreement, shall be applied in accordance with ‎Section 2.14(b). All amounts to be paid to a Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be credited to that ▇▇▇▇▇▇, after collection by the Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds either by wire transfer or deposit in that ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s correspondent account with the Administrative Agent, as such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and the Administrative Agent shall from time to time agree.

Section 8.08.          Sharing of Setoffs. Subject to the application of payments in ‎Section 2.14(b), each Lender agrees that, except to the extent this Agreement expressly provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender, if it shall, through the exercise either by it or any of its banking Affiliates of a right of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim against any Loan Party under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of its Loans as a result of which the unpaid portion of its Loans is proportionately less than the unpaid portion of the Loans of any other Lender (a) it shall promptly purchase at par (and shall be deemed to have thereupon purchased) from such other Lender a participation in the Loans of such other Lender, so that the aggregate amount of each Lender’s Loans and its participation in Loans of the other Lenders shall be in the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans then outstanding as the amount of its Loans prior to the obtaining of such payment was to the amount of all Loans prior to the obtaining of such payment and (b) such other adjustments shall be made from time to time as shall be equitable to ensure that the Lenders share such payment pro rata; provided that if any such non pro rata payment is thereafter recovered or otherwise set aside, such purchase of participations shall be rescinded (without interest). The Borrower expressly consent to the foregoing arrangements and agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that any Lender holding (or deemed to be holding) a participation in a Loan acquired pursuant to this Section or any of its banking Affiliates may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by the Borrower to such Lender as fully as if such Lender was the original obligee thereon, in the amount of such participation. The provisions of this ‎Section 8.08 shall not be construed to apply to (a) any payment made by the Borrower or the Guarantors pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (b) any payment obtained by any Lender as consideration for the assignment or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or other Obligations owed to it.

106

Section 8.09.          Withholding Taxes. To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any withholding tax applicable to such payment. If any Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason, or the Administrative Agent has paid over to any Governmental Authority the applicable withholding tax relating to a payment to a Lender but no deduction has been made from such payment, without duplication of any indemnification obligations set forth in ‎Section 8.04 or ‎Section 2.13(g) (and without limiting any obligations of the Borrower or any Guarantor pursuant to ‎Section 2.13) such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with any expenses incurred.

Section 8.10.          Appointment by Secured Parties. Each Secured Party that is not a party to this Agreement shall be deemed to have appointed the Administrative Agent as its agent and the Collateral Agent and each Local Collateral Agent as its collateral agent under the Loan Documents in accordance with the terms of this ‎Article 8 and to have acknowledged that the provisions of this ‎Article 8 apply to such Secured Party mutatis mutandis as though it were a party hereto (and any acceptance by such Secured Party of the benefits of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be deemed an acknowledgment of the foregoing).

Section 8.11.          Posting of Communications.

(a)            The Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make any Communications available to the Lenders by posting the Communications on IntraLinks™, DebtDomain, SyndTrak, ClearPar or any other electronic platform chosen by the Administrative Agent to be its electronic transmission system (the “Approved Electronic Platform”).

(b)            Although the Approved Electronic Platform and its primary web portal are secured with generally-applicable security procedures and policies implemented or modified by the Administrative Agent from time to time (including, as of the Closing Date, a user ID/password authorization system) and the Approved Electronic Platform is secured through a per-deal authorization method whereby each user may access the Approved Electronic Platform only on a deal-by-deal basis, each of the Lenders and the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure, that the Administrative Agent is not responsible for approving or vetting the representatives or contacts of any Lender that are added to the Approved Electronic Platform, and that there may be confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution. Each of the Lenders and the Borrower hereby approves distribution of the Communications through the Approved Electronic Platform and understands and assumes the risks of such distribution.

107

(c)            THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE COMMUNICATIONS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. THE APPLICABLE PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS, OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND 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 THE APPLICABLE PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES (COLLECTIVELY, “APPLICABLE PARTIES”) HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO THE BORROWER OR ANY GUARANTOR OR LOAN PARTY, 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 THE BORROWER OR ANY GUARANTOR OR LOAN PARTY OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM.

“Communications” shall mean, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material provided by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed by the Administrative Agent, any Lender by means of electronic communications pursuant to this Section, including through an Approved Electronic Platform.

(d)            Each Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that Communications have been posted to the Approved Electronic Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees (i) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (which could be in the form of electronic communication) from time to time of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s email address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and (ii) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such email address.

(e)            Each of the Lenders and the Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but (except as may be required by applicable law) shall not be obligated to, store the Communications on the Approved Electronic Platform in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s generally applicable document retention procedures and policies.

(f)            Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document.

108

Section 8.12.          Agents Individually. With respect to its Commitment and Loans, each Person serving as an Agent shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and is subject to the same obligations and liabilities as and to the extent set forth herein for any other Lender. The terms “Lenders”, “Required Lenders” and any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include each Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender or as one of the Required Lenders, as applicable. Each Person serving as an Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing as if such Person was not acting as an Agent and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

Section 8.13.          Acknowledgements of Lenders.

(a)            Each Lender represents and warrants that (1) the Loan Documents set forth the terms of a commercial lending facility, (2) it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans and in providing other facilities set forth herein as may be applicable to such Lender, in each case in the ordinary course of business, and not for the purpose of purchasing, acquiring or holding any other type of financial instrument (and each Lender agrees not to assert a claim in contravention of the foregoing), (3) it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement as a Lender, and to make, acquire or hold Loans hereunder and (4) it is sophisticated with respect to decisions to make, acquire and/or hold commercial loans and to provide other facilities set forth herein, as may be applicable to such Lender, and either it, or the Person exercising discretion in making its decision to make, acquire and/or hold such commercial loans or to provide such other facilities, is experienced in making, acquiring or holding such commercial loans or providing such other facilities. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information (which may contain material, non-public information within the meaning of the United States securities laws concerning the Borrower and their Affiliates) as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

(b)            Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement on the Closing Date, or delivering its signature page to an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement or any other Loan Document pursuant to which it shall become a Lender hereunder, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Loan Document and each other document required to be delivered to, or be approved by or satisfactory to, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Lenders on the Closing Date.

(c)            Each Lender hereby agrees that (x) if the Administrative Agent notifies such Lender that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Lender from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, a “Payment”) were erroneously transmitted to such Lender (whether or not known to such ▇▇▇▇▇▇), and demands the return of such Payment (or a portion thereof), such Lender shall promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect, and (y) to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender shall not assert, and hereby waives, as to the Administrative Agent, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Payments received, including without limitation any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender under this ‎Section 8.13(c) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

109

(i)            Each Lender hereby further agrees that if it receives a Payment from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Payment (a “Payment Notice”) or (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, it shall be on notice, in each such case, that an error has been made with respect to such Payment. Each Lender agrees that, in each such case, or if it otherwise becomes aware a Payment (or portion thereof) may have been sent in error, such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence in writing and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.

(ii)            The Borrower and each Guarantor hereby agrees that an erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any Guarantor, except, in each case, to the extent such Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower or any Guarantor for the purpose of making such Payment.

(iii)           The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries hereby agrees that (x) in the event an erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) are not recovered from any Lender that has received such Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Lender with respect to such amount and (y) an erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.

