Unless otherwise specified, all references herein to times of day shall be references to New York City time (daylight or standard, as applicable). 1.5 Eurodollar Rate. The Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept responsibility for, or have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to the rates in the definition of “Eurodollar Rate” or with respect to any rate that is an alternative or replacement for or successor to any of such rate (including, without limitation, any Benchmark Replacement) or the effect of any of the foregoing, or of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. 1.6 Letter of Credit Amounts. Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the stated amount of such Letter of Credit in effect at such time; provided, however, that with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any Issuer Document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time. 1.7 Joint and Several Liability; Waivers. (a) Each Borrower is part of a group of affiliated Persons, and each Borrower expects to receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the extension of the credit facility established pursuant to this Agreement. In consideration of the foregoing, each Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for all of the Liabilities, including Liabilities incurred by either Borrower under the Existing Credit Agreement, whether now or hereafter existing or due or to become due and that the Liabilities are the joint and several obligation of each Borrower. (b) Each Borrower consents and agrees that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may, at any time and from time to time, without notice or demand, and without affecting the enforceability or continuing effectiveness hereof: (a) amend, extend, renew, compromise, discharge, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment or the terms of the Liabilities or any part thereof; (b) take, hold, exchange, enforce, waive, release, fail to perfect, sell, or otherwise dispose of any security for the payment of this Agreement or any Liabilities; and (c) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion may determine. Without limiting the
31 744308279 generality of the foregoing, each Borrower consents to the taking of, or failure to take, any action which might in any manner or to any extent vary the risks of such Borrower under this Agreement or which, but for this provision, might operate as a discharge of such Borrower. (c) Each Borrower waives to the fullest extent permitted by law (a) any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of any other Borrower or the cessation from any cause whatsoever (including any act or omission of any Lender or the Administrative Agent) of the liability of any other Borrower; (b) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Borrower’s liability hereunder; (c) any right to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to proceed against any other Borrower or pursue any other remedy in the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s power whatsoever and any defense based upon the doctrines of marshalling of assets or of election of remedies; and (d) to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all other defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by applicable law limiting the liability of or exonerating guarantors or sureties, other than the defense that the Liabilities have been fully performed, and the Liabilities and any other amounts payable under this Agreement have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash. Each Borrower expressly waives all setoffs and counterclaims and all presentments, demands for payment or performance, notices of nonpayment or nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and all other notices or demands of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the Liabilities, and all notices of the creation or incurrence of new or additional Liabilities. The obligations of each Borrower hereunder are those of primary obligor, and not merely as surety, and a separate action may be brought against such Borrower to enforce its obligations under this Agreement whether or not any other Borrower or any other person or entity is joined as a party. (d) No Borrower shall exercise any right of subrogation, contribution, indemnity, reimbursement or similar rights with respect to any payments it makes under this Agreement until all of the Liabilities and any other amounts payable under this Agreement have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full and any commitments of the Lenders or facilities provided by the Lenders with respect to the Liabilities are terminated. If any amounts are paid to a Borrower in violation of the foregoing limitation, then such amounts shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Lenders and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent to reduce the amount of the Liabilities, whether matured or unmatured. (e) Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it has the sole responsibility for, and has adequate means of, obtaining from each other Borrower such information concerning the financial condition, business and operations of the other Borrowers as such Borrower requires, and that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have no duty, and no Borrower is relying on the Administrative Agent or any Lender at any time, to disclose to such Borrower any information relating to the business, operations or financial condition of any Borrower (the Borrower waiving any duty on the part of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to disclose such information and any defense relating to the failure to provide the same).
32 744308279 1.8 Designation of Lead Borrower as Borrower’s Agent. (a) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Lead Borrower as such Borrower’s agent to receive notices on behalf of any Borrower, and on a nonexclusive basis, without prohibiting any Borrower to act on its own account, to obtain Loans and Letters of Credit, the proceeds of which shall be available to each Borrower for such uses as are permitted under this Agreement. As the disclosed principal for its agent, each Borrower shall be obligated to the Administrative Agent and each Lender on account of Loans so made and Letters of Credit so issued as if made directly by the Lenders to such Borrower, notwithstanding the manner by which such Loans and Letters of Credit are recorded on the books and records of the Lead Borrower and of any other Borrower. (b) The Lead Borrower shall act as a conduit for each Borrower (including itself, as a Borrower) on whose behalf the Lead Borrower has requested a Loan. None of the Administrative Agent nor any Lender or Issuer shall have any obligation to see to the application of such proceeds. (c) The authority of the Lead Borrower to request Loans and Letters of Credit on behalf of, and to bind, the Borrowers, shall continue unless and until the Administrative Agent actually receives written notice of: (i) the termination of such authority, and (ii) the subsequent appointment of a successor Lead Borrower, which notice is signed by the respective Authorized Officer of each Borrower; and (iii) written notice from such successive Lead Borrower accepting such appointment and acknowledging that from and after the date of such appointment, the newly appointed Lead Borrower shall be bound by the terms hereof, and that as used herein, the term “Lead Borrower” shall mean and include the newly appointed Lead Borrower. SECTION 2. COMMITMENTS OF THE LENDERS. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Lender, severally but not jointly, agrees to make Loans and to participate in Letters of Credit, as described in this Section 2. 2.1 Commitments to Make Loans. (1) Each Lender, severally but not jointly, agrees to make revolving loans to each Borrower, which may be repaid and reborrowed from time to time on any Business Day, during the period from the Restatement Effective Date to the Termination Date, in such amounts as a Borrower may from time to time request. (2) All Loans shall be made by the Lenders on a pro rata basis, calculated for each Lender based on its Percentage. 2.2 Commitment to Issue Letters of Credit. From time to time on any Business Day, each Issuer agrees to issue, and each Lender will participate in, Letters of Credit in accordance with Section 5. 2.3 Loan Options. Each Loan shall be either an Alternate Base Rate Loan or a Eurodollar Rate Loan as shall be selected by the Lead Borrower, except as otherwise provided
33 744308279 herein. During any period that any Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default exists, the Lead Borrower shall no longer have the option of electing Eurodollar Rate Loans, and during such period all Loans shall be made as or converted to (on the last day of the Interest Period therefor) Alternate Base Rate Loans only, it being understood, however, that the foregoing shall not be construed to waive, amend or modify any right or power of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent hereunder, including all rights to terminate the Commitments and declare the Loans immediately due and payable. The maximum number of Borrowings of Eurodollar Rate Loans which the Lead Borrower shall be permitted to have outstanding at any time shall not exceed ten (10). The Lead Borrower shall not have the right to borrow Eurodollar Rate Loans less than two weeks prior to the scheduled Termination Date. 2.4 Borrowing Procedures. (a) Loan Requests. The Lead Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice, which may be given by (A) telephone, or (B) a Loan Request; provided that any telephonic notice must be confirmed immediately by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Loan Request, not later than (i) 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the requested Funding Date (or continuation or conversion date, as applicable) in the instance of a Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans, or (ii) 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the requested Funding Date in the instance of a Borrowing of Alternate Base Rate Loans, of each requested Borrowing, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly advise each Lender thereof. Each notice from the Lead Borrower to the Administrative Agent shall specify (i) the requested Funding Date or continuation/conversion date, as applicable, (ii) the aggregate amount of the Borrowing requested (in an amount permitted under Section 2.4(b)), (iii) the Type of Loans being borrowed, continued or converted, as applicable, and (iv) if such Borrowing, continuation or conversion is of Eurodollar Rate Loans, the Interest Period with respect thereto (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.3 and the definition of Interest Period). Any notice not specifying the Type of Borrowing shall be deemed a request for a Borrowing of Alternate Base Rate Loans. (b) Amount and Increments of Loans. Each Borrowing shall be made in a minimum aggregate amount of $1,000,000 (or, if less, Total Availability) or a higher integral multiple of $500,000. (c) Funding of Administrative Agent. Not later than 1:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the Funding Date of a Borrowing, each Lender shall provide the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office (or such other place as the Administrative Agent shall designate from time to time) with immediately available funds covering such Lender’s Percentage of such Borrowing and the Administrative Agent shall pay over such funds to the Lead Borrower upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of the documents, if any, required under Section 11 with respect to such Loan and provided all of the conditions precedent to the funding of the requested Loans have been satisfied. 2.5 Continuation and/or Conversion of Loans. The Lead Borrower may elect (i) to continue any outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loan from the current Interest Period of such Loan into a subsequent Interest Period to begin on the last day of such current Interest Period, or (ii) to
34 744308279 convert any outstanding Alternate Base Rate Loan into a Eurodollar Rate Loan or, on the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto, a Eurodollar Rate Loan into an Alternate Base Rate Loan, by giving the Administrative Agent a notice in the form required by Section 2.4. Absent notice of continuation or conversion, each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall automatically convert into an Alternate Base Rate Loan on the last day of the current Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Loan, unless paid in full on such last day. Each conversion or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be pro-rated among the applicable outstanding Loans of all Lenders. No portion of the outstanding principal of any Loans shall be converted into Eurodollar Rate Loans and no Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be continued into a subsequent Interest Period, less than two weeks before the scheduled Termination Date or at any time that an Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default shall exist. After giving effect to all Borrowings, conversions, and continuations of Loans, there shall not be more than ten (10) Interest Periods in effect with respect to Loans. 2.6 Maturity of Loans. Unless required to be sooner paid pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement, the Loans shall mature and be due and payable in full on the scheduled Termination Date. 2.7 Defaulting Lenders. (a) Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law: (i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’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 Lenders” and Section 15.2. (ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 12 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 6.4 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuer hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize such Issuer’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 5.8; fourth, as the Borrowers may request (so long as no Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize the Issuers’ future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in
35 744308279 accordance with Section 5.8; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuers or as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or the Issuer against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by a Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender 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 Loans or Disbursements in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 11.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and Disbursements owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or Disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Disbursements are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments hereunder without giving effect to Section 2.7(a)(iv). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.7(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto. (iii) Certain Fees. (A) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fee payable under Section 4.3 for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and neither Borrower shall be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender). (B) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive Letter of Credit Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Percentage of the Stated Amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 5.8. (C) With respect to any Letter of Credit Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (2) above, the Borrowers shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Outstandings that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to subsection (iv) below, (y) pay to the applicable Issuer the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Issuer’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.
