Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) the Applicable Rate in respect of any Class of Incremental Term Loans shall be the applicable percentages per annum set forth in the relevant Incremental Amendment, (b) the Applicable Rate in respect of any Class of Loans under any Refinancing Term Facility shall be the applicable percentages per annum set forth in the relevant agreement and (c) in the case of the Term Loans and any Class of Incremental Term Loans, the Applicable Rate shall be increased as, and to the extent, necessary to comply with the provisions of Section 2.15(e).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this definition or elsewhere in this Agreement, if it is subsequently determined that the First Lien Leverage Ratio set forth in any Compliance Certificate delivered to the Administrative Agent is inaccurate for any reason and the result thereof is that the Lenders received interest for any period based on an Applicable Rate that is less than that which would have been applicable had the First Lien Leverage Ratio been accurately determined, then, for all purposes of this Agreement, the Applicable Rate for any day occurring within the period covered by such Compliance Certificate shall retroactively be deemed to be the relevant percentage as based upon the accurately determined First Lien Leverage Ratio for such period, and any shortfall in the interest theretofore paid by the Borrower for the relevant

Without limiting the effect of the foregoing, the Applicable Reserve Requirement shall reflect any other reserves required to be maintained by such member banks with respect to (i) any category of liabilities which includes deposits by reference to which the applicable Eurocurrency Rate or any other interest rate of a Loan is to be determined, or (ii) any category of extensions of credit or other assets which include Eurocurrency Rate Loans. A Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall be deemed to constitute Eurocurrency liabilities and as such shall be deemed subject to reserve requirements without benefits of credit for proration, exceptions or offsets that may be available from time to time to the applicable Lender. The rate of interest on Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be adjusted automatically on and as of the effective date of any change in the Applicable Reserve Requirement.
“Applicable Time” means, with respect to any payments in any Alternative Currency, a New York City time reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent or the applicable L/C Issuer, as the case may be, subject to the Administrative Agent or such L/C Issuer providing advance notice to the Borrower that such time is necessary for timely settlement on the relevant date in accordance with normal banking procedures in the place of payments.

(iv) The applicable L/C Issuer and the Borrower shall not amend any Letter of Credit if such L/C Issuer would not be permitted at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof.
(v) No L/C Issuer shall be under any obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.
(vi) Each L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Incremental Revolving Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and each L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in Article IX with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Article IX included the L/C Issuers with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to the L/C Issuers.
(b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Extension Letters of Credit.
(i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrower delivered to an L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by such L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, at least two Business Days (or such later date and time as the Administrative Agent and such L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount and currency thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof (if applicable, in the case of Bank Guarantees); (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (G) such other matters as such L/C Issuer may reasonably require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as such L/C Issuer may reasonably require. Additionally, the Borrower shall furnish to the applicable L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as such L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent may reasonably require.
(ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the applicable L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in
71
NAI-1504047260v2
US-DOCS\110323336.25

writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Borrower and, if not, such L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless such L/C Issuer has received written notice from any Incremental Revolving Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Article IV shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with such L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Incremental Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from such L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Incremental Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage times the amount of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Incremental Revolving Lender of the amount of each Letter of Credit issuance and each amendment with respect to the amount of any Letter of Credit, provided that a failure to provide such notice shall not affect the obligations of each Incremental Revolving Lender to purchase participations in each Letter of Credit as provided in this Agreement. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.
(iii) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, an L/C Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the applicable L/C Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the applicable L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the applicable L/C Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Incremental Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the applicable L/C Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided, however, that the applicable L/C Issuer shall have no obligation to permit any such extension if (A) such L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.03(a)), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is five Business Days fifteen (15) days before the Non-Extension Notice Date from the Administrative Agent or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing the applicable L/C Issuer not to permit such extension.

(iv) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, an L/C Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that permits the automatic reinstatement of all or a portion of the stated amount thereof after any drawing thereunder upon request to such L/C Issuer (each, an “Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit”). Each Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit shall permit the applicable L/C Issuer to decline to reinstate all or any portion of the stated amount thereof after a drawing thereunder by giving notice of such non-reinstatement within a specified number of days after such drawing (the “Non-Reinstatement Deadline”). Once an Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit has been issued, except as provided in the following sentence, the Incremental Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the applicable L/C Issuer to reinstate all or a portion of the stated amount thereof in accordance with the provisions of such Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the applicable L/C Issuer shall not permit such reinstatement if (A) such L/C Issuer has received a notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is five Business Days before the Non-Reinstatement Deadline from the Administrative Agent or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied (treating such reinstatement as an L/C Credit Extension for purposes of this clause) and, in each case, directing the applicable L/C Issuer not to permit such reinstatement or (B) the Administrative Agent has not received a certificate from the Borrower on or before the day that is five Business Days before the Non-Reinstatement Deadline certifying to compliance with the proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.03(a) after giving effect to such reinstatement.
(v) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the applicable L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.
(c) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.
(i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. In the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in Dollars, the Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Issuer in Dollars. In the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, the Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Issuer in such Alternative Currency, unless (A) such L/C Issuer (at its option) shall have specified in such notice that reimbursement in Dollars is preferred and the Borrower does not make payment in the applicable Alternative Currency on the Honor Date, in which case the Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Issuer in Dollars, or (B) otherwise, the Borrower shall have notified such L/C Issuer promptly following receipt of the notice of drawing that the Borrower will reimburse such L/C Issuer in Dollars. In the case of any such reimbursement in Dollars of a drawing under a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, such L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrower of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the drawing promptly following the determination thereof. The Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing and in the applicable currency on the date on which the Borrower receives notice of any payment by such L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit, if the Borrower receives notice by 12:00 p.m., New York City time for payment in Dollars or by the Applicable Time for payments in Alternative Currencies, or on the next Business Day if notice is
73
NAI-1504047260v2
US-DOCS\110323336.25

not received by such time (each such date, an “Honor Date”). If the Borrower fails to so reimburse such L/C Issuer by the time set forth in the preceding sentence, the applicable L/C Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of the Honor Date and the Unreimbursed Amount. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Incremental Revolving Lender thereof and of the amount of such Incremental Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Any notice given by an L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) may be given by telephone if promptly confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such a prompt confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.
(ii) Each Incremental Revolving Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer, in Dollars, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Incremental Revolving Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made an Incremental a Revolving Loan constituting a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the applicable L/C Issuer in Dollars.
(iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not repaid or fully refinanced by an Incremental a Revolving Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the applicable L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in Dollars in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at (A) the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans from the Honor Date to the date reimbursement is required pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) and (B) thereafter, the Default Rate. Each Incremental Revolving Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.03.
(iv) Until each Incremental Revolving Lender funds its L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Incremental Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of such L/C Issuer.
(v) Each Incremental Revolving Lender’s obligation to make L/C Advances to reimburse the L/C Issuers for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Incremental Revolving Lender may have against any L/C Issuer, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Incremental Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Incremental Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than delivery by the Borrower of a Borrowing Notice). No such making of an L/C
74
NAI-1504047260v2
US-DOCS\110323336.25

Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the such L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.
(vi) If any Incremental Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii), such L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight NYFRB Rate from time to time in effect. A certificate of the applicable L/C Issuer submitted to any Incremental Revolving Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.03(c)(vi) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(d) Repayment of Participations.
(i) At any time after an L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Incremental Revolving Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.03(c), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of such L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s L/C Advance was outstanding) in Dollars and in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.
(ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of an L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Incremental Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight NYFRB Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive Payment in Full and the termination of this Agreement.
(e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse each L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each Unreimbursed Amount shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable under all circumstances, including the following:
(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document;
(ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff or defense to payment that the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such
75
NAI-1504047260v2
US-DOCS\110323336.25

transferee may be acting), any L/C Issuer or any Incremental Revolving Lender, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;
(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit, except to the extent caused by the applicable L/C Issuer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction;
(iv) any payment by the applicable L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, so long as such L/C Issuer shall have determined in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, in good faith and in accordance with the standard of care specified in the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment appear on their face to be in conformity with such Letter of Credit;
(v) any adverse change in the relevant exchange rates or in the availability of the relevant Alternative Currency to the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary or in the relevant currency markets generally; or
(vi) any other action taken or omitted to be taken by an L/C Issuer under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, in good faith and in accordance with the standards of care specified in the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower will promptly notify the applicable L/C Issuer. The Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the applicable L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.
(f) Role of L/C Issuer. Each Incremental Revolving Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, no L/C Issuer shall have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuers, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuers shall be liable to any Incremental Revolving Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Incremental Revolving
76
NAI-1504047260v2
US-DOCS\110323336.25

