CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains “forward-looking statements” as defined in Section 27A of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements usually relate to future events, market growth and recovery, growth of our new energies business and anticipated revenues, earnings, cash flows or other aspects of our operations or operating results. Forward-looking statements are often identified by the words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “intend,” “foresee,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “may,” “estimate,” “outlook” and similar expressions, including the negative thereof. The absence of these words, however, does not mean that the statements are not forward-looking. These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations, beliefs and assumptions concerning future developments and business conditions and their potential effect on us. While management believes these forward-looking statements are reasonable as and when made, there can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those that we anticipate.
All of our forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties (some of which are significant or beyond our control) and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from our historical experience and our present expectations or projections. Known material factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated in the forward-looking statements include our ability to close the Measurement Solutions transaction, on a timely basis, if at all and the risks associated therewith; unpredictable trends in the demand for and price of oil and natural gas; competition and unanticipated changes relating to competitive factors in our industry, including ongoing industry consolidation; our inability to develop, implement and protect new technologies and services and intellectual property related thereto, including new technologies and services for our New Energy business; the cumulative loss of major contracts, customers or alliances and unfavorable credit and commercial terms of certain contracts; disruptions in the political, regulatory, economic and social conditions of the countries in which we conduct business; the refusal of DTC to act as depository and clearing agency for our shares; the impact of our existing and future indebtedness and the restrictions on our operations by terms of the agreements governing our existing indebtedness; the risks caused by our acquisition and divestiture activities; additional costs or risks from increasing scrutiny and expectations regarding ESG matters; uncertainties related to our investments in New Energy business; the risks caused by fixed-price contracts; our failure to timely deliver our backlog; our reliance on subcontractors, suppliers and our joint venture partners; a failure or breach of our IT infrastructure or that of our subcontractors, suppliers or joint venture partners, including as a result of cyber-attacks; risks of pirates and maritime conflicts endangering our maritime employees and assets; any delays and cost overruns of new capital asset construction projects for vessels and manufacturing facilities; potential liabilities inherent in the industries in which we operate or have operated; our failure to comply with existing and future laws and regulations, including those related to environmental protection, climate change, health and safety, labor and employment, import/export controls, currency exchange, bribery and corruption, taxation, privacy, data protection and data security; the additional restrictions on dividend payouts or share repurchases as an English public limited company; uninsured claims and litigation against us; tax laws, treaties and regulations and any unfavorable findings by relevant tax authorities; potential departure of our key managers and employees; adverse seasonal, weather, and other climatic conditions and unfavorable currency exchange rates; risk in connection with our defined benefit pension plan commitments; and our inability to obtain sufficient bonding capacity for certain contracts, as well as those set forth in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We caution you not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any of our forward-looking statements after the date they are made, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent required by law.

Certain forward-looking and other statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are informed by various Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) standards and frameworks (including standards for the measurement of underlying data) and the interests of various stakeholders. As such, such information may not, and should not be interpreted as necessarily being, “material” under the federal securities laws for the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) reporting purposes, even if we use the word “material” or “materiality” in this document. ESG information is also often reliant on third-party information or methodologies that are subject to evolving expectations and best practices, and our approach to and discussion of these matters may continue to evolve as well. For example, our disclosures may change due to revisions in framework requirements, availability of information, changes in our business or applicable governmental policies, or other factors, some of which may be beyond our control.

PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Company Overview
TechnipFMC plc (“TechnipFMC,” the “Company,” “we,” or “our”) is a leading technology provider to the traditional and new energy industries, delivering fully integrated projects, products, and services. With our proprietary technologies and comprehensive solutions, we are transforming our clients’ project economics helping them unlock new possibilities to develop energy resources while reducing carbon intensity and supporting their energy transition ambitions.
Organized in two business segments — Subsea and Surface Technologies — we will continue driving change in the energy industry with our pioneering integrated ecosystems, technology leadership and digital innovation.
Each of our approximately 21,000 employees is driven by a commitment to our clients’ success and a culture of execution excellence, purposeful innovation, and challenging industry conventions.
History
On January 17, 2017, FMC Technologies, Inc. and Technip S.A. combined through a merger of equals to create a global subsea leader, TechnipFMC, that would drive change by redefining the development of the subsea infrastructure used in the production of oil and natural gas through a new integrated commercial model. By integrating the complementary work scopes of the subsea production system (“SPS”) with the subsea umbilicals, risers, and flowlines (“SURF”) and installation vessels, we can more efficiently deliver an entire subsea development utilizing our integrated engineering, procurement, construction and installation model, which we refer to as iEPCI™ (“iEPCI”).
As the only subsea provider to integrate these work scopes, we successfully created a new market and helped expand the deepwater opportunity set for our clients during a challenging market environment. iEPCI has since grown to represent nearly one-third of the addressable subsea market, validating the benefits of our unique business model aimed at improving project economics by lowering project costs and accelerating the delivery schedule of hydrocarbon production. We have created a differentiated platform for further expansion and value creation through our technology innovation, including our Subsea 2.0™ (“Subsea 2.0”) configure-to-order product suite, our vast network of customer partnerships, and our services business levered to serve our large and expanding installed base.
On February 16, 2021, we completed the separation of the Technip Energies business segment (the “Spin-off”). Technip Energies offered design, project management, and construction services spanning the entire downstream value chain. The separation created two industry-leading, independent, publicly traded companies, TechnipFMC and Technip Energies.
Following the separation of Technip Energies, the Company completed the voluntary delisting of our shares from Euronext Paris in February 2022. A single listing on the New York Stock Exchange was more consistent with the Company’s strategic refocus and the geographic location of our shareholder base and allowed the Company to better align with our most appropriate peer set.

We are an industry leader in front-end engineering and design (“FEED”), subsea production systems (“SPS”), subsea flexible pipe, subsea umbilicals, risers, and flowlines (“SURF”), and subsea robotics. We also have the capability to install and service these products and systems using our fleet of highly specialized vessels. We are able to drive even greater value to our clients by integrating the SPS and SURF through more efficient design and installation of subsea field architecture. The resulting improvement in project economics has enabled the successful market adoption of our integrated engineering, procurement, construction and installation model, iEPCI, which now serves as the industry standard for integrated project execution.
iEPCI is our unique, fully integrated approach to designing, managing, and executing subsea projects. By combining complementary skills with innovative technologies, we improve project economics by lowering costs and accelerating time to first oil and natural gas for our clients. iEPCI projects are partnerships based on mutual trust and sharing knowledge. Success is built on early engagement and a collaborative, cooperative approach, both internally and with our clients.
Our integrated commercial model often begins with an integrated FEED study, or iFEED™ (“iFEED”), where we are uniquely positioned to influence project concept and design through early client engagement, allowing for the highest degree of integration. Using innovative solutions for subsea architecture, including standardized configurable equipment, new technologies, digital services, and simplified installation, we can optimize field design and layout.
Our first-mover advantage and ability to convert iFEED studies into iEPCI contracts, often as direct awards, creates a unique set of opportunities for us. This allows us to deliver a fully integrated – and technologically differentiated – subsea system, and to better manage the complete work scope through a single contracting mechanism and a single interface.
Following project delivery, we continue to support our clients by offering aftermarket and life of field services, which include production optimization, asset life extension, debottlenecking, and condition-based maintenance. Our wide range of capabilities and solutions allow us to help clients increase oil and natural gas recovery and equipment uptime while reducing overall cost. Our integrated life of field offering, iLOF™, is designed to unlock the full potential of subsea infrastructures during operations by proactively addressing the challenges operators face over the life of subsea fields.
Subsea Segment Products and Services
Subsea Production Systems (SPS). Our SPS are used in the offshore production of oil and natural gas.

We actively pursue alliances with companies engaged in the subsea development of oil and natural gas to promote our integrated systems for subsea production. These alliances are typically related to the procurement of subsea production equipment, although some are related to engineering, procurement, construction, and installation services. Development of subsea fields, particularly in deepwater environments, involves substantial capital investments. Operators have also sought alliances with us to ensure timely and cost-effective delivery of subsea and other energy-related systems that provide integrated solutions to meet their needs.
Our alliances establish important ongoing relationships with our customers. While these alliances do not contractually obligate our customers to purchase our systems and services, they have resulted in a growing number of direct awards to the Company.
The commitment to our customers goes beyond project delivery, and we foster these alliances with transparency and collaboration to better understand their needs and ensure customer success.
Competition
We are the only fully integrated company that can provide the complete suite of SPS and SURF equipment with the installation and life of field services, enabling us to develop a subsea field as a single company. We compete with companies that supply various components and services of a subsea development. Our competitors include Baker Hughes Company, Dril-Quip, Inc., McDermott International, Inc., NOV Inc., Oceaneering International, Inc., SLB, and Subsea 7 S.A.
Seasonality
Seasonal weather conditions generally subdue drilling activity, reducing vessel utilization and demand for subsea services as certain activities cannot be performed. As a result, the level of offshore activity in our Subsea segment is negatively impacted during such periods.
Strategy
Our vision for Subsea is to focus on safely providing innovative technologies and integrated solutions that drive change, improving economics, enhancing performance, and reducing emissions.
Our offering is enabled by our digital solutions and products that unlock new possibilities for growth in energy resources.

OTHER BUSINESS INFORMATION RELEVANT TO OUR BUSINESS SEGMENTS
Capitalizing on Energy Transition
Since our inception as an integrated company in 2017, TechnipFMC has been pursuing innovation to reduce emissions within the conventional energy space. We have also been exploring ways to position ourselves in the energy transition by delivering differentiated solutions and leveraging our core competencies and existing resources. This is the role of our New Energy business at TechnipFMC, where we will serve as system architect and integrator, from technology development through project delivery and life of field services. We believe offshore will be the next frontier of the energy transition, and our Company is ready to accelerate and grow our contribution.
We plan to be a key enabler of greenhouse gas removal, offshore floating renewables, and hydrogen solutions. To excel in these three pillars, we will leverage our onshore and offshore expertise and demonstrated capabilities in project integration. We will commercialize innovative solutions through our continued collaboration with energy companies and technology providers.
11


We will also utilize a configure-to-order (“CTO”) manufacturing model to create superior value for our clients.
Our contributions to greenhouse gas removal begin with carbon transportation and storage (“CTS”). Leveraging our existing equipment and integration expertise, we will safely transport and store carbon dioxide (“CO2”) using our integrated carbon transportation and storage solution, or iCTSTM. CTO modules for CO2 distribution and injection will reduce project-specific engineering while enabling custom storage system solutions to be built from pre-engineered products. Integrated control systems will provide flexibility to manage a wide range of functionalities, from surface and subsea injection equipment to downhole and seabed reservoir monitoring systems. We are also developing advanced digital solutions for onshore and offshore storage projects that will enable constant monitoring of CO2 at both the storage site and in the subsurface, a critical element of the CTS value chain.
We also see strong integration potential across offshore renewable markets, driven by continued development of wind, wave, and tidal technologies. By leveraging our extensive experience in project integration throughout the water column, from the ocean surface to the seafloor, we will bring scalability to offshore renewable markets in our role as system architect.
When used as baseload generation, renewable power sources do increase variability to the system and require additional energy storage capacity to ensure continuity of supply. We believe that creating large scale storage solutions to overcome this challenge is fundamental to the expanded use of renewable power, and we have been developing our Long Duration Energy Storage (“LDES”) hydrogen solution for offshore renewables to help meet the growing demand for power.
We will approach integration opportunities in renewable markets with an execution model that builds on the success of our iEPCI model in oil and natural gas. By acting as system architect and integrator in a complex and rapidly changing environment, we can play a meaningful role in enabling offshore renewable solutions.
The Markets
Greenhouse gas removal. We believe one of the safest and most efficient storage locations for greenhouse gases is in naturally occurring reservoirs and saline aquifers.
Existing equipment developed by our Surface Technologies and Subsea businesses can be leveraged to achieve this aim. Our efforts and achievements in this area include:
•Development of our integrated carbon transportation and storage system, or iCTSTM;
•Development and manufacturing of new gas transportation technologies, including thermoplastic composite pipe and hybrid flexible pipe;
•Agreement to commercialize PETRONAS’ unique natural gas processing membrane which reduces emissions of CO2 and hydrogen sulfide by integrating the technology into our onshore and offshore production offering; and
•Awards for several commercial contracts for carbon injection wellheads to be used for permanent sequestration in the Middle East, Australia, and the Netherlands.

Offshore floating renewables. TechnipFMC aspires to lead the offshore floating renewables industry by leveraging our differentiated technologies, product standardization, and system integration approach. This emerging market is predicted to grow from very limited today, to an installed base of 11 gigawatts by 2030. Our efforts and achievements in this area include:
•Partnership with Magnora ASA, Magnora Offshore Wind, to develop floating offshore wind projects;
•Partnership with Floating Power Plant, a renewable energy technology company, for an offshore green hydrogen pilot in the Canary Islands which will leverage our Deep PurpleTM system to deliver stable, renewable, and scalable energy offshore;
•Strategic investment in Orbital Marine Power, owner of the world's most powerful floating tidal energy turbine, which we believe to be the most mature tidal technology;
•Development of best-in-class 66KV dynamic inter array cables, (“DIAC”), which are a key component of our engineered system used by floating renewables infrastructure to transmit electricity generated offshore to the onshore power grid; and
•Development of advanced integrated water column solutions, including the engineering of the optimum coupled DIAC and mooring and anchoring system.

12


Hydrogen solutions. We believe hydrogen will become an important part of the global energy mix needed to reach Net Zero targets, driven in part by regulatory frameworks. Hydrogen as an energy carrier will bring reliability, stability, and efficiency to renewable sources. TechnipFMC’s extensive experience with oil and natural gas resources positions us well to develop new solutions for this emerging offshore market. Our strategy is focused on two main areas: the transportation and storage of green hydrogen produced offshore and in coastal areas, and LDES, where hydrogen is used as a battery solution that can exceed the traditional efficiency limits of lithium-ion technologies. Our efforts and achievements in this area include:
•Deep Purple™, which is our sustainable energy solution that provides renewable and scalable energy production offshore by integrating hydrogen production, compression, storage, and re-electrification via a fuel cell. An at-scale pilot program began in Norway in January 2022 and was successfully completed in October 2023;
•The Hardanger Hydrogen Project, with several partners including Statkraft, where TechnipFMC will qualify its subsea hydrogen storage pressure vessels and associated connection hardware, such as umbilicals and connectors. We may also provide hydrogen subsea storage for the next commercial phases of the project; and
•Hydrogen wellhead products and underground storage solutions as well as the integration of these systems including participation in Storengy’s Hydrogen Pilot STorage for large Ecosystem Replication (“HyPSTER”) project in France, where we have re-engineered and repurposed a Surface Technologies’ wellhead to facilitate the large-scale storage of green hydrogen in underground salt caverns.

We sought extensive input and feedback from a cross-section of our employees, senior leadership team, and new recruits, and announced “The energy to transform” as our new EVP. Built on two pillars – relentless innovation and caring for the future – it is underpinned by our global collaborative culture. It links to our overall brand positioning, which is driving change in the energy industry, and it describes both what the company does and what it offers employees and potential employees.

We encouraged and included more people from our business to share their inspiring experiences and stories that truly reflect the diversity and plurality we have in the Company. People from different cultures, generations, genders, races, disabilities, and sexual preferences are represented by what they all have in common: inspiring experiences lived at TechnipFMC. We continue to explore how best we can share these experiences with external candidates as well as internally through different channels. Significant effort was put into improving candidate experiences when accessing our website’s new career page as well as on our internal EVP-dedicated web page.
Our global recruitment system is being optimized to provide a more dynamic, modern and attractive experience with relevant content. Our onboarding program will be further simplified, with better global alignment and more efficient communication to make the experience of new employees and line managers more streamlined and connected.
Key performance indicators linked to talent acquisition are now available and accessible to key stakeholders through our internal tracking platform. In 2023, we achieved a reduction in recruiting lead times, even in a year of increased hiring volume.
Developing and Keeping Talent
People development is a key focus at TechnipFMC, including providing learning, career development and knowledge sharing opportunities enabling our people to perform at their fullest potential, and develop capabilities for simplification, standardization and industrialization.
We focus on talent development through a process called “Talking Talents.” This program forms the basis for developing employees into our three main career pathways, Leadership, Project Management and Technology. Input from the Talking Talents process is also used for succession planning. As in previous years, in 2023 our leaders spent a considerable amount of time planning for succession, resulting in an increase in depth of succession, utilization of talents and cross-pollination between business units and functions. Representation of underrepresented nationalities and gender also increased, as represented by the percentage of succession plans that included the specified populations.
We believe that regular dialogue between managers and employees is key to driving performance and building trust and engagement. Our Check-In process is embedded in our culture, where managers and employees meet at least quarterly to discuss goals, share feedback and have in-depth discussion about the employee’s development, including creating individual development plans. This process focuses leaders on the development of people on their team and enables employees to own their career path and focus on the future. In 2022 and 2023, we conducted Check-in Conversation workshops across our business attended by a majority of our managers. Our tools for developing employees also includes a continuous feedback platform that enables feedback to be provided from peers, leaders and reporting employees.
Developing effective leaders at all levels of the organization is also a top priority at TechnipFMC. Leadership You is our internal leadership development model which focuses on four areas: engaging people, thinking strategically, driving results and embracing change. This program is available to all employees, self-directed, customizable and driven by a global, enterprise-wide learning and knowledge management ecosystem.
Both employee attrition and key talent attrition in 2023 were lower compared to 2022 at around 7 percent and 6 percent, respectively. This was a result of the initiatives above, our focus on competitive compensation and benefits programs, dedicated efforts on providing learning and development opportunities and key talent moves identified in succession plans. Our internal hiring rate (percentage of posted jobs filled by internal candidates) also improved in 2023.
Learning and Training
With the forecasted growth in our business, sharpening our focus on enabling our people to grow, develop, and share knowledge will be imperative. The importance of being able to offer learning and knowledge-sharing opportunities in a digital, 24/7, and global environment has been key to our success. Building on our solid foundations, we delivered impactful courses, initiatives, and solutions across all of our business segments, in addition to being particularly focused on leadership, technology, and project management.
Our iLearn learning platform continues to be the main hub for delivering our formal learning initiatives such as eLearning courses, videos, instructor led training, and resource materials. We continue to embrace our digital transformation and strive to deliver engaging content. In 2023, there were more than 32,000 pieces of creative and innovative learning content available, with ongoing releases of new and meaningful courses, to support skills development for our employees and enhance their performance in their roles. In 2023, almost 432,000 training hours and 324,323 course completions were completed with 84 percent of completions being done online, which resulted in 18 training hours per employee.
15


We also saw a substantial increase in the amount of training hours related to our technical and engineering training where 164,271 hours were completed. This was the result of a significant focus and strategy to better engage with our technical employees and provide additional learning opportunities.
We leverage our internal knowledge sharing tools, The Bridge and The Well, to collaborate across the Company. The Bridge has 49 chartered global knowledge-sharing networks, up from 44 networks in 2022. The related knowledge repository, The Well, has more than 5,450 pages (up from 5,100 in 2022), which received more than 1.3 million visits in 2023 (up from 824,000 in 2022). The Well is connected with the Company’s competency management platform and provides direct access to competency-based content. Employees in all regions access these and other knowledge management social learning tools such as an Experts Explain webinar series and Illuminate podcasts to increase their knowledge about business and technical topics, and to share their own knowledge.
Technical Expertise Program
The global Technical Expertise Program (“TEP”) recognizes employees (“Technical Experts”) who have demonstrated technical mastery in their discipline, as well as technical impact, people development, business impact and industry leadership. The TEP currently has about 859 members, and in 2023, we added new sub-disciplines to capture under-represented technical communities and activities.
Our Technology Fellows are the highest tier of the TEP and personify its mission of advancing the Company’s technical leadership by advising, innovating, enhancing operations, sharing knowledge, and inspiring others - within the company and across the industry. Each Fellow is a pillar in their field of expertise, setting standards across the industry, cultivating the next generation of experts and ensuring that TechnipFMC retains its market leadership and competitive advantage.
In 2023, our Fellows sponsored a significant global initiative on intellectual property called “Think IP.” Through this program, they will share their knowledge broadly across the Company’s learning ecosystem and drive initiatives to protect our competitive advantage and respect our Company’s intellectual property and the intellectual property of other companies.
Equal Opportunity and Fair Representation
Three of our Foundational Beliefs – integrity, respect, and sustainability – are tangibly embedded in our commitment to equal opportunity and fair representation. While we recognize the importance of equal opportunity and fair representation to our long-term value and performance, we also recognize the importance of pursuing these aims in legally compliant manners. It is our policy that employment decisions, including those related to recruitment, selection, evaluation, compensation, and development, among others, not be influenced by unlawful or unfair discrimination on the basis of race, religion, gender, age, ethnic origin, nationality, sexual orientation, gender identity or gender reassignment, marital status, disability, or any other legally protected characteristic. Our equal opportunity and fair representation efforts are part of our legal compliance considerations, and we are committed to only rewarding legal methods of promoting these efforts.
In 2023, TechnipFMC was named one of the World’s Top Companies for Women by Forbes, for the second year in a row.
It is our policy to encourage and give full and fair consideration to applications for employment from disabled people, and to assist with their training and development in light of their aptitudes and abilities. If an existing employee becomes disabled, it is the Company’s policy wherever practicable to provide continuing employment under our usual terms and conditions, and to provide training, career development, promotion opportunities and a safe work environment based on the requested, reasonable needs to disabled employees to the fullest extent possible.
In December 2023, we celebrated International Day of Persons with Disabilities. In recent years, we have had various initiatives to promote inclusion and respect featuring our colleagues throughout the globe, including:

•Inspiring stories featuring perspectives from leadership and people with disabilities;
•Creating awareness of disabilities through web-based learning experiences; and
16


•Webcast with a diversity and inclusion expert, that shared a personal testimonial on disability in the workplace.

Other global days marked by TechnipFMC in 2023 include International Women's Day, International Day of Persons with Disabilities, and International Women in Engineering Day, among others.
Employee Networks and Resource Groups (“ENRGs”)
TechnipFMC’s ENRGs aim to engage and reinforce our commitment to creating an environment where all employees can achieve their full potential. Our ENRGs are open to all of our employees and include BOLD (Black Organization for Leadership and Development), EmPower Women’s Network, Parents Network, ¡PODER! Latin Network, OPEM (Proud to be Myself), Military Veterans and Friends Network, XYZ Network for professional development and STRIVE and IDEA Networks for diversity and inclusion. We continue to promote ENRGs globally by improving participation and sponsorship. ENRGs contribute in three ways:
•Encouraging meaningful employee engagement and development of future leaders;
•Acting as a resource for attraction and retention of talent; and
•Sharing new ideas and perspectives for a changing workforce.

Giving Back to the Community
TechnipFMC is focused on making a long-term, positive impact in the communities where we live and work. We encourage our employees to actively engage in “doing something good'’ through active engagement in health, education, and local employment. Initiatives include our global volunteering program, which encourages employees to perform four hours of volunteering each year at the Company’s expense, and promoting science, technology, engineering and mathematics (“STEM”) careers.
Employee Engagement and Well-being
In 2023, we conducted a global employee engagement survey. 73 percent of employees participated in the survey, and there was an improvement in overall engagement score as compared to the previous survey in 2021. This was the result of global actions and communications including a focus on senior leadership engagement through regular webcasts, site visits and quarterly meetings, roll out of a global wellbeing program “Workplace Options,” and regular communication to employees on business prospects and long-term strategy. In addition, engagement survey information was also made available by managers, location and business units, and leaders had access to review results, identify improvement opportunities and put action plans in place.
As committed by our Chair and CEO, we annually mark the month of October as mental health awareness month with several activities to promote awareness. Our 2023 activities included Take 5 Moments, webinars, employees podcasts, a virtual yoga event and a Global Wellbeing Questionnaire, which allows people to learn more about their physical, emotional, and practical well-being. A new Global Wellbeing & Mental Health Viva Engage page was created for employees to stimulate discussions around the topic. Employees around the world are able to share their own stories to better assist and educate us as we continue to push the message that “it’s okay not to be okay.” Our global well-being program from Workplace Options provides all our employees with access to mental health resources, counseling and health coaching.

Internal Communication
We have a robust internal communications strategy and support communication channels that ensure that we communicate with our employees in a timely and effective manner. The effectiveness of internal communication is monitored and adjusted based on various forms of feedback from multiple levels across the Company. Digital tools help us gauge the effectiveness of our digital communication platforms—from email to intranet to internal social media. Employees are regularly consulted and provided with information on changes and events that may affect them through channels such as regular meetings, employee representatives, and the Company’s intranet site. These consultations and meetings ensure that employees are kept informed of the financial and economic factors affecting the Company’s performance and matters of concern to them.
Labor Relations and Collective Agreements
We seek to maintain constructive relationships and regular dialogue and consultation with works councils and trade unions, and to comply with relevant local laws and collective agreements in relation to collective or individual labor relations. The Company’s European Works Council (“EWC”) includes all our eligible European entities and meets at least twice a year with management.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS    
Important risk factors that could impact our ability to achieve our anticipated operating results and growth plan goals are presented below. The following risk factors should be read in conjunction with discussions of our business and the factors affecting our business located elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and in our other filings with the SEC.
Summary Risk Factors
The following is a summary of some of the risks and uncertainties that could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. You should read this summary together with the more detailed description of each risk factor contained below.
Risks Related to Our Business and Industry
•Demand for our products and services depends on oil and natural gas industry activity and expenditure levels and the demand for and price of oil and natural gas.
•Competition and unanticipated changes relating to competitive factors in our industry, including ongoing industry consolidation, may impact our results of operations.
•Our success depends on our ability to develop, implement, and protect new technologies and services and intellectual property related thereto.
•Cumulative loss of several major contracts, customers, or alliances may have an adverse effect on us, and the credit and commercial terms of certain contracts may subject us to further risks.
•Disruptions in the political, regulatory, economic, and social conditions or public health crises in the countries in which we conduct business, could adversely affect our business or results of operations.
•The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) may cease to act as a depository and clearing agency for our shares.
•Our existing and future debt may limit cash flows available to our operations and to service our outstanding debt, and the restrictive covenants thereof may restrict our ability to take certain corporate actions.
•Our acquisition and divestiture activities involve substantial risks.
•Increasing scrutiny and expectations regarding ESG matters could result in additional costs or risks or otherwise adversely affect our business.
•Uncertainties with respect to the energy transition may adversely affect our business.

Risks Related to Our Operations
•We may lose money on fixed-price contracts.
•Our failure to timely deliver our backlog could affect future sales, profitability, and customer relationships.
•We face risks relating to our reliance on subcontractors, suppliers, and our joint venture partners.
•A failure or breach of our IT infrastructure or that of our subcontractors, suppliers, or joint venture partners, including as a result of cyber-attacks, could adversely impact our business and results of operations.
•Pirates and maritime conflicts endanger our maritime employees and assets.
•New capital asset construction projects for vessels and manufacturing facilities are subject to risks, including delays and cost overruns.

Risks Related to Legal Proceedings, Tax, and Regulatory Matters
•The industries in which we operate or have operated expose us to potential liabilities, including the installation or use of our products, which may not be covered by insurance or may be in excess of policy limits, or for which expected recoveries may not be realized.
•Our operations require us to comply with existing and future laws and regulations, including laws and regulations related to environment, climate change and greenhouse gas emissions, privacy, data protection, and data security, violations of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
19


•As an English public limited company, we must meet certain additional financial requirements before we may declare dividends or repurchase shares and certain capital structure decisions may require stockholder approval which may limit our flexibility to manage our capital structure.
•Uninsured claims and litigation against us could adversely impact our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
•We are subject to compliance risk with tax laws of numerous jurisdictions, and challenges to our interpretation of, or future changes to, tax laws could adversely affect us.

General Risk Factors
•Our businesses are dependent on the continuing services of our key managers and employees.
•Seasonal, weather, and other climatic conditions could adversely affect demand for our services and operations.
•Currency exchange rate fluctuations could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
•We are exposed to risks in connection with our defined benefit pension plan commitments.
•We may be unable to obtain sufficient bonding capacity for certain contracts, and the need for performance and surety bonds could reduce availability under our credit facility.

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry
Demand for our products and services depends on oil and natural gas industry activity and expenditure levels, which are directly affected by trends in the demand for and price of oil and natural gas.
We are substantially dependent on conditions in the oil and natural gas industry, including (i) the level of exploration, development, and production activity and (ii) capital spending. Any substantial or extended decline in these expenditures may result in the reduced pace of discovery and development of new reserves of oil and natural gas and the reduced exploration of existing wells, which could adversely affect demand for our products and services and, in certain instances, result in the cancellation, modification, or re-scheduling of existing orders in our backlog. These factors could have an adverse effect on our revenue and profitability. The level of exploration, development, and production activity is directly affected by trends in oil and natural gas prices, which historically have been volatile and are likely to continue to be volatile in the future.
Factors affecting the prices of oil and natural gas include, but are not limited to, the following:
•demand for hydrocarbons, which is affected by worldwide population growth, economic growth rates, and general economic and business conditions;
•costs of exploring for, producing, and delivering oil and natural gas;
•political and economic uncertainty, socio-political unrest and geopolitical conflicts, including the continued conflict between Russia and Ukraine, which has resulted in substantial reduction of natural gas imports from Russia to Europe and significant volatility in the costs of both wholesale gas and power;
•governmental laws, policies, regulations and subsidies related to or affecting the production, use, and exportation/importation of oil and natural gas;
•the ability or willingness of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and the 10 other oil producing countries, including Russia, Mexico and Kazakhstan (“OPEC+”) to set and maintain production level for oil;
•oil refining and transportation capacity and shifts in end-customer preferences toward fuel efficiency and the use of natural gas;
•technological advances affecting energy consumption;
•development, exploitation, relative price, and availability of alternative sources of energy and our customers’ shift of capital to the development of these sources;
•volatility in, and access to, capital and credit markets, which may affect our customers’ activity levels, and spending for our products and services;
•decrease in investors’ interest in hydrocarbon producers because of environmental and sustainability initiatives; and
•natural disasters.

The oil and natural gas industry has historically experienced periodic downturns, which have been characterized by diminished demand for oilfield services and downward pressure on the prices we charge.
20


The oil and natural gas market remains quite volatile, and price recovery and business activity levels are dependent on variables beyond our control, such as geopolitical stability, increasing attention to global climate change resulting in pressure upon shareholders, financial institutions and/or financial markets to modify their relationships with oil and natural gas companies and to limit investments and/or funding to such companies, increasing likelihood of governmental regulations, enforcement, and investigations and private litigation due to increasing attention to global climate change, OPEC+’s actions to regulate its production capacity, changes in demand patterns, and international sanctions and tariffs. Continued volatility or any future reduction in demand for oilfield services could further adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
We operate in a highly competitive environment and unanticipated changes relating to competitive factors in our industry, including ongoing industry consolidation, may impact our results of operations.
We compete on the basis of a number of different factors, such as product offerings, project execution, customer service, and price. In order to compete effectively, we must develop and implement innovative technologies and processes, including building artificial intelligence (“AI”) capabilities into our products and services, and execute our clients’ projects effectively. We can give no assurances that we will continue to be able to compete effectively with the products and services or prices offered by our competitors.
Our industry, including our customers and competitors, has experienced unanticipated changes in recent years. Moreover, the industry is undergoing consolidation to create economies of scale and to control the value chain, which may affect demand for our products and services because of price concessions from our competitors or decreased customer capital spending. This consolidation activity could impact our ability to maintain market share, maintain or increase pricing for our products and services or negotiate favorable contract terms with our customers and suppliers, which could have a significant negative impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. We are unable to predict what effect consolidations and other competitive factors in the industry may have on pricing, capital spending by our customers, our selling strategies, our competitive position, our ability to retain customers or our ability to negotiate favorable agreements with our customers and suppliers.
Our success depends on our ability to develop, implement, and protect new technologies and services and the intellectual property related thereto.
Our success depends on the ongoing development and implementation of new product designs, including the processes used by us to produce and market our products.
We continually attempt to develop new technologies for use in our business, including AI and machine learning. However, there is no guarantee of future demand for those technologies because the market for the new technologies may not develop or customers may be reluctant or unwilling to adopt our new technologies. In addition, we may also have difficulty negotiating satisfactory terms that would provide acceptable returns on our investment in the research and development of new technologies.
Development of new technology is critical to maintaining our competitiveness. However, we cannot assure that we will be able to successfully develop technology that our customers demand. Demand for our products and services may decline if we cannot keep pace with technological advances. Technology that is unavailable to us or that does not work as we expect, could adversely affect us. For example, the AI algorithms that we use may be flawed or may be based on datasets that are biased or insufficient, and our AI features may not achieve sufficient levels of accuracy or may not function as designed or have unintended consequences. New technologies, services or standards could render some of our products and services obsolete, which could reduce our competitiveness and have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operation.
Additionally, we are exploring opportunities in greenhouse gas removal, offshore floating renewables (wind, wave and tidal energy), and hydrogen. Many technologies involved in those projects are novel and will need to be further developed before we can determine whether a renewable energy project is technologically feasible.
Our success also depends on our ability to protect and maintain critical intellectual property assets related to these developments. If we are not able to obtain patents, maintain trade secrets or obtain other protection of our intellectual property rights, if our patents are unenforceable or the claims allowed under our patents are not sufficient to protect our technology, or if we are not able to adequately protect our patents or trade secrets, we may not be able to continue to develop our services, products and related technologies. There is also uncertainty around the validity and enforceability of intellectual property rights related to our use, development, and deployment of AI. Additionally, our competitors may be able to independently develop technology that is similar to ours without infringing on our patents or gaining access to our trade secrets. If any of these events occurs, we may be unable to meet evolving industry requirements or do so at prices acceptable to our customers, which could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
21


Due to the types of contracts we enter into and the markets in which we operate, the cumulative loss of several major contracts, customers, or alliances may have an adverse effect on our results of operations, and the credit and commercial terms of certain contracts may subject us to further risks.
We often enter into large, long-term contracts that, collectively, represent a significant portion of our revenue. These agreements, if terminated or breached, may have a larger impact on our operating results or our financial condition than shorter-term contracts due to the value at risk. Moreover, the global market for the production, transportation, and transformation of hydrocarbons and by-products, as well as the other industrial markets in which we operate, is dominated by a small number of companies. As a result, our business relies on a limited number of customers. If we were to lose several key contracts, customers, or alliances over a relatively short period of time, we could experience a significant adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
Additionally, certain of our customers may require us to provide extended payment terms or other forms of financial support as a condition to obtaining commercial contracts. We have long-term contracts involving significant amounts to be paid by our customers toward the later stage of a project. Pursuant to these contracts, we may deliver products and services representing an important portion of the contract price before receiving any significant payment from the customer. Such arrangements could restrict the use of our cash and other resources for other projects and opportunities and our business could also be adversely affected if the financial condition of our customers erodes.
Disruptions in the political, regulatory, economic, and social conditions or public health crises in the countries in which we conduct business could adversely affect our business or results of operations.
We operate in various countries across the world. Instability and unforeseen changes in any of the markets in which we conduct business, including economically and politically volatile areas or conflict or rumor of conflict could have an adverse effect on the demand for our services and products, our financial condition, or our results of operations. These factors include, but are not limited to, the following:
•nationalization and expropriation;
•potentially burdensome taxation;
•inflationary and recessionary markets, including capital and equity markets;
•volatility in economic conditions including tightening of credit markets, inflation, rising interest rates, and currency exchange rate fluctuations and devaluations;
•civil unrest, labor issues, political instability, disease outbreaks, terrorist attacks, cyber terrorism, military activity, and wars, including the continued conflict between Russia and Ukraine and Hamas and Israel;
•public health crisis such as the COVID-19 pandemic;
•increasing attention to global climate change resulting in pressure from shareholders, financial institutions and/or financial markets;
•supply disruptions in key oil producing countries;
•the ability of OPEC+ to set and maintain production levels and pricing;
•trade restrictions, trade protection measures, price controls, or trade disputes;
•sanctions, such as prohibitions or restrictions by the United States against countries that are the targets of economic sanctions, or are designated as state sponsors of terrorism;
•foreign ownership restrictions;
•import or export licensing requirements;
•restrictions on operations, trade practices, trade partners (including as a result of the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union), and investment decisions resulting from domestic and foreign laws, and regulations;
•regime changes;
•changes in, and the administration of, treaties, laws, and regulations including in response to public health issues;
•inability to repatriate income or capital;
•reductions in the availability of qualified personnel;
•foreign currency fluctuations or currency restrictions; and
•fluctuations in the interest rate component of forward foreign currency rates.