36 744308279 (iv) Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Outstandings shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Credit Extensions of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment. Subject to Section 15.25, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation. (v) Cash Collateral. If the reallocation described in subsection (a)(iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under applicable law, Cash Collateralize the Issuers’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 5.8. (b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Lead Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and each Issuer agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative 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), such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Percentages (without giving effect to Section 2.7(a)(iv)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of either Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. SECTION 3. EVIDENCE OF LOANS. (a) The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to each Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of either Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Liabilities. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control
37 744308279 in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note or Notes which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note or Notes and endorse thereon the date, Type and amount of each of its Loans, the Interest Period therefor (if applicable) and payments with respect thereto. (b) In addition to the accounts and records referred to in subsection (a), each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. SECTION 4. INTEREST AND FEES. 4.1 Interest. Subject to Section 4.2, (a) Alternate Base Rate Loans. The unpaid principal of the Alternate Base Rate Loans shall bear interest prior to maturity at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the Alternate Base Rate in effect from time to time plus (ii) the Alternate Base Rate Margin in effect from time to time, payable on each Payment Date and at maturity. (b) Eurodollar Rate Loans. The unpaid principal of the Eurodollar Rate Loans shall bear interest prior to maturity at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the Eurodollar Rate (Reserve Adjusted) in effect for each applicable Interest Period plus (ii) the Eurodollar Margin in effect from time to time, payable on each Payment Date and at maturity. 4.2 Default Interest. The Borrowers shall pay interest on any amount of principal of any Loan which is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, after as well as before judgment, accruing from the date such amount shall have become due to the date of payment thereof in full at the Default Rate. While any other Event of Default exists, upon the request of the Majority Lenders, the Borrowers shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding Loans and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, all of their other Liabilities, at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate. 4.3 Non-use Fee. Each Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the pro rata benefit of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Percentages, a fee (the “Non-use Fee”) during the period from the Restatement Effective Date to the Termination Date in an amount equal to the Non-use Fee Rate per annum in effect from time to time on such Borrower’s daily actual Total Availability, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.7. The Non-use Fee shall be payable in arrears on each Payment Date and on the Termination Date for any period then ending for which the Non-use Fee shall not have been theretofore paid. 4.4 Letter of Credit Fees. Each Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the pro rata account of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Percentages, a fee for
38 744308279 each Letter of Credit (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for the period from the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit for the account such Borrower to the date upon which such Letter of Credit expires or is otherwise terminated, of (a) in the case of each Commercial Letter of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower, 0.75% per annum times the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit, and (b) in the case of each Standby Letter of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower, the LC Fee Rate per annum in effect from time to time times the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit. Such fee shall be payable by the Borrowers in arrears on each Payment Date and on the Termination Date (and thereafter on demand) for the period then ending for which such fee shall not theretofore have been paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, any Letter of Credit Fees otherwise payable for the account of a Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit as to which such Defaulting Lender has not provided Cash Collateral satisfactory to the applicable Issuer pursuant to Section 5.8 shall be payable, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, to the other Lenders in accordance with the upward adjustments in their respective Percentages allocable to such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.7(a)(iv), with the balance of such fee, if any, payable to such Issuer for its own account. 4.5 Fronting Fees. Each Borrower agrees to pay to the applicable Issuer a fronting fee for each Letter of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower by such Issuer at the times and in the amounts separately agreed to by such Borrower and such Issuer. 4.6 Fees. Each Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers, for their own respective accounts, such fees as may be mutually agreed upon from time to time by such parties. 4.7 Method of Calculating Interest and Fees. Interest on each Alternate Base Rate Loan bearing interest based on Bank of America’s prime rate and any fees payable under Section 4.3 shall be computed on the basis of a year consisting of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and paid for actual days elapsed, calculated as to each applicable period from the first day thereof to the last day thereof. All other interest and fees shall be computed on the basis of a year consisting of 360 days and paid for actual days elapsed, calculated as to each applicable period from the first day thereof to the last day thereof. SECTION 5. LETTERS OF CREDIT. 5.1 Issuance Requests. By delivering to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuer an Issuance Request on or before 3:00 p.m. each Borrower may request, from time to time prior to the Termination Date and on not less than three nor more than ten (10) Business Days’ notice, that such Issuer issue a Letter of Credit for the account of such Borrower; provided that the Letter of Credit Outstandings shall not at any time exceed $100,000,000. Such Issuance Request may be sent by facsimile, by United States mail, by overnight courier, by electronic transmission using the system provided by the Issuer, by personal delivery or by any other means acceptable to the Issuer. Upon receipt of an Issuance Request, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders thereof. Each Letter of Credit shall by its terms be stated to expire on a date (its “Stated Expiry Date”) no later than the earlier of 12 months from its date of issuance and fourteen (14) days prior to the scheduled Termination Date.
39 744308279 The Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrowers hereby agree, anything in any Issuance Request to the contrary notwithstanding, that any and all provisions of any Issuance Request purporting to grant a security interest in any asset of any Borrower are null and void, it being the intention of the parties that security for the Reimbursement Obligations in respect of any Letter of Credit shall be provided as described in Section 5.8 and pursuant to the documents described in Section 8.1. Notwithstanding the terms of any Issuance Request for a Commercial Letter of Credit, in no event may any Borrower extend the time for reimbursing any drawing under a Commercial Letter of Credit by obtaining a bankers’ acceptance from the relevant Issuer. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuance Request, the terms hereof shall control. 5.2 Issuances and Extensions. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including Section 11), each Issuer shall issue Letters of Credit in accordance with Issuance Requests made therefor; provided that no Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be issued under this Agreement unless the Issuer (other than Bank of America) notifies the Administrative Agent of the issuance of such Letter of Credit. (b) Each Issuer will make available the original of each Letter of Credit which it issues in accordance with the Issuance Request therefor (and will promptly provide the Administrative Agent with a copy of such Letter of Credit). (c) An Issuer shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if: (i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to such Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuer shall prohibit, or request that such Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Restatement Effective Date, or shall impose upon such Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Restatement Effective Date and which such Issuer in good ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ material to it; (ii) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such Issuer; (iii) such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars; (iv) such Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of the stated amount after any drawing thereunder;
40 744308279 (v) any Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender, unless such Issuer has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to such Issuer (in its sole discretion) with the Borrowers or such Defaulting Lender to eliminate such Issuer’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.7(a)(iv)) with respect to such Defaulting Lender arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or such Letter of Credit and all other Letter of Credit Outstandings as to which such Issuer has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion; (vi) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would cause the Letter of Credit Outstandings with respect to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuer to exceed such Issuer’s LC Commitment; or (vii) except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Issuer, the Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount less than $100,000, in the case of a Commercial Letter of Credit, or $500,000, in the case of a Standby Letter of Credit. (d) No Issuer shall amend any Letter of Credit if such Issuer would not be permitted at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof. (e) No Issuer shall be under any obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (i) such Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof or (ii) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit. (f) Each Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letter of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and each Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Administrative Agent in Section 13 with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuance Requests and applications pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Section 13 included such Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (ii) as additionally provided herein with respect to such Issuer. 5.3 Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to each Issuer. Each Borrower agrees to pay directly to the applicable Issuer for its own account all customary fees and standard costs and charges of such Issuer in connection with the issuance, maintenance, modification (if any) and administration of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuer for the account of such Borrower upon demand from time to time. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable. 5.4 Other Lenders’ Participation. Each Letter of Credit issued pursuant to Section 5.2 shall, effective upon its issuance and without further action, be issued on behalf of all Lenders (including the Issuer thereof) pro rata according to their respective Percentages. Each Lender shall, to the extent of its Percentage, be deemed irrevocably to have participated in the issuance of such
41 744308279 Letter of Credit and shall promptly pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuer thereof an amount equal to such Lender’s Percentage of the amount of any drawings which have not been reimbursed by the Borrowers, in accordance with Section 5.5, or which have been reimbursed by the Borrowers but must be returned or disgorged by such Issuer for any reason, and each Lender (unless such Lender is then a Defaulting Lender) shall, to the extent of its Percentage, be entitled to receive from the Administrative Agent a ratable portion of the Letter of Credit Fees received by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 4.4, with respect to each Letter of Credit. In the event that the Borrowers shall fail to reimburse any Issuer (through the Administrative Agent), or if for any reason Loans shall not be made to fund any Reimbursement Obligation, all as provided in Section 5.5 and in an amount equal to the amount of any drawing honored by such Issuer under a Letter of Credit issued by it, or in the event such Issuer must for any reason return or disgorge such reimbursement, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify such Issuer and each Lender of the unreimbursed amount of such drawing and of such Lender’s respective participation therein. Each Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Issuer, whether or not any Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default shall exist, an amount equal to such Lender’s respective participation in same day or immediately available funds at the office of the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day after the date notified by such Issuer. The Administrative Agent will promptly make available to the applicable Issuer any amounts received by it pursuant to the preceding sentence. In the event that any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent the amount of such Lender’s participation in such Letter of Credit as provided herein, such Issuer shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest at the daily average Federal Funds Rate for three (3) Business Days (together with such other compensatory amounts determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation) and thereafter at the Alternate Base Rate plus 2%. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed to prejudice the right of any Lender to recover from any Issuer any amounts made available by such Lender to such Issuer pursuant to this Section in the event that it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the applicable payment with respect to a Letter of Credit by such Issuer constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Issuer. Each Issuer shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender which has paid all amounts payable by it under this Section with respect to any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuer, such Lender’s Percentage of all payments received by such Issuer from the Borrowers, in reimbursement of drawings honored by such Issuer under such Letter of Credit when such payments are received. The Administrative Agent will promptly make available to the applicable Lenders any amounts received by it from an Issuer pursuant to the preceding sentence. Each Lender’s obligation to participate in Letters of Credit shall (a) continue notwithstanding termination of the Commitments until all Liabilities with respect to Letter of Credit Outstandings have been fully and finally paid and (b) be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against any Issuer, the Borrowers or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of an Event of Default or an Unmatured Event of Default or (iii) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that each Lender’s obligation to make Alternate Base Rate Loans pursuant to Section 5.5 is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 11.2 (other than delivery by a Borrower of a Loan Request).
