If on a Pro Forma Basis after giving effect to such Limited Condition Transaction and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof), with such ratios and other provisions being calculated as if such Limited Condition Transaction or other transactions had occurred at the beginning of the most recent Test Period ending prior to the LCA Test Date for which financial statements are available, the Borrower could have taken such action on the relevant LCA Test Date in compliance with the applicable ratios or other provisions, such ratios or provisions shall be deemed to have been complied with, unless a Specified Event of Default shall be continuing on the date such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated. For the avoidance of doubt, (a) if any of such ratios or other provisions are exceeded or breached as a result of fluctuations in such ratio (including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA) or other provisions at or prior to the consummation of the relevant Limited Condition Transaction, such ratios and other provisions will not be deemed to have been exceeded or breached solely for purposes of determining whether the Limited Condition Transaction is permitted hereunder and (b) such ratios and compliance with such conditions shall not be tested at the time of consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction or related Specified Transactions, unless on such date a Specified Event of Default shall be continuing. If the Borrower has made an LCA Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio or basket availability with respect to any other Specified Transaction on or following the relevant LCA Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such ratio or basket shall be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any Loan Document to the contrary, if the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary (i) incurs Indebtedness, creates Liens, makes dispositions, makes investments, makes Restricted Payments, designates any Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary or an Unrestricted Subsidiary or repays any Indebtedness in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction under a ratio-based basket and (ii) incurs Indebtedness, creates Liens, makes dispositions, makes Investments, makes Restricted Payments, designates any Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary or an Unrestricted Subsidiary or repays any Indebtedness in connection with such Limited Condition Transaction under a non-ratio-based basket (which shall occur within five Business Days of the events in the preceding clause (i) 88 US-DOCS\97700238.15141444430.9 above), then the applicable ratio will be calculated with respect to any such action under the applicable ratio-based basket without regard to any such action under such non-ratio-based basket made in connection with such Limited Condition Transaction. SECTION 1.10. Interest Rates; Benchmark Notification. The interest rate on a Loan denominated in dollars may be derived from an interest rate benchmark that may be discontinued or is, or may in the future become, the subject of regulatory reform. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, Section 2.11(2) provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission, performance or any other matter related to any interest rate used in this Agreement, or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof, 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 existing interest rate being replaced or have the same volume or liquidity as did any existing interest rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates and/or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of any interest rate used in this Agreement or any alternative, successor or alternative rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) and/or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrower. The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain any interest rate used in this Agreement, any component thereof, or rates referenced in the definition thereof, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service. ARTICLE II The Credits SECTION 2.01. Term Loans and Borrowings. (1) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender severally agrees to make to the Borrower Term Loans denominated in Dollars equal to such Lender’s Commitment on the Closing Date (the “Initial Term Loans”). The failure of any Lender to make any Initial Term Loan required to be made by it will not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender will be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Initial Term Loans as required. Amounts paid or prepaid in respect of Initial Term Loans may not be reborrowed. A portion of the proceeds of the Initial Term Loans equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Impax Convertible Notes outstanding on the Closing Date shall 89 US-DOCS\97700238.15141444430.9 be deposited by (or at the direction of) the Borrower into the Escrow Account (the “Escrowed Funds”). (2) Subject to Sections 2.04(7) and 2.11, each Borrowing will be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or EurocurrencyTerm Benchmark Loans as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith. Each Lender at its option may make any ABR Loan or EurocurrencyTerm Benchmark Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Term Loan; provided that any exercise of such option will not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Term Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and such Lender will not be entitled to any amounts payable under Section 2.12 or 2.14 solely in respect of increased costs resulting from, and existing at the time of, such exercise. (3) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the funded portion of the Initial Term Loans (i.e., the amount advanced in cash to the Borrower on the Closing Date) will be equal to 99.50% of the principal amount of such Term Loan (it being agreed that the Borrower is obligated to repay 100.00% of the principal amount of the Initial Term Loans, the Initial Term Loans will amortize based on 100.00% of the principal amount of the Initial Term Loan and interest will accrue on 100.00% of the principal amount of the Initial Term Loan, in each case as provided herein). (4) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower will not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Maturity Date. SECTION 2.02. Request for Borrowing. Subject to Section 4.01(2), the Borrower will deliver to the Administrative Agent a Borrowing Request not later than 12:00 p.m., New York City time, one Business Day prior to the anticipated Closing Date, requesting that the Lenders make Term Loans on the Closing Date (or such later date or time as the Administrative Agent may agree), which Borrowing Request may be conditioned on the consummation of the Acquisition. The Borrowing Request must specify: (1) the principal amount of Term Loans to be borrowed; (2) the requested date of the Borrowing (which will be a Business Day); (3) the Type of Term Loans to be borrowed; (4) in the case of a EurocurrencyTerm Benchmark Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which will be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period;” and (5) the location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed (which, for the avoidance of doubt, may be provided by reference to a separate “funds flow” document). 90 US-DOCS\97700238.15141444430.9
If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified in the applicable Borrowing Request, then the Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period with respect to any EurocurrencyTerm Benchmark Borrowing is specified in the applicable Borrowing Request, then the Borrower will be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one-month’s duration. Upon receipt of such Borrowing Request, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender thereof. The proceeds of the Term Loans requested under this Section 2.02 will be disbursed by the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds by wire transfer to such bank account or accounts as designated by the Borrower in the Borrowing Request. SECTION 2.03. Funding of Borrowings. (1) Each Lender will make each Term Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 10:00 a.m., New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. Subject to the last sentence of Section 2.01(1), the Administrative Agent will make such Term Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower as specified in the Borrowing Request. (2) Unless the Administrative Agent has 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 (1) of this Section 2.03 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, forthwith on demand (without duplication) such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent at (a) in the case of such Lender, the greater of (i) the Federal Funds Rate and (ii) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (b) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans at such time. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent then such amount will constitute such Lender’s Term Loan included in such Borrowing. SECTION 2.04. Interest Elections. (1) Subject to Section 2.02, each Borrowing initially will be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a EurocurrencyTerm Benchmark Borrowing, will have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a EurocurrencyTerm Benchmark Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section 2.04. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion will be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Term Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Term Loans comprising 91 US-DOCS\97700238.15141444430.9 each such portion will be considered a separate Borrowing; provided that the Term Loans comprising any Borrowing will be in an aggregate principal amount that is an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than $1,000,000; provided further that there shall not be more than ten EurocurrencyTerm Benchmark Borrowings outstanding hereunder at any time. (2) To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.04 following the Closing Date, the Borrower will notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone (a) in the case of an election to convert to or continue a EurocurrencyTerm Benchmark Borrowing, not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the effective date of such election or (b) in the case of an election to convert to ora RFR Borrowing, not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, five Business Days before the effective date of such election or (c) in the case of an election to convert to or continue an ABR Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date of such election (or in each case, at such later date or time as the Administrative Agent may agree). Each such telephonic Interest Election Request will be confirmed promptly by hand delivery, facsimile transmission or e-mail to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request. (3) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request will be irrevocable and will specify the following information: (a) 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 (c) and (d) below will be specified for each resulting Borrowing); (b) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which will be a Business Day; (c) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Borrowing; and, a Term Benchmark Borrowing or a RFR Borrowing; provided that the Borrower shall not be entitled to request a RFR Borrowing unless Daily Simple SOFR is being used as the Benchmark Replacement pursuant to Section 2.11; and (d) if the resulting Borrowing is a EurocurrencyTerm Benchmark Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which will be a period contemplated by the definition of “Interest Period.” (4) If any such Interest Election Request requests a EurocurrencyTerm Benchmark Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower will be deemed to have selected a EurocurrencyTerm Benchmark Borrowing having an Interest Period of one month’s duration. 92 US-DOCS\97700238.15141444430.9 (5) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent will advise each applicable Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing. (6) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a EurocurrencyTerm Benchmark 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 such Borrowing will be automatically converted into or continued an ABR Borrowing. (7) Any portion of a Borrowing maturing or required to be repaid in less than one month may not be converted into or continued as a EurocurrencyTerm Benchmark Borrowing. (8) Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the written request (including a request through electronic means) of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as such Event of Default is continuing, (a) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a EurocurrencyTerm Benchmark Borrowing and (b) unless repaid, each EurocurrencyTerm Benchmark Borrowing will be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto. SECTION 2.05. Promise to Pay; Evidence of Debt. (1) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Term Loan of such Lender as provided in Section 2.06. (2) Each Lender will maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the Indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Term Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. (3) The Administrative Agent will maintain accounts in which it will record (a) the amount of each Term Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and the Interest Period (if any) applicable thereto, (b) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (c) any amount received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof. (4) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (2) or (3) of this Section 2.05 will be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein will not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Term Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. (5) Any Lender may request that Term Loans made by it be evidenced by a Note. In such event, the Borrower will prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a Note payable to such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) 93 US-DOCS\97700238.15141444430.9 and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. SECTION 2.06. Repayment of Term Loans. (1) The Borrower will repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders on the last Business Day of each fiscal quarter of the Borrower, commencing with the last Business Day of the fiscal quarter of the Borrower ending on September 30, 2018, an aggregate principal amount equal to 0.25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Initial Term Loans outstanding on the Closing Date, which payments will be reduced as a result of the application of prepayments in accordance with the order of priority set forth in Section 2.07 or 2.08, as applicable (each such date being referred to as an “Initial Term Loan Installment Date”); (2) (a) In the event that any Incremental Term Loans are made, the Borrower will repay Borrowings consisting of Incremental Term Loans on the dates (each an “Incremental Term Loan Installment Date”) and in the amounts set forth in the applicable Incremental Facility Amendment, (b) in the event that any Refinancing Term Loans are made, the Borrower will repay Borrowings consisting of Refinancing Term Loans on the dates (each an “Refinancing Term Loan Installment Date”) and in the amounts set forth in the applicable Refinancing Amendment and (c) in the event that any Extended Term Loans are made, the Borrower will repay Borrowings consisting of Extended Term Loans on the dates (each an “Extended Term Loan Installment Date”) and in the amounts set forth in the applicable Extension Amendment; and (3) to the extent not previously paid, all outstanding Term Loans will be due and payable on the applicable Maturity Date; together, in each case, with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to but excluding the date of such payment. SECTION 2.07. Optional Prepayment of Term Loans. The Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay the Term Loans in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (except as provided in Section 2.21 and subject to Section 2.13), in an aggregate principal amount, (1) in the case of EurocurrencyTerm Benchmark Loans, that is an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than $1.0 million, and (2) in the case of ABR Loans or RFR Loans, that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $1.0 million, or, in each case, if less, the amount outstanding. The Borrower will notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by hand delivery, facsimile transmission or e-mail) of such election not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, (a) in the case of a EurocurrencyTerm Benchmark Borrowing, three Business Days before the anticipated date of such prepayment and, (b) in the case of a RFR Borrowing, five Business Days before the anticipated date of such prepayment and (c) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, one Business Day before the anticipated date of such prepayment (or in each case, at such later date or time as the Administrative Agent may agree). Each such notice of prepayment will specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing (or portion thereof) to be prepaid. All prepayments under this Section 2.07 will be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the 94 US-DOCS\97700238.15141444430.9