(iv)           Each party’s obligations under this ‎Section 8.13(c) shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations under any Loan Document.

For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall limit or waive any of the Borrower’s or any Guarantor’s rights or remedies to enforce return of any Payment.

Section 8.14.          Disqualified Lenders. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions of this Agreement relating to Disqualified Lenders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not (a) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a Disqualified Lender or (b) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Commitments or Loans, or disclosure of confidential information, to any Disqualified Lender.

110

Section 8.15.          Credit Bidding. The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Lead Lenders, to authorize the Collateral Agent to credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations (including by accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the interests in the Collateral. Notwithstanding that the ratable portion of the Obligations of each Secured Party are deemed assigned to the acquisition vehicle or vehicles as set forth in the Security Agreement, each Secured Party shall execute such documents and provide such information regarding the Secured Party (and/or any designee of the Secured Party which will receive interests in or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle) as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request in connection with the formation of any acquisition vehicle, the formulation or submission of any credit bid or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such credit bid.

The Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral (i) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar laws in any other jurisdictions to which a Loan Party is subject, or (ii) at any other sale, foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of the Lead Lenders) the Collateral Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in each case, in accordance with any applicable data privacy and data security laws and contractual obligations in respect of Intellectual Property, personal information or data used in connection therewith. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid by the Collateral Agent at the direction of the Lead Lenders on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that shall vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) for the asset or assets so purchased (or for the equity interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are issued in connection with such purchase). In connection with any such bid, (A) the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Lead Lenders) shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles and to assign any successful credit bid to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, (B) each of the Secured Parties’ ratable interests in the Obligations which were credit bid shall be deemed without any further action under this Agreement to be assigned to such vehicle or vehicles for the purpose of closing such sale, (C) the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Lead Lenders) shall be authorized to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by the Collateral Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or equity interests thereof, shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by, and the governing documents shall provide for, control by the Lead Lenders or their permitted assignees under the terms of this Agreement or the governing documents of the applicable acquisition vehicle or vehicles, as the case may be, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement), (D) the Collateral Agent on behalf of such acquisition vehicle or vehicles shall be authorized to issue to each of the Secured Parties, ratably on account of the relevant Obligations which were credit bid, interests, whether as equity, partnership interests, limited partnership interests or membership interests, in any such acquisition vehicle and/or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle, all without the need for any Secured Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (E) to the extent that Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of Obligations credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Secured Parties pro rata with their original interest in such Obligations and the equity interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of such Obligations shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action. This Section 8.15 is in all respects to the EETC Intercreditor.

111

Section 8.16.          Appointment of the Collateral Agent as Agent des sûretés. Without limiting the generality of any other provision applicable to the Collateral Agent (in particular under this Agreement), the appointment of the Collateral Agent shall include the appointment of the Collateral Agent as the security agent (agent des sûretés) of the Secured Parties for the purposes, inter alia, of receiving, administering and enforcing, any security document governed by French law and/or any rights or claims governed by French law (collectively, the “French Security”), in the Collateral Agent’s own name for the benefit of such Secured Parties, as creditors of the Obligations (as defined in the Credit Agreement), in accordance with articles 2488-6 to 2488-12 of the French Civil Code (Code civil), and that accordingly the Collateral Agent shall, in such capacity, enjoy the rights and prerogatives of an agent des sûretés in respect thereto. Each of the provisions of this Agreement shall apply with respect to such appointment of the Collateral Agent as agent des sûretés and are repeated mutatis mutandis in this article 8 (The Agents) with respect to its appointment as agent des sûretés, and each of the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that in accordance with such appointment as agent des sûretés:

(a)            The agent des sûretés, will, in such capacity, be the direct title holder (titulaire) of any French Security and the direct beneficiary of such French Security;

The rights and assets acquired by the agent des sûretés in carrying out its functions in such capacity will constitute separate property (patrimoine affecté) allocated thereto, distinct from its own property (patrimoine propre);

(b)            The foregoing provisions of this article 8 (The Agents) and the other provisions of this Agreement set forth the capacity in which the agent des sûretés has been so appointed, the purpose and the term of such appointment and the scope of its power in connection with such appointment for the purposes of Article 2488-7 of the French Civil Code; and

(c)            The agent des sûretés shall be entitled, without being required to prove the existence of a special mandate, to exercise any action necessary in order to defend the interests of the creditors of the Obligations (as defined in the Credit Agreement) in connection with the French Security, including filing claims in insolvency proceedings.

Article 9.

GUARANTY

Section 9.01.          Guaranty.

(a)            Each of the Guarantors, hereby jointly and severally, unconditionally, absolutely and irrevocably guarantees the due and punctual payment, when due, whether upon maturity, acceleration or otherwise, by the Borrower of the Obligations (including interest accruing on and after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy or of reorganization of the obligor whether or not post filing interest is allowed in such proceeding) (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations” and the obligations of each Guarantor in respect thereof, its “Guaranty Obligations”). Each of the Guarantors further agrees that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Guaranty Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and it will remain bound upon this guaranty notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any of the Guaranty Obligations. The Guaranty Obligations of the Guarantors shall be joint and several. Each of the Guarantors further agrees that its guaranty hereunder is a primary obligation of such Guarantor and not merely a contract of surety.

112

(b)            To the extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Guarantors waives presentation to, demand for payment from and protest to the Borrower or any other Guarantor, and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment. The obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall not, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be affected by (i) the failure of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Local Collateral Agents or a Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Borrower or any other Guarantor under the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise; (ii) any extension or renewal of any provision hereof or thereof; (iii) any rescission, waiver, compromise, acceleration, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of any of the Loan Documents; (iv) the release, exchange, waiver or foreclosure of any security held by the Collateral Agent or the Local Collateral Agents for the Obligations or any of them; (v) the failure of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Local Collateral Agents or a Lender to exercise any right or remedy against any other Guarantor; or (vi) the release or substitution of any Collateral or any other Guarantor.

(c)            To the extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Guarantors further agrees that this guaranty constitutes a guaranty of payment when due and not just of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Local Collateral Agents or a Lender to any security held for payment of the Obligations or to any balance of any deposit, account or credit on the books of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Local Collateral Agents or a Lender in favor of the Borrower or any other Guarantor, or to any other Person.

(d)            To the extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Guarantors hereby waives any defense that it might have based on a failure to remain informed of the financial condition of the Borrower and of any other Guarantor and any circumstances affecting the ability of the Borrower or any other Guarantor to perform under this Agreement.

(e)            To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor’s guaranty shall not be affected by the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Obligations or any other instrument evidencing any Obligations, or by the existence, validity, enforceability, perfection, or extent of any collateral therefor or by any other circumstance relating to the Obligations which might otherwise constitute a defense to this guaranty (other than Payment in Full in cash of the Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (other than those that constitute unasserted contingent indemnification obligations)). None of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any of the Lenders makes any representation or warranty in respect to any such circumstances or shall have any duty or responsibility whatsoever to any Guarantor in respect of the management and maintenance of the Obligations.