42 744308279 5.5 Disbursements. Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the Issuer of such Letter of Credit will notify the Borrowers, and the Administrative Agent promptly of the presentment for payment of any Letter of Credit, or of any draft thereunder (any such payment, a “Disbursement”). If an Issuer shall make any Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrowers shall reimburse such Issuer in respect of such Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such Disbursement not later than 3:00 p.m. on (i) the Business Day that the Lead Borrower receives notice of such Disbursement, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day that the applicable Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time. To the extent the applicable Issuer is not reimbursed in full in accordance with the second sentence of this Section, the Borrowers’ Reimbursement Obligation shall accrue interest at the Default Rate, payable on demand. In the event the applicable Issuer is not reimbursed by the Borrowers on the Disbursement Date, or if such Issuer must for any reason return or disgorge such reimbursement, the Lenders shall, on the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, make Loans that are Alternate Base Rate Loans on the next Business Day in an aggregate amount equal to the Reimbursement Obligations as provided in Section 2.1 (the Lead Borrower being deemed to have given a timely Loan Request therefor for such amount); provided that, for the purpose of determining the availability of the Commitments immediately prior to giving effect to the application of the proceeds of such Loans, such Reimbursement Obligation shall be deemed not to be outstanding at such time. The proceeds of the Loans made pursuant to the preceding sentence will be turned over to the applicable Issuer in satisfaction of the Reimbursement Obligation. 5.6 Reimbursement Obligations Absolute. The Borrowers’ obligation (a “Reimbursement Obligation”) under Section 5.5 to reimburse an Issuer with respect to each Disbursement (including interest thereon) made under any Letter of Credit, and each other Lender’s obligation to make participation payments in each drawing which has not been reimbursed by such Borrower, shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances, including: (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (b) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), any Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction; (c) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;
43 744308279 (d) waiver by the Issuer of any requirement that exists for the Issuer’s protection and not the protection of a Borrower, or any waiver by the Issuer that does not in fact materially prejudice a Borrower; (e) honor of a demand for payment presented electronically even if such Letter of Credit requires that demand be in the form of a draft; (f) any payment made by the Issuer in respect of an otherwise complying item presented after the date specified as the expiration date of, or the date by which documents must be received under, such Letter of Credit if presentation after such date is authorized by the UCC, the ISP or the UCP, as applicable; (g) any payment by the applicable Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by such Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; or (h) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, a Borrower or any their respective Subsidiaries. Each Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with such Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, such Borrower will immediately notify the applicable Issuer. Each Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against such Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid. 5.7 Role of Issuers. Each Lender and the Borrowers agree that, in making any Disbursement under a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of any Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of any Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (a) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Majority Lenders, as applicable; (b) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (c) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit. Each Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit issued for such Borrower’s account; provided that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude such Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of any Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of any Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (a) through (h) of Section 5.6);
44 744308279 provided that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, a Borrower may have a claim against an Issuer, and such Issuer may be liable to a Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by such Borrower which such Borrower proves were caused by such Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or such Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, any Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and such Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity 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. The Issuer may send a Letter of Credit or conduct any communication to or from the beneficiary via the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (“SWIFT”) message or overnight courier, or any other commercially reasonable means of communicating with a beneficiary. 5.8 Deemed Disbursements; Cash Collateral. (a) Deemed Disbursements. During the existence of any Event of Default, an amount equal to that portion of Letter of Credit Outstandings attributable to outstanding and undrawn Letters of Credit issued for the account of the applicable Borrower shall, at the election of the Majority Lenders, and without demand upon or notice to such Borrower, be deemed to have been paid or disbursed by the applicable Issuer under such Letters of Credit (notwithstanding that such amount may not in fact have been so paid or disbursed), and, upon notification by such Issuer to the Administrative Agent and such Borrower of its obligations under this Section, such Borrower shall be immediately obligated to reimburse such Issuer the amount deemed to have been so paid or disbursed by such Issuer. Any amounts so received by such Issuer from a Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be turned over to the Administrative Agent and held as collateral security for the repayment of such Borrower’s obligations in connection with the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuer. At any time when such Letters of Credit shall terminate and all liabilities of each Issuer with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it are either terminated or paid or reimbursed to such Issuer in full, the Liabilities of such Borrower under this Section shall be reduced accordingly (subject, however, to reinstatement in the event any payment in respect of such Letters of Credit is recovered in any manner from such Issuer), and, provided that no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default, as applicable, exists, the Administrative Agent will return to the Borrowers the excess, if any, of (a) the aggregate amount deposited by the Borrowers with the Administrative Agent and not theretofore applied to any Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrowers over (b) the aggregate amount of all Reimbursement Obligations of the Borrowers over pursuant to this Section, as so adjusted. At such time when all Events of Default shall have been cured or waived, the Administrative Agent shall return to the Borrowers all amounts then on deposit with the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section. To the extent any amounts on deposit pursuant to this Section shall, until their application to any Reimbursement Obligation or their return to the Borrowers as the case may be, bear interest, such interest shall be held by the Administrative Agent as additional
45 744308279 collateral security for the repayment of the Borrowers’ Liabilities in connection with the Letters of Credit. (b) Cash Collateral and Defaulting Lender. If any Letter of Credit Outstandings with respect to either Borrower exist at the time a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Borrowers shall, within three (3) Business Days of delivery of written notice by the Administrative Agent, Cash Collateralize the amount of the Defaulting Lender’s Percentage of the Letter of Credit Outstandings. If the Borrowers are required to provide an amount of cash collateral pursuant to this Section 5.8(b), such cash collateral shall be released and promptly returned to such Borrower from time to time to the extent the amount deposited shall exceed the Defaulting Lender’s Percentage of the Letter of Credit Outstandings, or if such Lender ceases to be a Defaulting Lender. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the applicable Fronting Exposure and other obligations secured thereby, such Borrower or the relevant Defaulting Lender will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency. (c) Lien on Cash Collateral. This Agreement sets forth certain additional requirements to deliver Cash Collateral. Each Borrower hereby grants to Administrative Agent a security interest in all such cash, all deposit accounts into which such cash is deposited, all balances in such accounts and all proceeds of the foregoing. Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked, interest bearing deposit accounts with the Administrative Agent. (d) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section 5.8 or Sections 2.7, 5.2, 6.3, or 12.2 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific Letter of Credit Outstandings, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may be provided for herein. (e) Release. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or other obligations 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 Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with Section 15.8(a))) or (ii) the Administrative Agent’s good faith determination that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided, however, (x) that Cash Collateral furnished by the Borrowers shall not be released during the continuance of an Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default and (y) the Person providing Cash Collateral and the Issuer, as applicable, may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.
46 744308279 5.9 Nature of Reimbursement Obligations. Each Borrower shall assume all risks of the acts, omissions or misuse of any Letter of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower by the beneficiary thereof. None of the Administrative Agent, any Issuer or any Lender (except to the extent of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct) shall be responsible for: (a) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any Letter of Credit or any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of a Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (b) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect 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) failure of the beneficiary to comply fully with conditions required in order to demand payment under a Letter of Credit; (d) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, facsimile or otherwise; or (e) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document or draft required in order to make a Disbursement under a Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof. None of the foregoing shall affect, impair or prevent the vesting of any of the rights or powers granted the Administrative Agent any Issuer or any Lender hereunder. In furtherance and extension, and not in limitation or derogation, of the foregoing, any action taken or omitted to be taken by any Issuer in good faith shall be binding upon the Borrowers and shall not put such Issuer under any resulting liability to the Borrowers. 5.10 Increased Costs; Indemnity. If by reason of (a) any Change in Law, or (b) compliance by any Issuer or any Lender with any direction, request or requirement (whether or not having the force of law) of any governmental or monetary authority, including Regulation D of the FRB: (i) any Issuer or any Lender shall be subject to any Tax (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) other than in respect of Taxes on the overall net income of such Lender or Issuer that are imposed as a result of such Lender or Issuer having its principal office located in the jurisdiction imposing such Tax), levy, charge or withholding of any nature or to any variation thereof or to any penalty with respect to the maintenance or fulfillment of its obligations under this Section 5, whether directly or by such being imposed on or suffered by such Issuer or any Lender; (ii) any reserve, deposit or similar requirement is or shall be applicable, imposed or modified in respect of any Letter of Credit issued by any Issuer or participations therein purchased by any Lender; or
47 744308279 (iii) there shall be imposed on any Issuer or any Lender any other condition regarding this Section 5, any Letter of Credit or any participation therein; and the result of the foregoing is directly or indirectly to increase the cost to such Issuer of issuing, making or maintaining any Letter of Credit or the cost to such Lender of purchasing or maintaining any participation therein, or to reduce any amount receivable in respect thereof by such Issuer or such Lender, then and in any such case such Issuer or such Lender may, at any reasonable time after the additional cost is incurred or the amount received is reduced, notify the Borrowers thereof, and the Borrowers shall pay on demand such amounts as such Lender or each Issuer, may specify to be necessary to compensate such Issuer or Lender for such additional cost or reduced receipt. The determination by such Issuer or Lender, as the case may be, of any amount due pursuant to this Section, as set forth in a statement setting forth the calculation thereof in reasonable detail, shall, in the absence of manifest error, be final and presumptively valid and binding on all of the parties hereto. In addition to amounts payable as elsewhere provided in this Section 5, each Borrower hereby agrees, jointly and severally, to protect, indemnify, pay and save each Lender and each Issuer, harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and allocated costs of internal counsel) which such Issuer or such Lender may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (x) the issuance of any Letter of Credit, other than as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuer as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, or (y) the failure of such Issuer to honor a drawing under any Letter of Credit as a result of any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto government or Governmental Authority. 5.11 Applicability of ISP and UCP; Limitation of Liability. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable Issuer and the applicable Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), the ISP and the UCP at the time of issuance shall apply to each Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Issuer shall be responsible to either Borrower for, and no Issuer’s rights and remedies against such Borrower shall be impaired by, any action or inaction of an Issuer required or permitted under any law, order or practice that is required or permitted to be applied to any Letter of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower or this Agreement, including the law or any order of a jurisdiction where an Issuer or the beneficiary is located, the practice stated in the ISP or UCP, as applicable, or in the decisions, opinions, practice statements or official commentary of the ICC Banking Commission, the Bankers Association for Finance and Trade - International Financial Services Association (BAFT-IFSA) or the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice, whether or not any Letter of Credit chooses such law or practice. SECTION 6. PAYMENTS, OFFSETS, PREPAYMENTS AND REDUCTION OR TERMINATION OF THE COMMITMENTS; INCREASE IN COMMITMENTS. 6.1 Payments Generally. Except as otherwise specified in this Agreement, all payments hereunder (including payments with respect to the Loans) shall be made free and clear of and without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or set-off and shall be made in coin or currency of the United States which at the time of payment shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private debts in immediately available funds by the Borrowers to