Lenders or the Required Revolving Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Borrower may have a claim against an L/C Issuer, and an L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves were caused by such L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or such L/C Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary or transferee of documents strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, an L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and an L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.
(g) Cash Collateral. If any L/C Obligation (x) has a stated maturity date or an expiration date that extends beyond the Incremental Revolving Facility Maturity Date or has no stated expiry or maturity date, or (y) provides for automatic extensions of the stated maturity date or the expiration date thereof, in each case, beyond the Incremental Revolving Facility Maturity Date, then the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize (i) any portion of such Letter of Credit described in clause (x) above that remains outstanding 15 days prior to the Incremental Revolving Facility Maturity Date (or such shorter time as the Administrative Agent and any applicable L/C Issuer shall agree) and (ii) any portion of such Letter of Credit described in clause (y) above that remains outstanding 15 days prior to the date on which the applicable L/C Issuer must deliver notice electing not to extend such Letter of Credit (or such shorter time as the Administrative Agent and any applicable L/C Issuer shall agree).
(h) Applicability of ISP and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable L/C Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, with respect to Letters of Credit other than Bank Guarantees, the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit and the rules of the UCP shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.
(i) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Incremental Revolving Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage for the Incremental Revolving Facility a Letter of Credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for each Letter of Credit issued on behalf of the Borrower equal to the Applicable Rate for Eurocurrency Rate Loans times the Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit issued on behalf of the Borrower, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be
77
NAI-1504047260v2
US-DOCS\110323336.25

determined in accordance with Section 1.08. The Letter of Credit Fees shall be (x) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears and (y) due and payable on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate (i) automatically if such Letter of Credit Fee is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise and (ii) while any other Event of Default exists upon the request of the Required Revolving Lenders.
(j) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuer. The Borrower shall pay directly to the applicable L/C Issuer for its own account, in Dollars, a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer at the rate of 0.125% per annum on the face amount of each such Letter of Credit, computed on the Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit on a quarterly basis in arrears (any such fronting fee, a “Fronting Fee”). Fronting Fees shall be due and payable on the date that is ten Business Days after the last day of each March, June, September and December in respect of the most recently-ended quarterly period (or portion thereof, in the case of the first payment), commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, except in the event that there exists any Event of Default under Section 8.01(f) when such Fronting Fee is due, the Fronting Fee shall be due but not payable until five days following receipt by Borrower of an invoice from the applicable L/C Issuer setting forth the amount payable. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.08. In addition, the Borrower shall pay directly to the applicable L/C Issuer for its own account, in Dollars, the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of such L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit or bank guarantees, as applicable, as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.
(k) Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control.
(l) 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 Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of Restricted Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Restricted Subsidiaries.
(m) Additional L/C Issuer. Any Person permitted to become an L/C Issuer pursuant to the definition of L/C Issuer may become an L/C Issuer under this Agreement with the obligations, rights, powers and privileges of an L/C Issuer hereunder by executing a joinder, in a form reasonably satisfactory to (and acknowledged and accepted by) the Administrative Agent, indicating such Lender’s L/C Issuance Limit and, upon the execution and delivery of any such joinder, such Lender shall be an L/C Issuer for all purposes hereof.

US-DOCS\110323336.25

(n) Reallocation. If at any time prior to the termination in full of the Revolving Facility, a portion of the Revolving Commitments of any Lender expire as a result of the occurrence of the Revolving Facility Maturity Date with respect thereto, then, the participation obligations with respect to existing Letters of Credit shall be fully reallocated to the remaining Revolving Lenders (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(a)(i) as if such Letters of Credit were being issued at such time) or such L/C Issuer shall enter into arrangements satisfactory to it (such as through the posting of Cash Collateral) with the Borrower to eliminate such L/C Issuer’s risk with respect to such expiring Revolving Commitments.
2.04 [Reserved].
2.05 Prepayments and Commitment Reductions.
(a) Voluntary Prepayments. The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Loans in whole or in part, subject to Section 2.05(i), without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time (or such other later time which is acceptable to the Administrative Agent), (A) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, and (B) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (ii) any prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; and (iii) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, the entire amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid and, if Eurocurrency Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Loans. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s ratable portion of such prepayment (based on such Lender’s Applicable Percentage in respect of the relevant Facility). If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein; provided that any such notice may be contingent upon the consummation of a refinancing and such notice may otherwise be extended or revoked, in each case, with the requirements of Section 3.05 to apply to any failure of the contingency to occur and any such extension or revocation. Any prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Each prepayment of the outstanding Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) shall be applied to the Type(s) of Loan(s) in the manner as the Borrower shall direct, and each prepayment of Loans shall be paid to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages in respect of each of the relevant Facilities; provided, in the event the Borrower fails to specify the Loans to which any such prepayments shall be applied, such prepayments shall be applied, first, to repay outstanding Incremental Revolving Loans (if any) to the full extent thereof (without a corresponding reduction in the Incremental Revolving Commitments with respect thereto) and second, to prepay the Term Loans on a pro rata basis (in accordance with the respective outstanding principal amounts thereof) and further applied to reduce the scheduled remaining installments of principal of the Term Loans in direct order of maturity.

(b) [Reserved].
(c) If the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower at any time that the Dollar Equivalent of the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings at such time exceeds the Incremental Revolving Commitments then in effect, then, within two Business Days after receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall prepay Incremental Revolving Loans and/or shall Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce such Outstanding Amount as of such date of payment to an amount not to exceed 100% of the Incremental Revolving Commitments then in effect; provided, however, that, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(g), the Borrower shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant to this Section 2.05(c) unless, after the prepayment of the Incremental Revolving Loans, the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings exceed the Incremental Revolving Commitments then in effect. The Administrative Agent may, at any time and from time to time after the initial deposit of such Cash Collateral, request that additional Cash Collateral be provided in order to protect against the incremental effects of further exchange rate fluctuations if the Dollar Equivalent of the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings at such time less the amount of Cash Collateral held by the Administrative Agent for L/C Obligations exceeds the Incremental Revolving Commitments then in effect.
(d) [Reserved].

US-DOCS\110323336.25

(j) Repatriation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Borrower reasonably determines in good faith that any amounts attributable to Foreign Subsidiaries that are required to be prepaid pursuant to Sections 2.05(e) and 2.05(h) would result in material adverse tax consequences or violate any applicable local law in respect of upstreaming proceeds (including financial assistance and corporate benefit restrictions and statutory duties of the relevant directors), in each case as set forth in a certificate delivered by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, then such Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall not be required to prepay such amounts as required under Sections 2.05(e) and 2.05(h) the repatriation of which would result in such tax consequence or violation until such material tax consequences or local law violation no longer exist; provided that, for a period of one year following the date on which such payment was originally required, the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall take commercially reasonable actions to permit repatriation of the proceeds subject to such prepayments in order to effect such prepayments without violating local law or incurring such material adverse tax consequences.
(k) Application of Mandatory Prepayments. Each prepayment of the outstanding Loans pursuant to Sections 2.05(e) through 2.05(h) above shall be applied, first, pro rata to the remaining scheduled installment payments of the Term Loans in direct order of maturity, second, to repay the Incremental Revolving Loans (without a corresponding reduction in the Incremental Revolving Commitments with respect thereto) and third, to Cash Collateralize Letters of Credit issued hereunder, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer. Each prepayment of Loans shall be paid to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages.
(l) Additional Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Borrower may apply amounts otherwise required to make prepayments pursuant to Sections 2.05(e), (g) and (h) to repay (x) with respect to Sections 2.05(e) and (h), any Indebtedness that was secured by any assets not constituting Collateral sold in such Asset Sale or the loss of which resulted in Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds, as applicable, to the extent such repayment is required by such Indebtedness as a result of such Asset Sale or loss and (y) a ratable portion of Indebtedness permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 7.03 and secured by liens on a pari passu basis pursuant to Section 7.01 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Priority Lien Notes Indebtedness, Incremental Debt and Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness of the foregoing), in the case of this clause (y), in respect of which a prepayment (or offer of prepayment) is required to be made with respect to such pari passu Indebtedness with such Excess Proceeds, Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow (determined on the basis of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans and such other Indebtedness outstanding at such time).
(m) ABL Facility. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Sections 2.05(e) and 2.05(h), if any Indebtedness under any ABL Facility is outstanding, to the extent a prepayment or cash collateralization of letters of credit is required under such ABL Facility due to any Net Proceeds or Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds constituting the proceeds of ABL Priority Collateral, no prepayment shall be required under Sections 2.05(e) and 2.05(h) to the extent of such required payment under such ABL Facility.[Reserved].

(n) Waivable Mandatory Prepayment. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event the Borrower is required to make any mandatory prepayment (a “Waivable Mandatory Prepayment”), not less than five Business Days prior to the date (the “Required Prepayment Date”) on which the Borrower is required to make such Waivable Mandatory Prepayment, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of the amount of such prepayment, and the Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter notify each Lender of the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Waivable Mandatory Prepayment and such Lender’s option to refuse such amount. Each such Lender may exercise such option by giving written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its election to do so on or before the third Business Day prior to the Required Prepayment Date (it being understood that any Lender which does not notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its election to exercise such option on or before the third Business Day prior to the Required Prepayment Date shall be deemed to have elected, as of such date, not to exercise such option). On the Required Prepayment Date, (i) the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to that portion of the Waivable Mandatory Prepayment that is payable to those Lenders that have elected not to exercise such option, to prepay the Loans of such Lenders (which prepayment shall be applied in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.05), and (ii) the portion of the Waivable Mandatory Prepayment otherwise payable to Lenders that have elected to exercise such option (“Declined Proceeds”) may be retained by the Borrower to be used for any purpose not prohibited hereunder.
2.06 Optional Termination or Reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments.
(a) Optional. The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Incremental Revolving Commitments, or from time to time permanently reduce the Incremental Revolving Commitments in whole or in part; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction with respect to the Incremental Revolving Commitments shall be in an aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and (iii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Incremental Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the total Outstanding Amount under the Incremental Revolving Facility would exceed the Incremental Revolving Commitments under the Incremental Revolving Facility. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Incremental Revolving Lenders of any such notice of the foregoing, and any such notice may be contingent upon the consummation of a refinancing and such notice may otherwise be extended or revoked.
(b) Application of Commitment Reductions; Payment of Fees. Upon any reduction of the Incremental Revolving Commitments, the Incremental Revolving Commitment of each Incremental Revolving Lender shall be reduced by such Incremental Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage in respect of the Incremental Revolving Facilities Facility of such reduction amount. All fees and other amounts under this Agreement in respect of the Incremental Revolving Facilities Facility accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Incremental Revolving Facilities Facility shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.