22


DTC may cease to act as the depository and clearing agency for our shares.
Our shares were issued into the facilities of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) with respect to shares listed on the NYSE. DTC is a widely used mechanism that allows for rapid electronic transfers of securities between the participants in their respective systems, which include many large banks and brokerage firms. DTC has general discretion to cease to act as the depository and clearing agency for our shares. If DTC determines at any time that our shares are not eligible for continued deposit and clearance within its facilities, then we believe that our shares would not be eligible for continued listing on the NYSE, and trading in our shares would be disrupted. Any such disruption could have a material adverse effect on the trading price of our shares.
Our existing and future debt may limit cash flows available to invest in the ongoing needs of our business and could prevent us from fulfilling our obligations under our outstanding debt.
We have substantial existing debt. As of December 31, 2023, our total debt was $1.1 billion. We also have the capacity under our debt agreements to incur substantial additional debt.
Our level of debt could have important consequences. For example, it could:
•require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flows from operations to the payment of debt service, reducing the availability of our cash flows to fund working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, distributions, and other general partnership purposes;
•increase our vulnerability to adverse economic or industry conditions;
•limit our ability to obtain additional financing to react to changes in our business; or
•place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to businesses in our industry that have less debt.

Additionally, any failure to meet required payments on our debt or to comply with any covenants in the instruments governing our debt, could result in an event of default under the terms of those instruments. In the event of such default, the holders of such debt could elect to declare all the amounts outstanding under such instruments to be due and payable. Such default could also trigger a cross default on our other debt.
Under our Revolving Credit Facility (see definition below), U.S. dollar-denominated loans bear interest, at the Company’s option, at a base rate or an adjusted rate linked to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) and Euro-denominated loans bear interest on an adjusted rate linked to the Euro interbank offered rate (“EURIBOR”). SOFR has limited history, and the future performance of SOFR cannot be predicted based on historical performance. SOFR, EURIBOR and certain other interest “benchmarks” may be subject to further regulatory guidance and/or reform that could cause interest rates under our current or future debt agreements to perform differently than in the past or cause other unanticipated consequences.

The terms of the agreements governing our existing indebtedness restrict our current and future operations, particularly our ability to respond to changes or to take certain actions.
The terms of the agreements governing our indebtedness contain a number of restrictive covenants that limit our flexibility in conducting our business and restrict our ability to take specific actions, including (subject to various exceptions) restrictions on incurring indebtedness, paying dividends, making certain loans and investments, selling assets or incurring liens which may limit our ability to compete effectively, or to take advantage of new business opportunities. In addition, the restrictive covenants in the credit agreement, dated February 16, 2021, (as amended) that governs our $1.25 billion senior secured multi-currency revolving credit facility (as amended, the “Revolving Credit Facility”) require us to maintain specified financial ratios and satisfy other financial condition tests.
A breach of the covenants or restrictions under our existing indebtedness could result in an event of default under the applicable indebtedness. Such default may allow the creditors to accelerate the related debt and may result in the acceleration of any other debt to which a cross-acceleration or cross-default provision applies. An event of default under our Revolving Credit Facility would also permit the lenders to terminate all commitments to extend further credit under that facility. Furthermore, if we were unable to repay the amounts due and payable under our Revolving Credit Facility, lenders thereunder could proceed against the collateral granted to them to secure that indebtedness. In the event our lenders or noteholders accelerate the repayment of our borrowings, we and our subsidiaries may not have sufficient assets to repay that indebtedness.
These restrictions may affect our ability to grow in accordance with our strategy. In addition, our financial results, our substantial indebtedness and our credit ratings could adversely affect the availability and terms of our financing.
23


Our acquisition and divestiture activities involve substantial risks.
We have made and expect to continue to pursue acquisitions, dispositions, or other investments that may strategically fit our business and/or growth objectives. We cannot provide assurances that we will be able to locate suitable acquisitions, dispositions, or investments, or that we will be able to consummate any such transactions on terms and conditions acceptable to us. Even if we do successfully execute such transactions, they may not result in anticipated benefits, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial results. If we are unable to successfully integrate and develop acquired businesses, we could fail to achieve anticipated synergies and cost savings, including any expected increases in revenues and operating results. We may not be able to successfully cause a buyer of a divested business to assume the liabilities of that business or, even if such liabilities are assumed, we may have difficulties enforcing our rights, contractual or otherwise, against the buyer. We may invest in companies or businesses that fail, causing a loss of all or part of our investment. In addition, if we determine that an other-than-temporary decline in the fair value exists for a company in which we have invested, we may have to write down that investment to its fair value and recognize the related write-down as an impairment loss.
In connection with the Spin-off, we agreed to indemnify Technip Energies for certain liabilities, and Technip Energies agreed to indemnify us for certain liabilities. If we are required to act on these indemnities to Technip Energies, our financial results could be negatively impacted. Additionally, any indemnity from Technip Energies may not be sufficient to insure us against the full amount of liabilities for which we are responsible, and Technip Energies may not be able to satisfy its indemnification obligations in the future.
Increasing scrutiny and expectations regarding ESG matters could result in additional costs or risks or otherwise adversely affect our business.
There has been increasing attention from stakeholders, investors, customers, regulators on renewable energy and ESG practices and disclosures, including practices and disclosures related to greenhouse gases and climate change, and diversity and inclusion initiatives and governance standards. Expectations regarding such practices and disclosures may result in increased costs (including but not limited to increased costs related to compliance, stakeholder engagement, contracting and insurance), changes in demand for certain product or service offerings, changes in the availability or cost of capital, enhanced compliance or disclosure obligations, or other impacts. In addition, negative attitudes toward or perceptions of fossil fuel products and their relationship to the environment and climate change may reduce the demand or authorization for production of oil and natural gas in areas of the world where our customers operate or otherwise limit our customers’ access to capital or ability to conduct operations, including via new regulation, and reduce future demand for our products and services. Any of these trends may, in turn, adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
While we may at times engage in voluntary initiatives (such as voluntary disclosures, certifications, or goals, among others) or commitments to improve the ESG profile of our company and/or products or respond to stakeholder concerns, such initiatives or achievements of such commitments may be costly and may not have the desired effect. For example, expectations around company’s management of ESG matters continues to evolve rapidly, in many instances due to factors that are out of our control. In addition, we may commit to certain initiatives or goals, and we may not ultimately be able to achieve such commitments or goals, either on the timeframes or costs initially anticipated or at all, due to factors that are within or outside of our control. Moreover, actions or statements that we may take based on based on expectations, assumptions, or third-party information that we currently believe to be reasonable may subsequently be determined to be erroneous or be subject to misinterpretation. Even if this is not the case, our current actions may subsequently be determined to be insufficient by various stakeholders, and any failure, or perceived failure, to comply with or advance certain ESG initiatives (including the timeline and manner in which we complete such initiatives) may result in various adverse impacts, including reputational damage or, investor or regulator engagement on our ESG initiatives and disclosures, even if such initiatives are currently voluntary. The increasing attention and pressure from the shareholders, financial institutions and/or financial markets could also increase the likelihood of governmental investigations and private litigation.
Additionally, certain market participants, including major institutional investors and capital providers, use third-party benchmarks and scores to assess companies’ ESG profiles in making investment or voting decisions. Unfavorable ESG ratings could lead to increased negative investor sentiment towards us or our industry, which could negatively impact our share price as well as our access to and cost of capital. To the extent ESG matters negatively impact our reputation, it may also impede our ability to compete as effectively to attract and retain employees or customers, which may adversely impact our operations. We also expect there to be increasing ESG-related regulations, disclosure-related and otherwise, which could magnify any of the risks identified in this risk factor.
24


For more information, see our risk factor titled “Compliance with environmental and climate change-related laws and regulations may adversely affect our business and results of operations.” Simultaneously, there are efforts by some stakeholders to reduce companies’ efforts on certain ESG-related matters. Both advocates and opponents to certain ESG matters are increasingly resorting to a range of activism forms, including media campaigns and litigation, to advance their perspectives. To the extent we are subject to such activism, it may require us to incur costs or otherwise adversely impact our business. This and other stakeholder expectations will likely lead to increased costs as well as scrutiny that could heighten all of the risks identified in this risk factor. Our customers and suppliers may be subject to similar risks, which may also result in augmented or additional risks.
We are exploring investments in energy transition, and uncertainties with respect to these markets may adversely affect our business.
Uncertainties with respect to the energy transition may adversely affect our business. As a result of our evolution in the renewable energies arena, we are exploring opportunities in greenhouse gas removal, offshore floating renewables, and hydrogen. While we have subsea and surface expertise, as well as capabilities in project integration, we are exploring opportunities that are new to us, and therefore involve uncertainties and risks.
The market for alternative and renewable energy is also intensively competitive and rapidly evolving. If the demand for alternative and renewable energy sources fails to grow sufficiently, if new geopolitical, legislative or regulatory initiatives emerge and governments around the world reduce subsidies and economic incentives on renewable energy projects, or if market opportunities manifest themselves in areas that we do not focus on, our New Energy business may not succeed.
Limited operating experience or limited brand recognition in new energy markets may also limit our goals and targets on business expansion.
Risks Related to Our Operations
We may lose money on fixed-price contracts.
As is customary for some of our projects, we often agree to provide products and services under fixed-price contracts. We are subject to material risks in connection with such fixed-price contracts, including bearing greater risk of paying some, if not all, of any cost overruns. It is not possible to estimate with complete certainty the final cost or margin of a project at the time of bidding or during the early phases of its execution. Actual expenses incurred in executing these fixed-price contracts can vary substantially from those originally anticipated for several reasons including, but not limited to, the following:
•unforeseen additional costs related to the purchase of substantial equipment, material, and components necessary for contract fulfillment or labor shortages in the markets where the contracts are performed;
•increasing costs from inflation, rising interest rates as well as supply chain disruptions;
•mechanical failure of our production equipment and machinery;
•delays caused by local weather conditions and/or natural disasters (including earthquakes, floods and public health crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic), which may become more frequent or severe as a result of climate change; and
•a failure of suppliers, subcontractors, or joint venture partners to perform their contractual obligations.

The realization of any material risks and unforeseen circumstances could also lead to delays in the execution schedule of a project. We may be held liable to a customer should we fail to meet project milestones or deadlines or to comply with other contractual provisions. Additionally, delays in certain projects could lead to delays in subsequent projects that were scheduled to use equipment and machinery still being utilized on a delayed project.
Pursuant to the terms of fixed-price contracts, we are not always able to increase the price of the contract to reflect factors that were unforeseen at the time our bid was submitted, and this risk may be heightened for projects with longer terms. Depending on the size of a project, variations from estimated contract performance, or variations in multiple contracts, could have a significant impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Our failure to timely deliver our backlog could affect future sales, profitability, and relationships with our customers.
Many of the contracts we enter into with our customers require long manufacturing lead times due to complex technical and logistical requirements.
25


These contracts may contain clauses related to liquidated damages or financial incentives regarding on-time delivery, and a failure by us to deliver in accordance with customer expectations could subject us to liquidated damages or loss of financial incentives, reduce our margins on these contracts, or result in damage to existing customer relationships. The ability to meet customer delivery schedules for this backlog is dependent upon a number of factors, including, but not limited to, access to raw materials required for production, an adequately trained and capable workforce, subcontractor performance, project engineering expertise and execution, sufficient manufacturing plant capacity, and appropriate planning and scheduling of manufacturing resources. Failure to deliver backlog in accordance with expectations could negatively impact our financial performance.
We face risks relating to our reliance on subcontractors, suppliers, and our joint venture partners.
We generally rely on subcontractors, suppliers, and our joint venture partners for the performance of our contracts. Although we are not dependent upon any single supplier, certain geographic areas of our business or a project or group of projects may depend heavily on certain suppliers for raw materials or semi-finished goods.
Any difficulty in engaging suitable subcontractors or acquiring equipment and materials could compromise our ability to generate a significant margin on a project or to complete such project within the allocated time frame. If subcontractors, suppliers or joint venture partners refuse to adhere to their contractual obligations with us, or are unable to do so due to a deterioration of their financial condition or other event such as a major cyberattack, we may be unable to find a suitable replacement at a comparable price, or at all. Moreover, the failure of one of our joint venture partners to perform their obligations in a timely and satisfactory manner could lead to additional obligations and costs being imposed on us as we may be obligated to assume our defaulting partner’s obligations or compensate our customers.
Any delay, failure to meet contractual obligations, or other event beyond our control or not foreseeable by us, that is attributable to a subcontractor, supplier or joint venture partner, could lead to delays in the overall progress of the project and/or generate significant extra costs. Even if we are entitled to make a claim for these extra costs against the defaulting supplier, subcontractor or joint venture partner, we may be unable to recover the entirety of these costs and this could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
A failure or breach of our IT infrastructure or that of our subcontractors, suppliers or joint venture partners, including as a result of cyber-attacks, could adversely impact our business and results of operations.
The efficient and successful operation of our business is dependent on the security and integrity of our physical assets and computing hardware, software, technology infrastructure, online sites and networks (collectively, “IT Systems”), and data about customers, employees and others, including personal information and proprietary business data (collectively, “Confidential Information”) that we process and maintain. Accordingly, we rely upon the capacity, reliability, and security of our IT Systems and our ability to expand and update such systems in response to changing needs and evolving threats.
We face numerous and evolving cybersecurity risks that threaten the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our IT Systems and Confidential Information. We are continuously subject to cyber-attacks, including phishing, malware, ransomware, and other security incidents, and expect attacks and other incidents in the future. No attack or incident has had a material adverse effect on our business; however, this may not be the case with future attacks. There can be no assurance that our cybersecurity risk management program and processes, including our policies, controls or procedures, will be fully implemented, complied with or effective in protecting our IT Systems and Confidential Information. Accordingly, our IT Systems, Confidential Information, and physical assets are vulnerable to compromise and damage from such attacks, as well as from natural disasters, failures or security vulnerabilities in hardware or software, power fluctuations, unauthorized access to data and systems, theft, loss or destruction of data (including confidential customer, employee or contractor information), human error, and other similar disruptions. Hybrid working arrangements also present increased cybersecurity risks due to the prevalence of social engineering and other attacks in relation to non-corporate and home workers. If a cyber-attack, power outage, connectivity issue, or other event occurred that impacted our employees’ ability to work remotely, it may be difficult or, in certain cases, impossible, for us to continue our business for a substantial period of time.
We rely on third parties to provide IT Systems, for example, to support the operation of our IT hardware, software infrastructure, and cloud services, and in certain instances, we utilize web-based and software-as-a-service applications, across a broad array of services and functions (e.g., human resources, finance, data transmission, communications, risk compliance, among others). Third parties are also involved in helping us collect, process and maintain aspects of our Confidential Information. The security and privacy measures implemented by third parties on whom we rely for internal and external operations may not be sufficient to identify or prevent cyber-attacks, and any such attacks may have a material adverse effect on our business.
26


While our agreements with third parties, such as vendors, typically contain provisions that seek to eliminate or limit our exposure to liability for damages from a cyber-attack, we cannot ensure such provisions will withstand legal challenges or cover all or any such damages. We have acquired and continue to acquire companies with cybersecurity vulnerabilities and/or unsophisticated security measures, which exposes us to significant cybersecurity, operational, and financial risks.
Threats to our IT Systems and to those of our subcontractors, suppliers and joint venture partners arise from numerous sources, not all of which are within our or their control, including but not limited to fraud or malice on the part of insiders or third parties, accidental technological failure or unknown vulnerabilities in hardware or software, electrical or telecommunication outages, failures of computer servers or other damage to our property or assets, outbreaks of hostilities, terrorist acts, and social engineering (e.g., phishing). The frequency and magnitude of cyberattacks and other security incidents is expected to increase in the future and attackers are becoming more sophisticated. We, as well as other critical business partners, may be unable to anticipate, detect or prevent future attacks, particularly because the methodologies utilized by attackers change frequently or are not recognized until launched, and attackers are increasingly using techniques and tools (such as AI) designed to circumvent controls, to avoid detection, and to remove or obfuscate forensic evidence. The failure of our or others’ security controls and measures to prevent, detect, contain or remediate cyberattacks or other significant security incidents could disrupt our business and result in numerous adverse consequences, including reduced effectiveness and efficiency of operations, inappropriate disclosure of confidential and proprietary information, including personal data, litigation or regulatory investigations, actions and fines included for a breach of data protection laws, reputational harm, increased overhead costs including due to compliance requirements, and loss of important information, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. In addition, we may be required to incur significant costs to protect against or to mitigate damage caused by these attacks, disruptions or other security incidents in the future. Our insurance coverage may not cover all of the costs and liabilities we incur as the result of these events, and if our business continuity and/or disaster recovery plans do not effectively and timely resolve issues resulting from a cyber-attack, we may suffer material adverse effects on our business.
Pirates and maritime conflicts endanger our maritime employees and assets.
We face material piracy and maritime conflict risks in the Gulf of Guinea, the Somali Basin, the Gulf of Aden, and the Red Sea, and, to a lesser extent, in Southeast Asia, Malacca, and the Singapore Straits. Piracy represents a risk for both our projects and our vessels, which operate and transport through sensitive maritime areas. We may face additional risks to the extent other maritime disputes or conflicts emerge, such as the conflict around the Houthis’ attacks in the Red Sea following the Israel/Hamas war. Such risks have the potential to significantly harm our crews and to negatively impact the execution schedule for our projects. If our maritime employees or assets are endangered, additional time may be required to find an alternative solution, which may delay project realization and negatively impact our business, financial condition, or results of operations.
New capital asset construction projects for vessels and manufacturing facilities are subject to risks, including delays and cost overruns, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, or results of operations.
From time to time, we carry out capital asset construction projects to maintain, upgrade, and develop our asset base, and such projects are subject to risks of delay and cost overruns that are inherent in any large construction project, resulting from numerous factors including, but not limited to, the following:
•shortages of key equipment, materials or skilled labor;
•inflation, including rising costs of labor;
•delays in the delivery of ordered materials and equipment;
•design and engineering issues; and
•shipyard delays and performance issues.

Failure to complete construction in time, or the inability to complete construction in accordance with design specifications, may result in the loss of revenue. Additionally, capital expenditures for construction projects could materially exceed the initially planned investments, or there could be delays in putting such assets into operation.
27


Risks Related to Legal Proceedings, Tax and Regulatory Matters
The industries in which we operate or have operated expose us to potential liabilities, including as a result of the installation or use of our products, which may not be covered by insurance or may be in excess of policy limits, or for which expected recoveries may not be realized.
We are subject to potential liabilities arising from, among other possibilities, equipment malfunctions, equipment misuse, personal injuries, and natural disasters, any of which may result in hazardous situations, including uncontrollable flows of oil, gas or well fluids, or other sources of energy, fires, and explosions. Our insurance against these risks may not be adequate to cover our liabilities. Further, the insurance may not generally be available in the future or, if available, premiums may not be commercially justifiable. If we incur substantial liability and the damages are not covered by insurance or are in excess of policy limits, or if we were to incur liability at a time when we were not able to obtain liability insurance, such potential liabilities could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
Our operations require us to comply with numerous regulations, violations of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
Our operations and manufacturing activities are governed by international, regional, transnational, and national laws and regulations in every place where we operate relating to matters such as environmental protection, health and safety, labor and employment, import/export controls, currency exchange, bribery and corruption, and taxation. These laws and regulations are complex, frequently change, and have tended to become more stringent over time. In the event the scope of these laws and regulations expand in the future, or we introduce new features in our products and services, such as AI, that subject us to new and evolving laws and regulations, the incremental cost of compliance could adversely impact our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
Our international operations are subject to anti-corruption laws and regulations, such as the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”), the U.K. Bribery Act of 2010 (the “Bribery Act”), the anti-corruption provisions of French law n° 2016-1691 dated December 9, 2016 relating to Transparency, Anti-corruption and Modernization of the Business Practice, the Brazilian law nº 12,846/13, or the Brazilian Anti-Bribery Act (also known as the Brazilian Clean Company Act), and economic and trade sanctions, including those administered by the United Nations, the European Union, the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Department of the Treasury (“U.S. Treasury”), and the U.S. Department of State. The FCPA prohibits corruptly providing anything of value to foreign officials for the purposes of obtaining or retaining business or securing any improper business advantage. We may deal with both governments and state-owned business enterprises, the employees of which are considered foreign officials for purposes of the FCPA. The provisions of the Bribery Act extend beyond bribery of foreign public officials and are more onerous than the FCPA in a number of other respects, including jurisdiction, non-exemption of facilitation payments, and penalties. Economic and trade sanctions restrict our transactions or dealings with certain sanctioned countries, territories, and designated persons.
As a result of doing business in countries throughout the world, including through partners and agents, we are exposed to a risk of violating anti-corruption laws and sanctions regulations. Some of the international locations in which we currently operate or may operate, in the future, have developing legal systems and may have higher levels of corruption than more developed nations. Our continued expansion and worldwide operations, including in developing countries, our development of joint venture relationships worldwide, and the employment of local agents in the countries in which we operate increase the risk of violations of anti-corruption laws and economic and trade sanctions. Violations of anti-corruption laws and economic and trade sanctions are punishable by civil penalties, including fines, denial of export privileges, injunctions, asset seizures, debarment from government contracts (and termination of existing contracts), and revocations or restrictions of licenses, as well as criminal fines and imprisonment. In addition, any major violations could have a significant impact on our reputation and, consequently, on our ability to win future business.
We have implemented policies and procedures designed to minimize and detect potential violations of laws and regulations in a timely manner, but we can provide no assurance that such policies and procedures will be followed at all times or will effectively detect and prevent violations of the applicable laws by one or more of our employees, consultants, agents, or partners. The occurrence of any such violation could subject us to penalties and material adverse consequences on our business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
28


Compliance with environmental and climate change-related laws and regulations may adversely affect our business and results of operations.
Environmental laws and regulations in various countries affect the equipment, systems, and services we design, market, and sell, as well as the facilities where we manufacture our equipment and systems, and any other operations we undertake. We are required to invest financial and managerial resources to comply with environmental laws and regulations, and believe that we will continue to be required to do so in the future. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations may result in the assessment of administrative, civil, and criminal penalties, the imposition of remedial obligations, the issuance of orders enjoining our operations, or other claims and complaints. Additionally, our insurance and compliance costs may increase as a result of changes in environmental laws and regulations or changes in enforcement. These laws and regulations, as well as any new laws and regulations affecting exploration and development of drilling for oil and natural gas, are becoming increasingly strict and could adversely affect our business and operating results by increasing our costs, limiting the demand for our products and services, or restricting our operations.
Regulatory requirements related to ESG (including sustainability) matters have been, and are being, implemented in the European Union in particular, in relation to financial market participants. Such regulatory requirements are being implemented on a phased basis. We expect regulatory requirements related to, and investor focus on, ESG (including sustainability) matters to continue to expand in the EU, the United States, Brazil, and more globally. For example, in the United States, various policymakers, including the SEC and the State of California, have adopted (or are considering adopting) climate-related disclosure requirements addressing governance, strategy, risk management, emissions metrics, and financial impacts, among other things, which could require us to incur additional costs for monitoring and compliance.

Existing or future laws and regulations relating to greenhouse gas emissions and climate change may adversely affect our business.
Climate change continues to attract considerable public and scientific attention. As a result, numerous laws, regulations, and proposals have been made and are likely to continue to be made at the international, national, regional, and state levels of government to monitor and limit emissions of carbon dioxide, methane, and other “greenhouse gases” (“GHGs”). These efforts have included cap-and-trade programs, carbon taxes, GHG reporting and tracking programs and regulations that directly limit GHG emissions from certain sources. Such existing or future laws, regulations, and proposals concerning the release of GHGs or that concern climate change (including laws, regulations, and proposals that seek to mitigate the effects of climate change) may adversely impact demand for the equipment, systems and services we design, market and sell. For example, oil and natural gas exploration and production may decline as a result of such laws, regulations, and proposals, and as a consequence, demand for our equipment, systems and services may also decline. In addition, such laws, regulations, and proposals may also result in more onerous obligations with respect to our operations, including the facilities where we manufacture our equipment and systems. Such decline in demand for our equipment, systems and services and such onerous obligations in respect of our operations may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
As an English public limited company, we must meet certain additional financial requirements before we may declare dividends or repurchase shares and certain capital structure decisions may require stockholder approval which may limit our flexibility to manage our capital structure. We may not be able to pay dividends or repurchase our ordinary shares in accordance with our announced intent, or at all.
Under English law, we will only be able to declare dividends, make distributions, or repurchase shares (other than out of the proceeds of a new issuance of shares for that purpose) out of “distributable profits.” Distributable profits are a company’s accumulated, realized profits, to the extent that they have not been previously utilized by distribution or capitalization, less its accumulated, realized losses, to the extent that they have not been previously written off in a reduction or reorganization of capital duly made. In addition, as a public limited company incorporated in England and Wales, we may only make a distribution if the amount of our net assets is not less than the aggregate of our called-up share capital and non-distributable reserves, to the extent that the distribution does not reduce the amount of those assets to less than that aggregate.
Our articles of association permit us by ordinary resolution of the stockholders to declare dividends, provided that the directors have made a recommendation as to its amount. The dividend shall not exceed the amount recommended by the Board of Directors. The directors may also decide to pay interim dividends if it appears to them that the profits available for distribution justify such payment. When recommending or declaring payment of a dividend, the directors are required under English law to comply with their duties, including considering our future financial requirements.
29


In addition, the Board of Directors’ determinations regarding dividends and share repurchases will depend on a variety of other factors, including our net income, cash flows generated from operations or other sources, liquidity position, and potential alternative uses of cash, such as acquisitions, as well as economic conditions and expected future financial results. Our ability to declare and pay future dividends and make future share repurchases will depend on our future financial performance, which in turn depends on the successful implementation of our strategy and on financial, competitive, regulatory, technical, general economic conditions, demand and selling prices for our products and services, and other factors specific to our industry or specific projects, many of which are beyond our control. Therefore, our ability to generate cash depends on the performance of our operations and could be limited by decreases in our profitability or increases in costs, regulatory changes, capital expenditures, or debt servicing requirements.
Any failure to pay dividends or repurchase shares of our ordinary shares could negatively impact our reputation, harm investor confidence in us, and cause the market price of our ordinary shares to decline.
Uninsured claims and litigation against us, including product liability and personal injury claims and intellectual property litigation, could adversely impact our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
We could be impacted by the outcome of pending litigation, as well as unexpected litigation or proceedings. We have insurance coverage against operating hazards, including product liability claims and personal injury claims related to our products or operating environments in which our employees operate, to the extent deemed prudent by our management and to the extent insurance is available. However, our insurance policies are subject to exclusions, limitations, and other conditions and may not apply in all cases, for example, where willful wrongdoing on our part is alleged. Additionally, the nature and amount of that insurance may not be sufficient to fully indemnify us against liabilities arising out of pending and future claims and litigation. Additionally, in individual circumstances, certain proceedings or cases may also lead to our formal or informal exclusion from tenders or the revocation or loss of business licenses or permits. Our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows could be adversely affected by unexpected claims not covered by insurance.
In addition, the tools, techniques, methodologies, programs, and components we use to provide our services, including through our use of AI, may infringe upon the intellectual property rights of others. Infringement claims generally result in significant legal and other costs. The resolution of these claims could require us to pay damages, enter into license agreements or develop alternative technologies. The development of these technologies or the payment of royalties under licenses from third parties, if available, would increase our costs. If a license were not available, or we are not able to develop alternative technologies, we might not be able to continue providing a particular service or product, which could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
We are subject to governmental regulation and other legal obligations related to privacy, data protection, and data security. Our actual or perceived failure to comply with such obligations could harm our business.
We are subject to international data protection laws, such as the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679, or GDPR, in the European Economic Area, or EEA, the UK General Data Protection Regulation and Data Protection Act 2018 (collectively, the “UK GDPR”), certain U.S. state regulations, and the Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados (“LGPD”) in Brazil. The GDPR, UK GDPR and implementing legislation in the EEA impose several stringent requirements for controllers and processors of personal data which have increased our obligations, including, for example, by requiring more robust disclosures to individuals, notifications, in some cases, of data breaches to regulators and data subjects, and a record of processing and other policies and procedures to be maintained to adhere to the accountability principle.

In addition, we are subject to the GDPR and UK GDPR’s rules on transferring personal data outside of the EEA and UK (including to the United States). Case law from the Court of Justice of the European Union (“CJEU”) states that reliance on the standard contractual clauses—a standard form of contract approved by the European Commission as an adequate personal data transfer mechanism—alone may not necessarily be sufficient in all circumstances and that transfers must be assessed on a case-by-case basis. On October 7, 2022, President Biden signed an Executive Order on ‘Enhancing Safeguards for United States Intelligence Activities’ which introduced new redress mechanisms and binding safeguards to address the concerns raised by the CJEU in relation to data transfers from the EEA to the United States and which formed the basis of the new EU-US Data Privacy Framework (“DPF”), as released on December 13, 2022.
30


The European Commission adopted its Adequacy Decision in relation to the DPF on July 10, 2023, rendering the DPF effective as an EU GDPR transfer mechanism to U.S. entities self-certified under the DPF. On October 12, 2023, the UK Extension to the DPF came into effect (as approved by the UK Government), as a UK GDPR data transfer mechanism to U.S. entities self-certified under the UK Extension to the DPF. We currently rely on the standard contractual clauses to transfer personal data outside the EEA and the UK Addendum to the EU standard contractual clauses and the UK International Data Transfer Agreement to transfer personal data outside the EEA and the UK with respect to both intragroup and third-party transfers. The UK’s Information Commissioner’s Office has published new data transfer standard contracts for transfers from the UK under the UK GDPR. This new documentation has been mandatory for relevant, new data transfers since September 21, 2022; existing standard contractual clauses arrangements must be migrated to the new documentation by March 21, 2024. We will be required to implement the latest UK data transfer documentation for data transfers subject to the UK GDPR within the relevant time frames. We expect the existing legal complexity and uncertainty regarding international personal data transfers to continue. In particular, we expect the DPF Adequacy Decision to be challenged and international transfers to the United States and to other jurisdictions more generally to continue to be subject to enhanced scrutiny by regulators. As the enforcement landscape further develops, and supervisory authorities issue further guidance on personal data export mechanisms, including circumstances where the standard contractual clauses cannot be used, and/or start taking enforcement action, we could suffer additional costs, complaints and/or regulatory investigations or fines, we may have to stop using certain tools and vendors and make other operational changes, we have had to and will have to implement revised standard contractual clauses for existing customer arrangements within required time frames, and/or if we are otherwise unable to transfer personal data between and among countries and regions in which we operate, it could affect the manner in which we provide our services, the geographical location or segregation of our relevant systems and operations, and could adversely affect our financial results.
We are also subject to evolving EU and UK privacy laws on cookies, tracking technologies, and e-marketing. Recent European court and regulator decisions are driving increased attention to cookies and tracking technologies, regulators are also increasingly focusing on compliance with requirements in the online behavioral advertising ecosystem, and current national laws that implement the ePrivacy Directive are highly likely to be replaced by an EU regulation known as the ePrivacy Regulation which will significantly increase fines for non-compliance. If regulators start to enforce the strict approach to opt-in consent for all but essential use cases, as seen in recent guidance and decisions, this could lead to substantial costs, require significant systems changes. Violations of such laws could result in regulatory investigations, fines, orders to cease/change our use of such technologies, as well as civil claims including class actions, and reputational damage.
Failure to comply with the requirements of GDPR, UK GDPR and the local laws implementing or supplementing the GDPR could result in fines (for example, non-compliance with the GDPR or UK GDPR, specifically, may result in administrative fines or monetary penalties, by each regime, up to the greater of €20,000,000/ £17,000,000 or up to 4 percent of the total worldwide annual turnover of the preceding financial year). Since we are subject to the supervision of relevant data protection authorities under both the EU GDPR and the UK GDPR, we could be fined under each of those regimes independently in respect of the same breach. In addition, we may also face regulatory investigations and enforcement action, reputational damage, orders to cease/change our data processing activities, enforcement notices, assessment notices (for a compulsory audit), and/or civil claims including representative actions and other class action type litigation, potentially amounting to significant compensation or damages liabilities, as well as associated costs, diversion of internal resources, and reputational harm.
We are likely to be required to expend significant capital and other resources to ensure ongoing compliance with the GDPR, UK GDPR and other applicable data protection legislation, and we may be required to put in place additional control mechanisms which could be onerous and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
The IRS may not agree that we should be treated as a foreign corporation for U.S. federal tax purposes and may seek to impose an excise tax on gains recognized by certain individuals.
Although we are incorporated in the United Kingdom, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) may assert that we should be treated as a U.S. “domestic” corporation (and, therefore, a U.S. tax resident) for U.S. federal income tax purposes pursuant to Section 7874 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). For U.S. federal income tax purposes, a corporation (i) is generally considered a “domestic” corporation (or U.S. tax resident) if it is organized in the United States or of any state or political subdivision therein, and (ii) is generally considered a “foreign” corporation (or non-U.S. tax resident) if it is not considered a domestic corporation. Because we are a U.K. incorporated entity, we would be considered a foreign corporation (and, therefore, a non-U.S. tax resident) under these rules.
31


Section 7874 of the Code (“Section 7874”) provides an exception under which a foreign incorporated entity may, in certain circumstances, be treated as a domestic corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
We do not believe this exception applies. However, the Section 7874 rules are complex and subject to detailed regulations, the application of which is uncertain in various respects. It is possible that the IRS will not agree with our position. Should the IRS successfully challenge our position, it is also possible that an excise tax under Section 4985 of the Code (the “Section 4985 Excise Tax”) may be assessed against certain “disqualified individuals” (including former officers and directors of FMC Technologies, Inc.) on certain stock-based compensation held thereby. We may, if we determine that it is appropriate, provide disqualified individuals with a payment with respect to the Section 4985 Excise Tax, so that, on a net after-tax basis, they would be in the same position as if no such Section 4985 Excise Tax had been applied.
In addition, there can be no assurance that there will not be a change in law or interpretation, including with retroactive effect, which might cause us to be treated as a domestic corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
U.S. tax laws and/or guidance could affect our ability to engage in certain acquisition strategies and certain internal restructurings.
Even if we are treated as a foreign corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, Section 7874, U.S. Treasury regulations, and other guidance promulgated thereunder may adversely affect our ability to engage in certain future acquisitions of U.S. businesses or to restructure the non-U.S. members of our group. These limitations, if applicable, may affect the tax efficiencies that otherwise might be achieved in such potential future transactions or restructurings.
We are subject to the tax laws of numerous jurisdictions; challenges to the interpretation of, or future changes to, such laws could adversely affect us.
We and our subsidiaries are subject to tax laws and regulations in the United Kingdom, the United States, France, and numerous other jurisdictions in which we and our subsidiaries operate. These laws and regulations are inherently complex, and we are, and will continue to be, obligated to make judgments and interpretations about the application of these laws and regulations to our operations and businesses. The interpretation and application of these laws and regulations could be challenged by the relevant governmental authorities, which could result in administrative or judicial procedures, actions, or sanctions, which could be material.
On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was signed into law in the United States, which made extensive changes to the U.S. taxation of multinational companies, and is subject to continuing regulatory and possible legislative changes. In addition, the U.S. Congress, the U.K. Government, the European Union, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (the “OECD”), and other government agencies in jurisdictions where we and our affiliates do business have an extended focus on issues related to the taxation of multinational corporations. For instance, in October 2021, the OECD released additional proposals under Base Erosion and Profit Shifting that provide for a global minimum tax of 15 percent, so-called “pillar two,” and to date approximately 140 countries have tentatively signed a framework agreeing in principle to this initiative. The implementation of this global minimum tax, however, is contingent upon the independent actions of participating countries and is subject to further negotiation among OECD member states. In this respect, the Council of the European Union unanimously adopted the directive implementing “pillar two” on December 22, 2021 and that the European Union member States had to transpose this Directive into their national laws by December 31, 2023 for the rules to become applicable for fiscal years starting on or after December 31, 2023 (with the exception of the “under taxed payment rule”, which is to be applicable for fiscal years starting on or after December 31, 2024). In July 2023, as part of the Finance (No. 2) Act 2023, legislation was enacted in the United Kingdom which introduced a Pillar Two Income Inclusion Rule applicable to periods after December 31, 2023. We continue to assess and monitor legislative changes.