48 744308279 the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, pro rata according to the unpaid principal amounts of the Loans held by them. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent, prior to 1:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the date due at the Administrative Agent’s Office or at such other place as may be designated by the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers in writing. Any payment received after 1:30 p.m. (New York City time) shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. The Administrative Agent shall promptly remit in immediately available funds to each Lender or the applicable Issuer, as the case may be, its share of all such payments received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender or such Issuer, as applicable. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or under any Note shall be stated to be due on a date other than a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of payment of interest or any fees. For purposes of the imposition of any tax (other than taxes on net income and franchises), levy, charge or withholding of any nature or any variation thereof or any penalty with respect to the maintenance or fulfillment of the Borrowers’ obligations under this Agreement, whether directly or by such being imposed on or suffered by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuer, all payments hereunder shall be made from sources within the United States by the Borrowers. Any payments or prepayments to be applied to the outstanding amount of any Loans shall be applied to the Loans held by the Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders ratably (based upon the outstanding amount of all Loans held by all Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders) until each Lender (including any Defaulting Lender) has its Percentage of all of the outstanding amount of the Loans, and the balance, if any, of such payments or prepayments shall be applied to the Loans of all Lenders in accordance with their respective Percentages. 6.2 Prepayments. (a) Mandatory. If at any time the Letter of Credit Outstandings plus the principal amount of Loans exceeds the Commitments, the Borrowers shall immediately make a mandatory prepayment to the Administrative Agent (which shall be applied (or held for application, as the case may be) by the Administrative Agent first to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans then outstanding and then to the payment or Cash Collateralization of the Letter of Credit Outstandings) in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess. (b) Optional. (i) General Prepayments. Each Borrower may from time to time (subject to the notice and minimum prepayment provisions set forth in this clause (i)), upon prior written or telephonic notice received by the Administrative Agent in a form acceptable to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly advise each Lender thereof) by 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least three (3) Business Days prior to any prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans and by 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) at least one (1) Business Day prior to any prepayment of Alternate Base Rate Loans, prepay the principal of the Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (x) any partial prepayment of principal pursuant to this clause (b)(i) shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 or any whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof and (y) any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period therefor shall be subject to Section
49 744308279 7.5. The applicable Borrower shall promptly confirm in writing any telephonic notice of prepayment in writing. (ii) Special Prepayments. Either Borrower may from time to time prepay any Loan pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.7. Any prepayment of the principal of the Loans pursuant to this clause (b)(ii) shall include accrued interest to the date of prepayment on the principal amount being prepaid. (c) Application. Any prepayment pursuant to Section 6.2(a) or 6.2(b) above shall be applied to such Loans as the applicable Borrower shall direct or, in the absence of such direction: first, to any Eurodollar Rate Loan with an Interest Period ending on the date of such prepayment, second, to any Alternate Base Rate Loans outstanding on such date, and third, to such other Loans as the Administrative Agent may reasonably determine. 6.3 Reduction or Termination of Commitments. (a) The Borrowers may from time to time, upon at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice received by the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly advise each Lender thereof), permanently reduce the Aggregate Commitment Amount to an amount that is not less than the sum of the Loans and Letter of Credit Outstandings and all other related Liabilities. Any such reduction shall be in an amount of $5,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of $1,000,000. The Borrowers may at any time on like notice terminate the Commitments upon payment in full of the outstanding Loans and all other related Liabilities and by replacing and surrendering all issued and outstanding Letters of Credit issued for the Borrowers’ account or, at the applicable Issuers’ option, providing Cash Collateral security for all Letter of Credit Outstandings in accordance with Section 5.8. (b) Any reduction of the Commitments pursuant to clause (a) above shall be applied to the applicable Commitment of each Lender according to its Percentage. 6.4 Offset. In addition to and not in limitation of all rights of offset that any Lender may have under applicable law, each Lender shall, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Section 12.1 or any Unmatured Event of Default described in Section 12.1(e) have the right to appropriate and apply to the payment of the Liabilities owing to it (whether or not due) any and all balances, credits, deposits, accounts or moneys of the Loan Parties then or thereafter with such Lender or any Affiliate thereof, and each such Affiliate is hereby irrevocably authorized to permit such setoff, provided that any such appropriation and application shall be subject to the provisions of Section 6.5; provided, further, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.7 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuers and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.
50 744308279 6.5 Proration of Payments. If any Lender shall obtain any payment or other recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, by application of offset or otherwise) on account of any Loan or Letter of Credit in excess of its pro rata share of payments and other recoveries obtained by all Lenders on account of all Loans and Letters of Credit (including after giving effect to the loss of any payment or recovery by any other Lender), such Lender shall purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans and/or Letters of Credit held by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment or other recovery pro rata with each of them; provided that if all or any portion of the excess payment or other recovery is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest unless the Lender from which such payment is recovered is required to pay interest thereon, in which case each Lender which is required to restore such purchase price shall pay its pro rata share of such interest. The Borrowers agree that any Lender so purchasing a participation from the other Lenders under this Section 6.5 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off pursuant to Section 6.4) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrowers in the amount of such participation. If under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this Section applies, such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Lenders entitled under this Section to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim. 6.6 [Reserved]. 6.7 Increase in the Aggregate Commitment Amount. (a) The Borrowers may at any time (but not more than twice in any calendar quarter), by means of a letter to the Administrative Agent, request that the Aggregate Commitment Amount be increased (a “Commitment Increase”) as of the date specified in such letter (the “Increase Date”) by (i) increasing the Commitment of any Lender (an “Increasing Lender”) that has agreed to such increase (it being understood that no Lender shall have any obligation to increase its Commitment pursuant to this Section 6.7) and/or (ii) adding one or more Eligible Assignees (each an “Additional Lender”) as parties hereto, in each case with a Commitment in the amount agreed to by such Additional Lender; provided that (A) the aggregate amount of all such Commitment Increases shall not exceed $500,000,000 during the term of this Agreement plus, after the aggregate amount of Commitment Increases is equal to $500,000,000, such additional amount that would not cause the Total Debt Ratio to exceed 2.50 to 1.00 after giving pro forma effect to such Commitment Increase as though such Commitment Increase were fully drawn as of the date of calculation, (B) each Commitment Increase shall be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000, and (C) the Commitment of each Additional Lender shall be $10,000,000 or more. (b) On each Increase Date, (x) each applicable Additional Lender shall become a party to this Agreement with the rights and obligations of a “Lender” hereunder and (y) the Commitment of each applicable Increasing Lender shall be increased by the amount agreed by such Increasing Lender; provided that:
51 744308279 (i) on such Increase Date, the following statements shall be true and the Administrative Agent shall have received for the account of each Lender a certificate signed by an Authorized Officer of each Borrower, dated such Increase Date stating that: (A) the representations and warranties contained in Section 9 are true and correct on and as of such Increase Date, before and after giving effect to the Commitment Increase, as though made on and as of such Increase Date, (B) no material adverse change has occurred since the date of the financial statements most-recently delivered pursuant to Section 10.1(a) and (C) no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default exists; (ii) on or before such Increase Date, the Administrative Agent shall have received the following, each dated such Increase Date, for further distribution to each Lender (including each Additional Lender): (A) certified copies of resolutions of the board of directors of each Borrower approving the Commitment Increase and any corresponding modifications to this Agreement; (B) such other approvals or documents as any Lender through the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in connection with such Commitment Increase; (C) a joinder agreement from each Additional Lender, if any, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent; and (D) written confirmation from each Increasing Lender of the increase in the amount of its Commitment hereunder, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent. On each Increase Date, upon fulfillment of the conditions set forth in this Section 6.7(b), the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders (including each Additional Lender) and the Lead Borrower of the occurrence of the Commitment Increase to be effected on such Increase Date and shall record in the Register the relevant information with respect to each Increasing Lender and each Additional Lender on such date. Each Increasing Lender and each Additional Lender shall, before 1:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the Increase Date, make available for the account of its applicable lending office to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office, in same day funds, an aggregate amount to be distributed to the other Lenders for the account of their respective applicable lending offices such that, after giving effect to such distribution, each Lender has a ratable share (calculated based on its Commitment as a percentage of the Aggregate Commitment Amount after giving effect to such Commitment Increase) of each outstanding Borrowing. Each Borrower acknowledges that, in order to maintain Borrowings in accordance with each Lender’s ratable share thereof, a reallocation of the Commitments as a result of a non- pro-rata increase in the aggregate Commitments may require prepayment of all or portions of certain Borrowings on the date of such increase (and any such prepayment shall be subject to the provisions of Section 7.5). SECTION 7. ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS RELATING TO EURODOLLAR RATE LOANS; CAPITAL ADEQUACY; TAXES. 7.1 Increased Cost. If, as a result of any Change in Law: (a) any tax is imposed on any Lender or Issuer or the basis of taxation of payments to any Lender of the principal of or interest on any Eurodollar Rate Loan is
52 744308279 changed ((A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) other than in respect of Taxes on the overall net income of such Lender or Issuer that are imposed as a result of such Lender or Issuer having its principal office located in the jurisdiction imposing such Tax); (b) any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirements against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender are imposed, modified or deemed applicable; or (c) any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or any Eurodollar Rate Loan is imposed on any Lender or the interbank eurodollar markets; and such Lender determines that, solely by reason thereof, the cost to such Lender of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) is increased, or the amount of any sum receivable by such Lender hereunder in respect of any of the Loans (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) is reduced, then the Borrowers shall pay to such affected Lender upon written demand (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for the calculation thereof but only to the extent not theretofore provided to the Borrowers) such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional cost or reduction (provided such amount has not been compensated for in the calculation of the Eurocurrency Reserve Percentage). Determinations by a Lender for purposes of this Section of the additional amounts required to compensate such Lender in respect of the foregoing shall be final and presumptively valid and binding on all of the parties hereto, absent manifest error. 7.2 Deposits Unavailable or Interest Rate Unascertainable. (a) If prior to the first day of an Interest Period for a Eurodollar Rate Loan the Majority Lenders determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto) that (i) Dollar deposits, of the relevant amount for the relevant Interest Period, are not available to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market (“Impacted Loans”), (ii) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate applicable to such Interest Period or (iii) the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to such Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Lead Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Majority Lenders) revokes such notice, and any notice of new or continued Eurodollar Rate Loans previously given by the Borrowers and not yet borrowed, converted or continued shall be deemed a notice to make, convert into or continue Alternate Base Rate Loans. (b) Notwithstanding Section 7.2(a), if the Majority Lenders have made the determination described in clause (i) of Section 7.2(a), the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Lead Borrower and the Majority Lenders, may establish an alternative interest rate for the Impacted Loans, in which case such alternative rate of interest shall apply with respect to the Impacted Loans until (1) the Majority Lenders revoke the notice
53 744308279 delivered with respect to the Impacted Loans under clause (i) of the first sentence of Section 7.2(a), (2) the Administrative Agent or the Majority Lenders notify the Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower that such alternative interest rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding the Impacted Loans, or (3) any Lender determines that any law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Loans with an interest rate determined by reference to such alternative rate of interest or to determine or charge interest rates based upon such rate or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to do any of the foregoing and provides the Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower written notice thereof. (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document: (i) On March 5, 2021 the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”), the regulatory supervisor of LIBOR’s administrator (“IBA”), announced in a public statement the future cessation or loss of representativeness of overnight/Spot Next, 1-week, 1-month, 2-month, 3-month, 6-month and 12- month U.S. dollar LIBOR tenor settings. On the earliest of (A) the date that all Available Tenors of U.S dollar LIBOR have permanently or indefinitely ceased to be provided by IBA or have been announced by the FCA pursuant to public statement or publication of information to be no longer representative, (B) June 30, 2023 and (C) the Early Opt-in Effective Date in respect of a SOFR Early Opt-in, if the then-current Benchmark is LIBOR, the Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any setting of such Benchmark on such day and all subsequent settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. If the Benchmark Replacement is Daily Simple SOFR, all interest payments will be payable on a quarterly basis; or (ii) (x) Upon (A) the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or (B) a determination by the Administrative Agent that neither of the alternatives under clause (a) of the definition of Benchmark Replacement are available, the Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Majority Lenders (and any such objection shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error); provided that solely in the event that the then-current Benchmark at the time of such Benchmark Transition Event is not a SOFR-based rate, the Benchmark Replacement therefor shall be determined in accordance with clause (a) of the definition of Benchmark Replacement unless the Administrative Agent determines that neither of such alternative rates is available.