US-DOCS\110323336.25

(b) The Borrower shall pay to the Arrangers and the Agents for their own respective accounts, in Dollars, fees in the amounts and at the times specified in each of the Fee Letters. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.
(c) If the Closing Date has not occurred on or prior to the date that is 31 days following the final allocation of the Term Loan Facility (such date, the “Start Date”), the Borrower agrees to pay (or cause to be paid) to the Arrangers (for the benefit of each Lender that has been allocated a portion of the Term Loan Facility) a fee (the “Ticking Fee”) in an amount equal to the sum of (a) for the period, if any, commencing on the Start Date and continuing through the earliest of (x) the date that is 61 days following the final allocation of the Term Loan Facility (such date, the “Step-Up Date”), (y) the Closing Date and (z) May 1, 2017 (or if the Borrower has elected to extend the date set forth in Section 4.01(n), such date as so extended but in any event no later than August 1, 2017) (the “Termination Date”), an amount equal to the product of (i) the aggregate principal amount of the commitments in respect of the Term Loan Facility that were so allocated multiplied by (ii) a per annum rate equal to 50.0% of the interest rate margin applicable to Eurocurrency Rate Loans, plus (b) for the period, if any, after the Step-Up Date through and including the earlier of (x) the date that is 121 days following allocation of the Term Loan Facility (the “Second Step-Up Date”), (y) the Closing Date and (z) the Termination Date, an amount equal to the product of (i) the aggregate principal amount of the commitments in respect of the Term Loan Facility that were so allocated multiplied by (ii) 100% of the interest rate margin applicable to Eurocurrency Rate Loans, plus (c) for the period, if any, after the Second Step-Up Date through and including the earlier of (x) the Closing Date and (y) the Termination Date, an amount equal to the product of (i) the aggregate principal amount of the commitments in respect of the Term Loan Facility that were so allocated multiplied by (ii) 100% of the interest rate (including the interest rate margin) applicable to Eurocurrency Rate Loans (including the LIBOR “floor”).

The Ticking Fee shall be payable on the earlier of (a) the Closing Date and (b) the Termination Date.
2.10 Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans, where the rate of interest is calculated on the basis of the prime rate, and of Fronting Fees shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12(a), bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
2.11 Evidence of Debt. The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the
87
NAI-1504047260v2
US-DOCS\110323336.25

amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender to the Borrower made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans to the Borrower in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to a Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.
In addition to the accounts and records referred to in subsection (a), each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.
2.12 Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.
(a) General. All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in Same Day Funds not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date specified herein. If, for any reason, the Borrower is prohibited by any Law from making any required payment hereunder in an Alternative Currency, the Borrower shall make such payment in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the Alternative Currency payment amount. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 3:00 p.m., New York City time shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.
(b) (i) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of Eurocurrency Rate Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 (or, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section
88
NAI-1504047260v2
US-DOCS\110323336.25

2.02) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the Overnight NYFRB Rate, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.
(ii) Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the Overnight NYFRB Rate.
A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(c) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender to the Borrower as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall promptly return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.
(d) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and to make payments pursuant to Section 10.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 10.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to fund its participation or to make its payment under Section 10.04(c).
89
NAI-1504047260v2
US-DOCS\110323336.25

(e) Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.
2.13 Pro Rata; Sharing of Payments by Lenders. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on any Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Loans shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Loans of such Class then held by the respective Lenders of such Class. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Loans made by it (or the participation in L/C Obligations held by it) resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Loans or participations and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the applicable Loans (and subparticipations in L/C Obligations) of the other Lenders of such Class, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, 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 of the applicable Class and other amounts owing them, provided that:
(a) if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and
(b) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (i) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (ii) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Loans (or subparticipations in L/C Obligations) to any assignee or participant.
The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

2.15 Incremental Debt.
(a) Request for Incremental Facility. Upon notice (an “Incremental Facility Request”) to and approval (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify the existing Lenders), the Borrower may, without the consent of any Lender, request to add an incremental revolving credit facility or increase the principal
90
NAI-1504047260v2
US-DOCS\110323336.25

amount of any the existing incremental revolving facility (each an Revolving Facility (such increase, a “Incremental Revolving Facility”) and/or one or more new incremental term loan facilities (each an “Incremental Term Facility”; each Incremental Revolving Facility and Incremental Term Facility, an “Incremental Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount, which when added to the aggregate principal amount of the other Incremental Debt outstanding does not exceed the Incremental Debt Cap as of the effective date of the Incremental Facility; provided that any such request for an Incremental Facility shall be in a minimum amount equal to the lesser of (x) $25,000,000 and (y) the entire amount that remains available for request under this Section 2.15.
(b) Incremental Facility Request. Each Incremental Facility Request from the Borrower shall set forth (i) the requested principal amount of the Incremental Facility, (ii) the proposed terms of the Incremental Facility (including its interest rate and, if an Incremental Term Facility is being requested, amortization and any prepayment premiums) and (iii) whether an Incremental Revolving Facility or Incremental Term Facility is being requested. An Incremental Facility may be provided by (A) an existing Lender (but no Lender shall be obligated to provide a commitment in respect of an Incremental Facility, nor shall the Borrower have any obligation to approach any existing Lenders to provide a commitment in respect of an Incremental Facility) or (B) any other Incremental Lender so long as any such Person is approved by the Administrative Agent and any other Person who would have consent rights pursuant to Section 10.06(b) if such Incremental Lender was becoming an Incremental a Revolving Lender or a Term Lender, as applicable. Subject to any such consents being received and if not already a party hereto, any such Incremental Lender may become a party to this Agreement by entering into an Incremental Amendment or other joinder agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(c) Closing Date and Allocations. In connection with any Incremental Facility, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall determine the effective date (the “Incremental Facility Effective Date”). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the principal amount of the Incremental Facility and the Incremental Facility Effective Date.
(d) Conditions to Effectiveness of Incremental Facility. The effectiveness of each Incremental Facility shall be subject to the following conditions:
(i) as of the Incremental Facility Effective Date, (A) the representations and warranties contained in Article V (or, in the case of any Incremental Facility being requested in connection with a Permitted Acquisition, the Specified Representations and Acquisition Agreement Representations in the Acquisition Agreement for such Permitted Acquisition) are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Incremental Facility Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date, and (ii) (A) if such Incremental Facility is being requested in connection with a Permitted Acquisition, no Event of Default under Sections 8.01(a), (f), or (g) has occurred or is continuing or would immediately result therefrom, unless such conditions would not be permitted by applicable Law (e.g., in an Australian acquisition context), in which case the satisfaction of such conditions shall
91
NAI-1504047260v2
US-DOCS\110323336.25

not be required, and (B) otherwise, no Default or Event of Default has occurred or is continuing or would immediately result therefrom;
(ii) such Incremental Facility shall have the same guarantees as, and be secured on a pari passu basis with, the Secured Obligations; provided that, if agreed by the Borrower and the relevant Incremental Lenders, the Incremental Facility may be subject to lesser guarantees or be unsecured or less secured, or the Liens securing the Incremental Facility may rank junior to the Liens securing the Term Loan Facility and the 2017 Incremental Revolving Facility;
(iii) in the event such Incremental Facility is an Incremental Term Facility, such Incremental Facility shall (A) have a final maturity no earlier than the Maturity Date, (B) have a weighted average life no shorter than that of the Term Loan Facility and any other Incremental Term Facilities outstanding and (C) not have any terms which require it to be voluntarily or mandatorily prepaid prior to the repayment in full of the Term Loans (including any other Incremental Term Loans), unless accompanied by at least a ratable payment of the Term Loans;
(iv) in the event such Incremental Facility is an Incremental a Revolving Facility, (A) the terms and provisions of all Incremental Revolving Facilities shall be identical to the Revolving Facility terms and provisions (other than the provisions solely applicable to the 2017 Incremental Revolving Facility); and (B) the Borrower shall use the proceeds (including any Letters of Credit issued thereunder) of such Incremental Revolving Facilities for working capital and general corporate purposes; and
(v) The terms, provisions and documentation of an Incremental Facility shall be as agreed between the Borrower and the Incremental Lenders providing such Incremental Facility, and to the extent such terms and documentation for the Incremental Facility are not substantially consistent with the applicable Loan Documents, they shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, unless such terms (A) are more favorable to the Borrower, taken as a whole, than the Loan Documents in respect of the Facilities (or the Lenders under the Facilities receive the benefit of the more restrictive terms, which, for avoidance of doubt, may be provided to them without their consent), in each case, as certified by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower in good faith, (B) concern pricing (including interest rates, rate floors, fees, OID or other fees), the amortization schedule, commitment reductions, prepayments and any prepayment premiums applicable to such Incremental Facility or (C) apply after the latest then applicable Maturity Date; provided that, (x) a financial maintenance covenant may be added for the benefit of the Incremental Revolving Facilities (but not for the benefit of the Term Loan Facility or any Incremental Term Facility) without the consent of the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders other than the Incremental Revolving Lenders and (y) to the extent that any financial maintenance covenant is added for the benefit of any Incremental Term Facility, no consent shall be required from the Administrative Agent to the extent that such financial maintenance covenant is also added for the benefit of the existing Term Loan Facility and any existing Incremental Facility existing at the time such subsequent Incremental Term Facility is incurred.