New tax initiatives, directives, and rules, such as the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the OECD’s Base Erosion and Profit Shifting initiative, and the European Union’s Anti-Tax Avoidance Directives, may increase our tax burden and require additional compliance-related expenditures. As a result, our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows may be adversely affected. Moreover, the U.S. government, and other jurisdictions in which we do business, may enact significant changes to the taxation of business entities including, among others, the imposition of minimum taxes or surtaxes on certain types of income. The likelihood of these changes being enacted or implemented is unclear.
32


Further changes, including with retroactive effect, in the tax laws of the United States (such as the recent United States Inflation Reduction Act which, among other changes, introduced a 15 percent corporate minimum tax on certain United States corporations and a 1 percent excise tax on certain stock redemptions by United States corporations, which the U.S. Treasury indicated may also apply to certain stock redemptions by a foreign corporation funded by certain United States affiliates), the United Kingdom, the European Union, or other countries in which we and our affiliates do business could adversely affect us.

We may not qualify for benefits under tax treaties entered into between the United Kingdom and other countries.
We operate in a manner such that we believe we are eligible for benefits under tax treaties between the United Kingdom and other countries. However, our ability to qualify for such benefits will depend on whether we are treated as a UK tax resident, the requirements contained in each treaty and applicable domestic laws, on the facts and circumstances surrounding our operations and management, and on the relevant interpretation of the tax authorities and courts. For example, because of Brexit, we may lose some or all of the benefits of tax treaties between the United States and the remaining members of the European Union, and face higher tax liabilities, which may be significant. Another example is the Multilateral Convention to Implement Tax Treaty Related Measures to Prevent Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (the “MLI”), which entered into force for participating jurisdictions on July 1, 2018. The MLI recommends that countries adopt a “limitation-on-benefit” (“LOB”) rule and/or a “principal purpose test” (“PPT”) rule with regards to their tax treaties. The application of the LOB rule or the PPT rule could deny us treaty benefits (such as a reduced rate of withholding tax) that were previously available and as such there remains uncertainty as to whether and, if so, to what extent such treaty benefits will continue to be available. The position is likely to remain uncertain for a number of years.
The failure by us or our subsidiaries to qualify for benefits under tax treaties entered into between the United Kingdom and other countries could result in adverse tax consequences to us (including an increased tax burden and increased filing obligations) and could result in certain tax consequences of owning and disposing of our shares.
We intend to be treated exclusively as a resident of the United Kingdom for tax purposes, but French or other tax authorities may seek to treat us as a tax resident of another jurisdiction.
We are incorporated in the United Kingdom. English law currently provides that we will be regarded as a UK resident for tax purposes from incorporation and shall remain so unless (i) we are concurrently a resident in another jurisdiction (applying the tax residence rules of that jurisdiction) that has a double tax treaty with the United Kingdom and (ii) there is a tiebreaker provision in that tax treaty which allocates exclusive residence to that other jurisdiction.
In this regard, we had a permanent establishment in France to satisfy certain French tax requirements imposed by the French Tax Code with respect to the Merger. The assets and liabilities pertaining to this permanent establishment were contributed on December 27, 2022 to one of our French subsidiaries with retroactive effect as of January 1, 2022, in accordance with a tax ruling issued by the French tax authorities, as a result of which this permanent establishment has been deregistered before the close of the 2022 fiscal year. Although it is intended that we will be treated as having our exclusive place of tax residence in the United Kingdom, the French tax authorities may claim, for the period prior to the reorganization, that we were a tax resident of France if we were to have failed to maintain our “place of effective management” in the United Kingdom over that period as a result of the activities of such permanent establishment. Any such claim would be settled between the French and U.K. tax authorities pursuant to the mutual assistance procedure provided for by the tax treaty concluded between France and the United Kingdom. There is no assurance that these authorities would reach an agreement that we will remain exclusively a U.K. tax resident; an adverse determination could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. A failure to maintain exclusive tax residency in the United Kingdom could result in adverse tax consequences to us and our subsidiaries and could result in certain adverse changes in the tax consequences of owning and disposing of our shares.
General Risk Factors
Our businesses are dependent on the continuing services of our key managers and employees.
We depend on key personnel. The loss of any key personnel could adversely impact our business if we are unable to implement key strategies or transactions in their absence. The loss of qualified employees or failure to recruit, retain and motivate additional highly skilled employees required for the operation and expansion of our business could hinder our operation and expansion, as well as our ability to successfully conduct research activities and develop marketable products and services.
33



Seasonal, weather, and other climatic conditions could adversely affect demand for our services and operations.
Our business may be materially affected by variation from normal weather patterns, such as cooler or warmer summers and winters. Adverse weather conditions, such as tropical storms in the Gulf of Mexico or Indo-Pacific or extreme winter conditions in Canada, and the North Sea, may interrupt or curtail our operations, or our customers’ operations, cause supply disruptions or loss of productivity, and may result in a loss of revenue or damage to our equipment and facilities, which may or may not be insured. In addition, acute or chronic physical impacts of climate change, such as sea level rise, coastal storm surge, inland flooding from intense rainfall and hurricane-strength winds may damage our facilities or the facilities of key third parties, or result in operational interruptions. Increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases in the Earth’s atmosphere may produce climate changes that increase variation from normal weather patterns, such as increased frequency and severity of storms, floods, droughts, and other climatic events, as well as longer-term climatic changes, such as shifting temperature and precipitation patterns, which could further impact our operations. Significant physical effects of climate change could also have a direct effect on our operations and an indirect effect on our business by interrupting the operations of those with whom we do business. Any of these events or outcomes could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows, or results of operations.
Currency exchange rate fluctuations could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
We conduct operations around the world in many different currencies. Because significant portions of our revenue and expenses are denominated in currencies other than our reporting currency, the U.S. dollar, changes in exchange rates will produce fluctuations in our revenue, costs, and earnings, and may also affect the book value of our assets and liabilities and related equity. We hedge transaction impacts on margins and earnings where a transaction is not in the functional currency of the business unit, but we do not hedge translation impacts on earnings. Our efforts to minimize our currency exposure through such hedging transactions may not be successful depending on market and business conditions. Moreover, our ability to hedge certain currencies in which we conduct operations, specifically currencies in countries such as Angola, Nigeria, and Argentina, may be limited; therefore, we may be subject to increased foreign currency exposures. As a result, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
We are exposed to risks in connection with our defined benefit pension plan commitments.
We have funded and unfunded defined benefit pension plans, which provide defined benefits based on years of service and salary. We are required to recognize the funded status of defined benefit post-retirement plans as an asset or liability in the consolidated balance sheet and recognize changes in that funded status in comprehensive income in the year in which the changes occur. Further, we are required to measure each plan’s assets and its obligations that determine its funded status as of the date of the consolidated balance sheet. Each defined benefit pension plan’s assets are invested in different asset classes and their value may fluctuate in accordance with market conditions. Any deterioration in the value of the defined benefit pension plan assets could therefore increase our obligations. Any such increases in our net pension obligations could adversely affect our financial condition due to increased additional outflow of funds to finance the pension obligations.
In addition, applicable law and/or the terms of the relevant defined benefit pension plan may require us to make cash contributions or provide financial support upon the occurrence of certain events. We cannot predict whether, or to what extent, changing market or economic conditions, regulatory changes or other factors will further increase our pension expense or funding obligations. For further information regarding our pension liabilities, see Note 22 for further information.
We may be unable to obtain sufficient bonding capacity for certain contracts, and the need for performance and surety bonds could reduce availability under our credit facility.
In line with industry practice, we are often required to post standby letters of credit to customers or enter into surety bond arrangements in favor of customers. Those letters of credit and surety bond arrangements generally protect customers against our failure to perform our obligations under the applicable contracts. If we are unable to renew or obtain a sufficient level of bonding capacity in the future, we may be precluded from bidding for certain contracts or contracting with certain customers. Additionally, even if we are able to successfully renew or obtain performance or payment bonds, we may be required to post letters of credit in connection with the bonds. The letters of credit would reduce availability under our credit facility.
34


Furthermore, under standard terms in the surety market, sureties issue bonds on a project-by-project basis and can decline to issue bonds at any time or require the posting of additional collateral as a condition to issuing or renewing any bonds. If we were to experience an interruption or reduction in the availability of bonding capacity as a result of these or any other reasons, we may be unable to compete for or work on projects that require bonding.
ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS
None.
ITEM 1C. CYBERSECURITY
Cybersecurity Risk Management and Strategy
We have developed and implemented a cybersecurity risk management program intended to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our critical systems and information.
We design and assess our information security program with reference to the ISO27001:2022 standard. For interoperability, our controls leverage the National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework (NIST CSF). This does not imply that we meet any particular technical standards, specifications, or requirements, only that we use ISO27001:2022 and NIST CSF as guides to help us identify, assess, and manage cybersecurity risks relevant to our business.
Our cybersecurity risk management program is integrated into our overall enterprise risk management program, and shares common methodologies, reporting channels and governance processes that apply across the enterprise risk management program to other legal, compliance, strategic, operational, and financial risk areas.
Key elements of our cybersecurity risk management program include but are not limited to the following:
•risk assessments designed to help identify material cybersecurity risks to our critical systems, information, and services;
•a security team principally responsible for managing (1) our cybersecurity risk assessment processes, (2) our security controls, and (3) our response to cybersecurity incidents;
•the use of external service providers, where appropriate, to assess, test or otherwise assist with aspects of our security controls;
•cybersecurity awareness training of our employees, incident response personnel, and senior management;
•a cybersecurity incident response plan that includes procedures for responding to cybersecurity incidents; and
•a third-party risk management process for service providers, suppliers, and vendors.
We face continuing and ongoing material risks from cybersecurity threats, which the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission defines as any potential unauthorized occurrence on or conducted through our information systems that may result in adverse effects on the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of our information systems or any information residing therein. See "Risk Factors—A failure or breach of our IT infrastructure or that of our subcontractors, suppliers or joint venture partners, including as a result of cyber-attacks, could adversely impact our business and results of operations." Otherwise, however, we have not identified risks from known cybersecurity threats, including as a result of any prior cybersecurity incidents, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect us, including our operations, business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition.
Cybersecurity Governance
Our Board considers cybersecurity risk as part of its risk oversight function and has delegated to the Audit Committee oversight of cybersecurity and other information technology risks.
The Audit Committee reviews and considers our risks relating to cybersecurity and receives and reviews from our Information Security Steering Committee (“ISSC”) regular reports on our cyber readiness, adversary assessment, risk profile status, and any countermeasures undertaken or considered by us. Our ISSC also updates the Audit Committee, as necessary, regarding any material cybersecurity incidents, as well as any incidents with lesser impact potential.
The Board receives regular updates from the Audit Committee on cybersecurity risks, often with the participation of the Chief Information Security Officer (“CISO”) to report on our information security activities. The full Board also receives briefings from management on our cyber risk management program. Board members receive presentations on cybersecurity topics from our CISO or external experts as part of the Board’s continuing education on topics that impact public companies.
35


Our ISSC, including the Chief Technology Officer, Chief Legal Officer, Chief Information Officer and CISO, is responsible for assessing and managing our material risks from cybersecurity threats. The ISSC receives monthly reports and updates from the CISO on our cybersecurity risks and cybersecurity incidents. The team has primary responsibility for our overall cybersecurity risk management program and supervises both our internal cybersecurity personnel and our retained external cybersecurity consultants. Our ISSC includes team members who have previously completed ISO27001 certification for international companies as well as individuals with professional cybersecurity relevant certifications such as CISSP and CCISO.
Our ISSC assists our management team to stay informed about and monitor efforts to prevent, detect, mitigate, and remediate cybersecurity risks and incidents through various means, which may include briefings from internal security personnel, threat intelligence and other information obtained from governmental, public or private sources, including external consultants engaged by us, and alerts and reports produced by security tools deployed in the IT environment.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

Several new energy initiatives progressed with the award of multiple commercial contracts for surface wellheads and tree systems for onshore CO2 injection in the Middle East, Netherlands, and Australia. In addition, we delivered a hydrogen wellhead for HyPSTER and completed and commissioned our Deep Purple Pilot™ project in Norway, which is our solution for Long Duration Energy Storage (LDES) using hydrogen as the energy carrier to help meet the growing demand for power.

We finished the year having delivered on many notable achievements. Importantly, these results reflect major milestones on our more ambitious journey ahead. We enter 2024 with a strong market outlook and a further step-up in our targeted financial performance.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK
Overall Outlook – The global economy remains resilient as we enter the new year despite multiple headwinds, including aggressive monetary tightening undertaken to curb high inflation. Interest rates remain elevated, but inflation has eased and central banks are poised to shift to more accommodative policies in an effort to maintain stable economic growth. These actions are anticipated to support continued growth in energy demand in 2024.
With long-term energy demand also forecast to increase, the conflicts in Ukraine and Israel have further highlighted the need for greater energy security across the globe. As a result, the energy industry has accelerated its efforts to address the essential need for hydrocarbons today to ensure the continuity of affordable energy while also playing an essential role in the energy transition.
The price of oil has been supported by regional geopolitical tensions and the industry’s more disciplined capital spend, particularly for OPEC+ countries focused on production levels that support both economic growth and energy investment. This includes Aramco’s recent decision to forego an expansion in its productive capacity above the current level of 12 million barrels per day (MMBD). An extended period of underinvestment also contributed to a supply deficit that has required increased upstream spending, lending support to a constructive view on the longer-term outlook for oil and natural gas prices.

41


We see continued strength ahead, driven by the resiliency and durability of the current market. The demand for energy will continue to grow. However, we believe the market’s evolution will differ from the past, driven by three major trends. First, a shift in capital flows, which we believe will largely be directed to the offshore and Middle East markets. Second, an increased role for new technologies to drive further innovation and market expansion, particularly in the offshore market. And third, an expanded role for subsea services, driven by the needs of growing and aging infrastructure. These trends allow TechnipFMC to leverage our full suite of integrated solutions, differentiated technologies, and the industry’s most comprehensive subsea services offering.
While we are confident that conventional resources will remain a large part of the energy mix for an extended period, we are also committed to the energy transition. Here, we believe that offshore will play a meaningful role in the transition to renewable energy resources and reduction of carbon emissions. We are making real progress through our three main pillars of greenhouse gas removal, offshore floating renewables and hydrogen solutions. We have also been successful in building on our partnerships and alliances to further position ourselves as the leading architect for offshore energy.
Our most recent success was driven by our leadership in subsea processing, technology innovation, and integrated solutions with the award of the Mero 3 HISEP® project, which is the first iEPCI contract ever awarded by Petrobras. The significance of this project for the subsea industry cannot be overstated, as this will be the first to use subsea processing to capture CO2 rich dense gases directly from the well stream for injection back into the reservoir. This also allows all of the work scope to take place on the seafloor. In addition to reducing greenhouse gas emission intensity, HISEP® technologies will increase production capacity by debottlenecking the gas processing plant that currently resides on the floating production storage and offloading unit (“FPSO”). By moving the gas processing entirely to the seafloor, future FPSO and topside designs can be further simplified, driving significant improvement in project economics.
With the award of the Mero 3 HISEP® contract in January 2024, our New Energy business has now achieved more than $1 billion of inbound orders – nearly two years earlier than previously anticipated. We continue to further refine our positioning and mature our offering, particularly in carbon transportation and storage, an area we believe could drive further near-term orders.
Subsea – Innovative approaches to subsea projects, like our iEPCI solution, have improved project economics through more efficient design and installation of the entire subsea field architecture. Our integrated commercial model, iEPCI, brought together the complementary work scopes of the subsea production system (“SPS”) with the subsea umbilicals, risers, and flowlines (“SURF”) and installation vessels. iEPCI created a new market and helped expand the deepwater opportunity set for our clients and has grown to represent nearly one-third of the addressable subsea market.
As the subsea industry continues to evolve, we are driving simplification, standardization, and industrialization to reduce cycle times and further reduce costs. An example of this is Subsea 2.0, our pre-engineered configurable product offering. This technology provides simplification of unique project requirements by leveraging a configure-to-order (CTO) model that further improves the economics of our customer’s projects while driving greater efficiencies for TechnipFMC.
With CTO, we have designed an environment, process, culture, and tools which are scalable and, more importantly, are transformational to the future of our company. CTO has allowed us to redefine our sourcing strategy and transform our manufacturing flow, resulting in up to 25 percent lower product cost and a shortened 12-month delivery time for subsea production equipment – savings that are both real and sustainable. This has paved the way for other products to adopt a similar operating model, enabling an enterprise-wide way of working.
Given the significant improvement in project economics, many offshore discoveries can be developed economically well below today’s oil prices. We believe these changes are fundamental and sustainable as a result of new business models and technology pioneered by our company.
There is also exploration activity occurring in new offshore frontiers. In Suriname, five major discoveries have been made through the successful appraisal of two oilfields, with confirmed combined recoverable resources of approximately 700 million barrels of oil. In Namibia, there has also been a major discovery with multiple operators beginning their drilling campaigns. We believe additional countries will become producers of deepwater resources during this decade.
42


Offshore development is likely to remain a significant part of many of our customers’ portfolios. We estimate over 35 MMBD of new oil production will be required by 2040 to meet future energy demand, including approximately 10 MMBD of new deepwater production.
Our Subsea inbound orders grew to $9.7 billion in 2023, an increase of 45 percent versus the prior year. The robust inbound benefited from a record level of iEPCI projects, and when including all other direct awards and Subsea Services, the combination represented more than 70 percent of total segment orders. This growth in orders also drove a 50% increase in Subsea backlog to over $12.2 billion, with high quality inbound supportive of further improvement in our financial returns.
Surface Technologies – Inbound orders of $1.2 billion in 2023 were primarily supported by international markets. We continue to benefit from our exposure to the North Sea, Asia Pacific and the Middle East. International markets represented a significant portion of total segment revenue in 2023, totaling 59 percent. TechnipFMC’s unique capabilities in these markets, which demand higher specification equipment, global services, and local content, provide a platform for us to extend our leadership positions.
Drilling activity in international markets is less cyclical than North America as most activities are undertaken by national oil companies which tend to maintain a longer-term view that exhibits less variability in capital spend. We experienced a continued ramp up in production at our Saudi Arabia facility, as well as successful execution on our 10-year framework agreement with Abu Dhabi National Oil Company.
The shift to renewable energy resources will take time. During this transition, we believe that natural gas will provide a bridge between current conventional energy supply and future renewable energy supply. The transition is expected to drive growth in the surface market, led by large natural gas projects in the Middle East. We also expect North America to play an important role in meeting increased natural gas demand due in part to sanctions placed upon Russian supply.

Results of Operations in 2023 Compared to 2022
Revenue
Revenue increased $1,123.8 million in 2023, compared to the same period in 2022. Subsea revenue increased $973.6 million, driven by a 24.5% higher backlog as of December 31, 2022, when compared to December 31, 2021, and included increased revenue year-over-year from flexible pipe and subsea production equipment combined with higher installation activities. Surface Technologies revenue increased $150.2 million, year-over-year, as a result of increased operator activity across the world, primarily from the Middle East.
44


Gross Profit
Gross profit (revenue less cost of sales) increased to $1,274.1 million in 2023 compared to $896.3 million in 2022. Subsea gross profit increased year-over-year by $324.5 million, of which $123.4 million was due to volume increase and $201.1 million due to a favorable activity mix. Surface Technologies gross profit increased year-over-year by $51.3 million, of which $18.3 million was driven by North America’s improved operational performance, $25.6 million due to higher activity in the Middle East and $7.6 million from improved performance in the rest of the world.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense
Selling, general and administrative expense increased by $59.1 million year-over-year, as a result of increased activity in both segments.
Other Income (Expense), Net
Other income (expense), net includes gains and losses associated with the remeasurement of net cash positions, gains and losses on sales of property, plant and equipment and non-operating gains and losses. The change from Other income, net of $5.4 million in 2022 to Other expense, net of $248.3 million in 2023 was mainly due to a $126.5 million non-recurring legal settlement charges (see Note 20) and a net foreign exchange loss of $119.0 million in 2023. The net foreign exchange loss was primarily a result of exposure to certain currencies with limited derivative hedging markets such as the Argentine peso and Angolan kwanza. Additional losses resulted from balance sheet remeasurements and cost of carry.
Income from Equity Affiliates
For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, we recorded income of $34.4 million and $44.6 million, respectively, from equity method affiliates. Income generated by our equity method investments during 2023 decreased year-over-year, driven by a decrease in operational activity of our joint ventures. See Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements for further details.
Income (Loss) from Investment in Technip Energies
For the year ended December 31, 2022 we recorded a loss of $27.7 million as a result of our investment in Technip Energies. The amounts recognized represented the fair value revaluation gains (losses) of our investment. See Note 12 to our consolidated financial statements for further details.
Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt
We recognized a $29.8 million loss on early extinguishment of debt for the year ended December 31, 2022, which related to premium paid and write-off of debt issuance costs in connection with the repurchase of the 2021 Notes and the repayment of our 3.45% Senior Notes due 2022. See Note 16 to our consolidated financial statements for further details.
Net Interest Expense
Net interest expense decreased by $32.2 million in 2023, compared to 2022, largely due to the reduction in outstanding debt and higher interest income.
Provision for Income Taxes
Our provision for income taxes for 2023 and 2022 reflected effective tax rates of 74.9% and 153.1%, respectively. The year-over-year decrease in the effective tax rate was largely due to the change in geographical profit mix year over year, tax adjustments related to the reassessment of prior year tax accruals and changes of valuation allowances on some of our deferred tax assets.

Our effective tax rate can fluctuate depending on our country mix of earnings, since our foreign earnings are generally subject to higher tax rates than in the United Kingdom.
Discontinued Operations
Loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, was $45.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. See Note 25 to our consolidated financial statements for further details.

Subsea revenue increased $973.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, driven by an increase in backlog during 2022, related to higher energy demand and upstream spending, further aided by our unique commercial offerings. $630.0 million of the increase in revenue came from Brazil, $257.1 million from United States and $229.9 million from Norway, due to increased supply of flexible pipe, subsea production equipment combined with higher installation activities across these geographies. The increase in revenue in Brazil, the United States and Norway was offset by a net $143.4 million decrease from the rest of the world primarily from lower activity as projects reached completion.

Subsea operating profit for the year ended December 31, 2023, increased by $226.0 million, of which $123.4 million came from volume, combined with $201.1 million due to a favorable activity mix, partially offset by a $98.5 million increase in operating expense.

Surface Technologies revenue increased $150.2 million, during the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, $76.0 million in the Middle East, $22.1 million in North America, $31.8 million in Europe and Central Asia, and $20.3 million in the rest of the world. The increase in the Middle East resulted from recent project awards in support of longer term customer production targets in the region driving increased supply of drilling and completions products. The increased revenue in North America was driven by improved commercial conditions supporting higher drilling and completions activity. The increase in Europe, Central Asia and the rest of the world is the result of increased operator activity on projects in these geographies.
Surface Technologies operating profit increased by $56.3 million. $21.3 million of the increase was due to improved operational performance in North America, $27.4 million was the result of higher activity in the Middle East and North Sea, and $7.6 million from improved operational performance in the rest of the world.

The remaining backlog was composed of various projects in the rest of the world.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Most of our cash is managed centrally and flows through bank accounts controlled and maintained by TechnipFMC globally in various jurisdictions to best meet the liquidity needs of our global operations.
Net Debt — Net debt is a non-GAAP financial measure reflecting cash and cash equivalents, net of debt. Management uses this non-GAAP financial measure to evaluate our capital structure and financial leverage. We believe net debt is a meaningful financial measure that may assist investors in understanding our financial condition and recognizing underlying trends in our capital structure. Net debt should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, cash and cash equivalents as determined in accordance with GAAP or as an indicator of our operating performance or liquidity.

Cash Flows
Cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 were as follows:
  Year Ended December 31,
(In millions) 2023 2022 2021
Cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations $ 693.0  $ 352.1  $ 715.0 
Cash provided (required) by investing activities from continuing operations (125.6) 162.2  821.8 
Cash required by financing activities from continuing operations (656.5) (796.7) (1,447.3)

Free cash flow from continuing operations $ 467.8  $ 194.2  $ 523.3 
Operating cash flows from continuing operations — During 2023 and 2022, we generated $693.0 million and $352.1 million, respectively, in operating cash flows from continuing operations. The increase of $340.9 million in cash generated by operating activities from continuing operations in 2023, as compared to 2022, was due to timing differences on project milestones, payments to vendors for inventory, fluctuations in derivative assets and liabilities and timing of income tax payments.
Investing cash flows from continuing operations — We used $125.6 million of cash in investing activities from continuing operations during 2023 as compared to $162.2 million cash generated in investing cash flows from continuing operations during 2022. The decrease of $287.8 million in cash from investing activities was primarily due to the absence of $288.5 million proceeds received from sales of our investment in Technip Energies during 2022 and an increase in capital expenditures of $67.3 million. This cash use was partially offset by an increase in proceeds from sales of assets of $54.5 million during 2023 primarily related to the sale of the Apache II pipelay vessel and other investing activities.
Financing cash flows from continuing operations — Financing activities from continuing operations used $656.5 million and $796.7 million in 2023 and 2022, respectively. The decrease of $140.2 million in cash used for financing activities was mainly due to the decreased debt pay down and issuance activity of $249.6 million during 2023, partially offset by $104.9 million of increase of share repurchases during 2023.
The change in working capital represents total changes in current assets and liabilities.
48


Free cash flow from continuing operations is defined as operating cash flows from continuing operations less capital expenditures. Management uses this non-GAAP financial measure to evaluate our financial condition. We believe free cash flow from continuing operations is a meaningful financial measure that may assist investors in understanding our financial condition and results of operations. The following table reconciles cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations, which is the most directly comparable financial measure determined in accordance with GAAP, to free cash flow (non-GAAP measure).
Year Ended December 31,
(In millions) 2023 2022 2021
Cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations $ 693.0  $ 352.1  $ 715.0 
Capital expenditures (225.2) (157.9) (191.7)
Free cash flow from continuing operations $ 467.8  $ 194.2  $ 523.3 

Debt and Liquidity
We are committed to maintaining a capital structure that provides sufficient cash resources to support future operating and investment plans. We maintain a level of liquidity sufficient to allow us to meet our cash needs in both the short term and long term. During 2023, we reduced our total debt position primarily through the full repayment of $270.2 million of our 3.15% 2013 Private Placement Notes.
Availability of borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility is reduced by the outstanding letters of credit issued against the facility. As of December 31, 2023 there were $54.2 million letters of credit outstanding and availability of borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility was $1,195.8 million.
As of December 31, 2023 TechnipFMC was in compliance with all debt covenants. See Note 16 to our consolidated financial statements for further detail.
Credit Ratings - Our credit ratings with Standard and Poor’s (“S&P”) are BB+ for our long-term unsecured, guaranteed debt (2021 Notes) and BB for our long-term unsecured debt (the Private Placement Notes). Our credit rating with Moody’s is Ba1 for our long-term unsecured, guaranteed debt. See Note 16 for further details regarding our debt.
Credit Risk Analysis
For the purposes of mitigating the effect of the changes in exchange rates, we hold derivative financial instruments. Valuations of derivative assets and liabilities reflect the fair value of the instruments, including the values associated with counterparty risk. These values must also take into account our credit standing, thus including the valuation of the derivative instrument and the value of the net credit differential between the counterparties to the derivative contract. Adjustments to our derivative assets and liabilities related to credit risk were not material for any period presented.
The income approach was used as the valuation technique to measure the fair value of foreign currency derivative instruments on a recurring basis. This approach calculates the present value of the future cash flow by measuring the change from the derivative contract rate and the published market indicative currency rate, multiplied by the contract notional values. Credit risk is then incorporated by reducing the derivative’s fair value in asset positions by the result of multiplying the present value of the portfolio by the counterparty’s published credit spread. Portfolios in a liability position are adjusted by the same calculation; however, a spread representing our credit spread is used.
Our credit spread, and the credit spread of other counterparties not publicly available, are approximated using the spread of similar companies in the same industry, of similar size, and with the same credit rating. See Notes 23 and 24 to our consolidated financial statements for further details.
At this time, we have no credit-risk-related contingent features in our agreements with the financial institutions that would require us to post collateral for derivative positions in a liability position.
Contractual and Other Obligations
The Company’s principal contractual commitments include purchase obligations, repayments of long-term debt and related interest, and payments under operating leases. As of December 31, 2023, we had $1.6 billion of purchase obligations, more than 93 percent of which is short-term. Substantially all of these commitments are associated with purchases made to fulfill our customer’s orders, the costs associated with these agreements will ultimately be reflected in cost of sales in our consolidated statements of income.

Refer to respective notes to the consolidated financial statements for further information about our share repurchase program (Note 18), long-term debt obligations (Note 16), guarantees (Notes 12 and 20) and lease payment obligations (Note 4).
Financial Position Outlook
We are committed to a strong balance sheet. We continue to maintain sufficient liquidity to support the needs of the business through growth, cyclicality and unforeseen events. We continue to maintain and drive sustainable leverage to preserve access to capital throughout the cycle. Our capital expenditures can be adjusted and managed to match market demand and activity levels. Projected capital expenditures do not include any contingent capital that may be needed to respond to contract awards. In maintaining our commitment to sustainable leverage and liquidity, we expect to be able to continue to generate cash flow available for investment in growth and distribution to shareholders through the business cycle.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions about future events that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented and the related disclosures in the accompanying notes to the financial statements. Management has reviewed these critical accounting estimates with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors. We believe the following critical accounting estimates used in preparing our financial statements address all important accounting areas where the nature of the estimates or assumptions is material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or the susceptibility of such matters to change. See Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements for further details.
Revenue Recognition
The majority of our revenue is derived from long-term contracts that can span several years. We account for revenue in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenues from Contracts with Customers. The unit of account in ASC Topic 606 is a performance obligation. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. Our performance obligations are satisfied over time as work progresses or at a point in time.
A significant portion of our total revenue recognized over time relates to our Subsea segment, for the subsea exploration and production equipment projects that involve the design, engineering, manufacturing, construction, and assembly of complex systems. Because of control transferring over time, revenue is recognized based on the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation. The selection of the method to measure progress towards completion requires judgment and is based on the nature of the products or services to be provided. We generally use the cost-to-cost measure of progress for our contracts because it best depicts the transfer of control to the customer that occurs as we incur costs on our contracts. Under the cost-to-cost measure of progress, the extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation. Revenues are recorded proportionally as costs are incurred.
Due to the nature of the work required to be performed on many of our performance obligations, the estimation of total revenue and cost at completion is complex, subject to many variables, and requires significant judgment. It is common for our long-term contracts to contain award fees, incentive fees, or other provisions that can either increase or decrease the transaction price. We include estimated amounts in the transaction price when we believe we have an enforceable right to the modification, the amount can be estimated reliably, and its realization is probable. The estimated amounts are included in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved.
50


We execute contracts with our customers that clearly describe the equipment, systems, and/or services. After analyzing the drawings and specifications of the contract requirements, our project engineers estimate total contract costs based on their experience with similar projects and then adjust these estimates for specific risks associated with each project, such as technical risks associated with a new design. Costs associated with specific risks are estimated by assessing the probability that conditions arising from these specific risks will affect our total cost to complete the project. After work on a project begins, assumptions that form the basis for our calculation of total project cost are examined on a regular basis and our estimates are updated to reflect the most current information and management’s best judgment.
Adjustments to estimates of contract revenue, total contract cost, or extent of progress toward completion are often required as work progresses under the contract and as experience is gained, even though the scope of work required under the contract may not change. The nature of accounting for long-term contracts is such that refinements of the estimating process for changing conditions and new developments are continuous and characteristic of the process. Consequently, the amount of revenue recognized over time is sensitive to changes in our estimates of total contract costs. There are many factors, including, but not limited to, the ability to properly execute the engineering and design phases consistent with our customers’ expectations, the availability and costs of labor and material resources, productivity, and weather, all of which can affect the accuracy of our cost estimates, and ultimately, our future profitability.
Our gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2023 was negatively impacted on a net basis by approximately $92.3 million, as a result of aggregate changes in contract estimates related to projects that were in progress as of December 31, 2022 with $91.0 million and $1.3 million in our Subsea and Surface Technologies segments, respectively. Certain projects that were significantly impacted negatively by changes to estimated project costs during this period totaled $106.1 million. These were offset partially by projects with material positive impacts from favorable negotiations of variable considerations of $39.1 million. The remaining other changes resulted in a net negative impact of $25.3 million.
Accounting for Income Taxes
Our income tax expense, deferred tax assets and liabilities, and reserves for uncertain tax positions reflect management’s best assessment of estimated future taxes to be paid. We are subject to income taxes in the United Kingdom and numerous foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgments and estimates are required in determining our consolidated income tax expense.
In determining our current income tax provision, we assess temporary differences resulting from differing treatments of items for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are recorded in our consolidated balance sheets. When we maintain deferred tax assets, we must assess the likelihood that these assets will be recovered through adjustments to future taxable income. To the extent we believe recovery is not likely, we establish a valuation allowance. We record a valuation allowance to reduce the asset to a value we believe will be recoverable based on our expectation of future taxable income. We believe the accounting estimate related to the valuation allowance is a critical accounting estimate because it is highly susceptible to change from period to period, requires management to make assumptions about our future income over the lives of the deferred tax assets, and finally, the impact of increasing or decreasing the valuation allowance is potentially material to our results of operations.
Forecasting future income requires us to use a significant amount of judgment. In estimating future income, we use our internal operating budgets and long-range planning projections. We develop our budgets and long-range projections based on recent results, trends, economic and industry forecasts influencing our segments’ performance, our backlog, planned timing of new product launches and customer sales commitments. Significant changes in our judgment related to the expected realizability of a deferred tax asset results in an adjustment to the associated valuation allowance.
As of December 31, 2023, we have provided a valuation allowance against the related deferred tax assets where we believe it is not more likely than not that we will generate future taxable income sufficient to realize such assets.
The calculation of our income tax expense involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws and regulations in numerous jurisdictions in which we operate. We recognize tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions when, in our judgment, it is more likely than not that such positions will be sustained on examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation, based on the technical merits. We adjust our liabilities for uncertain tax positions when our judgment changes as a result of new information previously unavailable. Due to the complexity of some of these uncertainties, their ultimate resolution may result in payments that are materially different from our current estimates.
51


Any such differences will be reflected as adjustments to income tax expense in the periods in which they are determined.
Accounting for Pension and Other Post-retirement Benefit Plans
The determination of the projected benefit obligations of our pension and other post-retirement benefit plans are important to the recorded amounts of such obligations in our consolidated balance sheets and to the amount of pension expense in our consolidated statements of income. In order to measure the obligations and expense associated with our pension benefits, management must make a variety of estimates, including discount rates used to value certain liabilities, expected return on plan assets set aside to fund these costs, rate of compensation increase, employee turnover rates, retirement rates, mortality rates and other factors. We update these estimates on an annual basis or more frequently upon the occurrence of significant events. These accounting estimates bear the risk of change due to the uncertainty and difficulty in estimating these measures. Different estimates used by management could result in our recognition of different amounts of expense over different periods of time.
Due to the specialized and statistical nature of these calculations which attempt to anticipate future events, we engage third-party specialists to assist management in evaluating our assumptions as well as appropriately measuring the costs and obligations associated with these pension benefits. The discount rate and expected long-term rate of return on plan assets are based on investment yields available and the historical performance of our plan assets, respectively. The timing and amount of cash outflows related to the bonds included in the indices matches estimated defined benefits payments. These measures are critical accounting estimates because they are subject to management’s judgment and can materially affect net income.
The actuarial assumptions and estimates made by management in determining our pension benefit obligations may materially differ from actual results as a result of changing market and economic conditions and changes in plan participant assumptions. While we believe the assumptions and estimates used are appropriate, differences in actual experience or changes in plan participant assumptions may materially affect our financial position or results of operations.
The following table illustrates the sensitivity of changes in the discount rate and expected long-term return on plan assets on pension expense and the projected benefit obligation:
(In millions, except basis points) Increase (Decrease) in 2023 Pension Expense Before Income Taxes Increase (Decrease) in Projected Benefit Obligation as of December 31, 2023
25 basis point decrease in discount rate $ 1.4  $ 25.9 
25 basis point increase in discount rate $ (1.3) $ (24.7)
25 basis point decrease in expected long-term rate of return on plan assets $ 1.9  N/A
25 basis point increase in expected long-term rate of return on plan assets $ (1.9) N/A

Impairment of Long-Lived and Intangible Assets
Long-lived assets, including vessels, property, plant and equipment, identifiable intangible assets being amortized, and capitalized software costs are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the long-lived asset may not be recoverable. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. If it is determined that an impairment loss has occurred, the loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the long-lived asset exceeds its fair value. The determination of future cash flows as well as the estimated fair value of long-lived assets involves significant estimates on the part of management. Because there usually is a lack of quoted market prices for long-lived assets, fair value of impaired assets is typically determined based on the present values of expected future cash flows using discount rates believed to be consistent with those used by principal market participants or based on a multiple of operating cash flows validated with historical market transactions of similar assets where possible. The expected future cash flows used for impairment reviews and related fair value calculations are based on judgmental assessments of revenue, forecasted utilization, operating costs and capital decisions and all available information at the date of review. If future market conditions deteriorate beyond our current expectations and assumptions, impairments of long-lived assets may be identified if we conclude that the carrying amounts are no longer recoverable.