(f)            Upon the occurrence of the Obligations becoming due and payable (whether upon maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), the Lenders shall be entitled to immediate payment of such Obligations, together with any and all expenses which may be incurred by the Secured Parties in collecting any of the Obligations as provided hereunder, by the Guarantors upon written demand by the Administrative Agent.

113

Section 9.02.          No Impairment of Guaranty. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation or impairment for any reason, including, without limitation, any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, other than pursuant to a written agreement in compliance with ‎Section 10.08 and shall not be subject to any defense or set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Obligations. To the extent permitted by applicable law, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or a Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Agreement or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any provision hereof or thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of the Guarantors or would otherwise operate as a discharge of the Guarantors as a matter of law.

Section 9.03.          Continuation and Reinstatement, etc. Each Guarantor further agrees that its guaranty hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent any Lender or any other Secured Party upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or a Guarantor, or otherwise.

Section 9.04.          Subrogation. Upon payment by any Guarantor of any sums to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or a Lender hereunder, all rights of such Guarantor against the Borrower arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation or otherwise, shall in all respects be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior Payment in Full of all the Obligations (including interest accruing on and after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy or of reorganization of an obligor whether or not post filing interest is allowed in such proceeding). If any amount shall be paid to such Guarantor for the account of the Borrower relating to the Obligations prior to Payment in Full of the Obligations, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders to be credited and applied to the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.

Section 9.05.          Subordination. Any Indebtedness of any Guarantor now or hereafter owing to any other Guarantor or the Borrower is hereby subordinated to the Obligations. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, if the Administrative Agent so requests, all such Indebtedness of any Guarantor to another Guarantor or the Borrower shall be collected, enforced and received by such other Guarantor or the Borrower for the benefit of the Secured Parties and be paid over to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties on account of the Obligations of such Guarantor to the Secured Parties, but without affecting or impairing in any manner the liability of any other Loan Party under the other provisions of this Article 9. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor hereby agrees with the Secured Parties that it will not exercise any right of subrogation which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this guaranty (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise) until irrevocable Payment in Full of the Obligations in cash.

Section 9.06.          Right of Contribution. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that a Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Guarantor hereunder who has not paid its proportionate share of such payment. The provisions of this ‎Section 9.06 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, and each Guarantor shall remain liable to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder.

114

Section 9.07.          Discharge of Guaranty.

(a)            In the event of any sale or other Disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of any Guarantor (other than the Borrower), by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, or a sale or other Disposition of Capital Stock of any Guarantor (other than the Borrower) such that after giving effect to such sale or other Disposition such Guarantor is no longer a Subsidiary, in each case to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transactions) a Loan Party (and excluding the merger or consolidation of such Loan Party with or into any Loan Party), or (ii) the election by the Borrower to cause a Designated Guarantor to be an Excluded Subsidiary (provided that such Designated Guarantor is an Immaterial Subsidiary at such time of election), in each case, in a transaction permitted under this Agreement (together with an Officer’s Certificate from the Borrower certifying that such transaction is permitted under this Agreement), then such Guarantor (in the event of a sale or other Disposition, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, of all of the Capital Stock of such Guarantor or the election to cause a Designated Guarantor to be an Excluded Subsidiary) or the corporation acquiring the property (in the event of a sale or other Disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such Guarantor) will be automatically released and relieved of any obligations under its Guarantee of the Guaranteed Obligations; provided that no such release of any Guarantor shall be effective unless such Guarantor is substantially concurrently released from its Guarantees, if any, in respect of all other Permitted Debt and Junior Lien Indebtedness.

(b)            After receipt of the Officer’s Certificate referenced in ‎Section 9.07(a), the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Local Collateral Agents shall use commercially reasonable efforts to execute and deliver, at the Borrower’s expense, such documents as the Borrower or any such Guarantor may reasonably request to evidence the release of the guarantee of such Guarantor provided herein.

Section 9.08.          Amendments, etc. with Respect to the Obligations; Waiver of Rights. Each Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against any Guarantor and without notice to or further assent by any Guarantor, (a) any demand for payment of any of the Obligations made by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party may be rescinded by such party and any of the Obligations continued, (b) the Obligations, Collateral or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, (c) this Agreement, any other Loan Document and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith, may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Administrative Agent (or the Required Lenders, as the case may be) may deem advisable from time to time, subject to ‎Section 10.08 and (d) any Collateral, guaranty or right of offset at any time held by the Collateral Agent or the Local Collateral Agents, as applicable, the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party for the payment of the Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for the Obligations or for this guaranty or any property subject thereto. When making any demand hereunder against any Guarantor, the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on the Borrower or any other Guarantor, and any failure by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to make any such demand or to collect any payments from the Borrower or any other Guarantor or any release of the Borrower or any other Guarantor shall not relieve any Guarantor in respect of which a demand or collection is not made or any Guarantor not so released of its several obligations or liabilities hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, express or implied, or as a matter of law, of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party against any Guarantor. For the purposes hereof, “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

(b)            GmbH Guarantee Limitation Language

(i)            Save as set out in this paragraph (c), the Credit Parties shall not enforce, and any GmbH Guarantor (and/or the relevant subsidiary of a GmbH Guarantor) shall have a defence (Einrede) against, any Limited Upstream Obligation if and to the extent a discharge (Erfüllung) or enforcement (Vollstreckung) in respect of a Limited Upstream Obligation would cause a GmbH Capital Impairment to occur.

The restrictions in paragraph (i) shall not apply:

(1)            if and to the extent the Limited Upstream Obligation of the GmbH Guarantor secures any indebtedness under any Loan Document in respect of:

(A)            loans to the extent such loans are (directly or indirectly) on-lent or otherwise passed on to the relevant GmbH Guarantor or its Subsidiaries; or

bank guarantees or letters of credit that are issued for the benefit of any of the creditors of the GmbH Guarantor or the GmbH Guarantor’s Subsidiaries,

in each case, to the extent that any such on-lending or otherwise passing on or bank guarantees or letters of credit are still outstanding at the time of the enforcement of the relevant Limited Upstream Obligation; for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this paragraph (ii) shall have the effect that such on-lent amounts may be enforced multiple times (no double dip);

(2)            if, at the time of enforcement of the Limited Upstream Obligation, a DPLA (either directly or indirectly through an unbroken chain of domination and/or profit transfer agreements) exists between the relevant Loan Party whose obligations are secured by the relevant Limited Upstream Obligation as dominating company (herrschendes Unternehmen) and the relevant GmbH Guarantor as a dominated company (beherrschtes Unternehmen), provided that:

(A)            the GmbH Guarantor is a Subsidiary of the relevant Loan Party whose obligations are secured by the relevant Limited Upstream Obligation; or

117

the GmbH Guarantor and the relevant Loan Party whose obligations are secured by the relevant Limited Upstream Obligation are both Subsidiaries of a joint (direct or indirect) parent company and such parent company as dominating entity (beherrschendes Unternehmen),

in each case, unless a decision of the German Federal Supreme Court (Bundesgerichtshof) explicitly confirmed with reasons (and not, for example, as an obiter dictum) in a third party case that the mere existence of such DPLA does not lead to the inapplicability of § 30 (1) sentence 1 GmbHG;

(3)            if and to the extent any payment under the Limited Upstream Obligation is covered (gedeckt) by a fully valuable and recoverable consideration or recourse claim (vollwertiger Gegenleistungs- oder Rückgewähranspruch) of the GmbH Guarantor against the relevant Loan Party whose obligations are secured by the relevant Limited Upstream Obligation; or

if the relevant GmbH Guarantor has not complied with its obligations pursuant to paragraphs (iii) and/or (iv) (as applicable) below; however, if and to the extent that the relevant Limited Upstream Obligation has been enforced without regard to the restrictions contained in this paragraph (c) because the Management Notification and/or the Auditor’s Determination has not (or not in a timely manner) been delivered pursuant to paragraphs (iii) and/or (iv) (as applicable) below, but the Auditor’s Determination has then been delivered within two months from its due date in accordance with paragraphs (iv) below, the Credit Parties shall upon demand of the GmbH Guarantor to the Administrative Agent repay any amount received from the GmbH Guarantor which pursuant to the Auditor’s Determination would not have been available for enforcement, if the Auditor’s Determination had been delivered in a timely manner.