NAI-1504047260v2
US-DOCS\110323336.25

(e) Most Favored Nations. If any Incremental Term Facility is incurred after the Closing Seventh Amendment Effective Date, in the event that the Weighted Average Yield for any Incremental Term Facility exceeds the Weighted Average Yield for the Term Loan Facility by more than 50 basis points (the “Excess”), then the interest rate margins for the Term Loan shall be increased to the extent necessary to eliminate such Excess; provided that, in determining the Weighted Average Yield applicable to the Incremental Term Facility and the Term Loan Facility, (i) customary arrangement, structuring or commitment fees payable to the Arrangers or any bookrunner (or their respective affiliates) in connection with the Term Loan or to one or more arrangers or bookrunners (or their respective affiliates) of any Incremental Term Facility shall be excluded, (ii) OID and upfront fees paid to the lenders thereunder shall be included (with OID being equated to interest based on an assumed four-year life to maturity or, if shorter, the actual weighted average life to maturity) and (iii) if the Incremental Term Facility includes an interest rate floor greater than the applicable interest rate floor under the existing Term Loan Facility, such differential between interest rate floors shall be equated to the applicable interest rate margin for purposes of determining whether an increase to the interest rate margin under the existing Term Loan Facility shall be required, but only to the extent an increase in the interest rate floor in the existing Term Loan Facility would cause an increase in the interest rate then in effect thereunder, and in such case the interest rate floor (but not the interest rate margin) applicable to the existing Term Loan Facility may be increased to the extent necessary in respect of such differential between interest rate floors; provided that each basis point increase to the interest rate floor of the Term Loans shall count as one basis point of increase in the interest rate margin to the Term Loans for purposes of eliminating the Excess.
(f) On each Incremental Facility Effective Date with respect to each Incremental Revolving Facility, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, (i) each Lender providing such Incremental Revolving Facility shall make the Incremental Facility available to the Borrower, (ii) each of the existing Incremental Revolving Lenders (if any) shall assign to each of the new Incremental Revolving Lenders, and each of the new Incremental Revolving Lenders shall purchase from each of the existing Incremental Revolving Lenders (if any), at the principal amount thereof (together with accrued interest), such interests in the Incremental Revolving Loans outstanding on such Incremental Facility Effective Date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, such Incremental Revolving Loans will be held by existing Incremental Revolving Lenders and new Incremental Revolving Lenders ratably in accordance with their Incremental Revolving Commitments after giving effect to the addition of such new Incremental Revolving Commitments to the existing Incremental Revolving Commitments and (iii) each Incremental Revolving Lender shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to the Incremental Revolving Commitments and the Incremental Revolving Loans made pursuant thereto.
(g) Amendment. With the consent of the Lenders providing an Incremental Facility, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (and without the consent of the other Lenders), this Agreement shall be amended in a writing (which may be executed and delivered by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) (the “Incremental Amendment”) to reflect any changes necessary to give effect to such Incremental Facility in accordance with its terms (including, without limitation, to give such Incremental Facility the benefits of Section 2.05, as applicable). Each Incremental Facility shall be effected pursuant to an Incremental Amendment, which shall be recorded in the Register, and each Incremental Lender providing such Incremental Facility shall
93
NAI-1504047260v2
US-DOCS\110323336.25

be subject to the requirements set forth in Section 3.01(e). The Incremental Amendment with respect to an Incremental Revolving Facility may include, among other things, customary provisions regarding (i) Letters of Credit and reimbursement obligations with respect thereto, (ii) cash collateral obligations with respect to Letters of Credit, (iii) swing line loans and participations therein, and (iv) Incremental Revolving Lenders that are Defaulting Lenders. In connection with any Incremental Amendment, the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered within the time period requested by the Administrative Agent, any legal opinions, mortgage modifications, amendments to Security Documents or other documents, in each case, as reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with such transaction.
(h) Conflicting Provisions. This Section shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.13 to the contrary.
2.16 Refinancing Debt.
(a) Refinancing Facility. The Borrower may, without the consent of any Lender, extend, refinance, renew or replace, in whole or in part, the Loans under any Facility or the Commitments under the Incremental Revolving Facility with one or more term loan facilities (each, a “Refinancing Term Facility”) or one or more revolving credit facilities (each, a “Refinancing Revolving Facility”) (each Refinancing Term Facility and Refinancing Revolving Facility, a “Refinancing Facility”); provided that any such request for a Refinancing Facility shall be in a minimum amount equal to the lesser of (i) $25,000,000 and (ii) the entire amount of any Facility which is being extended, refinanced, renewed or replaced under this Section 2.16.
(b) Refinancing Facility Lender. A Refinancing Facility may be provided by (i) an existing Lender (but no Lender shall be obligated to provide a commitment in respect of a Refinancing Facility, nor shall the Borrower have any obligation to approach any existing Lenders to provide a commitment in respect of a Refinancing Facility) or (ii) any other Refinancing Facility Lender so long as any such Person is approved by the Administrative Agent and any other Person who would have consent rights pursuant to Section 10.06(b) if such Refinancing Facility Lender was becoming an Incremental a Revolving Lender or Term Lender, as applicable. Subject to any such consents being received and if not already a party hereto, any such Refinancing Facility Lender may become a party to this Agreement by entering into a joinder agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(c) Effective Date. In connection with any Refinancing Facility, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall determine the effective date (the “Refinancing Facility Effective Date”). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the principal amount of the Refinancing Facility and the Refinancing Facility Effective Date.
(d) Conditions to Effectiveness of Refinancing Facility. The effectiveness of each Refinancing Facility shall be subject to the following conditions:
(i) the aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, if applicable) of any Refinancing Facility will not exceed the outstanding aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, if applicable) of any Facility which it is extending, refinancing, renewing or replacing plus any Permitted Refinancing Increase, unless such additional principal amount would otherwise be
94
NAI-1504047260v2
US-DOCS\110323336.25

permitted pursuant to (and any such additional amount shall be deemed to have been incurred under) Section 7.03 and, if applicable, Section 7.01;
(ii) such Refinancing Facility shall have the same guarantees as, and be secured on a pari passu basis with, the Secured Obligations; provided that, if agreed by the Borrower and the relevant Refinancing Facility Lenders, the Refinancing Facility may be subject to lesser guarantees or be unsecured or less secured, or the Liens securing the Refinancing Facility may rank junior to the Liens securing the Incremental Revolving Facility and Term Loan Facility;
(iii) in the event such Refinancing Facility is a Refinancing Term Facility, such Refinancing Facility (A) shall have (1) a final maturity no earlier than the Maturity Date and (2) a weighted average life no shorter than that of the Term Loan Facility and (B) shall not have any terms which require it to be voluntarily or mandatorily prepaid prior to the repayment in full of the Term Loans, unless accompanied by at least a ratable payment of the Term Loans;
(iv) in the event such Refinancing Facility is a Refinancing Revolving Facility, such Refinancing Facility shall have a final maturity no earlier than the Incremental Revolving Facility Maturity Date and shall require no amortization or mandatory commitment reduction prior to the Incremental Revolving Facility Maturity Date, unless accompanied by at least ratable amortization or mandatory commitment reduction, as applicable, of the Incremental Revolving Loans; and
(v) to the extent such terms and documentation for the Refinancing Facility are not substantially consistent with the applicable Loan Documents, they shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, unless such terms (A) are more favorable to the Borrower, taken as a whole, than the Loan Documents in respect of the Incremental Revolving Facility, in the case of a Refinancing Revolving Facility, or the Term Loan Facility, in the case of a Refinancing Term Facility (or the Lenders under the Incremental Revolving Facility or Term Loan Facility, as applicable, receive the benefit of the more restrictive terms, which, for avoidance of doubt, may be provided to them without their consent), in each case, as certified by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower in good faith, (B) concern pricing (including interest rates, rate floors, fees, OID or other fees), the amortization schedule, commitment reductions, prepayments and any prepayment premiums applicable to such Refinancing Facility or (C) apply after the Maturity Date.
(e) Amendment. With the consent of the Lenders providing a Refinancing Facility, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (and without the consent of the other Lenders), this Agreement shall be amended in a writing (which may be executed and delivered by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) to reflect any changes necessary to give effect to such Refinancing Facility in accordance with its terms (including, without limitation, to give such Refinancing Facility the benefits of Section 2.05, as applicable).
(f) Conflicting Provisions. This Section shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.13 to the contrary.
2.17 Cash Collateral.
95
NAI-1504047260v2
US-DOCS\110323336.25