principal amount to be prepaid to but excluding the date of payment. Any such notice may be revocable or conditioned on a refinancing of all or any portion of a Term Facility. Any optional prepayments of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.07 will be applied to the remaining scheduled amortization payments as directed by the Borrower (or in the absence of such direction, in direct order of maturity) and, subject to the immediately succeeding sentence, will be applied ratably to the Term Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Notwithstanding anything in any Loan Document to the contrary (including Section 2.15), so long as no Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and no proceeds of any ABL Loans are used to consummate any such prepayment, the Borrower may prepay Term Loans of one or more Class on a non-pro rata basis at or below par in accordance with the Dutch Auction Procedures. SECTION 2.08. Mandatory Prepayment of Term Loans. (1) Subject to Sections 2.08(6), 2.08(8) and 2.08(9), the Borrower will apply 100% of all Net Cash Proceeds received by it or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in an Asset Sale made pursuant to the General Asset Sale Basket (other than any ABL Priority Collateral Asset Sale) or any Sale Leaseback Transaction to prepay Term Loans within ten Business Days following receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds; provided that: (a) if at the time that any such prepayment would be required, the Borrower is required to, or to offer to, repurchase, redeem, repay or prepay any Pari Passu Lien Debt or ABL Loans (any such Pari Passu Lien Debt and ABL Loans, “Other Applicable Indebtedness”) with such Net Cash Proceeds, then the Borrower may apply such Net Cash Proceeds to redeem, repurchase, repay or prepay Term Loans and Other Applicable Indebtedness (in the case of any revolving facilities to the extent accompanied by a permanent reduction of the corresponding commitment) on a pro rata basis (or more favorable basis from the perspective of the applicable Lenders) and the amount of prepayment of the Term Loans that would have otherwise been required pursuant to this Section 2.08(1) will be reduced accordingly; (b) for purposes of the preceding clause (a), pro rata basis will be determined on the basis of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans and Other Applicable Indebtedness outstanding at such time, with it being agreed that the portion of such Net Cash Proceeds allocated to the Other Applicable Indebtedness will not exceed the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds required to be allocated to the Other Applicable Indebtedness pursuant to the terms thereof, and the remaining amount, if any, of such Net Cash Proceeds will be allocated to the prepayment of the Term Loans (in accordance with the terms hereof) to the extent such Net Cash Proceeds would otherwise have been required to be so applied if such Other Applicable Indebtedness was not then outstanding; and (c) to the extent the holders of Other Applicable Indebtedness decline to have such Indebtedness repurchased, redeemed, repaid or prepaid, the declined amount will promptly (and in any event within ten Business Days after the date of such rejection) be applied to prepay the Term Loans in accordance with the terms 95 US-DOCS\97700238.15141444430.9 hereof (to the extent such Net Cash Proceeds would otherwise have been required to be so applied if such Other Applicable Indebtedness was not then outstanding). (2) Subject to Section 2.08(6) and 2.08(9), commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019, not later than five Business Days after the Financial Officer certificate pursuant to Section 5.04(3) for the corresponding Excess Cash Flow Period shall have been delivered or required to be delivered, the Borrower will apply the following amount to the prepayment of Term Loans: (a) the Required Percentage of such Excess Cash Flow (if any); minus (b) the sum of: (i) voluntary prepayments of Term Loans and Pari Passu Lien Debt (including those made through debt buybacks and in the case of below-par buybacks in an amount equal to the discounted amount actually paid in cash in respect thereof), in each case other than revolving Indebtedness; and (ii) loans under the ABL Credit Agreement, any ABL Incremental Facility or other revolving Pari Passu Lien Debt (to the extent accompanied by a corresponding reduction in the commitments); in each case, (x) during such Excess Cash Flow Period or following the end of such Excess Cash Flow Period and prior to the date of delivery of such Financial Officer certificate (provided that, with respect to any such amount following the end of such Excess Cash Flow Period, such amount is not included in any subsequent calculation pursuant to this clause (b)) and (y) to the extent such prepayments are not funded with the proceeds of Funded Debt; provided that no such payment shall be required if such amount is equal to or less than $15,000,000; provided, further, that: (A) if at the time that any such prepayment would be required, the Borrower is required to, or to offer to, repurchase, redeem, repay or prepay any Pari Passu Lien Debt with all or a portion of such Excess Cash Flow (any such Pari Passu Lien Debt, “Other Applicable ECF Indebtedness”), then the Borrower may apply such Excess Cash Flow to redeem, repurchase, repay or prepay Term Loans and Other Applicable ECF Indebtedness (in the case of any revolving facilities, to the extent accompanied by a permanent reduction of corresponding commitments) on a pro rata basis (or more favorable basis from the perspective of the applicable Lenders) and the amount of prepayment of the Term Loans that would have otherwise been required pursuant to this Section 2.08(2) will be reduced accordingly; (B) for purposes of the preceding clause (A), pro rata basis will be determined on the basis of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans and Other Applicable ECF Indebtedness outstanding at such time, with it being agreed that the portion of such Excess Cash Flow allocated to the 96 US-DOCS\97700238.15141444430.9 Other Applicable ECF Indebtedness will not exceed the amount of such Excess Cash Flow required to be allocated to the Other Applicable ECF Indebtedness pursuant to the terms thereof, and the remaining amount, if any, of such Excess Cash Flow will be allocated to the prepayment of the Term Loans in accordance with the terms hereof (to the extent such Excess Cash Flow would otherwise have been required to be so applied if such Other Applicable ECF Indebtedness was not then outstanding); and (c) to the extent the holders of Other Applicable ECF Indebtedness decline to have such indebtedness repurchased, repaid or prepaid, the declined amount will promptly (and in any event within ten Business Days after the date of such rejection) be applied to prepay the Term Loans in accordance with the terms hereof (to the extent such Excess Cash Flow would otherwise have been required to be so applied if such Other Applicable ECF Indebtedness was not then outstanding). (3) On the date that is the earlier of (x) 45 Business Days following the Closing Date and (y) the date of settlement of the Specified Tender Offer (such earlier date, the “Specified Tender Offer Prepayment Date”), the Borrower will prepay the Term Loans in an amount equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of any Impax Convertible Notes, if any, on the Specified Tender Offer Prepayment Date after giving effect to the Specified Tender Offer, if any. (4) The Borrower will apply 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds from the incurrence, issuance or sale by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary of any Indebtedness that is not Excluded Indebtedness to the prepayment of Term Loans, on or prior to the date which is five Business Days after the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds. (5) Except as may otherwise be set forth in any Permitted Amendment to the extent permitted by the terms hereof, (a) each prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.08(1), (2), (3) and (4) will be applied ratably to each Class of Term Loans then outstanding, (b) with respect to each Class of Loans, each prepayment pursuant to Section 2.08(1), (2), (3) and (4) will be applied to the then remaining scheduled installments of principal thereof pursuant to Section 2.06 as directed by the Borrower (and absent such direction, in direct order of maturity), and (c) each such prepayment shall be paid to the Lenders in accordance with their respective proportionate shares (based on each such Lender’s participation in the Term Loans prepaid). (6) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.08 to the contrary, any Lender may elect, by notice to the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by hand delivery, facsimile transmission or e-mail) at least two Business Days prior to the required prepayment date, to decline all or any portion of any mandatory prepayment of its Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.08 (other than clauses (3) and (4) of this Section 2.08), in which case the aggregate amount of the prepayment that would have been applied to prepay Term Loans but was so declined will be retained by the Borrower and applied for any permitted purpose hereunder. Such prepayments will be applied on a pro rata basis to the then 97 US-DOCS\97700238.15141444430.9 outstanding Term Loans being prepaid irrespective of whether such outstanding Term Loans are ABR Loans or Eurocurrency, Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans. (7) The Borrower will deliver to the Administrative Agent, at the time of each prepayment required under this Section 2.08, (a) a certificate signed by a Financial Officer of the Borrower setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount of such prepayment and (b) to the extent practicable, at least three (3) Business Days prior written notice of such prepayment. Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date, the Type of each Term Loan being prepaid and the principal amount of each Term Loan (or portion thereof) to be prepaid. Prepayment of the Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.08 will be made without premium or penalty, accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be prepaid to but excluding the date of payment. No payments under Section 2.13 will be required in connection with a prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.08. (8) With respect to any Net Cash Proceeds received with respect to any Asset Sale that gives rise to a prepayment event pursuant to Section 2.08(1), at the option of the Borrower, the Borrower may (in lieu of making a prepayment pursuant to Section 2.08(1)) elect to reinvest (directly, or through one or more of its Restricted Subsidiaries) an amount equal to all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds (the “Reinvestment Deferred Amount”) in assets used or useful for the business of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries (a) within eighteen (18) months following receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds or (b) if the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries enters into a legally binding commitment to reinvest such Net Cash Proceeds within eighteen (18) months following receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds, no later than one hundred and eighty (180) days after the end of such eighteen month period. (9) Notwithstanding any provisions of this Section 2.08 to the contrary, (a) to the extent that a Responsible Officer of the Borrower has reasonably determined in good faith in consultation with the Administrative Agent that any or all of the Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow giving rise to a prepayment event pursuant to Section 2.08(1), (2) or (4) is prohibited or delayed by applicable local law from being repatriated to the United States, the portion of such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to prepay Term Loans at the times provided in this Section 2.08, but may be retained by the Borrower or the applicable Subsidiary for so long, but only so long, as the applicable local law will not permit repatriation to the United States. Once such repatriation of any of such affected Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow is permitted under the applicable local law, such repatriation will be effected promptly and such repatriated Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow will be promptly applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) to the prepayment of the Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.08 to the extent provided herein; provided that the Borrower hereby agrees, and will cause any applicable Subsidiary, to promptly take all commercially reasonable actions required by applicable local law to permit any such repatriation; or 98 US-DOCS\97700238.15141444430.9
(b) to the extent that a Responsible Officer of the Borrower has reasonably determined in good faith in consultation with the Administrative Agent that repatriation of any of or all the Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow giving rise to a prepayment event pursuant to this Section 2.08 would have an adverse tax cost consequence, then in each case the Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to prepay Term Loans at the times provided in this Section 2.08, but may be retained by the Borrower or the applicable Subsidiary without being repatriated. The non- application of Net Cash Proceeds as a consequence of this Section 2.08 will not constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement. Such amounts shall not be deemed to be Net Cash Proceeds, regardless of whether the limitations set forth above in clauses (a) or (b) cease to apply after such initial determination. (c) For purposes of this Section 2.08(9), references to “law” mean, with respect to any Person, (A) the common law and any federal, state, local, foreign, multinational or international statutes, laws, treaties, judicial decisions, standards, rules and regulations, guidances, guidelines, ordinances, rules, judgments, writs, orders, decrees, codes, plans, injunctions, permits, concessions, grants, franchises, governmental agreements and governmental restrictions (including administrative or judicial precedents or authorities), in each case whether now or hereafter in effect, and (B) the interpretation or administration thereof by, and other determinations, directives, requirements or requests of, any Governmental Authority, in each case whether or not having the force of law and that are applicable to or binding (or purported to be binding) upon such Person, its Subsidiaries or any of its or their property or to which such Person, any of its Subsidiaries or any of its or their property is subject (or purported to be subject). SECTION 2.09. Fees. (1) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, the “Agency Fee” in respect of the Term Facility set forth in the Agency Fee Letter at the times and on the terms specified therein or in such other amounts and at such other times as may be separately agreed in writing by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower from time to time (the “Administrative Agent Fees”). (2) All Fees will be paid on the dates due and payable, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office for distribution, if and as appropriate, among the Lenders. Once paid, none of the Fees will be refundable under any circumstances (except as expressly agreed between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, including pursuant to the Agency Fee Letter). SECTION 2.10. Interest. 99 US-DOCS\97700238.15141444430.9 (1) The Term Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing and RFR Borrowing will bear interest at the ABR or Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR, respectively, plus the Applicable Margin. (2) The Term Loans comprising each EurocurrencyTerm Benchmark Borrowing will bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO RateTerm SOFR for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin. (3) Following the occurrence and during the continuation of a Specified Event of Default, the Borrower will pay interest on overdue amounts hereunder at a rate per annum equal to (a) in the case of overdue principal of, or interest on, any Term Loan, 2.0% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Term Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 2.10 or (b) in the case of any other overdue amount, 2.0% plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in clause (1) of this Section 2.10. (4) Accrued interest on each Term Loan will be payable in arrears (a) on each Interest Payment Date for such Term Loan and (b) on the applicable Maturity Date; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (3) of this Section 2.10 will be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Term Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid will be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any EurocurrencyTerm Benchmark Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Term Loan will be payable on the effective date of such conversion. (5) All interest hereunder will be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the ABR at times when the ABR is based on the prime rate, will be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and, in each case, will be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable ABR, Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO RateTerm SOFR or Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR will be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination will be conclusive absent manifest error. SECTION 2.11. Alternate Rate of Interest. (1) If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency BorrowingSubject to clauses (2), (3), (4), (5) and (6) of this Section 2.11, if: (a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination willshall be conclusive absent manifest error) (A) prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Term Benchmark Borrowing, that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicableTerm SOFR (including because the LIBO ScreenTerm SOFR Reference Rate is not available or published on a current basis), for such Interest Period or (B) at any time, that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining Daily Simple SOFR; or 100 US-DOCS\97700238.15141444430.9 (b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable,(A) prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Term Benchmark Borrowing, Term SOFR for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Term Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period or (B) at any time, Daily Simple SOFR will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing; then the Administrative