OTHER MATTERS
On June 25, 2019, we announced a global resolution to pay a total of $301.3 million to the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”), the SEC, and Brazilian authorities (Federal Prosecution Service (“MPF”), the Comptroller General of Brazil (“CGU”) and the Attorney General of Brazil (“AGU”)) to resolve these anti-corruption investigations related to historic conduct by Technip S.A. in Brazil and historic conduct by FMC Technologies concerning services provided by a vendor, Unaoil S.A.M. We were not required to have a monitor and instead, provided reports on our anti-corruption program to the Brazilian and U.S. authorities for two and three years, respectively.
As part of this resolution, we entered into a three-year Deferred Prosecution Agreement (“DPA”) with the DOJ related to charges of conspiracy to violate the FCPA related to conduct in Brazil and with Unaoil. In addition, Technip USA, Inc., a U.S. subsidiary, pled guilty to one count of conspiracy to violate the FCPA related to conduct in Brazil. We also consented to the entry of an Administrative Order issued by the SEC related to Unaoil.
In Brazil, on June 25, 2019, our subsidiaries Technip Brasil - Engenharia, Instalações E Apoio Marítimo Ltda. and Flexibrás Tubos Flexíveis Ltda. entered into leniency agreements with both the MPF and the CGU/AGU. We made, as part of those agreements, certain enhancements to the compliance programs in Brazil during the two-year self-reporting period, which aligned with our commitment to cooperation and transparency with the compliance community in Brazil and globally.
On December 8, 2022, the Company received notice of the official release from all obligations and charges by CGU, having successfully completed all of the self-reporting requirements in the leniency agreements and the case was closed. On December 27, 2022, the DOJ filed a Motion to Dismiss the charges against TechnipFMC related to conspiracy to violate the FCPA, noting to the Court that the Company had fully met and completed all of its obligations under the DPA. The Dismissal Order was signed by the Court on January 4, 2023, thereby closing the case. All obligations to regulatory authorities related to the enforcement matters in the United States and Brazil have been completed and the Company has been unconditionally released by both jurisdictions.
As previously disclosed, we have also resolved an investigation by French authorities (the Parquet National Financier (“PNF”)). On June 22, 2023, the Company, through its subsidiary Technip UK Limited, along with Technip Energies SAS, a subsidiary of Technip Energies NV, reached a resolution with the PNF of all outstanding matters, including its investigations into historical projects in Equatorial Guinea, Ghana, and Angola. The resolution took the form of a convention judiciaire d'interet public, (“CJIP”), which does not involve any admission of liability or guilt.

Under the terms of the CJIP, Technip UK and Technip Energies France will pay a public interest fine of €154.8 million and €54.1 million, respectively, for a total of €208.9 million. Under the companies’ separation agreements, TechnipFMC is responsible for €179.45 million to be paid in installments through July 2024, and Technip Energies is responsible for the remaining €29.45 million. During the three-months ended June 30, 2023, we recorded a $126.5 million liability incremental to our existing provision. After making a scheduled installment payment of €24.7 million on July 13, 2023, we have an outstanding balance of €154.8 million that is translated to $171.1 million and is recorded in other current liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023.
TechnipFMC fully cooperated with the PNF and was not required to retain a monitor. The CJIP received final approval by the President of the Tribunal Judiciaire of Paris at a hearing on June 28, 2023.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements for further details.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are subject to financial market risks, including fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. In order to manage and mitigate our exposure to these risks, we may use derivative financial instruments in accordance with established policies and procedures. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, substantially all of our derivative holdings consisted of foreign currency forward contracts and foreign currency instruments embedded in purchase and sale contracts.
53


These disclosures only address potential impacts from market risks as they affect our financial instruments and do not include other potential effects that could impact our business as a result of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, commodity prices or equity prices.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
We conduct operations around the world in a number of different currencies. Many of our significant foreign subsidiaries have designated the local currency as their functional currency. Our earnings are, therefore, subject to change due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates when the earnings in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars. We do not hedge this translation impact on earnings. A 10% increase or decrease in the average exchange rates of all foreign currencies over 2023 would have changed our revenue and income before income taxes attributable to TechnipFMC by approximately $381.8 million and $21.4 million, respectively.
We apply highly inflationary accounting to the results of operations of our subsidiaries in Argentina as the cumulative inflation rate in these economies for a three-year period meets or exceeds 100%, in accordance with U.S. GAAP. As a result, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in local currencies are remeasured to the U.S. Dollar at each balance sheet date, with remeasurement gains and losses recognized in consolidated statements of income.

The Central Bank of Argentina has maintained certain currency controls that limited our ability to access U.S. dollars in Argentina and to remit cash from our Argentine operations. The new president of Argentina was inaugurated on December 10, 2023, and proposed certain significant economic changes that had a significant impact on the foreign currency-related effects of business transactions in Argentina. Due to the Argentine Peso devaluation, primarily following the Presidential Inauguration, we recognized a foreign exchange loss of $14.5 million during the fourth quarter of 2023 and approximately $23.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. We have taken various actions to address the situation to reduce our foreign exchange exposure.

When transactions are denominated in currencies other than our subsidiaries’ respective functional currencies, we manage these exposures through the use of derivative instruments. We use foreign currency forward contracts to hedge the foreign currency fluctuation associated with firmly committed and forecasted foreign currency denominated payments and receipts. The derivative instruments associated with these anticipated transactions are usually designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, and as such the gains and losses associated with these instruments are recorded in other comprehensive income until such time that the underlying transactions are recognized. Unless these cash flow contracts are deemed to be ineffective or are not designated as cash flow hedges at inception, changes in the derivative fair value will not have an immediate impact on our results of operations since the gains and losses associated with these instruments are recorded in other comprehensive income. When the anticipated transactions occur, these changes in value of derivative instrument positions will be offset against changes in the value of the underlying transaction. When an anticipated transaction in a currency other than the functional currency of an entity is recognized as an asset or liability on the balance sheet, we also hedge the foreign currency fluctuation of these assets and liabilities with derivative instruments after netting our exposures worldwide. These derivative instruments do not qualify as cash flow hedges.
For our foreign currency forward contracts hedging anticipated transactions that are accounted for as cash flow hedges, a 10% increase in the value of the U.S. dollar would have resulted in an additional loss of approximately $115.3 million in the net fair value of cash flow hedges reflected in our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023.
Interest Rate Risk
We assess effectiveness of forward foreign currency contracts designated as cash flow hedges based on changes in fair value attributable to changes in spot rates. We exclude the impact attributable to changes in the difference between the spot rate and the forward rate for the assessment of hedge effectiveness and recognize the change in fair value of this component immediately in earnings. To the extent any one interest rate increases by 10% across all tenors and other countries’ interest rates remain fixed, and assuming no change in discount rates, we would expect to recognize a decrease of $3.8 million in unrealized earnings from foreign currency contracts designated as cash flow hedges in the period of change. Based on our portfolio as of December 31, 2023, we have material positions with exposure to interest rates in the United States, Brazil, the United Kingdom, Singapore, and Norway.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of TechnipFMC plc
Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of TechnipFMC plc and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related consolidated statements of income, of comprehensive income, of changes in stockholders’ equity and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, including the related notes and financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(2) (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.
Basis for Opinions
The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
55



Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Revenue Recognition - Determination of Estimated Costs to Complete for Long-Term Contracts
As described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, approximately 64% of the total revenue of $7.8 billion for the year ended December 31, 2023 is generated from long-term contracts. As disclosed by management, for the Company’s long-term contracts, because of control transferring over time, revenue is recognized based on the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation. The selection of the method to measure progress towards completion requires judgment and is based on the nature of the products or services to be provided. The Company generally uses the cost-to-cost measure of progress for its contracts because it best depicts the transfer of control to the customer that occurs as the Company incurs costs on the contracts. Under the cost-to-cost measure of progress, the extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation. Revenues are recorded proportionally as costs are incurred. Due to the nature of the work required to be performed on many of the performance obligations, management’s estimation of total revenue and cost at completion is complex, subject to many variables and requires significant judgment. There are many factors, including, but not limited to, the ability to properly execute the engineering and design phases consistent with customers’ expectations, the availability and costs of labor and materials resources, productivity, and weather, all of which can affect the accuracy of cost estimates, and ultimately, future profitability.
The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to revenue recognition - determination of estimated costs to complete for long-term contracts is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management when determining the estimated costs to complete for long-term contracts, and (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management’s significant assumptions related to the estimated costs to complete.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the revenue recognition process, including controls over the determination of estimated costs to complete for long-term contracts. These procedures also included, among others, testing management’s process for determining the estimated costs to complete for a selection of long-term contracts by (i) obtaining executed purchase orders and agreements; (ii) evaluating the appropriateness of the method to measure progress towards completion; (iii) testing the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used by management; and (iv) evaluating the reasonableness of significant assumptions related to the estimated costs to complete. Evaluating the reasonableness of significant assumptions involved assessing management’s ability to reasonably estimate costs to complete long-term contracts, as applicable, by (i) performing procedures to assess the reasonableness of estimated costs to complete; (ii) testing management’s process to evaluate the timely identification of circumstances which may warrant a modification to a previous cost estimate; (iii) testing management’s process to evaluate contract contingencies relative to the contractual terms and actual progress of contracts; and (iv) performing procedures to assess the reasonableness of changes in life of project margin.

TECHNIPFMC PLC AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of operations - TechnipFMC plc and consolidated subsidiaries (“TechnipFMC,” “we,” “us” or “our”) is a global leader in oil and natural gas projects, technologies, systems and services through our business segments: Subsea and Surface Technologies. We have manufacturing operations worldwide, strategically located to facilitate delivery of our products, systems and services to our customers.
Basis of presentation - Our consolidated financial statements were prepared in U.S. dollars and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) pertaining to annual financial information. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with these accounting principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Ultimate results could differ from our estimates.
Principles of consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of TechnipFMC, its controlled subsidiaries and affiliates. We consolidate an entity when we have a variable interest in an entity for which we are the primary beneficiary. Intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Variable interest entities - We determine whether investments involve a variable interest entity (“VIE”) based on the characteristics of the subject entity. If the entity is determined to be a VIE, then management determines if we are the primary beneficiary of the entity and whether or not consolidation of the VIE is required. The primary beneficiary consolidating the VIE must normally have both (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the VIE’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb significant losses of or the right to receive significant benefits from the VIE. If we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary, the VIE is consolidated and the other party’s equity interest in the VIE is accounted for as a non-controlling interest. Our unconsolidated VIEs are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Our maximum exposure to loss related to VIEs is limited to the carrying value of our investments.
Use of estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, estimates of total contract profit or loss on long-term construction-type contracts; estimated realizable value on excess and obsolete inventory; estimates related to pension accounting; estimates related to fair value for purposes of assessing long-lived assets and intangible assets for impairment and estimates related to income taxes.
Investments in equity affiliates - The equity method of accounting is used to account for investments in equity affiliates where we have the ability to exert significant influence over the affiliates’ operating and financial policies.
Investments in equity affiliates are assessed for impairment whenever events or changes in facts and circumstances indicate the carrying value of the investments may not be fully recoverable. When such a condition is subjectively determined to be other than temporary, the carrying value of the investment is written down to fair value. Management’s assessment as to whether any decline in value is other than temporary is based on our ability and intent to hold the investment and whether evidence indicating the carrying value of the investment is recoverable within a reasonable period of time outweighs evidence to the contrary. Management generally considers our investments in equity affiliates to be strategic, long-term investments and completes its assessments for impairment with a long-term viewpoint.
Other investments - We measure equity investments not accounted for under the equity method at fair value and recognize any changes in fair value in net income. Investments in which ownership is less than 20% or that do not represent significant investments are reported in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Where no active market exists and where no other valuation method can be used, these financial assets are maintained at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer.
Leases - The majority of our leases are operating leases. We account for leases in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 842, Leases.
64


We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception by assessing whether an identified asset exists and if we have the right to control the use of the identified asset. Operating leases are included in Operating lease right-of-use assets, Operating lease liabilities (current), and Operating lease liabilities (non-current) in our consolidated balance sheets. Right-of-use assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of the remaining lease payments over the lease term. With the exception of rare cases in which the implicit rate is readily determinable, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Lease cost for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Lease terms within our lessee arrangements may include options to extend/renew or terminate the lease and/or purchase the underlying asset when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. TechnipFMC applies a portfolio approach by asset class to determine lease term renewals. The leases within these portfolios are categorized by asset class and have initial lease terms that vary depending on the asset class. The renewal terms range from 1 year to 5 years for asset classes such as temporary residential housing, forklifts, vehicles, vessels, office and IT equipment, and tool rentals, and up to 15 years or more for commercial real estate. Short-term leases with an initial term of 12 months or less that do not include a purchase option are not recorded on the balance sheet. Lease costs for short-term leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and amounts related to short-term leases are disclosed within our financial statements.
TechnipFMC has variable lease payments, including adjustments to lease payments based on an index or rate (such as the Consumer Price Index), fair value adjustments to lease payments, and common area maintenance, real estate taxes, and insurance payments in triple-net real estate leases. Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate (such as the Consumer Price Index or a market interest rate) are included when measuring consideration within our lease arrangements using the payments with a fixed increase amount or an index provided in the contract. Variable payments are recognized in the consolidated income statements and are disclosed as “variable lease costs” in the period during which they are incurred.
We lease real estate including land, buildings and warehouses, machinery/equipment, and vessels from a lessor perspective. We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception by assessing whether an identified asset exists and if the customer has the right to control the use of the identified asset. We use our implicit rate for our lessor arrangements. We do not separate lease and non-lease components for all asset classes except for vessels, which have significant non-lease components. If the non-lease component is predominant in our contracts, we account for the contracts under the revenue recognition guidance in ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (Topic 606). If the lease component is predominant in our contracts, we account for the contracts under the lease guidance in Topic 842. We estimate the amount we expect to derive from the underlying asset following the end of the lease term based on remaining economic life. Our lessor arrangements generally do not include any residual value guarantees. We recognize lessee payments of lessor costs such as taxes and insurance on a net basis when the lessee pays those costs directly to a third party or when the amount paid by the lessee is not readily determinable.
Revenue recognition - The majority of our revenue is derived from long-term contracts that can span several years. We account for revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
Allocation of transaction price to performance obligations - A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue, when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. To determine the proper revenue recognition method, we evaluate whether two or more contracts should be combined and accounted for as one single contract and whether the combined or single contract should be accounted for as more than one performance obligation. This evaluation requires significant judgment; certain of our contracts have a single performance obligation as the promise to transfer the individual goods or services is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts and, therefore, not distinct.
65


Variable consideration - Due to the nature of the work required to be performed on many of our performance obligations, the estimation of total revenue and cost at completion is complex, subject to many variables and requires significant judgment. It is common for our long-term contracts to contain variable considerations that can either increase or decrease the transaction price. Variability in the transaction price arises due to liquidated damages. We consider our experience with similar transactions and expectations regarding the contract in estimating the amount of variable consideration to which we will be entitled, and determining whether the estimated variable consideration should be constrained. We include estimated amounts in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Our estimates of variable consideration are based largely on an assessment of our anticipated performance and all information (historical, current and forecasted) that is reasonably available to us.
Payment terms - Progress billings are generally issued upon completion of certain phases of the work as stipulated in the contract. Payment terms may either be fixed, lump-sum or driven by time and materials (e.g., daily or hourly rates, plus materials). Because typically the customer retains a small portion of the contract price until completion of the contract, our contracts generally result in revenue recognized in excess of billings which we present as contract assets on the balance sheet. Amounts billed and due from our customers are classified as receivables in the consolidated balance sheets. The portion of the payments retained by the customer until the final contract settlement is not considered a significant financing component because the intent is to protect the customer. For some contracts, we may be entitled to receive an advance payment. We recognize a liability for these advance payments in excess of revenue recognized and present it as contract liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The advance payment typically is not considered a significant financing component because it is used to meet working capital demands that can be higher in the early stages of a contract and to protect us from the other party failing to adequately complete some or all of its obligations under the contract.
Warranty - Certain contracts include an assurance-type warranty clause, typically between 12 to 36 months, to guarantee that the products comply with agreed specifications. A service-type warranty may also be provided to the customer; in such a case, management allocates a portion of the transaction price to the warranty based on the estimated stand-alone selling price of the service-type warranty.
Revenue recognized over time - Our performance obligations are satisfied over time either as work progresses or at a point in time. Revenue from products and services transferred to customers over time accounted for approximately 64%, 63% and 68% of our revenue for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Typically, revenue is recognized over time using an input measure (e.g., costs incurred to date relative to total estimated costs at completion) to measure progress.
Cost-to-cost method - For our long-term contracts, because of control transferring over time, revenue is recognized based on the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation. We generally use the cost-to-cost measure of progress for our contracts because it best depicts the transfer of control to the customer which occurs as we incur costs on our contracts. Under the cost-to-cost measure of progress, the extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation. Revenues are recorded proportionally as costs are incurred. Any expected losses on construction-type contracts in progress are charged to earnings, in total, in the period during which the losses are identified.
Right-to-invoice practical expedient - The right-to-invoice practical expedient can be applied to a performance obligation satisfied over time if we have a right to invoice the customer for an amount that corresponds directly with the value transferred to the customer for our performance completed to date. When this practical expedient is used, we do not estimate variable consideration at the inception of the contract to determine the transaction price or for disclosure purposes. We have contracts which have payment terms dictated by daily or hourly rates where some contracts may have mixed pricing terms which include a fixed fee portion. For contracts in which we charge the customer a fixed rate based on the time or materials spent during the project that correspond to the value transferred to the customer, we recognize revenue in the amount to which we have the right to invoice.
66


Contract modifications - Contracts are often modified to account for changes in contract specifications and requirements. We consider contract modifications to exist when the modification either creates new, or changes the existing, enforceable rights and obligations. Most of our contract modifications are for goods or services that are not distinct from the existing contract due to the significant integration service provided in the context of the contract and are accounted for as if they were part of that existing contract. The effect of a contract modification on the transaction price and our measure of progress for the performance obligation to which it relates is recognized as an adjustment to revenue (either as an increase in or a reduction of revenue) on a cumulative catch-up basis.
Contract costs to obtain a contract - Our incremental direct costs of obtaining a contract are deferred and amortized over the period of contract performance or a longer period, generally the estimated life of the customer relationship.
See Note 5 for further details.
Cash equivalents - Cash equivalents are highly liquid, short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less from their date of purchase.
Trade receivables, net of allowances - An allowance for credit losses is provided on receivables equal to the estimated uncollectible amounts and is calculated based on loss rates from historical data. We develop loss-rate statistics on the basis of the amount written off over the life of the receivable and adjust these historical credit loss trends for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment to determine lifetime expected losses.
Inventories - Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, except as it relates to inventory measured using the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method, for which the inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Inventory costs include those costs directly attributable to products, including all manufacturing overhead, but excluding costs to distribute. Cost for a significant portion of the U.S. domiciled inventories is determined on the LIFO method. The first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) or weighted average methods are used to determine the cost for the remaining inventories. Write-down of inventories is recorded when the net realizable value of inventories is lower than their net book value.
Property, plant and equipment - Property, plant, and equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation is principally provided on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets (vessels - 10 to 30 years; buildings - 10 to 50 years; and machinery and equipment - 3 to 20 years). Gains and losses are realized upon the sale or retirement of assets and are recorded in other income (expense), net on our consolidated statements of income. Maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred. Expenditures that extend the useful lives of property, plant and equipment are capitalized and depreciated over the estimated new remaining life of the asset.
Impairment of property, plant and equipment - Property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of the long-lived asset may not be recoverable. The carrying value of an asset group is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. If it is determined that an impairment loss has occurred, the impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying value of the long-lived asset exceeds its fair value.
Long-lived assets classified as held for sale are reported at the lower of carrying value or fair value less cost to sell.
Intangible assets - Our acquired intangible assets are generally amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which generally range from 2 to 20 years. Our acquired intangible assets do not have indefinite lives. Intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the intangible asset may not be recoverable. The carrying amount of an intangible asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. If it is determined that an impairment loss has occurred, the loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the intangible asset exceeds its fair value.
Capitalized software costs are recorded at cost. Capitalized software costs include purchases of software and internal and external costs incurred during the application development stage of software projects. These costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives. For internal use software, the useful lives range from 3 to 10 years. For Internet website costs, the estimated useful lives do not exceed 3 years.
67


Research and development expense is expensed as incurred. Research and development expense includes improvement of existing products and services, design and development of new products and services and test of new technologies.
Debt instruments - Debt instruments include senior and private placement notes and other borrowings. Issuance fees and redemption premium on debt instruments are included in the cost of debt in the consolidated balance sheets, as an adjustment to the nominal amount of the debt. Loan origination costs for revolving credit facilities are recorded as an asset and amortized over the life of the underlying debt.
Fair value measurements - Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date. The fair value framework requires the categorization of assets and liabilities measured at fair value into three levels based upon the assumptions (inputs) used to price the assets or liabilities, with the exception of certain assets and liabilities measured using the net asset value practical expedient, which are not required to be leveled. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, whereas Level 3 generally requires significant management judgment. The three levels are defined as follows:
•Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
•Level 2: Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1. For example, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets.
•Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
Income taxes - Current income taxes are provided on income reported for financial statement purposes, adjusted for transactions that do not enter into the computation of income taxes payable in the same year. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is established whenever management believes that it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets may not be realizable.
Income taxes are not provided on our equity in undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries or affiliates to the extent we have determined that the earnings are indefinitely reinvested. Income taxes are provided on such earnings in the period in which we can no longer support that such earnings are indefinitely reinvested.
Tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions are recognized when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination.
We classify interest expense and penalties recognized on underpayments of income taxes as income tax expense.
Share-based compensation - The measurement of share-based compensation expense on restricted share awards is based on the market price and fair value at the grant date and the number of shares awarded. The fair value of performance shares is estimated using a combination of the closing stock price on the grant date and the Monte Carlo simulation model. We use Black-Scholes options pricing model to measure the fair value of stock options granted on or after January 1, 2017. The stock-based compensation expense for each award is recognized ratably over the applicable service period or the period beginning at the start of the service period and ending when an employee becomes eligible for retirement, after taking into account estimated forfeitures.
Earnings per ordinary share (“EPS”) - Basic EPS is computed using the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. We use the treasury stock method to compute diluted EPS which gives effect to the potential dilution of earnings that could have occurred if additional shares were issued for awards granted under our incentive compensation and stock plan. The treasury stock method assumes proceeds that would be obtained upon exercise of awards granted under our incentive compensation and stock plan are used to purchase outstanding ordinary shares at the average market price during the period.
68


Foreign currency - Financial statements of operations for which the U.S. dollar is not the functional currency, and which are located in non-highly inflationary countries, are translated into U.S. dollars prior to consolidation. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date, while income statement accounts are translated at the average exchange rate for each period. For these operations, translation gains and losses are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity until the foreign entity is sold or liquidated. For operations in highly inflationary countries and where the local currency is not the functional currency, inventories, property, plant and equipment, and other non-current assets are converted to U.S. dollars at historical exchange rates, and all gains or losses from conversion are included in net income. Foreign currency effects on cash, cash equivalents and debt in highly inflationary economies are included in interest income or expense.
For certain committed and anticipated future cash flows and recognized assets and liabilities which are denominated in a foreign currency, we may choose to manage our risk against changes in the exchange rates, when compared against the functional currency, through the economic netting of exposures instead of derivative instruments. Cash outflows or liabilities in a foreign currency are matched against cash inflows or assets in the same currency, such that movements in exchange rates will result in offsetting gains or losses. Due to the inherent unpredictability of the timing of cash flows, gains and losses in the current period may be economically offset by gains and losses in a future period. All gains and losses are recorded in our consolidated statements of income in the period in which they are incurred. Gains and losses from the remeasurement of assets and liabilities are recognized in other income (expense), net.
Derivative instruments - Derivatives are recognized on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value, with classification as current or non-current based upon the maturity of the derivative instrument. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments are recorded in current earnings or deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), depending on the type of hedging transaction and whether a derivative is designated as, and is effective as, a hedge. Each instrument is accounted for individually and assets and liabilities are not offset.
Hedge accounting is only applied when the derivative is deemed to be highly effective at offsetting changes in anticipated cash flows of the hedged item or transaction. Changes in fair value of derivatives that are designated as cash flow hedges are deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the underlying transactions are recognized in earnings. At such time, related deferred hedging gains or losses are recorded in earnings on the same line as the hedged item. Effectiveness is assessed at the inception of the hedge and on a quarterly basis. Effectiveness of forward contract cash flow hedges are assessed based solely on changes in fair value attributable to the change in the spot rate. The change in the fair value of the contract related to the change in forward rates is excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. Changes in this excluded component of the derivative instrument, along with any ineffectiveness identified, are recorded in earnings as incurred. We document our risk management strategy and hedge effectiveness at the inception of, and during the term of, each hedge.
We also use forward contracts to hedge foreign currency assets and liabilities, for which we do not apply hedge accounting. The changes in fair value of these contracts are recognized in other income (expense), net on our consolidated statements of income, as they occur and offset gains or losses on the remeasurement of the related asset or liability.
NOTE 2. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards under GAAP
In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU No. 2022-04, "Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations," which is intended to enhance the transparency surrounding the use of supplier finance programs. Supplier finance programs may also be referred to as reverse factoring, payables finance, or structured payables arrangements. The amendments require a buyer that uses supplier finance programs to make annual disclosures about the program’s key terms, the balance sheet presentation of related amounts, the confirmed amount outstanding at the end of the period and associated roll forward information. These amendments were effective for the year beginning January 1, 2023, except for the rollforward requirements, which are effective for the year beginning January 1, 2024. The rollforward disclosures will be adopted as required for the reporting period beginning January 1, 2024.
69


We adopted the standard as of January 1, 2023. We facilitate a supply chain finance program (“SCF”) that is administered by a third-party financial institution (the “SCF bank”) which allows qualifying suppliers to sell their receivables from the Company to the SCF bank. These participating suppliers negotiate their outstanding receivable directly with the SCF bank. We are not a party to those agreements and the terms of our payment obligations are not impacted by a supplier’s participation in the SCF. We agree to pay the SCF bank based on the original invoice amounts and maturity dates as consistent with our other Accounts payables.
All outstanding amounts related to suppliers participating in the SCF are recorded within Accounts payable, trade in our consolidated balance sheets, and the associated payments are included in operating activities within our consolidated statements of cash flows. As of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the amounts due to suppliers participating in the SCF and included in Accounts payable were approximately $132.9 million and $101.8 million, respectively.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards under GAAP
In November, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures,” which requires incremental disclosures about a public entity’s reportable segments but does not change the definition of a segment or the guidance for determining reportable segments. The new guidance requires disclosure of significant segment expenses that are (1) regularly provided to (or easily computed from information regularly provided to) the chief operating decision maker and (2) included in the reported measure of segment profit or loss. The new standard also allows companies to disclose multiple measures of segment profit or loss if those measures are used to assess performance and allocate resources. The guidance is effective as of January 1, 2024 and should be adopted retrospectively unless impracticable. We are currently evaluating the impact of this amendment on our consolidated financial statements.
On December 14, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” which requires significant additional disclosures about income taxes, primarily focused on the disclosure of income taxes paid and the rate reconciliation table. The new guidance will be applied prospectively (with retrospective application permitted) and is effective in the 2025 annual period and in 2026 for interim periods, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this amendment on our consolidated financial statements.
We consider the applicability and impact of all ASUs. We assessed ASUs not listed above and determined that they either were not applicable or were not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.
NOTE 3. BUSINESS COMBINATION AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS
2023
Disposal of Measurement Solutions Business
In November 2023, TechnipFMC announced an agreement to sell the Company’s Measurement Solutions business (the “MSB”) to One Equity Partners for $205 million in cash, subject to customary adjustments at the closing of the transaction. As part of the Surface Technologies segment, the MSB encompasses terminal management solutions and metering products and systems and includes engineering and manufacturing locations in North America and Europe.
This transaction is expected to be completed by the end of the first quarter of 2024, and we have recorded $5.2 million in transaction costs associated with the sale. These transaction costs are included within impairment, restructuring and other expenses in our consolidated statements of income. The assets and liabilities of MSB are classified as current assets and liabilities held for sale as presented in our consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2023.
2021
Magma Global Ltd.
In 2018, we entered into a collaboration agreement with Magma Global Ltd. (“Magma Global”) to develop a new generation of hybrid flexible pipe for use in the traditional and new energy industries. As part of the collaboration, we purchased a minority ownership interest in Magma Global.
70


In October 2021, we entered into a transaction to purchase the remaining ownership interest in Magma Global for $64.0 million. The cash consideration is being paid to the shareholders of Magma Global in three installments. The first payment of $23.9 million was paid on October 12, 2021 and the second payment of $18.5 million was paid on October 12, 2022. The final payment is contingent on the future occurrence of certain activities in accordance with the provisions of the agreement. Magma technology enables the manufacture of Thermoplastic Composite Pipe (TCP) using Polyether Ether Ketone (PEEK) polymer, which is highly resistant to corrosive compounds, such as CO2.
With the step acquisition of the remaining outstanding shares of Magma Global and our resulting control of the company, we recorded a $36.7 million impairment during the third quarter of 2021 to adjust our equity method investment to its estimated fair market value. The impairment charge is included in income/loss from equity affiliates line in our consolidated statements of income.
As a result of the purchase price allocation of the remaining interest, we recognized $50.2 million of intangible assets consisting of in-process research and development and trademarks, which are being amortized on a straight-line basis over 15 years. The fair value of the identifiable intangible assets has been estimated using an income approach.
TIOS
In accordance with the Share Purchase Agreement between Technip-Coflexip UK Holdings Limited (“TUK”) and Island Offshore Management AS (“Island Offshore”) that was executed on March 12, 2018, whereby TUK initially purchased 51% of the shares of TIOS AS (“TIOS”), a joint venture between TUK and Island Offshore, TUK acquired the remaining 49% interest in TIOS at a total price of $48.6 million during the third quarter of 2021.
NOTE 4. LEASES
Lessee Arrangements
We lease real estate, including land, buildings and warehouses, machinery/equipment, vessels, vehicles, and various types of manufacturing and data processing equipment, from a lessee perspective. Leases of real estate generally provide for payment of property taxes, insurance, and repairs by us. Substantially all our leases are classified as operating leases.
The following table is a summary of the Company’s components of net lease cost for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021:

Our operating lease revenue, including variable revenue, was $273.5 million, $215.1 million, and $158.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. During the term of the leases, we expect to receive committed revenues of $12.8 million in total undiscounted cash flows, of which $3.0 million is expected to be received in 2024 and $3.0 million is expected to be received in 2025.