54 744308279 (y) On the Early Opt-in Effective Date in respect of an Other Rate Early Opt-in, the Benchmark Replacement will replace LIBOR for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any setting of such Benchmark on such day and all subsequent settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. (iii) At any time that the administrator of the then-current Benchmark has permanently or indefinitely ceased to provide such Benchmark or such Benchmark has been announced by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark pursuant to public statement or publication of information to be no longer representative of the underlying market and economic reality that such Benchmark is intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored, the Lead Borrower may revoke any request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Loans to be made, converted or continued that would bear interest by reference to such Benchmark until the Lead Borrower’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced such Benchmark, and, failing that, the Lead Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Alternate Base Rate Loans. During the period referenced in the foregoing sentence, the component of Alternate Base Rate based upon the Benchmark will not be used in any determination of Alternate Base Rate. (iv) In connection with the implementation and administration of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement. (v) The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (A) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (B) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and (C) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (vi) below. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 7.2, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 7.2. (vi) At any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (A) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR or LIBOR), then the Administrative Agent may remove any tenor of such Benchmark that is unavailable or non-representative for Benchmark
55 744308279 (including Benchmark Replacement) settings and (B) the Administrative Agent may reinstate any such previously removed tenor for Benchmark (including Benchmark Replacement) settings. 7.3 Changes in Law Rendering Eurodollar Rate Loans Unlawful. If at any time due to any new law, treaty or regulation, or any change of any existing law, treaty or regulation, or any interpretation thereof by any governmental or other regulatory authority charged with the administration thereof, or for any other reason arising subsequent to the date hereof, it is unlawful for any Lender to perform its obligations hereunder or to make, maintain or fund, or charge interest with respect to any Credit Extension or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then the obligation of such Lender to issue, make, fund or charge interest with respect to any Credit Extension or provide Eurodollar Rate Loans shall, upon the happening of such event, forthwith be suspended for the duration of such illegality. Upon receipt of such notice, each Borrower shall, if required by such law, regulation or interpretation, on such date as shall be specified in such notice, either convert its affected Eurodollar Rate Loans to Alternate Base Rate Loans or prepay such Eurodollar Rate Loans (and all Eurodollar Rate Loans of all other Lenders which have the same Interest Period). 7.4 Capital Adequacy. If any Lender or any Issuer shall determine at any time after the date hereof that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or Issuer or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s or such Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such Issuer’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such Issuer’s holding company as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuer or any holding company of such Lender or such Issuer could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuer’s policies, and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuer’s holding company, with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender or such Issuer to be material, then the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender or such Issuer upon demand such amount or amounts, in addition to the amounts payable under the other provisions of this Agreement or under any other Loan Document, as will compensate such Lender or such Issuer or any holding company of such Lender or such Issuer for such reduction. Any such demand by any Lender or any Issuer hereunder shall be in writing, and shall set forth the reasons for such demand and copies of all documentation reasonably relevant in support thereof. Determinations by any Lender or any Issuer for purposes of this Section 7.4 of the additional amount or amounts required to compensate such Lender or such Issuer in respect of the foregoing shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount or amounts, any Lender or any Issuer may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. 7.5 Indemnity. The Borrowers shall jointly and severally indemnify each Lender against any loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur, including any loss or expense sustained or incurred in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits or other funds acquired to effect, fund or maintain a Loan, due to (a) any failure by a Borrower to make any payment when due of any amount due hereunder in connection with a Eurodollar Rate Loan, (b) any failure of a Borrower to borrow on a date specified therefor in a notice thereof, (c) any payment or prepayment (including any prepayment pursuant to Section 7.3 or 7.7) of any Eurodollar Rate Loan on a date
56 744308279 other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan, (d) any failure of a Borrower to continue a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a date specified in a notice of continuation or to convert an Alternate Base Rate Loan to a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a date specified in a notice of conversion or (e) any assignment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by a Borrower pursuant to Section 7.7. Upon the written notice of a Lender to the Lead Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrowers shall, within five (5) days of its receipt thereof, pay directly to such Lender such amount as will (in the reasonable determination of such Lender) reimburse such Lender for such loss or expense. Such written notice (which shall include calculations in reasonable detail) shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers. 7.6 Discretion of the Lenders as to Manner of Funding. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, each Lender shall be entitled to fund and maintain its funding of all or any part of its Eurodollar Rate Loans in any manner it elects, it being understood, however, that for the purposes of this Agreement all determinations hereunder shall be made as if all Lenders had actually funded and maintained each Eurodollar Rate Loan through the purchase of Dollar deposits having a maturity corresponding to the maturity of the applicable Eurodollar Rate Loan and bearing an interest rate equal to the Eurodollar Rate (whether or not, in any instance, any Lender shall have granted any participations in such Loan). Any Lender may, if it so elects, fulfill any commitment to make any Eurodollar Rate Loan by causing a foreign branch or Affiliate to make or continue such Eurodollar Rate Loan, provided that in such event such Loan shall be deemed for the purposes of this Agreement to have been made by such Lender, and the obligation of the Borrowers to repay such Loan shall nevertheless be to such Lender and shall be deemed held by such Lender, to the extent of such Loan, for the account of such branch or Affiliate. 7.7 Special Prepayment; Replacement of Lender. If any Lender makes any demand for payment of any amount pursuant to Section 5.10, 7.1, 7.4 or 7.8, gives any notice pursuant to Section 7.2 or 7.3 or is a Defaulting Lender (any such Lender, an “Affected Lender”), then the Borrowers may, with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, either (i) reduce or terminate the Commitments of such Affected Lender and immediately prepay the applicable outstanding Liabilities owed to such Affected Lender (or all outstanding Liabilities owed to such Affected Lender in the case of a termination) so that, after giving effect to such prepayment, such Affected Lender has a pro rata share (based on its revised Percentage after giving effect to such reduction) of the outstanding Loans, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and/or (ii) cause such Affected Lender to assign its Commitments, its Loans, its participations in Letters of Credit and its interest in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to one or more other Eligible Assignees (any such assignee, together with all Lenders other than such Affected Lender, the “Remaining Lenders”) selected by the Borrowers and acceptable to the Administrative Agent. Any assignment made pursuant to clause (ii) above shall be in accordance with Section 15.8 (but without giving effect to any provision of such Section which restricts the minimum or maximum amount which is permitted to be assigned). If any reduction or termination of any Affected Lender’s Commitment is made pursuant to clause (i) above, then (A) the Aggregate Commitment Amount shall be reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the Commitment so reduced or terminated, and (B) each Remaining Lender’s (and, in the case of a reduction, such Affected Lender’s) share or percentage of the Aggregate Commitment Amount, as so reduced, shall be deemed proportionately adjusted;
57 744308279 it being understood that the amount of any Lender’s Commitment (as opposed to any Lender’s share or percentage of the Aggregate Commitment Amount) shall not at any time be increased without the consent of such Lender. 7.8 Loan Related Taxes. (a) Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 7.8, the term “Lender” includes any Issuer. (b) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of either Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of the Administrative Agent or the Borrowers) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by the Administrative Agent or the Borrowers, then the Administrative Agent or the Borrowers, shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrowers shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 7.8) the applicable recipient of such payment receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. (c) Payment of Other Taxes by Borrowers. Each Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes. (d) Indemnification by Borrowers. The Borrowers shall jointly and severally indemnify each recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes applicable to any Borrower (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 7.8) payable or paid by such recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Lead Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. (e) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that no Borrower has already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of each Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 15.9 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and
58 744308279 any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (e). (f) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by a Borrower to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 7.8, such Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by laws to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. (g) Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to a Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by a Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by a Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by a Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable such Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 7.8(g)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. (ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that a Borrower is a U.S. Person: (A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to such Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of such Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;
59 744308279 (B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to such Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of such Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: (2) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN, as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN, as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty; (3) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI; (4) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of a Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN, as applicable); or (5) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W- 8BEN, as applicable), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 or Exhibit F-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; (C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to such Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of a Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal with-holding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit such Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and (D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail
60 744308279 to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to a Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by a Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for such Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. (iii) Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 7.8 expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify such Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. (h) Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by applicable laws, at no time shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender. If any recipient determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Borrower or with respect to which a Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 7.8, it shall pay to such Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Borrower under this Section 7.8 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) incurred by such recipient, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that such Borrower, upon the request of the recipient, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the recipient in the event the recipient is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this clause (h), in no event will the applicable recipient be required to pay any amount to a Borrower pursuant to this clause (h) the payment of which would place the recipient in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such recipient would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to require any recipient to available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to a Borrower or any other Person. (i) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 7 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender or Issuer, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Liabilities.
