indefinitely; provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide the applicable Eurocurrency Rate or Daily Simple RFR; or

Section 1.04 Accounting Terms; GAAP. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature shall be construed in accordance with GAAP, as in effect from time to time; provided that, if Holdings notifies the Administrative Agent that Holdings requests an amendment to any provision hereof to eliminate the effect of any change occurring after the Closing Date in GAAP or in the application thereof on the operation of such provision (or if the Administrative Agent notifies Holdings that the Required Lenders request an amendment to any provision hereof for such purpose), regardless of whether any such notice is given before or after such change in GAAP or in the application thereof, then such provision shall be interpreted on the basis of GAAP as in effect and applied immediately before such change shall have become effective until such notice shall have been withdrawn or such provision amended in accordance herewith. At any time after the Closing Date, Holdings may elect (by written notice to the Administrative Agent) to change its financial reporting (both hereunder and for its audited financial statements generally) from GAAP to International Financial Reporting Standards (as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and the International Financial Reporting Standards Interpretations Committee and/or adopted by the European Union (“IFRS”)), as in effect from time to time, in which case all references herein to GAAP (except for historical financial statements theretofore prepared in accordance with GAAP) shall instead be deemed references to the IFRS and the related accounting standards as shown in the first set of audited financial statements prepared in accordance therewith and delivered pursuant to this Agreement; provided that, if Holdings notifies the Administrative Agent that Holdings requests an amendment to any provision hereof to eliminate the effect of any change occurring as a result of the adoption of IFRS or in the application thereof on the operation of such provision (or if the Administrative Agent notifies Holdings that the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders request an amendment to any provision hereof for such purpose), then such provision shall be interpreted on the basis of GAAP as otherwise required above (and without regard to this sentence) until such notice shall have been withdrawn or such provision amended in accordance herewith; provided further that, if, after the adoption of IFRS by Holdings, Holdings notifies the Administrative Agent that Holdings requests an amendment to any provision hereof to eliminate the effect of any change in IFRS occurring after such adoption of IFRS or in the application thereof on the operation of such provision (or if the Administrative Agent notifies Holdings that the Required Lenders request an amendment to any provision hereof for such purpose), regardless of whether any such notice is given before or after such change in IFRS or in

Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein shall be construed, and all computations of amounts and ratios referred to herein shall be made (i) without giving effect to any election under Accounting Standards Codification 825-10-25 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any Indebtedness or other liabilities of Holdings or any Subsidiary at “fair value”, as defined therein, (ii) without giving effect to any treatment of Indebtedness in respect of convertible debt instruments under Accounting Standards Codification 470-20 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any such Indebtedness in a reduced or bifurcated manner as described therein, and such Indebtedness shall at all times be valued at the full stated principal amount thereof and (iii) for the avoidance of doubt, except as provided in the definition of “Consolidated Net Income”, without giving effect to the financial condition, results and performance of the Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

Section 1.07 Certain Conditions, Calculations and Tests.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, financial ratios and tests, including the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, the Secured Net Leverage Ratio, the Total Net Leverage Ratio, the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and the determination of any basket or covenant based on Consolidated EBITDA or Total Assets shall be calculated in the manner prescribed by this Section 1.07; provided, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in clause (b) of this Section 1.07, when calculating the Secured Net Leverage Ratio, the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio and the Total Net Leverage Ratio, each as applicable, for purposes of (i) the definition of “Applicable Margin”, (ii) the definition of “ECF Payment Amount” and (iii) Section 6.12 (other than for the purpose of determining pro forma compliance with Section 6.12), the events described in this Section 1.07 that occurred subsequent to the end of the applicable Test Period shall not be given Pro Forma Effect. In addition, whenever a financial ratio or test or determination of Consolidated EBITDA or Total Assets is to be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis, the reference to “Test Period” for purposes of calculating such financial ratio or test or determination of Consolidated EBITDA or Total Assets shall be deemed to be a reference to, and shall be based on, the most recently ended Test Period for which internal financial statements of Holdings are available (as determined in good faith by Holdings). For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the foregoing sentence shall not apply for purposes of calculating the Secured Net Leverage Ratio, the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio or the Total Net Leverage Ratio, each as applicable, for purposes of (i) the definition of “ECF Payment Amount” and (ii) Section 6.12 (other than for the purpose of determining pro forma compliance with Section 6.12), each of which shall be based on the financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or (b), as applicable, for the relevant Test Period.
(b) For purposes of calculating any financial ratio or test (or Consolidated EBITDA or Total Assets), Specified Transactions (with any incurrence or repayment of any Indebtedness in connection therewith to be subject to clause (d) of this Section 1.07) that have been made (i) during the applicable Test Period or (ii) if applicable as described in clause (a) above, subsequent to such Test Period and prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio or test (or Consolidated EBITDA or Total Assets) is made shall be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis assuming that all such Specified Transactions (and any increase or decrease in Consolidated EBITDA and the component financial definitions used therein attributable to any Specified Transaction) had occurred on the first day of the applicable Test Period (or, in the case of Consolidated EBITDA or Total Assets, on the last day of the applicable Test Period). If since the beginning of any applicable Test Period any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged, amalgamated or consolidated with or into Holdings or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries since the beginning of such Test Period shall have

made any Specified Transaction that would have required adjustment pursuant to this Section 1.07, then such financial ratio or test (or Consolidated EBITDA or Total Assets) shall be calculated to give Pro Forma Effect thereto in accordance with this Section 1.07.
(c) Whenever Pro Forma Effect is to be given to a Specified Transaction, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of Holdings and may include, for the avoidance of doubt, the amount of Run-rate cost savings, synergies and operating expense reductions projected by Holdings to be realized as a result of any Specified Transaction (including the Transactions) which is being given Pro Forma Effect that have been realized or are expected to be realized and for which the actions necessary to realize such cost savings, operating expense reductions and synergies are taken, committed to be taken or with respect to which substantial steps have been taken or are expected in good faith to be taken (calculated on a Pro Forma Basis as though such cost savings, operating expense reductions and synergies had been realized on the first day of such period and as if such cost savings, operating expense reductions and synergies were realized during the entirety of such period and net of the amount of actual benefits realized during such period from such actions, and any such adjustments shall be included in the initial pro forma calculations of such financial ratios or tests and during any subsequent Test Period in which the effects thereof are expected to be realized) relating to such Specified Transaction; provided that (A) such amounts are reasonably identifiable and factually supportable in the good faith judgment of Holdings, (B) the aggregate amount of cost savings, synergies and operating expense reductions, when aggregated with the addbacks being made for such Test Period pursuant to clause (vii) of the definition of Consolidated EBITDA, shall not exceed the cap set forth therein, (C) any cost savings, synergies and operating expense reductions included pursuant to this Section 1.08(c) shall be subject to the other limitations set forth in clause (vii) of the definition of Consolidated EBITDA and (D) no amounts shall be added to the extent duplicative of any amounts that are otherwise added back in computing Consolidated EBITDA (or any other components thereof), whether through a pro forma adjustment or otherwise, with respect to such period.
(d) In the event that (w) Holdings or any Restricted Subsidiary incurs (including by assumption or guarantees) or repays (including by redemption, repayment, retirement or extinguishment) any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness incurred or repaid under any revolving credit facility (including, without limitation, the Revolving Loans) in the ordinary course of business for working capital purposes), (x) Holdings or any Restricted Subsidiary issues, repurchases or redeems Disqualified Equity Interests or (y) any Restricted Subsidiary issues, repurchases or redeems Preferred Equity, (i) during the applicable Test Period or (ii) if applicable as described in clause (a) above, subsequent to the end of the applicable Test Period and prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio is made, then such financial ratio or test shall be calculated giving Pro Forma Effect to such incurrence or repayment of Indebtedness, or such issuance or redemption of Disqualified Equity Interests or Preferred Equity, in each case to the extent required, as if the same had occurred on the last day of the applicable Test Period (except in the case of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (or similar ratio), in which case such incurrence, assumption, guarantee, redemption, repayment, retirement or extinguishment of Indebtedness or such issuance, repurchase or redemption of Disqualified Equity Interests or Preferred Equity will be given effect, as if the same had occurred on the first day of the applicable Test Period).

(e) If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given Pro Forma Effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the date of the event for which the calculation of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is made had been the applicable margin for the entire period (taking into account any interest hedging arrangements applicable to such Indebtedness). Interest on a Capital Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a Responsible Officer of Holdings to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capital Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP. For purposes of the computation above, interest on any Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility computed on a Pro Forma Basis shall be computed on the average daily balances of such Indebtedness during the applicable period. Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a Eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rate, shall be determined to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as Holdings or Restricted Subsidiary may designate.
(f) Solely for purposes of determining (i) compliance on a Pro Forma Basis with any provision of this Agreement that requires the calculation of the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, Secured Net Leverage Ratio, Total Net Leverage Ratio, Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, Total Assets or Consolidated EBITDA or (ii) whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in each case in connection with any determination as to whether a Limited Condition Transaction or any Indebtedness and Liens to be incurred in connection with such Limited Condition Transaction is permitted to be consummated, the date of determination of whether such Limited Condition Transaction or any Indebtedness and Liens to be incurred in connection with such Limited Condition Transaction is permitted hereunder shall, at the option of Holdings, be the date on which the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Transaction are entered into or the date such irrevocable notice or offer for such Limited Condition Transaction is delivered, as applicable (the “LCT Test Date”) (provided that Holdings exercise such option by delivering to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer on or prior to the LCT Test Date), with such determination to give Pro Forma Effect to such Limited Condition Transaction and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness or Liens and the use of proceeds thereof) as if they had occurred at the beginning of the most recent Test Period ending prior to the LCT Test Date. For the avoidance of doubt, (x) if Holdings has exercised such option and any of the tests, ratios, baskets or amounts for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCT Test Date are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in any such test, ratio, basket or amount, including due to fluctuations in Total Assets or Consolidated EBITDA or total assets of Holdings or the Person subject to such Limited Condition Transaction, at or prior to the consummation of the Limited Condition Transaction, such test, ratios, baskets and amounts will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations solely for purposes of determining whether the Limited Condition Transaction is permitted to be consummated and (y) if any Default or Event of Default occurs following the LCT Test Date and prior to the consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such Default or Event of Default shall be deemed not to have occurred or be continuing for purposes of determining whether any action being taken in connection with such Limited Condition Transaction is permitted. If Holdings has exercised such option for any Limited Condition Transaction, then, in connection with any subsequent calculation of such test, ratios, baskets or amounts on or following the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of (i) the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated and (ii) the date that

the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Transaction are terminated or expire without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such test, ratio basket or basket shall be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and the other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness or Liens and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated; provided that if Holdings elects to have such determinations occur at the time of entry into such definitive agreement or the date such irrevocable notice or offer for such Limited Condition Transaction is delivered, as applicable, any indebtedness to be incurred (and any associated lien) shall be deemed incurred at the time of such election (until such time as the indebtedness is actually incurred or the applicable acquisition agreement is terminated without actually consummating the applicable acquisition) and outstanding thereafter for purposes of pro forma compliance with any applicable financial test.
(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, with respect to any amounts incurred or transactions (or series of transactions) entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision within the same covenant of this Agreement that does not require compliance with a financial ratio or test (any such amounts, the “Fixed Amounts”) substantially concurrently or in a series of related transactions with any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision within the same covenant of this Agreement that requires compliance with any such financial ratio or test (including any First Lien Net Leverage Ratio test, any Secured Net Leverage Ratio, any Total Net Leverage Ratio, any Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio or the amount of Consolidated EBITDA) (any such amounts, the “Incurrence-Based Amounts”), it is understood and agreed that (a) the Fixed Amounts under such covenant shall be disregarded in the calculation of the financial ratio or test applicable to any substantially concurrent utilization of the Incurrence-Based Amounts and (b) the entire transaction (or series of related transactions) shall be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis (including the use of proceeds of all Indebtedness to be incurred and any repayments, repurchases and redemptions of Indebtedness; provided that, for purposes of such calculations, Unrestricted Cash shall not include the cash proceeds of any Indebtedness the incurrence of which is the specified transaction or that is incurred to finance the specified transaction). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time any applicable ratio or financial test for any category based on an Incurrence-Based Amount permits Indebtedness, Liens, Restricted Payments, Asset Sales, and Investments, as applicable, previously incurred under a category based on a Fixed Amount, such Indebtedness, Liens, Restricted Payments, Asset Sales, and Investments, as applicable, shall be deemed to have been automatically reclassified as incurred under such category based on an Incurrence-Based Amount.
Section 1.08 Divisions. For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person, and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Equity Interests at such time.

If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurocurrency Borrowing, USD Term SOFR Borrowing or RFR Borrowing, then the Applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section 2.03, the Administrative Agent shall advise each applicable Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.
Section 2.04 Determination of Dollar Amounts. The Administrative Agent will determine the Dollar Amount of:
(a) each Revolving Borrowing utilizing Revolving Commitments as of the date two (2) Business Days prior to the date of such Borrowing or, if applicable, the date of conversion/continuation of any such Borrowing as a Revolving Borrowing,
(b) the LC Exposure as of the date of each request for the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit, and
(c) all outstanding Revolving Credit Exposure on and as of the last Business Day of each calendar month and, during the continuation of an Event of Default, on any other Business Day elected by the Administrative Agent in its discretion or upon instruction by the Required Lenders.
Each day upon or as of which the Administrative Agent determines Dollar Amounts as described in the preceding clauses (a), (b) and (c) is herein described as a “Computation Date” with respect to each Credit Event for which a Dollar Amount is determined on or as of such day.
Section 2.05 Swingline Loans.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans in Dollars to the Applicable Borrower from time to time during the Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding $100,000,000 or (ii) the Dollar Amount of the total Revolving Credit Exposures exceeding the aggregate Revolving Commitments; provided that the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Applicable Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans.
(b) To request a Swingline Loan, the Applicable Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (confirmed by telecopy), not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day of a proposed Swingline Loan. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of the requested Swingline Loan. The Administrative Agent will promptly advise the Swingline Lender of any such notice received from the Applicable Borrower. The Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to the Applicable Borrower by means of a credit to the

general deposit account of such Applicable Borrower with the Swingline Lender (or, in the case of a Swingline Loan made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.06(e), by remittance to the applicable Issuing Banks) by 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the requested date of such Swingline Loan.
(c) The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Business Day require the Revolving Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which Revolving Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each Revolving Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s Revolving Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Percentage (after giving effect to the reallocation provisions of paragraph (d) below) of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph in an amount equal to its Revolving Percentage thereof is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Revolving Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Applicable Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from an Applicable Borrower (or other party on behalf of such Applicable Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Revolving Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the Swingline Lender or to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the Applicable Borrower for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Applicable Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.
(d) Reallocations and Extensions. If the Maturity Date shall have occurred in respect of any Class of Revolving Commitments at a time when another Tranche or Tranches of any other Class of Revolving Commitments is or are in effect with a longer Maturity Date, then on the earliest occurring Maturity Date all then-outstanding Swingline Loans shall be repaid in full (and there shall be no adjustment to the participations in such Swingline Loans as a result of the occurrence of such earliest Maturity Date); provided, however, that if on the occurrence of

such earliest Maturity Date (after giving effect to any repayments of Revolving Loans and any reallocation of Letter of Credit participations as contemplated in Section 2.06(k)), there shall remain obligations to fund Swingline Loans hereunder and there shall exist sufficient unutilized Revolving Commitments of any other Class or Classes or Extended Revolving Commitments so that the respective outstanding Swingline Loans could be incurred pursuant to such Revolving Commitments of such other Class or Classes or Extended Revolving Commitments which will remain in effect after the occurrence of such earliest Maturity Date, then there shall be an automatic adjustment on such date of the risk participations of each Revolving Lender holding Revolving Commitments of such other Class or Classes or that is an Extending Revolving Lender and such outstanding Swingline Loans shall be deemed to have been incurred solely pursuant to the relevant Revolving Commitments of such other Class or Classes or Extended Revolving Commitments and such Swingline Loans shall not be so required to be repaid in full on such earliest Maturity Date.
Section 2.06 Letters of Credit.
(a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Applicable Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of Credit denominated in Agreed Currencies, in each case for its own account (or for the account of any Restricted Subsidiary), in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Applicable Borrower to, or entered into by the Applicable Borrower with, the applicable Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.
(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit from an Issuing Bank), the Applicable Borrower shall email or telecopy (or transmit by any other electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by such Issuing Bank) to such Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of, but not less than three (3) Business Days prior to, the requested date of issuance (or such shorter period as such Issuing Bank may agree), amendment, renewal or extension and which, in the case of a Letter of Credit to be issued on the Closing Date, may be conditioned on the occurrence of the Closing Date) a notice in the applicable Issuing Bank’s customary form requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section 2.06), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the Agreed Currency applicable thereto), the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. The Applicable Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing Bank’s standard form and related documents in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit and in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed, modified or extended. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only (A) if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Applicable

Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) subject to Section 2.04, the Dollar Amount of the LC Exposure shall not exceed $15,000,000 (the “LC Sublimit”) and (ii) subject to Section 2.04, the sum of the Dollar Amount of the total Revolving Credit Exposures shall not exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments; provided that the LC Sublimit may be increased from time to time upon agreement between the Administrative Agent and Borrowers, so long as any increase has been appropriately committed by a Lender (that is or shall be an Issuing Bank), on terms and conditions satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and (B) in accordance with such Issuing Bank’s usual and customary policies and practices from time to time; provided, further, that the Dollar Amount of the LC Exposure in respect of each Issuing Bank may not be increased or decreased without the applicable Issuing Bank’s consent.
(c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date with respect to the Revolving Commitments pursuant to which issued (or if any Extended Revolving Commitments, Incremental Revolving Commitments or Other Refinancing Revolving Commitments are outstanding, the last Maturity Date applicable thereto (so long as the aggregate amount of such Letters of Credit are not in excess of such commitments)); provided that any Letter of Credit may contain customary automatic renewal provisions agreed upon by the Applicable Borrower and the Issuing Bank pursuant to which the expiration date of such Letter of Credit (an “Auto Renewal Letter of Credit”) shall automatically be extended for consecutive periods of up to twelve (12) months (but not to a date later than the date set forth in clause (ii) above); provided that any such Auto Renewal Letter of Credit must permit the applicable Issuing Bank to prevent any such renewal at least once in each twelve month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day in each such twelve month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by such Issuing Bank, the Applicable Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to such Issuing Bank for any such renewal. Once an Auto Renewal Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) such Issuing Bank to permit the renewal of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than such Maturity Date.
(d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of any Issuing Bank or any Revolving Lender in respect of the Tranche under which such Letter of Credit is issued (each such Revolving Lender, an “Applicable Lender”), the Issuing Banks hereby grant to each Applicable Lender, and each Applicable Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Applicable Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate Dollar Amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Applicable Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Banks, such Applicable Lender’s Applicable Percentage (after giving effect to the reallocation provisions of paragraph (k) below) of each LC Disbursement made by the Issuing Banks and not reimbursed by the Applicable Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section 2.06, or

of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Applicable Borrower for any reason. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.
(e) Reimbursement. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Applicable Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to such Issuing Bank in Dollars the Dollar Amount equal to such LC Disbursement, calculated as of the date such Issuing Bank made such LC Disbursement (or if the Issuing Bank shall so elect in its sole discretion by notice to the Applicable Borrower, in such other Agreed Currency which was paid by such Issuing Bank pursuant to such LC Disbursement in an amount equal to such LC Disbursement) not later than 12:00 noon, Local Time, on the first Business Day immediately following the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if the Applicable Borrower shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement on the date of such LC Disbursement; provided that, if such LC Disbursement is not less than the Dollar Amount of $1,000,000, the Applicable Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 or 2.05 that such payment be financed with an ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan in an equivalent Dollar Amount of such LC Disbursement and, to the extent so financed, the Applicable Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan. If the Applicable Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Applicable Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Applicable Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Applicable Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage (after giving effect to the reallocation provisions of paragraph (k) below) of the payment then due from the Applicable Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Applicable Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Applicable Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Applicable Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Applicable Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and the applicable Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by an Applicable Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Revolving Loans or a Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Applicable Borrower of its obligations to reimburse such LC Disbursement. If the Applicable Borrower’s reimbursement of, or obligation to reimburse, any amounts in any Foreign Currency would subject the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Revolving Lender to any stamp duty, ad valorem charge or similar tax that would not be payable if such reimbursement were made or required to be made in Dollars, the Applicable Borrower shall, at its option, either (x) pay the amount of any such tax requested by the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or the relevant Revolving

