(c)Issuance of Letters of Credit.

​

(i)The Company (on behalf of the applicable Borrower) shall deliver to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Agent in a manner specified in Section 9.02 a Notice of Letter of Credit Issuance signed by a Responsible Officer of the Company in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-2 (a “Notice of Letter of Credit Issuance”) not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the third Business Day preceding the requested date for Issuance of a Letter of Credit hereunder, or such shorter notice as may be acceptable to such Issuing Bank and the Agent.

​

(ii)The applicable Issuing Bank shall give the Agent written notice, or telephonic notice confirmed promptly thereafter in writing, of the Issuance of a Letter of Credit.

​

(iii)If the Company so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit application, the applicable Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion,

​

​

agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the applicable Issuing Bank to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the applicable Issuing Bank, the Company shall not be required to make a specific request to such Issuing Bank for any such extension.

​

(d)Duties of Issuing Bank.

​

No action taken or omitted in good faith by an Issuing Bank under or in connection with any Letter of Credit (except for any such action resulting from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Issuing Bank) shall put such Issuing Bank under any resulting liability to any Bank or any Borrower or relieve any Bank of its obligations hereunder to such Issuing Bank. In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, an Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to the Banks or any Borrower other than to confirm that any documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit appear to have been delivered by the appropriate Person and that they appear on their face to comply with the requirements of such Letter of Credit.

​

(e)Participations; Reimbursement Obligations.

​

(i)Immediately upon Issuance by an Issuing Bank of any Letter of Credit in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.05, each Bank shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally

​

purchased and received from such Issuing Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Letter of Credit (a “Letter of Credit Participation”) in the proportion of such Bank’s Applicable Percentage, including, without limitation, all Letter of Credit Obligations and other obligations of the applicable Borrower with respect thereto (other than amounts owing to an Issuing Bank under Section 2.05(g)) and any security therefor and guaranty pertaining thereto.

​

(ii)If an Issuing Bank shall make any disbursement in respect of a drawing on a Letter of Credit, the applicable Borrower shall reimburse such Issuing Bank for the amount drawn not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the next Business Day after the date that such disbursement is made, if such Borrower shall have received notice of such disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date of disbursement, or, if such notice has not been received by such Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on (A) (A) the next Business Day after the date that such Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the day of receipt, or (B) (B) the second Business Day following the day that such Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is received after 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the day of receipt (the applicable date and time for payment set forth above being referred to as the “Reimbursement Date”). In the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, the applicable Borrower shall reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank in such Alternative Currency, unless (x) the applicable Issuing Bank (at its option) shall have specified in such notice that it will require reimbursement in Dollars, or (y) in the absence of any such requirement for reimbursement in Dollars, the Company shall have notified the applicable Issuing Bank promptly following receipt of the notice of drawing that the Company will reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank in Dollars. In the case of any such reimbursement in Dollars of a drawing under a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, the applicable Issuing Bank shall notify the Company of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the drawing promptly following the determination thereof. If any Reimbursement Obligation is not paid by the applicable Borrower by the applicable Reimbursement Date, the Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Agent, which shall promptly notify each Bank, and each such Bank shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank (in Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency) in immediately available funds, the amount of such Bank’s Applicable Percentage of the payment made by the Issuing Bank, and the Agent shall promptly pay to such Issuing Bank such amounts received by it. In the

​

​

event such payments are made by such Banks, such payments shall constitute Revolving Advances made to the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.02 (irrespective of the satisfaction of the conditions in Sections 3.01 or 3.02, as applicable), and the Borrower’s obligation to pay such Reimbursement Obligation shall be deemed discharged when due and replaced by such resulting Revolving Advances. If it shall be illegal or unlawful for any Borrower to incur Revolving Advances as contemplated by the preceding sentence because of an Event of Default described in Section 6.01(e) or otherwise, each Bank’s payment of its Applicable Percentage of the Reimbursement Obligation pursuant to the preceding sentence shall constitute the purchase of an undivided participation interest in the Reimbursement Obligation owed to the Issuing Bank, and such payments shall not constitute Revolving Advances and shall not relieve the applicable Borrower of its obligation to pay such Reimbursement Obligation. All Reimbursement Obligations shall bear interest at the Base Rate (plus the Applicable Base Rate Margin) from the date of the relevant drawing under such Letter of Credit until the Reimbursement Date, or, if applicable, until the date of the Revolving Advances satisfying such Reimbursement Obligation as set forth in the second preceding sentence, and thereafter at a rate per annum at all times equal to 2% per annum above the Base Rate (plus the Applicable Base Rate Margin) in effect from time to time. If a Bank does not make its Applicable Percentage of the amount of any such payment available to the Agent, such Bank agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank, forthwith on demand, such amount together with interest thereon, at the Overnight Rate plus any administrative processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Issuing Bank in connection with the foregoing. The failure of any Bank to make available to the Agent for the account of an Issuing Bank its Applicable Percentage of any such payment shall neither relieve any other Bank of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank such other Bank’s Applicable Percentage of any payment on the date such payment is to be made nor increase the obligation of any other Bank to make such payment to the Agent.

​

(iii)Whenever an Issuing Bank receives a payment on account of a Reimbursement Obligation, including any interest thereon, as to which any Bank has made a Revolving Advance or purchased a participation pursuant to Section 2.05(e)(ii), such Issuing Bank shall promptly pay to the Agent such payment for distribution to the applicable Banks in accordance with their Applicable Percentage with respect to the applicable Letter of Credit.

​

​

(iv)Upon the request of any Bank, the applicable Issuing Bank shall furnish such Bank copies of any Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement to which such Issuing Bank is party.

​

(v)The obligations of any Bank to make payments to the Agent for the account of an Issuing Bank with respect to a Letter of Credit shall be irrevocable, shall not be subject to any qualification or exception whatsoever and shall be made in accordance with this Agreement (irrespective of the satisfaction of the conditions described in Sections 3.01 or 3.02, as applicable) under all circumstances, including, without limitation, any of the following circumstances:

​

(A)any lack of validity or enforceability hereof or of any of the other Loan Documents;

​

(B)the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which any Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit or any transferee of a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Bank or any other Person, whether in connection herewith, with any Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transactions between the account party and beneficiary named in any Letter of Credit);

​

(C)any draft, certificate or any other document presented under the Letter of Credit having been determined to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

​

(D)the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Loan Documents;

​

(E)any failure by the Issuing Bank to make any reports required pursuant to Section 2.05(h) or the inaccuracy of any such report; or

​

(F)the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default.

​

(f)Payment of Reimbursement Obligations.

​

(i)The applicable Borrower unconditionally agrees to pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amount of all Reimbursement Obligations,

​

​

​

interest and other amounts payable to such Issuing Bank under or in connection with each Letter of Credit Issued by such Issuing Bank for the account of such Borrower when such amounts are due and payable, irrespective of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which such Borrower may have at any time against such Issuing Bank or any other Person.

​

(ii)In the event any payment by a Borrower received by an Issuing Bank with respect to a Letter of Credit distributed by the Agent to the Banks on account of their Letter of Credit Participations is thereafter set aside, avoided or recovered from such Issuing Bank in connection with any receivership, liquidation or bankruptcy proceeding, each such Bank which received such distribution shall, upon demand by such Issuing Bank, contribute such Bank’s Applicable Percentage with respect to such Letter of Credit of the amount set aside, avoided or recovered together with interest at the rate required to be paid by the Issuing Bank upon the amount required to be repaid by it.

​

(g)Issuing Bank Fees and Charges. Each Borrower agrees to pay to each Issuing Bank, solely for its own account, (i) (i) a fronting fee in the amount and at the time specified in the applicable Fee Letter (or in the case of any Issuing Bank set forth in clause (f) of the definition thereof, in an amount to be agreed upon between such Issuing Bank and such Borrower) and (ii) (ii) the standard charges assessed by such Issuing Bank in connection with the Issuance, administration, amendment and payment or cancellation of such Letter of Credit.