NOTE 5. REVENUE
The majority of our revenue is from long-term contracts associated with designing and manufacturing products and systems and providing services to customers involved in exploration and production of oil and natural gas.
Revenue Recognition by Segment
The following is a description of principal activities separated by reportable segments from which TechnipFMC generates its revenue. See Note 6 for more detailed information about reportable segments.
Subsea
Our Subsea segment designs and manufactures products and systems, performs engineering, procurement and project management and provides services used by oil and natural gas companies involved in offshore exploration and production of oil and natural gas. Systems and services may be sold separately or as integrated systems and services offered within one contract. Many of the systems and products TechnipFMC supplies for subsea applications are engineered to meet the unique demands of our customers’ field properties and are typically ordered one to two years prior to installation. We often receive advance payments and progress billings from our customers in order to fund initial development and working capital requirements.
72


Revenue for engineering, procurement, construction and installation projects is principally generated from long-term contracts with customers. We have determined these contracts generally have one performance obligation as the delivered product is built to customer and field specifications. We generally recognize revenue over time for such contracts as the customized products do not have an alternative use for TechnipFMC and we have an enforceable right to payment plus a reasonable profit for performance completed to date.
Our Subsea segment also performs an array of subsea services including (i) installation services, (ii) asset management services (iii) product optimization, (iv) inspection, maintenance and repair services, and (v) well access and intervention services, where revenue is generally earned through the execution of either installation-type or maintenance-type contracts. For either contract type, management has determined that the performance of the service generally represents one single performance obligation. We have determined that revenue from these contracts is recognized over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit of the services.
Surface Technologies
Our Surface Technologies segment designs, manufactures and supplies technologically advanced wellhead systems and pressure control products used in well completion and stimulation activities for oilfield service companies. We also provide installation, flowback and other services for exploration and production companies.
Performance obligations within these systems are satisfied either through delivery of a standardized product or equipment or the delivery of a customized product or equipment.
For contracts with a standardized product or equipment performance obligation, management has determined that because there is limited customization to products sold within such contracts and the asset delivered can be resold to another customer, revenue should be recognized as of a point in time, upon transfer of control to the customer and after the customer acceptance provisions have been met.
For contracts with a customized product or equipment performance obligation, the revenue is recognized over time, as customized products do not have an alternative use for us and we have an enforceable right to payment plus a reasonable profit for performance completed to date.
This segment also designs, manufactures and services measurement products globally. Contract types include standard product or equipment and maintenance-type services where we have determined that each contract under this product line represents one performance obligation.
Revenue from standard measurement equipment contracts is recognized at a point in time, while maintenance-type contracts are typically priced at a daily or hourly rate. We have determined that revenue for these contracts is recognized over time because the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit of the services.
Disaggregation of Revenue
We disaggregate revenue by geographic location and contract type. The following table presents total revenue by geography for each reportable segment for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021:

(a)Represents revenue not subject to ASC Topic 606.
Contract Balances
The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable, costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts (contract assets), and billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts (contract liabilities) in the consolidated balance sheets. Any expected contract losses are recorded in the period in which they become probable.
Contract Assets - Contract Assets include unbilled amounts typically resulting from sales under long-term contracts when revenue is recognized over time and revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer, and right to payment is not just subject to the passage of time. Amounts may not exceed their net realizable value. Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts are generally classified as current.
Contract Liabilities - We sometimes receive advances or deposits from our customers, before revenue is recognized, resulting in contract liabilities.
The following table provides information about net contract assets (liabilities) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022:
December 31,
(In millions) 2023 2022
Contract assets $ 1,010.1  $ 981.6 
Contract (liabilities) (1,485.8) (1,156.4)
Net contract (liabilities) $ (475.7) $ (174.8)

The increase in our contract assets from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2023 was due to the timing of project milestones.
The increase in our contract liabilities was driven from an overall portfolio and client mix enabling an acceleration of client cash payments in advance.
In order to determine revenue recognized in the period from contract liabilities, we first allocate revenue to the individual contract liability balance outstanding at the beginning of the period until the revenue exceeds that balance. Any subsequent revenue we recognize increases our contract asset balance. Revenue recognized for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 that were included in the contract liabilities balance as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $647.1 million and $607.4 million, respectively.
In addition, net revenue recognized for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 from our performance obligations satisfied or partially satisfied in previous periods had favorable impact of $7.2 million and $160.8 million, respectively. Certain projects were materially impacted favorably for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 by negotiations of variable consideration of $39.1 million and $110.6 million, respectively and were offset by individually immaterial net negative impact of $31.9 million and net positive impact of $50.2 million, respectively.
74


Transaction Price Allocated to the Remaining Unsatisfied Performance Obligations
Remaining unsatisfied performance obligations (“RUPO” or “order backlog”) represent the transaction price for products and services for which we have a material right, but work has not been performed. Transaction price of the order backlog includes the base transaction price, variable consideration and changes in transaction price. The order backlog table does not include contracts for which we recognize revenue at the amount to which we have the right to invoice for services performed. The transaction price of order backlog related to unfilled, confirmed customer orders is estimated at each reporting date. As of December 31, 2023, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to order backlog was $13,231.0 million. TechnipFMC expects to recognize revenue on approximately 40.0% of the order backlog through 2024 and 60.0% thereafter.
The following table details the order backlog for each business segment as of December 31, 2023:
(In millions) 2024 2025 Thereafter
Subsea $ 4,812.0  $ 3,411.0  $ 3,941.1 
Surface Technologies 483.8  133.0  450.1 
Total remaining unsatisfied performance obligations $ 5,295.8  $ 3,544.0  $ 4,391.2 
NOTE 6. BUSINESS SEGMENTS
Management’s determination of our reporting segments was made on the basis of our strategic priorities within each segment and the differences in the products and services we provide, which corresponds to the manner in which our Chair and Chief Executive Officer, as our chief operating decision maker, reviews and evaluates operating performance and allocates resources. We operate under two reportable segments: Subsea and Surface Technologies.
Segment operating profit (loss) is defined as total segment revenue less segment operating expenses. Income (loss) from equity method investments is included in segment operating profit. The following items have been excluded from segment operating profit (loss): a non-recurring legal settlement charge, corporate staff expense, foreign exchange gains (losses), income (loss) from investment in Technip Energies, loss on early extinguishment of debt, net interest income (expense) associated with corporate debt facilities and income taxes.
Our customers are the major integrated oil companies, national oil companies and independent exploration and production companies that are active in the geographic areas in which we operate. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the largest Subsea segment client Petrobras accounted for more than 16 percent of our 2023 consolidated revenue.

NOTE 8. RECEIVABLES
We manage our receivables portfolios using published default risk as a key credit quality indicator for our loans and receivables. Our loans receivables and security deposits were related to sales of long-lived assets or businesses, loans to related parties for capital expenditure purposes, or security deposits for lease arrangements.
We manage our held-to-maturity debt securities using published credit ratings as a key credit quality indicator as our held-to-maturity debt securities consist of government bonds.

Credit Losses
For contract assets and trade receivables, we have elected to calculate an expected credit loss based on loss rates from historical data. We develop loss-rate statistics on the basis of the amount written-off over the life of the financial assets and contract assets and adjust these historical credit loss trends for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment to determine lifetime expected losses.
For loans receivable, held-to-maturity debt securities at amortized cost, and security deposits and other, we evaluate whether these securities are considered to have low credit risk at the reporting date using available, reasonable and supportable information.
The table below shows the roll-forward of allowance for credit losses as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

NOTE 12. INVESTMENTS
Equity Method Investments
The equity method of accounting is used to account for investments in unconsolidated affiliates where we can have the ability to exert significant influence over the affiliates operating and financial policies.
Our equity investments were as follows as of December 31, 2023 and 2022:
December 31,
2023 2022
(In millions, except %) Percentage Owned Carrying Value
Dofcon Brasil AS 50.0  % $ 261.9  $ 312.8 
Serimax Holdings SAS 20.0  % 8.9  8.6 
Other 3.6  3.6 
Investments in equity affiliates $ 274.4  $ 325.0 

Our income from equity affiliates for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, was $34.4 million, $44.6 million, and $0.6 million, respectively and included within our Subsea segment.
We assess investments for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an investment may not be recoverable. During 2023 and 2022, we did not record any impairments of our equity method investments. During 2021, we recorded a $36.7 million impairment, in connection with the step acquisition of the remaining outstanding shares of Magma Global and our resulting control of the company. See Note 3 for further details.
Our major equity method investments are as follows:
Dofcon Brasil AS - is an affiliated company in the form of a joint venture between TechnipFMC and DOF Subsea and was founded in 2006. The DOF-TechnipFMC JV is composed of three legal entities, Dofcon Brasil AS, Techdof Brasil AS and Dofcon Navegacao Ltda. Dofcon Brasil AS is the JV Holding company and is owned 50% by DOF and 50% by TechnipFMC. Dofcon Brasil AS owns 100% of both Dofcon Navegacao Ltda and Techdof Brasil AS. All JV entities are collectively referred to as “Dofcon.” Dofcon provides Pipe-Laying Support Vessels (PLSVs) for work in oil and natural gas fields offshore Brazil. Dofcon is considered a VIE because it does not have sufficient equity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. We are not the primary beneficiary of the VIE. As such, we have accounted for our 50% investment using the equity method of accounting with results reported in our Subsea segment.

In June 2023, Dofcon Brasil AS declared a dividend of $170.0 million to its JV partners. The dividend receivable was recorded within other current assets on our consolidated balance sheet until December 2023 when the Dofcon JV partners agreed and signed the agreement to convert their outstanding dividend receivable into a long-term loan receivable from Dofcon. As a result of this conversion, we converted our 50% share of this dividend receivable into a long-term loan receivable that has a due date of June 26, 2028 and is included in other assets on our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023.

Dofcon Navegacao Ltda and Techdof Brasil AS have debts related to loans on its vessels. TechnipFMC and DOF Subsea provide guarantees for the debts and our share of the guarantees was $380.9 million as of December 31, 2023. During March 2023, DOF ASA, the parent company of DOF Subsea, completed the process of restructuring, unrelated and outside of the joint venture, and DOF Services AS is the new holding company of DOF Group. As a result of the restructure of the DOF Group, the cross default provisions ceased to exist and therefore waivers and consents are no longer required. Accordingly, TechnipFMC continued to not recognize a liability related to its guarantees.

TechDof Brasil AS owns and operates the Skandi Buzios vessel. During June 2023, a fire occurred onboard the vessel alongside Porto do Açu in Brazil. Repairs on the vessel have started during the fourth quarter of 2023 and are progressing according to plan. The vessel is scheduled to be back in operation during the second half of 2024. As a result of the incident, TechnipFMC did not note any impairment indicators, which were other than temporary, and thus no impairment has been recorded on the carrying value of our investment.
81


Serimax Holdings SAS (“Serimax”) - is an affiliated company in the form of a joint venture between TechnipFMC and Vallourec SA and was founded in 2016. Serimax is headquartered in Paris, France and provides rigid pipes welding services for work in oil and natural gas fields around the world. We have accounted for our 20% investment using the equity method of accounting with results reported in our Subsea segment.
Other includes Magnora Offshore Wind AS - During the first quarter of 2022, we entered into Magnora Offshore Wind AS, a partnership with Magnora ASA, in order to develop floating offshore wind projects. As of December 31, 2023, the 20% ownership equity method investment balance was $3.0 million.
Investment in Technip Energies
As discussed in Note 25, immediately following the completion of the Spin-off, we owned 49.9% of the outstanding shares of Technip Energies. At the Spin-off date, on initial recognition of the investment, we elected to account for our investment in Technip Energies at fair value with all subsequent changes in fair value for the investment reported in our consolidated statements of income.
As of December 31, 2022, we have fully divested our remaining ownership in Technip Energies. For the year ended December 31, 2022, we recognized $27.7 million loss, related to our investment in Technip Energies. The amounts recognized include purchase price discounts on the sales of shares and a fair value revaluation gains and losses of our investment.

Credit Facilities and Debt
Revolving Credit Facility - On February 16, 2021, we entered into a credit agreement, which provides for a $1.0 billion three-year senior secured multi-currency Revolving Credit Facility including a $450.0 million letter of credit sub-facility. We incurred $34.8 million of debt issuance costs in connection with the Revolving Credit Facility. These debt issuance costs are deferred and are included in other assets in our consolidated balance sheets. The deferred debt issuance costs are amortized to interest expense over the term of the Revolving Credit Facility.
On April 24, 2023, we entered into a fifth amendment (the “Amendment No. 5”) to the Revolving Credit Facility (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”), dated February 16, 2021, which increases the commitments available to the Company to $1.25 billion and extends the term to five years from the date of the Amendment No. 5. The Credit Agreement also provides for a $250.0 million letter of credit sub-facility. We incurred $16.7 million of debt issuance costs in connection with the Revolving Credit Facility. These debt issuance costs are deferred and are included in other assets in our consolidated balance sheets. The deferred debt issuance costs are amortized to interest expense over the term of the Revolving Credit Facility.
Availability of borrowings under the Credit Agreement is reduced by the outstanding letters of credit issued against the facility. As of December 31, 2023, there were $54.2 million letters of credit outstanding and availability of borrowings under the Credit Agreement was $1,195.8 million.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at the following rates, plus an applicable margin, depending on currency:
•U.S. dollar-denominated loans bear interest, at the Company’s option, at a base rate or an adjusted rate linked to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“Adjusted Term SOFR”); and
•Euro-denominated loans bear interest on an adjusted rate linked to the Euro interbank offered rate.

The applicable margin for borrowings under the Credit Agreement ranges from 2.50% to 3.50% for Term Benchmark (as defined in the Credit Agreement) loans and 1.50% to 2.50% for base rate loans, depending on a total leverage ratio.
84


The Credit Agreement is subject to customary representations and warranties, covenants, events of default, mandatory repayment provisions and financial covenants.
Letter of Credit Facility - On April 24, 2023, the Company entered into a new $500 million five-year senior secured performance letters of credit facility (the “Performance LC Credit Agreement”). The commitments under the Performance LC Credit Agreement may be increased to $1.0 billion, subject to the satisfaction of certain customary conditions precedent. The Performance LC Credit Agreement permits the Company and its subsidiaries to have access to performance letters of credit denominated in a variety of currencies to support the contracting activities with counterparties that require or request a performance or similar guarantee. It contains substantially the same customary representations and warranties, covenants, events of default, mandatory repayment provisions and financial covenants as the Credit Agreement and benefits from the same guarantees and security as the Credit Agreement on a pari passu basis.
Upon the occurrence of an Investment Grade Debt Rating by any two of three Rating Agencies and the satisfaction of certain other conditions precedent, the collateral securing the Credit Agreement, the Performance LC Credit Agreement, and the guarantees provided by certain subsidiaries of the Company shall be automatically released (“fall-away”) and certain negative covenants will no longer apply to the Company.
2021 Notes - On January 29, 2021, we issued $1.0 billion of 6.50% senior notes due 2026. The interest on the 2021 Notes is paid semi-annually on February 1 and August 1 of each year, beginning on August 1, 2021. The 2021 Notes are senior unsecured obligations and are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by substantially all of our wholly owned U.S. subsidiaries and non-U.S. subsidiaries in Brazil, the Netherlands, Norway, Singapore and the United Kingdom. We incurred $25.7 million of debt issuance costs in connection with issuance of the 2021 Notes. These debt issuance costs are deferred and are included in long-term debt in our consolidated balance sheets. The deferred debt issuance costs are amortized to interest expense over the term of the 2021 Notes, which approximates the effective interest method.
During 2022, we completed a tender offer and purchased for cash $430.2 million of the outstanding 2021 Notes. We paid a cash premium of $21.5 million to the tendering note holders and wrote off $8.3 million of debt issuance costs. Concurrent with the tender offer, the Company obtained consents of holders with respect to the 2021 Notes to certain proposed amendments (“Proposed Amendments”) to the indenture governing these notes. The Proposed Amendments, among other things, eliminated substantially all of the restrictive covenants and certain event of default triggers in the indenture.
As of December 31, 2023, TechnipFMC was in compliance with all debt covenants.

Private Placement Notes
2020 Issuance:
During 2020, we completed the private placement of €200 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes (the “2020 Private Placement Notes”). The 2020 Private Placement Notes bear interest of 5.75% and are due June 2025. Interest on the notes is payable annually in arrears on June 30 of each year beginning June 30, 2020. The 2020 Private Placement Notes contain usual and customary covenants and events of default for notes of this type.

Interest on the Tranche A 2033 Notes is payable annually in arrears on October 7 each year, beginning October 7, 2014. During 2023, we repaid the outstanding $270.2 million of our 3.15% October 2023 “Tranche B & C 2023 Notes”.
85


2012 Issuances:

In June 2012, we completed the private placement of €325.0 million aggregate principal amount of notes.

Interest on the Tranche B 2027 Notes is payable annually in arrears on June 15 of each year, beginning on June 15, 2013. During 2022, we repaid the outstanding $161.0 million of our 3.40% June 2022 “Tranche A 2022 Notes”.
The 2013 and 2012 Private Placement Notes contain usual and customary covenants and events of default for notes of this type. In the event of a change of control resulting in a downgrade in the rating of the notes below BBB-, the 2013 and 2012 Private Placement Notes may be redeemed early at the request of any bondholder, at its sole discretion. The 2013 and 2012 Private Placement Notes are our unsecured obligations. The 2013 and 2012 Private Placement Notes will rank equally in right of payment with all of our existing and future unsubordinated debt.
Term loan - In December 2016, we entered into a £160.0 million term loan agreement to finance the Deep Explorer, a diving support vessel (“DSV”), maturing in December 2028. Under the loan agreement, interest accrues at an annual rate of 2.813%. This loan agreement contains usual and customary covenants and events of default for loans of this type.
Bank borrowings - In January 2019, we executed a sale-leaseback transaction to finance the purchase of a deepwater dive support vessel, Deep Discoverer (the “Vessel”) for the full transaction price of $116.8 million. The sale-leaseback agreement (“Charter”) was entered into with a French joint-stock company, owned by Credit Industrial et Commercial (“CIC”) which was formed for the sole purpose to purchase and act as the lessor of the Vessel. It is a variable interest entity, which is fully consolidated in our consolidated financial statements. The transaction was funded through debt of $96.2 million and expiring on January 8, 2031.
Foreign committed credit - We have committed credit lines at many of our international subsidiaries for immaterial amounts. We utilize these facilities for asset financing and to provide a more efficient daily source of liquidity. The effective interest rates depend upon the local national market.
NOTE 17. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
On July 26, 2023, the Company announced the initiation of a quarterly cash dividend. On July 25, 2023 and October 24, 2023, Board of Directors authorized and declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share. The cash dividends paid during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 were $43.5 million, nil and nil, respectively.
As an English public limited company, we are required under U.K. law to have available “distributable reserves” to conduct share repurchases or pay dividends to shareholders. Distributable reserves are a statutory requirement and are not linked to a GAAP reported amount (e.g., retained earnings). The declaration and payment of dividends require the authorization of our Board of Directors, provided that such dividends on issued share capital may be paid only out of our “distributable reserves” on our statutory balance sheet. Therefore, we are not permitted to pay dividends out of share capital, which includes share premium.

In July 2022, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $400.0 million of our outstanding ordinary shares under our share repurchase program. On July 26, 2023, the Board of Directors authorized additional share repurchase of up to $400.0 million. Together with the existing program, the Company’s total share repurchase authorization was increased to $800.0 million of our outstanding ordinary shares under our share repurchase program. Pursuant to this share repurchase program, we repurchased $205.1 million of ordinary shares during the year ended December 31, 2023. Since the initial share repurchase authorization in July 2022, we have purchased an aggregate amount of $305.3 million of ordinary shares through December 31, 2023. Based upon the remaining repurchase authority of $494.7 million and the closing stock price as of December 31, 2023, approximately 24.6 million ordinary shares could be subject to repurchase. All shares repurchased were immediately cancelled.

NOTE 18. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
Under the Amended and Restated TechnipFMC plc Incentive Award Plan (the “2017 Plan”), we were able to grant certain incentives and awards to our officers, employees, non-employee directors and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries. Awards included share options, share appreciation rights, performance stock units, restricted stock units, restricted shares or other awards authorized under the 2017 Plan. On April 28, 2022, we adopted the TechnipFMC plc 2022 Incentive Award Plan (the “Plan”), which replaces the 2017 Plan. Under the Plan, 8.9 million ordinary shares were authorized for awards, and the remaining available shares from the 2017 Plan were added to the authorized amount under the Plan.
The exercise price for options is determined by the Committee but cannot be less than the fair market value of our ordinary shares at the grant date. Restricted share and performance share unit grants generally vest after three years of service.
Under the Plan, our Board of Directors has the authority to grant non-employee directors share options, restricted shares, restricted share units and performance shares. Unless otherwise determined by our Board of Directors, awards to non-employee directors generally vest one year from the date of grant. All restricted share units awarded prior to 2020 will be settled when a non-executive director ceases services on the Board of Directors. Beginning with the 2020 equity award, non-executive directors now have the opportunity to elect the year in which they will take receipt of the equity grants from either (a) a period of 1 to 10 years from the grant date or (b) upon their separation from Board service. The elections are made prior to the beginning of the grant year and are irrevocable after December 31 of the year prior to grant. Restricted share units are settled when a director ceases services to the Board of Directors. As of December 31, 2023, outstanding awards to active and retired non-employee directors included 101.0 thousand of restricted share units.
The measurement of share-based compensation expense on restricted share awards is based on the market price and fair value at the grant date and the number of shares awarded. The fair value of performance shares is estimated using a combination of the closing stock price on the grant date and the Monte Carlo simulation model. We use the Black-Scholes options pricing model to measure the fair value of stock options granted on or after January 1, 2017.
88


The share-based compensation expense for each award is recognized ratably over the applicable service period or the period beginning at the start of the service period and ending when an employee becomes eligible for retirement (currently age 62 under the Plan), after taking into account estimated forfeitures.
We recognize compensation expense and the corresponding tax benefits for awards under the Plan. The compensation expense under the Plan for continuing operations was as follows:
Year Ended December 31,
(In millions) 2023 2022 2021
Share-based compensation expense $ 40.9  $ 40.5  $ 26.8 
Income tax benefits related to share-based compensation expense 9.0  8.8  7.2 

As of December 31, 2023, the portion of share-based compensation expense related to outstanding awards to be recognized in future periods is as follows:
December 31, 2023
Share-based compensation expense not yet recognized (in millions) $ 48.4 
Weighted-average recognition period (in years) 1.1

Restricted Share Units
A summary of the non-vested restricted share units’ activity is as follows:
(Shares in thousands) Shares Weighted-Average 
Grant Date 
Fair Value
Non-vested as of December 31, 2022 9,721.7  $ 7.81 
Granted 1,778.1  $ 14.06 
Vested (4,143.3) $ 7.35 
Cancelled/forfeited (438.8) $ 8.47 
Non-vested as of December 31, 2023 6,917.7  $ 9.65 

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of restricted stock share units granted during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 was $14.06, $7.89 and $7.97, respectively.
Performance Share Units
The Board of Directors has granted certain employees, senior executives and directors performance share units that vest subject to achieving satisfactory performances. For performance share units issued on or after January 1, 2022, performance is based on results of return on invested capital (50%) and total shareholder return (“TSR”) (50%).
For the performance share units which vest based on TSR, the fair value of performance shares is estimated using a combination of the closing stock price on the grant date and the Monte Carlo simulation model. The weighted-average fair value and the assumptions used to measure the fair value of performance share units subject to performance-adjusted vesting conditions in the Monte Carlo simulation model were as follows:
Year Ended December 31,
2023 2022 2021
Weighted-average fair value (a)
$21.70 $11.34 $11.50
Expected volatility (b)
69.40  % 65.90  % 62.70  %
Risk-free interest rate (c)
4.44  % 1.78  % 0.35  %
Expected performance period in years (d)
3.0 3.0 2.9
(a) The weighted-average fair value was based on performance share units granted during the period.
(b) Expected volatility is based on normalized historical volatility of our shares over a preceding period commensurate with the expected term of the performance share units.
(c) The risk-free rate for the expected term of the performance share units is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.
89


(d) For awards subject to service-based vesting, due to the lack of historical exercise and post-vesting termination patterns of the post-Merger employee base, the expected term was estimated using a simplified method for all awards granted in 2023, 2022 and 2021.

A summary of the non-vested performance share units’ activity is as follows:
(Shares in thousands) Shares Weighted-Average 
Grant Date 
Fair Value
Non-vested as of December 31, 2022 4,513.0  $ 10.44 
Granted 1,291.6  $ 17.86 
Cancelled/forfeited (324.9) $ 11.85 
Non-vested as of December 31, 2023 5,479.7  $ 12.11 

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of performance share units granted during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 was $17.86, $11.10 and $11.50.
Share Option Awards
The fair value of each share option award is estimated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes options pricing model.
Share options awarded prior to 2017 were granted subject to performance criteria based upon certain targets, such as TSR, return on capital employed, and operating income from recurring activities. Subsequent share options granted are time-based awards vesting over three years.
There were no share option awards granted in 2023, 2022 or 2021.
The following is a summary of share option transactions during the year ended December 31, 2023:
Number of Shares Weighted average exercise price Weighted average remaining life
(in years)
Balance as of December 31, 2022 1,441.2  $ 20.31  5.3
Exercised (58.7) $ 16.46 
Cancelled (57.1) $ 25.16 
Balance as of December 31, 2023 1,325.4  $ 20.27  4.3
Exercisable as of December 31, 2023 1,325.4  $ 20.27  4.3

The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options outstanding and stock options exercisable as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $1.4 million and nil, respectively.
Cash received from the share option exercises was $1.1 million, nil and nil during each of the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021. The total intrinsic value of share options exercised during each of the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 was $0.3 million, nil and nil. To exercise share options, an employee may choose (1) to pay, either directly or by way of the group savings plan, the share option strike price to obtain shares, or (2) to sell the shares immediately after having exercised the share option (in this case, the employee does not pay the strike price but instead receives the intrinsic value of the share options in cash).
The following summarizes significant ranges of outstanding and exercisable share options as of December 31, 2023:
Options Outstanding and Exercisable
Exercise Price Range Number of options

NOTE 19. RESTRUCTURING, IMPAIRMENT AND OTHER EXPENSES
Impairment, restructuring and other expenses were as follows:
Year Ended December 31,
(In millions) 2023 2022 2021
Subsea $ 4.9  $ 1.1  $ 53.5 
Surface Technologies 9.8  10.4  7.6 
Corporate and other 5.3  3.7  5.6 
Total restructuring, impairment and other expenses $ 20.0  $ 15.2  $ 66.7 

2023
During the year ended December 31, 2023, we incurred $20.0 million of restructuring, impairment and other expenses, out of which we incurred $8.2 million of restructuring and severance expenses, primarily associated with exiting operations in Canada and the closure of sites in Mexico and Angola. We also incurred restructuring charges of $3.9 million in Singapore and Argentina. We incurred $5.2 million of costs associated with the disposal of the MSB. Additionally, we incurred $1.7 million of asset impairment in the U.K.
2022
During the year ended December 31, 2022, we recorded $15.2 million of restructuring, impairment and other expenses, such as severance and employee related costs primarily associated with exiting our operations in Russia and Canada. Of this total, $4.7 million related to impairment charges for property, plant and equipment and right-of-use operating lease assets.
2021
During the year ended December 31, 2021, subsequent to the Spin-off, certain real estate rationalization actions were taken, and as a result, we recorded $49.1 million of impairment charges relating to our operating lease right-of-use assets and property, plant and equipment. We also recorded $17.6 million of restructuring and other charges, which consisted of severance and other employee related costs.

NOTE 20. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
Contingent liabilities associated with guarantees - In the ordinary course of business, we enter into standby letters of credit, performance bonds, surety bonds, and other guarantees with financial institutions for the benefit of our customers, vendors, and other parties. The majority of these financial instruments expire within five years. Management does not expect any of these financial instruments to result in losses that would have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Guarantees made by our consolidated subsidiaries consisted of the following:
(In millions) December 31, 2023
Financial guarantees (a)
$ 231.9 
Performance guarantees (b)
1,821.7 
Maximum potential undiscounted payments $ 2,053.6 
(a)Financial guarantees represent contracts that contingently require a guarantor to make payments to a guaranteed party based on changes in an underlying agreement that is related to an asset, a liability or an equity security of the guaranteed party. These tend to be drawn down only if there is a failure to fulfill our financial obligations.
(b)Performance guarantees represent contracts that contingently require a guarantor to make payments to a guaranteed party based on another entity's failure to perform under a nonfinancial obligating agreement. Events that trigger payment are performance-related, such as failure to ship a product or provide a service.

We believe the ultimate resolution of our known contingencies will not materially adversely affect our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
91


Contingent liabilities associated with legal and tax matters - We are involved in various pending or potential legal and tax actions or disputes in the ordinary course of our business. These actions and disputes can involve our agents, suppliers, clients, and venture partners, and can include claims related to payment of fees, service quality, and ownership arrangements, including certain put or call options. We are unable to predict the ultimate outcome of these actions because of their inherent uncertainty. However, we believe that the most probable, ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
The Company has resolved an anti-corruption investigation by French authorities (the Parquet National Financier (“PNF”)). On June 22, 2023, the Company, through its subsidiary Technip UK Limited, along with Technip Energies SAS, a subsidiary of Technip Energies NV, reached a resolution with the PNF of all outstanding matters, including its investigations into historical projects in Equatorial Guinea, Ghana, and Angola. The resolution took the form of a convention judiciaire d'interet public, (“CJIP”), which does not involve any admission of liability or guilt.

Under the terms of the CJIP, Technip UK and Technip Energies France will pay a public interest fine of €154.8 million and €54.1 million, respectively, for a total of €208.9 million. Under the companies’ separation agreements, TechnipFMC is responsible for €179.45 million to be paid in installments through July 2024, and Technip Energies is responsible for the remaining €29.45 million. During the three-months ended June 30, 2023, we recorded a $126.5 million liability incremental to our existing provision. After making a scheduled installment payment of €24.7 million on July 13, 2023, we have an outstanding balance of €154.8 million that is translated to $171.1 million and is recorded in other current liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023.
TechnipFMC fully cooperated with the PNF and was not required to retain a monitor. The CJIP received final approval by the President of the Tribunal Judiciaire of Paris at a hearing on June 28, 2023.
Contingent liabilities associated with liquidated damages - Some of our contracts contain provisions that require us to pay liquidated damages if we are responsible for the failure to meet specified contractual milestone dates and the applicable customer asserts a conforming claim under these provisions. These contracts define the conditions under which our customers may make claims against us for liquidated damages. Based upon the evaluation of our performance and other commercial and legal analysis, management believes we have appropriately recognized probable liquidated damages as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and that the ultimate resolution of such matters will not materially affect our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
NOTE 21. INCOME TAXES
Components of income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes - U.S. and outside U.S. components of income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes were as follows:
  Year Ended December 31,
(In millions) 2023 2022 2021
United States $ 15.2  $ (148.8) $ (288.2)
Outside United States 191.3  217.7  486.3 
Income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes $ 206.5  $ 68.9  $ 198.1 

Provision for income tax - The provision for income taxes consisted of:
  Year Ended December 31,
(In millions) 2023 2022 2021
Current
United States $ 7.3  $ (0.5) $ 0.2 
Outside United States 201.6  118.9  206.0

Total deferred income taxes (54.2) (13.0) (95.1)
Provision for income taxes $ 154.7  $ 105.4  $ 111.1 
92


Deferred tax assets and liabilities - Significant components of deferred tax assets and liabilities were as follows: 
  December 31,
(In millions) 2023 2022
Deferred tax assets attributable to
Accrued expenses $ 184.3  $ 166.8 
Capital loss 21.1  21.1 
Non-deductible interest 96.4  87.7 
Foreign tax credit carryforwards 120.4  136.5 
Other tax credits 168.0  159.2 
Net operating loss carryforwards 484.8  487.5 
Research and development credit 23.3  13.7 
Foreign exchange —  21.7 
Provisions for pensions and other long-term employee benefits 33.5  23.5 
Contingencies 54.0  45.3 
Leases 208.2  208.9 
Other 11.1  6.4 
Deferred tax assets 1,405.1  1,378.3 
Valuation allowance (917.4) (999.1)
Deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowance 487.7  379.2 
Deferred tax liabilities attributable to
Contract liabilities 24.7  23.1 
Tax on undistributed earnings not indefinitely reinvested 60.0  13.4 
Property, plant and equipment, intangibles and other assets 81.2  117.2 
Foreign exchange 41.0  — 
Leases 203.8  203.5 
Other 4.4  5.0 
Deferred tax liabilities 415.1  362.2 
Net deferred tax assets $ 72.6  $ 17.0 

At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the carrying amount of net deferred tax assets and the related valuation allowance included the impact of foreign currency translation adjustments.
Non-deductible interest. At December 31, 2023, deferred tax assets include tax benefits related to certain intercompany interest costs which are not currently deductible, but which may be deductible in future periods. If not utilized, these costs will become permanently non-deductible beginning in 2025. Management believes that it is more likely than not that we will not be able to deduct these costs before expiration of the carry forward period; therefore, we have established an uncertain tax position and valuation allowance against the related deferred tax assets.
Foreign tax credit carryforwards. At December 31, 2023, deferred tax assets included U.S. foreign tax credit carryforwards of $120.4 million, which, if not utilized, will begin to expire in 2024. Realization of these deferred tax assets is dependent on the generation of sufficient U.S. taxable income prior to the above date. Based on long-term forecasts of operating results, management believes that it is more likely than not that our U.S. earnings over the forecast period will not result in sufficient U.S. taxable income to fully realize these deferred tax assets; therefore, we have established a valuation allowance against the related deferred tax assets. In its analysis, management has considered the effect of deemed dividends and other expected adjustments to U.S. earnings that are required in determining U.S. taxable income. Non-U.S. earnings subject to U.S. tax, including deemed dividends for U.S. tax purposes, were $0.8 million in 2023, $0.3 million in 2022 and $19.5 million in 2021.
93


Net operating loss carryforwards. At December 31, 2023, we had $484.8 million of tax-effected net operating loss carryforwards, with approximately $20.1 million estimated to be utilized against our unrecognized tax benefits. The ultimate realization of these deferred tax assets depends on our ability to generate sufficient taxable income in the appropriate taxing jurisdiction. Our deferred tax assets from net operating losses will expire as follows:
(In millions) Net Operating Loss
2024 – 2027 $ 27.1 
2028 – 2032 116.8 
2033 – 2043 36.8 
Non-Expiring 304.1 
$ 484.8 

Unrecognized tax benefits - The following table presents a summary of changes in our unrecognized tax benefits: 
(In millions) Federal, State and
Foreign Tax
Balance at December 31, 2021 $ 68.8 
Reductions for tax positions related to prior years (22.8)
Additions for tax positions related to current year 16.8 
Additions for tax positions due to settlements 0.8 
Balance at December 31, 2022 63.6 
Reductions for tax positions related to prior years (19.1)
Additions for tax positions related to current year 25.1 
Reductions for tax positions due to settlements (3.5)
Balance at December 31, 2023 $ 66.1 

The amounts reported above for uncertain tax positions excludes interest and penalties of $2.8 million, $1.1 million, and $0.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively. Interest and penalties relating to these uncertain tax positions were included in income tax expense in our consolidated statements of income. It is reasonably possible that within twelve months, $6.9 million of assets for unrecognized tax benefits will be settled. This amount is reflected in income taxes payable; the remaining balance of the unrecognized tax benefit is recorded in other long-term liabilities. As of December 31, 2023, a net $43.9 million unrecognized tax benefit, without a net operating loss carryforward or other deferred tax asset to offset, would positively impact the effective tax rate and be recognized as additional tax benefits in our statement of operations if resolved in our favor.
We operate in numerous jurisdictions around the world and could be subject to multiple tax audits at any given time. Most notably, the following tax years and thereafter remain subject to examination: 2014 for Norway, 2022 for Nigeria, 2019 for Brazil, 2021 for France, 2019 for United States, and 2021 for United Kingdom.
TechnipFMC plc is a public limited company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales. Therefore, our earnings are subject to the U.K. statutory rate which is 25.0% effective April 2023, and 19.0% for both 2022 and 2021. Deferred taxes for the U.K. were revalued in 2021 when the law was enacted.