(a) Sections 2.03, 2.05 and 8.02(c) set forth certain additional requirements to deliver Cash Collateral hereunder. For purposes of Sections 2.03, 2.05 and 8.02(c), “Cash Collateralize” means to pledge and deposit with or deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuers and the Incremental Revolving Lenders, as collateral for the L/C Obligations, cash or deposit account balances pursuant to documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the applicable L/C Issuer (which documents are hereby consented to by the Incremental Revolving Lenders) in an amount equal to 103% of such L/C Obligations. Derivatives of such term have corresponding meanings. The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Incremental Revolving Lender, such Incremental Revolving Lender, hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuers and the Incremental Revolving Lenders, a security interest in all such cash and such deposit account balances therein and all proceeds of the foregoing. Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked deposit accounts at the Administrative Agent or another institution reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) Cash Collateral or other credit support (and proceeds thereof) provided by any Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.03 to support the obligations of such Lender in respect of Letters of Credit shall be held and applied, first, to fund the L/C Advances of such Lender or such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of Incremental Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans that are used to repay Unreimbursed Amounts or L/C Advances with respect to which such collateral or other credit support was provided, as applicable, and, second, to fund any interest accrued for the benefit of the applicable L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(vi) allocable to such Lender, and (ii) Cash Collateral and other credit support (and proceeds thereof) otherwise provided by or on behalf of any Loan Party under Sections 2.03, 2.05(c) or 8.02(c) to support L/C Obligations shall be held and applied, first, to the satisfaction of the specific L/C Obligations or obligations to fund participations therein of the applicable Defaulting Lender for which the Cash Collateral or other credit support was so provided and, second, if remedies under Section 8.02 shall have been exercised, to the application of such collateral or other credit support (or proceeds thereof) to any other Secured Obligations in accordance with Section 8.04.
(c) Cash Collateral and other credit support (or a portion thereof as provided in clause (2) below) provided under Section 2.03 in connection with any Lender’s status as a Defaulting Lender shall be released to the Person that provided such collateral or other credit support (except as the applicable L/C Issuer and the Person providing such collateral or other credit support may agree otherwise (as applicable)) promptly following the earlier to occur of (A) the termination of such Lender’s status as a Defaulting Lender or (B) the applicable L/C Issuer’s good faith determination, (1) in the case of such Cash Collateral or other credit support provided by or on behalf a Defaulting Lender, that there remain outstanding no L/C Obligations as to which it has actual or potential fronting exposure in relation to such Lender as to which it desires to maintain Cash Collateral or other credit support and (2) in the case of such Cash Collateral or other credit support provided by or on behalf of a Loan Party, that the outstanding L/C Obligations as to which it has actual or potential fronting exposure in relation to such Lender are less than the value of such Cash Collateral or other credit support provided (such release to be provided upon reasonable request from the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and only to the extent of the excess amount of Cash Collateral or other credit support provided); subject, however, to the additional condition that, as to any such collateral or other credit support
96
NAI-1504047260v2
US-DOCS\110323336.25

provided by or on behalf of a Loan Party, no Default or Event of Default shall then have occurred and be continuing.
2.18 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, 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:
(a) Reallocation of Loan Payments. Any payment or prepayment (i) of any portion of the principal amount of Loans of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise) shall be applied, first, to the Loans of other Incremental Revolving Lenders as if such Defaulting Lender had no Loans outstanding, until such time as the Outstanding Amount of Incremental Revolving Loans of each Lender shall equal its pro rata share thereof based on its Applicable Percentage (without giving effect to Section 2.18(c)), ratably to the Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages of Loans being repaid or prepaid, second, to the then outstanding amounts (including interest thereon) owed under the terms hereof by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or (to the extent the Administrative Agent has received notice thereof) to any other Lender, ratably to the Persons entitled thereto, third, to the posting of Cash Collateral in respect of its Applicable Percentage of L/C Obligations, ratably to the L/C Issuers in accordance with their respective applicable fronting exposure, and fourth, the balance, if any, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction, and (ii) of any other amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (including amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.08) to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender and applied on behalf of such Defaulting Lender, first, to the liabilities above referred to in item second of clause (i) above, second, to the matters above referred to in item third of clause (i) above, and third, the balance, if any, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Any of such amounts as are reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.18(a) that are payable or paid (including pursuant to Section 10.08) to such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed paid to such Defaulting Lender and applied by the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender hereby irrevocably consents thereto.
(b) Certain Fees. Such Defaulting Lender (i) shall not be entitled to receive any commitment fee on the unused portion of its Commitment pursuant to Section 2.09(a) for any period during which such Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender in respect of its unused Commitment) and (ii) shall not be entitled to receive any Letter of Credit Fees pursuant to Section 2.03(i) for any period during which such Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and, unless required by the following sentence, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender). If any Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations are neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.18, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the L/C Issuer or any Lender hereunder, all fees payable to such Defaulting Lender under Section 2.03 shall be payable to the L/C Issuer until such L/C Obligations are Cash Collateralized or reallocated.
97
NAI-1504047260v2
US-DOCS\110323336.25

(c) Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure. During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.03, the “Applicable Percentage” of each non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender in either the numerator or the denominator; provided, that, in all cases, the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, between (1) the Commitment of such non-Defaulting Lender and (2) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Incremental Revolving Loans of such Lender, plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all other L/C Obligations (prior to giving effect to such reallocation). For avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.18(c) will operate for the benefit of the L/C Issuer notwithstanding the fact that a Letter of Credit is issued at the time that one or more Defaulting Lenders exist hereunder (regardless of whether the L/C Issuer has notice thereof). Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary, during any period in which a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing the provisions of this Section 2.18(c) shall not apply.
A Lender that has become a Defaulting Lender because of an event referenced in the definition of Defaulting Lender may cure such status and shall no longer constitute a Defaulting Lender as a result of such event when (i) such Defaulting Lender shall have fully funded or paid, as applicable, all Loans, participations in respect of Letters of Credit or other amounts required to be funded or paid by it hereunder as to which it is delinquent (together, in each case, with such interest thereon as shall be required to any Person as otherwise provided in this Agreement), (ii) the Administrative Agent and each of the Borrower shall have received a certification by such Defaulting Lender of its ability and intent to comply with the provisions of this Agreement going forward, and (iii) each of (w) the Administrative Agent, (x) any L/C Issuer and any other Lender as to which a delinquent obligation was owed and (y) the Borrower, shall have determined (and notified the Administrative Agent) that they are satisfied, in their sole discretion, that such Defaulting Lender intends to continue to perform its obligations as a Lender hereunder and has all approvals required to enable it, to continue to perform its obligations as a Lender hereunder. No reference in this subsection to an event being “cured” shall by itself preclude any claim by any Person against any Lender that becomes a Defaulting Lender for such damages as may otherwise be available to such Person arising from any failure to fund or pay any amount when due hereunder or from any other event that gave rise to such Lender’s status as a Defaulting Lender.
2.19 Dutch Auction Repurchases.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries may at any time and from time to time purchase Term Loans, Incremental Term Loans and Refinancing Term Loans by conducting modified Dutch auctions (each, an “Auction”) (each Auction to be managed exclusively by the Administrative Agent or another investment bank of recognized standing elected by the Borrower following consultation with the Administrative Agent in accordance with the Auction Procedures (in such capacity, the “Auction Manager”)), so long as the following conditions are satisfied:

(iii) the aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of all Term Loans, Incremental Term Loans and Refinancing Term Loans so purchased by the Borrower or its Subsidiaries shall immediately and automatically be cancelled and retired by them on the settlement date of the relevant purchase (and may not be resold);
(iv) the Borrower will promptly advise the Administrative Agent of the total amount of all Term Loans, Incremental Term Loans and Refinancing Term Loans so purchased by the Borrower or its Subsidiaries and the Administrative Agent is authorized to make appropriate entries in the Register to reflect such cancellation and retirement; and
(v) no more than one Auction may be ongoing at any one time.; and
(vi) no proceeds of Revolving Loans shall be utilized by the Borrower or any Subsidiary to purchase any Term Loans, Incremental Term Loans and Refinancing Term Loans.
(b) The Borrower shall have no liability to any Lender for any termination of the respective Auction 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 purchase of Term Loans, Incremental Term Loans or Refinancing Term Loans pursuant to the respective Auction, and any such failure shall not result in any Default hereunder. With respect to all purchases of Term Loans, Incremental Term Loans and Refinancing Term Loans made by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.19, (i) the Borrower 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, Incremental Term Loans and Refinancing Term Loans up to the settlement date of such purchase and (ii) such purchases (and the payments made by the Borrower or its Subsidiaries and the cancellation of the purchased Term Loans, Incremental Term Loans or Refinancing Loans, in each case, in connection therewith) shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Sections 2.05 or 2.07.
(c) The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the Auctions and the other transactions contemplated by this Section 2.19 (provided that no Lender shall have an obligation to participate in any such Auctions) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.05, 2.07, 2.12, 2.13 and 10.06, it being understood and acknowledged that purchases of the Term Loans, Incremental Term Loans and Refinancing Term Loans by the Borrower or its Subsidiaries contemplated by
99
NAI-1504047260v2
US-DOCS\110323336.25

this Section 2.19 shall not constitute Investments by the Borrower) that may otherwise prohibit any Auction or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.19. The Auction Manager acting in its capacity as such hereunder shall be entitled to the benefits of the provisions of Article IX and Section 10.04 mutatis mutandis as if each reference therein to the “Administrative Agent” 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 Auction.
2.20 Open Market Repurchases.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries may at any time and from time to time make open market purchases of Term Loans, Incremental Term Loans and Refinancing Term Loans (each, an “Open Market Purchase”), so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the time of such Open Market Purchase; provided that no proceeds of Revolving Loans shall be utilized by the Borrower or any Subsidiary to purchase any Term Loans, Incremental Term Loans and Refinancing Term Loans.
(b) The aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of all Term Loans, Incremental Term Loans and Refinancing Term Loans so purchased by the Borrower or its Subsidiaries shall immediately and automatically be cancelled and retired by them on the settlement date of the relevant purchase (and may not be resold).