​

(h)Issuing Bank Reporting Requirements. Each Issuing Bank shall, on the day it Issues a Letter of Credit, provide a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Agent. On a monthly basis, each Issuing Bank shall deliver to the Agent a complete list of all outstanding Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank.

​

(i)Exoneration. As between the Borrowers on the one hand and the Agent, the Banks and each Issuing Bank on the other hand, the Borrowers assume all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of the Letters of Credit Issued hereunder. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, subject to the provisions of the applicable Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement, the Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Banks shall not be responsible for: (A) (A) the form, validity, legality, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for or Issuance of any Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (B) (B) the validity, legality or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason;

​

​

​

(C)  (C) failure of the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit to comply duly with conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (D) (D) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (E) (E) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (F) (F) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (G) (G) the misapplication by the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; (H) (H) any litigation, proceeding or charges with respect to a Letter of Credit; and (I) (I) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Agent, the applicable Issuing Bank or the Banks; except in the cases of clauses (A) (with respect to form only), (B), (C), (D), (E), (F), (H) and (I) above, for the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank, as determined in a judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction.

​

(j)Extended Facility Letters of Credit. Notwithstanding the contrary provisions of Section 2.05(a), Letters of Credit may be Issued with expiry dates later than the fifth Business Day prior to the Stated Termination Date upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 2.05(j) (any such Letter of Credit, an “Extended Facility Letter of Credit”). No Extended Facility Letter of Credit shall have an expiry date later than one year after the Stated Termination Date. From the date of Issuance of any Extended Facility Letter of Credit, the Company will maintain cash collateral in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account in an amount equal to 105% of the Letter of Credit Obligations relating to Extended Facility Letters of Credit, and at all times when any Extended Facility Letters of Credit are outstanding, the Company will maintain cash collateral in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account in an amount not less than 105% of the Letter of Credit Obligations relating to such Extended Facility Letters of Credit then outstanding.

​

(k)Letter of Credit Collateral Account. The Company agrees that it will, upon the request of the Agent or the Majority Banks after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, and as otherwise required pursuant to Section 2.05(j), establish and maintain a Letter of Credit Collateral Account. The Company hereby pledges and grants to the Agent, on behalf of the Issuing Banks and the Banks, a security interest in all of the Company’s right, title and interest in and to all funds which may from time to time be on deposit in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account to secure the prompt and complete payment and performance of the Letter of Credit Obligations, and to the extent provided in Sections 6.02(b) and (c), other payment obligations hereunder. Nothing in this Section 2.05(k) shall obligate the Company to deposit any funds in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account or limit the right of the Agent to release any funds held in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account other than as required in Section 2.05(j) or Section 6.02.

​

​

(l)Obligations Several. The obligations of each Issuing Bank and each Bank under this Section 2.05 are several and not joint, and no Bank shall be responsible for any Issuing Bank’s obligation to Issue Letters of Credit or any other Bank’s participation obligations therein.

Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary, the Company shall be obligated to reimburse the Issuing Bank hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Company hereby acknowledges that the Issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Company, and that the Company’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.

​

(b)The Company may, upon notice to the Agent (which shall promptly provide a copy of such notice to the Banks), propose to increase the Total Commitment by an amount not to exceed $1,000,000,000 in the aggregate for all such increases during the term of this Agreement (the amount of any such increase, the “Increased Commitments”).

Such assignments shall be effected by execution and delivery by the applicable Assigning Banks, Added Banks or Increasing Banks of Assignments and Acceptances. In consideration of such assignments, each Added Bank and Increasing Bank shall before 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the effective date of the Increase Agreement, make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Agent at its address referred to in Section 9.02, in same day funds, such Added Bank’s or Increasing Bank’s ratable portion (based on (i) the proportion that such Added Bank’s Commitment or (ii) the increase in such Increasing Bank’s Commitment bears to the Total Commitment after giving effect to the Increase Agreement) of each Revolving Borrowing then outstanding, together with an amount equal to such ratable portion of the interest which has accrued to such date and remains unpaid on such Revolving Advances. After the Agent’s receipt of such funds, the Agent will promptly make such same day funds available to the account of each Assigning Bank in an amount equal to such Assigning Bank’s ratable portion of such payment by the Added Banks and Increasing Banks.

​

(f)If there are any Letters of Credit or Swing Line Advances outstanding on the date of any Increase Agreement, each Issuing Bank and Swing Line Bank and each Bank agree that the Letter of Credit Participations and Swing Line Participations with respect to each outstanding Letter of Credit and Swing Line Advance shall be adjusted so that each Bank’s Letter of Credit Participation and Swing Line Participation with respect to each such Letter of Credit and Swing Line Advance shall be in the proportion that such Bank’s Applicable Share (after giving effect to the Increased Commitments and the assignments provided for in Section 2.08(e)).

or circumstances of the type described in Section 2.12(e)(i)-(iii) have occurred with respect to the LIBOR Successor Rate then in effect and the Agent determines that none of the LIBOR Successor Rates is available, then in each case, the Agent and the Company may amend this Agreement solely for the purpose of replacing LIBOR or any then current LIBOR Successor Rate in accordance with this Section 2.12 at the end of any Interest Period, relevant interest payment date or payment period for interest calculated, as applicable, with another alternate benchmark rate giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated syndicated credit facilities for such alternative benchmarks and, in each case, including any Related Adjustments and any other mathematical or other adjustments to such benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated syndicated credit facilities for such benchmarks, which adjustment or method for calculating such adjustment shall be published on an information service as selected by the Agent from time to time in its reasonable discretion and may be periodically updated. For the avoidance of doubt, any such proposed rate and adjustments shall constitute a LIBOR Successor Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the events or circumstances of the type described in Section 2.12(e)(i)-(iv) have occurred with respect to the applicable reference rate for an Alternative Currency, then the Agent and the Company may amend this Agreement solely for the purpose of replacing the reference rate for such Alternative Currency or any then current LIBOR Successor Rate for such Alternative Currency in accordance with this Section 2.12 at the end of any Interest Period, relevant interest payment date or payment period for interest calculated, as applicable, with another alternate benchmark rate giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar syndicated credit facilities syndicated in the U.S. and denominated in the applicable Alternative Currency for such alternative benchmarks and, in each case, including any mathematical or other adjustments to such benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar syndicated credit facilities syndicated in the U.S. and denominated in the applicable Alternative Currency for such benchmarks, each of which adjustments or methods for calculating such adjustments shall be published on one or more information services as selected by the Agent from time to time in its reasonable discretion and may be periodically updated. For the avoidance of doubt, any such proposed rate and adjustments shall constitute a LIBOR Successor Rate. Any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth Business Day after the Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Banks and the Company unless, prior to such time, Banks comprising the Majority Banks have delivered to the Agent written notice that such Majority Banks object to such amendment.

​

(e)(g) If, at the end of any Interest Period, relevant interest payment date or payment period for interest calculated, no LIBOR Successor Rate has

​

​

been determined in accordance with clauses (a) or (b) of this Section 2.12 and circumstances of the type described in clauses (e)(i) or (e)(iii) above exist or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred (as applicable) with respect to the applicable reference rate for any EurocurrencyAlternative Currency Term Rate Advance, SOFR Advance, Daily Simple SOFR Advance or ▇▇▇▇▇ Daily Rate Advance, the Agent will promptly so notify the Company and each Bank.

Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Banks to make or maintain EurocurrencyAlternative Currency Term Rate Advances, SOFR Advances, Daily Simple SOFR Advances and ▇▇▇▇▇ Daily Rate Advances shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected EurocurrencyAlternative Currency Term Rate Advances, SOFR Advances, Daily Simple SOFR Advances, ▇▇▇▇▇ Daily Rate Advances, Interest Periods, interest payment dates or payment periods), and (y) the Eurocurrency RateTerm SOFR component shall no longer be utilized in determining the Base Rate, if applicable, until the LIBOR Successor Rate has been determined in accordance with clausesclause (c) or (d). Upon receipt of such notice, the Company may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of EurocurrencyAlternative Currency Term Rate Advances, SOFR Advances, Daily Simple SOFR Advances or ▇▇▇▇▇ Daily Rate Advances (to the extent of the affected EurocurrencyAlternative Currency Term Rate Advances, SOFR Advances, Daily Simple SOFR Advances, ▇▇▇▇▇ Daily Rate Advances, Interest Periods, interest payment dates or payment periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for (A) Daily Simple SOFR Advances instead of SOFR Advances and (B) Base Rate Advances (subject to the foregoing clause (y)) in instead of Alternative Currency Term Rate Advances, Daily Simple SOFR Advances or ▇▇▇▇▇ Daily Rate Advances, as applicable, in the Dollar Equivalent of the amount specified therein.

​

(f)(h) The Agent shall, upon becoming aware that the circumstances causing any such suspension referred to in Sections 2.12(b), 2.12(c) or 2.16 no longer apply, promptly so notify the Company; provided that the failure of the Agent to so notify the Company shall not impair the rights of the Banks under this Section 2.12 or Section 2.16, as applicable, or expose the Agent to any liability.

​

(i)  If (i) the applicable Borrower shall fail to select the duration of any Interest Period for any Eurocurrency Advances in accordance with the provisions contained in the definition of “Interest Period” in Section 1.01 and the provisions of this Section 2.12, or (ii) is not entitled to Convert or continue such Advances into or as Eurocurrency Advances pursuant to this Section 2.12, the Agent will forthwith so notify the Company and the Banks and such Advances will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into (x) in the case of clause (i) above, Eurocurrency Advances having an Interest Period of one month and (y) otherwise, Base Rate Advances.

​

(j) On the date on which the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Revolving Advances comprising any Revolving Borrowing shall be reduced, by

​

payment or prepayment or otherwise, to less than $5,000,000, such Revolving Advances shall, if they are Eurocurrency Advances or ▇▇▇▇▇ Daily Rate Advances, automatically Convert into Base Rate Advances; provided, however, that if and so long as each such Revolving Advance shall be of the same Type and have the same Interest Period, if applicable, as Revolving Advances comprising another Borrowing or other Borrowings of such Borrower, and the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all such Revolving Advances shall equal or exceed $5,000,000 (or its equivalent in any Alternative Currency), the Company shall have the right to continue all such Advances as, or to Convert all such Advances into, Advances of such Type having such Interest Period, if applicable.

​

Section 2.13. Voluntary Conversion or Continuation of Advances.The applicable Borrower may on any Business Day, upon notice given to the Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on (x) with respect to Revolving Advances denominated in Dollars, the third Business Day, (y) with respect to Revolving Advances denominated in a Primary Currency and ▇▇▇▇▇ Daily Rate Advances, the fourth Business Day and (z) with respect to Revolving Advances denominated in an Alternative Currency other than a Primary Currency, the fifth Business Day, in each case, prior to the date of the proposed Conversion or continuation, and subject to the provisions of Sections 2.12 and 2.16 and the provisos in this Section 2.13, Convert all or any part of the Revolving Advances of one Type denominated in any currency comprising the same Revolving Borrowing into Advances of another Type denominated in the same currency or continue all or any part of the Revolving Advances of one Type denominated in a currency comprising the same Revolving Borrowing as Revolving Advances of the same Type denominated in such currency; provided, however, that any such Conversion or continuation of any EurocurrencyAlternative Currency Term Rate Advances or SOFR Advances shall be made on, and only on, the last day of an Interest Period for such EurocurrencyAlternative Currency Term Rate Advances or SOFR Advances; and provided, further, that no Revolving Advance may be Converted into or continued as a Eurocurrencyan Alternative Currency Term Rate Advance, SOFR Advance or a ▇▇▇▇▇ Daily Rate Advance at any time that a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, unless the Majority Banks shall have consented to such Conversion or continuation. ▇▇▇▇▇ Daily Rate Advances shall automatically continue each day as ▇▇▇▇▇ Daily Rate Advances unless and until the Company delivers a timely notice requesting a conversion of such ▇▇▇▇▇ Daily Rate Advances to another Type of Advance, which Advance, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be denominated in a currency other than Sterling. Any such Conversion or continuation of any Revolving Advances shall be in the minimum amounts and increments specified in Section 2.01(b); provided, that in the case of the continuation of a Borrowing comprised of EurocurrencyAlternative Currency Term Rate Advances denominated in an Alternative Currency or ▇▇▇▇▇ Daily Rate Advances, such continuation may, subject to the terms and conditions otherwise set forth herein, be in an aggregate

​

​

principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Borrowing being continued. Each such notice of a Conversion or continuation shall, within the restrictions specified above, specify (i) (i) the date of such Conversion (or continuation), (ii) (ii) the Revolving Advances to be Converted (or continued), and (iii) (iii) if such Conversion (or continuation) is into (or of) EurocurrencyAlternative Currency Term Rate Advances or SOFR Advances, the duration of the Interest Period for each such Revolving Advance. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Advance may be converted into or continued as an Advance denominated in a different currency, but instead must be prepaid in the original currency of such Advance and reborrowed in the other currency.

​

Section 2.14. Prepayments of Revolving Advances and Swing Line Advances. (a) (a) Subject to Section 9.04(b), if applicable, a Borrower may following notice given to the Agent by the Company (on behalf of such Borrower) pursuant to delivery of a notice of prepayment (“Notice of Prepayment”), in substantially the form of Exhibit B-4 hereto, (i) (i) not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the proposed date of prepayment, such notice specifying the applicable Borrower, the proposed date and aggregate principal amount of the prepayment, and if such notice is given, such Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal amounts of the Base Rate Advances comprising part of the same Revolving Borrowing in whole or ratably in part, together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid and (ii) (ii) not later than 11:00 a.m. (London time) three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed date of prepayment, such notice specifying the applicable Borrower, the proposed date and aggregate principal amount of the prepayment, and if such notice is given, such Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal amounts of the EurocurrencyAlternative Currency Term Rate Advances, SOFR Advances or ▇▇▇▇▇ Daily Rate Advances, as applicable, comprising a Revolving Borrowing in whole or ratably in part, together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid. Each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount not less than $1,000,000.

​

(b)If on any date the Agent notifies the Company that the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Revolving Credit Obligations exceeds the Total Commitment, or the aggregate amount of Revolving Credit Obligations denominated in an Alternative Currency exceed 105% of the Alternative Currency Sublimit, the applicable Borrower shall on such date prepay an aggregate principal amount of Revolving Advances (or, if there are no Revolving Advances outstanding, Cash Collateralize Letters of Credit) ratably to the Banks in an amount equal to or, at the option of such Borrower, greater than such excess, with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid. The Company may determine which Borrowing such prepayment shall be allocated to, and any such

​

​

prepayment of EurocurrencyAlternative Currency Term Rate Advances shall be subject to the provisions of Section 9.04(b).

​

(c)Notwithstanding clause (a) above, the Company may, upon notice to the Swing Line Bank pursuant to delivery to the Swing Line Bank of a Notice of Prepayment (with a copy to the Agent), at any time and from time to time, voluntarily prepay Swing Line Advances in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) (i) such notice must be received by the Swing Line Bank and the Agent no later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of the prepayment and (ii) (ii)any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the prepayment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.