94


Effective income tax rate reconciliation - The effective income tax rate was different from the statutory U.K. income tax rate due to the following:
  Year Ended December 31,
  2023 2022 2021
Statutory income tax rate 25.0  % 19.0  % 19.0  %
Net difference resulting from
Foreign earnings subject to different tax rates 70.1  % 114.0  % 24.4  %
Adjustments to prior year taxes 34.2  % (56.5) % (52.4) %
Net change in unrecognized tax benefits (0.1) % 7.4  % 12.3  %
Changes in valuation allowance (53.1) % 100.1  % 65.4  %
Deferred tax asset/liability revaluation for tax rate change (0.6) % (29.0) % (12.2) %
Other (0.6) % (1.9) % (0.4) %
Effective income tax rate 74.9  % 153.1  % 56.1  %
(1) In 2023 our effective tax rate had a (53.1%) benefit related to changes in valuation allowances. This primarily was related to the release of a valuation allowance in Brazil based on the weight of positive evidence demonstrating the ability to realize its deferred tax assets, which are primarily indefinite-lived net operating losses. Our effective tax rate also shows an expense of 34.2% related to adjustments to prior year taxes. This amount includes expenses associated with expiring tax attributes. These tax attributes were fully valued, and the valuation allowance movement and attributed expirations are shown gross in the effective tax rate table above. The expiration did not have a net impact on tax expense.

Income tax holidays. We did not benefit from income tax holidays in 2023.

NOTE 22. PENSION AND OTHER POST-RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS
We have funded and unfunded defined benefit pension plans, which provide defined benefits based on years of service and final average salary.
On December 31, 2017, we amended the U.S. retirement plans (the “Plans”) to freeze benefit accruals for all participants of the Plans as of December 31, 2017. After that date, participants in the Plans will no longer accrue any further benefits and participants’ benefits under the Plans will be determined based on credited service and eligible earnings as of December 31, 2017.
Foreign-based employees are eligible to participate in TechnipFMC-sponsored or government-sponsored benefit plans to which we contribute. Several of the foreign defined benefit pension plans sponsored by us provide for employee contributions; the remaining plans are noncontributory. The most significant of these plans are in the Netherlands, France, and the United Kingdom.
We have other post-retirement benefit plans covering substantially all of our U.S. unionized employees. The post-retirement health care plans are contributory; the post-retirement life insurance plans are noncontributory.
We are required to recognize the funded status of defined benefit post-retirement plans as an asset or liability in the consolidated balance sheet and recognize changes in that funded status in comprehensive income (loss) in the year in which the changes occur. Further, we are required to measure the plan’s assets and its obligations that determine its funded status as of the date of the consolidated balance sheet. We have applied this guidance to our domestic pension and other post-retirement benefit plans as well as for many of our non-U.S. plans, including those in the United Kingdom, Germany, France and Canada. Pension expense measured in compliance with GAAP for the other non-U.S. pension plans is not materially different from the locally reported pension expense.
The funded status of our U.S. Pension Plans, certain foreign pension plans and U.S. post-retirement health care and life insurance benefit plans, together with the associated balances recognized in our consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, were as follows:

Our estimate of expected rate of return on plan assets is based on the historical performance of plan assets, current market conditions, our asset allocation and long-term growth expectations.
Plan assets - We actively monitor how the duration, and the expected yield of the investments are matching the expected cash outflows arising from the pension obligations. We have not changed the processes used to manage its risks from previous periods. Investments are well diversified, such that the failure of any single investment would not have a material impact on the overall level of assets. Our pension investment strategy emphasizes maximizing returns consistent with balancing risk. Excluding our international plans with insurance-based investments, 98.5% of our total pension plan assets represent the U.S. qualified plan and the U.K. plan. These plans are primarily invested in equity securities to maximize the long-term returns of the plans. The investment managers of these assets, including the hedge funds and limited partnerships, use Graham and Dodd fundamental investment analysis to select securities that have a margin of safety between the price of the security and the estimated value of the security. This value-oriented approach tends to mitigate the risk of a large equity allocation.
The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for the pension plan assets. There have been no changes in the methodologies used as of December 31, 2023 and 2022.
•Cash and cash equivalents are valued at cost, which approximates fair value.
•Current receivables are valued at cost, which approximates at fair value.
•Equity securities are comprised of common stock and preferred stock. The fair values of equity securities are valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the securities are traded.
•Fair values of registered investment companies and common/collective trusts are valued based on quoted market prices, which represent the net asset value (“NAV”) of shares held. Registered investment companies include investments in emerging market bonds. Common/collective trusts primarily includes money market instruments with short maturities.
•Insurance contracts are valued at book value, which approximates fair value, and is calculated using the prior-year balance plus or minus investment returns and changes in cash flows.
•The fair values of hedge funds are valued using the NAV as determined by the administrator or custodian of the fund. The funds primarily invest in U.S. and international equities, debt securities and other hedge funds.
•The fair values of limited partnerships are valued using the NAV as determined by the administrator or custodian of the fund. The partnerships primarily invest in U.S. and international equities and debt securities.
•Real estate and other investments consist of real estate investment trusts and other investments. These investments are measured at quoted market prices, which represent the NAV of the securities held in such funds at year end.

Savings plans - The TechnipFMC Retirement Savings Plan (“Qualified Plan”), a qualified salary reduction plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, is a defined contribution plan. Additionally, we have a non-qualified deferred compensation plan, the Non-Qualified Plan, which allows certain highly compensated employees the option to defer the receipt of a portion of their salary. We match a portion of the participants’ deferrals to both plans. Both plans relate to FMC Technologies, Inc.
Participants in the Non-Qualified Plan earn a return based on hypothetical investments in the same options as our 401(k) plan. Changes in the market value of these participant investments are reflected as an adjustment to the deferred compensation liability with an offset to other income (expense), net. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, our liability for the Non-Qualified Plan was $23.0 million and $18.5 million, respectively, and was recorded in other liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. We hedge the financial impact of changes in the participants’ hypothetical investments by purchasing the investments that the participants have chosen. Changes in the fair value of these investments are recognized as an offset to other income (expense), net in our consolidated statements of income. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, we had investments for the Non-Qualified Plan totaling $23.0 million and $18.5 million at fair market value, respectively.
During the years ended December 31, 2023, and 2022 we recognized expense of $21.1 million and $19.8 million, respectively for matching contributions to these plans in 2023 and 2022, respectively. Additionally, during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, we recognized expense of $4.4 million and $8.7 million, respectively, for non-elective contributions.
NOTE 23. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
For purposes of mitigating the effect of changes in exchange rates, we hold derivative financial instruments to hedge the risks of certain identifiable and anticipated transactions and recorded assets and liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. The types of risks hedged are those relating to the variability of future earnings and cash flows caused by movements in foreign currency exchange rates. Our policy is to hold derivatives only for the purpose of hedging risks associated with anticipated foreign currency purchases and sales created in the normal course of business, and not for speculative purposes.
Generally, we enter into hedging relationships such that changes in the fair values or cash flows of the transactions being hedged are expected to be offset by corresponding changes in the fair value of the derivatives. For derivative instruments that qualify as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the gain or loss of the derivative, which does not include the time value component of a forward currency rate, is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. For derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments, any change in the fair value of those instruments is reflected in earnings in the period such change occurs.
We hold the following types of derivative instruments:
Foreign exchange rate forward contracts – The purpose of these instruments is to hedge the risk of changes in future cash flows of anticipated purchase or sale commitments denominated in foreign currencies and recorded assets and liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2023, we held the following material net positions:

Cash flow hedges of forecasted transactions, net of tax, which qualify for hedge accounting, resulted in accumulated other comprehensive gains (losses) of $19.5 million and $(18.7) million as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. We expect to transfer an approximately $25.6 million gain from accumulated OCI to earnings during the next 12 months when the anticipated transactions actually occur. All anticipated transactions currently being hedged are expected to occur by the second half of 2027.

Equity securities - The fair value measurement of our traded securities is based on quoted prices that we have the ability to access in public markets.
Money market and Stable value funds - These funds are valued at the net asset value of the shares held at the end of the year, which is based on the fair value of the underlying investments using information reported by our investment advisor at quarter-end. These funds include fixed income and other investments measured at fair value. Certain investments that are measured at fair value using net asset value per share (or its equivalent) have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy.
Held-to-maturity debt securities - Held-to-maturity debt securities consist of government bonds. These investments are stated at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.
Derivative financial instruments - We use the income approach as the valuation technique to measure the fair value of foreign currency derivative instruments on a recurring basis. This approach calculates the present value of the future cash flow by measuring the change from the derivative contract rate and the published market indicative currency rate, multiplied by the contract notional values. Credit risk is then incorporated by reducing the derivative’s fair value in asset positions by the result of multiplying the present value of the portfolio by the counterparty’s published credit spread. Portfolios in a liability position are adjusted by the same calculation; however, a spread representing our credit spread is used. Our credit spread, and the credit spread of other counterparties not publicly available, are approximated by using the spread of similar companies in the same industry, of similar size and with the same credit rating.
We currently have no credit-risk-related contingent features in our agreements with the financial institutions that would require us to post collateral for derivative positions in a liability position. See Note 23 for further details.
Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements
Fair value of long-lived, non-financial assets - Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that carrying amounts of such assets may not be recoverable.
104


We did not record any material impairments during the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. The following summarizes impairments of long-lived assets and related post-impairment fair value for the year ended December 31, 2021:
Year Ended December 31, 2021
(In millions) Impairment Fair Value
Long-lived assets(a)
$ 49.1  $ 25.5 
(a)Measuring these asset groups for recoverability required the use of unobservable inputs that require significant judgment. Such judgments include expected future asset utilization while taking into account reduced future capital spending by certain customers in response to market conditions.

Other fair value disclosures
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, accounts payable, short-term debt, debt associated with our bank borrowings, credit facilities, as well as amounts included in other current assets and other current liabilities that meet the definition of financial instruments, approximate fair value.
Fair value of debt - We use a market approach to determine the fair value of our fixed-rate debt using observable market data, which results in a Level 2 fair value measurement. The estimated fair value of our private placement notes and senior notes was $683.4 million and $916.3 million as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
Credit risk - By their nature, financial instruments involve risk, including credit risk, for non-performance by counterparties. Financial instruments that potentially subject us to credit risk consist of trade receivables and derivative contracts. We manage the credit risk on financial instruments by transacting only with what management believes are financially secure counterparties, requiring credit approvals and credit limits and monitoring counterparties’ financial condition. Our maximum exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the counterparty is limited to the amount drawn and outstanding on the financial instrument. Allowances for losses on trade receivables are established based on collectability assessments. We mitigate credit risk on derivative contracts by executing contracts only with counterparties that consent to a master netting agreement, which permits the net settlement of gross derivative assets against gross derivative liabilities.
NOTE 25. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
The Spin-off
On February 16, 2021, we completed our separation of the Technip Energies business segment. The transaction was structured as a spin-off, which occurred by way of a pro rata dividend (the “Distribution”) to our shareholders of 50.1% of the outstanding shares in Technip Energies N.V. Each of our shareholders received one ordinary share of Technip Energies N.V. for every five ordinary shares of TechnipFMC held at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, on the record date, February 17, 2021. Immediately following the completion of the Spin-off, we owned 49.9% of the outstanding shares of Technip Energies. As of June 30, 2022, we have fully divested our remaining ownership stake.
In connection with the Spin-off, TechnipFMC and Technip Energies entered into a separation and distribution agreement, as well as various other agreements, including, among others, a tax matters agreement, an employee matters agreement and a transition services agreement and certain agreements relating to intellectual property. These agreements provide for the allocation between TechnipFMC and Technip Energies of assets, employees, taxes, liabilities and obligations attributable to periods prior to, at and after the Spin-off.
Discontinued Operations
The Spin-off represented a strategic shift that had a major impact on our operations and consolidated financial statements. Historical results of Technip Energies prior to the Distribution on February 16, 2021 have been presented as discontinued operations in our consolidated statements of income and consolidated statements of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2021. Our consolidated statements of income and consolidated statements of cash flows and notes to the consolidated financial statements have been updated to reflect continuing operations only.
105


The following table summarizes the components of loss from discontinued operations:
(In millions) 2022 2021
Revenue $ —  $ 906.0 
Costs and expenses (26.4) (932.0)
Other income and (expense), net —  (18.6)
Loss from discontinued operations before income taxes $ (26.4) $ (44.6)
Income tax expense 18.9  28.0 
Loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes $ (45.3) $ (72.6)

For the year ended December 31, 2022, we recorded $26.4 million, in expense from discontinued operations due to a change in estimate of liabilities recognized in connection with the Spin-off. Also, for the year ended December 31, 2022, we recorded $18.9 million, in income tax expense from discontinued operations related to a change in estimate in the French tax group.
NOTE 26. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On February 20, 2024, the Company announced that its Board of Directors has authorized and declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share, payable on April 3, 2024 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on the New York Stock Exchange on March 19, 2024. The ex-dividend date is March 18, 2024.

TechnipFMC
Supplemental Retirement Savings Plan

Article I
Introduction
Section 1.1    Name; Purpose. The Company previously established the TechnipFMC Supplemental Retirement Savings Plan (formerly known as the TechnipFMC Non-Qualified Retirement Savings Plan and the FMC Technologies, Inc. Non-Qualified Savings and Investment Plan) (the “Plan”), which was originally effective as of September 28, 2001. The Plan has since been amended, and was most recently amended and restated, effective January 1, 2022. Although a rabbi trust may be established in connection with the Plan, the Plan constitutes an unfunded, non-qualified arrangement providing deferred compensation to a select group of management or highly compensated employees (as defined for purposes of Title I of ERISA) of the Company and of certain of the Company’s affiliates. Effective January 1, 2024, the Plan is hereby amended and restated as set forth herein.
Section 1.2    Administration of the Plan. The Plan is administered by the Company or, as delegated by the Board, by the Committee. The duties and authority of the Committee include:

(c)    making whatever determinations are permitted or required to maintain or administer the Plan; and
(d)    taking any other actions that prove necessary to administer the Plan properly, in accordance with its terms.
Any decision of the Committee as to any matter within its authority will be final, binding and conclusive upon the Company, any Employer and each Participant, former Participant, designated beneficiary or other person claiming under or through any Participant or designated beneficiary. No additional authorization or ratification by the Board is necessary for the Committee to act on any matter within its authority. An action taken by the Committee as to a Participant will not be binding on the Committee regarding an action to be taken as to any other Participant. A member of the Committee may be a Participant, but he or she may not participate in any decision that directly affects his or her rights under the Plan, or the computation of his or her Plan benefits. Each determination required or permitted under the Plan will be made by the Committee in its sole and absolute discretion. The Committee may delegate some or all of its duties or responsibilities.

Notwithstanding the preceding to the contrary, effective on and after January 1, 2024, Employer Contributions credited to a Participant with respect to a particular Plan Year shall be credited to the Participant’s applicable Employer Contributions Class Year Account.
Section 5.3    Nonelective Contributions. With respect to each Plan Year for which an employee (a) remains an eligible employee, (b) satisfies the conditions of Article III for such Plan Year, (c) makes Deferral Contributions pursuant to Section 4.1, and (d) remains either (i) an active employee of the Company or (ii) an employee on a Company-approved leave of absence of the Company, as of December 31 of such Plan Year, the Participant will be credited with a Nonelective Contribution in an amount as shall be determined by the Company, in its discretion (which amount may be $-0-), provided such Nonelective Contribution for a particular Plan Year shall be made only if the Participant has elected to defer, and does defer, the maximum amount of Compensation under the Savings Plan that is eligible to receive matching contributions under the Savings Plan for such Plan Year.

The Plan Investment Committee will establish rules governing the dates as of which amounts will be deemed to be invested in the Permitted Investments chosen by the Participant, and the time and manner in which amounts will be deemed to be transferred from one Permitted Investment to another, pursuant to a Participant’s election to change his or her deemed investments. The Plan Investment Committee will also establish a default Permitted Investment, in which the Deferral Contributions Account, Deferral Contributions Class Year Account, Employer Contributions Account, Employer Contributions Class Year Account, Nonelective Contributions Account and Nonelective Contributions Class Year Account of a Participant who fails to make an investment election will be deemed to be invested. The Plan Investment Committee’s Plan investment election rules permit a Participant to transfer any or all of his or her Account or applicable Class Year Account from one investment option to another investment option.
(b)    Each Account and Class Year Account will be deemed to receive all interest, dividends, earnings and other property that would be received by it if it were actually invested in the Permitted Investment in which it is deemed to be invested. Similarly, each Account and Class Year Account will be deemed to suffer all investment losses and other diminutions it would suffer if it were actually invested in the Permitted Investment in which it is deemed to be invested. Gains and losses will be credited to or debited from each Account and Class Year Account at the times and in the manner specified by the Plan Investment Committee.
(c)    Elections required or permitted to be made pursuant to this Article VI must be made only by the Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Participant dies before his or her entire Account Balance is distributed, or if the Committee determines that a Participant is legally incompetent or otherwise incapable of managing his or her own affairs, the Committee may itself make Plan elections on behalf of the Participant, or may declare that the Participant’s designated beneficiary, legal representative or near relative will be permitted to make Plan elections on behalf of the Participant.
(d)    Neither the Company nor the Plan need make any Permitted Investment. If, from time to time, the Company actually makes an investment similar to a Permitted Investment, that investment will be solely for the Company’s own account, and the Participant will have no right, title or interest in that investment. Each Participant has only the rights of an unsecured creditor of the Company or any Employer, as to any amount owing to him or her under the Plan.
Section 6.2 Crediting of Deferrals and Contributions. The Company will credit all deemed Deferral Contributions to a Participant’s Deferral Contributions Account (effective on and after January 1, 2024, the Participant’s applicable Deferral Contributions Class Year Account) within a reasonable period of time after the date they would have been paid to the Participant if the Participant had not elected to defer them.

The assets and income of any trust established under this Plan will be subject to the claims of the Company’s general creditors, and the Employers’ general creditors, but only to the extent such assets are attributable to the contributions made on behalf of employees employed by such Employer.
The establishment or maintenance of a Plan trust will not affect the Employers’ liability to pay Plan benefits, except as and to the extent amounts from the trust are actually used to pay a Participant’s Plan benefits. If the Company does establish a trust under the Plan, the Company will determine how much will be contributed to the trust and when, and trust assets will be invested in accordance with the terms of the trust.
Section 7.1    Status of Trust. A Participant will have no direct or secured claim in any asset of the trust, or in specific assets of the Company or of his or her Employer, and will have the status of a general unsecured creditor of his or her Employer, for any amounts due under this Plan.

The Participant shall be permitted to change any such election in accordance with the requirements of Section 8.2(e).

(d)    Payment to the Participant of the lump sum or installments shall commence as soon as administratively possible, but in any event no later than 90 days following Separation From Service for any reason. Notwithstanding a Participant’s election to the contrary, payment to the Participant’s beneficiary shall be made in a single lump sum payment, such lump sum payment to be made within 90 days following the Participant’s date of death. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except for payments made upon separation due to death, no payments shall he made to a Participant who is a “specified employee” (as defined in Code Section 409A) of the Affiliated Group until on or after the first day of the seventh calendar month following the Participant’s Separation From Service, and any amounts required to be so delayed shall be paid in the form of a lump sum on the first day of the seventh calendar month following the Participant’s Separation From Service. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, if a separated Participant’s vested Account Balance, in the aggregate, is not greater than $10,000, then such aggregated Account Balance shall be paid to the Participant in a lump sum within 90 days following Separation From Service.
(e)    A Participant may change the form and time of payment that he or she previously elected, by notice filed with the Administrator provided:

Section 8.3    Payments in the Event of Unforeseeable Emergency. A Participant may request, in the manner and within the time constraints established by the Committee, to receive an emergency payment of some or all of his or her vested Account Balance. The Committee will authorize an emergency payment under this Section 8.3 only if the Participant experiences an unforeseeable emergency consistent with the rules promulgated pursuant to Section 409A of the Code. An emergency payment must be limited to the amount the Participant reasonably needs to satisfy the unforeseeable emergency. An unforeseeable emergency is severe financial hardship to the Participant resulting from:
(a)    a sudden and unexpected illness or accident to the Participant or to his or her dependent (as defined in Code Section 152(a)); or
(b)    the Participant’s losing his or her property due to casualty.
Whether a Participant suffers an unforeseeable emergency depends upon the facts of each case; in no event, however, may the Participant receive an emergency payment if his or her hardship is or may be relieved through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise, by liquidation of the Participant’s assets (to the extent liquidation of those assets would not itself cause severe financial hardship) or by ceasing to make deferrals under the Plan. The need to send a Participant’s child to college or the desire to purchase a home are not unforeseeable emergencies.
Section 8.4    Forfeitures. The portion of a Participant’s Nonelective Contributions Account or Nonelective Contributions Class Year Accounts that is not fully vested will be forfeited if the requirements for vesting under Section 8.1 of the Plan are not satisfied.
Section 8.5    Designation of Beneficiaries. Each Participant may name any person or persons to whom his or her vested Account Balance will be paid if the Participant dies before they have been fully distributed. Each beneficiary designation will revoke all prior beneficiary designations made by that Participant. The Committee will designate the time and manner in which a Participant must made a beneficiary designation, but will not require a Participant to obtain the consent of his or her current beneficiary to the naming a new or additional beneficiaries. A beneficiary designation will be effective only if it meets the requirements specified by the Committee. If a Participant fails to designate a beneficiary, or if the Participant’s beneficiary dies before the Participant does or before receiving the full amount to which he or she is entitled, the Committee may, in its discretion, pay the vested portion of the Participant’s Account Balance (or the portion that remains unpaid) to one or more of the Participant’s relatives by blood, adoption or marriage, in the proportions it determines, or to the legal representative of the estate of the later to die of the Participant and his or her designated beneficiary.

The proceeds of the Revolving Loans on and after the Effective Date will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes (including consummating the Transactions and paying Transaction Costs). Letters of Credit will be used by the Borrowers and the Restricted Subsidiaries for general corporate purposes. The Lenders are willing to extend such credit to the Borrowers, and the Issuing Banks are willing to issue Letters of Credit for the account of each Borrower, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

Whenever the context may require, any pronoun shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms. The words “include,” “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation.” The word “will” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect as the word “shall.” Unless the context requires otherwise or except as expressly provided herein, (a) any definition of or reference to any agreement, instrument or other document herein shall be construed as referring to such agreement, instrument or other document as from time to time amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified (subject to any restrictions on such amendments, supplements or modifications set forth in the Loan Documents), (b) any definition of or reference to any statute, rule or regulation shall be construed as referring thereto as from time to time amended, supplemented or otherwise modified (including by succession of comparable successor laws), unless otherwise expressly stated to the contrary, (c) any reference herein to any Person shall be construed to include such Person’s successors and assigns, (d) the words “herein,” “hereof” and “hereunder,” and words of similar import, shall be construed to refer to this Agreement in its entirety and not to any particular provision hereof, (e) all references herein to Articles, Sections, Exhibits and Schedules shall be construed to refer to Articles and Sections of, and Exhibits and Schedules to, this Agreement and (f) the words “asset” and “property” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect and to refer to any and all tangible and intangible assets and properties, including cash, securities, accounts and contract rights.

63 SECTION 1.05. Pro Forma Calculations. With respect to any period during which (a) any acquisition permitted by this Agreement or (b) any sale, transfer or other disposition of (i) any Equity Interests in a Subsidiary or (ii) all or substantially all the assets of a Subsidiary or division or line of business of a Subsidiary outside the ordinary course of business, occurs, for purposes of determining compliance with the covenants contained in Sections 6.04(t), 6.08(a)(vi), 6.12, 6.13 and 6.14 or otherwise for purposes of determining the Total Leverage Ratio, Consolidated Interest Expense, First Lien Leverage Ratio, Consolidated Total Assets and Consolidated EBITDA, calculations with respect to such period shall be made on a Pro Forma Basis. SECTION 1.06. Exchange Rates; Currency Equivalents. (a) Not later than 1:00 p.m., New York time, on each Revaluation Date, the Administrative Agent shall (x) determine the Exchange Rate as of such Revaluation Date with respect to each applicable Alternative Currency and (y) give notice thereof to each applicable Issuing Bank and the Company. The Exchange Rates so determined shall become effective (i) in the case of the initial Revaluation Date, on the Effective Date and (ii) in the case of each subsequent Revaluation Date, on the first Business Day immediately following such Revaluation Date (a “Reset Date”), shall remain effective until the next succeeding Reset Date, and shall for all purposes of this Agreement (other than any provision expressly requiring the use of a current exchange rate) be the Exchange Rates employed in converting any amounts between dollars and any Alternative Currency. (b) Solely for purposes of Article II and related definitional provisions to the extent used therein, the applicable amount of any currency (other than dollars) for purposes of the Loan Documents shall be such Dollar Equivalent amount as determined by the Administrative Agent and notified to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Company in accordance with Section 1.06(a). If any basket is exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in the applicable Exchange Rate after the last time such basket was utilized, such basket will not be deemed to have been exceeded solely as a result of such fluctuations in the applicable Exchange Rate. Amounts denominated in an Alternative Currency will be converted to dollars for the purposes of (A) testing the Financial Covenants, at the Exchange Rate as of the last day of the fiscal quarter for which such measurement is being made, and (B) calculating the Interest Coverage Ratio and the Total Leverage Ratio (other than for purposes of determining compliance with the Financial Covenants), at the Exchange Rate as of the date of calculation, and will, in the case of Indebtedness, reflect the currency translation effects, determined in accordance with GAAP, of Hedging Agreements permitted hereunder for currency exchange risks with respect to the applicable currency in effect on the date of determination of the Dollar Equivalent of such Indebtedness. (c) For purposes of Section 6.01, the amount of any Indebtedness denominated in any currency other than dollars shall be calculated based on the applicable Exchange Rate, in the case of such Indebtedness incurred or committed, on the date that such Indebtedness was incurred or committed, as applicable; provided that if such Indebtedness is incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a currency other than dollars, and such refinancing would cause the applicable dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the applicable Exchange Rate on the date of such refinancing, such dollar-denominated restrictions shall be


 
64 deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such Refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the sum of (i) the outstanding or committed principal amount, as applicable, of such Indebtedness being refinanced plus (ii) the aggregate amount of fees, underwriting discounts, premiums and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with such refinancing. (d) For purposes of Sections 6.02, 6.04, 6.05 and 6.08, the amount of any Liens, investments, asset sales and Restricted Payments, as applicable, denominated in any currency other than dollars shall be calculated based on the applicable Exchange Rate. SECTION 1.07. Divisions. For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person, and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized and acquired on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Equity Interests at such time. SECTION 1.08. Interest Rates; LIBOR Notification. The interest rate on a Loan denominated in dollars or an Alternative Currency may be derived from an interest rate benchmark that is, or may in the future become, the subject of regulatory reform. Regulators have signaled the need to use alternative benchmark reference rates for some of these interest rate benchmarks and, as a result, such interest rate benchmarks may cease to comply with applicable laws and regulations, may be permanently discontinued, and/or the basis on which they are calculated may change. The London interbank offered rate is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. In July 2017, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority announced that, after the end of 2021, it would no longer persuade or compel contributing banks to make rate submissions to the ICE Benchmark Administration (together with any successor to the ICE Benchmark Administrator, the “IBA”) for purposes of the IBA setting the London interbank offered rate. As a result, it is possible that commencing in 2022, the London interbank offered rate may no longer be available or may no longer be deemed an appropriate reference rate upon which to determine the interest rate on Eurocurrency Loans. In light of this eventuality, public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of the London interbank offered rate. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event, a Term ESTR Transition Event or an Early Opt-In Election, Sections 2.14(b) and 2.14(c) provide a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Company, pursuant to Section 2.14(e), of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on Eurocurrency Loans is based. However, the Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to the London interbank offered rate or other rates in the definition of “LIBO Rate” (or “EURIBOR Rate”, as applicable) or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof (including, without limitation, (i) any such alternative, successor or replacement rate implemented pursuant to Sections 2.14(b) or 2.14(c), whether upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event, a Term ESTR Transition Event or an Early Opt-In Election and (ii) the implementation of any


 
65 Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes pursuant to Section 2.14(d)), including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the LIBO Rate (or the EURIBOR Rate, as applicable) or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank offered rate (or the euro interbank offered rate, as applicable) prior to its discontinuance or unavailability. SECTION 1.09. Dutch Terms. In this Agreement where it relates to a Dutch person or entity, a reference to: (a) “The Netherlands” means the European part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands and Dutch means in or of The Netherlands; (b) an “administrator” includes a bewindvoerder and a beoogd bewindvoerder; (c) a “receiver” or an “administrative receiver” does not include a curator or bewindvoerder; and (d) an “attachment” includes a beslag and a “prejudicial attachment” includes a conservatoir beslag; (e) “gross negligence” means, where Dutch law is applicable, grove schuld; (f) a moratorium includes surseance van betaling and granted a moratorium includes surseance verleend; (g) “insolvency” includes a bankruptcy and moratorium; (h) “negligence” means, where Dutch law is applicable, schuld; (i) any authorization by all necessary corporate or other organizational action, where applicable, includes without limitation (i) any action required to comply with the Dutch Works Council Act (Wet op de ondernemingsraden) or (ii) obtaining an advice (advies) from each competent works council according to which the entrepreneur (ondernemer) can pursue with the transactions contemplated; (j) a “subsidiary” includes a ‘dochtermaatschappij’ within the meaning of section 2:24a of the Dutch Civil Code (Burgerlijk Wetboek) (regardless of whether the shares or voting rights in the shares in such company are held directly or indirectly through another ‘dochtermaatschappij’); (k) a “security interest” includes any mortgage (hypotheek), pledge (pandrecht), retention of title arrangement (eigendomsvoorbehoud), privilege (voorrecht), right of retention (recht van retentie), right to reclaim goods (recht van reclame), and, in general, any right in rem (beperkt recht) created for the purpose of granting security (goederenrechtelijk zekerheidsrecht); (l) any “procedure” or “step” taken in connection with insolvency proceedings includes a Dutch entity having filed notice under section 36 of the Netherlands Tax Collection


 
66 Act 1990 (Invorderingswet 1990), section 60 of the Social Insurance Financing Act of the Netherlands (Wet Financiering Sociale Verzekeringen) in conjunction with section 36 of the Tax Collection Act of the Netherlands (Invorderingswet 1990) or public and/or undisclosed preventive restructuring processes within the meaning of the second part (Tweede afdeling) of the Dutch Bankruptcy Act (Failissementswet) (sections 369 et seq.); (m) a “trustee in bankruptcy” includes a curator; (n) a “liquidator” includes a curator; (o) “willful misconduct” means, where Dutch law is applicable, opzet; and (p) a “winding-up”, “liquidation”, “administration” or “dissolution” (and any of those terms) includes a Dutch entity being declared bankrupt (failliet verklaard) or dissolved (ontbonden).

(a) Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans of the same Type made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required.

If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurocurrency Borrowing, then such Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. If no currency is specified with respect to any requested Revolving Loan, the Company shall be deemed to have selected dollars. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.

A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, (i) the LC Exposure shall not exceed $450,000,000, (ii) the Total Revolving Exposure shall not exceed the Total Commitments, (iii) the aggregate amount of Letters of Credit issued by any Issuing Bank shall not exceed its Specified LC Sublimit and (iv) no Lender’s Revolving Exposure shall exceed its Commitment. Each Issuing Bank agrees that it shall not permit any issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit to occur unless it shall have given to the Administrative Agent written notice thereof as required under paragraph (l) of this Section. (c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date that is one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date; provided, however, that (x) any Letter of Credit may, upon the request of a Borrower, include a provision whereby such Letter of Credit shall be renewed automatically for additional consecutive periods of one year or less (but not beyond the date that is five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date unless such Letter of Credit is cash collateralized or backstopped pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the relevant Issuing Bank) unless the applicable Issuing Bank notifies the beneficiary thereof at least 30 days prior to the then-applicable expiration date that such Letter of Credit will not be renewed and (y) any Issuing Bank may agree to issue a Letter of Credit with expiry date beyond the date set forth in clause (i) in its sole discretion (but not beyond the date that is five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date unless such Letter of Credit is cash collateralized or backstopped pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the relevant Issuing Bank). (d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the Issuing Bank that is the issuer of such Letter of Credit hereby grants to each Revolving Lender, and each Revolving Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the applicable Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to such Borrower for any reason. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit, the occurrence and continuance of a Default or any reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or


 
70 reduction whatsoever. Each Revolving Lender further acknowledges and agrees that, in issuing, amending, renewing or extending any Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank shall be entitled to rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon the representation and warranty of a Borrower deemed made pursuant to Section 4.02 unless, at least one Business Day prior to the time such Letter of Credit is issued, amended, renewed or extended (or, in the case of an automatic renewal permitted pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, at least one Business Day prior to the time by which the election not to extend must be made by the applicable Issuing Bank), the Required Lenders shall have notified the applicable Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in writing that, as a result of one or more events or circumstances described in such notice, one or more of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02(a) or 4.02(b) would not be satisfied if such Letter of Credit were then issued, amended, renewed or extended (it being understood and agreed that, in the event any Issuing Bank shall have received any such notice, no Issuing Bank shall have any obligation to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit until and unless it shall be satisfied that the events and circumstances described in such notice shall have been cured or otherwise shall have ceased to exist). (e) Reimbursement. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, then the applicable Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than (i) if such Borrower shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 12:00 noon, Local Time, on any Business Day, then 5:00 p.m., Local Time, on such Business Day, or (ii) otherwise, 10:00 a.m., Local Time, on the Business Day immediately following the day that such Borrower receives such notice; provided that, unless such Borrower has notified the applicable Issuing Bank that it will reimburse such LC Disbursement by the required date and time, such Borrower shall, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, be deemed to have requested, and such Borrower does hereby request in such event that such payment be financed with an ABR Revolving Borrowing in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, such Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing. In the case of any such reimbursement in dollars with respect to a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, the applicable Issuing Bank shall notify such Borrower of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the draft so paid promptly following the determination thereof. If such Borrower fails to reimburse any LC Disbursement by the time specified above in this paragraph, then the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender, as the case may be, of the applicable LC Disbursement, the currency and amount of the payment then due from such Borrower in respect thereof and such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof, as applicable. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the amount then due from such Borrower in the currency of the applicable LC Disbursement, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders under this paragraph), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the applicable Revolving Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from a Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Revolving Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an


 
71 Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of an ABR Revolving Borrowing as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the applicable Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement. (f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrowers’ obligations to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision thereof or hereof, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by an Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, a Borrower’s obligations hereunder. None of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or any of their Related Parties shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit, any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the applicable Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse any Issuing Bank from liability to a Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by a Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of an Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable judgment), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, an Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit, and any such acceptance or refusal shall be deemed not to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct. (g) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank for any Letter of Credit shall, within the time allowed by applicable law or the specific terms of the Letter of Credit following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under such Letter of Credit. Such Issuing Bank shall promptly after such examination notify the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy or electronic mail) of such demand for payment if such Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall


 
72 not relieve the applicable Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Revolving Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement in accordance with paragraph (e) of this Section. (h) Interim Interest. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the applicable Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the such Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement in full, at (i) in the case of any LC Disbursement denominated in dollars, the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans and (ii) in the case of an LC Disbursement denominated in any Alternative Currency, a rate per annum determined by the applicable Issuing Bank (which determination will be conclusive absent manifest error) to represent its cost of funds plus the Applicable Rate used to determine interest applicable to Eurocurrency Revolving Loans; provided that, if the applicable Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement in full when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.13(cd) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be paid to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment, and shall be payable on demand or, if no demand has been made, on the date on which the applicable Borrower reimburses the applicable LC Disbursement in full. (i) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day on which the Company receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, the Borrowers shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders, an amount in cash and in the currency of each applicable Letter of Credit equal to the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to any Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of Section 7.01. The Borrowers also shall deposit cash collateral in accordance with this paragraph as and to the extent required by Section 2.11(b) or 2.20(c). Each such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrowers’ risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Notwithstanding the terms of any Security Document, moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Banks for LC Disbursements for which they have not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrowers for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to (i) the consent of the Required Lenders and (ii) in the case of any such application at a time when any Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender (but only if, after giving effect thereto, the remaining cash collateral shall be less than the aggregate LC Exposure of all the Defaulting Lenders), the


 
73 consent of each Issuing Bank), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement. If the Borrowers are required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrowers within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived. If the Borrowers are required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder pursuant to Section 2.11(b), such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrowers to the extent that, after giving effect to such return, the Total Revolving Exposure would not exceed the Total Commitments and no Default shall have occurred and be continuing. If the Borrowers are required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder pursuant to Section 2.11(c), such amount shall be returned to the Borrowers to the extent that, after giving effect to such return, the Consolidated Cash Balance as of the end of the month would not exceed $225,000,000. If the Borrowers are required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder pursuant to Section 2.20(c), such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrowers to the extent that, after giving effect to such return, no Issuing Bank shall have any exposure in respect of any outstanding Letter of Credit that is not fully covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or the remaining cash collateral and no Default shall have occurred and be continuing. (j) Designation of Additional Issuing Banks. The Company may, at any time and from time to time, with the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), designate as additional Issuing Banks one or more Revolving Lenders that agree to serve in such capacity as provided below. The acceptance by a Revolving Lender of an appointment as an Issuing Bank hereunder shall be evidenced by an agreement, which shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, executed by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and such designated Revolving Lender and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, (i) such Revolving Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank, as applicable, under this Agreement and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to include such Revolving Lender in its capacity as an issuer of Letters of Credit hereunder. (k) Termination or Resignation of an Issuing Bank. The Borrowers may terminate the appointment of any Issuing Bank as an “Issuing Bank” hereunder by providing a written notice thereof to such Issuing Bank, with a copy to the Administrative Agent. Any such termination shall become effective upon the earlier of (i) such Issuing Bank acknowledging receipt of such notice and (ii) the tenth Business Day following the date of the delivery thereof; provided that no such termination shall become effective until and unless the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank (or its Affiliates) shall have been reduced to zero. At the time any such termination shall become effective, the Borrowers shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the terminated Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12(b). Notwithstanding the effectiveness of any such termination, the terminated Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such termination, but shall not issue any additional Letters of Credit. Any Issuing Bank may resign at any time by giving 30 days prior notice to the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Lenders, and the Borrowers. After the resignation of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the retiring Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to


 
74 such resignation, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit or to extend, renew or increase any existing Letter of Credit. (l) Issuing Bank Reports to the Administrative Agent. Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank shall, in addition to its notification obligations set forth elsewhere in this Section, report in writing to the Administrative Agent (i) periodic activity (for such period or recurrent periods as shall be requested by the Administrative Agent) in respect of Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, including all issuances, extensions, amendments and renewals, all expirations and cancelations and all disbursements and reimbursements, (ii) reasonably prior to the time that such Issuing Bank issues, amends, renews or extends any Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, and the stated amount of the Letters of Credit issued, amended, renewed or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (and whether the amounts thereof shall have changed), (iii) on each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank makes any LC Disbursement, the date and amount of such LC Disbursement, (iv) on any Business Day on which a Borrower fails to reimburse an LC Disbursement required to be reimbursed to such Issuing Bank on such day, the date of such failure and the currency and amount of such LC Disbursement and (v) on any other Business Day, such other information as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request as to the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank. (m) LC Exposure Determination. For all purposes of this Agreement, the amount of a Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at the time of determination. (n) Applicability of ISP and UCP; Governing Law. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable Issuing Bank and the applicable Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the rules of the ISP or UCP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, (ii) the rules of the UCP shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit and (iii) each Letter of Credit shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York. SECTION 2.06. Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, Local Time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the applicable Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of such Borrower and designated by such Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that ABR Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement denominated in dollars as provided in Section 2.05(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to Section 2.05(e) to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Revolving Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear.