61 744308279 7.9 Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 7.1, or any Borrower is or will be required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or Issuer or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or Issuer pursuant to Section 7.8, then such Lender or such Issuer shall (at the request of the Borrowers) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender or such Issuer, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 7.1 or Section 7.8, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender or such Issuer, as the case may be, to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or such Issuer, as the case may be. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or any Issuer in connection with any such designation or assignment. SECTION 8. GUARANTY. 8.1 Guaranty. The Guarantor hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to the Administrative Agent the full and prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, upon acceleration, demand or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of the Liabilities and the punctual performance of all of the terms contained in the documents executed by a Borrower in favor of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the Liabilities. The agreement of the Guarantor herein is a guaranty of payment and performance and not merely as a guaranty of collection. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Liabilities shall include any such indebtedness, obligations and liabilities which may be or hereafter become unenforceable or shall be an allowed or disallowed claim under any proceeding or case commenced by or against Guarantor or a Borrower under any Debtor Relief Law, and shall include interest that accrues after the commencement by or against any of the Borrowers of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws, in connection with this Agreement (including all renewals, extensions, amendments, refinancings and other modifications thereof and all attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the collection or enforcement thereof in accordance with Section 8.10 hereof). 8.2 No Setoff or Deductions; Taxes; Payments. Guarantor shall make all payments hereunder without setoff or counterclaim and free and clear of and without deduction for any taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, withholdings, compulsory loans, restrictions or conditions of any nature now or hereafter imposed or levied by any jurisdiction or any political subdivision thereof or taxing or other authority therein unless the Guarantor is compelled by law to make such deduction or withholding. If any such obligation (other than one arising with respect to taxes based on or measured by the income or profits of the Lenders) is imposed upon Guarantor with respect to any amount payable by it hereunder, Guarantor will pay to each Lender, on the date on which such amount is due and payable hereunder, such additional amount in U.S. dollars as shall be necessary to enable such Lender to receive the same net amount which such Lender would have received on such due date had no such obligation been imposed upon Guarantor. Guarantor will deliver promptly to the Administrative Agent certificates or other valid vouchers for all taxes or other charges deducted from or paid with respect to payments made by Guarantor hereunder. The obligations of Guarantor under this paragraph shall survive the payment in full of the Liabilities and termination of this Agreement.
62 744308279 8.3 Rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. Guarantor consents and agrees that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may, at any time and from time to time, without notice or demand, and without affecting the enforceability or continuing effectiveness hereof: (a) amend, extend, renew, compromise, discharge, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment or the terms of the Liabilities or any part thereof; (b) take, hold, exchange, enforce, waive, release, fail to perfect, sell, or otherwise dispose of any security for the payment of this Agreement or any Liabilities; and (c) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion may determine. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Guarantor consents to the taking of, or failure to take, any action which might in any manner or to any extent vary the risks of Guarantor under this Agreement or which, but for this provision, might operate as a discharge of Guarantor. 8.4 Certain Waivers. The Guarantor waives to the fullest extent permitted by law (a) any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of any Borrower or the cessation from any cause whatsoever (including any act or omission of any Lender or the Administrative Agent) of the liability of any Borrower; (b) any defense based on any claim that Guarantor’s obligations exceed or are more burdensome than those of any Borrower; (c) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting Guarantor’s liability hereunder; (d) any right to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to proceed against any Borrower, proceed against or exhaust any security for the Liabilities, or pursue any other remedy in the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s power whatsoever and any defense based upon the doctrines of marshalling of assets or of election of remedies; (e) any benefit of and any right to participate in any security now or hereafter held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender; (f) any fact or circumstance related to the Liabilities which might otherwise constitute a defense to the obligations of Guarantor under this Agreement; and (g) to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all other defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by applicable law limiting the liability of or exonerating guarantors or sureties, other than the defense that the Liabilities have been fully performed, and the Liabilities and any other amounts payable under this Agreement, have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash. Guarantor expressly waives all setoffs and counterclaims and all presentments, demands for payment or performance, notices of nonpayment or nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and all other notices or demands of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the Liabilities, and all notices of acceptance of this guaranty or of the existence, creation or incurrence of new or additional Liabilities. The guaranty of the Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Liabilities or any instrument or agreement evidencing any Liabilities, or by the existence, validity, enforceability, perfection, non-perfection or extent of any collateral therefor, or by any fact or circumstance relating to the Liabilities which might otherwise constitute a defense to the obligations of Guarantor under this guaranty, and Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to any or all of the foregoing. 8.5 Obligations Independent. The obligations of Guarantor hereunder are those of primary obligor, and not merely as surety, and a separate action may be brought against Guarantor to enforce this guaranty whether or not any Borrower or any other person or entity is joined as a party.
63 744308279 8.6 Subrogation. Guarantor shall not exercise any right of subrogation, contribution, indemnity, reimbursement or similar rights with respect to any payments it makes under this guaranty until all of the Liabilities and any amounts payable under this Agreement have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full and any commitments of the Lenders or facilities provided by the Lenders with respect to the Liabilities are terminated. If any amounts are paid to Guarantor in violation of the foregoing limitation, then such amounts shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Lenders and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent to reduce the amount of the Liabilities, whether matured or unmatured. 8.7 Termination; Reinstatement. This guaranty is a continuing and irrevocable guaranty of all Liabilities now or hereafter existing and shall remain in full force and effect until all Liabilities and any other amounts payable under this Agreement are indefeasibly paid in full in cash and any commitments of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any of them or facilities provided by the Lenders or any of them with respect to the Liabilities are terminated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 8 shall continue in full force and effect or be revived, as the case may be, if any payment by or on behalf of any Borrower or Guarantor is made, or the Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, in respect of the Liabilities and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws or otherwise, all as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred and whether or not the Administrative Agent or such Lender is in possession of or has released this guaranty and regardless of any prior revocation, rescission, termination or reduction. The obligations of Guarantor under this paragraph shall survive termination of this Agreement. 8.8 Subordination. Guarantor hereby subordinates the payment of all obligations and indebtedness of any Borrower owing to Guarantor, whether now existing or hereafter arising, including but not limited to any obligation of any Borrower to Guarantor as subrogee of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders or resulting from Guarantor’s performance under this Section 8, to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all Liabilities. If the Administrative Agent so requests while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any such obligation or indebtedness of any Borrower to Guarantor shall be enforced and performance received by Guarantor as trustee for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and the proceeds thereof shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent on account of the Liabilities, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of Guarantor under this Section 8. 8.9 Stay of Acceleration. In the event that acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Liabilities is stayed, in connection with any case commenced by or against any Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Laws, or otherwise, all such amounts shall nonetheless be payable by Guarantor immediately upon demand by the Administrative Agent. 8.10 Miscellaneous. The Administrative Agent’s and each Lender’s books and records showing the amount of the Liabilities shall be admissible in evidence in any action or proceeding, and shall be binding upon Guarantor and conclusive, absent manifest error for the purpose of establishing the amount of the Liabilities. No failure by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy or power hereunder shall operate as a
64 744308279 waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy or power hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law or in equity. The unenforceability or invalidity of any provision of this guaranty shall not affect the enforceability or validity of any other provision herein. 8.11 Condition of Borrowers. Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that it has the sole responsibility for, and has adequate means of, obtaining from each Borrower such information concerning the financial condition, business and operations of each Borrower as Guarantor requires, and that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have no duty, and Guarantor is not relying on the Administrative Agent or any Lender at any time, to disclose to Guarantor any information relating to the business, operations or financial condition of any Borrower (the Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to disclose such information and any defense relating to the failure to provide the same).

The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: (a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether an Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; (b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; (c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Loan Parties or any of their Related Parties that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity; (d) shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 15.2 and 12.2) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. The Administrative Agent
84 744308279 shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default is given to the Administrative Agent in writing by a Loan Party, a Lender or an Issuer; and (e) shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 11 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. (f) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions of this Agreement relating to Disqualified Persons. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not (x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a Disqualified Person or (y) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans, or disclosure of confidential information, to any Disqualified Person. 13.4 Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with a Borrower or any Subsidiary of a Borrower or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. 13.5 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuer, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or such Issuer unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such
85 744308279 Lender or such Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for a Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. 13.6 Resignation of Administrative Agent. (a) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuers and the Lead Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Majority Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Lead Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Majority Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuers, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that in no event shall any such successor Administrative Agent be a Defaulting Lender. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date. (b) If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Majority Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Lead Borrower and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, in consultation with the Lead Borrower, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Majority Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date. (c) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (1) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (2) except for any indemnity payments or other amounts then owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and each Issuer directly, until such time, if any, as the Majority Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or removed) Administrative Agent (other than as provided in Section 2.7 and other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent as of the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date, as applicable), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After the
86 744308279 retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Section and Section 15.5 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them (i) while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent and (ii) after such resignation or removal for as long as any of them continues to act in any capacity hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, including in respect of any actions taken in connection with transferring the agency to any successor Administrative Agent. (d) Any resignation by Bank of America as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as Issuer. If Bank of America resigns as Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of an Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as an Issuer and all Letter of Credit Outstandings with respect thereto, including the right to require the Lenders to make Alternate Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in unpaid and outstanding Reimbursement Obligations pursuant to Sections 5.4 and 5.5. Upon the appointment of a successor Issuer hereunder, (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuer, (ii) the retiring Issuer shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (iii) the successor Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to Bank of America to effectively assume the obligations of Bank of America with respect to such Letters of Credit. 13.7 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Section shall apply to any such sub agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agent except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agent. 13.8 No other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Joint Lead Arrangers, Book Runner, Syndication Agent or Documentation Agent listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender or an Issuer hereunder. 13.9 Funding Reliance.
87 744308279 (a) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Alternate Base Rate Loans, prior to 1:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.4(c) (or, in the case of a Borrowing of Alternate Base Rate Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.4(c)) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrowers to the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to Alternate Base Rate Loans. If the Borrowers and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Lead Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrowers for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by a Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim such Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent. (b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Lead Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuers hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuers, as the case may be, the amount due. With respect to any payment that the Administrative Agent makes for the account of the Lenders or the Issuer hereunder as to which the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive if made in good faith and absent manifest error) that any of the following applies (such payment referred to as the “Rescindable Amount”): (1) the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment; (2) the Administrative Agent has made a payment in excess of the amount so paid by the Borrowers (whether or not then owed); or (3) the Administrative Agent has for any reason otherwise erroneously made such payment; then each of the Lenders or the Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount so distributed to such Lender or such Issuer, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to it to the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
88 744308279 (c) A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or any Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this Section 13.9 shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. 13.10 Administrative Agent may File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or other judicial proceeding relative to a Loan Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on such Loan Party) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, Reimbursement Obligations and all other Liabilities that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuers and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Issuers and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the Issuers and the Administrative Agent under Sections 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6 and 15.5) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and each Issuer to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the Issuers, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 4.5, 4.6 and 15.5. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or any Issuer any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Liabilities or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding. 13.11 Guaranty Matters. Each of the Lenders and the Issuers irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to take the actions with respect to the guaranty by the Guarantor as are set forth in Section 8 of this Agreement. Upon approval by the Majority Lenders, the Administrative Agent may release the Guarantor from its obligations under Section 8. In each case as specified in this Section 13.11, the Administrative Agent will, at the Loan Parties’ expense, execute and deliver to the Lead Borrower such documents as may reasonably be requested to evidence the release of the Guarantor from its obligations under Section 8, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 13.11.
