If any fees are to be paid or offered in connection with such increase, the Administrative Agent (with the consent of Borrowers) may also specify any fees offered to those Lenders (the “Increasing Lenders”) which agree to increase the amount of their respective Revolving Loan Commitment, which fees may be variable based upon the amount by which any such Lender is willing to increase the amount of its Revolving Loan Commitment; no Lender which is not an Increasing Lender shall be entitled to receive any such fees. No Lender shall have any obligation, express or implied, to increase the amount of its Revolving Loan Commitment. Only the consent of each Increasing Lender shall be required for an increase in the amount of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.01(b)(i). No Lender which elects not to increase the amount of its Revolving Loan Commitment may be replaced in respect of its existing Revolving Loan Commitment as a result thereof without such Lender’s written consent.

(ii)Each Increasing Lender shall, as soon as practicable after the Borrowers have submitted a request under Section 2.01(b)(i), specify the amount of the proposed increase in its Revolving Loan Commitment which it is willing to offer. To the extent the increased Revolving Loan Commitment of the Increasing Lenders is insufficient or there are no Increasing Lenders, the Borrowers may designate new lenders who qualify as Eligible Assignees and which are reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent as additional Lenders hereunder in accordance with this Section 2.01(b)(ii) (each such new Lender being a “New Lender”), which New Lender may assume all or a portion of the increase in the amount of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment. The Borrowers shall pay a fee to the Administrative Agent solely for the account of the Administrative Agent in connection with any such increase as set forth in the Fee Letter. The Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall have discretion jointly to adjust the allocation

of the increased aggregate principal amount of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment among Increasing Lenders and New Lenders.
(iii)Each New Lender designated by the Borrowers and reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent shall become an additional party hereto as a New Lender concurrently with the effectiveness of the proposed increase in the amount of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment upon its execution of an instrument of joinder, in each case prepared by the Administrative Agent and otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Each New Lender shall provide the documentation required by Section 2.12(g).
(iv)Subject to the foregoing, any increase in the Total Revolving Loan Commitment requested by the Borrowers shall be effective as of the date proposed by the Borrowers (the “Increase Effective Date”) and shall be in the principal amount equal to (i) the amount which the Increasing Lenders are willing to assume as increases to the amount of their Revolving Loan Commitments plus (ii) the amount offered by the New Lenders with respect to the Total Revolving Loan Commitment, in either case as adjusted by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent pursuant to the last sentence of Section 2.01(b)(ii).
(v)On or prior to the Increase Effective Date, with respect to any increase in the Total Revolving Loan Commitment, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the amount required to be paid by or to such Lender so that the Revolving Loans held by the Lenders on the Increase Effective Date (before giving effect to any new Revolving Loans made on such date) shall be held by each Lender pro rata in accordance with the Revolving Loan Commitments of the Lenders as adjusted pursuant to the last sentence of Section 2.01(b)(ii). Each Lender which is required to reduce the amount of Revolving Loans held by it (each such Lender, a “Decreasing Lender”) shall irrevocably assign, without recourse or warranty of any kind whatsoever (except that each Decreasing Lender warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the Revolving Loans assigned by it under this Section 2.01(b)(v) and that such Revolving Loans are held by such Decreasing Lender free and clear of adverse claims), to each Increasing Lender and New Lender participating in the applicable increase in the Total Revolving Loan Commitment, and each applicable Increasing Lender and New Lender shall irrevocably acquire from the Decreasing Lenders, a portion of the principal amount of the Revolving Loans of each Decreasing Lender (collectively, the “Acquired Portion”) outstanding on the Increase Effective Date (before giving effect to any new Revolving Loans made on such date) in an amount such that the principal amount of the Revolving Loans held by each applicable Increasing Lender, New Lender and Decreasing Lender as of the Increase Effective Date shall be held in accordance with each such Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share (if any) as of such date. Such assignment and acquisition shall be effective on the Increase Effective Date automatically and without any action required on the part of any party other than the payment by the applicable Increasing Lenders and New Lenders to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Decreasing Lenders of

-44-

​

​

​

an aggregate amount equal to the Acquired Portion, which amount shall be allocated and paid by the Administrative Agent at or before 12:00 noon on the Increase Effective Date to the Decreasing Lenders pro rata based upon the respective reductions in the principal amount of the Revolving Loans held by such Lenders on the Increase Effective Date (before giving effect to any new Revolving Loans made on such date). Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall adjust its records accordingly to reflect the payment of the Acquired Portion. The payments to be made in respect of the Acquired Portion shall be made by the applicable Increasing Lenders and New Lenders to the Administrative Agent in Dollars in immediately available funds at or before 11:00 a.m. on the Increase Effective Date, such payments to be made by the applicable Increasing Lenders and New Lenders pro rata based upon the respective increases in the amount of the Revolving Loan Commitments held by such Lenders on the Increase Effective Date.
(vi)To the extent any of the Revolving Loans acquired by the applicable Increasing Lenders and New Lenders from the Decreasing Lenders pursuant to Section 2.01(b)(v) above are SOFR Loans and the Increase Effective Date is not the last day of an Interest Period for such SOFR Loans, the Decreasing Lenders shall not be entitled to compensation from the Borrowers as provided in Section 2.13 (as if the Borrowers had prepaid such Revolving Loans in an amount equal to the Acquired Portion on the Increase Effective Date).
(c)Notice of Loan Borrowing. The Borrowers shall request each Revolving Loan Borrowing by delivering to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable written notice substantially in the form of Exhibit A (a “Notice of Loan Borrowing”), duly executed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrowers and appropriately completed (or shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone, to be promptly confirmed by the delivery to the Administrative Agent of a signed Notice of Loan Borrowing, which may be delivered by facsimile or e-mail), which specifies, among other things:

Each Letter of Credit shall be in a form acceptable to the L/C Issuer. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrowers’ ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrowers may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed.
(ii)The L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:
(A)any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Requirement of Law applicable to the L/C Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or request that the L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Sixth Restatement Effective Date, or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer any

(C)the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless all the Lenders have approved such expiry date;
(D)the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the L/C Issuer or the terms and conditions of the applicable Letter of Credit Application;
(E)such Letter of Credit is in a face amount less than $25,000, in the case of a Commercial Letter of Credit, or $100,000, in the case of any other type of Letter of Credit, or denominated in a currency other than Dollars;
(F)such Letter of Credit is in violation of the ISP, the UCP or other applicable Governmental Rule; or
(G)any Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender hereunder, unless such Lender’s Fronting Exposure has been reallocated to other Lenders in accordance with Section 2.16(a), Cash Collateral has been provided as set forth in Section 2.16(c) or the L/C Issuer has entered into arrangements satisfactory to the L/C Issuer with the Borrowers or such Defaulting Lender to eliminate the L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure.
(iii)The L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit.
(b)Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Evergreen Letters of Credit.
(i)Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrowers delivered to the 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 Borrowers. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., at least four (4) Business Days (or such later date and time as the L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in its

-50-

4140-1311-9828

​

​

​

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 satisfactory to the L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which date shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (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; (G) the account party thereunder, and (H) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may 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 satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which date shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may require.
(ii)Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Borrowers and, if not, the L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Upon receipt by the L/C Issuer of confirmation from the Administrative Agent that the requested issuance or amendment is permitted in accordance with the terms hereof, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the applicable Borrower or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the L/C Issuer a participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share times the amount of such Letter of Credit; provided, however, that the amount of such Lender’s participation shall be adjusted in the manner set forth in Section 2.16(a)(iv). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender upon the issuance of a Letter of Credit.
(iii)If the Borrowers so request in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions (each, an “Evergreen Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Evergreen Letter of Credit must permit the L/C Issuer to prevent any such renewal at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Nonrenewal 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 L/C Issuer, the Borrowers shall not be required to make a specific request to the L/C Issuer for any such renewal. Once an Evergreen Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the L/C Issuer to permit the

-51-

4140-1311-9828

​

​

​

renewal of such Letter of Credit at any time to a date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided, however, that the L/C Issuer shall not permit any such renewal if (A) the L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its renewed form under the terms hereof, or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the Business Day immediately preceding the Nonrenewal Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such renewal or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrowers that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 3.02 is not then satisfied. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the L/C Issuer shall have no obligation to permit the renewal of any Evergreen Letter of Credit at any time.
(iv)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 L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Borrowers 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 any drawing under any Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent of the amount to be paid by the L/C Issuer as a result of such drawing and the date on which payment is to be made by the L/C Issuer to the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit in respect of such drawing; provided, however, that in the case of Commercial Letters of Credit, subsequent notification by routine methods shall be deemed sufficient notice. Not later than 11:00 a.m., on the date of any payment by the L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (each such date of payment, an “Honor Date”), the Borrowers shall reimburse the L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing, which may be effected through the debiting of one or more deposit accounts maintained with the Administrative Agent. If the Borrowers fail to so reimburse the L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Lender’s L/C Risk Participation with respect thereto. In such event, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Loan Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Business Day following the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.01 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment and the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 (other than the delivery of a Notice of Loan Borrowing for Revolving Loans). Any notice given by the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.02(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided, that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

​

(ii)Each Lender (including the Lender acting as L/C Issuer) shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.02(c)(i) make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its L/C Risk Participation with respect to the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.02(c)(iii), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrowers in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the L/C Issuer.
(iii)With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Revolving Loan Borrowing because the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have incurred from the L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing 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 the rate applicable to Revolving Loans upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. In such event, each Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.02(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 2.02.
(iv)Until each Lender funds its Revolving Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.02(c) to reimburse the L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s L/C Risk Participation with respect thereto shall be solely for the account of the L/C Issuer. For the avoidance of doubt, interest shall accrue beginning on the Honor Date for any such draw under a Letter of Credit.
(v)Each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the L/C Issuer for, or participate in, amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.02(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the L/C Issuer, the Borrowers or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or Event of Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. Any such reimbursement shall not relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrowers to reimburse the L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.
(vi)If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.02(c) by the time specified in Section 2.02(c)(ii), the 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 the L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the daily Federal Funds Rate. A certificate of the L/C Issuer submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d)Repayment of Participations.
(i)At any time after the L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.02(c), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of the L/C Issuer any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Borrowers or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), or any payment of interest thereon, the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its L/C Risk Participation with respect to such Letter of Credit in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.

(xiv)any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrowers.

The Borrowers 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 Borrowers’ instructions or other irregularity, the Borrowers will immediately notify the L/C Issuer. The Borrowers shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

(f)Role of L/C Issuer. The Borrowers and the Lenders agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the L/C Issuer nor any of their respective affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents or advisors nor any of the correspondents, participants or assignees of the L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required 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 Letter of Credit Application. The Borrowers hereby assume 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 Borrowers from pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the L/C Issuer nor any of their respective affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents or advisors nor any of the correspondents, participants or assignees of the L/C Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in Section 2.02(e); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrowers may have a claim against the L/C Issuer, and the L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrowers, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrowers which are determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen from the L/C Issuer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or the L/C Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the 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. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, (i) if the L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, or (ii) if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any Letter of Credit may for any reason remain outstanding and partially or wholly undrawn, the Borrowers shall immediately Cash Collateralize the Obligations in an amount equal to the Minimum Collateral Amount. The Borrowers hereby grant to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuer and the Lenders, a Lien on all cash and deposit account balances described in the definition of “Cash Collateralize” as security for the Obligations. All Cash Collateral shall be maintained in a blocked, non-interest bearing deposit account with the Administrative Agent. Such accounts must be subject to a control agreement pursuant to which the Administrative Agent has “control,” as such term is used in the Uniform Commercial Code, sufficient to perfect on a first priority basis a security interest in such Cash Collateral. Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit for which funds are on deposit as Cash Collateral, such funds shall be applied, to the extent permitted under applicable laws, to reimburse the L/C Issuer. Cash Collateral provided under Section 2.06(d), Section 2.16(c) and this Section 2.02(g) shall be released to the Persons legally entitled thereto upon the satisfaction of each of the following conditions: (x) no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding, (y) all L/C Obligations shall have been repaid in full, and (z) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
(h)Applicability of ISP and UCP.