ARTICLE III.
TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY
3.01 Taxes.
(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on behalf of any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith of the applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01(a)) the Administrative Agent, Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made.
(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. Without duplication of any obligation set forth in subsection (a) above, the Loan Parties shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of any Other Taxes.
(c) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each L/C Issuer within 10 days after demand therefor for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by, or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to, the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment made by or on account of any obligation of the Loan Parties under 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 the Borrower by a Lender or an L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or an L/C Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 3.01, the applicable 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, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(e) Status of Lenders. Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law and from time to time when reasonably requested by the Borrower
101
NAI-1504047260v2
US-DOCS\110323336.25

or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.
Each Lender that is not a Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter as prescribed by applicable law or upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or Administrative Agent), two duly completed and executed copies of IRS Form W-9.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Foreign Lender holding any Loan to the Borrower shall deliver to the 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 request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), two copies of whichever of the following is applicable or any subsequent version thereof or successor thereto:
(i) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, duly completed and executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty,
(ii) duly completed and executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI,
(iii) 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 M-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) duly completed and executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable,
(iv) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, duly completed and executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit M-2 or Exhibit M-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio
102
NAI-1504047260v2
US-DOCS\110323336.25

interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit M-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner, and
(v) duly completed and executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax duly completed and executed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; provided, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.01(e), the completion, execution and submission of the documentation described in this clause (v) 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.
If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times as reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for the purposes of this paragraph, “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender nor any Participant shall be required to deliver any form or other document under this Section 3.01(e) that it is not legally entitled to deliver.
(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer receives a refund with respect to Taxes to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.01 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01), which in the reasonable discretion and good faith judgment of such Administrative Agent, Lender or L/C Issuer is allocable to such payment, it shall promptly pay such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such Administrative Agent, Lender or L/C Issuer incurred in obtaining such refund and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, however, that the Borrower agrees to promptly return such amount, net of any incremental additional costs (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant
103
NAI-1504047260v2
US-DOCS\110323336.25

Governmental Authority), to the applicable Administrative Agent, Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, if it receives notice from the applicable Administrative Agent, Lender or L/C Issuer that such Administrative Agent, Lender or L/C Issuer is required to repay such refund to the relevant Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (f), in no event will the Administrative Agent, any Lender or L/C Issuer be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph (f) the payment of which would place the Administrative Agent, any Lender or L/C Issuer in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Lender or L/C Issuer to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.
(g) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.01 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.
3.02 Illegality. If any Lender determines that as a result of any Change in Law it becomes unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurocurrency Rate Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the applicable interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (a) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurocurrency Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loan to Eurocurrency Rate Loans, shall be suspended and (b) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate, in each case, until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or convert all such Eurocurrency Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender, which it shall do as promptly as possible, that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge
104
NAI-1504047260v2
US-DOCS\110323336.25

interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.
3.03 Inability to Determine Rates.
If the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (a i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurocurrency Rate (including because the Eurocurrency Rate is not available or published on a current basis) for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan, or (b ii) the Eurocurrency Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Eurocurrency Rate Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, (i) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Loans in the affected currency or currencies shall be suspended and (ii) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Eurocurrency Rate component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case, until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders, who agree to so instruct the Administrative Agent once the circumstances giving rise to the inability ability to determine rates no longer exist) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.
3.04 Increased Costs; Reserves on Eurocurrency Rate Loans.
(a) Increased Costs Generally. 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 reserve requirement reflected in the Eurocurrency Rate contemplated by Section 3.04(e));
(ii) subject any Lender, any L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent to any Taxes (other than Indemnified Taxes or Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or
(iii) impose on any Lender or any L/C Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency Rate Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein (other than Taxes addressed by Section 3.01 and Excluded Taxes);
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurocurrency Rate Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or such L/C Issuer of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any
105
NAI-1504047260v2
US-DOCS\110323336.25

Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or L/C Issuer hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon written request of such Lender or L/C Issuer setting forth in reasonable detail such increased costs, the Borrower will pay to such Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered; provided that before making any such demand, each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions and so long as such efforts would not be materially disadvantageous to it, in its reasonable discretion, in any legal, economic or regulatory manner) to designate a different Eurocurrency lending office if the making of such designation would allow the Lender or its Eurocurrency lending office to continue to perform its obligation to make Eurocurrency Rate Loans or to continue to fund or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Loans and avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such increased cost.
(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or any L/C Issuer reasonably determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or L/C Issuer or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time, after submission to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor setting forth in reasonable detail the change and the calculation of such reduced rate of return, the Borrower will pay to such Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or L/C Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or L/C Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section, describing the basis therefor and showing the calculation thereof in reasonable detail, and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof.
(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any L/C Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an L/C Issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 90 days prior to the date that such Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in
106
NAI-1504047260v2
US-DOCS\110323336.25

Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 90-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
(e) Additional Reserve Requirements. The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, (i) as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurocurrency Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as reasonably determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive, absent manifest error), and (ii) as long as such Lender shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any other central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the maintenance of the Commitments or the funding of the Eurocurrency Rate Loans, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Commitment or Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive, absent manifest error), which in each case shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided the Borrower shall have received at least 10 Business Days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest or costs from such Lender describing the basis therefor and showing the calculation thereof, in each case, in reasonable detail. If a Lender fails to give notice 10 Business Days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest or costs shall be due and payable within 30 days from receipt of such notice.
(f) Certain Rules Relating to the Payment of Additional Amounts. If any Lender requests compensation pursuant to this Section 3.04, or the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, such Lender shall either (A) forego payment of such additional amount from the Borrower or (B) reasonably afford the Borrower the opportunity to contest, and reasonably cooperate with the Borrower in contesting, the imposition of any Indemnified Taxes or other amounts giving rise to such payment; provided that the Borrower shall reimburse such Lender for its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs, including reasonable and documented attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and disbursements incurred in so cooperating with the Borrower in contesting the imposition of such Indemnified Taxes or other amounts.
3.05 Compensation for Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:
(a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);
(b) any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower;
107
NAI-1504047260v2
US-DOCS\110323336.25

(c) any failure by the Borrower to make payment of any drawing under any Letter of Credit (or interest due thereon) denominated in an Alternative Currency or its scheduled due date or any payment thereof in a different currency; or
(d) any assignment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 10.13;
including any foreign exchange losses and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan, from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained or from the performance of any foreign exchange contract, but excluding any loss of anticipated profits. The Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.
For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurocurrency Rate Loan made by it at the Eurocurrency Rate used in determining the Eurocurrency Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the offshore interbank market for such currency for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurocurrency Rate Loan was in fact so funded.
3.06 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.
(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then such Lender shall (i) 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 reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (A) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (B) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender and (ii) promptly inform the Borrower and Administrative Agent when the circumstances giving rise to the applicability of such Sections no longer exists. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02 or if any Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 10.13.
3.07 Survival. The parties’ obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may amend this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (and may authorize the Collateral Trustee to amend the Collateral Trust Agreement) without the consent of any Lender (a) to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, error, defect or inconsistency (as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent), so long as such amendment, modification or supplement does not adversely affect the rights of any Lender or the Lenders shall have received at least five Business Days’ prior written notice thereof and the Administrative agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date of such notice to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that the Required Lenders object to such amendment, (b) to add a Guarantor with respect to the Loans or collateral to secure the Loans or (c) to make administrative changes that do not adversely affect the rights of any Lender (including as contemplated by Section 2.15(d)(v), 2.16(d)(v) and the definition of Permitted Amendments).

The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, make one or more offers to all Lenders under the applicable Facility to make one or more Permitted Amendments to such Facility pursuant to procedures reasonably specified by the Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Borrower.

The Borrower and each Accepting Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent such documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the acceptance of the Permitted Amendments and the terms and conditions thereof. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Permitted Amendment. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Permitted Amendment, this Agreement shall be deemed amended, as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the terms and provisions of the Permitted Amendment with respect to the Loans and Commitments of the Accepting Lenders (including any amendments necessary to treat the Loans and Commitments of the Accepting Lenders in a manner consistent with the other Loans and Commitments under this Agreement or as contemplated by the Permitted Amendment).
The Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the concurrence of any Lender or any L/C Issuer, execute amendments, modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of such Lender or L/C Issuer. Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on any

Loan Party in any case shall entitle any Loan Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
Any such waiver and any such amendment or modification pursuant to this Section 10.01 shall be binding upon the Borrower, the Lenders, the L/C Issuers the Administrative Agent and all future holders of the Loans. In the case of any waiver, the Borrower, the Lenders, L/C Issuers and the Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and any Default or Event of Default that is waived pursuant to this Section 10.01 shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing during the period of such waiver.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no party hereto shall assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against the Borrower and its Affiliates or any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that such waiver shall not limit any Loan Party’s reimbursement or indemnification obligations under Sections 10.04(a) or 10.4(b), respectively. No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above or the Borrower and its Affiliates shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except to the extent such damages result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
(e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than ten Business Days after demand therefor.
(f) Survival. The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation of the Agents and the Arrangers or any L/C Issuer, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations and Secured Hedging Obligations. The reimbursement, indemnity and contribution obligations of the Borrower under this Section 10.04 will be in addition to any liability which the Borrower may otherwise have, will extend upon the same terms and conditions to any affiliate of any Indemnitee and the partners, members, directors, agents, employees, and controlling persons (if any), as the case may be, of any Indemnitee and any such affiliate, and will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors and assigns of the Borrower, any Indemnitee, any such affiliate, and any such Person.
10.05 Marshalling; Payments Set Aside. Neither any Agent nor any Lender or Collateral Trustee shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Loan Party or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations.