89 744308279 13.12 Certain ERISA Matters. (a) Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Loan Parties, that at least one of the following is and will be true: (i) such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise) of one or more Benefit Plans with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments, or this Agreement, (ii) the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments, and this Agreement, (iii) (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments, and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub- sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments, and this Agreement, or (iv) such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender. (b) In addition, unless either (1) sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or (2) a Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender
90 744308279 party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of any Borrower, that the Administrative Agent is not a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments, and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto). 13.13 Recovery of Erroneous Payments. Without limitation of any other provision in this Agreement, if at any time the Administrative Agent makes a payment hereunder in error to any Lender or Issuer, whether or not in respect of any Liabilities due and owing by a Borrower at such time, where such payment is a Rescindable Amount, then in any such event, each Lender or Issuer, as applicable, receiving a Rescindable Amount severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount received by such Lender or Issuer, as applicable, in immediately available funds in the currency so received, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such Rescindable Amount is received by it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. Each Lender and Issuer irrevocably waives any and all defenses, including any “discharge for value” (under which a creditor might otherwise claim a right to retain funds mistakenly paid by a third party in respect of a debt owed by another) or similar defense to its obligation to return any Rescindable Amount. The Administrative Agent shall inform each Lender or Issuer promptly upon determining that any payment made to such Lender or Issuer comprised, in whole or in part, a Rescindable Amount. SECTION 14. RESTATEMENT OF EXISTING CREDIT AGREEMENT. 14.1 Restatement; Reallocation.

The Administrative Agent, the Issuers and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic notices, Loan Requests, and Issuance Requests) purportedly given by or on behalf of a Loan Party even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. Each Loan Party shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Issuer, each Lender and the Related Parties of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of such Loan Party. All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording. 15.4 USA Patriot Act Notice.

95 744308279 (a) The Borrowers agree that they shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented out of pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of in-house counsel, provided such fees and expenses are set forth in reasonable and appropriate detail) and of local counsel, if any, who may be retained by such counsel), in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable and documented out of pocket expenses incurred by each Issuer in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder, (iii) all reasonable and documented out of pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuer (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuer (including reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of in-house counsel of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuer, provided such fees, charges and disbursements are set forth in reasonable and appropriate detail)) in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or (B) in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out of pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit, and (iv) any civil penalty or fine assessed by OFAC against, and all reasonable costs and expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements) incurred in connection with defense thereof, by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of conduct of a Borrower that violates a sanction enforced by OFAC. (b) The Borrowers agree that they shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any subagent thereof), each Lender, each Issuer and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person, an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee (including the reasonable and documented fees and time charges and disbursements for in- house counsel to such Indemnitee, provided such fees and time charges are set forth in reasonable detail)), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any Person (including a Borrower but excluding such Indemnitee and its Related Parties) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby (including, without limitation the Indemnitee’s reliance on any Communication executed using an Electronic Signature, or in the form of an Electronic Record) the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or, in the case of the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and its Related Parties only, the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by any Issuer to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms
96 744308279 of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any liability under any Environmental Law related in any way to a Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by a Borrower, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought by a Borrower against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if a Borrower has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. This Section 15.5 shall not apply with respect to any Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim. (c) To the extent that a Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under clause (a) or (b) above to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), any Issuer or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), such Issuer or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought based on each Lender’s Percentage at such time) of such unpaid amount (including any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such Lender), provided, that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or any Issuer in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or any Issuer in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause (c) are several and not joint. (d) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no party hereto shall assert, and each party hereto hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in clause (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. (e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable on demand. (f) The agreements in this Section and the indemnity provisions in Section 15.3(d) shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent and Bank of America in its capacity as an Issuer, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the
97 744308279 Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 15.6 Governing Law; Entire Agreement. THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. All obligations of the Loan Parties and rights of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent expressed herein, in the Notes or in any other Loan Document shall be in addition to and not in limitation of those provided by applicable law. This Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede any prior agreements, written or oral, with respect thereto. 15.7 Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Loan Party shall assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender; and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 15.8, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 15.10, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 15.11 (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 15.10 and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 15.8 Assignments by Lenders. (a) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans (including participations in Letters of Credit) at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions: (i) (A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, no minimum amount need be assigned; and (B) in any case not described in clause (i)(A) of this Section 15.8, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if the “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date), shall not be less than $10,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Lead Borrower, otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);
98 744308279 (ii) [reserved]; (iii) no consent shall be required for any assignment except for the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Issuers (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to the extent that such assignment is to a Person other than another Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, and the consent of the Lead Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, provided that the Lead Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within fifteen (15) Business Days after having received notice thereof; (iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500, provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire; (v) no such assignment shall be made (A) to a Borrower or any Affiliate of or Subsidiary of a Borrower or (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B); and (vi) no such assignment shall be made to a natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated by or for the primary benefit of a natural Person). Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (b) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 7.1, 7.5, 7.8 and 15.5 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender having been a Defaulting Lender. If requested by the assignee Lender, each Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with clause (c) below.
99 744308279 (b) Disqualified Persons. (i) No assignment or participation shall be made to, and no portion of any Commitment Increase shall be provided by, any Person that was a Disqualified Person as of the date (the “Trade Date”) on which the assigning Lender entered into a binding agreement to sell and assign or participate all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to such Person or the applicable Increase Date, as the case may be (unless the Borrowers in their sole and absolute discretion have consented, in writing, to such assignment or the portion of the Commitment Increase to be provided by such Disqualified Person, in which case such Person will not be considered a Disqualified Person for the purpose of such assignment, participation or Commitment Increase). For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any assignee or participant or Lender that provides any portion of a Commitment Increase that becomes a Disqualified Person after the applicable Trade Date (including as a result of the delivery of a notice pursuant to, and/or the expiration of the notice period referred to in, the definition of “Disqualified Person”), (x) such assignee or Lender shall not retroactively be disqualified from becoming a Lender or participant and (y) the execution by the Borrowers of an Assignment and Assumption or Joinder Agreement with respect to such assignee will not by itself result in such assignee no longer being considered a Disqualified Person. Any assignment or Commitment Increase in violation of this clause (b)(i) shall not be void, but the other provisions of this clause (b)(i) shall apply. (ii) If any assignment or participation is made to, or any portion of a Commitment Increase is provided by, any Disqualified Person without the Borrowers’ prior written consent in violation of clause (i) above, or if any Person becomes a Disqualified Person after the applicable Trade Date, the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Person and the Administrative Agent, (A) terminate the Commitment of such Disqualified Person and repay all obligations of the Borrowers owing to such Disqualified Person in connection with such Commitment and/or (B) require such Disqualified Person to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 15.8), all of its interest, rights and obligations under this Agreement and related Loan Documents to one or more Eligible Assignees that shall assume such obligations at the lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Person paid to acquire such interests, rights and obligations, in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder and the other Loan Documents; provided that (i) the Administrative Agent shall have been paid the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 15.8(a)(iv) and (ii) such assignment does not conflict with applicable laws. (iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Disqualified Persons (A) will not (x) have the right to receive information, reports or other materials provided to Lenders by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, (y) attend or participate in meetings attended by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, or (z) access any electronic
100 744308279 site established for the Lenders or confidential communications from counsel to or financial advisors of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders and (B) (x) for purposes of any consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of, or any action under, and for the purpose of any direction to the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, each Disqualified Person will be deemed to have consented in the same proportion as the Lenders that are not Disqualified Persons consented to such matter, and (y) for purposes of voting on any plan of reorganization or plan of liquidation pursuant to any Debtor Relief Laws (“Plan of Reorganization”), each Disqualified Person party hereto hereby agrees (1) not to vote on such Plan of Reorganization, (2) if such Disqualified Person does vote on such Plan of Reorganization notwithstanding the restriction in the foregoing clause (1), such vote will be deemed not to be in good faith and shall be “designated” pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws), and such vote shall not be counted in determining whether the applicable class has accepted or rejected such Plan of Reorganization in accordance with Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws) and (3) not to contest any request by any party for a determination by the Bankruptcy Court (or other applicable court of competent jurisdiction) effectuating the foregoing clause (2). (iv) The Administrative Agent shall have the right, and the Borrowers hereby expressly authorizes the Administrative Agent, to (A) post the list of Disqualified Persons provided by the Borrowers and any updates thereto from time to time (collectively, the “DQ List”) on the Platform, including that portion of the Platform that is designated for “public side” Lenders or (B) provide the DQ List to each Lender requesting the same. (c) Assignment by Bank of America. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Bank of America assigns all of its Commitments and Loans pursuant to clause (a) above, Bank of America may, upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Lead Borrower and the Lenders, resign as an Issuer. In the event of any such resignation as an Issuer, and if there are no other Issuers at the time of such resignation, the Lead Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders willing to serve in such capacity a successor Issuer hereunder; provided that no failure by the Lead Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Bank of America as an Issuer. If Bank of America resigns as an Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of an Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit issued by it that are outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as an Issuer and all Reimbursement Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Loans that are Alternate Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 5.4). Upon the appointment of a successor Issuer, (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuer, as the case may be, and (ii) the successor Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, issued by Bank of America that are outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to Bank
101 744308279 of America to effectively assume the obligations of Bank of America with respect to such Letters of Credit. (d) Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, any Issuer or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit in accordance with its Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs. 15.9 Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers (and such agency being solely for Tax purposes), shall maintain a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it (or the equivalent thereof in electronic form) and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans and Letter of Credit Outstandings owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 15.10 Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than to (w) a natural Person, or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of a natural Person, (x) a Defaulting Lender, (y) or a Borrower or any Affiliate or Subsidiary of a Borrower or (z) a Disqualified Person) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in Letter of Credit Outstandings) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) such Participant shall be bound by Section 15.20, and (iv) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuers shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under