(ii)            If the relevant GmbH Guarantor does not notify the Administrative Agent within fifteen (15) Business Days after the making of a demand against that GmbH Guarantor under the relevant Limited Upstream Obligation:

(1)            to what extent such Limited Upstream Obligation is an upstream or cross-stream guarantee or indemnity; and

to what extent a GmbH Capital Impairment would occur as a result of an enforcement of the Limited Upstream Obligation (setting out in reasonable detail the amount of its GmbH Net Assets, providing an up-to-date pro forma balance sheet),

then the restrictions set out in paragraph (i) above shall cease to apply until a Management Notification has been provided.

(iii)            If the Administrative Agent disagrees with the Management Notification, it may within twenty (20) Business Days of its receipt, request the relevant GmbH Guarantor to provide to the Administrative Agent within forty-five (45) Business Days of receipt of such request a determination by auditors of international standard and reputation appointed by the GmbH Guarantor (at its own cost and expense) setting out in reasonable detail the amount in which the payment under the Limited Upstream Obligation would cause a GmbH Capital Impairment subject to the terms set out under this paragraph (c). Save for manifest errors, the Auditor’s Determination shall be binding on all parties.

118

If, after it has been provided with an Auditor’s Determination which prevented it from demanding any or only partial payment under the Limited Upstream Obligation, the Administrative Agent ascertains in good faith that the financial conditions of the GmbH Guarantor as set out in the Auditor’s Determination has substantially improved, the Administrative Agent (acting reasonably) may, at the GmbH Guarantor’s cost and expense, arrange for the preparation of an updated balance sheet of the GmbH Guarantor by applying the same principles that were used for the preparation of the Auditor’s Determination by the auditors who prepared the Auditor’s Determination in order for such auditors to determine whether (and, if so, to what extent) the GmbH Capital Impairment has been cured as result of the improvement of the financial condition of the GmbH Guarantor. The Administrative Agent may not arrange for the preparation of an Auditor’s Determination prior to the expiry of three months from the date of the issuance of the preceding Auditor’s Determination. The Administrative Agent may only demand payment under the Limited Upstream Obligation to the extent the Auditors determine that the GmbH Capital Impairment have been cured.

(iv)           The GmbH Net Assets shall be adjusted as follows:

(1)            the amount of any increase in the registered share capital of the relevant GmbH Guarantor which was carried out after the relevant GmbH Guarantor became a party to this Agreement and made from retained earnings (Kapitalerhöhung aus Gesellschaftsmitteln) shall be deducted from the amount of the registered share capital (Stammkapital) of the relevant GmbH Guarantor if it is not permitted under the Loan Documents and has been carried out without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent;

the amount of non-distributable assets according to § 253 (6) HGB shall not be included in the calculation of GmbH Net Assets;

(2)            the amount of non-distributable assets according to § 268 (8) HGB shall not be included in the calculation of GmbH Net Assets;

the amount of non-distributable assets according to § 272 (5) HGB shall not be included in the calculation of GmbH Net Assets; and

(3)            loans or other liabilities incurred by the relevant GmbH Guarantor in willful or grossly negligent violation of the Loan Documents shall not be taken into account as liabilities.

(v)            Where a GmbH Guarantor claims in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph (c) that the Guarantee can only be enforced in a limited amount, it shall realize, to the extent lawful and within reasonable opinion commercially justifiable, any and all of its assets that are shown in the balance sheet with a book value (Buchwert) that is significantly lower than the market value of the assets and are not necessary for the relevant GmbH Guarantor’s business (nicht betriebsnotwendig).

(i)            Save as set out in this paragraph (d), the Credit Parties shall not enforce, and any German Guarantor shall have a defence (Einrede) against, any Limited Upstream Obligation if and to the extent a payment and/or enforcement in respect of a Limited Upstream Obligation would cause a Liquidity Impairment for such German Guarantor.

119

Paragraphs (c)(iii), (c)(iv) and (c)(vii) above (including the repayment contemplated in (c)(ii)(4) above) shall apply mutatis mutandis to the restriction in paragraph (i) above.

(d)            Where the provisions of this Section 9.09 apply to a limited partnership (Kommanditgesellschaft), all references to the assets of a German Guarantor shall mutatis mutandis include a reference to the assets of the general partner (Komplementär) of such limited partnership (Kommanditgesellschaft).

In addition to the restrictions set out in paragraphs (b) through (e) above, if a German Guarantor demonstrates that, according to the decisions of the German Federal Supreme Court (Bundesgerichtshof) or a higher regional court of appeals (Oberlandesgericht), the payment under and/or enforcement of any Limited Upstream Obligation against such German Guarantor would result in personal liability of its managing director(s) (Geschäftsführer) or director(s) (Vorstände) for a reimbursement of payments made under any Limited Upstream Obligation (including, without limitation, pursuant to § 43 GmbHG, § 93 AktG and/or § 826 BGB), the German Guarantor shall have a defence (Einrede) against the Limited Upstream Obligation to the extent required in order not to incur such liability.

(e)            The restrictions set out in this Section 9.09 do not affect the rights of the Secured Parties to claim any outstanding amount again at a later point in time if and to the extent the restrictions set out in this Section 9.09 would allow such claim at that later point in time.

For the avoidance of doubt, the validity and enforceability of any Limited Upstream Obligation granted by a German Guarantor or of any subsidiary of a German Guarantor in respect of any borrowing liabilities which are owed by German Guarantor or any of its subsidiaries shall not be limited under this Section 9.09.

(f)            Nothing in this Section 9.09 shall prevent the Administrative Agent or a German Guarantor from claiming in court that payments under and/or an enforcement of the Limited Upstream Obligations do or do not fall within the scope of §§ 30, 31, 43 GmbHG, §§ 57, 71a, 93, 278 (3) AktG, § 15b (5) InsO, Art. 5 SE Regulation and/or § 826 BGB (as applicable).

Nothing in this Section 9.09 shall constitute a waiver (Verzicht) of any right granted under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the Administrative Agent or any other Credit Party or vice versa.