Lender or (y) reimburse each LC Disbursement made in such Foreign Currency in Dollars, in an amount equal to the Equivalent Amount, calculated using the applicable Exchange Rates, on the date such LC Disbursement is made, of such LC Disbursement.
(f) Obligations Absolute. The Applicable Borrower’s obligations to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section 2.06 shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by an Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.06, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Applicable Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Lenders nor the Issuing Banks, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the applicable Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse such Issuing Bank from liability to the Applicable Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Applicable Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Applicable Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, such Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.
(g) Disbursement Procedures. Each Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. Each Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Applicable Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Applicable Borrower of its

obligations to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Applicable Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.
(h) Interim Interest. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Applicable Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Applicable Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans (or in the case such LC Disbursement is denominated in a Foreign Currency, at the Overnight Foreign Currency Rate for such Agreed Currency plus the then effective Applicable Margin with respect to Eurocurrency Revolving Loans or USD Term SOFR Revolving Loans, as applicable); provided that, if the Applicable Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 2.06, then Section 2.13(d) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the Issuing Banks, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Applicable Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 2.06 to reimburse the Issuing Banks shall be for the account of such Applicable Lender to the extent of such payment.
(i) Replacement or Resignation of Issuing Bank. Each Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Applicable Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. Any Issuing Bank may resign at any time by giving 60 days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent and the Applicable Borrowers. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Lenders of any such replacement or resignation of the Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement or resignation shall become effective, the Applicable Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced or resigning Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12. From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement or resignation of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank or resigning bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit then outstanding and issued by it prior to such replacement or resignation, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.
(j) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Applicable Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, a Majority in Interest of the Revolving Lenders) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Applicable Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders (the “LC Collateral Account”), an amount in cash equal to 102% of the Dollar Amount of the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that (i) the portions of such amount attributable to undrawn Foreign Currency Letters of Credit or LC Disbursements in a Foreign Currency that the Applicable Borrower is not late in

reimbursing shall be deposited in the applicable Foreign Currencies in the actual amounts of such undrawn Letters of Credit and LC Disbursements and (ii) the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Applicable Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of Section 7.01. For the purposes of this paragraph, the Foreign Currency LC Exposure shall be calculated using the applicable Exchange Rate on the date notice demanding cash collateralization is delivered to the Applicable Borrower. The Applicable Borrower also shall deposit cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph as and to the extent required by Section 2.11(c). Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account and the Applicable Borrower hereby grants the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in the LC Collateral Account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits in Cash Equivalents, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Applicable Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Banks for LC Disbursements for which they have not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Applicable Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of a Majority in Interest of the Revolving Lenders), be applied to satisfy other Secured Obligations. If the Applicable Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Applicable Borrower within three (3) Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived. If the Applicable Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder pursuant to Section 2.11(c), such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Applicable Borrower as and to the extent that, after giving effect to such return, the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposures would not exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments and no Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
(k) Reallocations and Extensions. If the Maturity Date in respect of any Class of Revolving Commitments occurs prior to the expiration of any Letter of Credit, then (i) if Extended Revolving Commitments or one or more other Tranches of Revolving Commitments of any other Class or Classes in respect of which the Maturity Date shall not have occurred are then in effect and the obligations to issue Letters of Credit hereunder remain at such time, such Letters of Credit shall automatically be deemed to have been issued (including for purposes of the obligations of the Revolving Lenders to purchase participations therein and to make Revolving Loans and payments in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.06(e)) under (and ratably participated in by Revolving Lenders pursuant to) Extended Revolving Commitments or the Revolving Commitments of such other Class or Classes in respect of such non-terminating Extended Revolving Commitments or Tranches up to an aggregate amount not to exceed the aggregate principal amount of the unutilized Extended Revolving Commitments or Revolving Commitments of such other Class or Classes thereunder at such time (it being understood that no partial face amount of any Letter of Credit may be so reallocated) and (ii) to the extent not

reallocated pursuant to the immediately preceding clause (i), the Applicable Borrower shall Cash Collateralize any such Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 2.06(j). Except to the extent of reallocations of participations pursuant to clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence, the occurrence of a Maturity Date with respect to a given Class of Revolving Commitments shall have no effect upon (and shall not diminish) the percentage participations of the Revolving Lenders in any Letter of Credit issued before such Maturity Date.
(l) Issuing Bank Agreements. Each Issuing Bank (other than the Administrative Agent or its affiliates) agrees that, unless otherwise requested by the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank shall report in writing to the Administrative Agent (i) on the first Business Day of each month, the daily activity (set forth by day) in respect of Letters of Credit during the immediately preceding month, including all issuances, extensions, amendments and renewals, all expirations and cancellations and all disbursements and reimbursements, (ii) on or prior to each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank expects to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, and the currency and aggregate face amount of the Letters of Credit to be issued, amended, renewed or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension occurred (and whether the amount thereof changed), it being understood that such Issuing Bank shall not permit any issuance, renewal, extension or amendment resulting in an increase in the amount of any Letter of Credit to occur without first obtaining written confirmation from the Administrative Agent that it is then permitted under this Agreement, (iii) on each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank makes any LC Disbursement, the date of such LC Disbursement and the amount of such LC Disbursement, (iv) on any Business Day on which the Applicable Borrower fails to reimburse an LC Disbursement required to be reimbursed to such Issuing Bank on such day, the date of such failure and the amount and currency of such LC Disbursement and (v) on any other Business Day, such other information as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request, as to the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank.
(m) Letters of Credit Issued for Restricted Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Restricted Subsidiary, the Applicable Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the Issuing Banks hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Applicable Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of Restricted Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Applicable Borrower, and that the Applicable Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Restricted Subsidiaries.
Section 2.07 Funding of Borrowings.
(a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds (i) in the case of Loans denominated in Dollars, by 12:00 noon, New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders and (ii) in the case of each Loan denominated in a Foreign Currency, by 12:00 noon, Local Time, in the city of the Administrative Agent’s Eurocurrency Payment Office for such currency and at such Eurocurrency Payment Office for such currency; provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as

provided in Section 2.05. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Applicable Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to (x) an account of the Applicable Borrower designated by the Applicable Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request in the case of Loans denominated in Dollars and (y) an account of the Applicable Borrower in the relevant jurisdiction and designated by the Applicable Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request, in the case of Loans denominated in a Foreign Currency; provided that ABR Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.06(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank.
(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section 2.07 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Applicable Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Applicable Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation (including without limitation the Overnight Foreign Currency Rate in the case of Loans denominated in a Foreign Currency) or (ii) in the case of an Applicable Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Class of ABR Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.
Section 2.08 Interest Elections.
(a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type, and under the applicable Tranche, specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, USD Term SOFR Borrowing or RFR Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, subject to clause (f) below, the Applicable Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, USD Term SOFR Borrowing or RFR Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section 2.08. The Applicable Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section 2.08 shall not apply to Swingline Loans, which may not be converted or continued. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.08, the Applicable Borrower shall not be permitted to change the Tranche of any Borrowing, except as otherwise expressly contemplated by Section 2.22.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.08, the Applicable Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election (which may be made (x) telephonically and followed by irrevocable written notice via an Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Applicable Borrower in the case of a borrowing denominated in Dollars or (y) by irrevocable written notice via an Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Applicable Borrower in the case of a borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency) by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Applicable Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type and Class resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, this Section 2.08 shall not be construed to permit the Applicable Borrower to (i) change the currency of any Borrowing, (ii) elect an Interest Period for Eurocurrency Loans, USD Term SOFR Loans or RFR Loans that does not comply with Section 2.02(c) or (iii) convert any Borrowing to a Borrowing of a Type not available under the Class of Commitments or the Tranche pursuant to which such Borrowing was made.
(c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:
(i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);
(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;
(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing, a Eurocurrency Borrowing, a USD Term SOFR Borrowing or an RFR Borrowing; and
(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurocurrency Borrowing, USD Term SOFR Borrowing or RFR Borrowing, the Interest Period and Agreed Currency to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which Interest Period shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.

(d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each applicable Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.
(e) If the Applicable Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurocurrency Borrowing, USD Term SOFR Borrowing or RFR Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing

Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount and Class and Tranche of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that a notice of prepayment may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or one or more other events specified therein, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Applicable Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a Revolving Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Revolving Loans included in the prepaid Revolving Borrowing, each voluntary prepayment of a Term Loan Borrowing shall be applied as directed by the Applicable Borrower and each mandatory prepayment of a Term Loan Borrowing shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.11(e). Prepayments shall be accompanied by (i) accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13 and (ii) break funding payments pursuant to Section 2.16.
(b) If at any time, (i) solely as a result of fluctuations in currency Exchange Rates, the sum of the aggregate principal Dollar Amount of all of the Revolving Credit Exposures (calculated, with respect to those Credit Events denominated in Foreign Currencies, as of the most recent Computation Date with respect to each such Credit Event) exceeds 105% of the aggregate Revolving Commitments or (ii) for any other reason, the sum of the aggregate principal Dollar Amount of all of the Revolving Credit Exposures of any Class (so calculated) exceeds the aggregate Commitments of such Class, the Applicable Borrower shall in each case immediately repay the applicable Borrowings or Cash Collateralize LC Exposure in an account with the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.06(j), as applicable, in an aggregate principal amount sufficient to cause the aggregate Dollar Amount of all Revolving Credit Exposures (so calculated) of each Class to be less than or equal to the aggregate Commitments of such Class.
(c) In the event and on each occasion that (i) any Net Proceeds are received by or on behalf of Holdings or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in respect of any Prepayment Event, the Applicable Borrower shall, within ten (10) Business Days after such Net Proceeds are received, prepay the Obligations as set forth in Section 2.11(d)(i) below (and subject to Section 2.11(e)) in an aggregate amount equal to the Required Net Proceeds Percentage of such Net Proceeds; provided that:
(1) any Loan Party may use a portion of such Net Proceeds to prepay or repurchase Permitted Pari Passu Secured Refinancing Debt and, to the extent such debt is (x) secured on a pari passu basis with the Obligations and (y) pari passu in right of payment with the Obligations hereunder, any Alternative Incremental Facility Indebtedness and/or Ratio Debt to the extent any applicable credit agreement, indenture or other agreement governing such Permitted Pari Passu Secured Refinancing Debt, such Alternative Incremental Facility Indebtedness and/or such Ratio Debt so requires, in each case in an amount not to exceed the product of (x) the amount of such Net Proceeds

and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the outstanding principal amount of such Permitted Pari Passu Secured Refinancing Debt, such Alternative Incremental Facility Indebtedness and/or such Ratio Debt, as applicable, and the denominator of which is the sum of the outstanding principal amount of such Permitted Pari Passu Secured Refinancing Debt, such Alternative Incremental Facility Indebtedness and/or such Ratio Debt, as applicable, and the outstanding principal amount of Term Loans; and
(2) in the case of any event described in clause (1) or (2) of the definition of the term “Prepayment Event”, if Holdings or its Restricted Subsidiaries elect to apply all or a portion of the Net Proceeds from such event (or a portion thereof), within 18 months after receipt of such Net Proceeds, to acquire, maintain, develop, construct, improve, upgrade or repair assets useful in the business of Holdings or its Restricted Subsidiaries or to make capital expenditures, Permitted Acquisitions, Permitted Investments or Investments permitted by Section 6.04, then no prepayment shall be required pursuant to this paragraph in respect of such Net Proceeds; provided, that to the extent of any such Net Proceeds therefrom that have not been so applied by the end of such 18 month period (or committed to be applied by the end of the 18 month period and applied within 6 months after the end of such 18 month period), a prepayment shall be required at the end of such period in an amount equal to such Net Proceeds that have not been so applied (subject to clause (f) below); or
(ii) any Loan Party incurs, issues or obtains any Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness (other than solely by means of extending or renewing then existing Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness without resulting in any Net Proceeds), the Applicable Borrower shall, on the date on which such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness is incurred, issued or obtained, prepay any Loans constituting the applicable Refinanced Debt as set forth in Section 2.11(e) below in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the Net Proceeds of such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness; and
(iii) no later than ten (10) business days after the date on which the financial statements with respect to such fiscal year in which such Excess Cash Flow Period occurs are delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a), the Applicable Borrower shall make prepayments of the Term Loans (unless otherwise provided in any Incremental Amendment or Refinancing Amendment) in accordance with Section 2.11(d) in an aggregate principal amount (the “ECF Payment Amount”) equal to (a) (x) if the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio at the end of such period is greater than or equal to 4.50:1.00, 50% of Excess Cash Flow for the Excess Cash Flow Period then ended, (y) if the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio at the end of such period is less than 4.50:1.00 but greater than 4.00:1.00, 25% of Excess Cash Flow for the Excess Cash Flow Period then ended and (z) if the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio at the end of such period is less than or equal to

4.00:1.00 (but excluding, for purposes of such calculation, the proceeds of any Incremental Loans or any other Indebtedness incurred on such date in the calculation of the Unrestricted Cash), 0% of Excess Cash Flow for the Excess Cash Flow Period then ended minus (b) in the case of (a)(x) and (y) above, the sum of (1) all voluntary prepayments or permitted purchases of Term Loans, Alternative Incremental Facility Indebtedness, New Notes and other Indebtedness secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with the Obligations and Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness (in each case that is secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with the Obligations) during such Excess Cash Flow Period (and in the case of the first Excess Cash Flow Period after the Closing Date, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021) or, without duplication across Excess Cash Flow Periods, after the end of such Excess Cash Flow Period and prior to when such Excess Cash Flow prepayment is due (limited in the case of any voluntary prepayments made pursuant to Section 2.11(a)(ii) and purchases made pursuant to Section 2.23 to the discounted amount actually paid in respect of the principal amount of such Term Loans (as opposed to the face amount so prepaid)), (2) all voluntary prepayments of Revolving Loans during such Excess Cash Flow Period (and in the case of the first Excess Cash Flow Period after the Closing Date, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021) or, without duplication across Excess Cash Flow Periods, after the end of such Excess Cash Flow Period and prior to when such Excess Cash Flow prepayment is due, to the extent the Revolving Commitments are permanently reduced by the amount of such payments, in each case except to the extent financed with the proceeds of long-term Indebtedness (other than revolving Indebtedness), (3) without duplication of amounts deducted in prior periods and, at the option of Holdings, the aggregate consideration required to be paid in cash by Holdings or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries pursuant to binding contracts (the “Contract Consideration”) entered into prior to or during such period or prior to the payment date of the ECF Payment Amount relating to Permitted Acquisitions or other Investments, capital expenditures, Capitalized Software Expenditures, acquisitions of intellectual property or non-ordinary course acquisitions of other assets to be consummated or made during the fiscal year following such period; provided that Holdings may make a good faith estimate of such amount to the extent such amount is unable to be definitively determined at the date of determination of Excess Cash Flow for the applicable period; provided, further, that, to the extent the aggregate amount of cash flow (except to the extent financed with the proceeds of long-term Indebtedness of Holdings or its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than revolving Indebtedness)) actually utilized to finance such Permitted Acquisitions, other Investments, capital expenditures, Capitalized Software Expenditures, acquisitions of intellectual property or non-ordinary course acquisitions of other assets during such period of four consecutive fiscal quarters is less than the Contract Consideration, the amount of such shortfall shall be added to the calculation of Excess Cash Flow at the end of such period of four consecutive fiscal quarters, (4) without duplication of amounts deducted pursuant to this clause (4) or clause (3) above in prior fiscal years, the amount of Investments made pursuant to the definition of “Permitted Investments” and Section 6.04 (other than Investments in (x) cash and Cash Equivalents and (y) Holdings or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries other than any Investments in the Equity Interests of Oncacare Limited) made during such period and, at the election of Holdings, made after such period but prior to the date of the applicable Excess Cash Flow payment, in each case

except to the extent financed with the proceeds of long-term Indebtedness of Holdings or its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than revolving Indebtedness), (5) [reserved] and (6) without duplication of amounts deducted pursuant to this clause (6) or clause (3) above in prior fiscal years, the amount of capital expenditures, Capitalized Software Expenditures or acquisitions of intellectual property accrued or made in cash during such period and, at the election of Holdings, made after such period but prior to the date of the applicable Excess Cash Flow payment, in each case except to the extent financed with the proceeds of long-term Indebtedness of Holdings or its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than revolving Indebtedness); provided that a prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.11(c)(iii) shall only be required in the amount (if any) by which the ECF Payment Amount for such fiscal year exceeds an amount equal to the greater of $60,000,000 and 5% of Consolidated EBITDA for the Test Period most recently ended on or prior to the date of such determination; provided, further, that the Applicable Borrower may use a portion of such ECF Payment Amount to prepay or repurchase Permitted Pari Passu Secured Refinancing Debt and, to the extent such debt is (x) secured on a pari passu basis with the Obligations and (y) pari passu in right of payment with the Obligations hereunder, any Alternative Incremental Facility Indebtedness and/or Ratio Debt to the extent any applicable credit agreement, indenture or other agreement governing such Permitted Pari Passu Secured Refinancing Debt, such Alternative Incremental Facility Indebtedness and/or such Ratio Debt so requires, in each case in an amount not to exceed the product of (x) the amount of such ECF Payment Amount and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the outstanding principal amount of such Permitted Pari Passu Secured Refinancing Debt, such Alternative Incremental Facility Indebtedness and/or such Ratio Debt, as applicable, and the denominator of which is the sum of the outstanding principal amount of such Permitted Pari Passu Secured Refinancing Debt, such Alternative Incremental Facility Indebtedness and/or such Ratio Debt, as applicable, and the outstanding principal amount of Term Loans.
(d) Subject to Section 2.11(e) below and except as specified in any Extension Amendment, Incremental Amendment or Refinancing Amendment (with respect to the applicable Extended Term Loans or Incremental Loans or the Loans incurred pursuant to such Refinancing Amendment), (i) all such amounts pursuant to Sections 2.11(c)(i) and (iii) shall be applied pro rata among the Classes and Tranches of Term Loans and, in a manner determined by Holdings, applied to amortization payments; provided that Holdings shall notify the Administrative Agent of such determination and (ii) all such amounts pursuant to Section 2.11(c)(ii) shall be applied to prepay an aggregate principal amount of the applicable Loans constituting Refinanced Debt equal to the Net Proceeds of the applicable Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness.
(e) The Borrowers shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any mandatory prepayment of Term Loans required to be made pursuant to Section 2.11(c)(i) and (iii) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment. Each such notice shall specify the date of such prepayment and provide a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Term Lender of the contents of any such prepayment notice and of such Term Lender’s ratable portion of such prepayment (based on such Term Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each relevant Tranche of the