Agent willshall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone, facsimile transmission or e-telecopy or electronic mail as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (a) any Interest Election Request with respect to the relevant Benchmark, (x) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, or continuation of a Term Benchmark Borrowing or, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for Borrowing of or conversion to, and any interest election request that requests the conversion of any applicable Borrowing to, or continuation of any such Borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing will be ineffective and such Borrowing will be converted to or continued asTerm Benchmark Borrowing and any Borrowing Request that requests a Term Benchmark Borrowing, shall in each case, instead be deemed to be a conversion, an interest election request or a Borrowing Request, as applicable, for (x) an RFR Borrowing so long as Daily Simple SOFR is not also the subject of Section 2.11(1)(a) or (b) above or (y) an ABR Borrowing if Daily Simple SOFR also is the subject of Section 2.11(1)(a) or (b) above; provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one Type of Borrowings, then all other Types of Borrowings shall be permitted. Furthermore, if any Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan is outstanding on the date of the Borrower’s receipt of the notice from the Administrative Agent referred to in this Section 2.11(1) with respect to a Relevant Rate applicable to such Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan, then until (x) the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist with respect to the relevant Benchmark and (y) the Borrower delivers a new interest election request in accordance with the terms of Section 2.04 or a new Borrowing Request in accordance with the terms of Section 2.02, (1) any Term Benchmark Loan shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto an ABR Borrowing and (b) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing, such Borrowing will be made as an ABR Borrowing.to such Loan be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, (x) an RFR Borrowing so long as Daily Simple SOFR is not also the subject of Section 2.11(1)(a) or (b) above or (y) an ABR Loan if Daily Simple SOFR also is the subject of Section 2.11(1)(a) or (b) above, on such day, and (2) any RFR Loan shall on and from such day be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute an ABR Loan. 101 US-DOCS\97700238.15141444430.9 (2) If at any time the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) the circumstances set forth in clause (1)(a) have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii) the circumstances set forth in clause (1)(a) have not arisen but the supervisor for the administrator of the LIBO Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBO Screen Rate shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to the LIBO Rate that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the United States at such time, and shall enter into an amendment (or amendment and restatement) to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable (but for the avoidance of doubt, such related changes shall not include a reduction of the Applicable Rate); provided that, if such alternate rate of interest as so determined would be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 10.08, such amendment (or amendment and restatement) shall become effectiveNotwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent shallhas not have received, within five Business Days of the date notice of such alternate rate of interest is provided to the Lenders, aby such time, written notice fromof objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders of anyeach Class stating that such Required Lenders object to such amendment (or amendment and restatement); provided that any such objection will only be effective with respect to the applicable Class of Term Loans. Until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with this clause (2) (but, in the case of the circumstances described in clause (ii) of the first sentence of this Section 2.11(2), only to the extent the LIBO Screen Rate for such Interest Period is not available or published at such time on a current basis), (x) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any 102 US-DOCS\97700238.15141444430.9
applicable Borrowing to, or continuation of any such Borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing will be ineffective and (y) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing; provided that, if such alternate rate of interest shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement.. (3) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. (4) The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (a) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, (1) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (2) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (3) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (6) below and (4) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.11, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.11. (5) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (a) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR) and either (a) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (b) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (5) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (a) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (b) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition 103 US-DOCS\97700238.15141444430.9 of “Interest Period” for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor. (6) Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request for a Term Benchmark Borrowing or RFR Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term Benchmark Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any request for a Term Benchmark Borrowing into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to (A) an RFR Borrowing so long as Daily Simple SOFR is not the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event or (B) an ABR Borrowing if Daily Simple SOFR is the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of ABR based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of ABR. Furthermore, if any Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan is outstanding on the date of the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to a Relevant Rate applicable to such Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan, then until such time as a Benchmark Replacement is implemented pursuant to this Section 2.11, (1) any Term Benchmark Loan shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan, be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, (x) an RFR Borrowing so long as Daily Simple SOFR is not the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event or (y) an ABR Loan if Daily Simple SOFR is the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event, on such day and (2) any RFR Loan (to the extent subject of a Benchmark Transition Event) shall on and from such day be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute an ABR Loan. SECTION 2.12. Increased Costs. (1) If any Change in Law: (a) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate); (b) imposes on any Lender or the Londonany applicable interbank market any other condition (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or EurocurrencyTerm Benchmark Loans made by such Lender; or (c) subjects any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (i) Indemnified Taxes and (ii) Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments or other obligations, or deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; 104 US-DOCS\97700238.15141444430.9 and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any EurocurrencyTerm Benchmark Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Term Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. (2) If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Term Loans made by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. (3) A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (1) or (2) of this Section 2.12 will be delivered to the Borrower and will be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower will pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten days after receipt thereof. (4) Promptly after any Lender has determined that it will make a request for increased compensation pursuant to this Section 2.12, such Lender will notify the Borrower thereof. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.12 will not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower will not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.12 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180 day period referred to above will be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. SECTION 2.13. Break Funding Payments. Except as otherwise set forth herein, the Borrower will compensate each Lender for the actual loss, cost and expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits) attributable to the following events: (1) the payment of any principal of any EurocurrencyTerm Benchmark Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default); (2) the conversion of any EurocurrencyTerm Benchmark Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto; 105 US-DOCS\97700238.15141444430.9 (3) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any EurocurrencyTerm Benchmark Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto; or (4) the assignment of any EurocurrencyTerm Benchmark Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.16. 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 2.13 will be delivered to the Borrower and will be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower will pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten days after receipt thereof. SECTION 2.14. Taxes. (1) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder will be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes; provided that if a Loan Party is required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes from such payments, then (a) the sum payable will be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.14) the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as applicable, receives an amount equal to the amount it would have received had no such deductions been made, (b) such Loan Party will make such deductions and (c) such Loan Party will timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. (2) In addition, the Loan Parties will pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. (3) Each Loan Party will, jointly and severally, indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within ten days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender (other than as a result of the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct), on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of such Loan Party hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.14) and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to such Loan Party by a Lender, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, will be conclusive absent manifest error. (4) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes by a Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, such Loan Party will deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 106 US-DOCS\97700238.15141444430.9
(5) (a) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document will deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, will deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 2.14(5)(b), 2.14(5)(c) and 2.14(6) below) will not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. (b) Without limiting the effect of Section 2.14(5)(a) above, each Foreign Lender will deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), two original copies of whichever of the following is applicable: (i) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States of America is a party, (A) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (B) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty; (ii) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto); (iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, (A) a certificate substantially in the form of the applicable Exhibit F-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of 107 US-DOCS\97700238.15141444430.9 Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3) or 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (B) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto); (iv) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, accompanied by Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 or Exhibit F-3, Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; or (v) any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. In addition, in each of the foregoing circumstances, each Foreign Lender will deliver such forms, if legally entitled to deliver such forms, promptly upon the obsolescence, expiration or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Foreign Lender. Each Foreign Lender will promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Borrower (or any other form of certification adopted by the United States of America or other taxing authorities for such purpose). In addition, each Lender that is not a Foreign Lender will deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto) on or before the date such Lender becomes a party and upon the expiration of any form previously delivered by such Lender. Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Lender will not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph (5) that such Lender is not legally able to deliver. (c) JPM, in its capacity as the Administrative Agent (and any Person succeeding the Administrative Agent upon assignment or succession under Section 9.09, if applicable) will also deliver to the Borrower, on or prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, (i) two duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service form W-9 with respect to any amounts payable to JPM for its own account (or other withholding certification as appropriate) and (ii) if applicable, two duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY certifying 108 US-DOCS\97700238.15141444430.9 that it is a “U.S. branch” and that the payments it receives for the account of others are not effectively connected with the conduct of its trade or business in the United States and that it is using such form as evidence of its agreement with the Borrower to be treated as a United States person with respect to such payments, with the effect that the Borrower can make payments to JPM (acting as the Administrative Agent) without deduction or withholding of any taxes imposed by the United States. (6) If a payment made to a Recipient under any Loan Document would be subject to a Tax imposed by FATCA if such Recipient were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Recipient will deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Recipient has complied with such Recipient’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (6), “FATCA” will include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it will update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. (7) If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund (including a credit in lieu of a refund) of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Loan Party or with respect to which such Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.14, it will pay over reasonably promptly such refund to such Loan Party (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Loan Party under this Section 2.14 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender (including any Taxes imposed with respect to such refund) as is determined by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in good faith, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that such Loan Party, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay as soon as reasonably practicable the amount paid over to such Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section 2.14(7) will not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other 109 US-DOCS\97700238.15141444430.9 information relating to its Taxes which it deems, in good faith, to be confidential) to the Loan Parties or any other Person. (8) Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.14 will survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document. (9) For purposes of this Section 2.14, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA. SECTION 2.15. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs. (1) Unless otherwise specified, the Borrower will make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or otherwise) prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time, at the Payment Office, except that (unless the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Persons otherwise agree) payments pursuant to Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14 and 10.05 will be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto, on the date when due. All payments shall be in immediately available funds, without condition or deduction for any defense, recoupment, set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. The Administrative Agent will distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof and will make settlements with the Lenders with respect to other payments at the times and in the manner provided in this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided herein, if any payment hereunder is due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment will be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon will be payable for the period of such extension. Any payment required to be made by the Administrative Agent hereunder will be deemed to have been made by the time required if the Administrative Agent, at or before such time, has taken the necessary steps to make such payment in accordance with the regulations or operating procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by the Administrative Agent to make such payment. (2) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, if (a) at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent from the Borrower to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due from the Borrower hereunder or (b) at any time an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Administrative Agent will receive proceeds of Term Priority Collateral in connection with the exercise of remedies, such funds will be applied in accordance with Section 5.02 of the Collateral Agreement (subject to the application of proceeds provisions contained in the Intercreditor Agreement (as applicable)). (3) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, if any Lender, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtains payment in respect of any principal of or 110 US-DOCS\97700238.15141444430.9