(g)            Each reference in this Section 9.09 to a statutory provision shall be construed to be a reference to the relevant equivalent statutory provision (if any) as amended, re-enacted or replaced from time to time.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, this Section 9.09 and any rights and/or obligations arising out of it shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, German law.

Section 9.10.          Limitation Language with respect to English Loan Parties (the “English Guarantee Limitations”).

(a)            No obligations and/or liabilities of any English Loan Party under or in connection with any Loan Document (including any Guaranteed Obligations) (the “English Loan Party Obligations”) will extend to include any obligation or liability to the extent that doing so would constitute unlawful financial assistance within the meaning of sections 678 or 679 of the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to English Loan Parties.

120

(b)            No Lien granted by a English Loan Party will secure any English Loan Party Obligations to the extent that doing so would constitute unlawful financial assistance within the meaning of sections 678 or 679 of the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to English Loan Parties.

(c)            If, notwithstanding the foregoing paragraphs, the giving of the guarantee in respect of the English Loan Party Obligations or any Lien (including a Lien over the Capital Stock of a English Loan Party) would constitute unlawful financial assistance, then, to the extent necessary to give effect to the foregoing paragraphs (and only to the extent legally effective in the relevant jurisdiction), the relevant obligations will be deemed to have been split into two tranches; “Tranche 1” comprising those obligations which can be secured by the English Loan Party Obligations or any Lien without breaching or contravening relevant financial assistance laws and “Tranche 2” comprising the remainder of the obligations under the Loan Documents. The Tranche 2 obligations will be excluded from the relevant English Loan Party Obligations.

(C)            each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement;

123

(D)            the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (x) an Assignment and Acceptance or (y) to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Acceptance by reference pursuant to an Approved Electronic Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and the parties to the Assignment and Acceptance are participants, together with, a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 and shall not be borne by any Loan Party for the account of the Administrative Agent, and shall deliver a copy of the Assignment and Acceptance to each Local Collateral Agent (it being understood that delivery of such copies via electronic mail shall be sufficient);

(E)            the assignee, if it was not a Lender immediately prior to such assignment, shall deliver (i) to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain MNPI about the Borrower, the Guarantors and their relates parties or their securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws and (ii) any documents required to be delivered pursuant to ‎Section 2.13; and

Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this ‎Section 10.02 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with ‎Section 10.02(d).

(iv)           The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, the Commitments of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).

The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender (but only as it relates to the Commitments of such Lender), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. If the Register and the records of any Lender conflict, the Register shall prevail.

(v)            [Reserved].

(vi)           [Reserved].

(c)            Upon its receipt of (x) a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee or (y) to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Acceptance by reference pursuant to an Approved Electronic Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and the parties to the Assignment and Acceptance are participants, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to ‎Section 2.03(b), ‎8.04 or ‎10.04(d), the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph. The parties intend that the Loans are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Section 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any related United States Treasury Regulations (or any other relevant or successor provisions of the Code or of such Treasury Regulations).

(d)            Participations.

(i)            Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any of their respective Affiliates or to one or more banks or other entities (other than a Disqualified Lender), Approved Funds or another Lender or an Affiliate of such Lender (any of the foregoing, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such assigning Lender in connection with such assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall require that the Participant represent that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to ‎Section 10.08(a) that affects such Participant. Subject to ‎Section 10.02(d)(ii), the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections ‎Section 2.11 and ‎2.13 (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.13(h) and (i) shall be delivered to the participating Lender) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to ‎Section 10.02(b); provided that no such Participant shall be entitled to receive any benefits under Sections ‎Section 2.11 and 2.13 in excess of such amounts as would have been received by the applicable Lender had no participation occurred, except to the extent such entitlement by such Lender to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of ‎Section 8.08 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to the requirements of ‎Section 8.08 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans or its other obligations under this Agreement or any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations and Section 1.163-5(b) of the United States Proposed Treasury Regulations (or any amended or successor version). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender, the Borrower, the Guarantors and the Administrative Agent shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

125

(ii)            A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of ‎Section 2.13 unless such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with ‎Section 2.13(g) and ‎Section 2.13(i) as though it were a Lender (it being understood that such Participant shall deliver such forms and information to its participating Lender).

(e)            Notwithstanding the foregoing, no assignment may be made or participation sold to a natural person or Disqualified Lender without the prior written consent of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and the Lead Lenders. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, if any Lender was a Disqualified Lender at the time of the assignment of any Loans or Commitments to such Lender, following written notice from Borrower or the Lead Lenders to such Lender and the Administrative Agent: (1) such Lender shall promptly assign all Loans and Commitments held by such Lender to an Eligible Assignee; provided that (A) the Administrative Agent shall not have any obligation to the Borrower, such Lender or any other Person to find such a replacement Lender, (B) the Borrower shall not have any obligation to such Disqualified Lender or any other Person to find such a replacement Lender or accept or consent to any such assignment to itself or any other Person subject to the Borrower’s consent and (C) the assignment of such Loans and/or Commitments, as the case may be, shall be at par plus accrued and unpaid interest and fees; (2) any Disqualified Lender shall not have any voting or approval rights under the Loan Documents and shall be excluded in determining whether all Lenders, all affected Lenders or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to this ‎Section 10.02(e)); provided that (x) the Commitment of any Disqualified Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Disqualified Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that affects any Disqualified Lender adversely and in a manner that is disproportionate to other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Disqualified Lender; and (3) no Disqualified Lender is entitled to receive information provided solely to Lenders by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or will be permitted to attend or participate in meetings attended solely by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, other than the right to receive notices or Borrowings, notices or prepayments and other administrative notices in respect of its Loans or Commitments required to be delivered to Lenders pursuant to ‎Article 2 hereof.

126

(f)            Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender, and this ‎Section 10.02 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ as a party hereto.

(g)            Any Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this ‎Section 10.02, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant, any information relating to the Borrower or any Guarantor furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower or any of the Guarantors; provided that prior to any such disclosure, each such assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant is subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of ‎Section 10.03 (and the Borrower shall be a third party beneficiary thereof).

(h)            To the extent any Lender (an “Assignor”) assigns its rights and obligations under this Agreement in accordance with this ‎Section 10.02, as of the effective date of such assignment, such assignment shall also assign a proportionate part of (i) all of the Assignor’s rights and obligations in its capacity as a Lender under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents (including without limitation under the Local Collateral Agency Agreements) and any other documents or instruments delivered pursuant hereto or thereto to the extent related to the amount and percentage interest identified in the Assignment and Acceptance of all of such outstanding rights and obligations of the Assignor under this Agreement (including, without limitation, any guarantees included in such facility) and (ii) to the extent permitted to be assigned under applicable law, all claims, suits, causes of action and any other right of the Assignor (in its capacity as a Lender) against any Person, whether known or unknown, arising under or in connection with this Agreement, the other Loan Documents (including without limitation the Local Collateral Agency Agreements) and any other documents or instruments delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or the loan transactions governed thereby or in any way based on or related to any of the foregoing, including, but not limited to, contract claims, tort claims, malpractice claims, statutory claims and all other claims at law or in equity related to the rights and obligations sold and assigned by the Assignor to the assignee pursuant to clause (i) above.