US-DOCS\110323336.25

and such payment or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Agents, the Arrangers, such L/C Issuer or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or related thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender and L/C Issuer severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight NYFRB Rate from time to time in effect, in the applicable currency of such recovery or payment. The obligations of the Lenders and L/C Issuers under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive Payment in Full and the termination of this Agreement.
10.06 Successors and Assigns.
(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder, except through a transaction permitted hereunder, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection (f) of this Section.

(i) except (a) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it, which such amount is less than the applicable minimum transfer amount set forth below, or (b) in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding
175
NAI-1504047260v2
US-DOCS\110323336.25

balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less $2,500,000 in the case of Incremental Revolving Commitments or Incremental Revolving Loans and shall not be less than $1,000,000 100,000 in the case of Term Loan Commitments or Term Loans, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default under Section 8.01(a), (f) or (g) has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to an assignment unless it shall have objected thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within seven five (7 5) Business Days after having received notice thereof; provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met; provided, further, that no assignment of Revolving Commitments or Revolving Loans shall be made without the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of the L/C Issuers;
(ii) 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 with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned;
(iii) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500 (provided however, that (i) the Administrative Agent may in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment and (ii) the Administrative Agent does hereby waive such processing and recordation fee in connection with an assignment by or to Goldman Sachs JPMorgan Chase Bank USA, N.A. or any Affiliate thereof or in the case of an assignee which is already a Lender or is an affiliate or Approved Fund of a Lender or a Person under common management with a Lender) and the Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire and such forms, certificate or other evidence, if any, as the assignee under such Assignment and Assumption may be required to deliver pursuant to Section 3.01; and
(iv) pro rata assignments shall not be required and each assignment shall be of a uniform, and not varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under and in respect of any applicable Loan and related Commitments.
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof in the Register by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the closing date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall
176
NAI-1504047260v2
US-DOCS\110323336.25

cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements of Section 3.01(e)), 3.04, 3.05 and 10.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the closing date of such assignment. Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section.
In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the Assignment and Assumption shall make such additional payments to Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations, or other compensating actions, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full Applicable Percentage of all Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.
Each Lender, upon execution and delivery hereof or upon succeeding to an interest in the Commitments and Loans, as the case may be, represents and warrants as of the Closing Date or as of the effective date of such Assignment and Assumption that (i) it is an Eligible Assignee; (ii) it has experience and expertise in the making of or investing in commitments or loans such as the applicable Commitments or Loans, as the case may be and (iii) it will make or invest in, as the case may be, its Commitments or Loans for its own account in the ordinary course and without a view to distribution of such Commitments or Loans within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or other federal securities laws (it being understood that, subject to the provisions of this Section 10.06, the disposition of such Commitments or Loans or any interests therein shall at all times remain within its exclusive control).
(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office 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 Commitments of, and principal amounts of (and stated interest on) the Loans and L/C Obligations 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 Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. Any assignment of any Loan, whether or not evidenced by a Note, shall be effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the Register (and each Note shall expressly so provide). The Register shall be
177
NAI-1504047260v2
US-DOCS\110323336.25

available for inspection by the Borrower and the L/C Issuers at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.
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, to the extent that it has a consent right hereunder, will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in clauses (a), (b), (c), (g) and (h) of the first proviso to Section 10.01 that affects such Participant (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Commitment shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in any Commitment or Loan shall be permitted without the consent of any participant if the participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof). Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment, provided, that in the case of Section 3.01, such Participant shall have complied with the requirements of such section (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.01(e) shall be delivered to the participating Lender). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender; such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender.
Each Lender that sells a participation, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent (solely for tax purposes) of the Borrower, shall maintain a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Participants and principal amount of (and stated interest on) each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (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 the relevant parties, acting reasonably and in good faith, determine that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Treasury Regulations Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States and Proposed Treasury Regulations Section 1.163-5(b) (or any amended or successor version). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender and each Loan Party shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof
178
NAI-1504047260v2
US-DOCS\110323336.25

as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.
(e) Limitation upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05 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 Borrower’s prior written consent. No Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 3.01(e) as though it were a Lender.
(f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note(s), if any) to secure obligations of such Lender to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto; provided further, that in no event shall the applicable Federal Reserve Bank, pledgee or trustee, be considered to be a “Lender” or be entitled to require the assigning Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder.
(g) Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures 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 or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for 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.
(h) Resignation as L/C Issuer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any L/C Issuer may, upon (A) 30 days’ notice to the Borrower and the Lenders (or such shorter time as the applicable resigning L/C Issuer, successor L/C Issuer, Borrower and Administrative Agent may agree) and (B) the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer and satisfaction of the requirements of the penultimate sentence of this Section 10.06(h), resign as L/C Issuer. In the event of notice of any such resignation as L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Incremental Revolving Lenders (or a Person who will become an Incremental a Revolving Lender) and their Affiliates a successor L/C Issuer who agrees to assume all such rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning L/C Issuer, including with respect to its L/C Issuance Limit; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of such L/C Issuer if the resigning L/C Issuer finds a replacement L/C Issuer that is an Eligible L/C Issuer or, if not an Eligible L/C Issuer, that is reasonably acceptable to the Borrower (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) who agrees to assume all such rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning L/C Issuer, including with respect to its L/C Issuance Limit). If an L/C Issuer resigns as L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of an L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to Letters of Credit and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans, fund risk participations in
179
NAI-1504047260v2
US-DOCS\110323336.25

Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c) and issue Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.03). Upon the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning L/C Issuer, including with respect to its L/C Issuance Limit, (b) the resigning L/C Issuer shall be discharged from all of its respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, in its capacity as an L/C Issuer, and (c) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue Letters of Credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the resigning L/C Issuer and the Borrower (such acceptance not to unreasonably withheld or delayed) to effectively assume the obligations of such L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit. In lieu of the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer pursuant to this Section 10.06(h), the Borrower may appoint one or more successor L/C Issuers to satisfy the requirements of this Section 10.06(h).
(i) Notwithstanding any other provision in the Loan Documents, any Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations with respect to Term Loans, Incremental Term Loans and Refinancing Term Loans under this Agreement to the Borrower through Dutch auctions in accordance with Section 2.19 and open market purchases in accordance with Section 2.20.
10.07 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the Agents, Arrangers, the Lenders and L/C Issuers agrees that it will treat as confidential (to the extent clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential) all information provided to it hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or on behalf of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (collectively, “Information”) in accordance with the Agents’, Arrangers’, the Lenders’ and the L/C Issuers’ applicable customary procedures for handling confidential information of such nature, except to the extent such Information (a) is publicly available or becomes publicly available other than by reason of disclosure by the Agents, Arrangers, the Lenders or the L/C Issuers, any of their respective affiliates or representatives in violation of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, (b) was received by the Agents, Arrangers, the Lenders or the L/C Issuers from a source (other than the Borrower or any of its affiliates, advisors, members, directors, employees, agents or other representatives) not known by the Agents, Arrangers, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers to be prohibited from disclosing such Information to such Person by a legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation to the Borrower and (c) was already in the Agents’, Arrangers’, the Lenders’ and the L/C Issuers’ possession from a source other than the Borrower or any of its affiliates, advisors, members, directors, employees, agents or other representatives or is independently developed by such Person without the use of or reference to any such Information; provided, however, that nothing herein will prevent the Agents, Arrangers, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers from disclosing any such Information (including Information regarding Disqualified Institutions) (a) pursuant to the order of any court or administrative agency or in any pending legal or administrative proceeding, or otherwise as required by applicable Law or compulsory legal process (in which case such Person agrees to inform the Borrower promptly thereof to the extent not prohibited by law), (b) upon the request or demand of any regulatory authority or any self-regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such Person or any of its affiliates, (c) to such Person’s affiliates and their respective officers, directors, partners, members, employees, legal counsel, independent auditors and other experts or agents who need to know such Information and on a confidential basis, (d) to potential and prospective Lenders,
180
NAI-1504047260v2
US-DOCS\110323336.25

