Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
The information required by this item is included in Item 2.03 below and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant
On September 30, 2025 (the "Closing Date"), Science Applications International Corporation ("SAIC") entered into the Eighth Amendment (the "Amendment") to the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of October 31, 2018, as amended by the First Amendment, dated as of February 19, 2020, as further amended by the Second Amendment, dated as of March 13, 2020, as further amended by the Third Amendment, dated as of March 1, 2021, as further amended by the Fourth Amendment, dated as of July 2, 2021, as further amended by the Fifth Amendment, dated as of June 30, 2022, as further amended by the Sixth Amendment, dated as of February 8, 2024, and as further amended by the Seventh Amendment, dated as of October 18, 2024 (the "Existing Credit Agreement"), among SAIC, as borrower, Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent, and certain other lenders and parties thereto.
The Amendment established a new senior secured term loan “A” credit facility commitment in the amount of $1,100,000,000 (the "New Term Loan A Facility", and the advances thereunder, the "New Term A Loans"), with a maturity date of September 30, 2030. The New Term A Loans will amortize quarterly beginning on October 31, 2026 at 0.625% of the original borrowed amount thereunder, with such quarterly amortization increasing to 1.25% on October 31, 2027, and to 1.875% on October 31, 2028, with the remaining unamortized balance due in full upon maturity. The entirety of the New Term Loan A Facility was borrowed by SAIC on the Closing Date, the proceeds of which were used to repay in full all Term A Loans then outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement (the "Existing Term Loans") and all accrued interest thereon, to pay certain fees and expenses owing under the Existing Credit Agreement and the Amendment, and to fund cash on the balance sheet. The Amendment also established a new $1,000,000,000 revolving credit facility (the "New Revolving Credit Facility", the advances extended thereunder, the "New Revolving Loans", and the New Revolving Loans together with the New Term A Loans, the "New Credit Facilities"), with a termination date of September 30, 2030, used to refinance the $1,000,000,000 revolving credit facility under the Existing Credit Agreement (the "Existing Revolving Credit Facility"). The New Revolving Loans were used to repay in full all advances under the Existing Revolving Credit Facility outstanding immediately prior to the Closing Date (the "Existing Revolving Loans", and together with the Existing Term Loans, the "Existing Loans"). Pursuant to the Amendment, the New Credit Facilities are subject to the same interest rate margins as the Existing Loans, provided that the credit spread adjustment of 0.10% used in the calculation of certain Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate based interest rates under the Existing Credit Agreement has been eliminated.
The New Credit Facilities are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and the Company’s wholly owned domestic subsidiaries, and is guaranteed by each of the Company’s wholly owned domestic subsidiaries. The New Credit Facilities are subject to substantially the same covenants and events of default as the Existing Loans.
The Eighth Amendment also contains certain other conforming amendments. The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated by reference in this Current Report on Form 8-K Item 9.01.

(c) If pro forma effect is to be given to a Specified Transaction, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a Financial Officer of the Borrower and include only those adjustments that (i) have been certified by a Financial Officer of the Borrower as having been prepared in good faith based upon reasonable assumptions and (ii) are (A) directly attributable to the Specified Transactions with respect to which such adjustments are to be made, (B) [reserved], (C) factually supportable and reasonably identifiable and (D) based on reasonably detailed written assumptions.