Section 10.03.        Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender (each, a “Lender Party”) agrees to keep any information delivered or made available by the Borrower or any Guarantor to it confidential, in accordance with its customary procedures, from anyone other than persons employed or retained by such Lender Party or its Affiliates who are or are expected to become engaged in evaluating, approving, structuring, insuring or administering the Loans, and who are advised by such Lender Party of the confidential nature of such information and instructed to keep such information confidential; provided that nothing herein shall prevent any Lender Party from disclosing such information (a) to any of its Affiliates and their respective agents, advisors, officers, directors and employees (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) or to any other Lender Party, (b) upon the order of any court or administrative agency, (c) upon the request or demand of any regulatory agency or authority (including any self-regulatory authority), (d) which has been publicly disclosed other than as a result of a disclosure by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender which is not permitted by this Agreement, (e) in connection with any litigation to which the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender, or their respective Affiliates may be a party to the extent reasonably required under applicable rules of discovery, (f) to the extent reasonably required in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder, (g) to such Lender Party’s legal counsel, independent auditors, accountants and other professional advisors, (h) on a confidential basis to any direct or indirect provider of credit protection to such Lender Party or its Affiliates (or its brokers), (i) with the consent of the Borrower, (j) to any actual or proposed participant or assignee of all or part of its rights hereunder or to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty (or the professional advisors thereto) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, in each case, subject to the proviso in ‎Section 10.02(f) (with any reference to any assignee or participant set forth in such proviso being deemed to include a reference to such contractual counterparty for purposes of this ‎Section 10.03(j)), (k) to the extent that such information is received by such Lender Party from a third party that is not, to such Lender Party’s knowledge, subject to confidentiality obligations to the Borrower, (l) to the extent that such information is independently developed by such Lender Party and (m) the Agents and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and publicly available information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Agents and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Commitments, and the Loans. If any Lender Party is in any manner requested or required to disclose any of the information delivered or made available to it by the Borrower or any Guarantor under Section 10.03(b) or (e), such Lender Party will, to the extent permitted by law, provide the Borrower with prompt notice, to the extent reasonable, so that the Borrower or Guarantor may seek, at its sole expense, a protective order or other appropriate remedy or may waive compliance with this ‎Section 10.03.

127

Section 10.04.        Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

(a)            Expenses. The Loan Parties agree to pay on demand (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses of the each of the Lenders and each Agent in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, all due diligence, collateral review, transportation, computer, duplication, appraisal, audit, insurance, consultant, search, filing and recording fees and expenses), including (x) the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of advisors to the Lenders and one primary counsel for the Lenders collectively and one local law counsel in each relevant local jurisdiction and a single firm of regulatory counsel in each relevant jurisdiction for the Lenders collectively, and (y) the reasonable fees and expenses of each Agent, in each case with respect thereto, and (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses of each Agent (including reasonable and documented fees and expenses of counsel to such Agent) and the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of advisors to the Lenders and one primary counsel for the Lenders collectively and one local law counsel in each relevant local jurisdiction and a single firm of regulatory counsel in each relevant jurisdiction for the Lenders collectively in connection with, the administration, modification and amendment of, or any consent or waiver under, the Loan Documents and the other documents to be delivered hereunder and with respect to advising the Lenders and each Agent as to its rights and responsibilities, or the perfection, protection or preservation of rights or interests, under the Loan Documents, with respect to negotiations with the Loan Parties or with other creditors of the Loan Parties or any of their Subsidiaries arising out of any Default or any events or circumstances that may give rise to a Default and with respect to presenting claims in or otherwise participating in or monitoring any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding involving creditors’ rights generally and any proceeding ancillary thereto and (iii) all costs and expenses of each Agent and each Lender in connection with the enforcement of the Loan Documents, whether in any action, suit or litigation, or any bankruptcy, insolvency, workout or restructuring or other similar proceeding affecting creditors’ rights generally (including, without limitation, the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of advisors to the Lenders and counsel for each Agent and each Lender with respect thereto). All payments or reimbursements pursuant to this Section 10.04(a) shall be paid within thirty (30) days after receipt of a written notice.

128

(b)            Indemnity. The Borrower shall indemnify each Agent and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, taxes that are, or imposed in respect of, any claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, arising out of, relating to, in connection with, or as a result of any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto and whether or not any such claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding is brought by the Borrower, its equity holders, its Affiliates, its creditors or any other Person (including any investigating, preparing for or defending any such claims, actions, suits, investigations or proceedings, whether or not in connection with pending or threatened litigation in which such Indemnitee is a party), relating to (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or the use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence, Use or Release of Hazardous Materials on, at, under, in or from any Real Estate or any other property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability of, or asserted against, the Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries or (iv) the operation, possession, use, non-use, control, leasing, subleasing, maintenance, storage, overhaul, testing, acceptance flights at return or inspections of any Aircraft Collateral by the Borrower, any Guarantor or any Person (other than such Indemnitee), including, without limitation, claims for death, personal injury, property damage, other loss or harm to any Person and claims relating to any applicable requirement of law, including, without limitation, Environmental Laws, noise and pollutions laws, rules or regulations; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from (x) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its controlled affiliates, (y) other than in the case of the Collateral Agent such Indemnitee’s or any of its controlled affiliates’ material breach of the Loan Documents in performing its activities or in furnishing its commitments or services under the Loan Documents or (z) disputes solely among Lenders not arising from the Borrower’s breach of its obligations under the Loan Documents (other than a dispute involving a claim against an Indemnitee for its acts or omissions in its capacity as an arranger, bookrunner, agent or similar role in respect of the Facility), except, with respect to this clause (z), to the extent such acts or omissions are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and non-appealable judgment to have constituted the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee in such capacity. This Section 10.04(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

(c)            Limitation of Liability. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each party hereto shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any other party hereto, 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 or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that nothing in this clause (c) shall relieve the Borrower of any obligation it may have to indemnify an Indemnitee against special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages asserted against such Indemnitee by a third party; further, provided, that any release, waiver or exculpation by the Borrower does not apply to the Lenders in their capacity as shareholders or in respect to their involvement in any contractual arrangements with a Loan Party or its affiliates other than with regard to this Facility. No Indemnitee referred to in Section 10.04(b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (except to the extent determined in a final and non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen from the bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnitee).

129

Section 10.05.        Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.

(a)            This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York without giving effect to applicable principles of conflicts of law to the extent that the application of the laws of another jurisdiction would be required thereby and, during any Bankruptcy Event, the Bankruptcy Code.

(b)            Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan (or if such court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan), and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions relating hereto or thereto, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may (and any such claims, cross-claims or third party claims brought against the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties may only) be heard and determined in such Federal (to the extent permitted by law) or New York State court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

(c)            Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court referred to in ‎Section 10.05(a). Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(d)            Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in ‎Section 10.01. Each Loan Party further agrees (to the extent permitted by applicable laws) that a final judgment against it in any such action or proceeding may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law, a certified or true copy of which final judgment shall be conclusive evidence of the fact and of the amount of any indebtedness or liability of the Borrower and/or the Guarantors, as the case may be, therein described. Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably further consents to the service of process in any suit, action or proceeding in said courts by the mailing thereof by any party hereto by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to it at its address specified in ‎Section 10.01. Nothing in this ‎Section 10.05 shall affect the right of any party hereto to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or affect the right of such party or its successors, subrogees or assigns to bring any action or proceeding against such Loan Party or any of their respective property in the courts of other jurisdictions.