(i)Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrowers shall pay, to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with its L/C Risk Participation in each Letter of Credit, a Letter of Credit fee for each such Letter of Credit for the period from the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit until the expiry thereof, at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin for SOFR Loans (plus two percent (2.00%) during such time that the Default Rate is in effect with respect to the Obligations pursuant to Section 2.07(c)) applicable from time to time during such period multiplied by the actual daily maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit; provided, however, that any fees payable for the account of a Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit as to which such Defaulting Lender has not provided Cash Collateral satisfactory to the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.16(c) shall be (x) payable, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Governmental Rules, to the other Lenders in accordance with the upward adjustments of their respective participations in such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.16(a)(iv) and (y) with the balance of such fee, if any, payable to the L/C Issuer for its own account. Such fee for each Letter of Credit shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears 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 and

on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date. Each such fee, when due, shall be fully earned and when paid, shall be non-refundable.
(j)Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuer. The Borrowers shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account the customary issuance, transfer, negotiation, fronting (which fronting fee shall not exceed 0.125% per annum on the face amount of each Letter of Credit), presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such fees and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.
(k)Conflict with Letter of Credit Application. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Letter of Credit Application, the terms hereof shall control.
2.03. Swing Line.
(a)The Swing Line. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender shall make loans (each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan”) in Dollars to the Borrowers from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Sixth Restatement Effective Date up to but not including the Maturity Date in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Effective Amount of Revolving Loans of the Swing Line Lender in its capacity as a Lender of Revolving Loans, may exceed the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (i) the aggregate Effective Amount of all Revolving Loans, Swing Line Loans and L/C Obligations shall not exceed the Total Revolving Loan Commitment at such time, and (ii) the aggregate Effective Amount of the Revolving Loans of any Lender (other than the Swing Line Lender), plus such Lender’s Total Lender Risk Participation shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment, and provided, further, that (x) the Swing Line Lender shall not make any Swing Line Loan to refinance an outstanding Swing Line Loan and (y) the Borrowers shall be entitled to no more than five (5) Swing Line Loans in any month. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrowers may borrow under this Section 2.03, prepay under Section 2.06, and reborrow under this Section 2.03. Each Swing Line Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Swing Line Risk Participation with respect to such Swing Line Loan. If there at any time exists a Defaulting Lender, unless such Lender’s Fronting Exposure has been reallocated to other Lenders in accordance with Section 2.16(a), before making any Swing Line Loans, the Swing Line Lender may condition the provision of such Swing Line Loans on its entering into arrangements satisfactory to the Swing Line Lender with the Borrowers or such Defaulting Lender to eliminate the Swing Line Lender’s Fronting Exposure.

(b)Borrowing Procedures. Each Swing Loan Borrowing shall be requested pursuant to the Borrowers’ irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which amount shall be a minimum amount of $50,000 or an integral multiple of $10,000 in excess thereof and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed immediately by the delivery to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a written Notice of Swing Loan Borrowing, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrowers, which notice may be delivered by facsimile or e-mail. Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of any telephonic Notice of Swing Loan Borrowing, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such Notice of Swing Loan Borrowing and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Lender) prior to 1:00 p.m., on the date of the proposed Swing Loan Borrowing (A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the first proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.03(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 3.02 is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later than 2:00 p.m., on the borrowing date specified in such Notice of Swing Loan Borrowing, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the Borrowers by crediting the account of the Borrowers on the books of the Swing Line Lender in immediately available funds.
(c)Refinancing of Swing Line Loans.
(i)The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the Borrowers (which hereby irrevocably requests the Swing Line Lender to act on its behalf), under this subsection (c), that each Lender make a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share of the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding. Such request shall be made in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.01, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment and the conditions set forth in Section 3.02. The Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Borrowers with a copy of the applicable Notice of Loan Borrowing for Revolving Loans promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Lender shall make an amount equal to its Revolving Proportionate Share of the amount specified in such Notice of Loan Borrowing for Revolving Loans available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 12:00 noon, on the day specified in such Notice of Loan Borrowing for Revolving Loans, whereupon, subject to Section 2.03(c)(ii), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the

-59-

​

​

​

Borrowers in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Lender.
(ii)If for any reason any Revolving Loan Borrowing cannot be requested in accordance with Section 2.03(c)(i) or any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Revolving Loan Borrowing, the Notice of Loan Borrowing for Revolving Loans submitted by the Swing Line Lender shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing Line Lender that each of the Lenders fund its participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.
(iii)If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender 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)(i), the Swing Line Lender 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 the Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the daily Federal Funds Rate. A certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(iv)Each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans or to purchase and fund participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Borrowers or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or Event of Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. Any such purchase of participations shall not relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrowers to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.
(d)Repayment of Participations.
(i)At any time after any Lender has purchased and funded a Swing Line Risk Participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Lender an amount equal to such Lender’s Swing Line Risk Participation with respect thereto (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s Swing Line Risk Participation was outstanding and funded) in the same funds as those received by the Swing Line Lender.

​

(ii)If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Line Lender, each Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender its Swing Line Risk Participation thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the daily Federal Funds Rate. The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender.
(e)Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. Subject to Section 2.07(c), each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans. The Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the Borrowers for interest on the Swing Line Loans. Until each Lender funds its Base Rate Loan or Swing Line Risk Participation pursuant to this Section 2.03 to refinance such Lender’s Swing Line Risk Participation of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Swing Line Risk Participation shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender. The Borrowers shall pay accrued interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Swing Line Loan on the last Business Day of each fiscal quarter and at maturity.
(f)Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender. The Borrowers shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender.
2.04. Amount Limitations, Commitment Reductions, Etc.
(a)Optional Reduction or Cancellation of Revolving Loan Commitments. From and after the Sixth Restatement Effective Date, the Borrowers may, upon three (3) Business Days written notice to the Administrative Agent (each a “Reduction Notice”), permanently reduce the Total Revolving Loan Commitment by the amount of $500,000 or an integral multiple of $50,000 in excess thereof or cancel the Total Revolving Loan Commitment in its entirety; provided, however, that:
(i)The Borrowers may not reduce the Total Revolving Loan Commitment prior to the Maturity Date, if, after giving effect to such reduction, the Effective Amount of all Revolving Loans, L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans then outstanding would exceed the Total Revolving Loan Commitment as so reduced; and
(ii)The Borrowers may not cancel the Total Revolving Loan Commitment prior to the Maturity Date, if, after giving effect to such cancellation, any Revolving Loan would then remain outstanding.

Any Reduction Notice shall be irrevocable; provided that any Reduction Notice may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrowers (by written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date previously provided in the applicable Reduction Notice) if such condition is not satisfied.

(c)Effect of Revolving Loan Commitment Adjustments. From the effective date of any reduction or increase of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment, the Commitment Fees payable pursuant to Section 2.05(b) shall be computed on the basis of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment as so reduced or increased. Once reduced or cancelled, the Total Revolving Loan Commitment may not be increased or reinstated without the prior written consent of all Lenders (except as permitted under Section 2.01(b)). Any reduction of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment pursuant to Section 2.04(a) shall be applied ratably to reduce each Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment in accordance with clause (i) of Section 2.10(a).
2.05. Fees.
(a)Fees. The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, agent’s fees and other compensation in the amounts and at the times set forth in the Fee Letter and any fees set forth in any fee letter or agreement executed in connection with any increase under Section 2.01(b).

The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lender with respect to the period during which it is a Defaulting Lender) as provided in clause (iv) of Section 2.10(a), a commitment fee (collectively, the “Commitment Fee”) equal to the Commitment Fee Percentage multiplied by the daily average Unused Revolving Commitment for the period beginning on the Sixth Restatement Effective Date and ending on the Maturity Date. The Borrowers shall pay the Commitment Fee in arrears on the last Business Day in each fiscal quarter (commencing with the first full fiscal quarter ending after the Sixth Restatement Effective Date) and on the Maturity Date (or if the Total Revolving Loan Commitment is cancelled on a date prior to the Maturity Date, on such prior date).

2.06. Prepayments.
(a)Terms of All Prepayments. Upon the prepayment of any Loan (whether such prepayment is an optional prepayment under Section 2.06(b), a mandatory prepayment required by Section 2.06(c) or a mandatory prepayment required by any other provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, including a prepayment upon acceleration), the Borrowers shall pay (i) if a SOFR Loan is being prepaid under Section 2.06(b) or Section 2.06(c), to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lender that made such SOFR Loan all accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid, (ii) if a prepayment is made upon acceleration, to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lender that made such Loan all accrued interest and fees to the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid and (iii) to such Lender if such prepayment is the prepayment of a SOFR Loan on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period for such SOFR Loan, all amounts payable to such Lender pursuant to Section 2.13.
(b)Optional Prepayments.
(i)At its option, the Borrowers may, without premium or penalty but subject to Section 2.13 in the case of SOFR Loans, upon one (1) Business Day’s notice from the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent in the case of Base Rate Loans or three (3) U.S. Government Securities Business Days’ notice from the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent in the case of SOFR Loans, prepay the Loans in any Borrowing and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon in part, in a minimum principal amount of $50,000 or an integral multiple of $10,000 in excess thereof, or in whole. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment; provided that if such prepayment is on any day other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such SOFR Loan, the Borrowers shall be subject to the payments required by Section 2.13. If such notice is given by the Borrowers, the Borrowers 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 state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrowers (by written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified prepayment date) if such condition is not satisfied. If no Default has occurred and is continuing, all prepayments under this Section 2.06(b) which are applied to reduce the principal amount of the Loans shall be applied to the Loans as directed by the Borrowers. If the Borrowers fail to direct the application of any such prepayments, then such prepayments shall be applied first to the accrued but unpaid interest on and then any principal of the Swing Line Loans until paid in full, second to the accrued but unpaid interest on and then any principal of the Revolving Loans until paid in full and finally to Cash Collateralize the Obligations in an amount equal to the Effective Amount of the L/C Obligations. In each case, to the extent possible, such principal payment shall be first applied to prepay Base Rate Loans and then if any funds remain, to prepay SOFR Loans; provided that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time any such prepayment is made, the Lenders shall apply such prepayments to such Obligations as the

Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrowers, the Borrowers shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.
(c)Mandatory Prepayments. The Borrowers shall prepay (or Cash Collateralize, as applicable) the Obligations as follows:

(ii)The Borrowers shall repay each Swing Line Loan on the earlier to occur of (A) the second Swing Line Settlement Date occurring after such Swing Line Loan is made and (B) the Maturity Date.
(iii)If, at any time after the Sixth Restatement Effective Date, any Loan Party sells or otherwise disposes of any assets (other than sales permitted under Section 5.02(c) (excluding clause (iii) thereof)) and the Net Proceeds of such sale or other disposition, when added to the Net Proceeds of all such sales or dispositions by the Loan Parties during the term of this Agreement, in the aggregate, exceed $2,500,000, the Borrowers shall, not later than five (5) Business Days after the completion of each such sale or other disposition which results in such excess or an increase in such excess, prepay (or Cash Collateralize, as applicable) the outstanding Loans and other Obligations in the manner set forth in Section 2.06(d), in each case, in an aggregate principal amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Net Proceeds of such excess or increase in such excess. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers shall not be required to make a prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.06(c)(iii) with respect to any sale or other disposition (a “Relevant Sale”) if the Borrowers advise the Administrative Agent in writing within four (4) Business Days after the time the Net Proceeds from such Relevant Sale are