interest on any of its Class of Term Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Class of Term Loans than the proportion received by any other Lender in such Class, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion will purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Term Loans of such Class of other Lenders in such Class to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments will be shared by the Lenders in such Class ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Term Loans of such Class; provided that (a) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations will be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (b) the provisions of this paragraph (3) will not be construed to apply to any payment made by the 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 Term Loans to any assignee or participant. The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. (4) Unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. (5) If any Lender fails to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.03(1) or 2.15(3), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under Section 2.03(1) or 2.15(3), as applicable, until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid. SECTION 2.16. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (1) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.14, then such Lender will use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Term Loans hereunder or assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates 111 US-DOCS\97700238.15141444430.9 if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (a) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.12 or 2.14, as applicable, in the future and (b) would not subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in any material respect. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. (2) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12 or is a Defaulting Lender, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.14, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, either (a) prepay such Lender’s outstanding Term Loans hereunder in full on a non-pro rata basis without premium or penalty (including with respect to the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 10.04(2)(b)(ii)Section 10.04(2)(b)(ii)) or (b) require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that will assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) in the case of clause (b) above, the Borrower has received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent will not unreasonably be withheld, if a consent by the Administrative Agent would be required under Section 10.04 for an assignment of Term Loans to such assignee, (ii) such Lender has received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Term Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.12 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.14, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. No action by or consent of the Defaulting Lender will be necessary in connection with such removal or assignment. In connection with any such assignment, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Defaulting Lender and the replacement Lender will otherwise comply with Section 10.04; provided that if such Defaulting Lender does not comply with Section 10.04 within three Business Days after the Administrative Agent’s or the Borrower’s request, compliance with Section 10.04 will not be required to effect such assignment. Nothing in this Section 2.16 will be deemed to prejudice any rights that the Borrower may have against any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender. (3) If any Lender (such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”) has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination that, pursuant to the terms of Section 10.08, requires the consent of such Lender and with respect to which the Required Lenders have granted their consent, then the Borrower will have the right (unless such Non-Consenting Lender grants such consent) at its sole expense, to either (a) prepay such Lender’s outstanding Term Loans hereunder in full on a non-pro rata basis without premium or penalty (including with respect to the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 10.04(2)(b)(ii)) or (b) replace such Non-Consenting Lender by deeming such Non-Consenting Lender to have assigned its Term Loans and its Commitments hereunder to one or more assignees reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent if a consent by the Administrative Agent would be required under 112 US-DOCS\97700238.15141444430.9 Section 10.04 for an assignment of Term Loans to such Assignee; provided that (i) all Obligations of the Borrower owing to such Non-Consenting Lender (including accrued Fees and any amounts due under Section 2.12, 2.13 or 2.14) being removed or replaced will be paid in full to such Non-Consenting Lender concurrently with such removal or assignment and (ii) in the case of clause (b) above, such Non-Consenting Lender will have received payment of an amount equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon. No action by or consent of the Non-Consenting Lender will be necessary in connection with such removal or assignment, in the case of clause (b) above, which shall be immediately and automatically effective upon payment of such purchase price. In connection with any such assignment, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, such Non-Consenting Lender and the replacement Lender will otherwise comply with Section 10.04; provided that if such Non-Consenting Lender does not comply with Section 10.04 within three Business Days after the Administrative Agent’s or the Borrower’s request, compliance with Section 10.04 will not be required to effect such assignment. SECTION 2.17. Illegality[Reserved]. If any Lender reasonably determines that any change in law has made it unlawful, or if any Governmental Authority has asserted after the Closing Date that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make or maintain any Eurocurrency Loans, then, upon notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligations of such Lender to make or continue Eurocurrency Loans or to convert ABR Borrowings to Eurocurrency Borrowings will be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower will upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), either convert all Eurocurrency Borrowings of such Lender to ABR Borrowings, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Borrowings to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Term Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower will also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. . SECTION 2.18. Incremental Facilities. (1) Notice. At any time and from time to time, on one or more occasions, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may, by notice to the Administrative Agent, increase the aggregate principal amount of any outstanding tranche of Term Loans or add one or more additional tranches of term loans under the Loan Documents (the “Incremental Term Loans;” each such increase or tranche, an “Incremental Facility”). (2) Ranking. Incremental Facilities will rank either pari passu or junior in right of payment with the Initial Term Loans and will be either unsecured or secured by Liens that secure the Initial Term Loans on a pari passu or junior basis, in each case as set forth in the applicable Incremental Facility Amendment. 113 US-DOCS\97700238.15141444430.9 (3) Size. The aggregate principal amount of Incremental Facilities incurred pursuant to this Section 2.18 together with the aggregate principal amount of Incremental Equivalent Term Debt incurred pursuant to Section 6.01(1) will not exceed, in the aggregate, an amount equal to (a) the Incremental Fixed Amount plus (b) the Incremental Ratio Amount (the sum of the Incremental Fixed Amount and the Incremental Ratio Amount, the “Incremental Amount”). Calculation of the Incremental Amount shall be made on a Pro Forma Basis and evidenced by a certificate from a Responsible Officer of the Borrower demonstrating such calculation in reasonable detail. Each Incremental Facility Amendment executed in connection with an Incremental Facility will identify whether all or any portion of such Incremental Facility is being incurred pursuant to the Incremental Fixed Amount, the Incremental Ratio Amount or a combination thereof. If the Borrower incurs Indebtedness under an Incremental Facility (or Incremental Equivalent Term Debt) using the Incremental Fixed Amount on the same date that it incurs any such Indebtedness using the Incremental Ratio Amount, the Incremental Ratio Amount will be calculated without regard to any incurrence of indebtedness under the Incremental Fixed Amount. Unless the Borrower elects otherwise, each incurrence of Incremental Facility (or Incremental Equivalent Term Debt) will be deemed incurred first as Incremental Ratio Amount to the extent permitted, with any balance incurred under the Incremental Fixed Amount. The Borrower may classify, and may later reclassify, indebtedness incurred under an Incremental Facility (or any Incremental Equivalent Term Debt) as incurred as, and in reliance on, the Incremental Fixed Amount, Incremental Ratio Amount, or both, on the date of incurrence and thereafter, to the extent permitted on the date of classification (or the date of any such reclassification). Each Incremental Facility will be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $10,000,000 (or such lesser minimum amount approved by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion); provided that such amount may be less than such minimum amount or integral multiple amount without the Administrative Agent’s consent if such amount represents all the remaining availability under the Incremental Amount at such time. (4) Incremental Lenders. Incremental Term Loans may be provided by any existing Lender (it being understood that no existing Lender will have an obligation to provide Incremental Term Loans) or any Additional Lender. While existing Lenders may (but are not obligated unless invited and so elect) participate in any syndication of an Incremental Facility and may (but are not obligated unless invited and so elect) become lenders with respect thereto, the existing Lenders will not have any right to participate in any syndication of, and will not have any right of first refusal or other right to provide all or any portion of, any Incremental Facility or Incremental Term Loan except to the extent the Borrower and the arrangers thereof, if any, in their discretion, choose to invite or include any such existing Lender (which may or may not apply to all existing Lenders and may or may not be pro rata among existing Lenders). Final allocations in respect of any Incremental Facilities will be made by the Borrower together with the arrangers thereof, if any, in their discretion, in accordance with this Section 2.18. (5) Incremental Facility Amendments; Use of Proceeds. Each Incremental Facility will become effective pursuant to an amendment (which may, at the option of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, be in the form of an amendment and 114 US-DOCS\97700238.15141444430.9
restatement) (each, an “Incremental Facility Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and, with respect to any amendment (or amendment and restatement) of this Agreement, each Lender or Additional Lender providing such Incremental Facility (the “Incremental Lenders”). The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Incremental Facility Amendment. Incremental Facility Amendments may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.18 and to make an Incremental Term Loan fungible (including for tax purposes) with other Term Loans (subject to the limitations under paragraphs (7) and (8) of this Section 2.18). Without limiting the foregoing, an Incremental Facility Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, (a) extend or add “call protection” to any existing tranche of Term Loans, including in the form of amendments to Section 2.21, and (b) amend the schedule of amortization payments relating to any existing tranche of Term Loans, including in the form of amendments to Section 2.06 (provided, that any such amendment shall not decrease any amortization payment to any Lender that would have otherwise been payable to such Lender prior to the effectiveness of the applicable Incremental Facility Amendment), in the case of each clause (a) and (b), so that such Incremental Term Loans and the applicable existing Term Loans form the same Class of Term Loans; provided, that such amendments are not materially adverse to the existing Lenders (as determined in good faith by the Borrower). Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Facility Amendment, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as applicable, will be deemed amended (or amended and restated) to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Incremental Facility and the Incremental Term Loans evidenced thereby. This Section 2.18 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.15 or 10.08 to the contrary. The Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries may use the proceeds of the Incremental Term Loans for any purpose not prohibited by this Agreement. (6) Conditions. The availability of Incremental Term Loans will be subject solely to the following conditions, subject, for the avoidance of doubt, to Section 1.09, measured on the date of the initial borrowing under (or, as applicable pursuant to Section 1.09, receipt of commitments with respect to) any such Incremental Facility: (a) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date such Incremental Term Loans are incurred or would exist immediately after giving effect thereto; provided that the condition set forth in this clause (a) may be waived or not required (other than with respect to any Specified Event of Default) by the Persons providing such Incremental Facilities if the proceeds of the initial Borrowings under such Incremental Facilities will be used to finance, in whole or in part, a Permitted Acquisition or other Investment permitted hereunder; (b) the representations and warranties in the Loan Documents will be true and correct in all material respects (except for representations and warranties that are already qualified by materiality, which representations and warranties will be 115 US-DOCS\97700238.15141444430.9 accurate in all respects) immediately prior to, and immediately after giving effect to, the incurrence of such Incremental Term Loans; provided that the condition set forth in this clause (b) may be waived or not required (other than with respect to the Specified Representations) if the proceeds of the initial Borrowings under such Incremental Facilities will be used to finance, in whole or in part, a Permitted Acquisition or other Investment permitted hereunder; and (c) such other conditions (if any) as may be required by the Incremental Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans, unless such other conditions are waived by such Incremental Lenders; (7) Terms. Each Incremental Facility Amendment will set forth the amount and terms of the relevant Incremental Facility. The terms of each Incremental Facility will be as agreed between the Borrower and the Incremental Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans; provided that: (a) the final maturity date of such Incremental Term Loans will be no earlier than the Latest Maturity Date of the Initial Term Loans; (b) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Incremental Term Loans will be no shorter than the longest remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Initial Term Loans; (c) such Incremental Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or a less than pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis) in any mandatory repayments or prepayments of the Initial Term Loans (other than any repayment of such Incremental Term Loans at maturity or with the proceeds of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness); (d) no Incremental Facility will be secured by any assets or property that does not constitute Collateral; (e) no Incremental Facility will be guaranteed by any Person other than a Guarantor; and (f) (i) any Incremental Facility will be on terms and conditions that are, taken as a whole, not materially more favorable to the lenders or holders providing such Indebtedness than, those applicable to the Initial Term Loans, as determined in good faith by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower (except for covenants applicable only to periods after the Latest Maturity Date of the Initial Term Loans at the time of incurrence) and (ii) solely to the extent that any terms and conditions applicable to any Incremental Term Loans are not consistent with those then applicable to the Initial Term Loans, such Incremental Term Loans shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. (8) Pricing. The interest rate, fees and original issue discount for any Incremental Term Loans will be as determined by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower and the 116 US-DOCS\97700238.15141444430.9 Incremental Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans; provided that in the event that the All-In Yield applicable to any Incremental Term Loans that are secured on a pari passu basis with the Initial Term Loans exceeds the All-In Yield of the Initial Term Loans by more than 50 basis points, then the All-In Yield for the Initial Term Loans shall be increased to the extent necessary so that the All-In Yield of such Term Loans is equal to the All-In Yield of such Incremental Term Loans minus 50 basis points; provided, further, that any increase in the All-In Yield of the Term Loans due to an increase in an Adjusted LIBO Rate, LIBO Rate, LIBO ScreenTerm SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate or ABR, as applicable, “floor” on any Incremental Term Loan shall be effected solely through an increase in such “floor” (or an implementation thereof, as applicable) applicable to the Initial Term Loans. SECTION 2.19. Refinancing Term Loans. (1) Refinancing Term Loans. At any time after the Closing Date, the Borrower may obtain, from any Lender or any Additional Lender, Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of all or any portion of the Term Loans, in the form of Refinancing Term Loans pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment. (2) Refinancing Amendments. The effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment will be subject only to the satisfaction on the date thereof of such of the conditions as may be requested by the providers of the Refinancing Term Loans. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Refinancing Amendment. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, this Agreement will be deemed amended (or amended and restated, as applicable) to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Refinancing Term Loans incurred pursuant thereto (including any amendments necessary to treat the Term Loans subject thereto as Refinancing Term Loans). (3) Required Consents. Any Refinancing Amendment may, without the consent of any Person other than the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders or Additional Lenders providing Refinancing Term Loans, effect such amendments (or amendment and restatements) to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.19. This Section 2.19 supersedes any provisions in Section 2.15 or 10.08 to the contrary. The transactions contemplated by this Section 2.19 will not require the consent of any other Lender or any other Person, and the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including Sections 2.08 and 2.15) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any transaction contemplated by this Section 2.19 will not apply to any of the transactions effected pursuant to this Section 2.19. (4) Providers of Refinancing Term Loans. Refinancing Term Loans may be provided by any existing Lender (it being understood that no existing Lender shall have an obligation to make all or any portion of any Refinancing Term Loan) or by any Additional Lender. Any Lender approached to provide all or a portion of Refinancing Term Loans may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such Refinancing Term Loans (it being 117 US-DOCS\97700238.15141444430.9 understood that there is no obligation to approach any existing Lenders to provide Refinancing Term Loans). SECTION 2.20. Extensions of Term Loans. (1) Extension Offers. Pursuant to one or more offers (each, an “Extension Offer”) made from time to time by the Borrower to all Lenders of Term Loans of a particular Class with a like Maturity Date (and with respect to any Extension Offer each Lender may, in its sole discretion, choose whether to accept or reject such Extension Offer), the Borrower may extend such Maturity Date and otherwise modify the terms of such Term Loans pursuant to the terms set forth in an Extension Offer (each, an “Extension,” and each group of such Term Loans so extended, as well as any such Term Loans of the same Class not so extended, being a “tranche”). Each Extension Offer will specify the minimum amount of Term Loans with respect to which an Extension Offer may be accepted, which will be an integral multiple of $1.0 million and an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $10.0 million (or (a) if less, the aggregate principal amount of such Term Loans outstanding or (b) such lesser minimum amount as is approved by the Administrative Agent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and will be made on a pro rata basis to all Lenders of Term Loans of a particular Class with a like Maturity Date. If the aggregate outstanding principal amount of such Term Loans (calculated on the face amount thereof) in respect of which Lenders have accepted an Extension Offer exceeds the maximum aggregate principal amount of Term Loans offered to be extended pursuant to an Extension Offer, then the Term Loans of such Lenders will be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts (but not to exceed actual holdings of record) with respect to which such Lenders have accepted such Extension Offer. There is no requirement that any Extension Offer or Extension Amendment (defined as follows) be subject to any “most favored nation” pricing provisions. The terms of an Extension Offer will be determined by the Borrower and an Extension Offer may contain one or more conditions to its effectiveness, including that a minimum amount of Term Loans or any or all applicable tranches be tendered. (2) Extension Amendments. The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (which may, at the option of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, be in the form of an amendment and restatement of this Agreement or such Loan Document, as applicable) (an “Extension Amendment”) as may be necessary in order to establish new tranches in respect of Extended Term Loans and such amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in connection with the establishment of such new tranches. This Section 2.20 supersedes any provisions of Section 2.15 or 10.08 to the contrary. Except as otherwise set forth in an Extension Offer, there will be no conditions to the effectiveness of an Extension Amendment. Extensions will not constitute a voluntary or mandatory payment or prepayment for purposes of this Agreement. 118 US-DOCS\97700238.15141444430.9
(3) Terms of Extension Offers and Extension Amendments. The terms of any Extended Term Loans will be set forth in an Extension Offer and as agreed between the Borrower and the Extending Term Lenders accepting such Extension Offer; provided that: (a) the final maturity date of such Extended Term Loans will be no earlier than the Latest Maturity Date applicable to the Term Loans subject to such Extension Offer; (b) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any such Extended Term Loans will be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term Loans subject to such Extension Offer; (c) any Extended Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or a less than pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis) in mandatory repayments or prepayments of Term Loans; (d) such Extended Term Loans are not secured by any assets or property that does not constitute Collateral; (e) such Extended Term Loans are not guaranteed by any Person other than a Subsidiary Loan Party; and (f) the other terms and conditions applicable to the Extended Term Loans are (i) substantially identical to, or, taken as a whole, no more favorable to the lenders or holders providing such Extended Term Loans than, those applicable to the Term Loans subject to such Extension Offer (except for covenants applicable only to periods after the Latest Maturity Date of the Initial Term Loans at the time of incurrence) (provided that a certificate of a Responsible Officer delivered to the Administrative Agent at least four (4) Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior to the incurrence of such Extended Term Loans together with a reasonably detailed description of the material covenants and event of default of such Indebtedness or drafts of the documentation relating thereto, stating that the Borrower has determined in good faith that such terms and conditions satisfy the requirement of this clause (f) shall be conclusive evidence that such Indebtedness satisfies this clause (f) unless the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower within such four (4) Business Day (or shorter) period that it disagrees with such determination (including a description of the basis upon which it disagrees)); provided that this clause (f) will not apply to (vw) terms addressed in the preceding clauses (a) through (e), (x) interest rate, rate floors, fees, funding discounts and other pricing terms, (y) redemption, prepayment or other premiums, or (z) optional prepayment or redemption terms. Any Extended Term Loans will constitute a separate tranche of Term Loans from the Term Loans held by Lenders that did not accept the applicable Extension Offer. (4) Required Consents. No consent of any Lender or any other Person will be required to effectuate any Extension, other than the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), the Borrower and the 119 US-DOCS\97700238.15141444430.9 applicable Extending Term Lender(s). The transactions contemplated by this Section 2.20 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Term Loans on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Offer) will not require the consent of any other Lender or any other Person, and the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including Sections 2.08 and 2.15) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.20 will not apply to any of the transactions effected pursuant to this Section 2.20. SECTION 2.21. Repricing Transaction. In the event that a Repricing Transaction is consummated during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending prior to the date that is one year after the Closing Date, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each Lender with Initial Term Loans that are either repaid, converted or subjected to a pricing reduction in connection with such Repricing Transaction a fee in an amount equal to 1.00% of (a) in the case of a Repricing Transaction described in clause (1) of the definition thereof, the aggregate principal amount of all Initial Term Loans prepaid (or converted) in connection with such Repricing Transaction and (b) in the case of a Repricing Transaction described in clause (2) of the definition thereof, the aggregate principal amount of all Initial Term Loans outstanding on such date that are subject to an effective pricing reduction or a mandatory assignment pursuant to such Repricing Transaction. Such fees shall be earned, due and payable upon the date of the consummation of such Repricing Transaction. ARTICLE III Representations and Warranties To induce the Lenders to make any extension of credit hereunder on or after the Closing Date, the Borrower, with respect to itself and each of the Restricted Subsidiaries, represents and warrants (i) on the Closing Date solely to the extent set forth in Section 4.01(12) and (ii) on each date and to the extent otherwise required hereunder (and subject, for the avoidance of doubt, to Section 1.09), each of the following to each Agent and to each of the Lenders. SECTION 3.01. Organization; Powers. The Borrower and each Loan Party: (1) is a Person duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization (to the extent such status or an analogous concept applies to such an organization or in such jurisdiction); (2) has all requisite corporate or other organizational power and authority to own its property and assets and to carry on its business as now conducted; (3) is qualified to do business in each jurisdiction where such qualification is required, except where the failure to so qualify would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and 120 US-DOCS\97700238.15141444430.9 (4) has the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and each other agreement or instrument contemplated thereby to which it is a party. SECTION 3.02. Authorization; No Contravention. (1) The execution, delivery and performance by the Loan Parties of each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other organizational action. (2) The execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party of each Loan Document to which such Loan Party is a party and the consummation of the Transactions will not: (a) result in a breach or contravention of, or the creation of any Lien (other than any Liens created by the Loan Documents and Permitted Lien) upon the property or assets of such Loan Party or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries under (i) any Contractual Obligation to which such Loan Party is a party or affecting such Loan Party or the properties or assets of such Loan Party or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or (ii) any order, injunction, writ or decree of any Governmental Authority or any arbitral award to which such Loan Party or its property or assets is subject; (b) violate applicable Law; or (c) contravene the terms of its Organizational Documents; except with respect to clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 3.02(2) as would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. SECTION 3.03. Enforceability. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower and constitutes, and each other Loan Document when executed and delivered by each Loan Party that is party thereto will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party enforceable against each such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, subject to: (1) the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws (including Debtor Relief Laws) affecting creditors’ rights generally; (2) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law); (3) implied covenants of good faith and fair dealing; and (4) any foreign laws, rules and regulations as they relate to pledges of Equity Interests in Non-U.S. Subsidiaries. SECTION 3.04. Governmental Approvals. No material action, consent or approval of, registration or filing with or any other action by any Governmental Authority is or 121 US-DOCS\97700238.15141444430.9 will be required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by, or enforcement against, any Loan Party of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except for: (1) filings necessary to perfect the Liens on the Collateral granted by the Loan Parties in favor of the Secured Parties; (2) filings which may be required under Environmental Laws; (3) filings as may be required under the Exchange Act and applicable stock exchange rules in connection therewith; (4) such as have been made or obtained and are in full force and effect (except to the extent not required to be obtained, taken, given or made or in full force and effect pursuant to the Security Documents); (5) such actions, consents, approvals, registrations or filings the failure of which to be obtained or made would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. SECTION 3.05. Title to Properties; Liens. Each of the Borrower and the Subsidiary Loan Parties has valid fee simple title to, or valid leasehold interests in, or easements or other limited property interests in, all of its Real Properties and valid title to its personal property and assets, in each case, except for Permitted Liens or defects in title that do not materially interfere with its ability to conduct its business as currently conducted or to utilize such properties and assets for their intended purposes, in each case, except where the failure to have such title, interest or easement would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. All such properties and assets are free and clear of Liens, other than Permitted Liens. SECTION 3.06. Subsidiaries. Schedule 3.06 sets forth as of the Closing Date and after giving effect to the Transactions, the name and jurisdiction of incorporation, formation or organization of the Borrower and each Restricted Subsidiary and, as to each Restricted Subsidiary, the percentage of each class of Equity Interests owned by the Borrower or by any other Subsidiary of the Borrower. SECTION 3.07. Litigation; Compliance with Laws. (1) There are no actions, suits or proceedings, or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, investigations at law or in equity or by or on behalf of any Governmental Authority or in arbitration now pending, or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened in writing against or affecting the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary or any business, property or rights (including any studies, tests or preclinical or clinical trials) of any such Person (excluding any actions, suits or proceedings arising under or relating to any Environmental Laws, which are subject to Section 3.13, but including in respect of any Health Care Law), in each case, which would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. (2) To the knowledge of the Borrower, none of the Borrower, any Restricted Subsidiary or their respective properties or assets is in violation of (nor will the continued operation of 122 US-DOCS\97700238.15141444430.9
their material properties and assets as currently conducted violate) any law, rule or regulation (including any zoning, building, ordinance, code or approval, or any building permit, but excluding any Environmental Laws, which are subject to Section 3.13) or any restriction of record or agreement affecting any property, or is in default with respect to any judgment, writ, injunction or decree of any Governmental Authority, where such violation or default would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. SECTION 3.08. Federal Reserve Regulations. (1) None of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying Margin Stock. (2) No part of the proceeds of any Term Loan will be used, whether directly or indirectly, and whether immediately, incidentally or ultimately, (i) to purchase or carry Margin Stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying Margin Stock or to refund Indebtedness originally incurred for such purpose or (ii) for any purpose that entails a violation of, or that is inconsistent with, the provisions of the Regulations of the Board, including Regulation U or Regulation X. SECTION 3.09. Investment Company Act. None of the Borrower or any Subsidiary Loan Party is an “investment company” as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. SECTION 3.10.

SECTION 5.06. Compliance with Laws.