(d) In the event that the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries incurs (including by assumption or guarantees) or repays (including by redemption, repayment, retirement or extinguishment) any Indebtedness included directly or indirectly in the calculation of the Leverage Ratio or the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio (other than Indebtedness incurred or repaid under any revolving credit facility in 49 [[8006820]]
the Ordinary Course of Business for working capital purposes) subsequent to the end of the applicable Test Period and prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio is made, then the Leverage Ratio and/or the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such incurrence or repayment of Indebtedness, to the extent required, as if the same had occurred on the last day of the applicable Test Period. (e) If the Borrower or one of its Subsidiaries is entering into a Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, for purposes of determining (x) compliance (including any requirement to determine compliance on a pro forma basis) with any financial ratio or test (including any Leverage Ratio test, any Senior Secured Leverage Ratio test or any Interest Coverage Ratio test and determining compliance with Section 5.05 on a pro forma basis (but not the actual compliance with Section 5.05)) and/or testing availability under any basket expressed as a percentage of EBITDA or otherwise determined by reference to a financial metric, (y) the accuracy of any representation or warranty (other than Specified Representations) or (z) the absence of any Default or Event of Default (or any type of Default or Event of Default), other than an Event of Default under Section 6.01(a) or 6.01(e), in each case, as a condition to, or for purposes of determining permissibility under this Agreement of, any Limited Condition Acquisition (or of any related action or transaction, including any assumption or incurrence of any Indebtedness, including any Incremental Term Advances or Incremental Revolving Credit Advances, or the creation of any Liens in connection therewith), the determination of whether the relevant condition is satisfied or such Limited Condition Acquisition (and any related action or transaction) is permitted under this Agreement may be made, at the election of the Borrower in its sole discretion (such election, the “LCA Election”), at the time of (or on the basis of the financial statements most recently delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(i) at the time of) (such time, the “LCA Test Date”) the execution of the definitive agreement with respect to such Limited Condition Acquisition, in each case, after giving effect on a pro forma basis to the relevant Limited Condition Acquisition (and the related actions and transactions).

In the case of any Borrowing that the related Notice of Borrowing specifies is to be comprised of Term SOFR Advances, Eurocurrency Rate Advances or Daily Simple SONIA Advances, the Borrower shall indemnify each Appropriate Lender against any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender as a result of any failure to fulfill on or before the date specified in such Notice of Borrowing for such Borrowing the applicable conditions set forth herein, including, without limitation, any loss (including loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund the Advance to be made by such Lender as part of such Borrowing when such Advance, as a result of such failure, is not made on such date. (d) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from an Appropriate Lender prior to the time of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Agent such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 2.02, as applicable, and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made such ratable portion available to the Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the higher of (A) the interest rate applicable at the time to the Advances comprising such Borrowing and (B) the cost of funds incurred by the Agent in respect of such amount and (ii) in the case of such Lender, (A) the Federal Funds Rate in the case of Advances denominated in Dollars or (B) the cost of funds incurred by the Agent in respect of such amount in the case of Advances denominated in Committed Currencies. If such Lender shall repay to the Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s Advance as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement. (e) The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Advances and to make payments pursuant to Section 9.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Appropriate Lender to make any Advance or to make any payment under Section 9.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Appropriate Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make its Advance or to make its payment under Section 9.04(c). Section 2.03. Issuance of and Drawings and Reimbursement Under Letters of Credit. (a) Request for Issuance. (i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued upon notice, given not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the fifth Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Issuance of such Letter of Credit (or on such shorter notice as the applicable Issuing Bank may agree), by the Borrower to any Issuing Bank, and such Issuing Bank shall give the Agent, prompt notice thereof. Each such notice by the Borrower of an Issuance of a Letter of Credit (a “Notice of Issuance”) shall be accompanied by a letter of credit application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer (or designee thereof) of the Borrower and may be sent by United States mail, by overnight courier, by electronic transmission using the system provided by such Issuing Bank, by personal delivery or by any other means acceptable to such Issuing Bank, specifying therein the requested (A) date of such Issuance (which shall be a Business Day), (B) Available Amount of such Letter of Credit, (C) expiration date of such Letter of Credit, (D) name and address of the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit and (E) form of such Letter of Credit. Each Letter of Credit shall be issued pursuant to such form of an application and agreement for issuance or amendment of a letter of credit as is used from time to time by such Issuing Bank (a “Letter of Credit Agreement”). If the requested form of such Letter of Credit is acceptable to such Issuing Bank in its reasonable discretion (it being understood that any such form shall have only explicit documentary conditions to draw and shall not include discretionary conditions), such Issuing Bank shall, unless such Issuing Bank has received written notice from any Lender or the Agent, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of Issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Section 3.04 shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower or the 54 [[8006820]]