​

(d)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, a Notice of Prepayment may state that such Notice of Prepayment is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or another transaction, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Company (by notice to the Agent on or prior to the date of such prepayment) if such condition is not satisfied.

​

Section 2.15. Increased Costs and Reduced Return. (a) (a) If, due to a Change in Law (other than any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements pursuant to Section 2.11) there shall be any increase on or after the date hereof in the cost to any Bank of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining EurocurrencyAlternative Currency Term Rate Advances, SOFR Advances, Daily Simple SOFR Advances or ▇▇▇▇▇ Daily Rate Advances or to any Bank or Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining Letters of Credit, by an amount deemed by such Bank or Issuing Bank to be material, then the Company shall from time to time, within 15 days after demand by such Bank or Issuing Bank, accompanied by the certificate required therefor under Section 2.15(c) (with a copy of such demand and such certificate to the Agent), pay to the Agent for the account of such Bank or Issuing Bank additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Bank or Issuing Bank for such increased cost; provided that any such amount or amounts shall not be duplicative of any amounts to the extent otherwise paid by the Company or any Borrower under any other provision of this Agreement; provided further, that such amounts shall be proportionate to the amounts that such Bank or Issuing Bank charges other borrowers or account parties for such reductions suffered on loans or letters of credit, as the case may be, in connection with substantially similar facilities as reasonably determined by such Bank or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, acting in good faith.

​

(b)If any Bank or Issuing Bank shall have determined that a Change in Law (including, without limitation, any Change in Law with respect to any Taxes,

​

​

other than (i) Indemnified Taxes, (ii) Other Taxes, (iii) any taxes excluded from the definition of Taxes by the first sentence of Section 2.20(a) and (iv) any Taxes described in Section 2.20(h) and Section 2.20(j)) has or would have the effect on or after the date hereof of reducing the rate of return on such Bank’s or Issuing Bank’s capital or liquidity or the capital or liquidity of any corporation controlling such Bank or Issuing Bank as a consequence of such Bank’s or Issuing Bank’s obligation hereunder to a level below that which such Bank or Issuing Bank could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance by an amount deemed by such Bank or Issuing Bank to be material, then the Company shall, from time to time, within 15 days after demand by such Bank or Issuing Bank, accompanied by the certificate required therefor under Section 2.15(c) (with a copy of such demand and such certificate to the Agent), pay to the Agent for the account of such Bank or Issuing Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank or Issuing Bank or such controlling corporation for such reduction; provided that such amounts shall be proportionate to the amounts that such Bank or Issuing Bank charges other borrowers or account parties for such reductions suffered on loans or letters of credit, as the case may be, in connection with substantially similar facilities as reasonably determined by such Bank or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, acting in good faith; provided further that any such amount or amounts shall not be duplicative of any amounts to the extent otherwise paid by the Company or any Borrower under any other provision of this Agreement.

​

(c)Each Bank or Issuing Bank will promptly notify the Company and the Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Bank or Issuing Bank to compensation pursuant to this Section and will designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the reasonable judgment of such Bank or Issuing Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank or Issuing Bank. In determining such amount, such Bank or Issuing Bank may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. A certificate of any Bank or Issuing Bank claiming compensation under this Section and setting forth in reasonable detail the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder and the basis for the calculation thereof shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

​

(d)The Company shall not be obligated to pay any additional amounts with respect to a demand under Section 2.15(a) or 2.15(b) that are attributable to the period (the “Excluded Period”) ending 90 days prior to the Company’s receipt of the certificate with respect to such demand required under Section 2.15(c); provided, however, that to the extent such additional amounts accrue during the Excluded Period because of the retroactive effect of the applicable law, rule, regulation, guideline or request promulgated during the 90 day period prior

​

​

to the Company’s receipt of such certificate, the limitation set forth in this Section 2.15(d) shall not apply.

​

(e)If any Bank or Issuing Bank shall subsequently recoup any costs (other than from the Company) for which such Bank or Issuing Bank has theretofore been compensated by the Company under this Section 2.15, such Bank or Issuing Bank shall remit to the Company an amount equal to the amount of such recoupment.

​

(f)The obligations of the Company under this Section 2.15 shall survive the payment in full of the obligations hereunder and the termination of this Agreement.

​

Section 2.16. Illegality. (a) (a) In the event that any Bank or Issuing Bank, as applicable, shall have determined (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) at any time that the making or continuance of its EurocurrencyAlternative Currency Term Rate Advances in Dollars or in any Alternative Currency, its SOFR Advances, its Daily Simple SOFR Advances, its ▇▇▇▇▇ Daily Rate Advances or the Issuance of Letters of Credit in a Primary Currency or another Alternative Currency, has become unlawful because of any Change in Law or because of the assertion of unlawfulness by any central bank or other Governmental Authority made after the date of this Agreement, then, in any such event, such Bank or such Issuing Bank, as applicable, shall give prompt notice (by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Company and to the Agent of such determination (which notice the Agent shall promptly transmit to the other Banks).

​

(b)Upon the giving of the notice to the Company referred to in subsection (a) above, then the obligation of the Banks to make, or to Convert Revolving Advances into or to continue Revolving Advances as, EurocurrencyAlternative Currency Term Rate Advances, SOFR Advances or ▇▇▇▇▇ Daily Rate Advances, or the obligation of the Issuing Banks to Issue Letters of Credit in the applicable Primary Currency or other Alternative Currency, shall be suspended until the applicable Bank or Issuing Bank notifies the Agent and the Agent shall notify the Company and the Banks that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and if any affected EurocurrencyAlternative Currency Term Rate Advances, SOFR Advances or ▇▇▇▇▇ Daily Rate Advances are then outstanding, the Company shall (or shall cause the applicable Borrower), upon at least one Business Day’s written notice to the Agent and the affected Bank, or if permitted by applicable law no later than the date permitted thereby, in the Company’s sole discretion, either (i) (i) prepay the principal amount of all outstanding Eurocurrencyaffected Alternative Currency Term Rate Advances, SOFR Advances or ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Rate Advances of such Bank to which such notice related, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of payment, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to

​

​

Section 2.02(c) or (i) (ii) Convert each such Eurocurrencyaffected Alternative Currency Term Rate Advance, SOFR Advance or ▇▇▇▇▇ Daily Rate Advance into a Base Rate Advance. If more than one Bank gives notice pursuant to Section 2.16(a) at any time, then all outstanding EurocurrencyAlternative Currency Term Rate Advances, SOFR Advances or ▇▇▇▇▇ Daily Rate Advances of such ▇▇▇▇▇ must be treated the same by the applicable Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.16(b). Any Base Rate Advance arising by reason of this Section 2.16(b) as a result of the Conversion of (x) a Eurocurrencyan Alternative Currency Term Rate Advance shall have an Interest Period assigned to it that ends on the date that the EurocurrencyAlternative Currency Term Rate Advance for which it shall have been substituted would have expired, and the interest thereon shall be payable on the date that interest would otherwise have been payable on such EurocurrencyAlternative Currency Term Rate Advance, (y) a SOFR Advance shall have an Interest Period assigned to it that ends on the date that the SOFR Advance for which it shall have been substituted would have expired, and the interest thereon shall be payable on the date that interest would otherwise have been payable on such SOFR Advance and (yz) a ▇▇▇▇▇ Daily Rate Advance shall bear interest on a daily basis, and the interest thereon shall be payable on the first Business Day of each month. Such Base Rate Advance may be prepaid at any time prior to the date that the EurocurrencyAlternative Currency Term Rate Advances, SOFR Advances or ▇▇▇▇▇ Daily Rate Advance comprising a part of such Revolving Borrowing shall be prepaid in accordance with this Agreement.