 
75 (b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption and in its sole discretion, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and such Borrower severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the such Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, (A) in the case of Loans denominated in dollars, the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (B) in the case of Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, the rate determined by the Administrative Agent to be the cost to it of funding such amount (which determination will be conclusive absent manifest error) or (ii) in the case of the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to (A) in the case of Loans denominated in dollars, ABR Loans and (B) in the case of Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, the interest rate applicable to the subject Loan pursuant to Section 2.13. If the applicable Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to such Borrower the amount of such interest paid by such Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. SECTION 2.07. Interest Elections. (a) Each Revolving Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request or designated by Section 2.03 and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request or designated by Section 2.03. Thereafter, the applicable Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a Borrowing of a different Type (provided that Eurocurrency Borrowings denominated in an Alternative Currency may not be converted into ABR Borrowings) or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Company may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. (b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the applicable Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Company was requesting a Revolving Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be signed by a Responsible Officer of such Borrower.


 
76 interest at the Central Bank Rate plus the CBR Spread. (c) Each Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02: (i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing); (ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day; (iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or, a Eurocurrency Borrowing or an RFR Borrowing; and (iv) if the resulting Borrowing is to be a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period.” If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then such Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. (d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing. (e) If a Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurocurrency Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period (i) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in dollars, such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing and (ii) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in an Alternative Currency, such Borrowing shall be continued as a Borrowing of the applicable Type for an Interest Period of one month. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default under clause (h) or (i) of Section 7.01 has occurred and is continuing with respect to a Borrower, or if any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders has notified the Borrowers of the election to give effect to this sentence on account of such other Event of Default, then, in each such case, so long as such Event of Default is continuing, (i) no outstanding Borrowing denominated in dollars may be converted to or continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing, (ii) unless repaid, each Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in dollars shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto and, (iii) unless repaid, each Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in an Alternative Currency shall be continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing, with an Interest Period of one month’s duration and (iv) unless repaid, each RFR Borrowing shall bear SECTION 2.08. Termination and Reduction of Commitments.


 
77 (a) Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall automatically terminate on the Maturity Date. (b) The Company may at any time terminate, or from time to time permanently reduce, the Commitments; provided that (i) each partial reduction of the Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $10,000,000 and (ii) the Company shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.11, the Total Revolving Exposure would exceed the Total Commitments. (c) The Company shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Company pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination or reduction of the Commitments delivered under this paragraph may state that such notice is conditioned upon the occurrence of one or more events specified therein, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Company (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments. SECTION 2.09. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) Each Borrower hereby unconditionally promise to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan of such Revolving Lender on the Maturity Date. (b) The records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of each Borrower in respect of Loans, LC Disbursements, interest and fees due or accrued hereunder; provided that the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to maintain such records or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers to pay any amounts due hereunder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. (c) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a Note. In such event, the applicable Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender in substantially the form of Exhibit J attached hereto (each, a “Note”). Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such Note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by a Note in such form payable to such payee and its registered assigns. SECTION 2.10. [Reserved]. SECTION 2.11. Prepayment of Loans.


 
78 (a) Each Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, subject to Section 2.16. (b) In the event and on each occasion that (i) the Total Revolving Exposure exceeds the Total Commitments (other than as a result of any revaluation of the Dollar Equivalent of Revolving Loans or the LC Exposure on any Revaluation Date in accordance with Section 1.06) or (ii) the Total Revolving Exposure exceeds 105% of the Total Commitments solely as a result of any revaluation of the Dollar Equivalent of Revolving Loans or the LC Exposure on any Revaluation Date in accordance with Section 1.06, the Borrowers shall prepay Revolving Borrowings (or, if no such Borrowings are outstanding, deposit cash collateral in an account with the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.05(i)) in an aggregate amount equal to such excess. (c) If, at any time while Revolving Loans are outstanding, the Consolidated Cash Balance exceeds $225,000,000 as of the last calendar day of any month, then the Borrowers shall, within three (3) Business Days, prepay Revolving Borrowings in an aggregate amount equal to such excess, and if any excess remains after prepaying all outstanding Revolving Borrowings as a result of LC Exposure, the Borrowers shall deposit cash collateral in an account with the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.05(i) in an amount equal to such excess. (d) Prior to any optional or mandatory prepayment of Borrowings under this Section, the Borrowers shall, subject to the next sentence, select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid and shall specify such selection in the notice of such prepayment delivered pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section. (e) The Company and/or the applicable Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by hand delivery, facsimile or other electronic imaging) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., Local Time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, or (ii) in the case of prepayment of an RFR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, five RFR Business Days before the date of prepayment and (iii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment; provided that if a notice of optional prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.08, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.08. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02, except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13.


 
79 SECTION 2.12. Fees. (a) The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender for the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the date on which the Commitments terminate (or are otherwise reduced to zero), a commitment fee which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the average daily unused amount of the Commitment of such Revolving Lender.

A certificate of any Lender setting forth in reasonable detail any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section, and showing the calculation thereof, shall be delivered to the Company and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

87 (a) Payment Free of Taxes.

(iii) If a Lender has confirmed its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with paragraph (f)(ii) above, each UK Borrower shall make a Borrower DTTP Filing with respect to such Lender; provided that, if: (A) each UK Borrower making a payment to such Lender has not made a Borrower DTTP Filing in respect of such Lender; or (B) each UK Borrower making a payment to such Lender has made a Borrower DTTP Filing in respect of such Lender but: (1) such Borrower DTTP Filing has been rejected by HM Revenue & Customs; or (2) HM Revenue & Customs has not given such UK Borrower authority to make payments to such Lender without UK Withholding Tax within 60 days of the date of such Borrower DTTP Filing; or (3) HM Revenue & Customs has given the Borrower authority to make payments to that Lender without UK Withholding Tax but such authority has subsequently been revoked or expired,


 
91 and in each case, such UK Borrower has notified that Lender in writing of either (A), (B)(1), (B)(2) or (B)(3) above, then such Lender and such UK Borrower shall co-operate in completing any additional procedural formalities necessary for such UK Borrower to obtain authorization to make that payment without UK Withholding Tax. (iv) If a Lender has not confirmed its scheme reference number and jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with paragraph (f)(ii) above, no UK Borrower shall make a Borrower DTTP Filing or file any other form relating to the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme in respect of that Lender’s Commitment(s) or its participation in any Loan unless the Lender otherwise agrees. (v) Each UK Borrower shall, promptly on making a Borrower DTTP Filing, deliver a copy of such Borrower DTTP Filing to the Administrative Agent for delivery to the relevant Lender. (vi) A UK Non-Bank Lender which is a party to this Agreement on the Effective Date shall give a UK Tax Confirmation in Schedule 2.01. A UK Non-Bank Lender which becomes a party to this Agreement after the Effective Date shall give a UK Tax Confirmation in the documentation which it executes on becoming a party. A UK Non-Bank Lender shall promptly notify any UK Borrower and the Administrative Agent if there is any change in the position from that set out in the UK Tax Confirmation. (vii) Each UK Treaty Lender shall notify the Borrowers and Administrative Agent if it determines in its sole discretion that it is ceases to be entitled to claim the benefits of UK Treaty with respect to payments made by any UK Borrower hereunder. (viii) Each Lender shall indicate, in Schedule 2.01 or, as the case may be, the documentation which it executes on becoming a Lender, which of the following categories it falls in in respect of a UK Borrower: (A) Not a Qualifying Lender; (B) A Qualifying Lender (other than a UK Treaty Lender or a UK Non- Bank Lender); (C) A UK Non-Bank Lender; or (D) A UK Treaty Lender (on the assumption that all procedural formalities have been completed). If a Lender fails to indicate its status in accordance with this paragraph (viii), then such Lender shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement (including by each UK Borrower) as if it is not a Qualifying Lender until such time as it notifies the Administrative Agent which category applies (and the Administrative Agent, upon receipt of such notification, shall inform each UK Borrower).


 
92 (ix) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if a Lender assigns or transfers any of its rights or obligations with respect to a Loan or changes its lending office in respect of such Loan, and as a result of circumstances existing at the date the assignment, transfer or change occurs, a Loan Party would be obliged to make a payment to the successor or assign or Lender acting through its new lending office under Section 2.15 in respect of a UK Withholding Tax, then such successor or assign or Lender acting through its new lending office is only entitled to receive payment under that Section to the same extent as the assigning or transferring Lender or Lender acting through its previous lending office would have been if the assignment, transfer or change had not occurred. This paragraph (ix) shall not apply in respect of an assignment or transfer made in the ordinary course of the primary syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein. (g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.17 (including by the payment of additional amounts paid pursuant to this Section 2.17), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.17 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph, in no event will any indemnified party be required to pay any amount to any indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph the payment of which would place such indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted or withheld and the indemnification payments or additional amounts in respect of such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person. (h) Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.17 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Loan Document Obligations. (i) VAT (i) All amounts expressed to be payable under a Loan Document by any party to a Credit Party which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for any supply for VAT purposes are deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on that supply, and accordingly, subject to paragraph (ii) below, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Credit Party to any party under a Loan Document and such Credit Party is required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT,


 
93 that party must pay to such Credit Party (in addition to and at the same time as paying any other consideration for such supply) an amount equal to the amount of the VAT (and such Credit Party must promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to that party). (ii) If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Credit Party (the “Supplier”) to any other Credit Party (the “Recipient”) under a Loan Document, and any party other than the Recipient (the “Relevant Party”) is required by the terms of any Loan Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for that supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse or indemnify the Recipient in respect of that consideration): (A) (where the Supplier is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT) the Relevant Party must also pay to the Supplier (at the same time as paying that amount) an additional amount equal to the amount of the VAT. The Recipient must (where this paragraph (A) applies) promptly pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment the Recipient receives from the relevant tax authority which the Recipient reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply; and (B) (where the Recipient is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT) the Relevant Party must promptly, following demand from the Recipient, pay to the Recipient an amount equal to the VAT chargeable on that supply but only to the extent that the Recipient reasonably determines that it is not entitled to credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of that VAT. (iii) Where a Loan Document requires any party to reimburse or indemnify a Credit Party for any cost or expense, that party shall reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) such Credit Party for the full amount of such cost or expense, including such part thereof as represents VAT, save to the extent that such Credit Party reasonably determines that it is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority. (iv) Any reference in this clause Section 2.17(i) to any party shall, at any time when such party is treated as a member of a group for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the representative member of such group at such time (the term “representative member” to have the same meaning as in the Value Added Tax Act 1994). (v) In relation to any supply made by a Credit Party to any party under a Loan Document, if reasonably requested by such Credit Party, that party must promptly provide such Credit Party with details of that party’s VAT registration and such other information as is reasonably requested in connection with such Credit Party’s VAT reporting requirements in relation to such supply. (j) For purposes of this Section 2.17, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Bank and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.


 
94 SECTION 2.18. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs; Application of Proceeds. (a) The Borrowers shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to the time expressly required hereunder or under such other Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time), on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without any defense, setoff, recoupment or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to such account or accounts as may be specified by the Administrative Agent, except that payments required to be made directly to any Issuing Bank shall be so made, payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to the Persons specified therein. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payment received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder of principal or interest in respect of any Loan or LC Disbursement shall, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, be made in the currency of such Loan or LC Disbursement; all other payments hereunder and under each other Loan Document shall be made in dollars. (b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties. (c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Revolving Loans or participations in LC Disbursements resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall notify the Administrative Agent of such fact and shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the aggregate amount of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by a


 
95 Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any Eligible Assignee. The Borrowers consent to the foregoing and agree, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrowers rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrowers in the amount of such participation. (d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Company prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of any of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption and in its sole discretion, distribute to the applicable Lenders or the Issuing Banks, as applicable, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each of the applicable Lenders or the Issuing Banks, as applicable, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or such Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. (e) [Reserved]. (f) All proceeds of Collateral and all other amounts received by the Administrative Agent after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and all or any portion of the Loans shall have been accelerated hereunder pursuant to Section 7.01, shall, upon election by the Administrative Agent or at the direction of the Required Lenders, be applied, first, on a pro rata basis, to pay any fees, indemnities, or expense reimbursements then due to the Administrative Agent, second, to pay interest due and payable in respect of any Loans, on a pro rata basis, third, to the payment of any other Obligation due to the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party on a pro rata basis, and fourth, to the Borrowers or as the Borrowers shall direct. SECTION 2.19. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if any Loan Party is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or to any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Company) use commercially reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign and delegate its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment and delegation (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17, as applicable, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not be inconsistent with its internal policies or otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in any material respect. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable and documented costs and


 
96 expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment and delegation. (b) If (i) any Lender has requested compensation under Section 2.15, (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 2.17 or (iii) any Lender has become a Defaulting Lender, then the Company may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17) and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment and delegation); provided that (A) the Company shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and, if a Commitment is being assigned, each Issuing Bank), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, (B) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder from the assignee or the Borrowers, (C) the Borrowers or such assignee shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the processing and recordation fee specified in Section 9.04(b), (D) in the case of any such assignment and delegation resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments and (E) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver or consent by such Lender or otherwise (including as a result of any action taken by such Lender under paragraph (a) above), the circumstances entitling the Company to require such assignment and delegation have ceased to apply. SECTION 2.20. Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender: (a) in the case of a Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Lender, commitment fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(a); (b) the Loans and Commitments of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders or any other requisite Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 9.02); provided that any amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or all Lenders affected thereby shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 9.02, require the consent of such Defaulting Lender in accordance with the terms hereof; (c) in the case of a Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Lender, if any LC Exposure exists at the time such Revolving Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then:


 
97 (i) all or any part of the LC Exposure (other than any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements with respect to which such Defaulting Lender shall have funded its participation as contemplated by Sections 2.05(e) and 2.05(f)) of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages but only to the extent that the sum of all Non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders’ Revolving Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure does not exceed the sum of all Non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders’ Commitments; provided that no reallocation under this clause (ii) 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 Revolving Lender as a result of such Non- Defaulting Revolving Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation; (ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Banks the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure that has not been reallocated in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.05(i) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding; (iii) if the Borrowers cash collateralize any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrowers shall not be required to pay participation fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(b) with respect to such portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure for so long as such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized; (iv) if any portion of the LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Sections 2.12(a) and 2.12(b) shall be adjusted to give effect to such reallocation; and (v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Bank or any other Lender hereunder, all participation fees payable under Section 2.12(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Banks (and allocated among them ratably based on the amount of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by each Issuing Bank) until and to the extent that such LC Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and (d) so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, in the case of a Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Lender, no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding LC Exposure will be fully covered by the Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders and/or cash collateral provided by the Borrowers in accordance with Section 2.20(c), and participating interests in any such issued, amended, renewed or extended


 
98 Letter of Credit will be allocated among the Non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.20(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein). In the event that (i) a Bankruptcy Event or a Bail-In Action with respect to a direct or indirect parent company of a Lender shall occur following the Effective Date and for so long as such Bankruptcy Event or Bail-In Action shall continue or (ii) any applicable Issuing Bank has a good faith belief that any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, such Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit, unless such Issuing Bank shall have entered into arrangements with the applicable Borrower or the applicable Revolving Lender, satisfactory to such Issuing Bank to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder. In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Company and each applicable Issuing Bank each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused the applicable Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the LC Exposure of the Revolving Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Loans of the other Revolving Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Revolving Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; provided, further that, except as otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from a Defaulting Lender to a non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. ARTICLE III Representations and Warranties Each Borrower (with respect to itself and, where applicable, its respective Subsidiaries) represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent, each of the Issuing Banks and each of the Lenders that: SECTION 3.01. Organization; Powers. Each Borrower and each Restricted Subsidiary (a) is duly organized, incorporated or established, validly existing and, to the extent that such concept is applicable in the relevant jurisdiction, in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, incorporation or establishment except, in the case of any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Loan Party, to the extent the failure of such Restricted Subsidiary to be in good standing would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (b) has all requisite power and authority, and the legal right, to carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted, and (c) except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, is qualified to do business in, and, to the extent that such concept is applicable in the relevant jurisdiction, is in good standing in, every jurisdiction where such qualification is required.


 
99 SECTION 3.02. Authorization; Due Execution and Delivery; Enforceability.

The execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party of each Loan Document to which such Person is a party have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other organizational action and, if required, action by the holders of such Loan Party’s Equity Interests. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Borrowers and constitutes, and each other Loan Document to which any Loan Party is to be a party, when executed and delivered by such Loan Party, will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrowers or such Loan Party, as applicable, enforceable against such Person in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law and an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. SECTION 3.03. Governmental Approvals; No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party of each Loan Document to which such Person is a party (a) as of the date such Loan Document is executed, will not require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority, except such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect and except (i) registrations or filings necessary to perfect Liens created under the Loan Documents and payment of applicable stamp duty in respect of the Loan Documents, (ii) consents, approvals, registrations or filings which have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect or (iii) where failure to obtain such consent or approval, or make such registration or filing, in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (b) will not violate any Requirement of Law applicable to a Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, (c) will not violate or result (alone or with notice or lapse of time or both) in a default under any indenture, agreement or other instrument binding upon a Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary or their respective assets, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment, repurchase or redemption to be made by a Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary or give rise to a right of, or result in, termination, cancelation or acceleration of any obligation thereunder, except with respect to any violation, default, payment, repurchase, redemption, termination, cancellation or acceleration that would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (d) will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset now owned or hereafter acquired by a Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, except Liens created under the Loan Documents. SECTION 3.04. Financial Condition; No Material Adverse Change. (a) The Company heretofore furnished to the Administrative Agent (i) the Company’s audited consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholder’s equity and cash flows as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2017, December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2019 and (ii) the unaudited consolidated balance sheets and related statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows of the Company, subject to normal year-end adjustments, for the fiscal quarters ended on or about March 31, 2020, June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2020.

100 and cash flows of the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis as of such dates and for such periods in accordance with GAAP consistently applied. (b) No event, change or condition has occurred that has had, or would reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect since December 31, 2019. SECTION 3.05. Properties. (a) Each Borrower and each Restricted Subsidiary has good and marketable title to, all its property necessary for the conduct of its business (including the Mortgaged Properties), except for minor defects in title that do not interfere with its ability to conduct its business as currently conducted or as proposed to be conducted or to utilize such properties for their intended purposes. All such property is free and clear of Liens, other than Liens expressly permitted by Section 6.02. Each Borrower and each Restricted Subsidiary is the legal and beneficial owner of the property necessary for the conduct of its business (including the Mortgaged Properties). (b) Each Borrower and each Restricted Subsidiary owns, or has secured the rights to use, all trademarks, trade names, copyrights, patents and other intellectual property used in its business as currently conducted, and the operation of the respective businesses as currently operated by each Borrower and each Restricted Subsidiary does not infringe upon, misappropriate or otherwise violate the rights of any other Person, except, in each case, for any such failures to own or have rights to use, or any such infringements that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No claim or litigation regarding any trademarks, trade names, copyrights, patents or other intellectual property (i) owned by a Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary is pending; (ii) used by a Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, to the Knowledge of the Borrowers or any Restricted Subsidiary, is pending; or (iii) owned or used by a Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, to the Knowledge of the Borrowers or any Restricted Subsidiary, is threatened against a Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary that, in each of (i), (ii) and (iii) individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Each Borrower and Restricted Subsidiary has taken commercially reasonable measures to protect and maintain the confidentiality of its material trade secrets. (c) As of the Effective Date, none of the Borrowers or any Restricted Subsidiary has received notice of, or has Knowledge of, any pending or contemplated condemnation proceeding affecting any Mortgaged Property or any sale or disposition thereof in lieu of condemnation, or any dispute in relation to the Mortgaged Property, any breach of any of the covenants affecting the title to the Mortgaged Property or, where such property is leasehold, any of the covenants within the relevant lease.

101 Borrowers or any Restricted Subsidiary, threatened against or affecting a Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary or any business, property or rights (other than intellectual property rights, which are addressed in Section 3.05(b)) of any such Person (i) that could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) that involve any of the Loan Documents. (b) Except with respect to any matters that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect: (i) Each of the Borrowers and each Restricted Subsidiary is in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws and has obtained, maintains and is in compliance with all permits, licenses and other approvals required under applicable Environmental Laws, (ii) None of the Borrowers or any Restricted Subsidiary is subject to any Environmental Liability or has received notice of any claim with respect to any Environmental Liability, (iii) None of the Borrowers or any Restricted Subsidiary has any present or, to the Knowledge of the Borrowers or any Restricted Subsidiary, past operations or properties subject to any federal, state or local investigation to determine whether any remedial action is needed to address any Release of Hazardous Materials, and to the Knowledge of the Borrowers, there has been no Release of Hazardous Materials in connection with such operations or at such properties that would reasonably be expected to result in any Environmental Liability to any Borrower or Restricted Subsidiary. SECTION 3.07. Compliance with Laws. Each Borrower and each of its Restricted Subsidiaries is in compliance with all laws, regulations and orders of any Governmental Authority applicable to it or its property and all indentures, agreements and other instruments binding upon it or its property, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

135 (l) an ERISA Event shall have occurred that, when taken together with all other ERISA Events that have occurred, (i) could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) result in a Lien on any of the assets of any Loan Party; (m) on and after the Effective Date, any Lien purported to be created under any Security Document shall cease to be, or shall be asserted by any Loan Party not to be, a valid and perfected Lien on any material Collateral, with the priority required by the applicable Security Document, except as a result of (i) the sale or other disposition of the applicable Collateral in a transaction permitted under the Loan Documents or (ii) the release thereof as provided in Section 9.14; (n) on and after the Effective Date, any Security Document shall cease to be, or shall be asserted by any Loan Party not to be, in full force and effect, except as a result of the release thereof as provided in the applicable Loan Document or Section 9.14; (o) on and after the Effective Date, any Guarantee purported to be created under any Loan Document shall cease to be, or shall be asserted by any Loan Party not to be, in full force and effect, except as a result of the release thereof as provided in the applicable Loan Document or Section 9.14; or (p) a Change in Control shall occur; or (q) a UK Insolvency Event shall occur in respect of any UK Relevant Entity; then, (I) and in every such event (other than an event with respect to the Borrowers described in clause (h) or (i) of this Section 7.01), and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such event, the Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders shall, by notice to the Borrowers, take any or all of the following actions, at the same or different times: (i) terminate the Commitments, and thereupon the Commitments shall terminate immediately, (ii) declare the Loans then outstanding to be due and payable in whole (or in part), in which case any principal not so declared to be due and payable may thereafter be declared to be due and payable), and thereupon the principal of the Loans so declared to be due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other obligations of the Borrowers hereunder, shall become due and payable immediately and (iii) require the deposit of cash collateral in respect of LC Exposure as provided in Section 2.05(i), in each case, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers, and (II) in the case of any event with respect to the Borrowers described in clause (h) or (i) of this Section, the Commitments shall automatically terminate and the principal of the Loans then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other obligations of the Borrowers hereunder, shall immediately and automatically become due and payable and the deposit of such cash collateral in respect of LC Exposure shall immediately and automatically become due, in each case, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers.


 
136 ARTICLE VIII The Administrative Agent SECTION 8.01. Administrative Agent Matters. (a) Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably appoints the entity named as Administrative Agent in the heading of this Agreement and its successors to serve as administrative agent and collateral agent (without prejudice to the right of the Administrative Agent to designate any sub-agent, co-agent or trustee to serve as collateral agent or security trustee) under the Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. In addition, to the extent required under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States of America, each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby grants to the Administrative Agent (including any sub-agent, co-agent or trustee designated by the Administrative Agent) any required powers of attorney to execute any Security Document governed by the laws of such jurisdiction on such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s behalf. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” (or any similar term) herein or in any other Loan Document with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary duty or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties. (b) The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender or an Issuing Bank as any other Lender or Issuing Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks. (c) The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or to exercise any discretionary power, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in the Loan Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion, could expose the Administrative Agent to liability or be contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or applicable law, and (iii) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to


 
137 disclose, any information relating to the Borrowers, any Subsidiary or any other Affiliate of any of the foregoing that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in the Loan Documents) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct (such absence to be presumed unless otherwise determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment). The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof (stating that it is a “notice of default”) is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrowers, a Lender or an Issuing Bank, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (A) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (B) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (C) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the occurrence of any Default, (D) the sufficiency, validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (E) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or satisfaction of any condition that expressly refers to the matters described therein being acceptable or satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be liable for, or be responsible for any loss, cost or expense suffered by the Borrowers or any Lender as a result of, any determination of the Revolving Exposure or the component amounts thereof. (d) The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the signatory, sender or authenticator thereof). The Administrative Agent also shall be entitled to rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the signatory, sender or authenticator thereof), and may act upon any such statement prior to receipt of written confirmation thereof. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or such Issuing Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or such Issuing Bank prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be


 
138 liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. (e) The Administrative Agent may perform any of and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the role of collateral agent and/or security trustee) by or through any one or more sub- agents, co-agents or trustees appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any of and all their duties and exercise their rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agent, co-agent or trustee except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents. (f) Subject to the terms of this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time from its capacity as such. In connection with such resignation, the Administrative Agent shall give notice of its intent to resign to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrowers. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrowers (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its intent to resign, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed by the Borrowers and such successor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its intent to resign, the retiring Administrative Agent may give notice of the effectiveness of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrowers, whereupon, on the date of effectiveness of such resignation stated in such notice, (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided that, solely for purposes of maintaining any security interest granted to the Collateral Agent under any Security Document for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the retiring Administrative Agent (or any applicable sub-agent or security trustee) shall continue to be vested with such security interest as collateral agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and, in the case of any Collateral in the possession of the Administrative Agent (or such sub-agent or security trustee), shall continue to hold such Collateral, in each case until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed and accepts such appointment in accordance with this paragraph (it being understood and agreed that the retiring Administrative Agent shall have no duty or obligation to


 
139 take any further action under any Security Document, including any action required to maintain the perfection of any such security interest), and (ii) the Required Lenders shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent; provided that (A) all payments required to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Person other than the Administrative Agent shall be made directly to such Person and (B) all notices and other communications required or contemplated to be given or made to the Administrative Agent shall also directly be given or made to each Lender and each Issuing Bank. Following the effectiveness of the Administrative Agent’s resignation from its capacity as such, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03, as well as any exculpatory, reimbursement and indemnification provisions set forth in any other Loan Document, shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent and in respect of the matters referred to in the proviso under clause (a) above. (g) Each Lender and each Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or any other Lender or Issuing Bank, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or any other Lender or Issuing Bank, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. (h) Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement and funding its Loans on the Effective Date, or delivering its signature page to an Assignment and Assumption or any other Loan Document pursuant to which it shall become a Lender hereunder, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, this Agreement and each other Loan Document and each other document required to be delivered to, or be approved by or satisfactory to, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders on the Effective Date and shall be deemed to have consented to and approved the Collateral Agency Agreement and each Security Document to be entered into by the Administrative Agent and any Collateral Agent after the Effective Date pursuant to Section 5.15. The Lenders, each Issuing Bank and each other Secured Party irrevocably (i) authorizes the Administrative Agent to enter into or amend any Secured SCF Intercreditor Agreement with any representative of the holders of Secured SCF Obligations that are permitted to be secured by a Lien on the Collateral as permitted under this Agreement, in each case for the purpose of adding the holders of such Indebtedness (or their representative) as a party thereto and otherwise causing such Indebtedness to be subject thereto and (ii) and consents to the Administrative Agent and agrees not to assert any claims against the Administrative Agent or any successor thereof arising from the role of the Administrative Agent or such successor under such Secured SCF Intercreditor Agreement, so long as it is acting in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and such Secured SCF Intercreditor Agreement (it being understood that any action taken by the Administrative Agent acting at the direction of, or with the negative consent of, the Required Lenders shall be an action that is undertaken in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents). Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time,


 
140 the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to enter into or amend such Secured SCF Intercreditor Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.01(h). (i) Except with respect to the exercise of setoff rights of any Lender in accordance with Section 9.08 or with respect to a Lender’s right to file a proof of claim in an insolvency proceeding, no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce any Guarantee of the Obligations, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent, co-agent or trustee designated by it as collateral agent or security trustee) on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms thereof. In the event of a foreclosure by the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent(s) designated by it as collateral agent or security trustee) on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition, and the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent, co-agent or trustee designated by it as collateral agent or security trustee), as agent for and representative of the Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Loan Document Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent, co-agent or trustee designated by it as collateral agent or security trustee) on behalf of the Secured Parties at such sale or other disposition. (j) The Secured Cash Management Obligations, the Secured Hedging Obligations, the Secured LC Facility Obligations and the Secured SCF Obligations, shall be secured and guaranteed pursuant to the Loan Documents only to the extent that, and for so long as, the other Obligations are so secured and guaranteed. No person shall have any voting rights under any Loan Document solely as a result of the existence of Secured Cash Management Obligations, Secured Hedging Obligations, Secured LC Facility Obligations or Secured SCF Obligations owed to it. For the avoidance of doubt, no release of Collateral or Guarantors effected in the manner permitted by this Agreement shall require the consent of any holder of Secured Cash Management Obligations, Secured Hedging Obligations, Secured LC Facility Obligations or Secured SCF Obligations. By accepting the benefits of the Collateral, each Secured Party that is a provider of Cash Management Services or a party to any Hedging Agreement, Secured LC Facility or Secured Supply Chain Financing shall be deemed to have appointed the Administrative Agent to serve as administrative agent and collateral agent (without prejudice to the Administrative Agent’s right to designate any sub-agent, co-agent or trustee as collateral agent or security trustee) under the Loan Documents and agreed to be bound by the Loan Documents as a Secured Party thereunder, subject to the limitations set forth in this paragraph. (k) The Secured Parties irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent (or any sub- agent, co-agent or trustee designated by it as collateral agent or security trustee), at its option and in its discretion, to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 6.02(b). The Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent, co-agent or trustee designated by it as collateral agent or security trustee) shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or


 
141 inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Administrative Agent’s (or any designated collateral agent’s or security trustee’s) Lien thereon or any certificate prepared by any Loan Party in connection therewith, nor shall the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent, co-agent or trustee designated by it as collateral agent or security trustee) be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral. (l) The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations (including by accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (i) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar laws in any other jurisdictions to which a Loan Party is subject, or (ii) at any other sale, foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid by the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that shall vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) for the asset or assets so purchased (or for the equity interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are issued in connection with such purchase). In connection with any such bid (A) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles and to assign any successful credit bid to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles (B) each of the Secured Parties’ ratable interests in the Obligations which were credit bid shall be deemed without any further action under this Agreement to be assigned to such vehicle or vehicles for the purpose of closing such sale, (C) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by the Administrative Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or equity interests thereof, shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by, and the governing documents shall provide for, control by the vote of the Required Lenders or their permitted assignees under the terms of this Agreement or the governing documents of the applicable acquisition vehicle or vehicles, as the case may be, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Required Lenders contained in Section 9.02 of this Agreement), (D) the Administrative Agent on behalf of such acquisition vehicle or vehicles shall be authorized to issue to each of the Secured Parties, ratably on account of the relevant Obligations which were credit bid, interests, whether as equity, partnership interests, limited partnership interests or membership interests, in any such acquisition vehicle and/or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle, all without the need for any Secured Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further action and (E) to the extent that Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of Obligations credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the


 
142 Secured Parties pro rata with their original interest in such Obligations and the equity interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of such Obligations shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action. Notwithstanding that the ratable portion of the Obligations of each Secured Party are deemed assigned to the acquisition vehicle or vehicles as set forth in clause (B) above, each Secured Party shall execute such documents and provide such information regarding the Secured Party (and/or any designee of the Secured Party which will receive interests in or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle) as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in connection with the formation of any acquisition vehicle, the formulation or submission of any credit bid or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such credit bid. (m) In case of the pendency of any proceeding with respect to any Loan Party under any Federal, State or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or any LC Disbursement shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrowers) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: (i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, LC Exposure and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent (including any claim under Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and (ii) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender, each Issuing Bank and each other Secured Party to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or the other Secured Parties, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due to it, in its capacity as the Administrative Agent, under the Loan Documents (including under Section 9.03). (n) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither the Arrangers nor any Person named on the cover page of this Agreement as a Documentation Agent shall have any duties or obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except in its capacity, as applicable, as a Lender or an Issuing Bank), but all such Persons shall have the benefit of the indemnities provided for hereunder. (o) The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, and, except solely to the extent of the Borrowers’ rights to consent pursuant to and subject to the conditions set forth in this


 
143 Article, none of the Borrowers or any Subsidiary shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any such provisions. Each Secured Party, whether or not a party hereto, will be deemed, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Collateral and the Guarantees of the Obligations provided under the Loan Documents, to have agreed to the provisions of this Article. (p) To the extent required by any applicable Requirement of Law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender under any Loan Document an amount equal to any applicable withholding Tax. If the IRS or any Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from any amount paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective), such Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent (to the extent that the Administrative Agent has not already been reimbursed by the Loan Parties and without limiting or expanding the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so) for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses and any out-of-pocket expenses, whether or not such Tax was 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 this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph. The agreements in this paragraph shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Loans and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under this Agreement. (q) Unless required by applicable Requirement of Law, at no time shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender. For purposes of this paragraph, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Bank. (r) (i) Each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby agrees that (x) if the Administrative Agent notifies such Lender and/or Issuing Bank that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Lender or Issuing Bank from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, a “Payment”) were erroneously transmitted to such Lender or Issuing Bank (whether or not known to such Lender or Issuing Bank), and demands the return of such Payment (or a portion thereof), such Lender and/or Issuing Bank shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender or Issuing Bank to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect, and (y) to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable,


 
144 shall not assert, and hereby waives, as to the Administrative Agent, 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 Payments received, including without limitation any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or Issuing Bank under this Section 8.01(r) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. (ii) Each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby further agrees that if it receives a 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 sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Payment (a “Payment Notice”) or (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, it shall be on notice, in each such case, that an error has been made with respect to such Payment. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank agrees that, in each such case, or if it otherwise becomes aware a Payment (or portion thereof) may have been sent in error, such Lender and/or Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. (iii) The Borrowers and each other Loan Party hereby agree that (x) in the event an erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) are not recovered from any Lender or Issuing Bank that has received such Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Lender and/or Issuing Bank with respect to such amount and (y) an erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by any Borrower or any other Loan Party. (iv) Each party’s obligations under this Section 8.01(r) shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender or an Issuing Bank, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations under any Loan Document. SECTION 8.02. Certain ERISA Matters. (a) Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, each Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of


 
145 doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrowers or any other Loan Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true: (i) such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of the Plan Asset Regulations) of one or more Benefit Plans in connection with the Loans, the Letters of Credit or the Commitments, (ii) the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84- 14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (iii) (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, or (iv) such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender. (b) In addition, unless sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or such Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant as provided in sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, and each Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrowers or any other Loan Party, that none of the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, the Documentation Agent or any of their respective Affiliates is a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).