For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 6.01, in the event that an item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt or is entitled to be incurred (in whole or in part) as Ratio Debt, the Borrower may, in its sole discretion, at the time of incurrence, divide, classify or reclassify, or at any later time divide, classify or reclassify, such item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) in any manner that complies with this covenant at the time of incurrence or at such later time (as applicable); provided that all Indebtedness outstanding under the Loan Documents and the ABL Credit Agreement and any Permitted Refinancing thereof will be deemed to have been incurred in reliance on the exception in clauses (1) and (2), respectively, of the definition of “Permitted Debt” and shall not be permitted to be reclassified pursuant to this paragraph. All unsecured Permitted Debt originally incurred under clause (4), (11)(b), (19), (21) or (28) of the definition of Permitted Debt will be automatically reclassified as Ratio Debt on the first date on which such Indebtedness would have been permitted to be incurred as Ratio Debt. The accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value, amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest or dividends in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms (including any pay-in-kind interest) and increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies, will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this Section 6.01. The principal amount of any non-interest bearing Indebtedness or other discount security constituting Indebtedness at any date will be the principal amount thereof that would be shown on a balance sheet of the Borrower dated such date prepared in accordance with GAAP. Guarantees of, or obligations in respect of letters of credit relating to Indebtedness that is otherwise included in the determination of a particular amount of Indebtedness will not be included in the determination of such amount of Indebtedness; provided that the incurrence of the Indebtedness represented by such Guarantee or letter of credit, as the case may be, was in compliance with this Section 6.01. Any incurrence of Permitted Refinancing Debt with respect to any Refinanced Debt that was incurred in reliance on a dollar or Equivalent Percentage basket (and not subsequently reclassified) shall not, for the avoidance of doubt, reload any such dollar or Equivalent Percentage based basket.

then, (i) upon the occurrence of any such Event of Default (other than an Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in clause (8) or (9) of this Section 8.01), and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such Event of Default, the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, will, by notice to the Borrower, take any or all of the following actions, at the same or different times: (A) declare the Term Loans then outstanding to be forthwith due and payable in whole or in part, whereupon the principal of the Term Loans so declared to be due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon and any unpaid accrued Fees and all other liabilities of the Borrower accrued hereunder and under any other Loan Document, will become forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding;

Appointment. (1) Each Lender (in its capacities as a Lender and on behalf of itself and its Affiliates as potential counterparties to Hedge Agreements) hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the entity named as Administrative Agent in the heading of this Agreement and its permitted successors and assigns to serve as administrative agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as applicable, including as the Collateral Agent for such Lender and the other applicable Secured Parties under the applicable Security Documents, and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, in such capacities, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are delegated to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. In addition, to the extent required under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States, each of the Lenders hereby grants to the Administrative Agent any required powers of attorney to execute and enforce any Security Document governed by the laws of such jurisdiction on such Lender’s behalf. Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, each of the Loan Documents to which the Administrative Agent is a party, to exercise all rights, powers and remedies that the Administrative Agent may have under such Loan Documents. (2) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent; additionally, each Lender agrees that it will not assert any claim against the Administrative Agent based on an alleged breach of fiduciary duty by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement and transactions contemplated hereby. To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender 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 circumstance which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective or for any other reason, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with all expenses (including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred. 178 US-DOCS\97700238.15141444430.9
For the avoidance of doubt, no Borrower shall have liability for the actions of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence. (3) In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, (a) the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, 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 any or all of the 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 and the Agents and any Subagents 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 (b) any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding. SECTION 9.02. Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof)) by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of the agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. The Administrative Agent may also from time to time, when the Administrative Agent deems it to be necessary or desirable, appoint one or more trustees, co-trustees, collateral co-agents, collateral subagents or attorneys-in-fact (each, a “Subagent”) with respect to all or any part of the Collateral; provided that no such Subagent shall be authorized to take any action with respect to any Collateral unless and except to the extent expressly authorized in writing by the Administrative Agent. Should any instrument in writing from the Borrower or any other Loan Party be reasonably required by any Subagent so appointed by the Administrative Agent to more fully or certainly vest in and confirm to such Subagent such rights, powers, privileges and duties, the Borrower shall, or shall cause such Loan Party to, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments promptly upon reasonable written request by the Administrative Agent. If any Subagent, or successor thereto, shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all rights, powers, privileges and duties of such Subagent, to the extent permitted by law, shall automatically vest in and be exercised by the 179 US-DOCS\97700238.15141444430.9 Administrative Agent until the appointment of a new Subagent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent, attorney-in-fact or Subagent that it selects in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.02 in the absence of the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. SECTION 9.03. Exculpatory Provisions. None of the Administrative Agent, its Affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or attorneys-in-fact shall be (1) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (2) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agents under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Loan Party party thereto to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Agents shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (b) the Administrative Agent shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into: (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith; (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default; (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Security Documents; 180 US-DOCS\97700238.15141444430.9 (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral; or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. SECTION 9.04. Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) or conversation believed in good faith by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed in good faith by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to any Borrowing that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to such Borrowing. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all or other Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all or other Lenders), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Term Loans. SECTION 9.05. Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all or other Lenders); provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders. 181 US-DOCS\97700238.15141444430.9 SECTION 9.06. Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any Affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their Affiliates and made its own decision to make its Term Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their Affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any Affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates. SECTION 9.07. Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), in the amount of its pro rata share (based on its aggregate outstanding Term Loans) (determined at the time such indemnity is sought), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Term Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent 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 the Administrative Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The failure of any Lender to reimburse the Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any amount required to be paid by the Lenders to the Administrative Agent as provided herein shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to reimburse the Administrative Agent for its ratable share of such amount, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to reimburse the Administrative Agent for such other Lender’s ratable share of such amount. The agreements in this Section 9.07 shall survive the payment of the Term Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 182 US-DOCS\97700238.15141444430.9
SECTION 9.08. Agent in Its Individual Capacity. Each Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from, and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party as though the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent. With respect to its Term Loans made or renewed by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include each Agent in its individual capacity. SECTION 9.09. Successor Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon thirty days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent resigns as the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless a Specified Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the reference to the resigning Administrative Agent means such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Term Loans. 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 resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, 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. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is 30 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation will nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Required Lenders will thereafter perform all the duties of such Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall (unless a Specified Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 9.09 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. SECTION 9.10. Arrangers. None of the Arrangers will have any duties, responsibilities or liabilities hereunder in their respective capacities as such. SECTION 9.11. Collateral and Guaranty Matters. (1) Each of the Lenders (including in its capacity as a potential Qualified Counterparty) and the other Secured Parties irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to be the agent for and representative of the Lenders with respect to the Collateral Agreement, the Collateral and the Security Documents, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto; provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall owe any fiduciary duty, 183 US-DOCS\97700238.15141444430.9 duty of loyalty, duty of care, duty of disclosure or any other obligation whatsoever to any holder of Obligations with respect to any Specified Hedge Agreement. (2) Each Agent, each Lender and each other Secured Party agrees that: (a) Liens on any property granted to or held by an Agent in favor of any Secured Party under any Loan Document will be automatically released, (i) upon Payment in Full and the termination of the Commitments; (ii) at the time the property subject to such Lien is Disposed (or to be Disposed) as part of, or in connection with, any transfer permitted under the Loan Documents to any Person that is not (and is not required to be) a Loan Party, (iii) if the property subject to such Lien is owned by a Guarantor, upon release of such Guarantor from its obligations under the Collateral Agreement pursuant to clause (c) below; (iv) subject to Section 10.08, if the release of such Lien is approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders; or (v) upon such property becoming an Excluded Asset or Excluded Equity Interest. (b) it will release or subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 6.02(3); (c) if any Subsidiary Loan Party ceases to be a Subsidiary in a transaction permitted hereunder, is not a Material Subsidiary or as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder becomes an Excluded Subsidiary (in each case, as certified in writing by a Responsible Officer), and the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent in writing that it wishes such Guarantor to be released from its obligations under the Collateral Agreement and, upon request of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, provides the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent certifications that such Subsidiary Loan Party is not a Material Subsidiary or has become an Excluded Subsidiary (as applicable), it will release (or evidence the release) of (i) such Subsidiary Loan Party from its obligations under the Collateral Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) any Liens granted by such Subsidiary or Liens on the Equity Interests of such Subsidiary; and (d) the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent will exclusively exercise the rights and remedies under the Loan Documents, and neither the Lenders nor any other Secured Party will exercise such rights and remedies (other than the Required Lenders through the Administrative Agent); provided that the foregoing shall not preclude any Lender from exercising any right of set-off in accordance 184 US-DOCS\97700238.15141444430.9 with the provisions of Section 10.06 or enforcing compliance with the provisions set forth in clauses (i) through (vi) of Section 10.08(2) or from exercising rights and remedies (other than the enforcement of Collateral) with respect to any payment default after the occurrence of the Maturity Date with respect to any Term Loans made by it or filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law. Each Agent agrees that it will take such action and execute any such documents as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower in connection with any of the foregoing releases or any such subordination. Each of the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely exclusively on an officers certificate of the Borrower confirming that such release or subordination (as applicable) is permitted hereunder. Each Lender and each Secured Party irrevocably authorizes each Administrative Agent to take such action and execute any such document and consents to such reliance. No Agent will be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Collateral Agent’s Lien thereon, or contained in any certificate prepared or delivered by the Borrower or any Loan Party in connection with the Collateral or compliance with the terms set forth above or in a Loan Document, nor shall any Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Loan Party from its obligations under, the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, any execution and delivery of documents by any Agent pursuant to this Section 9.11 shall be without recourse to or warranty by such Agent and at the Borrower’s expense; and such documents shall be reasonably acceptable to such Agent and the Borrower. (3) Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, each Agent, each Lender and each Secured Party hereby agree that: (a) no Lender or other Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the Collateral Agreement or any other Loan Document, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder and under any of the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, for the benefit of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, and all powers, rights and remedies under the CollateralSecurity Documents may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Lenders in accordance with the terms thereof; (b) in the event of a foreclosure or similar enforcement action by the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition (including pursuant to Section 363(k), Section 1129(b)(2)(a)(ii) or otherwise of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code), the Collateral Agent (or any Lender, except with 185 US-DOCS\97700238.15141444430.9 respect to a “credit bid” pursuant to Section 363(k), Section 1129(b)(2)(a)(ii) or otherwise of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code) may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition, and the Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of Lenders (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities), shall be entitled, upon instructions from the Required Lenders, 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 sale or disposition, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such sale or other disposition; (c) no provision of any Loan Documents shall require the creation, perfection or maintenance of pledges of or security interests in, or the obtaining of title insurance or abstracts with respect to, any Excluded Assets, any Excluded Equity Interests and any other particular assets, if and for so long as, in the reasonable judgment of the Collateral Agent, the cost of creating, perfecting or maintaining such pledges or security interests in such other particular assets or obtaining title insurance or abstracts in respect of such other particular assets is excessive in view of the fair market value of such assets or the practical benefit to the Lenders afforded thereby as reasonably determined by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or with respect to matters relating primarily to the ABL Priority Collateral, the Borrower and the ABL Agent); (d) the Collateral Agent may grant extensions of time for the creation or perfection of security interests in or the obtaining of title insurance and surveys with respect to particular assets (including extensions beyond the Closing Date for the creation or perfection of security interests in the assets of the Loan Parties on such date) where it reasonably determines, in consultation with the Borrower, that creation or perfection cannot be accomplished without undue effort or expense by the time or times at which it would otherwise be required by this Agreement or the CollateralSecurity Documents; (e) no actions required by the Laws of any non-U.S. jurisdiction shall be required in order to create any security interests in any assets or to perfect such security interests (including any intellectual property registered in any non-U.S. jurisdiction) (it being understood that there shall be no security agreements or pledge agreements governed under the Laws of any non-U.S. jurisdiction); (f) no control agreements shall be required with respect to assets requiring perfection through control agreements or perfection by “control” (as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code); and (g) the provisions of Section 5.10(4) of this Agreement and Sections 4.01(4) and 4.01(6) of the Collateral Agreement shall supersede any other provision of a Loan Document to the contrary. 186 US-DOCS\97700238.15141444430.9