​

Section 2.17. Payments and Computations. (a) (a) The Borrowers shall make each payment hereunder and under the Notes (except with respect to principal of, interest on, and other amounts relating to Advances denominated in an Alternative Currency) not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the day when due in Dollars to the Agent in same day funds, without set-off or counterclaim, by deposit of such funds to the Agent’s account maintained at the Payment Office for Dollars. The Borrowers shall make each payment hereunder and under the Notes with respect to principal of, interest on, and other amounts relating to Advances or Letters of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency not later than 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the day when due in such Alternative Currency to the Agent in same day funds by deposit of such funds to the Agent’s account maintained at the Payment Office for such Alternative Currency. The Agent will give the Company prior notice of the due date of the principal of any Revolving Advance and of the due date and amount of any fees payable hereunder; provided that the failure to give any such prior notice shall not limit the Company’s or the applicable Borrower’s liability for such payment, but shall delay the due date of such payment for purposes of Sections 6.01(a) or (b), as applicable, by the number of days after such due date that such notice is given. The Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal, interest, Reimbursement Obligations or fees ratably

​

​

(other than amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.11, 2.15, 2.19, 2.20 or 2.22 or as contemplated by Section 2.24) to the applicable Banks for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices, and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Bank to such Bank for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

​

(b)All computations of interest for Base Rate Advances (including Base Rate Advances determined by reference to the Eurocurrency RateTerm SOFR) shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year), or, in the case of interest in respect of Advances denominated in any Alternative Currency for which market practice is to compute interest in respect thereof on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed, on such basis. Interest shall accrue on each Advance for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on an Advance, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Advance or such portion is paid; provided that any Advance that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12(a), bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Agent (or, in the case of Section 2.11, by a Bank) of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

​

(c)Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Notes shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such cases be included in the computation of payment of interest or fees, as the case may be; provided, however, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of EurocurrencyAlternative Currency Term Rate Advances or SOFR Advances to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day.

​

(d)Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due from such Borrower to the Banks hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment in full to it on such date and it may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause (but shall not be required to cause) to be distributed to each Bank on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Bank. If and to the extent such Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Agent as applicable, each Bank shall repay to the Agent as applicable, forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Bank together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Bank until the date such Bank repays such amount to the

​

​

Agent at the Overnight Rate, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Issuing Bank in connection with the foregoing.

​

With respect to any payment that the Agent makes for the account of the Banks or any Issuing Bank hereunder as to which the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that any of the following applies (such payment referred to as the “Rescindable Amount”): (1) a Borrower has not in fact made such payment; (2) the Agent has made a payment in excess of the amount so paid by the Borrower (whether or not then owed); or (3) the Agent has for any reason otherwise erroneously made such payment; then each of the Banks or the applicable Issuing Banks, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount so distributed to such Bank or such Issuing Bank, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

​

Section 2.18. Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Bank shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of the Revolving Advances made by it or participations in Letter of Credit Obligations or in Swing Line Advances held by it (other than pursuant to Sections 2.11, 2.15, 2.16 or 2.20 or as contemplated by Section 2.24) in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of the Revolving Advances or participation in Letter of Credit Obligations or Swing Line Advances held by all the Banks, such Bank shall forthwith purchase from the other Banks such participations in the Revolving Advances or Letter of Credit Obligations or Swing Line Advances made by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Bank to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Bank, such purchase from each Bank shall be rescinded and such Bank shall repay to the purchasing Bank the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Bank’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (a) (a) the amount of such Bank’s required repayment to (b) (b) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Bank) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Bank in respect of the total amount so recovered. Each Borrower agrees that any Bank so purchasing a participation from another Bank pursuant to this Section 2.18 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Bank were a Bank hereunder in the amount of such participation.

​

Section 2.19. Swing Line Advances.

​

​

(a)The Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein including Section 2.24(c), the Swing Line Bank, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Banks set forth in this Section 2.19, shall make advances (each such advance, a “Swing Line Advance”) to the Company from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the date hereof until the Termination Date in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Advances, when aggregated with the Letter of Credit Participations and Advances held by the Bank serving as Swing Line Bank may exceed the amount of such Bank’s Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Swing Line Advance, (i) (i) the sum of the Revolving Credit Obligations shall not exceed the Total Commitment, and (ii) (ii) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Advances of any Bank, plus such Bank’s Letter of Credit Participations, plus such Bank’s Swing Line Participations shall not exceed such Bank’s Commitments; and provided further, that the Company shall not use the proceeds of any Swing Line Advance to refinance any outstanding Swing Line Advance. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Company may borrow under this Section 2.19, prepay under Section 2.14, and reborrow under this Section 2.19. Each Swing Line Advance shall be a Base Rate Advance and shall be denominated in Dollars. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Advance, each Bank shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Bank a risk participation in such Swing Line Advance (a “Swing Line Participation”) in proportion to such Bank’s Applicable Percentage.

​

(b)Borrowing Procedures. Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the Company’s irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Bank and the Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line Bank and the Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $100,000, and (ii) (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing Line Bank and the Agent of a written notice (a “Notice of Swing Line Borrowing”) substantially in the form of Exhibit B-3 hereto (or such other form as may be approved by the Agent (including any form on an electronic platform or electronic transmission system as shall be approved by the Agent)), appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Company. Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line Bank of any telephonic Notice of Swing Line Borrowing, the Swing Line Bank will confirm with the Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Agent has also received such Notice of Swing Line Borrowing and, if not, the Swing Line Bank will notify the Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line Bank has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Agent (including at the request of any Bank) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Swing Line

​

​

Borrowing (x) directing the Swing Line Bank not to make such Swing Line Advance as a result of the limitations set forth in the first proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.19(a), or (y) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Article 3 is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Bank will, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Notice of Swing Line Borrowing, make the amount of its Swing Line Advance available to the Company at its Payment Office for Dollars.

​

(c)Refinancing of Swing Line Advances.

​

(i)The Swing Line Bank at any time in its sole discretion may request, on behalf of the Company (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Bank to so request on its behalf), that each Bank make a Base Rate Advance in an amount equal to such Bank’s Swing Line Participation of the amount of Swing Line Advances then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Notice of Revolving Borrowing for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.01, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Advances, but subject to the limitations set forth in the final sentence of Section 2.01(a) and the conditions set forth in Section 3.02. The Swing Line Bank shall furnish the Company with a copy of the applicable Notice of Revolving Borrowing promptly after delivering such notice to the Agent. Each Bank shall make an amount equal to its Swing Line Participation with respect to the applicable Swing Line Advance available to the Agent in immediately available funds for the account of the Swing Line Bank not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Notice of Revolving Borrowing, whereupon, subject to Section 2.19(c)(ii), each Bank that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Advance to the Company in such amount. The Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Bank.

​

(ii)If for any reason any Swing Line Advance cannot be refinanced by such a Base Rate Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.19(c)(i), the request for Base Rate Advance submitted by the Swing Line Bank as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing Line Bank that each of the Banks fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Advance and each Bank’s payment to the Agent for the account of the Swing Line Bank pursuant to Section 2.19(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.

​

(iii)If any Bank fails to make available to the Agent for the account of the Swing Line Bank any amount required to be paid by such Bank pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.19(c) by the

​

​

time specified in Section 2.19(c)(i), the Swing Line Bank shall be entitled to recover from such Bank (acting through the Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swing Line Bank at a rate per annum equal to the Overnight Rate, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Swing Line Bank in connection with the foregoing. If such Bank pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Bank’s Base Rate Advance included in the relevant Base Rate Borrowing or funded participation in the relevant Swing Line Advance, as the case may be. A certificate of the Swing Line Bank submitted to any Bank (through the Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

​

(iv)Each Bank’s obligation to make Base Rate Advances or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Advances pursuant to this Section 2.19(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Bank may have against the Swing Line Bank, the Company or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Bank’s obligation to make Base Rate Advances pursuant to this Section 2.19(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 3.02. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Company to repay Swing Line Advances, together with interest as provided herein.