(vi)Not later than five (5) Business Days after the date (the “Receipt Date”) of receipt by a Loan Party (or the Administrative Agent) of any Net Insurance Proceeds or Net Condemnation Proceeds which exceed $2,000,000 in connection with a particular circumstance or event, the Borrowers shall prepay (or Cash Collateralize, as applicable) the outstanding Loans and other Obligations in the manner set forth in Section 2.06(d) in an amount equal to such Net Insurance Proceeds or Net Condemnation Proceeds. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers shall not be required to make a prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.06(c)(vi) with respect to any particular Net Insurance Proceeds or Net Condemnation Proceeds if (A) the Borrowers advise the Administrative Agent in writing within four (4) Business Days after the related Receipt Date that it or another Loan Party intends to repair, restore or replace the assets from which such Net Insurance Proceeds or Net Condemnation Proceeds were derived to the extent such repair, restoration or replacement is completed within 180 days after the related Receipt Date and (B) the Net Insurance Proceeds or Net Condemnation Proceeds are sufficient to defray the entire cost of such repair, restoration or replacement or if not, the Borrowers have deposited with the Administrative Agent good funds equal to the difference between the cost of such repair, restoration or replacement and the amount of Net Insurance Proceeds or Net Condemnation Proceeds deposited with the Administrative Agent, and such funds and proceeds will be held by the Administrative Agent and disbursed under procedures established by the Administrative Agent in good faith. If, at any time after the occurrence of a Receipt Date and prior to the completion of the corresponding repair, restoration or replacement, the applicable 180-day period provided in the preceding sentence shall elapse without the completion of the related repair, restoration or replacement, or the Borrowers shall fail to provide and deposit the funds and proceeds required under clause (B) above, or an Event of Default shall

occur, then the Borrowers shall immediately prepay (or Cash Collateralize, as applicable) the outstanding Loans and other Obligations in the amount and in the manner described in the first sentence of this Section 2.06(c)(vi). If the Borrowers have provided the written notice contemplated by the prior sentence, then until such Net Insurance Proceeds or Net Condemnation Proceeds are needed to pay for the related repair, restoration or replacement such proceeds shall be held by the Administrative Agent as Collateral in an interest bearing account with the Administrative Agent as directed by the Borrowers. No right to apply proceeds to repair, restoration or replacement shall exist if any such repair, restoration or replacement cannot reasonably be completed prior to 180 days before the Maturity Date.
(vii)The Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, at the time of each prepayment (or Cash Collateralization, as applicable) required under this Section 2.06(c), (A) a certificate signed by the chief financial officer, vice president of finance or treasurer of the Borrowers setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount of such prepayment and (B) to the extent practicable, at least three days prior written notice of such prepayment (or Cash Collateralization, as applicable). Each notice of prepayment (or Cash Collateralization, as applicable) shall specify the prepayment (or Cash Collateralization, as applicable) date and the Type and principal amount of each Loan to be prepaid. In the event that the Borrowers shall subsequently determine that the actual amount was greater than the amount set forth in such certificate, the Borrowers shall promptly make an additional prepayment of the Loans (and/or, if applicable, the Revolving Loan Commitments shall be permanently reduced) in an amount equal to the amount of such excess, and the Borrowers shall concurrently therewith deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate signed by the chief financial officer, vice president of finance or treasurer of the Borrowers demonstrating the derivation of the additional amount resulting in such excess.
(d)Application of Loan Prepayments. All prepayments required under Sections 2.06(c)(iii)-(vi) shall be applied: (A) first, to prepay the Swing Line Loans to the extent Swing Line Loans are then outstanding, (B) then to prepay the Revolving Loans to the extent Revolving Loans are then outstanding and (C) then to Cash Collateralize the Obligations in an amount equal to the then Effective Amount of the L/C Obligations. Without modifying the order of application of prepayments set forth in the preceding sentence, all such prepayments shall, to the extent possible, be first applied to prepay Base Rate Loans and then if any funds remain, to prepay SOFR Loans.
2.07. Other Payment Terms.
(a)Place and Manner. All payments to be made by the Borrowers under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. The Borrowers shall make all payments due to each Lender or the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by payments to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s office located at the address specified in Section 8.01, with each payment due to a Lender to be

-66-

​

​

​

for the account of such Lender and such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office. The Borrowers shall make all payments under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in Dollars in same day or immediately available funds not later than 12:00 noon on the date due. The Administrative Agent shall promptly disburse to each Lender each payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender.
(b)Date. Whenever any payment due hereunder shall fall due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of interest or fees, as the case may be.
(c)Default Rate. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default other than an Event of Default described in Section 6.01(a), (f) or (g), at the option of the Required Lenders, from and after the date of such Event of Default (or such later date designated by the Required Lenders) until the time when such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived in writing by the Required Lenders or all the Lenders (as may be required by this Agreement), the Borrowers shall pay interest on the aggregate, outstanding amount of all Obligations hereunder at a per annum rate equal to the otherwise applicable interest rate plus two percent (2.00%) or, if no such per annum rate is applicable to any such Obligations, at a per annum rate equal to the Base Rate, plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans, plus two percent (2.00%) (the “Default Rate”) payable on demand. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default described in Section 6.01(a), (f) or (g) until the time when such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived in writing by the Required Lenders or all the Lenders (as may be required by this Agreement), the Borrowers shall pay interest on the aggregate, outstanding amount of all Obligations hereunder at a per annum rate equal to the Default Rate (such Default Rate becoming effective on such date of occurrence of such Event of Default without notice and shall be immediately due and payable without notice or demand). Overdue interest shall itself bear interest at the Default Rate, and shall be compounded with the principal Obligations daily, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Governmental Rules.
(d)Application of Payments. All payments hereunder shall be applied first to unpaid fees, costs and expenses then due and payable under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, second to accrued interest then due and payable under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents and finally to reduce the principal amount of outstanding Loans and L/C Borrowings. The proceeds of the Collateral will be applied as set forth in Section 6.02.
(e)Failure to Pay the Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrowers at least one (1) Business Day prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to assume that the Borrowers have made or will make such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be paid to the Lenders on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lenders. If and to the extent the Borrowers shall not have so made such payment in full to

-67-

​

​

​

the Administrative Agent, each such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at a per annum rate equal to the daily Federal Funds Rate. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amount owing by such Lender under this Section 2.07(e) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
2.08. Loan Accounts; Notes.
(a)Loan Accounts. The obligation of the Borrowers to repay the Loans made to it by each Lender and to pay interest thereon at the rates provided herein shall be evidenced by an account or accounts maintained by such Lender on its books (individually, a “Loan Account”), except that any Lender may request that its Loans be evidenced by a note or notes pursuant to Section 2.08(b) and Section 2.08(c). Each Lender shall record in its Loan Accounts (i) the date and amount of each Loan made by such Lender, (ii) the interest rates applicable to each such Loan and the effective dates of all changes thereto, (iii) the Interest Period for each SOFR Loan, (iv) the date and amount of each principal and interest payment on each Loan and (v) such other information as such Lender may determine is necessary for the computation of principal and interest payable to it by the Borrowers hereunder; provided, however, that any failure by a Lender to make, or any error by any Lender in making, any such notation shall not affect the Borrowers’ Obligations. The Loan Accounts shall be conclusive absent manifest error as to the matters noted therein. In addition to the Loan Accounts, 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 and Swing Line Loans. 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.
(b)Revolving Loan Notes. If requested by a Lender, such Lender’s Revolving Loans shall be evidenced by a promissory note in the form of Exhibit E (individually, a “Revolving Loan Note”) which note shall be (i) payable to the order of such Lender, (ii) in the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment, (iii) dated the Sixth Restatement Effective Date or other date acceptable to such Lender and (iv) otherwise appropriately completed. The Borrowers authorize each Lender to record on the schedule annexed to such Lender’s Revolving Loan Note the date and amount of each Revolving Loan made by such Lender and of each payment or prepayment of principal thereon made by the Borrowers, and agrees that all such notations shall be conclusive absent manifest error with respect to the matters noted; provided, however, that any failure by a Lender to make, or any error by any Lender in making, any such notation shall not affect the Borrowers’ Obligations. The Borrowers further authorize each Lender to attach to and make a part of such Lender’s Revolving Loan Note continuations of the schedule attached thereto as necessary. If, because any Lender designates separate Applicable Lending Offices for Base Rate Loans and SOFR Loans, such Lender requests that separate promissory notes be executed to evidence separately such Revolving Loans, then each such note shall be in the form of Exhibit E, mutatis mutandis to reflect such division, and shall

-68-

4140-1311-9828

​

​

​

be (w) payable to the order of such Lender, (x) in the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment, (y) dated the Sixth Restatement Effective Date or other date acceptable to such Lender and (z) otherwise appropriately completed. Such notes shall, collectively, constitute a Revolving Loan Note.
(c)Swing Loan Notes. The Swing Line Lender’s Swing Line Loans shall be evidenced by a promissory note in the form of Exhibit F (individually, a “Swing Loan Note”) which note shall be (i) payable to the order of the Swing Line Lender, (ii) in the amount of the Swing Line Lender’s Swing Line Loans, (iii) dated the Sixth Restatement Effective Date or other date acceptable to the Swing Line Lender and (iv) otherwise appropriately completed.
2.09. Loan Funding.
(a)Lender Funding and Disbursement to the Borrowers. Each Lender shall, before 11:00 a.m. on the date of each Borrowing, make available to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s office specified in Section 8.01, in same day or immediately available funds, such Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share of such Borrowing. After the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 3.02 (if such Borrowing is the Loans made or Letter of Credit issued on the Sixth Restatement Effective Date, Section 3.01), the Administrative Agent shall promptly make all funds so received available to the Borrowers in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the joint account of the Borrowers maintained by the Borrowers on the books of Wells Fargo with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to the Administrative Agent by the Borrowers; provided, however, that if, on the date of the Borrowing there are Swing Line Loans and/or L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds of such Borrowing shall be applied, first, to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings, second, to the payment in full of any such Swing Line Loans, and third, to the Borrowers as provided above.
(b)Lender Failure to Fund. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to assume that such Lender has made or will make such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.09(a), and the Administrative Agent may on such date, in reliance upon such assumption, disburse or otherwise credit to the Borrowers a corresponding amount. If any Lender does not make the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share of any Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date of such Borrowing, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, interest which shall accrue on such amount from the date of such Borrowing until such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent at per annum rates equal to the daily Federal Funds Rate. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amount owing by such Lender under this Section 2.09(b) shall be conclusive absent manifest error with respect to such amount. If the amount of any Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share of any Borrowing is not paid to the Administrative

​

​

​

Agent by such Lender within three (3) Business Days after the date of such Borrowing, the Borrowers shall repay such amount to the Administrative Agent, on demand, together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount was disbursed to the Borrowers until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing.
(c)Lenders’ Obligations Several. The failure of any Lender to make the Loan to be made by it as part of any Borrowing or to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans to be funded by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make its Loan as part of such Borrowing or fund its participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans, but, except as a result of a reallocation of a Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share of the Effective Amount of L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.16(a)(iv), no Lender shall be obligated in any way to make any Loan or fund any participation in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans which another Lender has failed or refused to make or otherwise be in any way responsible for the failure or refusal of any other Lender to make any Loan required to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing or to fund any participation required to be funded by such other Lender.
2.10. Pro Rata Treatment.
(a)Borrowings, Commitment Reductions, Etc. Except as otherwise provided herein (including the application of funds provided for under Section 2.16(a)(ii) arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender and the termination of the unused Revolving Loan Commitment of a Defaulting Lender provided for under Section 2.16(a)(vi)):
(i)Each Revolving Borrowing and reduction of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment shall be made or shared among the Lenders pro rata according to their respective Revolving Proportionate Shares;
(ii)Each payment of principal on Loans in any Borrowing or on any L/C Advances in any L/C Borrowing shall be shared among the Lenders which hold the Loans in such Borrowing or the L/C Advances in such L/C Borrowing pro rata according to the respective unpaid principal amounts of such Loans or L/C Advances then owed to such Lenders; provided, however, during any time there is a Defaulting Lender, each payment of principal on Loans or L/C Advances shall be shared by only the Non-Defaulting Lenders that made such Loans or L/C Advances pro rata according to the respective unpaid principal amounts of such Loans or L/C Advances then owed to such Non-Defaulting Lenders until the unpaid principal amounts of all Loans or L/C Advances, as applicable, are held by all Lenders according to their respective Revolving Proportionate Shares;
(iii)Each payment of interest on Loans in any Borrowing shall be shared among the Lenders which made or funded the Loans in such Borrowing pro rata according to (A) the respective unpaid principal amounts of such Loans so made or funded by such Lenders and (B) the dates on which such Lenders so made or funded such Loans;

-70-

4140-1311-9828

​

​

​

(iv)Each payment of Commitment Fees payable under Section 2.05(b) and Letter of Credit fees payable under Section 2.02(i) shall be shared among the Lenders with Revolving Loan Commitments (except for Defaulting Lenders) pro rata according to (A) their respective Revolving Proportionate Shares and (B) in the case of each Lender which becomes a Lender hereunder after the date hereof, the date upon which such Lender so became a Lender;
(v)Each payment of interest (other than interest on Loans or interest in respect of Lender Rate Contracts or Lender Bank Products) shall be shared among the Lenders and the Administrative Agent owed the amount upon which such interest accrues pro rata according to (A) the respective amounts so owed such Lenders and the Administrative Agent and (B) the dates on which such amounts became owing to such Lenders and the Administrative Agent;
(vi)Letter of Credit fees payable under Section 2.02(i) shall be shared among the Lenders with Revolving Loan Commitments (other than Defaulting Lenders who have not provided Cash Collateral satisfactory to the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.16(c)) and the L/C Issuer pro rata according to their respective L/C Risk Participations and Fronting Exposure with respect to the applicable Letters of Credit;
(vii)Each payment of any fees due in connection with any amendment hereto or any waiver of or forbearance from any Event of Default existing hereunder shall be shared among those Lenders consenting to such amendment, waiver or forbearance or as otherwise agreed to by such Lenders; and
(viii)All other payments under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, fees paid in connection with any amendment, consent, waiver or the like) shall be for the benefit of the Person or Persons specified and entitled to payment.
(b)Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) on account of the Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations or in Swing Line Loans held by it, in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of the Loans and the L/C Obligations obtained by all Lenders entitled to such payments, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans and/or participations in L/C Obligations or in Swing Line Loans as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such other Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such other Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Borrowers agree that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this

-71-

4140-1311-9828

​

​

​

Section 2.10(b) may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrowers in the amount of such participation.