applicable Subsidiary of the Borrower or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with such Issuing Bank’s usual and customary business practices. Additionally, the Borrower shall furnish to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, as such Issuing Bank or the Agent may reasonably require. In the event and to the extent that the provisions of any Letter of Credit Agreement shall conflict with this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Issuing Banks may send a Letter of Credit or conduct any communication to or from the beneficiary via the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication message or overnight courier, or any other commercially reasonable means of communicating with a beneficiary. (ii) The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower will immediately notify the applicable Issuing Bank. The Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the applicable Issuing Bank and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid. (b) Participations. By the Issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing or decreasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or the Revolving Credit Lenders, such Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Revolving Credit Lender, and each Revolving Credit Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Ratable Share of the Available Amount of such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby agrees to each such participation. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Credit Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Agent, for the account of such Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Ratable Share of each drawing made under a Letter of Credit funded by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date made, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason, which amount will be advanced, and deemed to be a Revolving Credit Advance to the Borrower hereunder, regardless of the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 3.04. Each Revolving Credit Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Revolving Credit Lender further acknowledges and agrees that its participation in each Letter of Credit will be automatically adjusted to reflect such Lender’s Ratable Share of the Available Amount of such Letter of Credit at each time such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment is amended pursuant to an assignment in accordance with Section 9.07 or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement. (c) Drawing and Reimbursement. (i) The payment by an Issuing Bank of a draft drawn under any Letter of Credit which is not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date made shall constitute for all purposes of this Agreement the making by any such Issuing Bank of an Advance, which shall be a Base Rate Advance, in the amount of such draft, without regard to whether the making of such an Advance would exceed such Issuing Bank’s Unused Revolving Credit Commitment. Each Issuing Bank shall give prompt notice of each drawing under any Letter of Credit issued by it to the Borrower and the Agent. The Borrower shall reimburse such Issuing Bank (which, in the case of any standby Letter of Credit, shall be through the Agent) in Dollars (in the case of Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars) or in the applicable Committed Currency (in the case of Letters of Credit denominated in a Committed Currency), unless (A) such Issuing Bank (at its option) shall have specified in such notice that it will require reimbursement in Dollars, or (B) in the absence of any such requirement for reimbursement in Dollars, the Borrower shall have notified such Issuing Bank promptly following receipt of the notice of drawing that the Borrower will reimburse such Issuing Bank in Dollars. In the case of any such reimbursement in Dollars of a drawing under a Letter of Credit denominated in a Committed Currency, the applicable Issuing Bank shall notify the Borrower of the Equivalent of the amount of the drawing promptly following the determination thereof, on (A) the date the Borrower receives such notice of payment by the applicable Issuing Bank; provided that such notice is given not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on such day, or (B) the first Business 55 [[8006820]]
Day next succeeding such day if notice of such payment is given after such time. If the Borrower fails to so reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank by such time, the Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender the amount of the unreimbursed drawing, and the amount of such Lender’s Ratable Share thereof. Each Revolving Credit Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to make Advances pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Promptly after receipt thereof, the Agent shall transfer such funds to such Issuing Bank. Each Revolving Credit Lender agrees to fund its Ratable Share of an outstanding Advance on (i) the Business Day on which demand therefor is made by such Issuing Bank, provided that notice of such demand is given not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on such Business Day, or (ii) the first Business Day next succeeding such demand if notice of such demand is given after such time. If and to the extent that any Revolving Credit Lender shall not have so made the amount of such Advance available to the applicable Issuing Bank, such Lender agrees to pay to the Agent forthwith on demand such amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date of demand by any such