 
146 (c) The Administrative Agent, each Arranger and the Documentation Agent hereby informs the Lenders that each such Person is not undertaking to provide investment advice or to give advice in a fiduciary capacity, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and that such Person has a financial interest in the transactions contemplated hereby in that such Person or an Affiliate thereof (i) may receive interest or other payments with respect to the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments, this Agreement and any other Loan Documents (ii) may recognize a gain if it extended the Loans, the Letters of Credit or the Commitments for an amount less than the amount being paid for an interest in the Loans, the Letters of Credit or the Commitments by such Lender or (iii) may receive fees or other payments in connection with the Transactions, the Loan Documents or otherwise, including structuring fees, commitment fees, arrangement fees, facility fees, upfront fees, underwriting fees, ticking fees, agency fees, administrative agent or collateral agent fees, utilization fees, minimum usage fees, letter of credit fees, fronting fees, deal-away or alternate transaction fees, amendment fees, processing fees, term out premiums, banker’s acceptance fees, breakage or other early termination fees or fees similar to the foregoing.

Notices and communications sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when received; notices sent by fax shall be deemed to have been given when sent (except that, if not given during normal business hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient). Notices delivered through electronic communications, to the extent provided in paragraph (b) of this Section, shall be effective as provided in such paragraph. (b) Electronic Communications. Notices and other communications to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet and intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices under Article II to any Lender or any Issuing Bank if such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as applicable, has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication. The Administrative Agent, or the Borrowers may, in their discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications or may be rescinded by any such Person by notice to each other such Person. Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgment from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgment) and (ii) notices and other communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient, at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i), of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefore; provided that, for both clauses (i) and (ii) above, if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient. (c) Change of Address, etc. Any party hereto may change its address or fax number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. (d) Platform. The Borrowers agree that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make any Communications by posting such Communication on Debt Domain, IntraLinks, SyndTrak or a substantially similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”). The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.” Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of


 
148 its Related Parties warrants, or shall be deemed to warrant, as to the adequacy of the Platform and each such Person expressly disclaims any liability for errors or omissions in the Communications. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third- party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made, or shall be deemed to be made, by the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties in connection with the Communications or the Platform. SECTION 9.02. Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the making of a Loan or the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. No notice or demand on the Borrowers in any case shall entitle the Borrowers to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. (b) Except as provided in Sections 2.14(b), (c) and (d), none of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except, in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders and, in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are parties thereto, in each case with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, in each case without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby (provided that the consent of the Required Lenders shall be sufficient to waive or reduce the increased portion of interest resulting from Section 2.13(cd)), (iii) postpone the scheduled maturity date of any Loan or the required date of reimbursement of any LC Disbursement, or any date for the payment of any interest or fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iv) change any of the provisions of this Section, change any provision of Section 2.18(b) or (c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby or the percentage set forth in the definition of the term “Required Lenders” or any other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document


 
149 specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or otherwise modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender, (v) release all or substantially all of the value of the Guarantees provided by the Loan Parties under the New York-Law Guarantee, in each case without the written consent of each Lender (except as expressly provided in Section 9.14 or the New York- Law Guarantee (including any such release by the Administrative Agent in connection with any sale or other disposition of any Subsidiary upon the exercise of remedies under the Security Documents), it being understood and agreed that an amendment or other modification of the type of obligations guaranteed under the New York-Law Guarantee shall not be deemed to be a release of any Guarantee), (vi) release all or substantially all the Collateral from the Liens of the Security Documents without the written consent of each Lender (except as expressly provided in Section 9.14 or the applicable Security Document (including any such release by the Administrative Agent in connection with any sale or other disposition of the Collateral upon the exercise of remedies under the Security Documents), it being understood and agreed that an amendment or other modification of the type of obligations secured by the Security Documents shall not be deemed to be a release of the Collateral from the Liens of the Security Documents), (vii) [reserved], (viii) [reserved] or (ix) amend Section 2.18(f) without the written consent of each Lender; provided, further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify, extend or otherwise affect the rights or obligations of the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank, as applicable. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, (1) no consent with respect to any waiver, amendment or other modification of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be required of any Defaulting Lender, except with respect to any waiver, amendment or other modification referred to in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of the first proviso of this paragraph and then only in the event such Defaulting Lender shall be affected by such waiver, amendment or other modification and (2) any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency so long as, in each case, the Lenders shall have received at least five Business Days prior written notice thereof and the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date of such notice to the Lenders, a written notice from (x) the Required Lenders stating that the Required Lenders object to such amendment or (y) if affected by such amendment, any Issuing Bank stating that it objects to such amendment. (c) In connection with any Proposed Change requiring the consent of all Lenders or all affected Lenders, if the consent of the Required Lenders to such Proposed Change is obtained, but the consent to such Proposed Change of other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained as described in paragraph (b) of this Section being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender” for purposes of this clause (c)), then the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Non-Consenting Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Non-Consenting Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) if the Administrative Agent is not such Non-Consenting Lender, the Borrowers shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and, if a Commitment is being assigned, each Issuing Bank), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or


 
150 delayed, (ii) such Non-Consenting Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder from the assignee or the Borrowers, (iii) the Borrowers or such assignee shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the processing and recordation fee specified in Section 9.04(b), (iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law and (v) the assignee shall have given its consent to such Proposed Change and, as a result of such assignment and delegation and any contemporaneous assignments and delegations and consents, such Proposed Change can be effected. Any assignment required pursuant to this Section 9.02(c) may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the assignee, and the Lender required to make such assignment shall not be required to be a party to such Assignment and Assumption. (d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent may, without the consent of any Secured Party, consent to a departure by any Loan Party from any covenant of such Loan Party set forth in this Agreement, the New York-Law Guarantee or any Security Document to the extent such departure is consistent with the authority of the Administrative Agent set forth in the definition of the term “Collateral and Guarantee Requirement.” (e) The Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the concurrence of any Lender, execute waivers, amendments or other modifications on behalf of such Lender. Any waiver, amendment or other modification effected in accordance with this Section, shall be binding upon each Person that is at the time thereof a Lender and each Person that subsequently becomes a Lender. SECTION 9.03. Expenses; Limitation of Liability; Indemnity, Etc. (a) Expenses. The Borrowers shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented out-of- pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Documentation Agent and their respective Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one firm of counsel for all such Persons, taken as a whole, and, if relevant, of a single firm of local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction (which may include a single firm of special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) for all such Persons, taken as a whole (and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest where the Person affected by such conflict informs the Borrowers of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, of another firm of counsel for such affected Person and, if reasonably necessary, of a single firm of local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction (which may include a single firm of special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) for such affected Person), in connection with the structuring, arrangement and syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein and any credit or similar facility refinancing or replacing, in whole or in part, any of the credit facilities provided for herein, as well as the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any waiver, amendments or modifications of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the


 
151 Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for any of the foregoing, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with the Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit. (b) Limitation of Liability. To the extent permitted by applicable law (i) the Borrowers and each other Loan Party shall not assert, and the Borrowers and each other Loan Party hereby waive, any claim against the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, the Documentation Agent, any Issuing Bank and any Lender, and any Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called a “Lender-Related Person”) for any Liabilities arising from the use by others of information or other materials (including, without limitation, any personal data) obtained through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems (including the Internet), and (ii) no party hereto shall assert, and each such party hereby waives, any Liabilities against any other party hereto, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that, nothing in this Section 9.03(b) shall relieve the Borrowers or any other Loan Party of any obligation they may have to indemnify an Indemnitee, as provided in Section 9.03(c), against any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages asserted against such Indemnitee by a third party. (c) Indemnity. The Borrowers shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Documentation Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”), against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all Liabilities and related expenses (including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of one firm of counsel for all such Indemnitees, taken as a whole, and, if relevant, of a single firm of local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction (which may include a single firm of special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) for all such Indemnitees, taken as a whole (and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest where the Indemnitee affected by such conflict informs the Borrowers of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, of another firm of counsel for such affected Indemnitee and, if reasonably necessary, of a single firm of local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction (which may include a single firm of special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) for such affected Indemnitee)), incurred by or asserted against such Indemnitees arising out of, in connection with or as a result of any actual or prospective Proceeding relating to (i) the structuring, arrangement and syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by any Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit) or (iii) any actual or alleged presence or


 
152 Release of Hazardous Materials on, at, to or from any Mortgaged Property or any other property currently or formerly owned or operated by the Borrowers or any Subsidiary, or any other Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrowers or any Subsidiary, in each case, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and whether initiated against or by any party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any Affiliate of any of the foregoing or any third party (and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto); provided that the foregoing indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, apply to any Liabilities or related expenses to the extent (A) they are found in a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have primarily resulted from the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of such Indemnitee or (B) a proceeding that does not involve an act or omission by the Borrowers or any of their respective Affiliates and that is brought by an Indemnitee against any other Indemnitee (other than a proceeding that is brought against the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any other agent or any Arranger in its capacity or in fulfilling its roles as an agent, issuing bank or arranger hereunder or any similar role with respect to the Indebtedness incurred or to be incurred hereunder). This Section 9.03(c) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims or damages arising from any non-Tax claim. (d) Lender Reimbursement. Each Lender severally agrees to pay any amount required to be paid by the Borrowers under paragraphs (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 9.03 or the Collateral Agency Agreement to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Bank, or any Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each, an “Agent-Related Person”) (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers and without limiting their obligation to do so), ratably according to their respective Applicable Percentage in effect on the date on which such payment is sought under this Section (or, if such payment is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Applicable Percentage immediately prior to such date), and agrees to indemnify and hold each Agent-Related Person harmless from and against any and all Liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent-Related Person in any way relating to or arising out of the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent-Related Person under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that the unreimbursed expense or Liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against such Agent-Related Person in its capacity as such; provided further that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such Liabilities, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from such Agent-Related Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. (e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor. SECTION 9.04. Successors and Assigns.


 
153 (a) General. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) neither of the Borrowers may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer any of their rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender (and any attempted assignment, delegation or transfer by a Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section), the Arrangers, the Documentation Agent and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of any of the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, the Documentation Agent, any Issuing Bank and any Lender) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. (b) Assignments by Lenders. (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign and delegate to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, except in connection with a proposed assignment to any Disqualified Institution) of (A) the Borrowers; provided that no consent of the Borrowers shall be required (1) for an assignment and delegation to a Revolving Lender, an affiliate of a Revolving Lender or an Approved Fund in respect of a Revolving Lender and (2) if an Event of Default of the type set forth in Section 7.01(a), (b), (d) (with respect to any Financial Covenant), (h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing, for any other assignment and delegation; provided, further, that the Borrowers shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment and delegation unless they shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof, (B) the Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment and delegation of all or any portion of a Commitment or Revolving Loan to a Revolving Lender, an affiliate of a Revolving Lender or an Approved Fund in respect of a Revolving Lender and (C) each Issuing Bank, in the case of any assignment and delegation of all or a portion of a Commitment or any Lender’s obligations in respect of its LC Exposure.

154 Assumption or (y) to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to a Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and the parties to the Assignment and Assumption are participants, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided with respect to any assignment pursuant to Section 2.19(b) or 9.02(c), the parties hereto agree that such assignment may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the assignee and that the Lender required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto, and (D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain MNPI) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable law, including Federal, State and foreign securities laws. (iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of (and subject to the obligations and limitations of) Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 and to any fees payable hereunder that have accrued for such Lender’s account but have not yet been paid). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04, other than with respect to Disqualified Institutions, whether or not such assignment or transfer is reflected in the Register, shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with clause (c) of this Section 9.04. (iv) [Reserved]. (v) If any assignment under this Section 9.04(b) is made to any Disqualified Institution without the Borrowers’ prior written consent, then the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Institution and the Administrative Agent and to the extent such Disqualified Institution continues to hold any such Loans or Commitments, (A) terminate any Commitment of such Disqualified Institution and repay the outstanding amount of Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, unpaid fees and all other amounts owing to such Disqualified Institution and/or (B) require such Disqualified Institution to assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 9.04), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Eligible Assignees. Nothing in this Section 9.04 shall be deemed to prejudice any right or remedy that the Borrowers may otherwise have at law or equity.


 
155 (vi) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, each Disqualified Institution (A) will not receive information provided solely to Lenders by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or any Lender (other than the Disqualified Institutions List to any potential assignee for the purpose of determining if such potential assignee is a Disqualified Institution) and will not be permitted to attend or participate in conference calls or meetings attended solely by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, other than the right to receive notices of prepayments and other administrative notices in respect of its Loans or Commitments required to be delivered to Lenders pursuant to Article II and (B) (x) for purposes of determining whether the Required Lenders have (i) consented (or not consented) to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Loan Document or any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, (ii) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document, or (iii) directed or required the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Loan Document, shall not have any right to consent (or not consent), otherwise act or direct or require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to take (or refrain from taking) any such action, and all Loans held by any Disqualified Institution shall be deemed to be not outstanding for all purposes of calculating whether the Required Lenders or all Lenders have taken any actions, except that no amendment, modification or waiver of any Loan Document shall, without the consent of the applicable Disqualified Institution, deprive any Disqualified Institution of its pro rata share of any payment to which all Lenders are entitled and (y) hereby agrees that if a proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law shall be commenced by or against the Borrowers or any other Loan Party, such Disqualified Institution will be deemed to vote in the same proportion as Lenders that are not Disqualified Institutions. (vii) The Administrative Agent shall have the right, and the Borrowers hereby expressly authorize the Administrative Agent, to provide the Disqualified Institutions List to each Lender or potential Lender requesting the same (provided that such Lender or potential Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Disqualified Institutions List (which agreement may be by way of a “click through” or other affirmative action on the part of the recipient to access the Disqualified Institutions List and acknowledge its confidentiality obligations in respect thereof)). (viii) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor the list or identities of, or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof relating to Disqualified Institutions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not (x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or prospective Lender is a Disqualified Institution or (y) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment of Loans, or disclosure of confidential information, to any Disqualified Institution. (ix) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non- fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount (and


 
156 related interest amounts) of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. (x) Upon its receipt of (x) a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee or (y) to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to a Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and the parties to the Assignment and Assumption are participants, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b)(ii) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b)(i) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.05(d) or (e), 2.06(b), 2.18(d) or 9.03(d), the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph. (c) Participations. Any Lender may, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, or any Issuing Bank, sell participations to one or more Eligible Assignees (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. The Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.17(e) (it being understood and agreed that the documentation required under Section 2.17(e) and (f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender and the information and documentation required under 2.17(f) will be delivered to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment and delegation pursuant to


 
157 paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.18 and 2.19 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15 or 2.17, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrowers’ request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrowers to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.19(b) with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (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 this Agreement or any other Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) or Proposed Section 1.163-5(b) of the United States Treasury Regulations (or, in each case, any amended or successor version). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. (d) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank, at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. SECTION 9.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Documentation Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Lender or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time this Agreement or any other Loan Document is executed and delivered or any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under


 
158 this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any LC Exposure is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, in the event that, in connection with the refinancing or repayment in full of the credit facilities provided for herein, an Issuing Bank shall have provided to the Administrative Agent a written consent to the release of the Revolving Lenders from their obligations hereunder with respect to any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank (whether as a result of the obligations of the Borrowers (and any other account party) in respect of such Letter of Credit having been collateralized in full by a deposit of cash with such Issuing Bank, or being supported by a letter of credit that names such Issuing Bank as the beneficiary thereunder, or otherwise), then from and after such time such Letter of Credit shall cease to be a “Letter of Credit” outstanding hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have no participations in such Letter of Credit, and no obligations with respect thereto, under Section 2.05(d) or 2.05(e). The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17, 2.18(e) and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment or prepayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. SECTION 9.06. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. (a) This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent or the syndication of the Loans and Commitments constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. (b) Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of (x) this Agreement, (y) any other Loan Document and/or (z) any document, amendment, approval, consent, information, notice (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any notice delivered pursuant to Section 9.01), certificate, request, statement, disclosure or authorization related to this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or the transactions contemplated hereby and/or thereby (each an “Ancillary Document”) that is an Electronic Signature transmitted by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement, such other Loan Document or such Ancillary Document, as applicable. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in any electronic form (including deliveries by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an


 
159 image of an actual executed signature page), each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be; provided that nothing herein shall require the Administrative Agent to accept Electronic Signatures in any form or format without its prior written consent and pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided, further, without limiting the foregoing, (i) to the extent the Administrative Agent has agreed to accept any Electronic Signature, the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders shall be entitled to rely on such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrowers or any other Loan Party without further verification thereof and without any obligation to review the appearance or form of any such Electronic signature and (ii) upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by a manually executed counterpart. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrowers and each Loan Party hereby (i) agree 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 the Loan Parties, Electronic Signatures transmitted by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page and/or any electronic images of this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as any paper original, (ii) the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders may, at its option, create one or more copies of this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document in the form of an imaged electronic record in any format, which shall be deemed created in the ordinary course of such Person’s business, and destroy the original paper document (and all such electronic records shall be considered an original for all purposes and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record), (iii) waive any argument, defense or right to contest the legal effect, validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document based solely on the lack of paper original copies of this Agreement, such other Loan Document and/or such Ancillary Document, respectively, including with respect to any signature pages thereto and (iv) waive any claim against any Lender-Related Person for any Liabilities arising solely from the Administrative Agent’s and/or any Lender’s reliance on or use of Electronic Signatures and/or transmissions by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page, including any Liabilities arising as a result of the failure of the Borrowers and/or any Loan Party to use any available security measures in connection with the execution, delivery or transmission of any Electronic Signature. SECTION 9.07. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. SECTION 9.08. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each Issuing Bank is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) or other amounts at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender or such Issuing Bank to or for the credit or the account of the Borrowers against any of and all


 
160 the obligations then due of the Borrowers now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender or such Issuing Bank, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or such Issuing Bank shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations of the Borrowers are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or such Issuing Bank different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such Indebtedness. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank agrees to notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give or any delay in giving such notice shall not affect the validity of any such setoff and application under this Section. The rights of each Lender and each Issuing Bank under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or such Issuing Bank may have. SECTION 9.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) This Agreement and any claim, controversy, dispute or cause of action (whether in contract or tort or otherwise) based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York. (b) Each of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that, notwithstanding the governing law provisions of any applicable Loan Document, any claims brought against the Administrative Agent by any Secured Party relating to this Agreement, any other Loan Document, the Collateral or the consummation or administration of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York. (c) Each of the Borrowers hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan (or if such court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan), and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions relating hereto or thereto, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may (and any such claims, cross-claims or third party claims brought against the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties may only) be heard and determined in such Federal (to the extent permitted by law) or New York State court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against any Loan Party or any of its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. (d) Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action, litigation or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (c) of this Section. Each of the


 
161 parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. (e) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01; provided that the Company hereby acknowledges that it has appointed C T CORPORATION SYSTEM, 28 Liberty Street, New York, New York 10005, as its agent for service of process, and agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by hand delivery or registered mail upon such agent shall be effective service of process for any suit, action or proceeding brought in any court referred to in Section 9.09(c). Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. SECTION 9.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION. SECTION 9.11. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement. SECTION 9.12. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors, it being understood and agreed that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential, (b) to the extent required or requested by any Governmental Authority (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any Proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing confidentiality undertakings substantially similar to those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Disqualified Institutions List for the purpose of determining if a potential assignee is a


 
162 Disqualified Institution) or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its Related Parties) to or provider of, as applicable, any Hedging Agreement, Cash Management Services, LC Facility or Supply Chain Financing (including any Supply Chain Bank Purchaser) relating to the Borrowers or any Subsidiary and their obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (g) on a confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating the Borrowers or their Subsidiaries or the credit facility provided for herein or (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of identification numbers with respect to the credit facility provided for herein, (h) with the consent of the Borrowers, (i) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrowers or (j) to any credit insurance provider or potential credit insurance provider relating to the Borrowers or their Obligations. For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrowers relating to the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or their businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrowers and other than information pertaining to this Agreement routinely provided by arrangers to data service providers, including league table providers, that serve the lending industry; provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. SECTION 9.13. Interest Rate Limitation Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan or participation in any LC Disbursement, together with all fees, charges and other amounts that are treated as interest on such Loan or LC Disbursement or participation therein under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan or LC Disbursement or participation therein in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan or LC Disbursement or participation therein but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or LC Disbursements or participation therein or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the NYFRB Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender. SECTION 9.14. Release of Liens and Guarantees. Subject to the reinstatement provisions set forth in the New York-Law Guarantee or any Security Document, a Guarantor shall automatically be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents, and all security interests created by the Security Documents in Collateral owned by such Guarantor shall be automatically released, upon the consummation of any transaction permitted by this Agreement as a result of which such Guarantor ceases to be a Subsidiary; provided that, if so required by


 
163 this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall have consented to such transaction and the terms of such consent shall not have provided otherwise. Upon any sale or other transfer by any Loan Party (other than to the Borrowers or any other Loan Party) of any Collateral in a transaction permitted under this Agreement, or upon the effectiveness of any written consent to the release of the security interest created under any Security Document in any Collateral pursuant to Section 9.02, the security interests in such Collateral created by the Security Documents shall be automatically released. Upon payment in full of the Loan Document Obligations (other than contingent amounts not yet due), expiration or termination of all Commitments and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit (other than those collateralized or back-stopped on terms reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank) and reimbursement of all LC Disbursements, the security interests granted to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Security Documents shall terminate. In connection with any termination or release pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to any Loan Party, at such Loan Party’s expense, all documents that such Loan Party shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent. Each of the Secured Parties irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to effect the releases set forth in this Section, the Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent such officer’s certificates as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to evidence compliance with the applicable provisions of the Loan Documents (including the Administrative Agent’s authority hereunder) and the Secured Parties acknowledge and agree that the Administrative Agent may rely, without independent investigation on such certificates. SECTION 9.15. USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender, each Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies each Loan Party that, pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies such Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of such Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender, such Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act, and each Loan Party agrees to provide such information from time to time to such Lender, such Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent, as applicable. SECTION 9.16. No Fiduciary Relationship. The Borrowers acknowledge and agree, and acknowledge their Subsidiaries’ understanding, that no Credit Party will have any obligations except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents and each Credit Party is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length contractual counterparty to the Borrowers with respect to the Loan Documents and the transaction contemplated therein and not as a financial advisor or a fiduciary to, or an agent of, the Borrowers or any other person. The Borrowers agree that they will not assert any claim against any Credit Party based on an alleged breach of fiduciary duty by such Credit Party in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Additionally, the Borrowers acknowledge and agree that no Credit Party is advising the Borrowers as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting, regulatory or any other matters in any jurisdiction. The Borrowers shall consult with their own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making their own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Credit Parties shall have no responsibility or liability to the Borrowers with respect thereto.


 
164 The Borrowers further acknowledge and agree, and acknowledge their Subsidiaries’ understanding, that each Credit Party is a full service securities or banking firm engaged in securities trading and brokerage activities as well as providing investment banking and other financial services. In the ordinary course of business, any Credit Party may provide investment banking and other financial services to, and/or acquire, hold or sell, for its own accounts and the accounts of customers, equity, debt and other securities and financial instruments (including bank loans and other obligations) of, you and other companies with which you may have commercial or other relationships. With respect to any securities and/or financial instruments so held by any Credit Party or any of its customers, all rights in respect of such securities and financial instruments, including any voting rights, will be exercised by the holder of the rights, in its sole discretion. In addition, the Borrowers acknowledge and agree, and acknowledge their Subsidiaries’ understanding, that each Credit Party and its affiliates may be providing debt financing, equity capital or other services (including financial advisory services) to other companies in respect of which you may have conflicting interests regarding the transactions described herein and otherwise. No Credit Party will use confidential information obtained from you by virtue of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or its other relationships with you in connection with the performance by such Credit Party of services for other companies, and no Credit Party will furnish any such information to other companies. You also acknowledge that no Credit Party has any obligation to use in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, or to furnish to you, confidential information obtained from other companies. SECTION 9.17. Non-Public Information. (a) Each Lender acknowledges that all information, including requests for waivers and amendments, furnished by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent pursuant to or in connection with, or in the course of administering, this Agreement will be syndicate-level information, which may contain MNPI. Each Lender represents to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent that (i) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of MNPI and that it will handle MNPI in accordance with such procedures and applicable law, including Federal, State and foreign securities laws, and (ii) it has identified in its Administrative Questionnaire a credit contact who may receive information that may contain MNPI in accordance with its compliance procedures and applicable law, including Federal, State and foreign securities laws. (b) The Borrowers and each Lender acknowledge that, if information furnished by the Borrowers pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement is being distributed by the Administrative Agent through the Platform, (i) the Administrative Agent may post any information that the Borrowers have indicated as containing MNPI solely on that portion of the Platform as is designated for private side Lender representatives and (ii) if the Borrowers have not indicated whether any information furnished by it pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement contains MNPI, the Administrative Agent reserves the right to post such information solely on that portion of the Platform as is designated for private side Lender representatives. The Borrowers agree to clearly designate all information provided to the Administrative Agent by or on behalf of the Borrowers that is suitable to be made available to public side Lender


 
165 representatives, and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely on any such designation by the Borrowers without liability or responsibility for the independent verification thereof. SECTION 9.18. Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document 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 entity, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or (iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority. SECTION 9.19. Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”, and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States): (a) In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes


 
166 subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support. (b) As used in this Section 9.19, the following terms have the following meanings: “BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party. “Covered Entity” means any of the following: (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82 (b); (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b). “Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable. “QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D). SECTION 9.20. Judgment Currency. If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due from any Borrower hereunder in the currency expressed to be payable herein (the “specified currency”) into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with usual and customary banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the specified currency with such other currency at any of the Administrative Agent’s offices in the United States of America on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligations of such Borrower in respect of any sum due to any Credit Party hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than the specified currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender, the applicable Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency such Lender, the applicable Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal, reasonable banking procedures purchase the specified currency with such other currency. If the amount of the specified currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Lender, the applicable Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency, such Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender, the applicable Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, against such loss, and if the amount of the specified currency so purchased exceeds


 
167 (a) the sum originally due to any Lender, the applicable Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency and (b) any amounts shared with other Lenders as a result of allocations of such excess as a disproportionate payment to such Lender under Section 2.18, each Lender, Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, agrees to promptly remit such excess to such Borrower (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law). SECTION 9.21. Borrower Representative. The U.S. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Company as its agent for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including with respect to (i) the giving and receipt of notices (including any Borrowing Request) and (ii) the execution and delivery of all documents, instruments and certificates contemplated herein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the U.S. Borrower hereby acknowledges that any amendment or other modification to this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be effected as set forth in Section 9.02, that no consent of the U.S. Borrower shall be required to effect any such amendment or other modification and that the U.S. Borrower shall be bound by this Agreement or any other Loan Document (to which it is already a party) as so amended or modified.

POLICY FOR RECOVERY OF ERRONEOUSLY AWARDED COMPENSATION
December 1, 2023


TechnipFMC plc (the “Company”) has adopted this Policy for Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation (the “Policy”), effective as of December 1, 2023 (the “Effective Date”), which Policy is an amendment and restatement of the Company’s Clawback Policy, dated as of February 20, 2018 (the “Prior Policy”). Capitalized terms used in this Policy but not otherwise defined herein are defined in Section 11.

1.Persons Subject to Policy

This Policy shall apply to current and former Officers.

2.Compensation Subject to Policy

This Policy shall apply to (a) all Incentive-Based Compensation received on or after the Effective Date and (b) in the sole discretion of the Committee in the event of Significant Misconduct, any incentive compensation paid, awarded, or vested within the Significant Misconduct Period. For purposes of this Policy, the date on which Incentive-Based Compensation is “received” shall be determined under the Applicable Rules, which generally provide that Incentive-Based Compensation is “received” in the Company’s fiscal period during which the relevant Financial Reporting Measure is attained or satisfied, without regard to whether the grant, vesting or payment of the Incentive-Based Compensation occurs after the end of that period.

3.Recovery of Compensation

In the event that the Company is required to prepare a Restatement, the Company shall recover, reasonably promptly and in accordance with Section 4 below, the portion of any Incentive-Based Compensation that is Erroneously Awarded Compensation, unless the Committee has determined that recovery from the relevant current or former Officer would be Impracticable. Recovery shall be required in accordance with the preceding sentence regardless of whether the applicable Officer engaged in misconduct or otherwise caused or contributed to the requirement for the Restatement and regardless of whether or when restated financial statements are filed by the Company. In addition, in the event any Officer engages in Significant Misconduct, the Company may, in the sole discretion of the Committee, recover incentive compensation paid, awarded, or vested during the Significant Misconduct Period. For clarity, the recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation or other incentive compensation under this Policy will not give rise to any Officer’s right to voluntarily terminate employment for “good reason” or due to a “constructive termination” (or any similar term of like effect) under any plan, program or policy of or agreement with the Company or any of its affiliates.

4.Manner of Recovery; Limitation on Duplicative Recovery

The Committee shall, in its sole discretion, determine the manner of recovery of any Erroneously Awarded Compensation or other incentive compensation in the event of an Officer’s Significant Misconduct, which may include, without limitation, reduction or cancellation by the Company or an affiliate of the Company of Incentive-Based Compensation or Erroneously Awarded Compensation and any other incentive compensation in the event of an Officer’s Significant Misconduct, reimbursement or repayment by any person subject to this Policy, and, to the extent permitted by law, an offset of the Erroneously Awarded Compensation, or other incentive compensation in the event of an Officer’s Significant Misconduct, against other compensation payable by the Company or an affiliate of the Company to such person.



Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise prohibited by the Applicable Rules, to the extent this Policy provides for recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation already recovered by the Company pursuant to Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 or Other Recovery Arrangements, the amount of Erroneously Awarded Compensation already recovered by the Company from the recipient of such Erroneously Awarded Compensation may be credited to the amount of Erroneously Awarded Compensation required to be recovered pursuant to this Policy from such person.
5.Administration

This Policy shall be administered, interpreted and construed by the Committee, which is authorized to make all determinations necessary, appropriate or advisable for such purpose. The Board may re-vest in itself the authority to administer, interpret and construe this Policy in accordance with applicable law, and in such event references herein to the “Committee” shall be deemed to be references to the Board. Subject to any permitted review by the applicable national securities exchange or association pursuant to the Applicable Rules, all determinations and decisions made by the Committee pursuant to the provisions of this Policy shall be final, conclusive and binding on all persons, including the Company and its affiliates, stockholders and employees. The Committee may delegate administrative duties with respect to this Policy to one or more directors or employees of the Company, as permitted under applicable law, including any Applicable Rules.

6.Interpretation

This Policy shall be interpreted and applied in a manner that is consistent with the requirements of the Applicable Rules, and to the extent this Policy is inconsistent with such Applicable Rules, it shall be deemed amended to the minimum extent necessary to ensure compliance therewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the application and interpretation of this Policy with respect to Significant Misconduct and any related recovery of incentive compensation shall be in the sole discretion of the Committee unless otherwise required by the Applicable Rules.

7.No Indemnification; No Liability

The Company shall not indemnify or insure any person against the loss of any Erroneously Awarded Compensation pursuant to this Policy, nor shall the Company directly or indirectly pay or reimburse any person for any premiums for third-party insurance policies that such person may elect to purchase to fund such person’s potential obligations under this Policy. None of the Company, an affiliate of the Company or any member of the Committee or the Board shall have any liability to any person as a result of actions taken under this Policy.

8.Application; Enforceability

Effective as of the Effective Date, this Policy will supersede the Prior Policy in all respects. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee or the Board, the adoption of this Policy does not limit, and is intended to apply in addition to, any Other Recovery Arrangements. Subject to Section 4, the remedy specified in this Policy shall not be exclusive and shall be in addition to every other right or remedy at law or in equity that may be available to the Company or an affiliate of the Company or is otherwise required by applicable law and regulations.

9.Severability

The provisions in this Policy are intended to be applied to the fullest extent of the law; provided, however, to the extent that any provision of this Policy is found to be unenforceable or invalid under any applicable law, such provision will be applied to the maximum extent permitted, and shall automatically be deemed amended in a manner consistent with its objectives to the extent necessary to conform to any limitations required under applicable law.



10.Amendment and Termination

The Board or the Committee may amend, modify or terminate this Policy in whole or in part at any time and from time to time in its sole discretion. This Policy will terminate automatically when the Company does not have a class of securities listed on a national securities exchange or association.