130

(a)            Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that the activities contemplated by the provisions of the Loan Documents are commercial in nature rather than governmental or public and therefore acknowledges and agrees that it is not entitled to any right of immunity on the grounds of sovereignty or otherwise with respect to such activities or in any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Loan Documents. Each such party in respect of itself and its properties and revenues, expressly and irrevocably waives any such right of immunity (including, but not limited to, any immunity from suit, from the jurisdiction of any court, from service of process, from set-off, from any execution or attachment in aid of execution prior to judgment or otherwise or from any other legal process) or claim thereto which may now or hereafter exist (whether or not claimed) and irrevocably agrees not to assert any such right or claim in any such action or proceeding that may at any time be commenced, whether in the United States of America or otherwise.

Section 10.06.        No Waiver. No failure on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, or the Local Collateral Agents or any of the Lenders to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder or any of the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. All remedies hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law.

Section 10.07.        Extension of Maturity. Should any payment of principal of or interest or any other amount due hereunder become due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of principal, interest shall be payable thereon at the rate herein specified during such extension.

Section 10.08.        Amendments, etc.

(a)            No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (other than a Deposit Account Control Agreement or as otherwise expressly provided in any Collateral Document with respect to amendment of Collateral Documents), and no consent to any departure by the Borrower or any Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Required Lenders (or signed by the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given; provided, however, that no such modification, waiver or amendment shall without the prior written consent of:

(i)            each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (A) increase the Commitment of any Lender or extend the termination date of the Commitment of any Lender (it being understood that a waiver of an Event of Default shall not constitute an increase in or extension of the termination date of the Commitment of a Lender), or (B) reduce or forgive the principal amount of any Loan (it being understood that a waiver of an Event of Default shall not constitute a reduction or forgiveness of the principal amount of any Loan), or the rate of interest payable thereon or fees related thereto (provided that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary for a waiver of default interest referred to in ‎Section 2.07), or extend any date for the payment of principal (including scheduled amortization payments) (provided that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary for a waiver of mandatory prepayments), interest or Fees hereunder or reduce any Fees payable hereunder or extend the final maturity of the Borrower’s obligations hereunder (it being understood that a waiver of an Event of Default shall not constitute an extension of any Maturity Date), (C) amend, modify or waive any provision of ‎Section 2.14(b), Section 9.08, (D) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 2.01(b) to amend the pro rata provisions therein or any other provision requiring pro rata sharing of Collateral proceeds or prepayments among the Lenders contained in any Loan Document or (E) subordinate the Liens with respect to all or substantially all of the value of the Collateral securing any Facility (other than as permitted by this Agreement and other than in connection with any debtor-in-possession (or equivalent) financing or use of Collateral in an insolvency proceeding, or as permitted under any applicable intercreditor agreement) to any other Lien, or the subordination of any Facility in right of payment to any other indebtedness (other than as permitted by this Agreement and other than in connection with any debtor-in-possession (or equivalent) financing or use of Collateral in an insolvency proceeding, or as permitted under any applicable intercreditor agreement); provided that, notwithstanding the above clauses (C), (D) and (E), in each case, unless such adversely affected Lender is offered a bona fide opportunity to participate on a pro rata basis in such other Indebtedness;

131

(ii)            [reserved];

(iii)           [reserved];

(iv)           all of the Lenders (A) amend or modify any provision of this Agreement which provides for the unanimous consent or approval of the Lenders, (B) amend this ‎Section 10.08 that has the effect of changing the number or percentage of Lenders that must approve any modification, amendment, waiver or consent or amend the definition of Required Lenders or (C) release all or substantially all of the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent and the Local Collateral Agents for the benefit of the Secured Parties hereunder or under any other Loan Document on the date hereof or by the terms of the Collateral Documents, or release all or substantially all of the Guarantors (except to the extent contemplated by ‎Section 9.05);

(v)            any amendment or waiver that disproportionately affects a particular class of Lenders shall require the prior consent of the Required Class Lenders;

(vi)           the Required Class Lenders of each Class that is being allocated a lesser repayment or prepayment as a result thereof (relating to the amount of repayment or prepayment being allocated to another Class), change the application of prepayments as among or between Classes under ‎Section 2.09 (it being understood that if additional Classes of Loans or additional Loans under this Agreement consented to by the Required Lenders or additional Loans pursuant to ‎Section 2.22 are made, such new Loans may be included on a pro rata basis in the various prepayments required pursuant to ‎Section 2.09);

(vii)          all Lenders under any Class, reduce the percentage specified in the definition of “Required Class Lenders” with respect to such Class; and

(viii)         any amendment to reduce or terminate the Revolving Commitments, to modify the conditions on the Borrowing of Revolving Loans in a way that is materially adverse to the Borrower or to reduce the Revolving Availability Period shall require the consent of the Lead Lenders.

provided, further, that any Collateral Document may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified with the consent of the applicable Loan Party and the Collateral Agent (i) to add assets (or categories of assets) to the Collateral covered by such Collateral Document or (ii) to remove any asset or type or category of asset (including after-acquired assets of that type or category) from the Collateral covered by such Collateral Document to the extent the release thereof is permitted by the Loan Documents; provided that, if any such amendment, supplement or modification would change the terms and conditions (including in connection with the addition or removal of any categories of assets) reflected in the corresponding Collateral Document, then the reasonable consent of the Lead Lenders shall also be required.

132

(b)            No such amendment or modification shall adversely affect the rights and obligations of any Agent hereunder without such Agent’s prior written consent.

(c)            No notice to or demand on the Borrower or any Guarantor shall entitle the Borrower or any Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances, unless otherwise required under a Loan Document. Each assignee under ‎Section 10.02(b) shall be bound by any amendment, modification, waiver, or consent authorized as provided herein, and any consent by a Lender shall bind any Person subsequently acquiring an interest on the Loans held by such Lender. No amendment to this Agreement shall be effective against the Borrower or any Guarantor unless signed by the Borrower or such Guarantor, as the case may be.

(d)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in ‎Section 10.08(a), (i) in the event that the Borrower requests that this Agreement be modified or amended in a manner which would require the unanimous consent of all of the Lenders or the consent of all Lenders directly and adversely affected thereby and, in each case, such modification or amendment is agreed to by the Required Lenders, then the Borrower may replace any non-consenting Lender in accordance with an assignment pursuant to ‎Section 10.02 (and such non-consenting Lender shall reasonably cooperate in effecting such assignment); provided that (x) such amendment or modification can be effected as a result of the assignment contemplated by such Section (together with all other such assignments required by the Borrower to be made pursuant to this clause (i)) and (y) such non-consenting Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued Fees and all other amounts due and payable to it under this Agreement from the applicable assignee or the Borrower; (ii) [reserved], (iii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or any Loan Document, any modifications or amendments under (1) an Increase Joinder entered in accordance with ‎Section 2.22, (2) any Extension Amendment entered in accordance with ‎Section 2.23 or (3) a Refinancing Amendment entered in accordance with Section 2.25 or an amendment to increase or extend the Revolving Commitments in accordance with Section 2.24, may in each case be made without the consent of any Lenders other than as provided therein, and (iv) if the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall have jointly identified an obvious error or any error or omission of a technical or immaterial nature (including to correct or cure incorrect cross references or similar inaccuracies) in any provision of the Loan Documents, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower 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 if the same is not objected to in writing by the Required Lenders within five (5) Business Days after written notice thereof to the Lenders.