For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 2.10(b) shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including (1) the sharing of principal payments among Non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant to the proviso to Section 2.10(a)(ii) and (2) the application of funds provided for under Section 2.16(a)(ii) arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender) or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in L/C Obligations or in Swing Line Loans to any assignee or participant.

2.11. Change of Circumstances.
(a)Circumstances Affecting Benchmark Availability. Subject to clause (c) below, in connection with any request for a SOFR Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof or otherwise, if for any reason (i) the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that reasonable and adequate means do not exist for ascertaining Adjusted Term SOFR for the applicable Interest Period with respect to a proposed SOFR Loan on or prior to the first day of such Interest Period or (ii) the Required Lenders shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that Adjusted Term SOFR does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining such Loans during such Interest Period and, in the case of clause (ii), the Required Lenders have provided notice of such determination to the Administrative Agent, then, in each case, the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrowers. Upon notice thereof by the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers, any obligation of the Lenders to make SOFR Loans, and any right of the Borrowers to convert any Loan to or continue any Loan as a SOFR Loan, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans or the affected Interest Periods) until the Administrative Agent (with respect to clause (ii), at the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (A) the Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans or the affected Interest Periods) or, failing that, the Borrowers will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein and (B) any outstanding affected SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted into Base Rate Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.13.
(b)Laws Affecting SOFR Availability. If, after the date hereof, the introduction of, or any change in, any applicable law or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or

-72-

4140-1311-9828

​

​

​

comparable agency, shall make it unlawful or impossible for any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) to honor its obligations hereunder to make or maintain any SOFR Loan, or to determine or charge interest based upon SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR or Term SOFR, such Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice to the Borrowers and the other Lenders (an “Illegality Notice”). Thereafter, until each affected Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist, (i) any obligation of the Lenders to make SOFR Loans, and any right of the Borrowers to convert any Loan to a SOFR Loan or continue any Loan as a SOFR Loan, shall be suspended and (ii) if necessary to avoid such illegality, the Administrative Agent shall compute the Base Rate without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate”. Upon receipt of an Illegality Notice, the Borrowers shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, upon demand from any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all SOFR Loans to Base Rate Loans (in each case, if necessary to avoid such illegality, the Administrative Agent shall compute the Base Rate without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate”), on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if all affected Lenders may lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Loans to such day, or immediately, if any Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Loans to such day. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.13.
(c)Benchmark Replacement Setting.
(i)Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers may amend this Agreement to replace the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all affected Lenders and the Borrowers so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. No replacement of a Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 2.11(c)(i) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.
(ii)Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

-73-

4140-1311-9828

​

​

​

(iii)Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of (A) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (B) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers of the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 2.11(c)(iv). Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.11(c), including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required herein.
(iv)Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (A) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate) and either (1) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (2) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (B) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (A) above either (1) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (2) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.
(v)Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrowers’ receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, (A) the Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrowers will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans and (B) any outstanding affected SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted to Base Rate Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the

-74-

​

​

​

Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate.
(d)Illegality. If any Change of Law shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Lender to make or maintain any SOFR Loan, such Lender shall immediately notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers in writing of such Change of Law. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrowers’ right to request the making of, conversion to or a new Interest Period for SOFR Loans with respect to such Lender shall be terminated, and (ii) the Borrowers shall, at the request of such Lender, either (A) pursuant to Section 2.01(e), as the case may be, convert any such then outstanding SOFR Loans of such Lender into Base Rate Loans at the end of the current Interest Period for such SOFR Loans or (B) immediately repay or convert any such SOFR Loans of such Lender if such Lender shall notify the Borrowers that such Lender may not lawfully continue to fund and maintain such SOFR Loans. Any conversion or prepayment of SOFR Loans made pursuant to the preceding sentence prior to the last day of an Interest Period for such SOFR Loans shall not be deemed a prepayment thereof for purposes of Section 2.13. After any Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers of such a Change of Law and until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers that it is no longer unlawful or impossible for such Lender to make or maintain a SOFR Loan, all Revolving Loans of such Lender shall be Base Rate Loans.
(e)Increased Costs. If any Change of 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; or
(ii)subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income 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 any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to the Administrative Agent or any such Lender of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to the Administrative Agent or such Lender of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Administrative Agent or such Lender (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, the Borrowers will, within five (5) Business Days after written demand therefor, pay to the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, for such additional

-75-

​

costs incurred or reduction suffered. The obligations of the Borrowers under this Section 2.11(e) shall survive the payment and performance of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(f)Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change of Law affecting such Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’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 or Swing Line Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by any L/C Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change of Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the Borrowers will, within five (5) Business Days after written demand therefor, pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. The obligations of the Borrowers under this Section 2.11(e) shall survive the payment and performance of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
(g)Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of the Administrative Agent or a Lender, as applicable, setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate the Administrative Agent or such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Section 2.11(d) or Section 2.11(e) and delivered to the Borrowers, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.
(h)Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to Section 2.11(d) or Section 2.11(e) shall not constitute a waiver of the Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate the Administrative Agent or a Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(d) or Section 2.11(e) for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 270 days prior to the date that the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Borrowers of the Change of Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of the Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change of Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

(b)Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an 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) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(c)Payment of Other Taxes by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
(d)Indemnification by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, 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 2.12) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrowers by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(e)Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.12, 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.
(f)Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 8.05 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such

Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (f).
(g)Status of Lenders.
(i)Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.12(g)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
(ii)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
(A)any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;
(B)any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
(1)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

(3)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 J-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrowers within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or
(4)to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-2 or Exhibit J-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
(C)any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

​

(D)if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail 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 Borrowers and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers 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 Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered becomes inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(h)Survival. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement contained herein, the agreements and obligations contained in this Section 2.12 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other Obligations hereunder.
(i)Tax Returns. Nothing contained in this Section 2.12 shall require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available any of its tax returns or any other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary.
2.13. Funding Loss Indemnification. If the Borrowers, including as a result of an assignment required by Section 2.15(b), shall (a) repay, prepay or convert any SOFR Loan on any day other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period therefor (whether a scheduled payment, an optional prepayment or conversion, a mandatory prepayment or conversion, a payment upon acceleration or otherwise), (b) fail to borrow any SOFR Loan or for which a Notice of Loan Borrowing has been delivered to the Administrative Agent (whether as a result of the failure to satisfy any applicable conditions or otherwise), (c) fail to convert any Revolving Loans into SOFR Loans in accordance with a Notice of Conversion delivered to the Administrative Agent (whether as a result of the failure to satisfy any applicable conditions or otherwise) or (d) fail to continue a SOFR Loan for which a Notice of Interest Period Selection has been delivered to the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers shall pay to the appropriate Lender within five (5) Business Days after demand a prepayment fee, failure to borrow fee, failure to convert fee or failure to continue fee, as the case may be (determined as though 100% of the SOFR Loan had been funded in the applicable market as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent) equal to the sum of:
(a)the amount, if any, by which (i) the additional interest would have accrued on the amount prepaid or not borrowed at the Adjusted Term SOFR plus the Applicable

​

​

Margin for SOFR Loans if that amount had remained or been outstanding through the last day of the applicable Interest Period exceeds (ii) the interest that such Lender could recover by placing such amount on deposit in the applicable market as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent for a period beginning on the date of the prepayment or failure to borrow and ending on the last day of the applicable Interest Period (or, if no deposit rate quotation is available for such period, for the most comparable period for which a deposit rate quotation may be obtained); plus
(b)All reasonable and customary out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such Lender reasonably attributable to such payment, prepayment or failure to borrow.

Each Lender’s determination of the amount of any prepayment fee payable under this Section 2.13 shall be demonstrated pursuant to calculations in reasonable detail and shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The obligations of the Borrowers under this Section 2.13 shall survive the payment and performance of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

2.14. Security.
(a)Security Documents. The Loans, together with all other Obligations, shall be secured by the Liens granted by the Borrowers under the Security Documents. All obligations of a Guarantor under the Loan Documents shall be secured by the Liens granted by such Guarantor under the Security Documents. So long as the terms thereof are in compliance with this Agreement, each Lender Rate Contract and Lender Bank Product shall be secured by the Lien of the Security Documents with the priority set forth in Section 6.02.
(b)Further Assurances. The Borrowers shall deliver, and shall cause each Guarantor to deliver, to the Administrative Agent such security agreements, pledge agreements, control agreements, and other instruments, agreements, certificates, opinions and documents (including Uniform Commercial Code financing statements and fixture filings and landlord waivers) as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to:
(i)grant, perfect, maintain, protect and evidence security interests in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties, in any or all present and future property of the Borrowers and the Guarantors prior to the Liens or other interests of any Person, except for Permitted Liens; and
(ii)otherwise establish, maintain, protect and evidence the rights provided to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties, pursuant to the Security Documents.

​

​

(a)Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.11(d), or requires the Borrowers to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.12, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrowers) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.11(d) or Section 2.12, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
(b)Replacement of Lenders. If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.11(d) or Section 2.11(e), (ii) the Borrowers are required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.12 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 2.15(a), (iii) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, or (iv) any Loan Party shall receive a notice from any applicable Governmental Authority that a Lender is no longer qualified or suitable to make Loans to one or more Borrowers under the applicable Gaming Laws (and such Lender is notified by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent in writing of such disqualification), including because such Lender has been denied a License, qualification or finding of suitability or has failed to deliver information required under the applicable Gaming Laws, then the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 8.05), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.11(d), Section 2.11(e) or Section 2.12) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:
(i)the Borrowers shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 8.05;
(ii)such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in L/C Obligations, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 2.11) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts);
(iii)in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.11(d) or Section 2.11(e) or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.12, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

-82-

4140-1311-9828

​

​

​

(iv)such assignment does not conflict with applicable law; and
(v)in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.

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 Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

2.16. Defaulting Lenders.
(a)Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:
(i)Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, modification, supplement, extension, termination, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders and in the Defaulting Lender Amendment Paragraph.
(ii)Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 6.02 or otherwise), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.16(c); fourth, as the Borrowers may request (so long as no Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuer’s future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.16(c); sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrowers against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its

-83-

​

​

​

obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Borrowing in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Borrowings owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Borrowings owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Revolving Loan Commitments under the applicable this Agreement without giving effect to Section 2.16(a)(iv). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.16(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
(iii)Certain Fees.
(A)Any Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any commitment fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).
(B)Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive Letter of Credit fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Revolving Pro Rata Share of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.16(a)(v).
(C)With respect to any Letter of Credit Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (B) above, the Borrowers shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to the L/C Issuer the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to the L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.
(iv)Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Proportionate Shares (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the sum of (I) the Effective Amount of all Revolving Loans made by such Non-Defaulting Lender outstanding at such time and (II) such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Total Lender Risk Participation at such time to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving

-84-

4140-1311-9828

​

​

​

Loan Commitment. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.
(v)Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swing Line Loans. If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, (x) first, prepay Swing Line Loans in an amount equal to the Swing Line Lender’s Fronting Exposure and (y) second, Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.16(c).
(vi)Termination of Revolving Loan Commitment. The Borrowers may terminate the unused amount of the Revolving Loan Commitment of a Defaulting Lender upon not less than three (3) Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which will promptly notify the Lenders thereof), and in such event the provisions of clause (ii) above will apply to all amounts thereafter paid by the Borrowers for the account of such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity or other amounts); provided that (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (ii) such termination will not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.
(b)Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Revolving Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with their Revolving Proportionate Shares (without giving effect to Section 2.16(a)(iv)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
(c)Cash Collateral Provisions.
(i)At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within one Business Day following the written request of the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) the Borrowers shall Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after

​

giving effect to Section 2.16(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount.
(ii)The Borrowers, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grant to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuer, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of L/C Obligations, to be applied pursuant to clause (iii) below. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer as herein provided (other than Permitted Liens), or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, the Borrowers will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).
(iii)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 2.16 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of L/C Obligations (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.
(iv)Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce the L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.16(c) following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Lender status of the applicable Defaulting Lender), or (ii) the determination by the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that, subject to this Section 2.16 the Person providing Cash Collateral and the L/C Issuer may agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.
(d)New Swing Line Loans/Letters of Credit. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) the Swing Line Lender shall not be required to fund any Swing Line Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swing Line Loan and (ii) the L/C Issuer shall not be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.
Article III. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT.