​

(d)Repayment of Participations.

​

(i)At any time after any Bank has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Advance, if the Swing Line Bank receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Advance, the Swing Line Bank will distribute to such Bank its Applicable Percentage thereof in the same funds as those received by the Swing Line Bank.

​

(ii)If any payment received by the Swing Line Bank in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Advance is required to be returned by the Swing Line Bank or is invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing Line Bank in its discretion), each Bank shall pay to the Swing Line Bank its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per

​

​

annum equal to the Overnight Rate. The Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Bank. The obligations of the Banks under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the obligations hereunder and the termination of this Agreement.

​

(e)Interest for Account of Swing Line Bank. The Swing Line Bank shall be responsible for invoicing the Company for interest on the Swing Line Advances. Until each Bank funds its Base Rate Advance or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.19 to refinance such Bank’s Swing Line Participation in any Swing Line Advance, interest in respect of such Swing Line Participation shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line Bank.

​

(f)Payments Directly to Swing Line Bank. The Company shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Advances directly to the Swing Line Bank.

​

Section 2.20. Taxes. (a) (a)Subject to Section 2.20(f), any and all payments by any Loan Party under the Loan Documents shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.17 and except as required by law, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, deductions, withholdings (including backup withholding), assessments, fees or other charges imposed by any Governmental Authority, including any interest, additions to tax or penalties, applicable thereto and all liabilities with respect thereto (collectively, “Taxes”), excluding, (i) (i) in the case of each Bank, each Issuing Bank and the Agent, (A) (A) Taxes imposed on or measured by its net income, branch profits Taxes and franchise Taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) under the laws of which such Bank, such Issuing Bank or the Agent (as the case may be) is organized, has its principal office or lending office or carries on business and (B) (B) any withholding Taxes (including any backup withholding Taxes) imposed by the United States of America with respect to payments under the Loan Documents under the laws (including any statute, treaty or regulation) in effect on the Third Amendment and Restatement Effective Date (or, in the case of any assignee party to an Assignment and Acceptance, on the effective date of its becoming a “Bank” hereunder or the Bank or Issuing Bank changes its lending office), but not excluding any such withholding Taxes payable as a result of any change in such laws occurring on or after the Third Amendment and Restatement Effective Date (or, in the case of any assignee party to an Assignment and Acceptance, after the effective date of its becoming a “Bank” hereunder) and not excluding such withholding Taxes on payments to an assignee to the extent amounts with respect to such Taxes would have been payable to the assignor pursuant to Section 2.20(f), (ii) (ii) in the case of each Bank and each Issuing Bank, Taxes imposed on or measured by its net income, branch profits Taxes and franchise Taxes imposed on it, as a result of a present or former connection between such Bank or such Issuing Bank and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing

​

​

such Tax or any taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such Taxes that would not be imposed but for such Person’s execution of, or exercise of any rights or remedies under, this Agreement or any other Loan Document), and (iii) (iii) any U.S. federal withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA (all such non-excluded Taxes being hereinafter referred to as “Indemnified Taxes”). Subject to Section 2.20(f), if any Borrower or the Agent shall be required by law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to any Bank, any Issuing Bank or the Agent, (x) the sum payable by the applicable Borrower shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.20(a)) such Bank, such Issuing Bank or the Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (y) such Borrower or the Agent, as applicable, shall make such deductions and (z) such Borrower or the Agent, as applicable, shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.

​

(b)In addition, each Borrower individually agrees, and the Company jointly and severally with the applicable Borrower agrees, to pay any present or future stamp, filing, intangible, recording, documentary or similar Taxes and any other excise or property Taxes, charges and similar levies which arise from any payment made by such Borrower under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document, except any such Taxes imposed as a result of a present or former connection between the Agent, a Bank or an Issuing Bank and the jurisdiction imposing such Tax (other than any such Taxes that would not be imposed but for such Person’s execution of, performance of or exercise of any rights or remedies under, or receiving payments under, this Agreement or any other Loan Document) with respect to an assignment (other than an assignment made pursuant to Section 2.21) (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”). The Agent may demand payment of, and seek recourse on, any Other Taxes from the Company and such Borrower, without any requirement that the Agent allocate the reimbursement obligation for such Other Taxes between the Company and such Borrower.

​

(c)Each Borrower will indemnify each Bank, each Issuing Bank and the Agent for the full amount of Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.20) paid by such Bank, such Issuing Bank or the Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses reasonably incurred) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted; provided, however, that such Borrower shall not be obligated to make payment to such Bank, such Issuing Bank or the Agent (as the case may be) pursuant to this Section 2.20(c) in respect of penalties, interest or

​

expenses attributable to such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes if such penalties, interest or expenses are attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Person seeking indemnification under this Section 2.20(c). This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Bank, such Issuing Bank or the Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor by delivering a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount of the indemnification to be made hereunder and the basis for the calculation thereof, which certificate shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. No Borrower shall be obligated to pay any indemnification with respect to a demand under this Section 2.20(c) related to amounts incurred more than 120 days prior to such Borrower’s receipt of the certificate with respect to such demand required under this Section 2.20(c); provided, that if the circumstances giving rise to such demand are retroactive, then the 120-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect; provided further, that any Borrower that is a "controlled foreign corporation" within the meaning of Section 957 of the Internal Revenue Code shall not be required to pay amounts under this Section 2.20(c) in respect of Taxes that did not arise in connection with any obligations of such Borrower under any Loan Document.

​

(d)The Agent may, from time to time, request that the Company furnish (and the Company shall, reasonably promptly following any such request, furnish) to the Agent the originals or certified copies of receipts evidencing the payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by and on behalf of the Borrowers (or any other form, certificate or document reasonably acceptable to the Agent).

​

(e)Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrowers contained in this Section 2.20 shall survive the payment in full of principal and interest hereunder and under the Notes.

​

(f)(i) (i) On or prior to the Third Amendment and Restatement Effective Date (or, in the case of any assignee party to an Assignment and Acceptance, on the effective date of its becoming a “Bank” hereunder), each Bank and each Issuing Bank, in each case, organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States of America shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, provide the Agent, the Company and each other Borrower that is organized under the laws of the United States of America (or any state or political subdivision thereof) with the forms prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service of the United States of America certifying such Bank’s or such Issuing Bank’s (as the case may be) exemption from withholding taxes imposed by the United States of America with respect to all payments to be made to such Bank or such Issuing Bank (as the case may be) under any Loan Document, and each such Bank or Issuing Bank (as the case may be) shall thereafter provide the Agent, the Company and each other Borrower that is organized under the laws of the United States of America (or any state or political subdivision thereof) with such

​

​

supplements and amendments thereto and such additional forms, certificates, statements or documents as may from time to time be required by applicable law. If a Bank or Issuing Bank that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States of America shall fail to deliver, or improperly delivers, the forms, certificates, statements or documents required to be delivered by this Section 2.20(f)(i), then Section 2.20(a) shall not apply with respect to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes imposed on any payments made to or for the account of such Bank or such Issuing Bank (as the case may be) under any Loan Document to the extent that such taxes would not have been imposed but for such Bank or Issuing Bank’s failure to deliver or deliver properly the forms, certificates, statements or documents required to be delivered by this Section 2.20(f)(i), during the period that such failure or deficiency shall continue, and the Borrowers or the Agent shall be permitted to withhold United States federal, state and local income taxes from any payments made under any Loan Document at the applicable statutory rate.