Term Loans). Any Term Lender (a “Declining Term Lender,” and any Term Lender which is not a Declining Term Lender, an “Accepting Term Lender”) may elect, by delivering written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers no later than 5:00 p.m. one (1) Business Day after the date of such Term Lender’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent regarding such prepayment, that the full amount of any mandatory prepayment otherwise required to be made with respect to the Term Loans held by such Term Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(c)(i) and (iii) not be made (the aggregate amount of such prepayments declined by the Declining Term Lenders, the “Declined Prepayment Amount”); provided however that (x) no Term Lender may decline a mandatory prepayment solely with respect to one Tranche of Initial Term Loans and not the other Tranche of Initial Term Loans and (y) a Term Lender may not decline a prepayment made by the Applicable Borrower pursuant to any event described in clause (3) of the term “Prepayment Event”. If a Term Lender fails to deliver notice setting forth such rejection of a prepayment to the Administrative Agent within the time frame specified above or such notice fails to specify the principal amount of the Term Loans to be rejected, any such failure will be deemed an acceptance of the total amount of such mandatory prepayment of Term Loans. For the avoidance of doubt, the Applicable Borrower may, at its option, apply any Declined Prepayment Amount to prepay loans in accordance with Section 2.11(a) above.
(f) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.11, to the extent (i) any Net Proceeds exist as a result of an Asset Sale or casualty event from Holdings and/or a Foreign Subsidiary (or with respect to any Lux Term Loan, a non-Luxembourg Subsidiary) that give rise to a prepayment event pursuant to Section 2.11(c)(i) or (ii) any Excess Cash Flow attributable to Holdings and/or a Foreign Subsidiary (or with respect to any Lux Term Loan, a non-Luxembourg Subsidiary) exists that gives rise to a prepayment event pursuant to Section 2.11(c)(iii), and, in either case, the repatriation of cash to which such prepayment obligation is attributable would result in a material adverse tax consequence and/or is prohibited, restricted or delayed by applicable local law from being repatriated or contributed to the Applicable Borrower, an amount equal to the portion of such Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to repay the Term Loans at the times provided in this Section 2.11 so long, but only so long, as the material adverse tax consequence would result from, and/or applicable local law will not permit repatriation or contribution to the Applicable Borrower; provided however that Holdings shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly take all actions, and cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary (or with respect to any Lux Term Loan, the non-Luxembourg Subsidiary) to promptly take all actions, in each case reasonably required by the applicable local law to eliminate such material adverse tax consequence and/or permit such repatriation or contribution under applicable local law.

Accrued Utilization Fees shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which the last of the Revolving Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date. All Utilization Fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(d) The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent.

(e) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and in the case of Revolving Loans, upon termination of the applicable Revolving Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section 2.13 shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan of any Class (other than a prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan, USD Term SOFR Loan or RFR Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.
(f) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that (i) interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and (ii) for Borrowings denominated in Pounds Sterling, interest shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days, and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate, USD Adjusted Term SOFR, USD Term SOFR, Adjusted EURIBOR Rate, EURIBOR Rate or Daily Simple RFR shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
Section 2.14 Benchmark Replacement Setting.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document (and any Swap Agreement shall be deemed not to be a “Loan Document” for purposes of this Section 2.14):
(a) [Reserved].
(b) Replacing USD Benchmarks. Upon the occurrence of a USD Benchmark Transition Event, the USD Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current USD Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any such USD Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5 th) Business Day after the date notice of such USD 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 USD Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. At any time that the administrator of any then-current USD Benchmark has permanently or indefinitely ceased to provide such USD Benchmark or such USD Benchmark has been announced by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such USD Benchmark pursuant to public statement or publication of information to be no longer representative and will not be restored, the Applicable 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 USD Benchmark until the Applicable Borrower’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent that a USD Benchmark Replacement has replaced such USD Benchmark, and, failing that, the Applicable Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to ABR Loans. During the period referenced in the foregoing sentence, if a

component of ABR is based upon the USD Benchmark, such component will not be used in any determination of ABR.
(c) USD Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation and administration of any USD Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent, with the consent of Holdings (not be unreasonably withheld), will have the right to make USD 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 USD Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement.
(d) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify Holdings and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any USD Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any USD Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. For the avoidance of doubt, any notice required to be delivered by the Administrative Agent as set forth in this Section 2.14 may be provided, at the option of the Administrative Agent with the consent of Holdings (not to be unreasonably withheld), in one or more notices and may be delivered together with, or as part of any amendment which implements any USD Benchmark Replacement or USD Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section, 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 or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.14.
(e) Unavailability of Tenor of USD Benchmark. At any time (including in connection with the implementation of any USD Benchmark Replacement), (i) if any then-current USD Benchmark is a term rate (including USD Term SOFR Reference Rate), then the Administrative Agent may remove any tenor of such USD Benchmark that is unavailable or non-representative for USD Benchmark (including USD Benchmark Replacement) settings and (ii) the Administrative Agent may reinstate any such previously removed tenor for USD Benchmark (including USD Benchmark Replacement) settings.
(f) Disclaimer. The Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to (i) the administration, submission or calculation on any other matter related to the USD Term SOFR Reference Rate, USD Adjusted Term SOFR or USD Term SOFR or any component definition thereof or rates in the definition thereof, or any alternative, successor or replacement rate thereof (including, without limitation any USD Benchmark Replacement implemented hereunder), (ii) the composition or characteristics of any such USD Benchmark Replacement, including whether it is similar to, or produces the same value or economic equivalence to the USD Term SOFR Reference Rate, USD Adjusted Term SOFR or USD Term SOFR or any other USD Benchmark, (iii) any actions or use of its discretion or other decisions or determinations made with respect to any matters covered by this Section 2.14 including, without limitation, whether or not a USD Benchmark Transition

Event has occurred, the removal or lack thereof of unavailable or non-representative tenors, the implementation or lack thereof of any USD Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, the delivery or non-delivery of any notices required by clause (d) above or otherwise in accordance herewith, and (iv) the effect of any of the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.14.
(g) Alternate Currency Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of an Alternate Currency Benchmark Transition Event or an Alternate Currency Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and Holdings may amend this Agreement to replace the Eurocurrency Rate applicable to an Alternate Currency or Daily Simple RFR with an Alternate Currency Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to an Alternate Currency Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders; provided that, to the extent the Eurocurrency Rate applicable to an Alternate Currency or Daily Simple RFR is replaced with an Alternate Currency SOFR-Based Rate, Lenders shall only be entitled to object to the Alternate Currency Benchmark Replacement Adjustments with respect thereto. Any such amendment with respect to an Alternate Currency Early Opt-in Election will become effective on the date that Lenders comprising the Required Lenders of each Class have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders accept such amendment. No replacement of the Eurocurrency Rate applicable to an Alternate Currency or Daily Simple RFR with an Alternate Currency Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 2.14 will occur prior to the applicable Alternate Currency Benchmark Transition Start Date.
(h) Alternate Currency Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation of an Alternate Currency Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent, with the consent of Holdings (not be unreasonably withheld), will have the right to make Alternate Currency 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 Alternate Currency Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement.
(i) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify Holdings and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of an Alternate Currency Benchmark Transition Event or an Alternate Currency Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Alternate Currency Benchmark Replacement Date and Alternate Currency Benchmark Transition Start Date, (ii) the implementation of any Alternate Currency Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Alternate Currency Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and (iv) the commencement or conclusion of any Alternate Currency Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.14, 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 or their sole discretion

and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.14.
(j) Upon Holdings receipt of notice of the commencement of (i) an Alternate Currency Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to the Eurocurrency Rate applicable to an Alternate Currency, any Borrower may revoke a request made by such Borrower for a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in such Alternate Currency of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans denominated in such Alternate Currency to be made, converted or continued during any Alternate Currency Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to the Eurocurrency Rate applicable to such Alternate Currency and, failing that, any Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in such Alternate Currency shall be ineffective and (ii) an Alternate Currency Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to Daily Simple RFR, any Borrower may revoke a request made by such Borrower for an RFR Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of RFR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Alternate Currency Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to the Daily Simple RFR and, failing that, any RFR Borrowing shall be ineffective. Furthermore, if any Eurocurrency Loan in any Alternate Currency or RFR Loan is outstanding on the date of Holdings’ receipt of notice of the commencement of an Alternate Currency Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to the Eurocurrency Rate applicable to such Eurocurrency Loan or Daily Simple RFR, as applicable, then such Loan shall, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), at the Borrower’s election prior to such day: (A) be prepaid by the Applicable Borrower on such day or (B) be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and (subject to the remainder of this subclause (B)) shall constitute, an ABR Loan denominated in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Alternate Currency) on such day (it being understood and agreed that if the Applicable Borrower does not so prepay such Loan on such day by 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) the Administrative Agent is authorized to effect such conversion of such Eurocurrency Loan or RFR Loan, as applicable, into an ABR Loan denominated in Dollars), and, in the case of such subclause (B), upon any subsequent implementation of an Alternate Currency Benchmark Replacement in respect of such Alternate Currency pursuant to this Section 2.10, such ABR Loan denominated in Dollars shall then be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, a Eurocurrency Loan denominated in such original Alternate Currency or RFR Loan denominated in such original Alternate Currency, as applicable (in an amount equal to the Alternate Currency Equivalent of such Alternate Currency) on the day of such implementation, giving effect to such Alternate Currency Benchmark Replacement in respect of such Alternate Currency.
(k) Tax Matters. At the Borrower’s request, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy any applicable guidance of the Internal Revenue Service, in a manner that is not adverse to the Lenders that is intended to prevent any Benchmark Transition Event from resulting in a deemed exchange of any Loan under this Agreement for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1001-3.
Section 2.15 Increased Costs.
(a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Eurocurrency Rate) or any Issuing Bank;
(ii) impose on any Lender or any Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; or
(iii) subject the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Other Taxes and (C) Excluded Taxes (including any change in the rate of Excluded Taxes)) with respect to this Agreement, any Loan made by it or any Letter of Credit or participation therein, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to the Administrative Agent or such Lender of making or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan (including, without limitation, pursuant to any conversion of any Borrowing denominated in an Agreed Currency into a Borrowing denominated in any other Agreed Currency) or to increase the cost to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (including, without limitation, pursuant to any conversion of any Borrowing denominated in an Agreed Currency into a Borrowing denominated in any other Agreed Currency) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank hereunder, whether of principal, interest or otherwise (including, without limitation, pursuant to any conversion of any Borrowing denominated in an Agreed Currency into a Borrowing denominated in any other Agreed Currency), then the Applicable Borrower will pay to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b) If any Lender or Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuing Banks’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by such Lender, or Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the Applicable Borrower will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(c) A certificate of a Lender or Issuing Bank setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis and calculation of the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender

or Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.15 shall be delivered to the Applicable Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Applicable Borrower shall pay such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.
(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Applicable Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 2.15 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Applicable Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
Section 2.16 Break Funding Payments.
In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurocurrency Loan, USD Term SOFR Loan or RFR Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default or as a result of any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.11), (b) the conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan, USD Term SOFR Loan or RFR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurocurrency Loan, USD Term SOFR Loan or RFR Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.11(a) and is revoked in accordance therewith) or (d) the assignment of any Eurocurrency Loan, USD Term SOFR Loan or RFR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Applicable Borrower pursuant to Section 2.20, then, in any such event the Applicable Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. Such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued or has been payable on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Eurocurrency Rate, USD Adjusted Term SOFR or Daily Simple RFR, as applicable, that would have been applicable to such Loan (but not the Applicable Margin applicable thereto), for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits in the relevant currency of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurocurrency market or other applicable market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.16, and setting forth in reasonable detail the calculations used by such Lender to determine such amount or amounts, shall be delivered to the Applicable Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Applicable Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof; provided that Applicable Borrower shall

not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.16 for any amounts under this Section 2.16 incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Applicable Borrower of such amount and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor.
Section 2.17 Taxes.
(a) All payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes. If an applicable withholding agent shall be required to deduct or withhold any Taxes from such payments, then (i) if such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased by the amount necessary so that after all required deductions or withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.17) each Agent and Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes been made, (ii) the withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deductions or withholdings and (iii) the withholding agent shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements.
(b) In addition, the Loan Parties shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements or, at the option of the Administrative Agent, timely reimburse it for the payment of any Other Taxes.
(c) Each Borrower and each Loan Party with respect to any Loans made to such Borrower shall jointly and severally indemnify each Agent and each Lender, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes paid by such Agent or such Lender with respect to any Loans made to such Borrower (including Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.17) and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided, however, that the Loan Parties shall not be required to indemnify any Agent or Lender pursuant to this Section 2.17(c) for any interest, penalties or expenses to the extent resulting from such Agent’s or such Lender’s failure to notify the Loan Parties of such possible indemnification claim within 120 days after such Agent or such Lender, as applicable, receives written notice from the applicable Governmental Authority of the specific Tax assessment or deficiency claim giving rise to such indemnification claim. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for and calculation of such payment or liability delivered to the Applicable Borrower by a Lender or Agent or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or Agent, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.17, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment (if the applicable Governmental Authority makes such

receipts readily available to the applicable Loan Party), a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(e) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to any payments under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrowers (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time(s) and in the manner(s) reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation 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 Legal Requirements 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. Each Lender and Administrative Agent agrees that if any documentation it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.17(e) (including any of the specific forms described below) has expired or become obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall promptly update such documentation or notify the Applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal ineligibility to do so. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding three sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation with respect to any Tax imposed by any jurisdiction other than the United States, Ireland or Luxembourg, or, in each case, any political subdivision thereof, 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.
(i) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
(A) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to such U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent 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 U.S. Borrower or the Administrative Agent), two duly executed copies of whichever of the following is applicable:
(xix) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E;
(xx) IRS Form W-8ECI;
(xxi) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10-percent shareholder” of such U.S. Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to such U.S. Borrower as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and that no payment under any Loan Document is effectively connected with such Foreign

Lender’s conduct of a U.S. trade or business (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E; or
(xxii) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner of payments made to it under the Loan Documents, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-2 or Exhibit G-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership (and not a participating Lender) and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner(s);
(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to such U.S. 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 U.S. Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable Legal Requirements as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Legal Requirements to permit such U.S. Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made (if any); and
(C) if a payment made to the Administrative Agent or a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to United States federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if the Administrative Agent or such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall deliver to Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Legal Requirements and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Legal Requirements (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that the Administrative Agent or such Lender has complied with the Administrative Agent or such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.17(e)(i)(C), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to such U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent, on or prior to the date on which such Person becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of such U.S. Borrower or the Administrative Agent), two properly completed and duly executed copies of IRS Form W-9 or any successor form, certifying that such Person is exempt from United States federal backup withholding Tax.
(iii) On or prior to the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the U.S. Borrower either (1) two properly completed and duly signed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that the Administrative Agent is a U.S. Person that is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding or (2) (x) with respect to payments received for the account of a Lender, two properly completed and duly signed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY evidencing the Administrative Agent’s agreement to be treated as a U.S. Person for U.S. federal withholding tax purposes and assuming primary responsibility for U.S. federal income tax withholding and (y) with respect to payments received for the Administrative Agent’s own account, two properly completed and duly signed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI. The Administrative Agent shall, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders any such documentation expired, obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, deliver promptly to the U.S. Borrower updated versions of the documentation described in the preceding sentence (or any new documentation reasonably requested by the U.S. Borrower); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to furnish updated documentation to the extent it is not legally eligible to do so as a result of a Change in Law after the date hereof, in which event the Administrative Agent will promptly notify the U.S. Borrower of such ineligibility.
(iv) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any Lender that is an Irish Qualifying Lender solely on account of being an Irish Treaty Lender shall provide a self-certification form (a “Form 8-3-6. Interest”) to any Borrower that is tax resident in Ireland, which is to make a payment of interest under this Agreement to which that Irish Treaty Lender is entitled (with a copy to the Administrative Agent).
(v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.17(e), no Lender shall be required to provide any documentation pursuant to this Section 2.17(e) that such Lender is not legally eligible to provide.
(f) If the Administrative Agent or a Lender 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 any Borrower or any Guarantor, as the case may be, or with respect to which any Borrower or any Guarantor, as the case may be, has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17, it shall pay over such refund to such Borrower or such Guarantor (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Borrower or such Guarantor under this Section 2.17 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect

to such refund); provided that such Borrower or Guarantor, as the case may be, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Borrower or Guarantor (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (f), in no event will the Administrative Agent or a Lender be required to pay any amount to any Borrower or any Guarantor pursuant to this paragraph (f) the payment of which would place the Administrative Agent or such Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Administrative Agent or such Lender 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 Section 2.17 shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to any Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person.
(g) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes and without limiting or expanding the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender's failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04(c)(ii) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are paid or payable by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to 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 Section 2.17(g).
(h) (i) Every Revolving Lender under any Revolving Loans, Extended Revolving Loans or Incremental Revolving Loans, as applicable, advanced to a Borrower that is tax resident in Ireland shall on or prior to the day on which such Revolving Lender becomes a Revolving Lender under this Agreement, provide a confirmation in the form attached at Exhibit H (an “Irish Qualifying Lender Confirmation”). Each such Revolving Lender that becomes a Revolving Lender after the date of this Agreement shall provide, in any Assignment and Assumption which it executes on becoming a Revolving Lender, and each party that becomes a Participant with respect to the Revolving Loans, Extended Revolving Loans or Incremental Revolving Loans, as applicable, advanced to a Borrower that is tax resident in Ireland after the date of this Agreement shall provide, upon becoming a Participant, for the benefit of each Foreign Loan Party and Administrative Agent an Irish Qualifying Lender Confirmation.
(ii) If a Revolving Lender or Participant, as the case may be, fails to provide an Irish Qualifying Lender Confirmation in accordance with this Section 2.17(h),

then such Revolving Lender or Participant, as the case may be, shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement (including by each Foreign Loan Party) as if it is not an Irish Qualifying Lender until such time as it provides an Irish Qualifying Lender Confirmation to the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent, upon receipt of such Irish Qualifying Lender Confirmation, shall inform each Foreign Loan Party). For the avoidance of doubt, an Assignment and Assumption or participation, as the case may be, shall not be invalidated by any failure of a Revolving Lender or Participant, as the case may be, to comply with this Section 2.17(h).
(iii) Each Revolving Lender or Participant required to provide an Irish Qualifying Lender Confirmation in accordance with this Section 2.17(h), as the case may be, shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent if there has been a change in any of the details provided in the Irish Qualifying Lender Confirmation (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any Change in Law) and provide an updated Irish Qualifying Lender Confirmation at that time and shall, for as long as it is Revolving Lender or Participant, as the case may be, at the reasonable written request by or on behalf of a Borrower that is tax resident in Ireland, provide an updated Irish Qualifying Lender Confirmation.
(iv) Each Lender and Participant shall, upon written request from a Borrower that is tax resident in Ireland, provide such details as are necessary to enable such Borrower to comply with its reporting obligations under Section 891A, 891E, 891F and 891G of the TCA and any other applicable automatic exchange of information obligations.
For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 2.17(h), (1) the term “Revolving Lender” shall include any Issuing Bank and any Swingline Lender and (2) the term “Revolving Loan” shall include any Letter of Credit and any Swingline Loan.
(i) For purposes of this Section 2.17, the term “Lender” shall include any Swingline Lender and any Issuing Bank.
Section 2.18 Payments Generally; Allocations of Proceeds; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs.
(a) Each Applicable Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees, or reimbursement of LC Disbursements or of amounts payable under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to (i) in the case of payments denominated in Dollars, 1:00 p.m., New York City time and (ii) in the case of payments denominated in a Foreign Currency, 1:00 p.m., Local Time, in the city of the Administrative Agent’s Eurocurrency Payment Office for such currency, in each case, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made (i) in the same currency in which the applicable Credit Event was made and (ii) to the Administrative Agent at the address specified in Section 9.01(a)(ii) or such other office as the Administrative Agent may hereafter designate in writing as such to the other parties hereto, or, in the case of a Credit Event denominated in a Foreign Currency, the