-115-

4140-1311-9828

​

​

​

Commitments, any obligation of the L/C Issuer to make L/C Credit Extensions and the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans shall automatically terminate, (2) the obligation of the Borrowers to Cash Collateralize the Obligations in an amount equal to the Minimum Collateral Amount shall automatically become effective, which amounts shall be immediately pledged and delivered to the Administrative Agent as security for the Obligations and (3) all outstanding Obligations (other than any obligations in connection with Lender Rate Contracts or Lender Bank Products) payable by the Borrowers hereunder shall automatically become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything contained herein or in the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding. In addition to the foregoing remedies, upon the occurrence or existence of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may exercise any other right, power or remedy available to it under any of the Loan Documents or otherwise by law, either by suit in equity or by action at law, or both. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Loan Documents, all Cash Collateral pledged by the Borrowers as contemplated by Section 2.02 and Section 2.16(c)(iii), shall first be applied to reimburse the L/C Issuer in respect of any amounts that a Lender has failed to fund under Section 2.02(c), then to the remaining L/C Obligations and then to the remaining Obligations in the manner set forth below.

The proceeds of any sale, disposition or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral (subject to the prior sentence with respect to Cash Collateral) and any payment under the Guaranty shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent in the following order of priorities:

First, to the Administrative Agent in an amount sufficient to pay in full the costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent in connection with such sale, disposition or other realization (including all fees, costs, expenses, liabilities and advances incurred or made by the Administrative Agent in connection therewith, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and costs) and any and all other unpaid and unreimbursed liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, fees, expenses or disbursements of the Administrative Agent;

Second, pari passu and ratably, to the Lenders in an amount sufficient to pay fees, expenses and indemnities of the Lenders under the Loan Documents;

Third, to the Lenders and Lender Rate Contract Counterparties in an amount equal to accrued interest then due and payable on the Obligations (including any net scheduled payments in respect of Lender Rate Contracts but excluding any obligations in respect of Lender Bank Products and excluding the Termination Value of any Lender Rate Contracts);

Fourth, pari passu and ratably, to (i) the Lenders in an amount equal to the principal amount of the outstanding Loans and L/C Borrowings and to Cash Collateralize the remaining L/C Obligations on a pro rata basis in accordance with the then outstanding principal amount of the Loans and L/C Obligations (with the portion allocated to the Revolving Loans, Swing Line Loans and L/C Obligations to be applied first to repay the Swing Line

-116-

4140-1311-9828

​

​

​

Loans in full, second to repay the Revolving Loans in full and then to Cash Collateralize the Obligations in an amount equal to the then Effective Amount of all L/C Obligations) and (ii) to the Lender Rate Contract Counterparties in an amount equal to Obligations owed in connection with any Lender Rate Contract the terms of which comply with the Credit Agreement (which amount, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include the Termination Value);

Fifth, to the Lender Parties in an amount equal to any other Obligations which are then unpaid (including any amount owed to Lender Bank Product Providers for Obligations related to Lender Bank Products); and

Finally, upon payment in full of all of the Obligations, to the persons legally entitled thereto.

No application of payments will cure any Event of Default, or prevent acceleration, or continued acceleration, of amounts payable under the Loan Documents, or prevent the exercise, or continued exercise, of rights or remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder or thereunder or at law or in equity.

6.03. Right to Cure. Notwithstanding the foregoing Section 6.02 above, in the event that the Borrowers fail to comply with any of the financial covenants referenced in Section 5.03(a) above (the “Leverage Financial Performance Covenant”), until the date that is the earlier of (x) the date of acceleration of the Loans and (y) the fifth day subsequent to the date on which financial statements with respect to the fiscal period for which the Leverage Financial Performance Covenant is being measured are required to be delivered, the Borrowers shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure any such Event of Default (a “Cure Right”) by a cash contribution to the Parent for equity without recourse (such proceeds, the “Cure Proceeds”), and upon the receipt by the Borrowers of Cure Proceeds (such amount of Cure Proceeds being referred to as the “Cure Amount”), which Cure Amount shall be used solely to prepay the Loans, without penalty or premium, and shall be applied as set forth in Section 2.06(d). Pursuant to the exercise by the Borrowers of such Cure Right, the Leverage Financial Performance Covenant shall be recalculated as if such Loan prepayment was made on the last day of the applicable fiscal period for which such Cure Right was exercised. If, after giving effect to the foregoing recalculations, the Borrowers shall then be in compliance with the requirements of the Leverage Financial Performance Covenant, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of the Leverage Financial Performance Covenant as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable breach or default of the Leverage Financial Performance Covenant that had occurred shall be deemed cured for the purposes of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) there shall be no more than two Cure Rights in any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters, (ii) no Cure Amount may be greater than the amount required to cause the Borrowers to be in compliance with the Leverage Financial Performance Covenant, (iii) there shall be no more than four Cure Rights made on or before the Maturity Date and (iv) this Section 6.03 may not be relied on for purposes of calculating

compliance with any covenants other than compliance with the Leverage Financial Performance Covenant and shall not result in any adjustment to any baskets or other amounts.

Article VII. ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND RELATIONS AMONG LENDERS.
7.01. Appointment, Powers and Immunities.
(a)Each Lender (on its own behalf or on behalf of any Affiliate of such Lender that is party to a Lender Rate Contract or providing Lender Bank Products) hereby appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as its agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents with such powers as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Each Lender (on its own behalf and on behalf of any Affiliate of such Lender that is party to a Lender Rate Contract or providing Lender Bank Products) hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers as are set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent is acting as administrative agent for the Lenders only and the Administrative Agent is not acting as administrative agent for any other Lender Parties; the Lender Parties (other than the Lenders) that are receiving the benefit of the Collateral are receiving such benefit as an accommodation from the Administrative Agent in its capacity as collateral agent for such Lender Parties and the Administrative Agent shall have no liability whatsoever to such Lender Parties. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, be a trustee for any Lender (or any Affiliate of such Lender that is party to a Lender Rate Contract or providing Lender Bank Products) or have any fiduciary duty to any Lender (or any Affiliate of such Lender that is party to a Lender Rate Contract or providing Lender Bank Products). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any applicable Governmental Rules. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be responsible to any other Lender for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure by any Loan Party to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Administrative Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible to any Lender for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees, agents or advisors shall be responsible to any Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith, except to the extent determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen from its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Except as otherwise provided under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to the Loan Documents as shall be directed by the Required Lenders or in the absence of such direction,

-118-

4140-1311-9828

​

​

​

such action as the Administrative Agent in good faith deems advisable under the circumstances.
(b)Any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 7.01(a) for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Security Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder and hereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent, shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article VII, Section 8.02 and Section 8.03 as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.
(c)The L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith until such time (and except for so long) as the Administrative Agent may agree at the request of the Required Lenders to act for the L/C Issuer with respect thereto; provided, however, that the L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Administrative Agent in this Article VII with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and the application and agreements for letters of credit pertaining to the Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in this Article VII included the L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (ii) as additionally provided herein with respect to the L/C Issuer.
7.02. Reliance by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to rely upon any certificate, notice or other document (including any cable, telegram, facsimile or telex) believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons (including any certificate, notice or other document from a Loan Party that a sale, transfer, or other disposition of Collateral is permitted by Section 5.02(c)), and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent with reasonable care. As to any other matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action or exercise any discretion, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting upon instructions of the Required Lenders and shall in all cases be fully protected by the Lenders in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder or under any other Loan Document in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders (or all Lenders if required by Section 8.04), and such instructions of the Required Lenders (or all the Lenders as the case may be) and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders.
7.03. Defaults. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default unless the Administrative Agent has received a written notice from a Lender or the Borrowers, referring to this Agreement, describing such Default and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default”. If the Administrative Agent receives such a notice of the occurrence of a Default, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders; provided, however, that until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default as it shall deem

-119-

4140-1311-9828

​

​

​

advisable in the best interest of the Lenders. Notwithstanding anything in the contrary contained herein, the order and manner in which the Lenders’ rights and remedies are to be exercised (including, without limitation, the enforcement by any Lender of its Note) shall be determined by the Required Lenders in their sole discretion.

7.04. Indemnification. Without limiting the Obligations of the Borrowers hereunder, each Lender agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, ratably in accordance with its Revolving Proportionate Share of all Obligations and Revolving Loan Commitments, for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in refusing to take or in continuing to take any action hereunder unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The obligations of each Lender under this Section 7.04 shall survive the payment and performance of the Obligations, the termination of this Agreement and any Lender ceasing to be a party to this Agreement (with respect to events which occurred prior to the time such Lender ceased to be a Lender hereunder).
7.05. Non-Reliance. Each Lender represents that it has, independently and without reliance on the Administrative Agent, or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of the business, prospects, management, financial condition and affairs of the Loan Parties and its own decision to enter into this Agreement and agrees that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its affiliates nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents or advisors shall (a) be required to keep any Lender informed as to the performance or observance by any Loan Party of the obligations under this Agreement or any other document referred to or provided for herein or to make inquiry of, or to inspect the properties or books of any Loan Party; (b) have any duty or responsibility to disclose to or otherwise provide any Lender, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose or otherwise provide any Lender, with any credit or other information concerning any Loan Party which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity, except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder or any other Loan Document; or (c) be responsible to any Lender for (i) any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by any Loan Party or any officer, employee or agent of any Loan Party in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, (ii) the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any Loan Document, (iii) the value or sufficiency of the Collateral or the validity or perfection of any of the liens or security interests intended to be created by the Loan Documents,

-120-

​

​

​

or (iv) any failure by any Loan Party to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

7.06. Resignation of the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving thirty (30) days prior written notice thereof to the Borrowers and the Lenders. If the Person serving as the Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (b) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Borrowers and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which successor Administrative Agent, if not a Lender, shall be reasonably acceptable to the Borrowers; provided, however, that the Borrowers shall have no right to approve a successor Administrative Agent if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from the duties and obligations thereafter arising hereunder; provided that the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall be discharged from the duties and obligations arising hereunder from and after the end of such thirty (30) day period even if no successor has been appointed. If no such successor has been appointed, the Required Lenders shall act as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. After any retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as the Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article VII shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative Agent. The successor Administrative Agent (or if there is no successor, one of the Lenders appointed by the Required Lenders that accepts such appointment) shall also simultaneously replace the then existing Administrative Agent and the then existing Administrative Agent shall be fully released as “L/C Issuer” and “Swing Line Lender” hereunder pursuant to documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the then existing Administrative Agent.
7.07. Collateral Matters.
(a)The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized by each Lender (on its own behalf or on behalf of any Affiliate of such Lender that is party to a Lender Rate Contract or providing Lender Bank Products), without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender (on its own behalf or on behalf of any Affiliate of such Lender that is party to a Lender Rate Contract or providing Lender Bank Products), and without the obligation to take any such action, to take any action with respect to any Collateral or any Security Document which may from time to time be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the Liens of the Security Documents.
(b)Each of the Lenders (on its own behalf or on behalf of any Affiliate of such Lender that is party to a Lender Rate Contract or providing Lender Bank Products) irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release (and to execute and deliver such documents, instruments and agreements as the Administrative Agent may deem necessary to release) any Lien granted to or held by the Administrative Agent upon any Collateral (i) upon termination of the Revolving Loan

7.10. Collateral Matters/Lender Rate Contracts/Lender Bank Products. Each Lender on its own behalf on behalf of its Affiliates understands and agrees that (a) counterparties to Lender Rate Contracts and providers of Lender Bank Products will have the benefits of the Collateral as set forth in the Loan Documents and (b) if the Obligations (excluding Obligations in respect of Lender Rate Contracts and Lender Bank Products except to the extent the Administrative Agent has received prior written notice from the applicable Lender Party of any such Lender Rate Contract or the existence of such Obligations in respect of Lender Bank Products) are repaid as described in Section 7.07, the Collateral will be released as described in Section 7.07 and such Lender and its Affiliates will no longer have the benefits of the Collateral.

provisions of the Gaming Laws and only to the extent that required approvals are obtained from the requisite Gaming Boards.