(2) (a) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (2)(b) of this Section 10.04 (and, with respect to an assignment to the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any of their respective Affiliates, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 10.04(10) or 10.04(14), as applicable), any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (other than a natural person, a Disqualified Institution or a Defaulting Lender) (each, an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Term Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) of: (i) the Borrower; provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if a Specified Event of Default with respect to the Borrower has occurred and is continuing; provided, further, that such consent shall be deemed to have been given if the Borrower has not responded within ten (10) Business Days after delivery of a written request therefor by the Administrative Agent; and 191 US-DOCS\97700238.15141444430.9 (ii) the Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of all or any portion of a Term Loan to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; (b) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions: (i) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Term Loans, the amount of the Term Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $500,000, unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent; provided that (1) no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if a Specified Event of Default with respect to the Borrower has occurred and is continuing and (2) such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its Affiliates or Approved Funds (with simultaneous assignments to or by two or more Approved Funds being treated as one assignment for purposes of meeting the minimum assignment amount requirement), if any; (ii) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance (or Non-Debt Fund Affiliate Assignment and Acceptance, as applicable) via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent (or, if previously agreed with the Administrative Agent, manually), and shall pay to the Administrative Agent a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (which fee may be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent); (iii) the Assignee, if it shall not already be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire and any tax forms required to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.14; and (iv) the Assignor shall deliver to the Administrative Agent any Note issued to it with respect to the assigned Term Loan. (c) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (2)(e) of this Section 10.04, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance (or Non-Debt Fund Affiliate Assignment and Acceptance, as applicable), the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, 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 Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party 192 US-DOCS\97700238.15141444430.9 hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14 and 10.05 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (4) of this Section 10.04 to the extent such participation would be permitted by such Section 10.04(4). (d) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as the Administrative Agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the principal amount (and stated interest with respect thereto) of the Term Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may 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 Borrower and any Lender (but solely, in the case of a Lender, entries with respect to such Lender’s Term Loans) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. This clause (d)(d) and Section 2.05 shall be construed so that all Term Loans are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any related Treasury regulations (or any other relevant or successor provisions of the Code or of such Treasury regulations). (e) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance (or Non-Debt Fund Affiliate Assignment and Acceptance, as applicable) executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), all applicable tax forms, any Note outstanding with respect to the assigned Term Loan (or other documentation (including an affidavit of loss and indemnitee agreement) reasonably acceptable to the Borrower in lieu thereof), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (2)(b)(ii) of this Section 10.04 and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (2) of this Section 10.04, the Administrative Agent promptly shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance (or Non-Debt Fund Affiliate Assignment and Acceptance, as applicable) and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment, whether or not evidenced by a promissory note, shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph (2)(e). (3) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder and the Assignee thereunder shall be deemed to confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: 193 US-DOCS\97700238.15141444430.9 (a) such assigning Lender warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim; (b) except as set forth in clause (a) above, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement, or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, or the financial condition of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary or the performance or observance by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary of any of its obligations under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (c) the Assignee represents and warrants that it is legally authorized to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (d) the Assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the most recent Required Financial Statements delivered pursuant to Section 5.04, and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (e) the Assignee will independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (f) the Assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (g) the Assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender. (4) (a) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Administrative Agent or, subject to Section 10.04(8), the Borrower, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (other than any Disqualified Institution) (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Term Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged; 194 US-DOCS\97700238.15141444430.9
(ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations; and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that (A) such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to Section 10.04(1)(a) or clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v) or (vi) of the first proviso to Section 10.08(2) and (2) directly affects such Participant and (B) no other agreement with respect to amendment, modification or waiver may exist between such Lender and such Participant. Subject to clause (4)(b) of this Section 10.04, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.13 and 2.14 (in each case subject to the requirements thereof and the delivery of any documentation required thereunder) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (2) of this Section 10.04. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.06 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant shall be subject to Section 2.15(3) 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 Borrower, 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 Term Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. Each Lender shall indemnify the Loan Parties for any Taxes (including any additions to Tax) attributable to or resulting from such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of this Section 10.04(4)(a) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register. 195 US-DOCS\97700238.15141444430.9 (b) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.12, 2.13 or 2.14 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, 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. A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.14 to the extent such Participant fails to comply with Section 2.14(5) as though it were a Lender. (5) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank; 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. (6) The Borrower, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agrees to issue Notes to any Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in paragraph (5) of this Section 10.04; provided that such Lender will have delivered for exchange any Notes previously issued with respect to the applicable Term Loans (or other documentation (including an affidavit of loss and indemnitee agreement) reasonably acceptable to the Borrower in lieu thereof). (7) If the Borrower wishes to replace the Term Loans with ones having different terms, it shall have the option, with the consent of the Administrative Agent and subject to at least three Business Days’ advance notice to the Lenders, instead of prepaying the Term Loans to be replaced, to (a) require the Lenders to assign such Term Loans to the Administrative Agent or its designee(s) and (b) amend the terms thereof in accordance with Section 10.08 (with such replacement, if applicable, being deemed to have been made pursuant to Section 10.08(5)). Pursuant to any such assignment, all Term Loans to be replaced shall be purchased at par (allocated among the Lenders in the same manner as would be required if such Term Loans were being optionally prepaid), accompanied by payment of any accrued interest and fees thereon and any amounts owing pursuant to Section 10.05(2). By receiving such purchase price, the Lenders shall automatically be deemed to have assigned the Term Loans pursuant to the terms of the form of Assignment and Acceptance attached hereto as Exhibit A (or Non-Debt Fund Affiliate Assignment and Acceptance, as applicable), and accordingly no other action by such Lenders shall be required in connection therewith. The provisions of this paragraph (7) are intended to facilitate the maintenance of the perfection and priority of existing security interests in the Collateral during any such replacement. (8) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no assignment may be made or participation sold to a Disqualified Institution without the prior written consent of the Borrower; provided that, in connection with a participation, the Lenders shall have received a list of the Disqualified Institutions prior to the execution of such participation right. To the extent that any assignment is purported to be made or participation is purported to be sold to a Disqualified Institution (notwithstanding this clause (8) or otherwise), such Disqualified Institution shall be required immediately (and in any event within five (5) Business Days) 196 US-DOCS\97700238.15141444430.9 to assign all Loans and Commitments then owned by such Disqualified Institution to another Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) or another Assignee in accordance with this Section 10.04 or unwind such participation, as applicable (and the Borrower shall be entitled to seek specific performance in any applicable court of law or equity to enforce this sentence). (9) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Non-Debt Fund Affiliate shall have any right to: (a) attend (including by telephone) any meeting or discussions (or portion thereof) among the Administrative Agent or any Lender to which representatives of the Borrower are not then present; (b) receive the advice of counsel to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, nor may any Non-Debt Fund Affiliate challenge the attorney-client privilege between the Administrative Agent and counsel to the Administrative Agent or between the Lenders and counsel to the Lenders; or (c) receive any information or material prepared by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any other Person or any communication by or among Administrative Agent and one or more Lenders, except (i) to the extent such information or materials have been made available to the Borrower or its representatives or (ii) notices of prepayments and other administrative notices in respect of its Term Loans required to be delivered to Lenders pursuant to this Agreement. (10) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender may assign all or any portion of its Term Loans hereunder to any Person who is or, after giving effect to such assignment, would be an Affiliated Lender (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Debt Fund Affiliate); provided that: (a) such assignment shall be made pursuant to (i) an open market purchase (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any purchase made during the initial syndication of the Term Loans) on a non-pro rata basis or (ii) a Dutch auction open to all Lenders of the applicable Class in accordance with the Dutch Auction Procedures; (b) in the case of an assignment to a Non-Debt Fund Affiliate, the assigning Lender and such Non-Debt Fund Affiliate purchasing such Lender’s Term Loans shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an assignment agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit E (a “Non-Debt Fund Affiliate Assignment and Acceptance”) in lieu of an Assignment and Acceptance; (c) each Lender (other than any Affiliated Lender) that (i) sells any Term Loans to an Affiliated Lender (other than a Debt Fund Affiliate) or (Bii) buys any Term Loan from any Affiliated Lender (other than a Debt Fund Affiliate) hereunder shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower a Big Boy Letter; 197 US-DOCS\97700238.15141444430.9 (d) in the case of an assignment to a Non-Debt Fund Affiliate, at the time of such assignment and after giving effect to such assignment, Non-Debt Fund Affiliates shall not, in the aggregate, hold Term Loans with an aggregate principal amount in excess of 25.0% of the principal amount of all Term Loans of any Class then outstanding; (e) no proceeds from revolving loans under the ABL Credit Agreement shall be used to fund any such purchases; and (11) To the extent not previously disclosed to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall, upon reasonable request of the Administrative Agent (but not more frequently than once per calendar quarter), report to the Administrative Agent the amount and Class of Term Loans held by Non-Debt Fund Affiliates and the identity of such holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Affiliated Lender shall be permitted to contribute any Term Loan so assigned to such Affiliated Lender pursuant to this Section 10.04(11) to the Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries for purposes of cancellation, which contribution may be made, subject to Section 6.07, in exchange for Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of any Parent Entity or Indebtedness (including Disqualified Stock) of the Borrower on a dollar-for-dollar basis to the extent such Indebtedness is permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 6.01 at such time; provided that any Term Loans so contributed shall be automatically and permanently canceled upon the effectiveness of such contribution and will thereafter no longer be outstanding for any purpose hereunder. (12) Notwithstanding anything in Section 10.04 or the definition of “Required Lenders” to the contrary, for purposes of determining whether the Required Lenders have: (a) 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; (b) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document; or (c) 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 in each case, that does not require the consent of each Lender or each affected Lender or does not adversely affect any such Non-Debt Fund Affiliate in its capacity as such in any material respect as compared to other Lenders holding similar obligations (collectively, “Required Lender Consent Items”): (i) a Non-Debt Fund Affiliate shall be deemed to have voted its interest as a Lender in the same proportion as the allocation of voting with respect to such matter by Lenders who are not Non-Debt Fund Affiliates; and (ii) Term Loans held by Debt Fund Affiliates may not account for more than 49.9% of the Term Loans of consenting Lenders included in determining 198 US-DOCS\97700238.15141444430.9