Section 10.13.        USA Patriot Act; Beneficial Ownership Regulation. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the Patriot Act and the requirements of 31 C.F.R. § 1010.230 (the “Beneficial Ownership Regulation”) hereby notifies the Borrower and each Guarantor that pursuant to the requirements of the Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower and each Guarantor, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and each Guarantor and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower and each Guarantor in accordance with the Patriot Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation (after giving effect to any applicable exclusions under the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, including, without limitation, 31 C.F.R. §1010.230(e)(2)). This notice is given in accordance with the requirements of the Patriot Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation and is effective for each Lender subject thereto.

Section 10.14.        New Value. It is the intention of the parties hereto that any provision of Collateral by a Loan Party as a condition to, or in connection with, the making of any Loan shall be made as a contemporaneous exchange for new value given by the Lenders to the Borrower.

Section 10.15.        WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS ‎Section 10.15.

Section 10.16.        No Fiduciary Duty.

(a)            The Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Subsidiaries’ understanding, that no Agent, Lender or any of their respective Affiliates (collectively, the “Credit Parties”) will have any obligations except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents and each Credit Party is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length contractual counterparty to the Borrower with respect to the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated herein and therein and not as a financial advisor or a fiduciary to, or an agent of, the Borrower or any other Person. The Borrower agrees that it will not assert any claim against any Credit Party based on an alleged breach of fiduciary duty by such Credit Party in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Additionally, the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that no Credit Party is advising the Borrower as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting, regulatory or any other matters in any jurisdiction. The Borrower shall consult with their own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated herein or in the other Loan Documents, and the Credit Parties shall have no responsibility or liability to the Borrower with respect thereto.

136

(b)            The Borrower further acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Subsidiaries’ understanding, that each Credit Party, together with its Affiliates, is a full service securities or banking firm engaged in securities trading and brokerage activities as well as providing investment banking and other financial services. In the ordinary course of business, any Credit Party may provide investment banking and other financial services to, and/or acquire, hold or sell, for its own accounts and the accounts of customers, equity, debt and other securities and financial instruments (including bank loans and other obligations) of, the Borrower and other companies with which the Borrower may have commercial or other relationships. With respect to any securities and/or financial instruments so held by any Credit Party or any of its customers, all rights in respect of such securities and financial instruments, including any voting rights, will be exercised by the holder of the rights, in its sole discretion.

(c)            In addition, the Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Subsidiaries’ understanding, that each Credit Party and its affiliates may be providing debt financing, equity capital or other services (including financial advisory services) to other companies in respect of which the Borrower may have conflicting interests regarding the transactions described herein and otherwise. No Credit Party will use confidential information obtained from the Borrower by virtue of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or its other relationships with the Borrower in connection with the performance by such Credit Party of services for other companies, and no Credit Party will furnish any such information to other companies. The Borrower also acknowledges that no Credit Party has any obligation to use in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, or to furnish to the Borrower, confidential information obtained from other companies.

Section 10.17.        Currency Indemnity. The payment obligations of any party to a Loan Document (the “payor”) expressed to be payable thereunder in one currency (the “first currency”) shall not be discharged by an amount paid in another currency, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, to the extent that the amount so paid on prompt conversion to the first currency under normal banking procedures would not yield the full amount of the first currency due thereunder, and the payor shall indemnify the recipient of such payment (the “payee”) against any such shortfall; and in the event that any payment by the payor, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, upon conversion and transfer does not result in payment of such amount of the first currency, the payee shall have a separate cause of action against the payor for the additional amount necessary to yield the amount due and owing to the payee. If it is necessary to determine for any reason other than that referred to above the equivalent in the first currency of a sum denominated in the second currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with the second currency on the Business Day on which such determination is to be made (or, if such day is not a Business Day, on the next preceding Business Day).

Section 10.18.        Parallel Debt.

(a)            Each International Loan Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes (and to the extent necessary undertakes in advance) without duplication to pay to the Collateral Agent amounts equal to any amounts owing from time to time by such International Loan Party to any Lender Party under this Agreement and any other Loan Document pursuant to any Obligations as and when those amounts are due under any Loan Document (such payment undertakings under this Section 10.18 and the obligations and liabilities resulting therefrom being the “Parallel Debt”).

137

(b)            The Collateral Agent shall have its own independent right without duplication to demand payment of the Parallel Debt by each International Loan Party when due. Each International Loan Party and the Collateral Agent acknowledge that the obligations of each International Loan Party under this Section 10.18 are several, separate and independent (selbständiges Schuldanerkenntnis) from, and shall not in any way limit or affect, the corresponding obligations of each International Loan Party to any Lender Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (the “Corresponding Debt”), provided that:

(i)            the Parallel Debt shall be decreased to the extent that the Corresponding Debt has been irrevocably paid or discharged (other than, in each case, contingent obligations);

(ii)            the Corresponding Debt shall be decreased to the extent that the Parallel Debt has been irrevocably paid or discharged;

(iii)           the amount of the Parallel Debt shall at all times be equal to the amount of the Corresponding Debt;

(iv)           for the avoidance of doubt, the Parallel Debt will become due and payable at the same time when the Corresponding Debt becomes due and payable; and

(v)            the International Loan Parties shall have all objections and defenses against the Parallel Debt which they have against the Corresponding Debt.

(c)            The security granted under any German Security Agreement with respect to the Parallel Debt is granted to the Collateral Agent in its capacity as sole creditor of the Parallel Debt.

(d)            Without limiting or affecting the Collateral Agent’s rights against any International Loan Party (whether under this Agreement or any other Loan Document), each of the International Loan Parties acknowledges that:

(i)            nothing in this Agreement shall impose any obligation on the Collateral Agent to advance any sum to any International Loan Party or otherwise under any Loan Document; and

(ii)            for the purpose of any vote taken under any Loan Document, the Collateral Agent shall not be regarded as having any participation or commitment.

(e)            The parties to this Agreement acknowledge and confirm that the provisions contained in this Section 10.18 shall not be interpreted so as to increase the maximum total amount of the Obligations.

(f)            The Parallel Debt shall remain effective in case a third person should assume or be entitled, partially or in whole, to any rights of any of the Lender Parties under any of the other Loan Documents, be it by virtue of assignment, novation or otherwise, provided that the Collateral Agent may not assign or transfer any claim arising from the Parallel Debt other than to any successor Collateral Agent.

(g)            All monies received or recovered by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement and all amounts received or recovered by the Collateral Agent from or by the enforcement of any security granted to secure the Parallel Debt shall be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

138

Section 10.19.        Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

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

(ii)            a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent entity, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

(iii)           the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of any applicable Resolution Authority.