(c)If during the existence of an Event of Default hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents it shall become necessary, or in the opinion of the Required Lenders advisable, for an agent, supervisor, receiver or other representative of the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties to become licensed under any Governmental Rule as a condition to receiving the benefit of any Collateral encumbered by the Security Documents or other Loan Documents or to otherwise enforce the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under the Loan Documents, the Borrowers hereby agree to assist the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties and any such agent, supervisor, receiver or other representative obtain licenses and to execute such further documents as may be required in connection therewith.
7.13. Erroneous Payments.
(a)Each Lender, L/C Issuer, Swing Line Lender and any other party hereto hereby severally agrees that if (i) the Administrative Agent notifies (which such notice shall be conclusive absent manifest error) such Lender, L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender or any other Person that has received funds from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates, either for its own account or on behalf of a Lender, L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender (each such recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Payment Recipient were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Payment Recipient) or (ii) any Payment Recipient receives any payment from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, as applicable, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, as applicable, or (z) that such Payment Recipient otherwise becomes aware was transmitted or received in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) then, in each case, an error in payment shall be presumed to have been made (any such amounts specified in clauses (i) or (ii) of this Section 7.13(a), whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise; individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”), then, in each case, such Payment Recipient is deemed to have knowledge of such error at the time of its receipt of such Erroneous Payment; provided that nothing in this Section shall require the Administrative Agent to provide any of the notices specified in clauses (i) or (ii) above. Each Payment

Recipient agrees that it shall not assert any right or claim to any Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payments, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.
(b)Without limiting the immediately preceding clause (a), each Payment Recipient agrees that, in the case of clause (a)(ii) above, it shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent in writing of such occurrence.
(c)In the case of either clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above, such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and upon demand from the Administrative Agent such Payment Recipient shall (or, shall cause any Person who received any portion of an Erroneous Payment on its behalf to), promptly, but in all events no later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds and in the currency so received, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.
(d)In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Administrative Agent in accordance with immediately preceding clause (c), from any Lender that is a Payment Recipient or an Affiliate of a Payment Recipient (such unrecovered amount as to such Lender, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), then at the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and upon the Administrative Agent’s written notice to such Lender (i) such Lender shall be deemed to have made a cashless assignment of the full face amount of the portion of its Loans (but not its Revolving Loan Commitments) with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) to the Administrative Agent or, at the option of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent’s applicable lending affiliate in an amount that is equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Revolving Loan Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) plus any accrued and unpaid interest on such assigned amount, without further consent or approval of any party hereto and without any payment by the Administrative Agent or its applicable lending affiliate as the assignee of such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (1) any assignment contemplated in this clause (d) shall be made without any requirement for any payment or other consideration paid by the applicable assignee or received by the assignor, (2) the provisions of this clause (d) shall govern in the event of any conflict with the terms and conditions of Section 8.05 and (3) the Administrative Agent may reflect such assignments in the Register without further consent or action by any other Person.

(e)Each party hereto hereby agrees that (x) in the event an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent (1) shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Payment Recipient with respect to such amount and (2) is authorized to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Payment Recipient under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Payment Recipient from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 7.13 or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement, (y) the receipt of an Erroneous Payment by a Payment Recipient shall not for the purpose of this Agreement be treated as a payment, prepayment, repayment, discharge or other satisfaction of any Obligations owed by the Borrowers or any other Loan Party, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrowers or any other Loan Party for the purpose of making a payment on the Obligations and (z) to the extent that an Erroneous Payment was in any way or at any time credited as payment or satisfaction of any of the Obligations, the Obligations or any part thereof that were so credited, and all rights of the Payment Recipient, as the case may be, shall be reinstated and continue in full force and effect as if such payment or satisfaction had never been received.
(f)Each party’s obligations under this Section 7.13 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of right or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.
(g)Nothing in this Section 7.13 will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of the Administrative Agent hereunder arising from any Payment Recipient’s receipt of an Erroneous Payment.

Administrative Agent or any Lender to be made by telephone, facsimile or e-mail, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may conclusively presume that anyone purporting to be a person designated in any incumbency certificate or other similar document received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender is such a person.

(b)The Borrowers agree that the Administrative Agent may make any material delivered by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent, as well as any amendments, waivers, consents, and other written information, documents, instruments and other materials relating to the Borrowers or any other Loan Party, or any other materials or matters relating to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby (collectively, the “Communications”) available to the Lenders by posting such notices on an electronic delivery system (which may be provided by the Administrative Agent, an Affiliate of the Administrative Agent, or any Person that is not an Affiliate of the Administrative Agent), such as IntraLinks, The Debt Exchange, Inc., SyndTrak Online or a substantially similar electronic system (the “Platform”). The Borrowers acknowledge that (i) the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution, (ii) the Platform is provided “as is” and “as available” and (iii) neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Affiliates warrants the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, sufficiency, or sequencing of the Communications posted on the Platform. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates expressly disclaim with respect to the Platform any liability for errors in transmission, incorrect or incomplete downloading, delays in posting or delivery, or problems accessing the Communications posted on the Platform and any liability for any losses, costs, expenses or liabilities that may be suffered or incurred in connection with the Platform except for liability determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to be due to the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Each Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) (a “Notice”) specifying that any Communication has been posted to the Platform shall for purposes of this Agreement constitute effective delivery to such Lender of such information, documents or other materials comprising such Communication. Each Lender agrees (i) to notify, on or before the date such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, the Administrative Agent in writing of such Lender’s e-mail address to which a Notice may be sent (and from time to time thereafter to ensure that the Administrative Agent has on record an effective e-mail address for such Lender) and (ii) that any Notice may be sent to such e-mail address.

agreement or undertaking by or on behalf of Golden Road, MGI or Black Hawk by the Borrower Representative shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made by Golden Road, MGI or Black Hawk, as the case may be, and shall be binding upon and enforceable against Golden Road, MGI or Black Hawk (as applicable) to the same extent as if made directly by Golden Road, MGI or Black Hawk (as applicable). Any notice or certificate required or permitted hereunder to be delivered by any or all of the Borrowers (or their Responsible Officers or Senior Officers) may be delivered by the Borrower Representative (or its Responsible Officers or Senior Officers) on behalf of any or all of the Borrowers, as the case may be. The Borrowers may replace the Borrower Representative with a different Borrower from time to time upon prior written notice to the Administrative Agent.
8.02. Expenses. The Borrowers shall pay promptly after demand, whether or not any Credit Event occurs hereunder, (a) all reasonable fees and expenses, including reasonable syndication expenses, travel expenses, attorneys’, consultants’ and experts’ fees and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the syndication of the facilities provided hereunder, due diligence, the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of, and the exercise of its duties under, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of amendments, waivers, consents, modifications and supplements related to the Loan Documents, (b) all reasonable fees and expenses of the Administrative Agent in connection with the use of any Platform and (c) subject to Section 8.19, all fees and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the enforcement of any of the Obligations or in preserving any of the Administrative Agent’s or the Lenders’ rights and remedies (including, without limitation, all such fees and expenses incurred in connection with any “workout” or restructuring affecting the Loan Documents or the Obligations or any bankruptcy or similar proceeding involving any Loan Party). The obligations of the Borrowers under this Section 8.02 shall survive the payment and performance of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
8.03. Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by law, and in addition to any other indemnity set forth in the Loan Documents, the Borrowers agree to (a) protect, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender, the Lenders and their Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys, agents, trustees and advisors (collectively, “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, judgments, costs, disbursements, claims or expenses of any kind or nature and from any suits, claims or demands (including in respect of or for reasonable attorneys’ fees and other expenses) arising on account of or in connection with any matter or thing or action or failure to act by Indemnitees, or any of them, arising out of or relating to (i) the Loan Documents or any transaction contemplated thereby or related thereto, including the making of any Loans, the funding of any Unreimbursed Amounts and any use by the Borrowers of any proceeds of the Loans or the Letters of Credit, (ii) any Environmental Damages, (iii) any claims for brokerage fees or commissions in connection with the Loan Documents or any transaction contemplated thereby or in connection with the Borrowers’ failure to conclude any other financing, and to reimburse each Indemnitee on demand for all reasonable legal and other expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any of the foregoing, (iv) the use of any Platform or (v) any and all excise, sales or other similar taxes which may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any of the Collateral or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by the Security Documents, including any penalties, claims or other losses resulting from any delay in paying such

-129-

​

​

​

excise, sales or other similar taxes and (b) reimburse each Indemnitee for all reasonable legal fees and other expenses in connection with such Indemnitee’s investigation or defense of any of the foregoing; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 8.03 shall obligate the Borrowers to protect, indemnify, defend or hold harmless any Indemnitee against any such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, judgments, costs, disbursements, claims or expenses to the extent determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or a breach of such Indemnitee’s obligations under this Agreement. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding to which the indemnity set forth in this Section 8.03 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by a Borrower, the holders of a Borrower’s Equity Securities, any creditor of a Borrower or an Indemnitee and whether or not an Indemnitee is otherwise a party thereto. Upon receiving knowledge of any suit, claim or demand asserted by a third party that the Administrative Agent or any Lender believes is covered by this indemnity, the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall give the Borrowers notice of the matter; provided that the failure of the Administrative Agent or such Lender to so notify the Borrowers shall not relieve the Borrowers from their obligations under this Section 8.03 or result in any liability of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders. In connection with any such suit, claim or demand, the Administrative Agent or such Lender may select its own counsel or request that the Borrowers defend such suit, claim or demand, with legal counsel satisfactory to the Administrative Agent or such Lender as the case may be, at the Borrowers’ sole cost and expense; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall not be required to so notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall have the right to defend, at the Borrowers’ sole cost and expense, any such matter that is in connection with a formal proceeding instituted by any Governmental Authority having authority to regulate or oversee any aspect of the Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s business or that of its Affiliates. The Administrative Agent or such Lender may also require the Borrowers to defend the matter. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, the Indemnitees will be entitled to employ counsel separate from counsel for the Borrowers and for any other party in such action if any such Indemnitee reasonably determines that a conflict of interest or other reasonable basis exists which makes representation by counsel chosen by the Borrowers not advisable, all at the Borrowers’ expense. In the event an Indemnitee (or any of its officers, directors or employees) appears as a witness in any action or proceeding brought against the Borrowers in which an Indemnitee is not named as a defendant, the Borrowers agree to reimburse such Indemnitee for all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it (including fees and expenses of counsel) in connection with its appearing as a witness. Any failure or delay of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to notify the Borrowers of any such suit, claim or demand shall not relieve the Borrowers of their obligations under this Section 8.03. No Indemnitee referred to above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee 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 other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Borrowers shall not, without the prior written consent of each Indemnitee affected thereby (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld), settle any threatened or pending claim or action that would give rise to the right of any Indemnitee to claim indemnification hereunder unless such

-130-

​

​

settlement (x) includes a full and unconditional release of all liabilities arising out of such claim or action against such Indemnitee and (y) does not include any statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnitee. The Borrowers agrees that no Indemnitee shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract or tort, or otherwise) to the Borrowers or their Affiliates or to their respective equity holders or creditors arising out of, related to or in connection with any aspect of the transactions contemplated hereby, except to the extent such liability is determined in a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnitee’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The obligations of the Borrowers under this Section 8.03 shall survive the payment and performance of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

8.04. Waivers; Amendments. Any term, covenant, agreement or condition of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be amended or waived, and any consent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be given, if such amendment, waiver or consent is in writing and is signed by the Borrowers and the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Required Lenders with the written approval of the Required Lenders); provided, however, that:
(a)Any amendment, waiver or consent which would (i) amend the definition of “Required Lenders”, or modify in any other manner the number or percentage of the Lenders required to make any determinations or to waive any rights under, or to modify any provision of, this Agreement (other than “Required Lenders”), (ii) extend the Maturity Date, (iii) reduce the principal of or interest on any Loan or L/C Borrowing or any fees or other amounts payable for the account of the Lenders hereunder (it being understood that a waiver of a mandatory prepayment under Section 2.06(c) shall only require the consent of the Required Lenders), (iv) extend any date fixed for any payment of the principal of or interest on any Loans or any fees or other amounts payable for the account of the Lenders or (v) amend this Section 8.04 or Section 2.10, must be in writing and signed or approved in writing by all of the Lenders directly affected thereby, in each case except with respect to the amendments to effectuate the terms of Section 2.01(b) as provided for below;
(b)Any amendment, waiver or consent which releases any Loan Party or all or substantially all of the Collateral must be in writing and signed or approved in writing by all Lenders, except that (i) any such release in connection with a sale or other disposition of Collateral authorized by Section 5.02(c) may be executed by the Administrative Agent and shall not require the approval of any Lenders, Lender Bank Product Providers or Lender Rate Contract Counterparties and (ii) any amendment, waiver or consent which modifies the terms of Section 5.02(c) (including any modification relating to the prepayment of proceeds from any such sale or other disposition) shall require the consent of the Required Lenders;
(c)Any amendment, waiver or consent which increases the Revolving Loan Commitments of any Lender must be in writing and signed by such Lender;
(d)Any amendment, waiver or consent which affects the rights or duties of the Swing Line Lender under this Agreement must be in writing and signed by the Swing Line Lender;

(e)Any amendment, waiver or consent which affects the rights or duties of the L/C Issuer under this Agreement or any Letter of Credit Application relating to any Letter of Credit issued or to be issued by it must be in writing and signed by the L/C Issuer;
(f)Any amendment, waiver or consent which affects the rights or obligations of the Administrative Agent must be in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent;
(g)[Reserved];
(h)Any amendment, waiver or consent which would amend the application of proceeds set forth in Section 6.02 must be in writing and signed or approved in writing by all Lenders and, to the extent not included therein, all Lender Parties that are Lender Rate Contract Counterparties that have provided the Administrative Agent with prior written notice of their status as such; and

No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof or of any other right hereunder or thereunder nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other further exercise thereof or of any other right hereunder or thereunder. Unless otherwise specified in such waiver or consent, a waiver or consent given hereunder shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. The Lenders may condition the giving or making of any amendment, waiver or consent of any term, covenant, agreement or condition of this Agreement or any other Loan Document on payment of a fee by the Borrowers (which may be payable only to the Lenders that consent to such matters within specified periods).