​

(i)[Reserved]

​

(ii)[Reserved]

​

(iii)[Reserved]

​

(iv)Each Bank and each Issuing Bank that is organized under the laws of the United States of America (or any state or political subdivision thereof) shall, on or prior to the Third Amendment and Restatement Effective Date (or, in the case of any assignee party to an Assignment and Acceptance, on the effective date of its becoming a “Bank” hereunder), provide the Agent, the Company and each other Borrower that is organized under the laws of the United States of America (or any state or political subdivision thereof) with two complete copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, and each such Bank or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, shall thereafter provide the Agent, the Company and each other Borrower that is organized under the laws of the United States of America (or any state or political subdivision thereof) with such supplements and amendments thereto and such additional forms, certificates, statements or documents as may from time to time be required by applicable law. If a Bank or Issuing Bank that is organized under the laws of the United States of America (or any state or political subdivision thereof) shall fail to deliver, or improperly delivers, the forms, certificates, statements or documents required to be delivered by this Section 2.20(f)(iv), then Section 2.20(a) shall not apply with respect to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes imposed on any payments made to or for the account of such Bank or such Issuing Bank (as the case may be) under any Loan Document to the extent that such taxes would not have been imposed but for such Bank or Issuing Bank’s failure to deliver or

​

​

deliver properly the forms, certificates, statements or documents required to be delivered by this Section 2.20(f)(iv), during the period that such failure or deficiency shall continue, and the Borrowers or the Agent shall be permitted to withhold United States federal, state and local income taxes from any payments made, under any Loan Document at the applicable statutory rate.

​

(v)In addition to the requirements of Section 2.20(f)(i) and (f)(iv), each Bank and each Issuing Bank that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding taxes with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Agent, the Company and each other Borrower, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Agent, the Company and each other Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Agent, the Company and each other Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding sentence, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.20(f)(i), (f)(iv) and (k)) shall not be required if in the Bank or Issuing Bank’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Bank or Issuing Bank to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Bank or Issuing Bank.

​

(g)If any Bank or Issuing Bank determines, in its sole discretion, exercised in good faith, that it has actually and finally realized, by reason of a refund, deduction or credit of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid or reimbursed by a Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.20 in respect of payments under any Loan Document and that such refund, deduction or credit would result in the total payments under this Section 2.20 exceeding the amount needed to make such Bank or such Issuing Bank whole, such Bank or such Issuing Bank shall pay to such Borrower, with reasonable promptness following the date on which it actually realizes such benefit, an amount equal to such refund, deduction or credit, net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in securing such refund; provided, however, that (i) such Bank or Issuing Bank shall not be obligated to disclose to any Borrower any information regarding its tax affairs or computations and (ii) nothing contained in this Section 2.20(g) shall be construed so as to interfere with the right of any Bank or Issuing Bank to arrange its tax affairs as it deems appropriate.

​

(h)Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, for any period with respect to which any Bank (including any assignee party to an Assignment and Acceptance that becomes a “Bank” hereunder) or Issuing Bank has failed to deliver, or has improperly delivered, to the Borrowers or the Agent (as the case may be) the appropriate form, certificate, statement or document

​

​

required to be delivered in Section 2.20(f) or Section 2.20(k), such Bank or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, shall not be entitled to indemnification under Section 2.20(c) for any Indemnified Taxes imposed by reason of such failure or improper delivery.

​

(i)Any Bank claiming any indemnification or additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.20 will designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such indemnification or additional amounts and will not, in the reasonable judgment of such Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank.

​

(j)Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, if any Bank changes its residence, principal place of business or Applicable Lending Office or takes any similar action (other than at the Company’s request or pursuant to Section 2.20(i)), and the effect of such change or action, as of the date thereof, would be to increase the additional amounts or indemnification that the Borrowers are required to pay under Section 2.20(a) and Section 2.20(c) then the Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay the amount of such increase.

​

(k)If any payment made pursuant to the Loan Documents would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if the recipient were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such recipient shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Agent as may be necessary for the Borrowers and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such recipient has complied with such recipient’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.20(k), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date hereof.

​

(l)Each Bank shall severally indemnify the Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Taxes attributable to such Bank (but only to the extent that the applicable Borrower and the Company have not already indemnified the Agent for such Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the applicable Borrower and the Company to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Bank’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.08(e) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any other Taxes attributable to such Bank, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or

​

​

asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Bank by the Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Bank hereby authorizes the Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Bank under this Agreement or otherwise payable by the Agent to the Bank from any other source against any amount due to the Agent under this paragraph (l).

​

(m)For purposes of determining withholding Indemnified Taxes imposed under FATCA, from and after the Third Amendment and Restatement Effective Date, the Company and the Agent shall treat (and the Banks hereby authorize the Agent to treat) this Agreement as not qualifying as a "grandfathered obligation" within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).

​

Section 2.21. Substitution of Banks. In the event that (v) any Bank shall not have consented to any amendment to this Agreement requiring the consent of all Banks whereas the Majority Banks have consented; (w) any one or more Banks, pursuant to Section 2.15 hereof, incurs any increased costs, receives a reduced payment or is required to make any payment for which any such Bank demands compensation pursuant to such Section, or makes a claim for indemnity or compensation under Section 2.20 hereof with respect to a payment when no other Bank makes a claim for indemnity or compensation under Section 2.20 with respect to such payment, in any such case which compensation or indemnity increases the effective lending rate of such Bank with respect to its share of the Revolving Advances in excess of the effective lending rate of the other Banks, and such Bank has not mitigated such increased costs, reduced payment or additional payment within 30 days after receipt by such Bank from the Company of a written notice that such Bank’s effective lending rate has so exceeded the effective lending rate of the other Banks; (x) any one or more Banks have determined pursuant to Section 2.16(a) or Section 3.01(b)(ii) that it may not make or maintain all or certain of its EurocurrencyAlternative Currency Term Rate Advances, SOFR Advances or ▇▇▇▇▇ Daily Rate Advances at such time (and the other Banks shall continue to be able to make or maintain their corresponding EurocurrencyAlternative Currency Term Rate Advances, SOFR Advances or ▇▇▇▇▇ Daily Rate Advances at such time) and the inability of such Bank, as applicable, to make or maintain such EurocurrencyAlternative Currency Term Rate Advances, SOFR Advances or ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Rate Advances continues for 30 or more days after the receipt by the Company from such Bank of written notice of such inability and the Company’s request that such Bank alleviate such inability; (y) any Bank is a Defaulting Bank; or (z) any Bank shall decline (or be deemed to have declined) to extend its Commitment hereunder after a request for extension of Commitments pursuant to Section 2.22 and Banks constituting Majority Banks have agreed to extend their Commitments pursuant to such request; then and in any such event, the Company may substitute for such Bank an existing Bank, or another financial institution which is reasonably acceptable to the Agent, to assume the Commitment, the Letter of Credit Participations

​

and/or the Swing Line Participations of such Bank and to purchase the Note of such Bank hereunder, without recourse to or warranty (other than as to unencumbered ownership) by, or expense to, such Bank for a purchase price equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Advances then payable to such Bank plus any accrued but unpaid interest and accrued but unpaid fees with respect thereto; provided that in the case of clause (v) above, such substitute Bank shall have provided the applicable consent. Such purchase may be effected by execution and delivery by such Bank and its replacement of an Assignment and Acceptance in the manner described in Section 9.08(d). Upon such purchase, to the extent of the rights and benefits assigned, such Bank shall no longer be a party hereto or have any rights or benefits hereunder (except for rights or benefits that such Bank would retain hereunder upon termination of this Agreement) and the replacement Bank shall succeed to the rights and benefits, and shall assume the obligations, of such Bank hereunder, including such Bank’s Letter of Credit Participations and Swing Line Participations, and under such Bank’s Note.

​

Section 2.22. Extension of Commitments. (a) One time during each period from the date that is 90 days prior to each Anniversary Date to the date that is 30 days prior to each such Anniversary Date (but in any case not more than three times during the term of this Agreement), the Borrowers may, by written notice (an “Extension Request”) given to the Agent, request that the Stated Termination Date be extended. Each such Extension Request shall contemplate an extension of the Stated Termination Date to a date that is one year after the Stated Termination Date then in effect.