assignees, participants and any direct or indirect contractual counterparties to any Hedging Agreement swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower or and its obligations under this Agreement (other than Disqualified Institutions), in each case, subject to such recipient’s agreement (which agreement may be in writing or by “click through” agreement or other affirmative action on the part of the recipient to access such Information and acknowledge its confidentiality obligations in respect thereof pursuant to customary syndication practice) to keep such Information confidential on substantially the terms set forth in this Section 10.07, (e) to ratings agencies who have agreed to keep such Information confidential on terms no less restrictive than this Section 10.07 in any material respect or otherwise on terms acceptable to the Borrower in connection with obtaining ratings of the Term Loans, (f) for purposes of establishing a “due diligence” defense, (g) on a confidential basis, to the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the Loans or (h) disclosures in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder. In addition, the Agents may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Agents in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Each of the Agents, the Arrangers, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning the Borrower or a Subsidiary, the Loan Parties and their Related Parties or their respective securities, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with those procedures and applicable Laws, including Federal and state securities laws. All information, including requests for waivers and amendments, furnished by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent pursuant to, or in the course of administering, this Agreement will be syndicate-level information, which may contain material non-public information concerning the Borrower, the Loan Parties and their Related Parties or their respective securities. Accordingly, each Lender represents to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it has identified in its Administrative Questionnaire a credit contact who may receive information that may contain material non-public information in accordance with its compliance procedures and applicable Laws, including Federal and state securities laws.
10.08 Right of Setoff. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default or at maturity each Lender and L/C Issuer is hereby authorized by each Loan Party at any time or from time to time subject to the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), without notice to any Loan Party or to any other Person (other than the Administrative Agent), any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including Indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, but not including trust accounts) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Lender or L/C Issuer to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of any Loan Party to such Lender or L/C Issuer hereunder, including all claims of any nature or description arising out
181
NAI-1504047260v2
US-DOCS\110323336.25

of or connected hereto, irrespective of whether or not (a) such Lender or L/C Issuer shall have made any demand hereunder or (b) the principal of or the interest on the Loans or any other amounts due hereunder shall have become due and payable pursuant to Article II and although such obligations and liabilities, or any of them, may be contingent or unmatured; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Sections 2.18 and 8.04 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender, L/C Issuer and their respective Affiliates under this Section 10.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or L/C Issuer or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and L/C Issuer agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.
10.09 Usury Savings Clause. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the aggregate interest rate charged with respect to any of the Obligations, including all charges or fees in connection therewith deemed in the nature of interest under applicable law shall not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. If the rate of interest (determined without regard to the preceding sentence) under this Agreement at any time exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder shall bear interest at the Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest due hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect. In addition, if when the Loans made hereunder are repaid in full the total interest due hereunder (taking into account the increase provided for above) is less than the total amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then to the extent permitted by law, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest paid and the amount of interest which would have been paid if the Highest Lawful Rate had at all times been in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of Lenders and the Borrower to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws. Accordingly, if any Lender contracts for, charges, or receives any consideration which constitutes interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then any such excess shall be cancelled automatically and, if previously paid, shall at such Lender’s option be applied to the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder or be refunded to the Borrower.
10.10 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 and the other Loan Documents 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; provided that the provisions contained in the Fee Letters and that certain Commitment Engagement Letter dated January 11, 2017,September 4, 2019 by and

Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or other electronic imaging means (i.e., “pdf” or “tif”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
10.11 Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements. All representations, warranties and agreements made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof and the funding of any Borrowing. Such representations, warranties and agreements have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding. Notwithstanding anything herein or implied by law to the contrary, the agreements of each Loan Party set forth in Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, 10.04(a), 10.04(b) and 10.08 and the agreements of Lenders set forth in Sections 2.13, 9.03 and 10.04(c) shall survive the payment of the Loans and the termination hereof.
10.12 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any obligation hereunder or under any other Loan Document is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions or obligations with valid provisions or obligations the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions or obligations. The invalidity of a provision or obligation in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction.
10.13 Replacement of Lenders. If (a) any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, (b) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, (c) any Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender or has given notice pursuant to Section 3.02 or (d) any Lender becomes a “Nonconsenting Lender” (hereinafter defined), then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to (and such Lender shall) assign and delegate, without recourse (in
183
NAI-1504047260v2
US-DOCS\110323336.25

accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.06), all of its interest, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee selected by the Borrower that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:
(a) the Administrative Agent shall have received the assignment fee specified in Section 10.06(b) (provided however, that the Administrative Agent may in its sole discretion elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment);
(b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and L/C Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.05) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);
(c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;
(d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws, and
(e) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be obligated to be or to find the assignee.
A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. In the event that (x) the Borrower or the Administrative Agent has requested the Lenders to consent to a departure or waiver of any provisions of the Loan Documents or to agree to any amendment thereto and (y) the Required Lenders, Required Revolving Lenders or Required Facility Lenders, as applicable, have agreed to such consent, waiver or amendment, then any such Lender, who does not agree to such consent, waiver or amendment and whose consent would otherwise be required for such departure, waiver or amendment, shall be deemed a “Nonconsenting Lender.” Any such replacement shall not be deemed a waiver of any rights that the Borrower shall have against the replaced Lender.
Each Lender agrees that if the Borrower exercises its option hereunder to cause an assignment by such Lender as a Nonconsenting Lender or otherwise pursuant to this Section 10.13, such Lender shall, promptly after receipt of written notice of such election, execute and deliver all documentation necessary to effectuate such assignment in accordance with Section 10.06. In the event that a Lender does not comply with the requirements of the immediately preceding sentence within one Business Day after receipt of such notice, 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 10.06 on behalf of a Nonconsenting Lender or Lender replaced pursuant to this Section 10.13, and any such documentation so executed by the Administrative Agent shall be effective for purposes of documenting an assignment pursuant to Section 10.06.

In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), the Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Agents and the Arrangers and the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and

10.20 [Reserved]
10.21 Release of Liens and Release from Guaranty.
(a) The Collateral Trust Agreement shall govern the release of security interests in Collateral as security for the Secured Obligations (A) after Payment in Full and the termination or expiration of all Secured Hedging Agreements (other than obligations and liabilities under Secured Hedging Agreements that have been cash collateralized or as to which other arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the applicable counterparties shall have been made) and payment of any obligations due and owing under all Secured Hedging Agreements, (B) upon any sale or other transfer by any Loan Party of any Collateral that is permitted under this Agreement (other than a sale or other transfer to a Loan Party) or upon effectiveness of any written direction by the consent to the release of the security interest created under any Security Document in any Collateral pursuant to Section 10.01, (C) upon a designation of a Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary permitted hereunder, with respect to the Collateral owned by such Unrestricted Subsidiary, (D) upon the approval, authorization or ratification in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other percentage of the Lenders whose consent is required by Section 10.01) with respect to the release of such Collateral and (E) upon a Guarantor no longer being a
187
NAI-1504047260v2
US-DOCS\110323336.25

Guarantor by virtue of the definition thereof or a transaction permitted hereunder, with respect to the Collateral owned by such Guarantor. After either (v) Payment in Full and the termination or expiration of all Secured Hedging Agreements (other than obligations and liabilities under Secured Hedging Agreements that have been cash collateralized or as to which other arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the applicable counterparties shall have been made) and payment of any obligations due and owing under all Secured Hedging Agreements, (w) upon any sale or other transfer of a Loan Parry that is permitted under this Agreement (other than a sale or other transfer to a Loan Party), (x) upon a designation of a Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary permitted hereunder, (y) upon the approval, authorization or ratification in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other percentage of the Lenders whose consent is required by Section 10.01) with respect to the release of any Guarantor under the terms of the Guaranty or (z) upon a Guarantor no longer being a Guarantor by virtue of the definition thereof or a transaction permitted hereunder, each applicable Guarantor (or, in the case of clause (w) above, the applicable Guarantor so sold or transferred) shall automatically be released from the Guaranty, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any Person; provided that any such release of guarantee obligations shall be deemed subject to the provision that such guarantee obligations shall be reinstated if after such release any portion of any payment in respect of the Obligations guaranteed thereby shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, in connection with any termination or release pursuant to this Section 10.21, the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Trustee shall be, and are hereby irrevocably authorized by each Lender (without requirement of notice to or consent of any Lender) to execute and deliver, and shall promptly execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party, at such Loan Party’s expense, all documents that such Loan Party shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release (including (1) UCC termination statements and (2) in the case of a release of Mortgages, a partial release) and return to the Borrower, the possessory Collateral that is in the possession of the Collateral Trustee and is the subject of such release.
(c) Any execution and delivery of documents, or the taking of any other action, by the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Trustee pursuant to this Section 10.21 shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent or Collateral Trustee.
10.22 Independence of Covenants. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.
10.23 Independent Nature of Lenders’ Rights. Nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document, and no action taken by Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute Lenders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity. The amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate
188
NAI-1504047260v2
US-DOCS\110323336.25

and independent debt, and each Lender shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights arising out hereof and it shall not be necessary for any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.
10.24 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and
(b) the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:
(i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or
(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.
10.25 Original Issue Discount. THE TERM LOANS MAY BE TREATED AS ISSUED WITH ORIGINAL ISSUE DISCOUNT FOR UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES. THE ISSUE PRICE, AMOUNT OF ORIGINAL ISSUE DISCOUNT, ISSUE DATE AND YIELD TO MATURITY OF THE LOANS MAY BE OBTAINED BY WRITING TO THE BORROWER AT ITS ADDRESS SPECIFIED HEREIN.
10.26 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Hedging Agreements 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):
189
NAI-1504047260v2
US-DOCS\110323336.25

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.