Administrative Agent’s Eurocurrency Payment Office for such currency, except payments to be made directly to the applicable Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments denominated in the same currency received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.18, if, after the making of any Credit Event in any Foreign Currency, currency control or exchange regulations are imposed in the country which issues such currency with the result that the type of currency in which the Credit Event was made (the “Original Currency”) no longer exists or the Applicable Borrower is not able to make payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders in such Original Currency, then all payments to be made by the Applicable Borrower hereunder in such currency shall instead be made when due in Dollars in an amount equal to the Dollar Amount (as of the date of repayment) of such payment due, it being the intention of the parties hereto that the Applicable Borrower takes all risks of the imposition of any such currency control or exchange regulations.
(b) Any proceeds of Collateral received by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (whether as a result of any realization on the Collateral, any setoff rights, any distribution in connection with any proceedings or other action of any Loan Party in respect of Debtor Relief Laws or otherwise and whether received in cash or otherwise) (i) not constituting (A) a specific payment of principal, interest, fees or other sum payable under the Loan Documents (which shall be applied on a pro rata basis among the relevant Lenders under the Class of Loans being prepaid as specified by the Applicable Borrower) or (B) a mandatory prepayment (which shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.11) or (ii) after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent so elects or the Required Lenders so direct, such funds shall be applied, subject to the provisions of any Intercreditor Agreement, ratably first, to pay any fees, indemnities, or expense reimbursements including amounts then due to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and any Issuing Bank from the Borrowers, second, to pay any fees or expense reimbursements then due to the Lenders (in their capacities as such) from the Borrowers, third, to pay interest (including post-petition interest, whether or not an allowed claim in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding) then due and payable on the Loans ratably, fourth, to repay principal on the Loans and unreimbursed LC Disbursements, to pay an amount to the Administrative Agent equal to one hundred two percent (102%) of the aggregate undrawn face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit, to be held as cash collateral for such Obligations, and any other amounts owing with respect to any Secured Obligations constituting Swap Obligations and/or Cash Management Agreements ratably; provided that amounts which would otherwise be applied to cash collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit shall, unless all Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans have been paid in full, instead be utilized to repay such outstandings, and fifth, to the payment of any other Secured Obligation due to any Secured Party by the Borrowers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, unless so directed by the Applicable Borrower, or unless a Default is in existence, none of the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall apply any payment which it receives to any Eurocurrency Loan, USD Term SOFR Loan or RFR Loan, except (a) on the

expiration date of the Interest Period or maturity date (as applicable) applicable to any such Eurocurrency Loan, USD Term SOFR Loan or RFR Loan or (b) in the event, and only to the extent, that there are no outstanding ABR Loans of the same Class and, in any event, the Applicable Borrower shall pay the break funding payment required in accordance with Section 2.16. The Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply and reverse and reapply any and all such received proceeds and payments to any portion of the Secured Obligations.
(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans to any assignee or participant, other than, except as provided in Section 2.26, to Holdings or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply) and (iii) nothing in this Section 2.18(c) shall be construed to limit the applicability of Section 2.18(b) in the circumstances where Section 2.18(b) is applicable in accordance with its terms. The Borrowers consent to the foregoing and agree, to the extent they may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrowers rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrowers in the amount of such participation.
(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Applicable Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Lenders or Issuing Banks hereunder that the Applicable Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Applicable Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the relevant Lenders or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Applicable Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the relevant Lenders or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry

rules on interbank compensation (including without limitation the Overnight Foreign Currency Rate in the case of Loans denominated in a Foreign Currency).
(e) Subject to Section 2.26, if any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.05(c), 2.06(d) or (e), 2.07(b), 2.18(d) or 9.03(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender and for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or any Issuing Bank to satisfy such Lender’s obligations to it under this Section 2.18 until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under any this Section 2.18; in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.
Section 2.19 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.
(a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, if any Applicable Borrower is required to pay any additional amount or indemnification payment to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17 or if any Lender delivers a notice pursuant to Section 2.25, then such Lender shall 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, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17, as the case may be, in the future or avoid such illegality under Section 2.25 and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender. The Applicable Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
(b) If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, (ii) the Applicable Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17 or if any Lender delivers a notice pursuant to Section 2.25, or (iii) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the Applicable Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under the Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Applicable Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and if a Revolving Commitment is being assigned, the Issuing Banks and the Swingline Lender), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder (including any amounts under Sections 2.12 and 2.16 but subject to Section 2.26(a)), from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Applicable Borrower (in the case of all other amounts including the fees

set forth in Section 2.12, which shall be payable and calculated as if the Applicable Borrower were making a prepayment to such assigning Lender), (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments and (iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
Section 2.20 Incremental Credit Extensions.
(a) Any Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time after the Closing Date, request (i) commitments to provide Term Loans of the same Tranche as any outstanding Term Loans (a “Term Loan Increase”), (ii) commitments to provide term Loans of a new Tranche denominated in an Agreed Currency (“Other Term Loan Commitments” and collectively with any Term Loan Increase, “Incremental Term Loan Commitments”), (iii) increases in the amount of Initial Revolving Commitments or then outstanding Other Revolving Loan Commitments (a “Revolving Commitment Increase”) or (iv) commitments to provide revolving Loans of a new Tranche available in one or more Agreed Currencies (“Other Revolving Loan Commitments” and collectively with any Revolving Commitment Increase, “Incremental Revolving Commitments”), in each case from one or more Incremental Term Lenders and/or Incremental Revolving Lenders (which, in each case, may include any existing Lender or any other bank or other financial institution (any such other bank or other financial institution, an “Additional Lender”), but shall be required to be Persons which would qualify as assignees of a Lender in accordance with Section 9.04) willing to provide such Incremental Term Loans and/or Incremental Revolving Commitments, as the case may be, in their own discretion. For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any Incremental Loans incurred by a Borrower that is organized in Ireland, each Incremental Lender shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.17, including the provision of an Irish Qualifying Lender Confirmation substantially in the form of Exhibit H (pursuant to which such Incremental Lender shall acknowledge that if it is not an Irish Qualifying Lender it will not be grossed up for any Irish withholding Tax applicable under relevant law as of the date such Incremental Lender becomes a party with respect to the Incremental Loans). Each notice provided pursuant to this Section 2.20 shall set forth (i) the type and amount of the Incremental Term Loan Commitments and/or Incremental Revolving Commitments being requested (which shall be in minimum increments of $1,000,000 and a minimum amount of $10,000,000), (ii) the date on which such Incremental Term Loan Commitments and/or Incremental Revolving Commitments are requested to become effective, (iii) in the case of Other Term Loan Commitments or Other Revolving Loan Commitments, the Agreed Currency or Agreed Currencies and (iv) whether such Incremental Commitments constitute a Term Loan Increase, Other Term Loan Commitments, a Revolving Commitment Increase or Other Revolving Loan Commitments.
(b) (A) The Applicable Borrower and each Incremental Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Amendment and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Incremental Commitment of such Incremental Lender. Each Incremental Amendment providing for

Incremental Term Loans shall specify the terms of the applicable Incremental Term Loans; provided that (i) the final maturity date of any Other Term Loans (excluding (x) Term A Facilities and (y) customary “bridge loan” facilities with a tenor of no longer than one year (provided that such facilities automatically convert or exchange into long-term debt otherwise meeting the requirements of this clause (i)) shall be no earlier than the Latest Maturity Date of any Class of Term Loans, (ii) such Class of Other Term Loans shall be denominated in an Agreed Currency, (iii) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Other Term Loans (excluding (x) Term A Facilities and (y) customary “bridge loan” facilities with a tenor of no longer than one year (provided that such facilities automatically convert or exchange into long-term debt otherwise meeting the requirements of this clause (iii)) shall be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Class of Term Loans with the Latest Maturity Date, (iv) with respect to any Other Term Loans made on or after the Closing Date, the Effective Yield of any Other Term Loans may be less than or exceed the Effective Yield then applicable to the Initial Term Loans; provided that in the case of Other Term Loans that are secured by Liens on Collateral that rank pari passu to the Liens securing the Initial Term Loans made prior to the date that is 24 months after the Closing Date (other than Term A Facilities) the Effective Yield of which exceeds the Effective Yield then applicable to the Initial Term Loans, the Applicable Margin for the Initial Term Loans is increased (to the extent necessary) such that the Effective Yield thereof is not less than the Effective Yield of such Other Term Loans minus 0.50%, (v) the covenants and events of default of any Other Term Loans shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent or shall not, when taken as a whole, be materially more favorable to the lenders or holders thereof than the relevant terms applicable to the Initial Term Loans then outstanding unless such terms are added for the benefit of the Lenders of the Term Loans then outstanding; provided that the Other Term Loans shall have mandatory prepayment requirements in amounts that are less than or equal to those required under Section 2.11(c); provided, further, that Term A Facilities may be subject to (x) the Financial Covenant set forth in Section 6.12(a) or (y) one or more financial maintenance covenants (and related events of default) (provided that such covenants shall be included for the benefit of the Revolving Commitments) and (vi) the terms of Incremental Term Loans under a Term Loan Increase shall be the same as the terms of the Term Loans of the Tranche that the Term Loan Increase is increasing (other than upfront fees and/or original issue discount). The Incremental Term Loans shall rank pari passu or junior in right of payment with the Initial Term Loans, shall be unsecured or secured on a pari passu or junior basis to the Initial Term Loans and shall not be (x) secured by any property or assets of Holdings or any Subsidiary other than the Collateral or (y) guaranteed by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries other than any Guarantor; provided that, if such Incremental Term Loans are unsecured or secured on a junior basis to the Initial Term Loans, such Incremental Term Loans will be established as a separate Tranche from the Term Loans. In the case of any junior lien Incremental Term Loans, such Indebtedness shall be subject to the terms of a First-Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement.
(B) Each Incremental Amendment providing for Incremental Revolving Commitments shall specify the terms of the applicable Incremental Revolving Commitments; provided that (i) the final maturity date of any Other Revolving Loans shall be no earlier than the Latest Maturity Date of any Class of Revolving Loans, (ii) such Class of Other Revolving Loans shall be denominated in one or more Agreed Currencies, (iii) such Other Revolving Loans may have mandatory commitment reduction terms that are not identical to the Initial Revolving Loans,

(iv) the covenants and events of default of any Other Revolving Loans shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent or shall not, when taken as a whole, be materially more favorable to the lenders or holders thereof than the relevant terms applicable to the Initial Revolving Loans unless such terms are added for the benefit of the Lenders of the Initial Revolving Loans then outstanding; provided that the Other Revolving Loans may benefit from one or more financial maintenance covenants (and related events of default) (provided that such covenants shall be included for the benefit of the Initial Revolving Loans) and (iv) the terms of Incremental Revolving Loans under a Revolving Commitment Increase shall be the same as the terms of the Revolving Loans of the Tranche that the Revolving Commitment Increase is increasing (other than upfront fees and/or original issue discount). The Incremental Revolving Loans shall rank pari passu in right of payment with the Initial Revolving Loans, shall be secured on a pari passu with the Initial Revolving Loans and shall not be (x) secured by any property or assets of Holdings or any Subsidiary other than the Collateral or (y) guaranteed by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries other than any Guarantor. The Incremental Revolving Loans shall be subject to the provisions of Section 2.05(d) and 2.06(k) to the extent dealing with Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit which mature or expire after a Maturity Date when there exists Incremental Revolving Commitments with a longer Maturity Date. Upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment with respect to Incremental Revolving Commitments, all Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit shall be participated on a pro rata basis by all Revolving Lenders in accordance with their Revolving Credit Exposure existing on such date.
(c) Subject to Section 2.19, each Lender may, at its option, make any Loan available to the Applicable Borrower or an Additional Borrower by causing any foreign or domestic branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan (in which case such branch or Affiliate shall be treated as the “Lender” with respect to such Loan for all purposes of this Agreement); provided that (x) any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Applicable Borrower or such Additional Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (y) if the respective branch or Affiliate is a Foreign Lender, the same shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.17, and (z) with respect to any Revolving Loans advanced to an Additional Borrower that is tax resident in Ireland, the Affiliate, whether or not a Foreign Lender, shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.17.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Incremental Commitment shall become effective under this Section 2.20 unless (i) at the time that any such Incremental Commitment is made (and after giving effect thereto), (A) no Event of Default shall exist; provided that, in the event that any tranche of Incremental Term Loans is used to finance a Limited Condition Transaction and to the extent the Incremental Term Lenders participating in such tranche of Incremental Term Loans agree, the foregoing clause (A) shall be tested solely as of the LCT Test Date, and (B) the representations and warranties of the Applicable Borrower set forth in this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects (other than to the extent qualified by materiality or “Material Adverse Effect”, in which case, such representations and warranties shall be true and correct); provided that, in the event that the tranche of Incremental Term Loans is used to finance a Limited Condition Transaction, the foregoing clause (B) shall be limited to the Specified Representations at the discretion of the applicable Incremental Lenders, (ii) the aggregate principal amount of all Incremental Term Loan Commitments and Incremental Revolving Commitments established under this Agreement, together with any Alternative

Incremental Facility Indebtedness incurred and any Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof, shall not exceed, as of any date of determination, the sum of (A) the greater of $1,160,000,000 and 100% of Consolidated EBITDA for the Test Period most recently ended on or prior to the date of such determination (the “Fixed Incremental Amount”), plus (B) an amount equal to the sum of all voluntary prepayments of Term Loans, Revolving Loans and Alternative Incremental Facility Indebtedness that is secured by a Lien on the Collateral that is pari passu with any Lien on the Collateral securing the Obligations; provided that, with respect to Revolving Loans and Alternative Incremental Facility Indebtedness in the form of revolving loans, such prepayment is accompanied by a permanent reduction in the revolving commitments therefore (the “Prepayment Incremental Amount”), plus (C) an unlimited amount so long as (1) in the case of any Indebtedness secured by a Lien on the Collateral that is pari passu with any Lien on the Collateral securing the Obligations, the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, determined on a Pro Forma Basis for the most recently ended Test Period prior to such date, would not exceed 5.00:1.00, (2) in the case of any Indebtedness secured by the Collateral on a junior lien basis relative to the Liens on such Collateral securing the Obligations, the Secured Net Leverage Ratio, determined on a Pro Forma Basis for the most recently ended Test Period prior to such date, would not exceed 5.25:1.00, and (3) in the case of unsecured Indebtedness, either (a) the Total Net Leverage Ratio, determined on a Pro Forma Basis for the most recently ended Test Period prior to such date, would not exceed 5.25:1.00 or (b) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, determined on a Pro Forma Basis for the most recently ended Test Period prior to such date, would not be less than 2.00:1.00 (the amount pursuant to this clause (C), the “Incurrence-Based Incremental Amount”); provided that, (i) for the avoidance of doubt, if, as part of the same transaction or series of related transactions, the Applicable Borrower incurs Indebtedness pursuant to the Incurrence-Based Incremental Amount and substantially concurrently also incurs Indebtedness (x) pursuant to the Fixed Incremental Amount and/or the Prepayment Incremental Amount or (y) otherwise constituting a Fixed Amount, then the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, Secured Net Leverage Ratio and/or Total Net Leverage Ratio, as applicable, will be calculated with respect to such incurrence pursuant to the Incurrence-Based Incremental Amount without regard to any such substantially concurrent incurrence of Indebtedness under the Fixed Incremental Amount, Prepayment Incremental Amount or any other Fixed Amount, (ii) the Applicable Borrower may elect to use the Incurrence-Based Incremental Amount regardless of whether there is capacity under the Fixed Incremental Amount and/or the Prepayment Incremental Amount, and if any Incremental Loans may be incurred under the Incurrence-Based Incremental Amount, the Fixed Incremental Amount or the Prepayment Incremental Amount and the Applicable Borrower does not make an election, the Applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred such Incremental Loans under the Incurrence-Based Incremental Amount and (iii) if at any time after any Borrower has incurred Incremental Loans under the Fixed Incremental Amount and/or the Prepayment Incremental Amount, any portion of such Incremental Loans could then be incurred under the Incurrence-Based Incremental Amount, such amounts shall automatically be reclassified to the Incurrence-Based Incremental Amount (the sum of the Fixed Incremental Amount, the Prepayment Incremental Amount and the Incurrence-Based Incremental Amount, after giving effect to any reclassification, the “Maximum Incremental Amount”). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Incremental Amendment. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment, this Agreement shall be amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Incremental Commitments (including