102 744308279 this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 15.5 without regard to the existence of any participation. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree (other than as is already provided for herein) to any amendment, modification, or waiver with respect to Sections 15.2(a)(i) or 15.2(a)(iii) which affects such Participant. The Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 7.1, 7.5 and 7.8 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 15.8; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 7.7 and 7.9 as if it were an assignee under Section 15.8 and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 7.1 or 7.8, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrowers’ request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrowers to effectuate the provisions of Sections 7.7 and 7.9 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 6.4 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 6.5 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 4f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. 15.11 Certain Pledges; Successors and Assigns Generally. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, the European Central Bank or any other applicable central bank or Governmental Authority; provided, that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 15.12 Survival. The obligations of the Borrowers under Sections 7 and 15.5, and the obligations of the Lenders under Section 15.5(c), shall in each case survive any termination of this
103 744308279 Agreement, the payment in full of all Liabilities and the termination of all Commitments. The representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in this Agreement and in each other Loan Document shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and each such other Loan Document. 15.13 Effect of Amendment and Restatement. (a) This Agreement is an amendment and restatement of the terms and provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement and, upon the effectiveness hereof, all obligations of the Borrowers under the Existing Credit Agreement shall become obligations of the Borrowers hereunder, and the provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement shall be superseded by the provisions hereof. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement by any Loan Party or any Lender, nor any of the terms or provisions contained herein, shall be construed to be a novation of, or payment on or with respect to, the Indebtedness outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement. (b) Upon the Restatement Effective Date, the Commitment (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) of each Lender (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) that does not have a Commitment set forth on Schedule I hereto shall be terminated, and each such Lender (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) shall be released from any obligations as a Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (provided for the avoidance of doubt that any obligations of any such lender under the Existing Credit Agreement which by their express terms are deemed to survive any such release or termination shall survive). When counterparts executed by all the parties shall have been lodged with the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of any Lender as to which an executed counterpart shall not have been so lodged, the Administrative Agent shall have received facsimile or other written confirmation from such Lender) and all of the conditions set forth in Section 11 shall have been satisfied, this Agreement shall become effective as of the date hereof, and at such time the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lead Borrower and each Lender. (c) The Loan Parties, the Lenders that are party to the Existing Credit Agreement and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent under the Existing Credit Agreement, acknowledge and agree that upon the effectiveness of this Agreement on the Restatement Effective Date, the Existing Credit Agreement shall be superseded by this Agreement, and shall terminate and be of no further force or effect (except that any provision thereof which by its terms survives termination thereof shall continue in full force and effect for the benefit of the applicable party or parties), all without any other action by any Person. 15.14 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in
104 744308279 any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 15.14, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provision in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by any Debtor Relief Law, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent or an Issuer, as applicable, then such provision shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited. 15.15 Execution in Counterparts, Effectiveness, Etc. This Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall constitute together but one and the same Agreement. Delivery of a counterpart hereof, or a signature page hereto, by facsimile or in a .pdf or similar file shall be effective as delivery of a manually-executed original counterpart hereof. 15.16 Investment. Each Lender represents and warrants that: (a) it is acquiring any Note to be issued to it hereunder for its own account as a result of making a loan in the ordinary course of its commercial banking business and not with a view to the public distribution or sale thereof, nor with any present intention of selling or distributing such Note, but subject, nevertheless, to possible assignments or participations thereof pursuant to Section 15.8 and to any legal or administrative requirement that the disposition of such Lender’s property at all times be within its control, and (b) in good faith it has not and will not rely upon any margin stock (as such term is defined in Regulation U of the FRB) as collateral in the making and maintaining of its Loans. 15.17 Other Transactions. Nothing contained herein shall preclude the Administrative Agent or any other Lender from engaging in any transaction, in addition to those contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, with either Borrower or any of their respective Affiliates in which such Borrower or such Affiliate is not restricted hereby from engaging with any other Person. 15.18 Forum Selection and Consent to Jurisdiction. ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY ISSUER, ANY LENDER OR THE LOAN PARTIES SHALL BE BROUGHT AND MAINTAINED EXCLUSIVELY IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK. EACH BORROWER HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK FOR THE PURPOSE OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION AS SET FORTH ABOVE AND IRREVOCABLY AGREES TO BE BOUND BY ANY JUDGMENT RENDERED THEREBY IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH LITIGATION. EACH LOAN PARTY FURTHER IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS BY REGISTERED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, OR BY PERSONAL SERVICE WITHIN OR WITHOUT THE STATE OF NEW YORK. EACH LOAN PARTY HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT REFERRED TO ABOVE AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH LITIGATION HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN
105 744308279 INCONVENIENT FORUM. TO THE EXTENT THAT A LOAN PARTY HAS OR HEREAFTER MAY ACQUIRE ANY IMMUNITY FROM JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT OR FROM ANY LEGAL PROCESS (WHETHER THROUGH SERVICE OR NOTICE, ATTACHMENT PRIOR TO JUDGMENT, ATTACHMENT IN AID OF EXECUTION OR OTHERWISE) WITH RESPECT TO ITSELF OR ITS PROPERTY, SUCH LOAN PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES SUCH IMMUNITY IN RESPECT OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. 15.19 Waiver of Jury Trial. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE ISSUERS, THE LENDERS AND EACH LOAN PARTY HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHTS THEY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE ISSUERS, THE LENDERS OR A LOAN PARTY. EACH LOAN PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT IT HAS RECEIVED FULL AND SUFFICIENT CONSIDERATION FOR THIS PROVISION (AND EACH OTHER PROVISION OF EACH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT TO WHICH IT IS A PARTY) AND THAT THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE ISSUERS AND THE LENDERS ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT. 15.20 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuer agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates, its auditors and to its and its Affiliates’ Related Parties (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent required or requested by any governmental regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it and its Related Parties (including any self- regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its Related Parties) to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the applicable Borrower and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder, (g) on a confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating a Borrower or its Subsidiaries or the credit facilities provided hereunder or (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers or other market identifiers with respect to the credit facilities provided hereunder, (h) with the consent of the Lead Borrower or (i) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than a Loan Party. In addition, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of
106 744308279 this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and the Commitments. For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information of a non-public, confidential and proprietary nature received from a Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries relating to such Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuer on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by such Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. The Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuers acknowledge that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning a Loan Party or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non- public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable law, including Federal and state securities laws. 15.21 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrowers. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the obligations hereunder. 15.22 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of a Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent, any Issuer or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent, any Issuer or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent, such Issuer or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender and each Issuer severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.
107 744308279 The obligations of the Lenders and the Issuers under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Liabilities and the termination of this Agreement. 15.23 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers and the Lenders are arm’s-length commercial transactions between such Loan Party and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers and the Lenders, on the other hand, (B) such Loan Party has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) such Loan Party is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) each of the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers and the Lenders is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for such Loan Party or any of its Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) none of the Administrative Agent, any Joint Lead Arranger nor any Lender has any obligation to such Loan Party or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers, and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of such Loan Party and its Affiliates, and none of the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers or any Lender has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to such Loan Party or its Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Loan Party hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers and each of the Lenders with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby. 15.24 Electronic Execution of Assignments and Certain Other Documents. This Agreement, any other Loan Document (including any Note) and any other Communication, including Communications required to be in writing, may be in the form of an Electronic Record and may be executed using Electronic Signatures. The Loan Parties and each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and Issuer agrees that any Electronic Signature on or associated with any Communication shall be valid and binding on such Person to the same extent as a manual, original signature, and that any Communication entered into by Electronic Signature, will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Person enforceable against such Person in accordance with the terms thereof to the same extent as if a manually executed original signature was delivered. Any Communication may be executed in as many counterparts as necessary or convenient, including both paper and electronic counterparts, but all such counterparts are one and the same Communication. For the avoidance of doubt, the authorization under this paragraph may include, without limitation, use or acceptance of a manually signed paper Communication which has been converted into electronic form (such as scanned into PDF format), or an electronically signed Communication converted into another format, for transmission, delivery and/or retention. The Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders and Issuers may, at its option, create one or more copies of any Communication in the form of an imaged Electronic Record (“Electronic Copy”), which shall be deemed created in the ordinary course of such Person’s
108 744308279 business, and destroy the original paper document. All Communications in the form of an Electronic Record, including an Electronic Copy, shall be considered an original for all purposes, and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, neither the Loan Parties nor the Administrative Agent or any Lender or Issuer is under any obligation to accept an Electronic Signature in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by such Person pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided, further, without limiting the foregoing, (a) to the extent the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent or any Lender or Issuer has agreed to accept such Electronic Signature, the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders and Issuers shall be entitled to rely on any such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower and/or any Lender or Issuer without further verification and (b) upon the request of any of the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent or any Lender or Issuer, any Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by such manually executed counterpart. Neither the Loan Parties nor the Administrative Agent or Issuer shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into the sufficiency, validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with the Administrative Agent’s or Issuer’s reliance on any Electronic Signature transmitted by telecopy, emailed .pdf or any other electronic means). The Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and Issuer shall be entitled to rely on, and shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon, any Communication (which writing may be a fax, any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution or signed using an Electronic Signature) or any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and each Lender and Issuer hereby waives (i) any argument, defense or right to contest the legal effect, validity or enforceability of this Agreement and any other Loan Document based solely on the lack of paper original copies of this Agreement or such other Loan Document, and (ii) waives any claim against the Administrative Agent, each Lender or Issuer and each Related Party for any liabilities arising solely from the Administrative Agent’s and/or any Lender’s or Issuer’s reliance on or use of Electronic Signatures, including any liabilities arising as a result of the failure of the Loan Parties to use any available security measures in connection with the execution, delivery or transmission of any Electronic Signature, in each case, in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. 15.25 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any the parties hereto, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Lender that is an Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by, (a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder that may be payable to it by any Lender that is an Affected Financial Institution; and (b) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable (i) a reduction in full or in part or
109 744308279 cancellation of any such liability; (ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or (iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority. 15.26 Acknowledgment Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any Interest Rate Agreement or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”, and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States): (a) In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support. (b) As used in this Section 15.26, the following terms have the following meanings: “BHC Act Affiliate” means, with respect to any Person an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such Person.
110 744308279 “Covered Entity” means any of the following: (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b). “Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable. “QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).