In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) the Fee Letter may only be amended, modified or changed, or rights or privileges thereunder waived, only by the parties thereto in accordance with the respective provisions thereof and (y) each Lender Rate Contract and agreement with respect to Lender Bank Products may only be amended, modified or changed, or rights or privileges thereunder waived, only by the parties thereto in accordance with the respective provisions thereof.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any Defaulting Lender shall not have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that (i) any Revolving Proportionate Share of such Defaulting Lender may not be increased, (ii) the applicable maturity date of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender, as applicable, may not be extended, and (iii) principal and interest owing to such Defaulting Lender may not be reduced, in each case without the consent of such Defaulting Lender. This paragraph is referred to as the “Defaulting Lender Amendment Paragraph.”

Any amendment, modification, supplement, termination, waiver or consent pursuant to this Section 8.04 shall apply equally to, and shall be binding upon, each of the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Borrowers or either of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 6.02 for the benefit of all the Lenders; provided,

​

however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) the L/C Issuer from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as L/C Issuer) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents or (c) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 8.06 (subject to the terms of Section 2.10); and provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 6.02 and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b) and (c) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 2.10, any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Administrative Agent (and, if applicable, the Borrowers) may, without the consent of any Lender, enter into amendments or modifications to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or enter into additional Loan Documents as the Administrative Agent reasonably deems appropriate in order to implement any Benchmark Replacement or any Conforming Changes or otherwise effectuate the terms of Section 2.11(c) in accordance with the terms of Section 2.11(c) and (ii) if the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall have jointly identified an obvious error, or any error or omission of a purely technical nature, in the Loan Documents, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall be permitted to amend such provision without further action or consent of any other party if the same is not objected to in writing by the Required Lenders to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days following receipt of notice thereof.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent on its behalf, and without further consent, to enter into amendments or modifications to this Agreement (including amendments to Section 2.10 and this Section 8.04) or any of the other Loan Documents or to enter into additional Loan Documents as the Administrative Agent reasonably deems appropriate in order to effectuate the terms of Section 2.01(b) (subject to the consents of any Lenders required in such Section); provided that no amendment or modification shall result in (i) any increase in the amount of any Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment or any increase in any Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share, (ii) any extension in the Maturity Date applicable to any Lender’s Loans or Revolving Loan Commitments or (iii) any extension of any date fixed for payment of principal, interest or fees on any Lender’s Loans or Revolving Loan Commitments, in each case, without the written consent of such affected Lender.

8.05. Successors and Assigns.
(a)Binding Effect. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrowers, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, all future holders of the Notes and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that no Loan Party may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under any Loan Document (except in connection with a merger or consolidation permitted by Section 5.02(d)) without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender. Any purported assignment or transfer by a Loan Party in violation of the foregoing shall be null and void.

​

(b)Participations. Any Lender may, without notice to or consent of the Borrowers, at any time sell to one or more Persons (“Participants”) participating interests in all or a portion of any Loan owing to such Lender, any Note held by such Lender, any Revolving Loan Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including for purposes of this subsection (b), participations in L/C Obligations and in Swing Line Loans); provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, no Participant shall be (i) a Loan Party or an Affiliate of a Loan Party, (ii) a natural person (or holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person) or (iii) a Defaulting Lender. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests, such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the holder of its Notes for all purposes under this Agreement and the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which any such sale is effected may require the selling Lender to obtain the consent of the Participant in order for such Lender to agree in writing to any amendment, waiver or consent of a type specified in Section 8.04(a)(i), (iv), (v) or (vii) or Section 8.04(b) but may not otherwise require the selling Lender to obtain the consent of such Participant to any other amendment, waiver or consent hereunder. The Borrowers agree that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are not paid when due (whether upon acceleration or otherwise), each Participant shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement and any other Loan Documents to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents; provided, however, that (i) no Participant shall exercise any rights under this sentence without the consent of the Administrative Agent, (ii) no Participant shall have any rights under this sentence which are greater than those of the selling Lender and (iii) such rights of setoff shall be subject to the obligation of such Participant to share the payment so obtained with all of the Lenders as provided in Section 2.10(b).

The Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.11 and Section 2.12 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.12 (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.12(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.15 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (c) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.11 or Section 2.12, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change of Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrowers’ request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrowers to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.15 with respect to any Participant. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in

-134-

​

the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(c)Assignments. Any Lender may, at any time, sell and assign to any Lender or any Eligible Assignee (individually, an “Assignee Lender”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including for purposes of this subsection (c), participations in L/C Obligations and in Swing Line Loans) (such a sale and assignment to be referred to herein as an “Assignment”) pursuant to an assignment agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit G (an “Assignment Agreement”), executed by each Assignee Lender and such assignor Lender (an “Assignor Lender”) and delivered to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register; provided, however, that:
(i)Each Assignee Lender that shall become a Lender shall provide, as a condition to the effectiveness of such assignment, appropriate assurances and indemnities (which may include letters of credit) to the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender as each may require with respect to any continuing obligation to purchase participation interests in any L/C Obligations or any Swing Line Loans then outstanding;
(ii)Without the written consent of the Administrative Agent and, if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers (which consent of the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), no Lender may make any Assignment to any Assignee Lender which is not, immediately prior to such Assignment, a Lender hereunder, provided that the Borrowers shall be deemed to have consented to any such Assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof;
(iii)Without the written consent of (1) the Administrative Agent, (2) if such Assignment would result in the Assignee Lender becoming a Lender, the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender, and (3) if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), no Lender may make any Assignment to any Assignee Lender (I) that is less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) in the aggregate or (II) if, after giving effect to such Assignment, the Revolving Loan Commitment or Loans of such Lender or such Assignee Lender would be less than Five Million Dollars

-135-

​

($5,000,000) (except that, in each case, a Lender may make an Assignment which reduces its Revolving Loan Commitment or Loans to zero without the written consent of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent except to the extent such written consent is required by clause (ii) above and clause (iv) below); and
(iv)Without the written consent of the Administrative Agent and, if no Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers (which consent of the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), no Lender may make any Assignment which does not assign and delegate an equal pro rata interest in such Lender’s Revolving Loans, Revolving Loan Commitment and all other rights, duties and obligations of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording of each Assignment Agreement, from and after the Assignment Effective Date determined pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, (A) each Assignee Lender thereunder shall be a Lender hereunder with a Revolving Loan Commitment and Loans as set forth on Attachment 1 to such Assignment Agreement and shall have the rights, duties and obligations of such a Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and (B) the Assignor Lender thereunder shall be a Lender with a Revolving Loan Commitment and Loans as set forth on Attachment 1 to such Assignment Agreement or, if the Revolving Loan Commitment and Loans of the Assignor Lender have been reduced to $0, the Assignor Lender shall cease to be a Lender and to have any obligation to make any Loan; provided, however, that any such Assignor Lender which ceases to be a Lender shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of any provision of this Agreement which by its terms survives the termination of this Agreement; provided further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Each Assignment Agreement shall be deemed to amend Schedule I to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of each Assignee Lender, the deletion of each Assignor Lender which reduces its Revolving Loan Commitment and Loans to $0 and the resulting adjustment of Revolving Loan Commitment and Loans arising from the purchase by each Assignee Lender of all or a portion of the rights and obligations of an Assignor Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. On or prior to the Assignment Effective Date determined pursuant to each Assignment Agreement, the Borrowers, at their own expense, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, in exchange for the surrendered Note(s) of the Assignor Lender thereunder, new Note(s) to each Assignee Lender thereunder that requests such a note (with each new Note to be in an amount equal to the Revolving Loan Commitment assumed by such Assignee Lender) and, if the Assignor Lender is continuing as a Lender hereunder, new Note(s) to the Assignor Lender if so requested by such Assignor Lender (with each new Note to be in an amount equal to the Revolving Loan Commitment retained by it). Each such new Note shall be dated the Sixth Restatement Effective Date or other date acceptable to such Lender, and each such new Note shall otherwise be in the form of the Note replaced thereby. The Notes surrendered by the Assignor Lender shall be returned by the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers marked “Replaced”.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Wells Fargo assigns all of its Revolving Loan Commitment and Loans pursuant to subsection (c) above, Wells Fargo may, (i) upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrowers and the Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer and/or (ii) upon

-136-

4140-1311-9828

​

​

​

five Business Days’ notice to the Borrowers, terminate the Swing Line. In the event of any such resignation as L/C Issuer or termination of the Swing Line, the Borrowers shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrowers to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Wells Fargo as L/C Issuer or the termination of the Swing Line, as the case may be. Wells Fargo shall retain all the rights and obligations of the L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.02(c)). If Wells Fargo terminates the Swing Line, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such termination, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.03(c).

In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans in accordance with its Revolving Proportionate Share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under Governmental Rules 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.

(d)Register. The Borrowers hereby designate the Administrative Agent (the “Agent”), and the Agent agrees, to serve as the Borrowers’ agent, solely for purposes of this Section 8.05(d), to maintain a register at its address referred to in Section 8.01 (the “Register”) on which it will record the Revolving Loan Commitments from time to time of each of the Lenders, the Loans made by, and Letters of Credit of, each of the Lenders and each repayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans and Letters of Credit of each Lender. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation shall not affect the Borrowers’ obligations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit. With respect to any Lender, the transfer of the Revolving Loan Commitment of such Lender and the rights to the principal of, and interest on, any Loan or Letter of Credit made pursuant to such Revolving Loan Commitment shall not be effective until such transfer is recorded on the Register maintained by the Agent, such recordation not to be unreasonably delayed. The ownership of such Revolving Loan Commitment, Loans and Letters of Credit prior to such recordation and all amounts owing to the transferor with respect to such Revolving Loan Commitment, Loans and Letters of Credit shall remain owing to the transferor. In

-137-

​

​

​

addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender. The registration of an assignment or transfer of all or part of any Revolving Loan Commitment, Loan or Letter of Credit shall be recorded by the Agent on the Register only upon the acceptance by the Agent of a properly executed and delivered Assignment Agreement pursuant to Section 8.05(c). Coincident with the delivery of such an Assignment Agreement to the Agent for acceptance and registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of a Loan, or as soon thereafter as practicable, the assigning or transferor Lender shall surrender the Note evidencing such Loan, and thereupon one or more new Notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to assigning or transferor Lender. The Borrowers agree to indemnify the Agent from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities of whatsoever nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Agent in performing its duties under this Section 8.05(d); and the Borrowers hereby designate the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent agrees, to serve as the Borrowers’ agent, solely for purposes of this Section 8.05(d), to maintain the Participant Register.
(e)Registration. Upon its receipt of an Assignment Agreement executed by an Assignor Lender and an Assignee Lender (and, to the extent required by Section 8.05(c), by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent) together with payment to the Administrative Agent by Assignor Lender of a registration and processing fee of $3,500, the Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Assignment Agreement and (ii) on the Assignment Effective Date determined pursuant thereto record the information contained therein in the Register and give notice of such acceptance and recordation to the Lenders and the Borrowers. The Administrative Agent may, from time to time at its election, prepare and deliver to the Lenders and the Borrowers a revised Schedule I reflecting the names, addresses and respective Revolving Loan Commitment or Loans of all Lenders then parties hereto (and in any event Schedule I shall be deemed amended to reflect any assignment consummated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or upon any Lender becoming a party to this Agreement by any other means (including pursuant to a joinder as contemplated by Section 2.01(b)).
(f)Confidentiality. Subject to Section 8.10, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may disclose the Loan Documents and any financial or other information relating to the Loan Parties to each other or to any potential Participant or Assignee Lender.
(g)Pledges to Federal Reserve Banks; Other Pledges of Notes. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any Lender may at any time assign all or a portion of its rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to a Federal Reserve Bank. No such assignment shall relieve the assigning Lender from its obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In the case of any Lender that is a Fund, such Lender may (i) assign or pledge all or any portion of the Loans held by it (and Notes evidencing such Loans) to the trustee under any indenture to which such Lender is a party in support of its obligations to the trustee for the benefit of the applicable trust beneficiaries, or (ii) pledge all or any portion of the Loans held by it (and Notes evidencing such Loans) to its lenders for collateral security purpose; provided, however, no such pledgee under clause (i) or (ii) shall become a Lender hereunder (by foreclosure,