any mechanical or other amendments necessary to reflect the establishment of the Incremental Revolving Commitments) evidenced thereby. Any such deemed amendment may be memorialized in writing by the Administrative Agent with the Applicable Borrower’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) and furnished to the other parties hereto.
(e) The Incremental Amendment may, without the consent of any Agents (unless it directly adversely amends or modifies the rights or duties of any Agent) or Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Applicable Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.20 (including without limitation, (i) the addition of customary letter of credit, swingline and Defaulting Lender provisions with respect to any Incremental Revolving Lenders, (ii) the addition of a class vote of the Incremental Revolving Lenders for acceleration, waiver and amendment with respect to any particular Class of Incremental Revolving Loans), (iii) in the case of a Term Loan Increase, modifications to the amortization payment amount and/or the Applicable Margin of the applicable Tranche of Term Loans to provide that the then outstanding Term Loans and the Incremental Term Loans are fungible, (iv) to reset the terms of a Repricing Event to give effect to Incremental Term Loan Commitments and (iv) to implement any additional covenants applicable to the Incremental Loans and Incremental Commitments that, pursuant to this Section 2.20, may be applied to the then existing Loans and Commitments. The Applicable Borrower will use the proceeds of the Incremental Loans for general corporate purposes (including loans and other Investments in Holdings and its Subsidiaries as permitted herein, Permitted Acquisitions and Investments). Incremental Loans may be made by any existing Lender (but no existing Lender will have any obligation to make or provide any portion of any Incremental Loan) or by any other bank or other financial institution. No Lender shall be obligated to provide any Incremental Loans unless it so agrees.
(f) This Section 2.20 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.18 or 9.02 to the contrary.
Section 2.21 Judgment Currency.
If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due from an Applicable Borrower hereunder in the currency expressed to be payable herein (the “specified currency”) into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the specified currency with such other currency at the Administrative Agent’s main New York City office on the Business Day preceding that on which final, non-appealable judgment is given. The obligations of the Applicable Borrower and any Additional Borrower in respect of any sum due to any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than the specified currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal, reasonable banking procedures purchase the specified currency

with such other currency. If the amount of the specified currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency, the Applicable Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, against such loss, and if the amount of the specified currency so purchased exceeds (a) the sum originally due to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency and (b) any amounts shared with other Lenders as a result of allocations of such excess as a disproportionate payment to such Lender under Section 2.18, such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, agrees to remit such excess to the Borrowers.
Section 2.22 Extensions of Loans and Commitments.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, pursuant to one or more offers (each, an “Extension Offer”) made from time to time by the Applicable Borrower to (i) all Term Lenders of Term Loans of any Tranche with a like Maturity Date, and/or (ii) all Incremental Revolving Lenders with a like Maturity Date, in each case on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the respective Loans or the aggregate amount of the Commitments with the same Maturity Date, as the case may be, and using Dollar Amounts in the case of any amounts denominated in an Agreed Currency other than Dollars) and on the same terms to each such Lender, the Applicable Borrower may from time to time offer to extend the Maturity Date for any such Loans and otherwise modify the terms of such Loans and/or Commitments pursuant to the terms of the relevant Extension Offer (including by increasing the interest rate or fees payable in respect of such Loans and/or Commitments (and related outstandings) (each, an “Extension”), and each group of Loans or Commitments, as applicable, in each case of a given Tranche as so extended, as well as the original Loans and Commitments of the original respective Tranche (in each case not so extended), shall (for the avoidance of doubt) be part of a single Tranche; and any Extended Loans shall constitute a separate Class of Loans from the Class of Loans from which they were converted, so long as the following terms are satisfied:
(i) [reserved];
(ii) except as to interest rates, fees, amortization, final maturity date, premium, required prepayment dates and participation in prepayments (which shall, subject to the succeeding clauses (iii), (iv), (v), and (vi), be determined by the Applicable Borrower and set forth in the relevant Extension Offer), the Loans of any Term Lender extended pursuant to any Extension (“Extended Term Loans”) shall have the same terms as the Tranche of Loans subject to such Extension Offer;
(iii) except as to interest rates, fees and final maturity (which shall, subject to the requirements of this Section 2.22, be determined by the Applicable Borrower and set forth in the relevant Extension Offer), the Revolving Commitment, the Incremental Revolving Commitment or Other Refinancing Revolving Commitment of any Revolving Lender (an “Extending Revolving Lender”) extended pursuant to an Extension (an “Extended Revolving Commitment”), and the related outstanding, shall be a Revolving Commitment, Incremental Revolving Commitment or Other Refinancing

Revolving Commitment (or related outstandings, as the case may be) with the same terms as the original Revolving Commitments of the same Class, the Incremental Revolving Commitments or Other Refinancing Revolving Commitments (and related outstandings); provided that (x) subject to the provisions of Sections 2.05(d) and 2.06(k) to the extent dealing with Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans which mature or expire after a Maturity Date when there exist Extended Revolving Commitments with a longer Maturity Date, all Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans shall be participated in on a pro rata basis by all Lenders with Revolving Commitments and Incremental Revolving Commitments in accordance with their pro rata share of the aggregate Revolving Commitments and Incremental Revolving Commitments (and except as provided in Sections 2.05(d) and 2.06(k), without giving effect to changes thereto on an earlier Maturity Date with respect to Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit theretofore incurred or issued; provided that the commitment of the Issuing Banks to issue Letters of Credit can only be extended with the appropriate Issuing Banks’s consent) and all borrowings under Revolving Commitments of such Class and any related Incremental Revolving Commitments or Extended Revolving Commitments and repayments thereunder shall be made on a pro rata basis (except for (A) payments of interest and fees at different rates on Extended Revolving Commitments (and related outstandings) and (B) repayments required upon the Maturity Date for the non-extending Revolving Commitments of the same Class, or any related Incremental Revolving Commitments or Extended Revolving Commitments) and (y) at no time shall there be Revolving Commitments, Extended Revolving Commitments, Incremental Revolving Commitments and/or Other Refinancing Revolving Commitments hereunder (including Extended Revolving Commitments and any original Revolving Commitments) which have more than three different Maturity Dates;
(iv) the final maturity date for any Extended Term Loans shall be no earlier than the then Maturity Date for the Tranche of Loans so extended;
(v) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Extended Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Tranche of Term Loans extended thereby;
(vi) any Extended Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or a less than pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis) with the existing Tranches of Term Loans mandatory repayments or prepayments hereunder, in each case as specified in the respective Extension Offer;
(vii) if the aggregate principal amount of applicable Term Loans (calculated on the face amount thereof) or Revolving Commitments, as the case may be, in respect of which applicable Term Lenders or Revolving Lenders, as the case may be, shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of applicable Term Loans or Revolving Commitments, as the case may be, offered to be extended by the Applicable Borrower pursuant to such Extension Offer, then the applicable Term Loans or Revolving Loans, as the case may be, of the applicable Term Lenders or Revolving Lenders, as the case may be, shall be extended rateably up to

such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts (but not to exceed actual holdings of record) with respect to which such Term Lenders or Revolving Lenders, as the case may be, have accepted such Extension Offer;
(viii) all documentation in respect of such Extension shall be consistent with the foregoing,
(ix) the Extension shall not become effective unless, on the proposed effective date of the Extension, (x) the Applicable Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent one or more legal opinions reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and a certificate of an authorized officer of each Loan Party dated the applicable date of the Extension and executed by an authorized officer of such Loan Party certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting to such Extension and (y) the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 shall be satisfied (with all references therein to any Credit Event being deemed to be references to the Extension on the applicable date of the Extension) and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated the applicable date of the Extension and executed by a Financial Officer of Holdings;
(x) any applicable Minimum Extension Condition shall be satisfied unless waived by the Applicable Borrower; and
(xi) the Minimum Tranche Amount shall be satisfied unless waived by the Administrative Agent.
(b) With respect to all Extensions consummated by an Applicable Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.22, (i) such Extensions shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Section 2.11 and (ii) no Extension Offer is required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment; provided that (A) the Applicable Borrower may at its election specify as a condition (a “Minimum Extension Condition”) to consummating any such Extension that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Extension Offer in Borrowers’ sole discretion and may be waived by Applicable Borrower) of Loans or Commitments of any or all applicable Tranches and Classes be tendered and (B) no Tranche of Extended Loans or Extended Commitments shall be in an amount (taking the Dollar Amount of any amounts denominated in Agreed Currencies other than Dollars) of less than $2,500,000 (the “Minimum Tranche Amount”), unless such Minimum Tranche Amount is waived by the Administrative Agent. Subject to compliance with the terms of this Section 2.22, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereby consent to the Extensions and the other transactions contemplated by this Section 2.22 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Term Loans and/or Extended Revolving Commitments on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Offer) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.11 and 2.18) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.22.
(c) No consent of any Lender, Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent shall be required to effectuate any Extension, other than the consent of each

Lender agreeing to such Extension with respect to one or more of its Loans of any Class, Revolving Commitments or any Class and/or Other Refinancing Loans (or a portion thereof); provided that the consent of the Issuing Banks and the Swingline Lender shall be required to effect an Extension of Revolving Commitments. All Extended Loans and all obligations in respect thereof shall be Secured Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that are secured by all or a portion of the Collateral on a pari passu or junior lien basis with all other applicable Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that, if such Extended Loans rank junior in right of security with any other Obligations, such Extended Loans will be subject to the terms of a First-Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement. The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Borrowers as may be necessary in order to establish new Tranches or sub-tranches in respect of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments so extended and such other amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Applicable Borrower in connection with the establishment of such new Tranches or subtranches, in each case on terms consistent with this Section 2.22 (each an “Extension Amendment”).
(d) In connection with any Extension, the Applicable Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent at least five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior written notice thereof, and shall agree to such procedures, if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.22.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Lender shall be required to accept an Extension Offer.
Section 2.23 Loan Repurchases.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth or referred to below, a Purchasing Borrower Party may from time to time, at its discretion, conduct modified Dutch auctions in order to purchase its Term Loans of one or more Classes (as determined by the Purchasing Borrower Party) (each, a “Purchase Offer”), each such Purchase Offer to be managed exclusively by the Administrative Agent (or such other financial institution chosen by the Purchasing Borrower Party) (in such capacity, the “Auction Manager”), so long as the following conditions are satisfied:
(i) each Purchase Offer shall be conducted in accordance with the procedures, terms and conditions set forth in this Section 2.23 and the Auction Procedures;
(ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of the delivery of each notice of an auction and at the time of (and immediately after giving effect to) the purchase of any Term Loans in connection with any Purchase Offer);
(iii) the principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of each and all Classes of Term Loans that the Purchasing Borrower Party offers to purchase

in any such Purchase Offer shall be no less than U.S. $10,000,000 (unless another amount is agreed to by the Administrative Agent) (across all such Classes);
(iv) [reserved];
(v) the aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of all Term Loans of the applicable Class or Classes so purchased by the Purchasing Borrower Party shall automatically be cancelled and retired by the Purchasing Borrower Party on the settlement date of the relevant purchase (and may not be resold), and in no event shall the Purchasing Borrower Party be entitled to any vote hereunder in connection with such Term Loans;
(vi) no more than one Purchase Offer with respect to any Class may be ongoing at any one time;
(vii) any Purchase Offer with respect to any Class shall be offered to all Term Lenders holding Term Loans of such Class on a pro rata basis; and
(viii) no purchase of any Term Loans shall be made from the proceeds of any Revolving Loan or Swingline Loan.
(b) The Purchasing Borrower Party must terminate any Purchase Offer if it fails to satisfy one or more of the conditions set forth above which are required to be met at the time which otherwise would have been the time of purchase of Term Loans pursuant to such Purchase Offer. If the Purchasing Borrower Party commences any Purchase Offer (and all relevant requirements set forth above which are required to be satisfied at the time of the commencement of such Purchase Offer have in fact been satisfied), and if at such time of commencement the Purchasing Borrower Party reasonably believes that all required conditions set forth above which are required to be satisfied at the time of the consummation of such Purchase Offer shall be satisfied, then the Purchasing Borrower Party shall have no liability to any Term Lender for any termination of such Purchase Offer as a result of its failure to satisfy one or more of the conditions set forth above which are required to be met at the time which otherwise would have been the time of consummation of such Purchase Offer, and any such failure shall not result in any Default or Event of Default hereunder. With respect to all purchases of Term Loans of any Class or Classes made by the Purchasing Borrower Party pursuant to this Section 2.23, (x) the Purchasing Borrower Party shall pay on the settlement date of each such purchase all accrued and unpaid interest (except to the extent otherwise set forth in the relevant offering documents), if any, on the purchased Term Loans of the applicable Class or Classes up to the settlement date of such purchase, (y) such purchases (and the payments made by the Purchasing Borrower Party and the cancellation of the purchased Loans, in each case in connection therewith) shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Section 2.11 hereof and (z) such purchases of Initial Term Loans shall be made on a pro rata basis between the two Tranches of Initial Term Loans.
(c) The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the Purchase Offers and the other transactions effected pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.23; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no

Lender shall have an obligation to participate in any such Purchase Offer. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that the provisions of Sections 2.11, 2.12, 2.16, 2.18 and 9.04 will not apply to the purchases of Term Loans pursuant to Purchase Offers made pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.23. The Auction Manager acting in its capacity as such hereunder shall be entitled to the benefits of the provisions of Article VIII and Section 9.03 to the same extent as if each reference therein to the “Agents” were a reference to the Auction Manager, and the Administrative Agent shall cooperate with the Auction Manager as reasonably requested by the Auction Manager in order to enable it to perform its responsibilities and duties in connection with each Purchase Offer.
(d) This Section 2.23 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.18 or 9.02 to the contrary.
Section 2.24 Refinancing Amendment.
At any time after the Closing Date, the Applicable Borrower may obtain, from any Lender or any Refinancing Lender, Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of all or any portion of the Loans or Commitments of the Applicable Borrower then outstanding under this Agreement, in the form of Other Refinancing Loans or Other Refinancing Commitments in each case pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment; provided that such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness (i) will rank pari passu or, other than in the case of Other Refinancing Revolving Commitments and Other Refinancing Revolving Loans, junior in right of payment and of security with the other Loans and Commitments hereunder; provided that, if such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness ranks junior in right of security with any other Loans or Commitments hereunder, such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness will be subject to the terms of a First-Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, (ii) will have such maturity dates, pricing, interest rate margins, rate floors, discounts, premiums and optional prepayment or redemption terms as may be agreed by the Applicable Borrower and the Lenders thereof; and (iii) will otherwise comply with the proviso to the definition of “Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness”; provided further that any Person that provides any Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness in the form of Other Refinancing Revolving Loans or Other Refinancing Revolving Commitments to an Additional Borrower that is organized in Ireland shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.17, including the provision of an Irish Qualifying Lender Confirmation substantially in the form of Exhibit H (pursuant to which such Person shall acknowledge that if it is not an Irish Qualifying Lender it will not be grossed up for any Irish withholding Tax applicable under relevant law as of the date such Person provides such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness). Any Other Refinancing Loans or Other Refinancing Commitments, as applicable, may participate on a pro rata basis or on a less than pro rata basis (but not on a greater than pro rata basis) in any mandatory prepayments hereunder, as specified in the applicable Refinancing Amendment. The effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof of each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 and, if reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent at its option, receipt by the Administrative Agent of legal opinions, board resolutions, officers’ certificates and/or reaffirmation agreements generally consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date pursuant to Sections 4.01(b), (e) and (g) (other than changes to such legal opinions resulting from a change in law, change in fact or change to counsel’s form of opinion reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent).

Each Tranche of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness pursuant to this Section 2.24 shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $5,000,000 (unless such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness is incurred to refinance all outstanding Loans with respect to a Tranche). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender and the Collateral Agent as to the effectiveness of each Refinancing Amendment. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, this Agreement shall be deemed amended and restated or amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred pursuant thereto (including any amendments necessary to treat the Loans and Commitments subject thereto as Other Refinancing Term Loans and/or Other Refinancing Term Commitments). Any Refinancing Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders or any Agents (unless it directly adversely amends or modifies the rights or duties of any Agent), effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Applicable Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.24 (including without limitation, the addition of customary Defaulting Lender provisions with respect to any Lenders providing Other Refinancing Revolving Loans and Other Refinancing Revolving Commitments). This Section 2.24 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.18 or 9.02 to the contrary.
Section 2.25 Illegality.
If any Lender determines that any law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate, USD Term SOFR, USD Adjusted Term SOFR, USD Term SOFR Reference Rate or Daily Simple RFR with respect to any Agreed Currency, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate, USD Term SOFR, USD Adjusted Term SOFR, USD Term SOFR Reference Rate or Daily Simple RFR with respect to any Agreed Currency, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, any Agreed Currency in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Applicable Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (i) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurocurrency Loans, USD Term SOFR Loans or RFR Loans in such Agreed Currency or to convert ABR Loans to Eurocurrency Loans, USD Term SOFR Loans or RFR Loans in such Agreed Currency shall be suspended and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining ABR Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the USD Adjusted Term SOFR component of the Alternate Base Rate, the interest rate on which ABR Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the USD Adjusted Term SOFR component of the Alternate Base Rate. Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the Applicable Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurocurrency Loans, USD Term SOFR Loans or RFR Loans in such Agreed Currency of such Lender to ABR Loans (the interest rate on which ABR Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the USD Adjusted Term SOFR component of the Alternate Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Loans, USD Term SOFR Loans or RFR Loans to such day, or

immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Loans, USD Term SOFR Loans or RFR Loans and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate, USD Term SOFR, USD Adjusted Term SOFR or USD Term SOFR Reference Rate , the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Alternate Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the USD Adjusted Term SOFR component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate, USD Term SOFR, USD Adjusted Term SOFR or USD Term SOFR Reference Rate. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Applicable Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.
Section 2.26 Defaulting Lenders.
(a) 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) 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 “Required Lenders”.
(b) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Revolving Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender:
(i) fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Revolving Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(a);
(ii) the unused Commitment and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders or Required Revolving Lenders or Majority in Interest of Revolving Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 9.02); provided that this clause (ii) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such Lender or each Lender affected thereby under Section 9.02;
(iii) if any Swingline Exposure or LC Exposure exists at the time such Revolving Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:
(A) so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing: all or any part of the Swingline Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Percentages (after giving effect to the reallocation provisions of Sections 2.05(d) and 2.06(k)) but only to the extent (A) the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting

Lenders’ Revolving Commitments and (B) each non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure in respect of any Class does not exceed such non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment in respect of such Class; and all or any part of the LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Percentages (after giving effect to the reallocation provisions of Sections 2.05(d) and 2.06(k)) but only to the extent (C) the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Commitments;
(B) if the reallocations described in clause (A) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Applicable Borrower shall within one (1) Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Swingline Exposure and (y) second, Cash Collateralize for the benefit of the applicable Issuing Bank only the Applicable Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.06(j) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;
(C) if the Applicable Borrower Cash Collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause (B) above, the Applicable Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period (and to the extent) such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is Cash Collateralized;
(D) if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause (A) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.12(a) and Section 2.12(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable Percentages (after giving effect to the reallocation provisions of Sections 2.05(d) and 2.06(k)); and
(E) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither reallocated nor Cash Collateralized pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the applicable Issuing Bank or any other Lender hereunder, all letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.12(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Bank until and to the extent that such LC Exposure is reallocated and/or Cash Collateralized; and
(iv) so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding LC Exposure will be 100% covered by the Revolving Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrowers in accordance with Section 2.26(b)(iii),

and participating interests in any such newly made Swingline Loan or any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.26(b)(iii)(A) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).
(c) Defaulting Lender Cure. If a Lender ceases to be 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), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, take such actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the applicable Loans to be held pro rata by the applicable Lenders in accordance with the applicable Commitments, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Loans of any Class (other than Swingline Loans) of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers 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.
ARTICLE III
Representations and Warranties
In order to induce the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement on the Closing Date and to make each Loan or other extension of credit to be made hereunder on the Closing Date and on the date of each other Credit Event, each of the Loan Parties represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and Lenders that, (i) on the Closing Date (after giving effect to the Transactions), solely with respect to the Specified Representations, and (ii) on the date of each other Borrowing (other than as provided in Section 2.20), that each of the following statements are true and correct in all material respects:
Section 3.01 Organization; Powers; Subsidiaries. Each of Holdings and its Material Subsidiaries is duly organized or incorporated, as the case may be, and validly existing and (to the extent the concept is applicable in such jurisdiction) in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, has all requisite power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted and, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, is qualified to do business in, and (to the extent the concept is applicable in such jurisdiction) is in good standing in, every jurisdiction where such qualification is required. Schedule 3.01 hereto identifies each Subsidiary (other than Subsidiaries in respect of which Holdings and its Subsidiaries own less than 50% of the Equity Interests thereof) as of the Closing Date, noting whether such Subsidiary is a Material Subsidiary, whether such Subsidiary is an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the jurisdiction of its

incorporation or organization, as the case may be, the percentage of issued and outstanding shares of each class of its capital stock or other equity interests owned by Holdings and the other Subsidiaries and, if such percentage is not 100% (excluding directors’ qualifying shares as required by law), a description of each class issued and outstanding. All of the outstanding shares of capital stock and other equity interests of each Material Subsidiary are validly issued and outstanding and fully paid and non-assessable (as such term is determined under applicable law) and all such shares and other equity interests owned by Holdings or another Material Subsidiary are owned, beneficially and of record, by Holdings or such Material Subsidiary free and clear of all Liens, other than Liens created under the Loan Documents and Liens permitted by Section 6.02. As of the Closing Date (and except pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement), there are no outstanding commitments or other obligations of any Material Subsidiary to issue, and no options, warrants or other rights of any Person to acquire, any shares of any class of capital stock or other equity interests of any Material Subsidiary.
Section 3.02 Authorization; Enforceability. The Transactions are, subject to the Legal Reservations, within each Loan Party’s corporate or other organizational powers and have been (or, except with respect to the Loan Documents executed by one or more Loan Parties on the Closing Date, will on or prior to the Closing Date be) duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other organizational actions and, if required, actions by shareholders, members or equity holders. The Loan Documents to which each Loan Party is a party have been duly executed and delivered by such Loan Party and, subject to the Legal Reservations, constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party and, subject to the Legal Reservations and the Perfection Requirements, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law, and (ii) the effect of foreign laws, rules and regulations as they relate to pledges of Equity Interests in or Indebtedness owed by Foreign Subsidiaries (other than with respect to those pledges and security interests made under the laws of the jurisdiction of formation of the applicable Foreign Subsidiary).
Section 3.03 Governmental Approvals; No Conflicts. The Transactions (a) do not require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority, except such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect and except for (x) filings, notifications or registrations necessary to perfect Liens created pursuant to the Loan Documents and (y) consents, approvals, registrations, filings or other actions that will be obtained or made in connection with the Acquisition on or prior to the Closing Date, (b) will not violate any applicable law or regulation (except such non-compliance that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect) or the charter, by-laws or other Organizational Documents of Holdings or any of its Material Subsidiaries or any order of any Governmental Authority, (c) will not violate in any material respect or result in a default under any indenture, any material agreement or other material instrument (except such non-compliance that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect) binding upon Holdings or any of its Material Subsidiaries or its assets, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by Holdings or any of its Material Subsidiaries (other than the Indebtedness set forth on

Schedule 3.03), and (d) will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of Holdings or any of its Material Subsidiaries, other than Liens created under the Loan Documents.
Section 3.04 Financial Condition; No Material Adverse Change.
(a) Holdings has heretofore furnished to the Lenders (i) the audited condensed consolidated balance sheet and statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2018, December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2020 for Target and its subsidiaries, and (ii) the audited consolidated balance sheet and statements of comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity (loss) and cash flows as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2018, December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2020 for the Group. Such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position and results of operations and cash flows of Target and its subsidiaries and the financial position and results of operations and cash flows of the Group, as the case may be, as of such dates and for such periods in accordance with GAAP.
(b) Since December 31, 2020, there has been no material adverse change in the business, operations or condition, financial or otherwise, of the Group, taken as a whole.
Section 3.05 Properties.
(a) Each of Holdings and its Material Subsidiaries has good title to, or (to the knowledge of Holdings) valid leasehold interests in, all its real and personal property (excluding intellectual property, which is considered in Section 3.05(b)) material to its business, except for minor defects in title that do not interfere with its ability to conduct its business as currently conducted or to utilize such properties for their intended purposes.
(b) Each of Holdings and its Subsidiaries owns without restriction, free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Liens, or is licensed to use, all trademarks, trade names, copyrights, patents and other intellectual property used in or necessary to the business of Holdings and its Subsidiaries, except as could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. All such intellectual property is, to the knowledge of Holdings, valid and enforceable and all registrations and applications for such intellectual property are, to the knowledge of Holdings (to the extent such intellectual property is licensed from third parties), subsisting and have not expired or been abandoned except as could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as set forth in Schedule 3.05 attached hereto, Holdings’ Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2020 and the Target’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, no claim has been asserted or is pending by any Person challenging or questioning the use, scope, validity, effectiveness or ownership of any such intellectual property or alleging infringement, misappropriation, dilution or other violation by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries of any intellectual property owned by any other Person, nor does Holdings know of any valid basis for any such claim, except for such claims that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Except as would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, to the knowledge of Holdings, neither Holdings, its Subsidiaries, nor the operations of their businesses

(c) Without limiting the foregoing, but subject to the Agreed Guarantee and Security Principles and Section 5.09(e), Holdings will, and will cause each other Loan Party to, execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, to the Collateral Agent such documents, agreements and instruments, and will take or cause to be taken such further actions

(including the filing and recording of financing statements, fixture filings, deeds of trust and other documents and such other actions or deliveries of the type required by Section 4.01, as applicable), which may be required by law or which the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent may, from time to time, reasonably request to carry out the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to ensure perfection and priority of the Liens created or intended to be created by the Collateral Documents, all at the expense of Holdings.

(f) Subject to the proceeding sentence, Holdings shall ensure that the Guarantor Coverage Test is satisfied as of each Guarantor Coverage Test Date. If the Guarantor Coverage Test is not satisfied on any Guarantor Coverage Test Date: (i) Holdings shall ensure that within ninety (90) days after such Guarantor Coverage Test Date (or such later date as may be agreed upon by the Administrative Agent in the exercise of its reasonable discretion with respect thereto), such other Restricted Subsidiaries (as Holdings may elect in its sole discretion) shall, subject to and on terms consistent with the Agreed Guarantee and Security Principles, accede as Subsidiary Guarantors to ensure that the Guarantor Coverage Test is satisfied (calculated as if such Subsidiary Guarantors had been Subsidiary Guarantors at such Guarantor Coverage Test Date) by executing and delivering to the Collateral Agent (x) a Joinder Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit D (each a “Joinder Agreement”) and (y) each applicable Collateral Document (or a supplement thereto) (in each case in the form contemplated thereby and modified as required in order to comply with local laws in accordance with the Agreed Guarantee and Security Principles, if applicable) and (ii) if Holdings has satisfied its obligations under clause (i) above within such ninety (90) days after such Guarantor Coverage Test Date (or such later date as may be agreed upon by the Administrative Agent in the exercise of its reasonable discretion with respect thereto), no Default, Event of Default or other breach of the Loan Documents shall arise from failure to satisfy the Guarantor Coverage Test as of such Guarantor Coverage Test Date (and for avoidance of doubt, no Default or Event of Default shall arise prior to such 90th day after such Guarantor Coverage Test Date (or such later date as may be agreed upon by the Administrative Agent in the exercise of its reasonable discretion with respect thereto)).

The designation of any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary after the Closing Date shall constitute an Investment by the applicable Loan Party therein at the date of designation in an amount equal to the fair market value (as determined in good faith by Holdings) of the applicable Loan Party’s (or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries’) investment therein. The designation of any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary after the Closing Date shall constitute (i) the incurrence at the time of designation of any Indebtedness or Liens of such Subsidiary existing at such time and (ii) a return on any Investment by the applicable Loan Party in Unrestricted Subsidiaries pursuant to the preceding sentence in an amount equal to the fair market value at the date of such designation of such Loan Party’s Investment in such Subsidiary.

(j) one or more judgments for the payment of money in an aggregate amount in excess of the greater of $175,000,000 and 15% of Consolidated EBITDA for the Test Period most recently ended on or prior to the date of such determination (or the equivalent amount in any other currency) shall be rendered against Holdings or any Restricted Subsidiary or any combination thereof and the same shall remain undischarged for a period of sixty (60) consecutive days during which execution shall not be effectively stayed, vacated, discharged or

(n) any Collateral Document shall for any reason fail to create a valid and perfected first priority (subject to Permitted Liens) security interest in any material portion of the Collateral purported to be covered thereby, except as permitted by the terms of any Loan Document or the Agreed Guarantee and Security Principles, or as a result of any act or omission of the Administrative Agent so long as not resulting from the breach or non-compliance with any Loan Document by any Loan Party; or
(o) A Change of Control shall occur;
then, and in every such event (other than an event with respect to Holdings or any Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of this Section 7.01), and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such event, the Administrative Agent may, and, at the request of the Required Lenders, shall, by notice to the Borrowers, (I) declare the Revolving Commitments of each Revolving Lender and any obligation of the Issuing Banks to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit and the Swingline Lender to make Swingline Loans to be terminated, whereupon such Revolving Commitments and obligation will be terminated, (II) declare the Loans then outstanding to be due and payable in whole (or in part, in which case any principal not so declared to be due and payable may thereafter be declared to be due and payable), and thereupon the principal of the Loans so declared to be due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other Secured Obligations accrued hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, shall become due and payable immediately, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by each Borrower and each Guarantor and (III) require the Revolving Borrowers to Cash Collateralize the then outstanding Letters of

Credit (in an amount in cash equal to 102% of the Dollar Amount of the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon); and in case of any event with respect to Holdings or any Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of this Section 7.01, (I) the Revolving Commitments of each Revolving Lender and any obligation of the Issuing Banks to issue Letters of Credit and any obligation of the Swingline Lender to make Swingline Loans will automatically terminate, (II) the principal of the Loans then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other Secured Obligations accrued hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, shall automatically become due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by each Borrower and each Guarantor and (III) the obligation of the Revolving Borrowers to Cash Collateralize the Letters of Credit as aforesaid will automatically become effective; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if the only Events of Default then having occurred and continuing are pursuant to a Financial Covenant Event of Default, then, unless a Financial Covenant Cross Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall only take the actions set forth in this Section 7.01 at the request (or with the consent) of the Required Revolving Lenders (as opposed to the Required Lenders) and only with respect to the Revolving Commitments, Revolving Loans, Letters of Credit, Swingline Loans and obligations of the Revolving Lenders. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders shall, exercise any rights and remedies provided to the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents or at law or equity, including all remedies provided under the UCC.
Section 7.02 Borrowers’ Right to Cure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 7.01:
(a) For the purpose of determining whether an Event of Default under the Financial Covenant has occurred, Holdings may on one or more occasions designate any portion of the net cash proceeds from a sale or issuance of Qualified Equity Interests of Holdings or any contribution to the common capital of Holdings (or from any other contribution to capital or sale or issuance of any other Equity Interests) (the “Cure Amount”), as an increase to Consolidated EBITDA for the applicable fiscal quarter; provided that (i) such amounts to be designated are actually received by Holdings on or after the first day of such applicable fiscal quarter and on or prior to the twentieth (20th) Business Day after the date on which financial statements are required to be delivered with respect to such applicable fiscal quarter (the “Cure Expiration Date”), (ii) such amounts do not exceed the aggregate amount necessary to cure any Event of Default under the Financial Covenant as of such date and (iii) the Revolving Borrowers shall have provided notice to the Administrative Agent on the date such amounts are designated as a “Cure Amount” (it being understood that to the extent any such notice is provided in advance of delivery of a Compliance Certificate for the applicable period, the amount of such net cash proceeds that is designated as the Cure Amount may be different than the amount necessary to cure any Event of Default under the Financial Covenant and may be modified, as necessary, in a subsequent corrected notice delivered on or before the Cure Expiration Date (it being understood that in any event the final designation of the Cure Amount shall continue to be subject to the requirements set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above)). The Cure Amount used to calculate Consolidated EBITDA for one fiscal quarter shall be used and included when calculating Consolidated EBITDA for each Test Period that includes such fiscal quarter.

(b) The parties hereby acknowledge that this Section 7.02 may not be relied on for purposes of calculating any financial ratios other than for determining actual compliance with Section 6.12 (and not Pro Forma Basis with Section 6.12 that is required by any other provision of this Agreement) and shall not result in any adjustment to any amounts (including the amount of Indebtedness) or increase in cash (and shall not be included for purposes of determining pricing, mandatory prepayments and the availability or amount permitted pursuant to any covenant under Article VI) with respect to the fiscal quarter with respect to which such Cure Amount was made other than the amount of the Consolidated EBITDA referred to in Section 7.02(a).
(c) In furtherance of clause (a) above, (A) upon actual receipt and designation of the Cure Amount by one or more Borrowers, the Financial Covenant shall be deemed satisfied and complied with as of the end of the relevant fiscal quarter with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply with the Financial Covenant and any Event of Default under the Financial Covenant shall be deemed not to have occurred for purposes of the Loan Documents, and (B) upon delivery to the Administrative Agent prior to the Cure Expiration Date of a notice from Holdings stating its good faith intention to exercise its right set forth in this Section 7.02, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender may exercise any rights or remedies under Section 7.01 (or under any other Loan Document) on the basis of any actual or purported Event of Default under the Financial Covenant until and unless the Cure Expiration Date has occurred without the Cure Amount having been received and designated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Financial Covenant, the Revolving Borrowers shall not be able to request the making of any Revolving Loan or the issuance of any Letter of Credit under the Revolving Commitments during the period from the date on which the financial statements in respect of the applicable fiscal quarter or fiscal year are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or (b) until receipt by one or more Borrowers of the Cure Amount or waiver of the Event of Default.
(d) (i) In each period of four (4) consecutive fiscal quarters, there shall be at least two consecutive (2) fiscal quarters in which no cure right set forth in this Section 7.02 is exercised and (ii) there shall be no pro forma reduction in Indebtedness with the Cure Amount for determining compliance with the Financial Covenant for the fiscal quarter with respect to which such Cure Amount was made.
(e) There can be no more than five (5) fiscal quarters in which the cure rights set forth in this Section 7.02 are exercised during the term of the Revolving Commitments and any Extended Revolving Commitments in respect thereof.

Except as otherwise provided in this Section 8.01, the provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders, and the Borrowers shall not have rights as third-party beneficiaries of any of such provisions.
The banks serving as the Agents hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in their capacity as Lenders as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though they were not an Agent, and such banks and their Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with Holdings or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if they were not an Agent hereunder.

The Agents 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 believed by them to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Agents also may rely upon any statement made to them orally or by telephone and believed by them to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Agents may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for Holdings, the Subsidiary Guarantors or the Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by them, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by them in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, each Agent may refrain from acting in accordance with any instructions or requests given by the Lenders (or, in the case of the Collateral Agent, given by the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Lenders) unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability, cost and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action in compliance with the instruction or request. Each Agent shall

in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, as applicable in the case of the Collateral Agent, given by the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Lenders), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon the Lenders and all future Lenders.

The Agents may refrain without liability from doing anything that they determine, in reliance upon advice of legal counsel, would or might be contrary to any applicable Law (including but not limited to the Laws of the United States of America or any jurisdiction forming a part of it and of England and Wales) or any directive or regulation of any agency of any such state or jurisdiction and may without liability do anything which is, in its opinion in reliance upon the advice of legal counsel, necessary to comply with any such Law.
Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrowers. Any such resignation by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall also constitute its resignation as an Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender, as applicable, in which case the resigning Administrative Agent (x) shall not be required to issue any further Letters of Credit or make any additional Swingline Loans hereunder and (y) shall maintain all of its rights as Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender, as the case may be, with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it, or Swingline Loans made by it, prior to the date of such resignation. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right (with the consent of the Borrowers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that no consent of the Borrowers shall be required if an Event of Default under clause (a), (b), (h), (i) or (j) of Section 7.01 has occurred and is continuing) to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment

within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank (or another financial institution acceptable to Holdings). Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. 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 Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Section 8.01 and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent.
Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Collateral Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Collateral Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Borrowers. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right (with the consent of the Borrowers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that no consent of the Borrowers shall be required if an Event of Default under clause (a), (b), (h), (i) or (j) of Section 7.01 has occurred and is continuing) to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Collateral Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Collateral Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Collateral Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank.