​

(b)The Agent shall promptly advise each Bank of its receipt of any Extension Request. Each Bank may, in its sole discretion, consent to a requested extension by giving written notice thereof to the Agent by not later than the date (the “Extension Confirmation Date”) that is 20 days after the date of the Extension Request, which consent shall be irrevocable when given. Each Bank that does not consent to such extension (a “Non-Extending Bank”) shall notify the Agent of such fact promptly after such determination (but in any event no later than the Extension Confirmation Date) and any Bank that does not so advise the Agent on or before the Extension Confirmation Date shall be deemed to be a Non-Extending Bank. The election of any Bank to agree to such extension (each such Bank is herein called an “Extending Bank”) shall not obligate any other Bank to so agree. Subject to the Company’s right to replace a Bank pursuant to Section 2.21, if the aggregate amount of Commitments of the Banks that have agreed to extend their Stated Termination Date shall be more than 50% of the Total Commitments in effect immediately prior to the applicable Anniversary Date, then, promptly following the opening of business on the first Business Day following the applicable Extension Confirmation Date, the Agent shall notify the Company in writing as to whether the requested extension has been granted (such written notice being an “Extension Confirmation Notice”) and, if granted, such

​

​

extension shall become effective upon the issuance of the Extension Confirmation Notice. The Agent shall promptly thereafter provide a copy of such Extension Confirmation Notice to each Bank. If such extension is not granted, the Agent shall give the Company notice of the identity of any non-consenting Banks. If the Company replaces one or more non-consenting Banks pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.21, and any such replacement Bank becomes a Bank on or before the earlier of (i) 30 days after the Extension Confirmation Date and (b) 5 days before the applicable Anniversary Date, and consents to the Extension Request at the time it becomes a Bank, such consent shall be effective retroactively as of the Extension Confirmation Date.

​

(c)In connection with any extension of the Stated Termination Date, the Company, the Agent and each Bank may make such technical and conforming modifications to this Agreement as the Agent and the Company determine to be reasonably necessary to evidence the extension.

​

Section 2.23. Cash Collateral.

​

(a)Certain Credit Support Events. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Bank, if the reallocation described in Section 2.24(a)(iv) cannot, or only can partially, be effected, then within two (2) Business Days following written notice by the Agent to the Company, the Company shall Cash Collateralize the Issuing Banks’ Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.24(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Bank) in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount.

​

(b)Grant of Security Interest. The Company, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Bank, such Bank, hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) the Agent, for the benefit of the Agent and the Issuing Banks, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral, all as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral shall be applied pursuant to Section 2.23(c). If at any time the Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Agent as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, the Company will, promptly upon demand by the Agent, pay or provide to the Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency.

​

(c)Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 2.23 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific Letter of Credit Obligations or obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Bank, any interest accrued on such

​

obligation), prior to any other application of such property as may be provided for herein.

​

(d)Release. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure shall be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Bank status of the applicable Bank or (ii) the Agent’s good faith determination that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided, however, (x) that Cash Collateral furnished by or on behalf of the Company shall not be released during the continuance of an Event of Default (and following application as provided in this Section 2.23 may be otherwise applied in accordance with this Credit Agreement), and (y) the Person providing Cash Collateral and the applicable Issuing Banks, as applicable, may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.

​

Section 2.24. Defaulting Banks.

​

(a)Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Bank becomes a Defaulting Bank, then, until such time as that Bank is no longer a Defaulting Bank, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

​

(i)Waivers and Amendments. That Defaulting Bank’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Majority Banks.

​

(ii)Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Agent for the account of that Defaulting Bank (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article 6 or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Agent by that Defaulting Bank pursuant to Section 9.05) hereunder, shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Bank to the Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Bank to any Issuing Bank or Swing Line Bank hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the Issuing Banks’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Bank in accordance with Section 2.23; fourth, as the Company may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Advance in respect of which that Defaulting Bank has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Agent and the Company, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy obligations

​

​

of that Defaulting Bank to fund Advances under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize the Issuing Banks’ future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Bank with respect to future Letters of Credit; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Banks or the Issuing Banks or Swing Line Bank as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Bank or Issuing Bank or Swing Line Bank against that Defaulting Bank as a result of that Defaulting Bank’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to any Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such Borrower against that Defaulting Bank as a result of that Defaulting Bank’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to that Defaulting Bank or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Advances or reimbursement of a disbursement under a Letter of Credit in respect of which that Defaulting Bank has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Advances were made or such Letter of Credit was issued at a time when the applicable conditions set forth in Article 3 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Advances of and Letter of Credit Obligations owed to all non-Defaulting Banks on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Advances of that Defaulting Bank until such time as all Advances and all funded and unfunded participations in Letter of Credit Obligations are held by the Banks pro rata as contemplated hereunder. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Bank that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Bank or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.24(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Bank, and each Bank irrevocably consents hereto.

​

(iii)Certain Fees. (A) (A) Each Defaulting Bank shall be entitled to receive a facility fee pursuant to Section 2.07(a) for any period during which that Bank is a Defaulting Bank only to the extent allocatable to the sum of (1) (1) the outstanding amount of the Revolving Advances funded by it and (2) (2) its Applicable Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral hereunder.

​

(B)Each Defaulting Bank shall be entitled to receive Letter of Credit Fees for any period during which that Bank is a Defaulting Bank only to the extent allocatable to its Applicable Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral hereunder.

​

(C)With respect to facility fees and Letter of Credit Fees not required to be paid to any Defaulting Bank pursuant to

​

clause (A) or (B) above, the Company shall (x) pay to each Bank that is not a Defaulting Bank that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Bank with respect to such Defaulting Bank’s participation in Letter of Credit Obligations and Swing Line Advance that has been reallocated to such non-Defaulting Bank pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to each Issuing Bank and Swing Line Bank, as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Bank to the extent allocable to such Issuing Bank’s or Swing Line Bank’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Bank, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

​

(iv)Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. During any period in which there is a Defaulting Bank, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Bank to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit (and Letter of Credit Obligations) and Swing Line Advances pursuant to Section 2.05, the Applicable Percentage of each non-Defaulting Bank shall be computed without giving effect to the Commitment of that Defaulting Bank; provided that (x) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, on the date of reallocation, no Default or Event of Default exists; and (y) the reallocation shall only be permitted to the extent that it does not cause the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Advances of any Bank plus such Bank’s Letter of Credit Participations and Swing Line Participations (giving effect to the reallocation pursuant to this clause (iv)) to exceed such Bank’s Commitments.

​

(v)Repayment of Swing Line Advances; Cash Collateral. If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Company shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, within two (2) Business Days following written notice by the Agent to the Company, (x) first, prepay Swing Line Advances in an amount equal to the Swing Line Bank’s Fronting Exposure and (y) second, Cash Collateralize the Issuing Banks’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.23.

​

(b)Defaulting Bank Cure. If the Company, the Agent, and the Issuing Banks agree in writing that a Defaulting Bank should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Bank, the Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Bank will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Advances of the other Banks or take such other actions as the Agent may

​

​

​

determine to be necessary to cause the Revolving Advances and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held on a pro rata basis by the Banks according to their Applicable Percentages (without giving effect to Section 2.24(a)), in the case of Letters of Credit, whereupon that Bank will cease to be a Defaulting Bank; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Company while that Bank was a Defaulting Bank; provided further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties and subject to Section 9.20, no change hereunder from Defaulting Bank to Bank will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Bank’s having been a Defaulting Bank.

​

(c)New Swing Line Advances/Letters of Credit. So long as any Bank is a Defaulting Bank, (i) the Swing Line Bank shall not be required to fund any Swing Line Advances unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swing Line Advance and (ii) no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.