whether the Required Lenders have consented to any action pursuant to Section 10.04. (13) Additionally, the Loan Parties and each Non-Debt Fund Affiliate hereby agree that if a case under Title 11 of the United States Code is commenced against any Loan Party, such Loan Party shall seek (and each Non-Debt Fund Affiliate shall consent) to provide that the vote of any Non-Debt Fund Affiliate (in its capacity as a Lender) with respect to any plan of reorganization of such Loan Party shall not be counted except that such Non-Debt Fund Affiliate’s vote (in its capacity as a Lender) may be counted to the extent any such plan of reorganization proposes to treat the Obligations or claims held by such Non-Debt Fund Affiliate in a manner that is less favorable to such Non-Debt Fund Affiliate than the proposed treatment of the Term Loans or claims held by Lenders that are not Affiliates of the Borrower. (14) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, so long as no Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, any Lender may assign all or a portion of its Term Loans to any Purchasing Borrower Party; provided that: (a) such assignment shall be made pursuant to (i) an open market purchase (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any purchase made during the initial syndication of the Term Loans) on a non-pro rata basis or (ii) a Dutch auction open to all Lenders of the applicable Class in accordance with the Dutch Auction Procedures; (b) any Term Loans assigned to any Purchasing Borrower Party shall be automatically and permanently cancelled upon the effectiveness of such assignment and will thereafter no longer be outstanding for any purpose hereunder; and (c) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans of the applicable Class shall be deemed reduced by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans purchased pursuant to this Section 10.04(14) and each principal repayment installment with respect to the Term Loans of such Class shall be reduced pro rata by the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans purchased. SECTION 10.05. Expenses; Indemnity. (1) If the Transactions are consummated and the Closing Date occurs, the Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable, documented and invoiced out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers in connection with the preparation of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or by the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers (and, in the case of enforcement of this Agreement, each Lender) in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery, amendment, modification, waiver or enforcement of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in connection with the administration of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents and any amendments, modifications or 199 US-DOCS\97700238.15141444430.9 waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof, including the reasonable, documented and invoiced fees and out-of-pocket charges and disbursements of a single counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers (which shall be Simpson Thacher and Bartlett LLP), one firm of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction (which may include a single special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) and, in the case of any actual or perceived conflict of interest, one additional firm of counsel for each such group of affected Persons similarly situated taken as a whole. (2) The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Arranger, each Lender, each of their respective Affiliates and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors, controlling Persons, equityholders, partners, members and other representatives and each of their respective successors and permitted assigns (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and reasonable, documented and invoiced out-of-pocket fees and expenses (limited to reasonable and documented legal fees of a single firm of counsel for all Indemnitees, taken as a whole, and, if necessary, one firm of counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction (which may include a single special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) for all Indemnitees taken as a whole (and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, where the applicable Indemnitees affected by such conflict informs the Borrower of such conflict, and has retained, or thereafter retains, its own counsel of an additional counsel for each group of affected Indemnitees similarly situated, taken as a whole)), incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of: (a) the execution, delivery or administration of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the performance by the parties hereto and thereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated hereby; (b) the use of the proceeds of the Term Loans; or (c) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based in contract, tort or any other theory, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party or by the Borrower or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries or Affiliates or creditors (and including any investigation, preparation for, or defense of any pending or threatened claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding); provided that no Indemnitee will be indemnified for any loss, claim, damage, liability, cost or expense to the extent it: (i) has been determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from (A) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties or (B) a material breach of the obligations of such Indemnitee under the Loan Documents or (ii) relates to any proceeding between or among Indemnitees other than (A) claims against Administrative Agent or Arrangers or their respective Affiliates, in each case, in their capacity or in fulfilling their role as the agent or arranger or any other similar role under a Term Facility (excluding their role as a Lender) to the extent such 200 US-DOCS\97700238.15141444430.9 Persons are otherwise entitled to receive indemnification under this Section 10.05(2) or (B) claims arising out of any act or omission on the part of the Borrower or their Restricted Subsidiaries. (3) Subject to and without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the Borrower agrees to indemnify each Indemnitee against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses claims, damages, liabilities and related out-of-pocket expenses, including reasonable, documented and invoiced fees, and out-of-pocket charges and disbursements of one firm of counsel for all Indemnitees, taken as a whole, and, if necessary, one firm of counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction (which may include a single special counsel in multiple jurisdictions) for all Indemnitees taken as a whole (and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest where the applicable Indemnitees affected by such conflict informs the Borrower of such conflict, an additional counsel for each group of affected Indemnitees similarly situated, taken as a whole) and reasonable, documented and invoiced consultant fees, in each case, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result any claim related in any way to Environmental Laws and the Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries, or any actual or alleged presence, Release or threatened Release of Hazardous Materials at, under, on or from any property for which the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiaries would reasonably be expected to be held liable under Environmental Laws; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties. (4) Any indemnification or payments required by the Loan Parties under this Section 10.05 shall not apply with respect to (a) Taxes other than (x) any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim and (y) expenses related to the enforcement of Section 2.14 or (b) Taxes that are duplicative of any indemnification or payments required by the Loan Parties under Sections 2.12 or 2.14. (5) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no Indemnitee or Loan Party shall assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee or Loan Party, as applicable, nor will any Indemnitee, Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates be liable, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Term Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee, Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby; provided that, nothing in this clause (5) shall relieve any Loan Party of any obligation it 201 US-DOCS\97700238.15141444430.9 may otherwise have hereunder to indemnify an Indemnitee against special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages asserted against such Indemnitee by a third party. (6) The agreements in this Section 10.05 shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. All amounts due under this Section 10.05 shall be payable on written demand therefor accompanied by reasonable documentation with respect to any reimbursement, indemnification or other amount requested. SECTION 10.06. Right of Set-off. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other Indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any Subsidiary Loan Party against any of and all the Obligations of the Borrower or any Subsidiary Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such other Loan Document and although the Obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section 10.06 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that such Lender may be exercised only at the direction of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders. SECTION 10.07. Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS) 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, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (EXCEPT FOR CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION). SECTION 10.08. Waivers; Amendment. (1) No failure or delay of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any 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 each Agent 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 the Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (2) of this Section 10.08, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on the Borrower or 202 US-DOCS\97700238.15141444430.9
any other Loan Party in any case shall entitle such Person to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. (2) Subject to Section 2.11(2), 10.08(7) and 10.08(11) below, except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement (or the applicable Loan Document), neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except (a) as provided in Sections 2.18, 2.19, 2.20 and 10.20; (b) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing signed by the Borrower and the Required Lenders; and (c) in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by each party thereto, the Administrative Agent (with the consent of the Required Lenders) and the Borrower; provided, that except as expressly provided in Section 2.11(2), 2.18, 2.19, 2.20 and 10.20, no such agreement shall: (i) decrease, forgive, waive or excuse the principal amount of, or any interest on, or extend the final maturity of, or decrease the rate of interest on, any Term Loan, without the prior written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (it being understood that waivers or other modifications of any conditions precedent, covenants, mandatory prepayments, mandatory commitment reductions, default interest, Defaults or Events of Default shall not constitute a decrease, forgiveness, waiver or excuse of the principal amount of, or any interest on, or an extension of the final maturity of, or a decrease the rate of interest on, any Term Loan); (ii) increase or extend the Commitment of any Lender or decrease, forgive, waive or excuse the fees of any Agent without the prior written consent of such Lender or Agent (it being understood that waivers or other modifications of any conditions precedent, covenants, mandatory prepayments, mandatory commitment reductions, default interest, Defaults or Events of Default shall not constitute an increase or extension of the Commitments of any Lender or a decrease, forgiveness, waiver or excuse of any Agent fees); (iii) extend or waive any Term Loan Installment Date or reduce the amount due on any Term Loan Installment Date or extend any date on which payment of principal or interest on any Term Loan or any Fee is due, without the prior written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (it being understood that waivers or other modifications of any conditions precedent, covenants, mandatory prepayments, mandatory commitment reductions, default interest, Defaults or Events of Default shall not constitute an extension or waiver of any Term Loan Installment Date, a reduction of any amount due on a Term Loan 203 US-DOCS\97700238.15141444430.9 Installment Date or an extension of any date on which payment of principal or interest on any Term Loan or any Fee is due); (iv) amend the provisions of Section 2.15(2) or (3) of this Agreement, Section 5.02 of the Collateral Agreement or any analogous provision of any other Loan Document, in a manner that would by its terms alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the prior written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby; (v) amend or modify the provisions of this Section 10.08 or the definition of the term “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the prior written consent of each Lender (it being understood that, with the consent of the Required Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Term Loans are included on the Closing Date); or (vi) subordinate or release the liens on all or substantially all of the Collateral or all or substantially all of the aggregate value of the Guarantees (other than in connection with any transfer or other release of Collateral or of the relevant Guarantor permitted by the Loan Documents), without the prior written consent of each Lender; provided, further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent acting as such at the effective date of such agreement, as applicable.

(8) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or any other Loan Document other than as set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders”, no Defaulting Lender or Disqualified Institution will have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders, the Required Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than any Defaulting Lenders or Disqualified Institutions. (9) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, any amendment or waiver that by its terms affects the rights or duties of Lenders holding Term Loans or Commitments of a particular Class (but not the Lenders holding Term Loans or Commitments of any other Class) will require only the requisite percentage in interest of the affected Class of Lenders that would be required to consent thereto if such Class of Lenders were the only Class of Lenders. (10) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, technical and conforming modifications to the Loan Documents may be made with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

Lenders in order to correct, amend or cure any ambiguity, inconsistency or defect or correct any typographical error or other manifest error in any Loan Document, and such amendment, modification or supplement shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Document if the same is not objected to in writing by the Required Lenders within five Business Days following receipt of notice thereof. (12) In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or any other Loan Document, the Collateral Agreement, each of the other Security Documents and any related documents may be in a form reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower and may be, together with this Agreement, amended and waived with the consent of the Administrative Agent at the request of the Borrower without the need to obtain the consent of any other Lender if such amendment or waiver is delivered in order (a) to comply with local Law or advice of local counsel, (b) to cure ambiguities or defects (as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower) or (c) to cause such Security Document or other document to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

In no event will the total interest received by any Lender exceed the amount which it could lawfully have received and any such excess amount received by any Lender will be applied to reduce the principal balance of the Term Loans or to other amounts (other than interest) payable hereunder to such Lender, and if no such principal or other amounts are then outstanding, such excess or part thereof remaining will be paid to the Borrower. SECTION 10.10. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the agreements regarding certain Fees referred to herein constitute the entire contract between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof.

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, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.1110.11. SECTION 10.12. Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions. SECTION 10.13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 10.03. Delivery of an executed counterpart to this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission (e.g., “PDF” or “TIFF”) shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed original.

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 any party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents 208 US-DOCS\97700238.15141444430.9 in the courts of any jurisdiction, except that each of the Loan Parties agrees that it will not bring any such action or proceeding in any court other than New York Courts (it being acknowledged and agreed by the parties hereto that any other forum would be inconvenient and inappropriate in view of the fact that more of the Lenders who would be affected by any such action or proceeding have contacts with the State of New York than any other jurisdiction). (2) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in any New York State or federal court.

SECTION 10.20. Intercreditor Agreements. (1) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any provision of any Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, prior to the discharge in full of all ABL Claims, the Loan Parties shall not be required to act or refrain from acting under any Loan Document with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral in any manner that would result in a “Default” or “Event of Default” (as defined in any ABL Loan Document) under the terms and provisions of the ABL Loan Documents.

The foregoing provisions are intended as an inducement to the lenders under the ABL Credit Agreement to extend credit and such lenders are intended third party beneficiaries of such provisions and the provisions of the Closing Date Intercreditor Agreement. (3) Further, each Secured Party: (a) authorizes and instructs the Administrative Agent to enter into any Pari Passu Lien Intercreditor Agreement or Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement each in the form attached hereto or in such other form as may be satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and agrees that it will be bound by and will take no actions contrary to the provisions of any such Pari Passu Lien Intercreditor Agreement or Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement; (b) agrees that the Administrative Agent may from time to time enter into a modification of the Closing Date Intercreditor Agreement, any Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement or any Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, as the case may be, so long as the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that such modification is consistent with the terms of this Agreement and agrees that it will be bound by and will take no actions contrary to any such Intercreditor Agreement (as so modified); and (c) pursuant to the express terms of the Intercreditor Agreements, in the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreements and this Agreement, the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreements shall govern and control.

The Borrower agrees that it will not assert any claim against any Agent, Arranger or their respective Affiliates based on an alleged breach of fiduciary duty by such party in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. SECTION 10.22. Private-Side Information Contacts. Each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Investor” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable Law, including United States federal and state securities Laws, to make reference to information that is not made available through the “Public Investor” portion of the Platform and that may contain MNPI with respect to the Borrower, any of its Affiliates, their respective Subsidiaries or their respective securities for purposes of United States federal or state securities laws. In the event that any Public Lender has determined for itself to not access any information disclosed through the Platform or otherwise, such Public Lender acknowledges that (1) other Lenders may have availed themselves of such information and (2) neither the Borrower nor the Administrative Agent has (a) any responsibility for such Public Lender’s decision to limit the scope of the information it has obtained in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (b) any duty to disclose such information to such Public Lender or to use such information on behalf of such Public Lender, and shall not be liable for the failure to so disclose or use, such information.