The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Collateral Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After the Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Section 8.01 and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Collateral Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Collateral Agent.
Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
None of the Lenders, if any, identified in this Agreement as a Lead Arranger shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of such

Lenders shall have or be deemed to have a fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender hereby makes the same acknowledgments with respect to the relevant Lenders in their respective capacities as a Lead Arranger as it makes with respect to the Agents in the preceding paragraph.
The Lenders are not partners or co-venturers, and no Lender shall be liable for the acts or omissions of, or (except as otherwise set forth herein in case of the Agents) authorized to act for, any other Lender. The Agents shall have the exclusive right on behalf of the Lenders to enforce the payment of the principal of and interest on any Loan after the date such principal or interest has become due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
In their respective capacities, the Agents are “representatives” of the Secured Parties within the meaning of the term “secured party” as defined in the UCC. Each Lender authorizes the Agents to enter into each of the Collateral Documents to which it is a party and related documents in connection therewith and to take all action contemplated by such documents. Each Lender agrees that no Secured Party (other than the Agents) shall have the right individually to seek to realize upon the security granted by any Collateral Document, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised solely by the Agents for the benefit of the Secured Parties upon the terms of the Collateral Documents. In the event that any Collateral is hereafter pledged by any Person as collateral security for the Secured Obligations, the Agents are hereby authorized, and hereby granted a power of attorney, to execute and deliver on behalf of the Secured Parties any Loan Documents necessary or appropriate to grant and perfect a Lien on such Collateral in favor of the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties. The Lenders hereby authorize the Collateral Agent to release or, as applicable, subordinate any Lien granted to or held by the Collateral Agent upon any Collateral and to enter into non-disturbance or similar agreements, in each case, to the extent and in the circumstances described in Section 9.13. Upon request by the Collateral Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Collateral Agent’s authority to release or subordinate particular types or items of Collateral and enter into non-disturbance or similar agreements pursuant hereto.
The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent are authorized to (and at the request of the Borrowers will) enter into any Intercreditor Agreement (and any amendments, amendments and restatements, restatements or waivers of or supplements to or other modifications to, and extensions, restructuring, renewals, replacements of, such agreements) in connection with the incurrence by any Loan Party of any Permitted Junior Secured Refinancing Debt, Permitted Pari Passu Secured Refinancing Debt, Alternative Incremental Facility Indebtedness, Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness or Indebtedness incurred pursuant to clauses (1) and (2) of the proviso set forth in Section 6.01(a) with respect thereto, or any other Indebtedness permitted by the terms of this Agreement to be secured by the Collateral on a pari passu or junior priority secured basis, in each case in order to permit such Indebtedness to be secured by a valid, perfected Lien (with such priority as may be designated by Holdings or relevant Restricted Subsidiary, to the extent such priority is permitted by the Loan Documents), and the parties hereto acknowledge that each Intercreditor Agreement is (if entered into) binding upon them. Each Lender (a) understands, acknowledges and agrees that Liens may be created on the Collateral pursuant to the documentation relating to any Indebtedness incurred as permitted by this Agreement which is (in accordance with the terms hereof) to be secured thereby, on a pari passu, or junior, secured basis to the Liens securing the Secured Obligations, which Liens securing any such other Indebtedness shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the relevant

Intercreditor Agreement executed and delivered as required hereby, (b) hereby agrees that it will be bound by and will take no actions contrary to the provisions of the respective Intercreditor Agreement (if entered into) and (c) hereby authorizes and instructs the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent to enter into any Intercreditor Agreement (and any amendments, amendments and restatements, restatements or waivers of or supplements to or other modifications to, such agreements) in connection with the incurrence by any Loan Party of any secured Indebtedness as contemplated above, in order to permit such Indebtedness to be secured by a valid, perfected Lien (with such priority as may be designated by the Applicable Borrower or relevant Restricted Subsidiary, to the extent such priority is permitted by the Loan Documents), and to subject the Liens on the Collateral securing the Secured Obligations to the provisions thereof.
Section 8.02 Erroneous Payments.
(a) If the Administrative Agent notifies a Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party such Lender or Issuing Bank (any such Lender, Issuing Bank, Secured Party or other recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender, Issuing Bank, Secured Party or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(b) Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party such Lender or Issuing Bank, hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or

accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) in each case:
(i) (A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and
(ii) such Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.02(b).
(c) Each Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under immediately preceding clause (a) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.
(d) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Administrative Agent in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Lender or Issuing Bank that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Administrative Agent’s notice to such Lender or Issuing Bank at any time, (i) such Lender or Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but not its Commitments) of the relevant Class with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance), and is hereby (together with the Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to the Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and such parties are participants) with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender or Issuing Bank shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to Holdings or the Administrative Agent, (ii) the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender

shall become a Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender or assigning Issuing Bank shall cease to be a Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender or assigning Issuing Bank and (iv) the Administrative Agent may reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. The Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender or Issuing Bank shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender or Issuing Bank (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender or Issuing Bank and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In addition, each party hereto agrees that, except to the extent that the Administrative Agent has sold a Loan (or portion thereof) acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, the Administrative Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of the applicable Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party under the Loan Documents with respect to each Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”).
(e) The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by any Borrower or any other Loan Party, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from any Borrower or any other Loan Party for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.
(f) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine
(g) Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 8.02 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender or Issuing Bank, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.
(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, no Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates shall have any obligations or

liabilities directly or indirectly arising out of this Section 8.02 in respect of any Erroneous Payment (other than having consented to the assignment referenced in Section 8.02(d) above).

Section 9.02 Waivers; Enforcement; Amendments.
(a) (i) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Applicable Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 9.02, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance, extension or amendment of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.
(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in accordance with Article VII for the benefit of all the Lenders and the Issuing Banks.
(b) Except as provided in Section 2.14, Section 2.20 with respect to an Incremental Amendment, Section 2.22 with respect to an Extension Amendment and Section 2.24 with respect to a Refinancing Amendment, neither this Agreement, any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by (A) the Applicable Borrower and the Required Lenders or (B) by the Applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders (in each case other than, with respect to any amendment or waiver contemplated in clauses (viii), (ix) and (xi) below, which shall only require the consent of the Required Revolving Lenders under the applicable Class of Revolving Commitments, as applicable (and not the Required Lenders)); provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; provided that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to reduce or waive any obligation of any Borrower to pay interest or fees at the applicable default rate set forth in Section 2.13(d), (iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan (other than any reduction of the amount of, or any extension of the payment date for, the mandatory

prepayments required under Section 2.11, in each case which shall only require the approval of the Required Lenders), or any interest thereon (other than interest payable at the applicable default rate of interest set forth in Section 2.13(d)), or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.18(b) or (c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, (v) change any of the provisions of this Section 9.02 or the definitions of “Required Lenders” or “Majority in Interest” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender (it being understood that, solely with the consent of the parties prescribed by Section 2.20 or Section 2.24 to be parties to an Incremental Amendment or a Refinancing Amendment, as applicable, Incremental Loans and Other Refinancing Loans may be included in the determination of Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Term Loans are included on the Closing Date), (vi) except as provided in Section 9.13, release all or substantially all of the Guarantors from their obligations under the Guaranty without the written consent of each Lender, (vii) except as provided in Section 9.13 or in any Collateral Document, release all or substantially all of the Collateral, without the written consent of each Lender, (viii) amend, waive or otherwise modify any term or provision (including the waiver of any conditions set forth in Section 4.02 as to any credit extension under one or more Revolving Commitments) which directly affects Lenders under one or more Revolving Commitments and does not directly affect Lenders under any Term Loan Commitments, in each case, without the written consent of the Required Revolving Lenders under such applicable Class of Revolving Commitments (and in the case of multiple Revolving Commitments which are affected, such Required Revolving Lenders shall consent together as one Revolving Commitment); provided, however, that the waivers described in this clause (viii) shall not require the consent of any Lenders other than the Required Revolving Lenders under the applicable Class of Revolving Commitments; (ix) amend, waive or otherwise modify the Financial Covenant or any definition related thereto (solely in respect of the use of such defined terms in the Financial Covenant) or waive any Default or Event of Default resulting from a failure to perform or observe the Financial Covenant without the written consent of the Required Revolving Lenders (and in the case of multiple Revolving Commitments which are affected, such Required Revolving Lenders shall consent together as one Revolving Commitment); provided, however, that the amendments, waivers and other modifications described in this clause (ix) shall not require the consent of any Lenders other than the Required Revolving Lenders under the applicable Class of Revolving Commitments, (x) change any provisions of any Loan Document in a manner that by its terms adversely affects the rights in respect of payments due (including, for the avoidance of doubt, scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan (or any interest thereon), mandatory prepayments or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment) to Lenders holding Loans of any Class differently than those holding Loans of any other Class without the written consent of Lenders representing a Majority in Interest of each adversely affected Class, (xi) change the definition of “Required Revolving Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Revolving Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Revolving Lender; provided, however, that the amendments, waivers and other modifications described in this clause (xi) shall not require the consent of any

Lenders other than the Revolving Lenders under the applicable Class of Revolving Commitments or (xii) subordinate the Liens on the Collateral securing the Obligations to the Liens securing any other Indebtedness or subordinate the Obligations in right of payment to any other Indebtedness, other than indebtedness or liens in respect of which such subordination is permitted under Section 9.13 of this Agreement (as in effect on the Closing Date), in each case, without the written consent of each Lender; provided, further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Banks or the Swingline Lender hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Banks or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be; provided, further, this Agreement and any other Loan Document may be amended with the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers (and without the consent of any other party) to add parallel debt or other foreign law provisions that the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers determine are necessary or advisable with respect to the jurisdiction of organization or incorporation of any Loan Party.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement and any other Loan Document may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers (x) to add one or more credit facilities (in addition to the Incremental Term Loans pursuant to an Incremental Amendment and any Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment) to this Agreement and to permit extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Revolving Loans, the Term Loans, Incremental Term Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (y) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders and Lenders, and for purposes of the relevant provisions of Section 2.18(b).
(d) If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of “each Lender” or “each Lender directly affected thereby,” the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other necessary Lenders is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is necessary but not obtained being referred to herein as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then the Applicable Borrower may elect to (i) if no Event of Default exists, permanently prepay all of the Loans of any Class owing by it to, and terminating any Commitments of, each such Non-Consenting Lender or (ii) replace a Non-Consenting Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement; provided that, concurrently with such replacement, (i) another bank or other entity (which is reasonably satisfactory to the Applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent) shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash the Loans and other Obligations due to the Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Non-Consenting Lender to be terminated as of such date and to comply with the requirements of clause (b) of Section 9.04, and (ii) the Applicable Borrower shall pay to such Non-Consenting Lender in same day funds on the day of such replacement (1) all interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Non-Consenting Lender by each Borrower hereunder to and including the date of termination, including without limitation payments due to such Non-Consenting Lender under Sections 2.15 and 2.17, (2) an amount, if any, equal to the payment which would have been due to such Lender on the day of such replacement under Section 2.19

had the Loans of such Non-Consenting Lender been prepaid on such date rather than sold to the replacement Lender and (3) any amounts owing to such Lender pursuant to Section 2.12. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Applicable Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Each party hereto agrees that an assignment required pursuant to this clause (d) may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Applicable Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee and that the Non-Consenting Lender required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto, and each Lender hereby authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver such documentation as may be required to give effect to an assignment in accordance with Section 9.04 on behalf of a Non-Consenting Lender and any such documentation so executed by the Administrative Agent shall be effective for purposes of documenting an assignment pursuant to Section 9.04.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) if following the date hereof, the Administrative Agent and any Loan Party shall have jointly identified an ambiguity, inconsistency, obvious error or any error or omission of a technical or immaterial nature, in each case, in any provision of the Loan Documents, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall be permitted to amend such provision and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Documents if the same is not objected to in writing by the Required Lenders within five (5) Business Days following receipt of notice thereof (which notice shall be given at least five (5) Business Days prior to any such amendment) and (ii) guarantees, collateral security agreements, pledge agreements and related documents (if any) executed by the Loan Parties in connection with this Agreement may be in a form reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and may be amended, supplemented and/or waived with the consent of the Administrative Agent at the request of any Borrower without the input or need to obtain the consent of any other Lenders if such amendment or waiver is delivered in order (x) to comply with local law or advice of local counsel, (y) to cure ambiguities, omissions or defects or (z) to cause such guarantees, collateral security agreements, pledge agreement or other documents to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, the Revolving Commitments, Term Loans and Revolving Credit Exposure of any Lender that is at the time a Defaulting Lender or Disqualified Lender shall not have any voting or approval rights under the Loan Documents and shall be excluded in determining whether all Lenders (or all Lenders of a Class), all affected Lenders (or all affected Lenders of a Class), a Majority in Interest of Lenders of any Class or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to this Section 9.02); provided that (x) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender or Disqualified Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that affects any Defaulting Lender or Disqualified Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender or Disqualified Lender.
Section 9.03 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

(a) Holdings and the Borrowers shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agents, the Lead Arrangers and their respective Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Agents, in connection with the syndication and distribution (including, without limitation, via the internet or through a service such as IntraLinks) of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation 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 the Issuing Banks in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel (other than in-house counsel) for the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement and any other Loan Document, including its rights under this Section 9.03, or 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Holdings or the Borrowers be required to reimburse the Lenders for more than one counsel to the Agents and the Lenders taken as a whole (and up to one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction and regulatory counsel, and solely in the event of any actual or potential conflict of interest, one additional counsel in each relevant jurisdiction to each group of similarly situated affected persons taken as a whole); provided, that same shall be limited to (A) one counsel to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and for the Lenders (taken together as a single group or client), (B) if necessary, one local counsel required in any relevant local jurisdiction and applicable special regulatory counsel and (C) if representation of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and/or all Lenders in such matter by a single counsel would be inappropriate as determined by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and/or all Lenders due to the existence of an actual or potential conflict of interest, one additional counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and for each Lender subject to such conflict.
(b) Holdings and the Borrowers shall, and jointly and severally agree to, indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lead Arrangers and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the Issuing Bank 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 of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by Holdings or any of

its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related to Holdings 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 and regardless of whether (x) any Indemnitee is a party thereto or (y) such matter is initiated by a third party or by Holdings, any of its affiliates, equity holders, security holders or creditors; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (w) other than with respect to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, resulted from a material breach of the Loan Documents by such Indemnitee (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment), (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 any of its Related Parties, (y) other than with respect to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, result from a claim brought by any Loan Party against any Indemnitee for a material breach of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment) (it being understood and agreed that the failure by any Lender to fund any portion of its Term Loan Commitment hereunder when the conditions set forth in Section 4.01 have been satisfied and/or waived in accordance with this Agreement shall be deemed a material breach, and (z) result from disputes solely among Indemnitees not involving any act or omission of any Loan Party or any of their respective Related Parties (other than a dispute against the Agents or the Lead Arrangers in their capacities as such). Without limiting or expanding the provisions of Section 2.17(c), this Section 9.03(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. from a non-Tax claim.
(c) To the extent that Holdings or the Borrowers fail to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Banks or the Swingline Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 9.03, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, and each Revolving Lender severally agrees to pay to the Issuing Banks or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount (it being understood that the Borrowers’ failure to pay any such amount shall not relieve the Borrowers of any default in the payment thereof); 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, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Banks or the Swingline Lender in its capacity as such.
(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, neither Holdings nor any Borrower shall assert, and hereby waive, any claim against any Indemnitee (i) for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems (including the Internet) other than damages that 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 any of its Related Parties, or (ii) 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 or thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.
(e) All amounts due under this Section 9.03 shall be payable not later than fifteen (15) days after written demand therefor.
Section 9.04 Successors and Assigns.
(a) 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 (including any branch or Affiliate of any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) neither Holdings nor any Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of their rights or obligations hereunder (and any attempted assignment or transfer by Holdings or any Borrower shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except to an Eligible Transferee. 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 (including any branch or Affiliate of any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section 9.04) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (other than (x) Holdings and its Affiliates, except to the extent permitted in Section 2.23 and (y) any Person that is not an Eligible Transferee) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent of:
(A) Holdings (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); provided that Holdings shall be deemed to have consented to any assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received written notice thereof; provided, further, that no consent of Holdings shall be required for (x) any assignment by any Agent or Lead Arranger (or any affiliate thereof) of Term Loans or related commitments pursuant to the primary syndication of such Term Loans and related commitments or (y) an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee;
(B) the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of all or any portion of a Term Loan to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and
(C) the Issuing Banks and the Swingline Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld); provided that no consent of any

Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender shall be required for an assignment of all or any portion of a Term Loan or any related commitment.
(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:
(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the applicable Commitment or 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) shall not be less than $5,000,000 (in the case of Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans) or $1,000,000 (in the case of a Term Loan) unless each of the Applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent; provided that no such consent of the Applicable Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and this clause shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of one Class of Commitments or Loans;
(B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided that this clause shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of one Class of Commitments or Loans;
(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, such fee to be paid by either the assigning Lender or the assignee Lender or shared between such Lenders, and which fee may be waived at the discretion of the Administrative Agent;
(D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about Holdings and its affiliates and their Related Parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws;
(E) without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, no assignment shall be made to a prospective assignee that bears a relationship to the Applicable Borrower as described in Section 108(e)(4) of the Code;

(F) if, at the time of any assignment, the respective assignee would be entitled to greater increased cost payments pursuant to Section 2.15 than those that apply to the respective assignor, then the respective assignee shall not be entitled to charge the Borrowers for any such increased costs which would otherwise be owed to it pursuant to Section 2.15, but in each case only to the extent in excess of those that would have applied to the respective assignor at the time of such assignment; and
(G) the U.S. Term Loans and the Lux Term Loans shall trade as a strip, and each assignment of Initial Term Loans from any Term Lender to an assignee shall consist of an equal percentage of the respective principal amounts of such Assignor’s U.S. Term Loans and Lux Term Loans (i.e., the percentage of the principal amount of an assignor’s U.S. Term Loans that are assigned shall equal the percentage of the principal amount of such assignor’s Lux Term Loans that are assigned).
For the purposes of this Section 9.04(b), the term “Approved Fund” has the following meaning:
“Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is (or will be) engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in commercial loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered, advised or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.
(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section 9.04, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto 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 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 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 paragraph (c) of this Section 9.04.
(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices located in the United States a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of and interest on the Loans and LC Disbursements 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, the Issuing Banks 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, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and, with respect to its interest, any Issuing Banks and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 9.04 and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section 9.04, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.07(b), 2.18(d) or 9.03(c), the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.
(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Applicable Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or the Swingline Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (excluding (x) Holdings, the Borrowers and their respective Affiliates and (y) any Person that is not an Eligible Transferee) (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (C) Holdings, the Borrowers and any Additional Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and (D) without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, no participation shall be sold to a prospective participant that bears a relationship to the Applicable Borrower described in Section 108(e)(4) of the Code. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section 9.04, the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein including the requirements under Section 2.17(e) and (h), it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.17(e) shall be delivered to the participating Lender (except in the case of an Irish Treaty Lender, where the documentation shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Applicable Borrower or Additional Borrower) and the documentation required under Section 2.17(h) and the documentation required for the purposes of satisfying the procedural formalities referred to in paragraph (4) of the definition of

“Irish Qualifying Lender” (if required) shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower or Additional Borrower)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 9.04. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender; provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender.
(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15 or 2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrowers’ prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the applicable Borrower and Additional 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 5f.103-1(c) or Proposed Section 1.163-5(b) of the United States Treasury Regulations (or, in each case, any amended or successor version) and/or Irish law to the extent necessary to claim exemption from applicable Irish tax. 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.
(d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any other central bank, and this Section 9.04 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
(e) In the case of any assignment or transfer by a Lender to a new Lender, or any participation by such Lender in favor of a Participant, of all or any part of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, such Lender and the new Lender or Participant (as applicable) hereby agree that, for the purposes of Article 1278 and/or Article 1281 of the Luxembourg Civil Code (to the extent applicable), any assignment, amendment and/or transfer of any kind permitted under, and made in accordance with the provisions of, this Agreement or any agreement referred to herein to which a

Luxembourg Loan Party is a party (including any Collateral Document), any security created or guarantee given under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be preserved and shall continue in full force and effect for the benefit of such new Lender or Participant (as applicable).
(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no assignment may be made or participation sold to a Disqualified Lender without the prior written consent of Holdings; provided that upon inquiry by any Lender to the Administrative Agent as to whether a specified potential assignee or prospective participant is on the list of Disqualified Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall be permitted to disclose to such Lender whether such specified potential assignee or prospective participant is on the list of Disqualified Lenders; provided, further, that inclusion on the list of Disqualified Lenders shall not apply retroactively to disqualify any persons that have previously acquired an assignment or participation in the Loan if such person was not included on the list of Disqualified Lenders at the time of such assignment or participation. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, if any Lender was a Disqualified Lender at the time of the assignment of any Loans or Commitments to such Lender, following written notice from the Applicable Borrower to such Lender and the Administrative Agent and otherwise in accordance with Section 2.19(b), as applicable: (1) such Lender shall promptly assign all Loans and Commitments held by such Lender to an Approved Fund; provided that (A) the Administrative Agent shall not have any obligation to the Borrowers, such Lender or any other Person to find such a replacement Lender, (B) the Borrowers shall not have any obligation to such Disqualified Lender or any other Person to find such a replacement Lender or accept or consent to any such assignment to itself or any other Person subject to the Borrowers’ consent in accordance with Section 9.04(b) and (C) the assignment of such Loans and/or Commitments, as the case may be, shall be at par plus accrued and unpaid interest and fees; (2) such Lender shall not have any voting or approval rights under the Loan Documents and shall be excluded in determining whether all Lenders (or all Lenders of any Class), all affected Lenders (or all affected Lenders of any Class), a Majority in Interest of Lenders of any Class or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 9.02); provided that (x) the Commitment of any Disqualified Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that affects any Disqualified Lender adversely and in a manner that is disproportionate to other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Disqualified Lender; and (3) no Disqualified Lender is entitled to receive information provided solely to Lenders by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or will be permitted to attend or participate in meetings attended solely by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, other than the right to receive notices of Borrowings, notices of prepayments and other administrative notices in respect of its Loans or Commitments required to be delivered to Lenders pursuant to Article II.
(g) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any Lender may assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations with respect to the Term Loans or the Term Loan Commitments, under this Agreement to Holdings, a Borrower or any Subsidiaries through open market purchases on a pro-rata or non-pro rata basis, in each case subject to the following limitations:

(i) (x) if the assignee is Holdings or a Subsidiary, upon such assignment, the applicable assignee will automatically be deemed to have contributed or transferred the principal amount of such Term Loans, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, to a Borrower or (y) if the assignee is a Borrower, (including through the contribution or other transfers set forth in clause (x)), the principal amount of such Term Loans, along with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, so contributed, assigned or transferred to such Borrower (with the consent of such Borrower) in exchange for debt or equity securities will be deemed automatically cancelled and extinguished upon such assignment, contribution or transfer;
(ii) no Event of Default shall be continuing or shall result therefrom immediately prior to or after such assignment; and
(iii) the U.S. Term Loans and the Lux Term Loans shall trade as a strip, and each assignment of Initial Term Loans from any Term Lender to an assignee shall consist of an equal percentage of the respective principal amounts of such Assignor’s U.S. Term Loans and Lux Term Loans (i.e., the percentage of the principal amount of an assignor’s U.S. Term Loans that are assigned shall equal the percentage of the principal amount of such assignor’s Lux Term Loans that are assigned); and
(iv) no assignment of any Term Loans or Term Loan Commitments shall be made from the proceeds of any Revolving Loan or Swingline Loan.
Section 9.05 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document is outstanding and unpaid (except for Unliquidated Obligations) or any Letter of Credit is outstanding (unless such Letter of Credit has been Cash Collateralized) and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any provision hereof or thereof.
Section 9.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to

fees payable to the Agents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall become effective upon the delivery by the Agents, the Lenders, Holdings, the Borrowers and each Subsidiary Guarantor of executed counterparts of the signature page to this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, the Commitments shall become enforceable by the Borrowers. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or by email as a “.pdf” or “.tif” attachment shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. The words “execution,” “signed”, “signature” and words of like import herein shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, the electronic matching of assignment terms and contract formations on the electronic platform DocuSign, digital copies of a signatory’s manual signature and deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature to the extent and as provided in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.
Section 9.07 Severability. Any provision of any Loan Document held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions thereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.
Section 9.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final and in whatever currency denominated) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower or any Guarantor against any of and all of the Secured Obligations held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under the Loan Documents and although such obligations may be unmatured; provided that any recovery by any Lender or any Affiliate pursuant to its setoff rights under this Section 9.08 is subject to the provisions of Section 2.18(c). The rights of each Lender under this Section 9.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.
Section 9.09 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process; Foreign Process Agent.
(a) This Agreement and each other Loan Document (except, as to any other Loan Document, as expressly set forth therein) shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York; provided, however, that (i) the interpretation of the definition of “Company Material Adverse Effect” and whether there shall have occurred a “Company Material Adverse Effect”, (ii) whether the Acquisition has been consummated in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Acquisition Agreement, and (iii) whether the representations and warranties made by Target and its Subsidiaries in the Acquisition Agreement

are true and correct and whether as a result of any failure thereof Holdings (or its applicable Subsidiaries) has the right to terminate its obligations under the Acquisition Agreement (or the right not to consummate the Acquisition pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement) shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regards to conflicts of laws principles that would result in the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.
(b) Each of Holdings, each Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Loan Party or its properties in the courts of any competent jurisdiction.
(c) Each of Holdings, each Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent they may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 9.09.

Such service may be made by mailing or delivering a copy of such process to Holdings and each Subsidiary Guarantor in care of the Process Agent at the address specified above for the Process Agent, and Holdings and each Subsidiary Guarantor irrevocably authorizes and directs the Process Agent to accept such service on its behalf. Failure by the Process Agent to give notice to Holdings and each Subsidiary Guarantor or failure of Holdings and each Subsidiary Guarantor to receive notice of such service of process shall not impair or affect the validity of such service on the Process Agent, Holdings and each Subsidiary Guarantor, or of any judgment based thereon. Holdings and each Subsidiary Guarantor covenants and agrees

that it shall take any and all reasonable action, including the execution and filing of any and all documents that may be necessary to continue the delegation of the Process Agent above in full force and effect, and to cause the Process Agent to act as such. Holdings and each Subsidiary Guarantor hereto further covenants and agrees to maintain at all times an agent with offices in New York City to act as its Process Agent. Nothing herein shall in any way be deemed to limit the ability to serve any such writs, process or summonses in any other manner permitted by applicable law.

Each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Swingline Lender, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and its and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (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 regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or 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 to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any suit, 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 9.12, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective 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 relating to Holdings or its Restricted Subsidiaries and their obligations, (g) on a confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating Holdings or its Subsidiaries or the facilities evidenced by this Agreement

or (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the facilities evidenced by this Agreement, (h) with the prior written consent of Holdings, (i) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 9.12 by the disclosing party or its Affiliates, (ii) is independently developed by the Agents or (iii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than Holdings or any Borrower, (j) in consultation with the Lead Arrangers, to any prospective additional Agent and to such additional Agent’s respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys, accountants and advisors, in each case on a confidential basis or (k) for purposes of establishing a “due diligence” defense. For the purposes of this Section 9.12, “Information” means all information received from Holdings or any Borrower relating to Holdings or any Borrower or their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by Holdings or any Borrower. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 9.12 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.
Section 9.13 Release of Liens and Guarantees.
(a) A Subsidiary Guarantor (that is not a Borrower) shall automatically be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents upon the consummation of any transaction permitted by this Agreement as a result of which such Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary or ceases to be organized in a Covered Jurisdiction. In addition, a Subsidiary Guarantor (that is not a Borrower) shall be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents upon the request of Holdings in connection with a transaction not prohibited under this Agreement, as a result of which such Subsidiary Guarantor becomes an Excluded Subsidiary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Subsidiary Guarantor (nor the security interest granted by such Subsidiary Guarantor) will be released solely as a result of such Subsidiary Guarantor ceasing to be a wholly-owned Subsidiary unless such Subsidiary ceased to be a wholly-owned Subsidiary as a result of a transaction that was entered into for a bona fide business purpose (as determined in good faith by Holdings) and, for the avoidance of doubt, not for the primary purpose of causing such release.
(b) Upon the termination of all the Commitments and payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all Secured Obligations (other than Unliquidated Obligations for which no claim has been made and Secured Obligations with respect to Cash Management Agreements and Swap Agreements), the security interests in the Collateral created by the Collateral Documents shall be automatically released.
(c) Upon (i) any Disposition (other than any lease or license) by any Loan Party (other than to another Loan Party, except where, in any jurisdiction outside of the United States, in order to effect such Disposition the Lien on such assets is required to be released (provided that in the case of such Disposition to another Loan Party outside of the United States, such other Loan Party shall concurrently (or on such later date as may be agreed by the

Administrative Agent) grant a security interest on the released Collateral)) of any Collateral in a transaction permitted under this Agreement, (ii) any Disposition in connection with any exercise of remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders pursuant to Article VII, (iii) any Disposition by any Loan Party of any Securitization Assets in connection with a Qualified Securitization Financing or a Qualified Receivables Factoring, (iv) the effectiveness of any written consent to the release of the security interest created under any Collateral Document in any Collateral pursuant to Section 9.02, (v) a Guarantor ceasing to be a Guarantor in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, with respect to the Collateral held by such Guarantor or (vi) any Collateral becoming Excluded Assets, the security interests in such Collateral created by the Collateral Documents shall be automatically released.
(d) In addition, upon the request of any holder (or prospective holder) of obligations secured by such Lien or, in the case of a license or sub-license, the applicable licensee or sub-licensee (or prospective licensee or sub-licensee), the Collateral Agent shall, at the reasonable request of any Borrower, (A) subordinate any Lien on any Collateral to the holder of any Liens on such Collateral permitted under clauses (4), (5), (7) (insofar as such Liens are replacements or substitutes for Liens permitted by clause (4) or (5)), (9), (10), (11), (21), (22) and (25) of the definition of “Permitted Liens,” and (B) enter into subordination, non-disturbance and similar agreements in connection with the licensing of intellectual property and other general intangibles permitted under this Agreement to the extent reasonably requested by a licensee or sub-licensee thereof.
(e) In connection with any termination, release or subordination, or in connection with any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to Section 6.01(b)(xvi)(ii) or in connection with any licensing or sub-licensing transactions permitted pursuant to Sections 6.02 and 6.03, the entry into non-disturbance or similar agreement, in each case, pursuant to this Section 9.13, the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver to any Loan Party, at such Loan Party’s expense, all documents that such Loan Party shall reasonably request to evidence such termination, release or subordination, or reasonably required in order to reflect such non-disturbance or similar agreement; provided, however, that (i) the Collateral Agent shall have received a certificate of a Responsible Officer of Holdings certifying that any such transaction has been consummated in compliance with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and that such termination, release or subordination is permitted hereby, and (ii) any such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Secured Obligations or any Liens upon (or obligations of Holdings or any Subsidiary in respect of) all interests retained by Holdings or any Subsidiary, including (without limitation) the proceeds of the sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 9.13 shall be without representation, recourse to or warranty by the Collateral Agent.
Section 9.14 USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “USA Patriot Act”) hereby notifies each Loan Party that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies such Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of such Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the USA Patriot Act.

Section 9.15 Appointment for Perfection. Each Lender hereby appoints the Collateral Agent and each other Lender as its agent for the purpose of perfecting Liens, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC or any other applicable law can be perfected by possession. Should any Lender (other than the Collateral Agent) obtain possession of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify the Collateral Agent thereof, and, promptly upon the Administrative Agent’s request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to the Collateral Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with the Collateral Agent’s instructions.
Section 9.16 No Fiduciary Relationship. Each of Holdings and Borrower, on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries, agrees that, in connection with all aspects of the transactions contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) and any communications in connection therewith: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Lenders are arm’s-length commercial transactions between Holdings and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Lenders and their Affiliates, on the other hand, (B) it has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) it 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 Lenders and their Affiliates 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 Holdings, any Borrower or any of their respective Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) no Lender or any of its Affiliates has any obligation to Holdings, any Borrower or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except, in the case of a Lender, those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) each of the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of Holdings and its Affiliates, and no Lender or any of its Affiliates has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to Holdings, the Borrowers or their respective Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Holdings and the Borrowers hereby waive and release any claims that they may have against each of the Lenders and their Affiliates with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.
Section 9.17 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.

Section 9.18 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
(i) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and
(ii) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:
(A) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
(B) 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
(C) 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.

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 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 Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, 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 Commitments and this Agreement, or

Section 9.20 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any Permitted Hedging Obligations 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 Dodd-Frank Wall 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 9.20, the following terms have the following meanings:
“BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.
“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).

Each Guarantor hereby further jointly and severally agrees that if any of the Secured Obligations are not paid in full in cash when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory cash collateralization or otherwise), each Guarantor will promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Secured Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full in cash when due (whether at extended maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory cash collateralization or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal.
(b) Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of this Guaranty, the Administrative Agent and each other Secured Party, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such Persons that this Guaranty and the Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of any Debtor Relief Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar foreign, federal or state law to the extent applicable to this Guaranty and the Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Administrative Agent, the other Secured Parties and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the Obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty at any time shall be limited to the maximum amount as will result in the Obligations of such Guarantor under this Guaranty not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under applicable law after giving full effect to such Guarantor’s contribution rights but before taking into account any liabilities of such Guarantor under any other guarantee of such Guarantor.
Section 10.02 Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of the Guarantors under Section 10.01 are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents or other documents relating to the Secured Obligations, or any substitution, release, impairment or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Secured Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor (other than payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations, other than Unliquidated Obligations for which no claim has been made), it being the intent of this Section 10.02 that the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances. Each Guarantor agrees that it shall have no right of subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement or contribution against any other Guarantor for amounts paid under this Article X until such time as the Secured Obligations (other than Unliquidated Obligations for which no claim has been made) have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and the Commitments have expired or terminated. Without limiting the generality of

the foregoing, it is agreed that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of any Guarantor hereunder, which shall remain absolute and unconditional as described above:
(a) at any time or from time to time, without notice to any Guarantor, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Secured Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;
(b) the maturity of any of the Secured Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Secured Obligations shall be modified, supplemented or amended in any respect, or any right under any of the Loan Documents or other documents relating to the Secured Obligations shall be waived or any other guarantee of any of the Secured Obligations or any security therefor shall be released, impaired or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with;
(c) any Lien granted to, or in favor of, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other holder of the Secured Obligations as security for any of the Secured Obligations shall fail to attach or be perfected;
(d) any of the Secured Obligations shall be determined to be void or voidable (including, without limitation, for the benefit of any creditor of any Guarantor) or shall be subordinated to the claims of any Person (including, without limitation, any creditor of Guarantor);
(e) any failure or omission to assert or enforce or agreement or election not to assert or enforce, delay in enforcement, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy (whether arising under any Loan Document, any Swap Agreement or any Cash Management Agreement, at law, in equity or otherwise) with respect to the Secured Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any other guaranty of or security for the payment of the Secured Obligations;
(f) any exercise of remedies with respect to any security for the Secured Obligations (including, without limitation, any collateral, including the Collateral, securing or purporting to secure any of the Secured Obligations) at such time and in such order and in such manner as the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties may decide and whether or not every aspect thereof is commercially reasonable and whether or not such action constitutes an election of remedies and even if such action operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy that any Guarantor would otherwise have, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing or any other provisions hereof, each Guarantor hereby expressly waives any and all benefits which might otherwise be available to such Guarantor under applicable law, including without limitation, California Civil Code Sections 2809, 2810, 2819, 2939, 2845, 2848, 2849, 2850, 2855, 2899 and 3433;
(g) any other circumstance whatsoever which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor as an obligor in respect of the Secured Obligations or which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of any

Borrower or any other Guarantor for the Secured Obligations, or of such Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this Article X or of any security interest granted by any Guarantor, whether in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or in any other instance; or
(h) with respect to its obligations hereunder, each Guarantor hereby expressly waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other holder of the Secured Obligations exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against any Person under any of the Loan Documents or other documents relating to the Secured Obligations, or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Secured Obligations.
Section 10.03 Reinstatement. The obligations of each Guarantor under this Article X shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any Person in respect of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Secured Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings under any Debtor Relief Law, and each Guarantor agrees that it will jointly and severally indemnify the Administrative Agent and each holder of the Secured Obligations on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, the fees, charges and disbursements of counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent or such holder of the Secured Obligations in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any proceedings under any debtor relief law.
Section 10.04 Certain Additional Waivers. Each Guarantor further agrees that it shall have no right of recourse to security for the Secured Obligations, except through the exercise of rights of subrogation pursuant to Section 10.02 and through the exercise of rights of contribution pursuant to Section 10.06.
Section 10.05 Remedies. Each Guarantor agrees that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the other holders of the Secured Obligations, on the other hand, the Secured Obligations may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Article VII (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in said Article VII) for purposes of Section 10.01 notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or preventing the Secured Obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against any other Person and that, in the event of such declaration (or the Secured Obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), the Secured Obligations (whether or not due and payable by any other Person) shall forthwith become due and payable by each Guarantor for purposes of Section 10.01. Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that its respective obligations hereunder are secured in accordance with the terms of the Collateral Documents and that the holders of the Secured Obligations may exercise their remedies thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof.
Section 10.06 Rights of Contribution. Each Guarantor agrees that, in connection with payments made hereunder, each Guarantor shall have contribution rights against the other Guarantors as permitted under applicable law. Such contribution rights shall be subordinate and

subject in right of payment to the obligations of such Guarantors under the Loan Documents and no Guarantor shall exercise such rights of contribution until all Secured Obligations (other than Unliquidated Obligations for which no claim has been made) have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and the Commitments have terminated.
Section 10.07 Guaranty of Payment; Continuing Guarantee. The guarantee given by each Guarantor in this Article X is a guaranty of payment and not of collection, is a continuing guarantee, and shall apply to all Secured Obligations whenever arising.
Section 10.08 Guarantee Limitations. The guarantee given by each Guarantor incorporated in Ireland does not apply to any liability to the extent that it would result in this guarantee constituting unlawful financial assistance within the meaning of Section 82. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Documents, the guarantee obligations of each Guarantor established in Luxembourg or having its “centre of main interests” (as this term is used in Article 3(1) of the Insolvency Regulation) in Luxembourg (a “Luxembourg Guarantor”) in respect of the obligations of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries which is not a direct or indirect subsidiary of such relevant Luxembourg Guarantor shall be limited at any time to an aggregate amount not exceeding 95% of the greater of:
(a) the Luxembourg Guarantor's own funds (capitaux propres), as referred to in Annex I to the grand-ducal regulation dated 18 December 2015 defining the form and content of the presentation of the balance sheet and profit and loss account, and enforcing the Luxembourg Law dated 19 December 2002 concerning the trade and companies register and the accounting and annual accounts of undertakings (the “Regulation”), as increased by the amount of any debts owed to the Luxembourg Guarantor by a company of the same group of the Luxembourg Guarantor, as shown in (x) the latest interim financial statements available (if any), at the date of demand of payment under this Agreement or, if not available, (y) the latest annual financial statements (comptes annuels) available at the date of demand of payment under this Agreement; and
(b) the Luxembourg Guarantor’s own funds (capitaux propres), as referred to in the Regulation, as increased by the amount of any debts owed to the Luxembourg Guarantor by a company of the same group of the Luxembourg Guarantor, at the date of entry into this Agreement.
The limitation set forth under items (a) and (b) above shall not apply to any amounts borrowed under this Agreement and made available, in any form whatsoever, to the Luxembourg Guarantor or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries.
Should the financial information referred to in clause (a) and (b) above not be available on the date of this Agreement or on the date the guarantee is called, as the case may be, such financial information will be determined by Administrative Agent or any other person designated by Administrative Agent, acting reasonably, in accordance with the Luxembourg accounting principles applicable to the Luxembourg Guarantor and at the cost of the Luxembourg Guarantor.

Section 10.09 Keepwell. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Loan Party to honor all of its obligations under the Guarantees in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 10.09 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 10.09, or otherwise under the Guarantees, as it relates to such Loan Party, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 10.09 shall remain in full force and effect until a discharge of Secured Obligations. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 10.09 constitute, and this Section 10.09 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.