​

​

​

transfer in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) unless and until it complies with the assignment provisions of this Agreement to become a Lender hereunder and has received all consents required hereunder.
(h)True Sale. All participations in the Obligations or any portion thereof, whether pursuant to provisions hereof or otherwise, are intended to be “true sales” for purposes of financial reporting in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140. Accordingly, the L/C Issuer or any Lender that sells or is deemed to have sold a participation in the Obligations (including any participations in Letters of Credit and/or Loans, any participations described in clause (b) above and any participations under Section 2.10(b)) (each a “Participation Seller”) hereby agrees that if such Participation Seller receives any payment in respect of the Obligations to which such participation relates through the exercise of setoff by such Participation Seller against the Borrowers or any other obligor, then such Participation Seller agrees to promptly pay to the participating party in such participation such participant’s pro rata share of such setoff (after giving effect to any sharing with the Lenders under Section 2.10(b) hereof).
(i)Additional Forms. If required by applicable Governmental Rules or otherwise deemed prudent by the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers and each Lender shall prepare, execute and deliver a completed Form U-1 (or Form G-3, as applicable) for each Lender (and, if applicable, for each Participant, in which case the applicable Lender shall cause its Participant to satisfy the requirements of this Section).
8.06. Setoff; Security Interest.
(a)Setoffs By Lenders. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, with the prior consent of the Administrative Agent but without prior notice to or consent of the Borrowers, any such notice and consent being expressly waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable Governmental Rules, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to set-off and apply against the Obligations any amount owing from such Lender to the Borrowers; provided, however, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of set-off, (i) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.16 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 and the Lenders, and (ii) 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 set-off. The aforesaid right of set-off may be exercised by such Lender or its Affiliates against the Borrowers or against any trustee in bankruptcy, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, receiver or execution, judgment or attachment creditor of the Borrowers or against anyone else claiming through or against the Borrowers or such trustee in bankruptcy, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, receiver, or execution, judgment or attachment creditor, notwithstanding the fact that such right of set-off may not have been exercised by such Lender at any prior time. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrowers after any such set-off and application made by such

-139-

4140-1311-9828

​

​

​

Lender; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.
(b)Security Interest. As security for the Obligations, the Borrowers hereby grant to the Administrative Agent and each Lender, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, a continuing security interest in any and all deposit accounts or moneys of the Borrowers now or hereafter maintained with such Lender. Each Lender shall have all of the rights of a secured party with respect to such security interest.
8.07. No Third Party Rights. Nothing expressed in or to be implied from this Agreement is intended to give, or shall be construed to give, any Person, other than the parties hereto and their permitted successors and assigns hereunder, any benefit or legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by virtue of this Agreement or under or by virtue of any provision herein.
8.08. Subject to Law; Partial Invalidity. All rights, powers and remedies provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provisions of law and are intended to be limited to the extent necessary so that they will not render this Agreement or the other Loan Documents invalid, unenforceable or not entitled to be recorded, registered or filed under the provisions of applicable law. If at any time any provision of this Agreement is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect under the law or any jurisdiction, neither the legality, validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement nor the legality, validity or enforceability of such provision under the law of any other jurisdiction shall in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
8.09. Jury Trial. EACH OF THE BORROWERS, THE LENDERS AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE GOVERNMENTAL RULES, HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY AS TO ANY ISSUE RELATING HERETO IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT.
8.10. Confidentiality. None of the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall disclose to any Person any Confidential Information, except that the Administrative Agent and any Lender may disclose any such information (a) to its own directors, officers, employees, auditors, counsel and other advisors and to its Affiliates; (b) to the Administrative Agent or any other Lender; (c) which is otherwise known or available to the public or which is otherwise known to the receiving party prior to the time such Confidential Information was delivered to the Administrative Agent or any Lender; (d) if required or appropriate in any report, statement or testimony submitted to any Governmental Authority having or claiming to have jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent or such Lender (including as required in connection with pledges and assignments permitted under Section 8.05(g)); (e) if required in response to any summons or subpoena; (f) in connection with any enforcement by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders of their rights under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any litigation among the parties relating to the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby; (g) to comply with any Requirement of Law applicable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender; (h) to any Assignee Lender or Participant or any prospective Assignee Lender or Participant; provided that such Assignee Lender or Participant or prospective Assignee Lender or Participant agrees to be bound by the provisions of

-140-

​

​

​

(or provisions substantially similar to) this Section 8.10; (i) [reserved] or (j) otherwise with the prior consent of such Loan Party; provided, however, that any disclosure made in violation of this Agreement shall not affect the obligations of the Loan Parties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In addition, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders 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 Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Nothing in this Section 8.10 shall limit the use of any Platform as described in Section 8.01(b).

8.11. Counterparts.
(a)This Agreement may be executed in any number of identical counterparts, any set of which signed by all the parties hereto shall be deemed to constitute a complete, executed original for all purposes. Transmission by facsimile, “pdf” or similar electronic copy of an executed counterpart of this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute due and sufficient delivery of such counterpart. Any party hereto may request an original counterpart of any party delivering such electronic counterpart.
(b)Electronic Execution. The words “execute,” “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery” and words of like import in or related to this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any document, amendment, approval, consent, waiver, modification, information, notice, certificate, report, statement, disclosure, or authorization to be signed or delivered in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures or execution in the form of an Electronic Record, and contract formations on electronic platforms approved by the Administrative Agent, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature 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. Each party hereto agrees that any Electronic Signature or execution in the form of an Electronic Record shall be valid and binding on itself and each of the other parties hereto to the same extent as a manual, original signature. For the avoidance of doubt, the authorization under this paragraph may include, without limitation, use or acceptance by the parties of a manually signed paper which has been converted into electronic form (such as scanned into PDF format), or an electronically signed paper converted into another format, for transmission, delivery and/or retention. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent is under no obligation to accept an Electronic Signature in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by the Administrative Agent pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that without limiting the foregoing, (i) to the extent the Administrative Agent has agreed to accept such Electronic Signature from any party hereto, the Administrative Agent and the other parties hereto shall be entitled to rely on any such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of the executing party without further verification and (ii) upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any Electronic Signature

-141-

​

shall be promptly followed by an original manually executed counterpart thereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby (A) agrees that, for all purposes, including without limitation, in connection with any workout, restructuring, enforcement of remedies, bankruptcy proceedings or litigation among the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and any of the Loan Parties, electronic images of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (in each case, including with respect to any signature pages thereto) shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as any paper original, and (B) waives any argument, defense or right to contest the validity or enforceability of the Loan Documents based solely on the lack of paper original copies of any Loan Documents, including with respect to any signature pages thereto.
8.12. Consent to Jurisdiction. Each of the parties to this Agreement irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Nevada and the courts of the United States located in Nevada and agrees that any legal action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents may be brought against such party in any such courts. Final judgment against any party in any such action, suit or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in any other jurisdiction by suit on the judgment, a certified or exemplified copy of which shall be conclusive evidence of the judgment, or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Section 8.12 shall affect the right of any party to commence legal proceedings or otherwise sue any other party in any other appropriate jurisdiction, or concurrently in more than one jurisdiction, or to serve process, pleadings and other papers upon any other party in any manner authorized by the laws of any such jurisdiction. The Borrowers agree that process served either personally or by registered mail shall, to the extent permitted by law, constitutes adequate service of process in any such suit. Each of the parties to this Agreement irrevocably waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Governmental Rules (a) any objection which it may have now or in the future to the laying of the venue of any such action, suit or proceeding in any court referred to in the first sentence above; (b) any claim that any such action, suit or proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum; (c) its right of removal of any matter commenced by any other party in the courts of the State of Nevada or to any court of the United States; (d) any immunity which it or its assets may have in respect of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document from any suit, execution, attachment (whether provisional or final, in aid of execution, before judgment or otherwise) or other legal process; and (e) any right it may have to require the moving party in any suit, action or proceeding brought in any of the courts referred to above arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document to post security for the costs of any party or to post a bond or to take similar action.
8.13. Relationship of Parties. The relationship between the Borrowers, on the one hand, and the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, on the other, is, and at all times shall remain, solely that of borrowers and lenders. Neither the Lenders nor the Administrative Agent shall under any circumstances be construed to be partners or joint venturers of the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates; nor shall the Lenders nor the Administrative Agent under any circumstances be deemed to be in a relationship of confidence or trust or a fiduciary relationship with the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates, or to owe any fiduciary duty to the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates. The Lenders and the Administrative Agent do not undertake or assume any responsibility or duty to the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates to select, review, inspect, supervise, pass judgment upon or otherwise inform the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates of any matter in connection with its or their property, any security held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or the operations

-142-

​

​

​

of the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates. The Borrowers and each of their Affiliates shall rely entirely on their own judgment with respect to such matters, and any review, inspection, supervision, exercise of judgment or supply of information undertaken or assumed by any Lender or the Administrative Agent in connection with such matters is solely for the protection of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and neither the Borrowers nor any of their Affiliates is entitled to rely thereon.

8.14. Time. Time is of the essence as to each term or provision of this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents.
8.15. Waiver of Punitive Damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the parties hereby agree that they shall not seek from the other parties punitive damages under any theory of liability; provided that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit the Loan Parties’ indemnity and reimbursement obligations to the extent set forth in Section 8.03 (including the Loan Parties’ indemnity and reimbursement obligations to indemnify Indemnitees for indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages that are included in any third party claim in connection with which such Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder) .
8.16. USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrowers, which information includes the name and address of the Borrowers and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrowers in accordance with the Patriot Act.
8.17. Waivers and Agreements of Borrowers. While not intended by the parties hereto, if it is determined that any Borrower is a surety of another Borrower:
(a)Without limiting the provisions of Section 1.13, the covenants, agreements and obligations of each Borrower set forth herein are joint and several and shall be primary obligations of such Borrower, and such obligations shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released, discharged or in any way affected by, any circumstance or condition whatsoever, foreseeable or unforeseeable.
(b)Each Borrower hereby waives (i) any right of redemption with respect to the Collateral after the sale hereunder, and all rights, if any, of marshalling of the Collateral or other collateral or security for the Obligations and (ii) any right (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived) to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to (A) proceed against the other Borrowers or any other Person, (B) proceed against or exhaust any other collateral or security for any of the Obligations or (C) pursue any remedy in the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s power whatsoever. Each Borrower hereby waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of the other Borrowers or any other Person other than payment in full of the Obligations, including, without limitation, any defense based on or arising out of the disability of the other Borrowers or any other Person, or the enforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the other Borrowers other than payment in full of the Obligations. The Administrative Agent may, at its election,

-143-

4140-1311-9828

​

​

​

foreclose on any security held by the Administrative Agent by one or more judicial or non-judicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable (to the extent such sale is permitted by applicable law), or exercise any other right or remedy the Administrative Agent may have against the other Borrowers or any other Person, or any security, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Borrower hereunder except to the extent the Obligations have been paid in full. Each Borrower waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by the Administrative Agent, even though that election of remedies, such as nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for a guaranteed obligation, has destroyed such Borrower’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against the other Borrowers.
8.18. Clarification. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the parties hereto understand and agree that Wells Fargo is acting in various capacities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and therefore shall be permitted to fulfill its roles and manage its various duties hereunder in such manner as Wells Fargo sees fit and, for the avoidance of doubt, in lieu of sending notices to itself when acting in different capacities Wells Fargo may keep internal records regarding all such communications, notices and actions related to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with its past practice.
8.19. Costs to Prevailing Party. If any action or arbitration proceeding is brought by any party against any other party under this Credit Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover such costs and attorney’s fees as the court or the arbitrator in such action or proceeding may adjudge as appropriate.
8.20. Notes. If any lender party to the Existing Credit Agreement receives a Revolving Loan Note under this Agreement, such lender shall promptly return its Revolving Loan Note (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement), as applicable, marked “cancelled” to the Borrowers.
8.21. Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
(a)the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and
(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 Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it

(b)As used in this Section 8.23, the following terms have the following meanings:

(b)The Release is applicable only and solely with respect to the Released Collateral and to no other collateral arising under the Security Documents.