Issuing Bank until the date such amount is paid to the Agent, at the higher of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Issuing Bank in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A certificate of an Issuing Bank submitted to any Lender (through the Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.03(c) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. If such Lender shall pay to the Agent such amount for the account of any such Issuing Bank on any Business Day, such amount so paid in respect of principal shall constitute an Advance made by such Lender on such Business Day for purposes of this Agreement, and the outstanding principal amount of the Advance made by such Issuing Bank shall be reduced by such amount on such Business Day. (ii) If any payment received by the Agent for the account of an Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned because it is invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Issuing Bank in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank its Ratable Share thereof on demand of the Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to (x) with respect to any amount denominated in Dollars, the greater of (1) the Federal Funds Rate and (2) an overnight rate determined by the Agent or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, and (y) with respect to any amount denominated in a Committed Currency, the rate of interest per annum at which overnight deposits in the applicable Committed Currency, in an amount approximately equal to the amount with respect to which such rate is being determined, would be offered for such day by a branch or Affiliate of the Agent or such Issuing Bank in the applicable offshore interbank market for such currency to major banks in such interbank market. The obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the obligations and the termination of this Agreement. (d) Letter of Credit Reports. Each Issuing Bank shall furnish (i) to the Agent (with a copy to the Borrower), on the first Business Day of each week a written report summarizing Issuance and expiration dates of trade Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank during the preceding week and drawings during such week under all trade Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, (ii) to the Agent (with a copy to the Borrower), on the first Business Day of each month a written report summarizing Issuance and expiration dates of Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank during the preceding month and drawings during such month under all Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank and (iii) to the Agent (with a copy to the Borrower), on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter a written report setting forth (A) the average daily aggregate Available Amount and (B) the amount available to be drawn, in each case, during the preceding calendar quarter of all Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank. The Agent shall give to each Revolving Credit Lender prompt notice of each report delivered to it pursuant to this Section. 56 [[8006820]]
(e) Failure to Make Advances. The failure of any Revolving Credit Lender to make the Advance to be made by it on the date specified in Section 2.03(c) shall not relieve any other Revolving Credit Lender of its obligation hereunder to make its Advance on such date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Advance to be made by such other Lender on such date. (f) Applicability of ISP and UCP; Limitation of Liability. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Issuing Banks and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the UCP shall apply to each trade Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Issuing Bank shall be responsible to the Borrower for, and no Issuing Bank’s rights and remedies against the Borrower shall be impaired by, any action or inaction of such Issuing Bank required or permitted under any law, order, or practice that is required or permitted to be applied to any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, including any order of a jurisdiction where such Issuing Bank or the beneficiary is located, the practice stated in the ISP or UCP, as applicable, or in the decisions, opinions, practice statements or official commentary of the ICC Banking Commission, the Bankers Association for Finance and Trade - International Financial Services Association (BAFT-IFSA), or the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice, whether or not any Letter of Credit chooses such law or practice. (g) Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of its Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries. Section 2.04. Fees. (a) Commitment Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender a commitment fee on the aggregate amount of such Lender’s Unused Revolving Credit Commitment from the Eighth Amendment Effective Date and until the Termination Date applicable to such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Percentage in effect from time to time, payable in arrears quarterly on the last day of each March, June, September and December, commencing December 31, 20182025, and on the Termination Date applicable to such Lender. (b) Letter of Credit Fees. (i) The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender a fee on such Lender’s Ratable Share of the average daily aggregate Available Amount of all Letters of Credit and outstanding from time to time at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Term SOFR Advances under the Revolving Credit Facility in effect from time to time during such calendar quarter, payable in arrears quarterly on the last day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the quarter ended December 31, 20182025, and on the Termination Date; provided that the Applicable Margin shall be 2% above the Applicable Margin in effect upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default if the Borrower is required to pay Default Interest pursuant to Section 2.07(b). (ii) The Borrower shall pay to each Issuing Bank, for its own account, a fronting fee and such other commissions, issuance fees, transfer fees and other fees and charges in connection with the Issuance or administration of each Letter of Credit as the Borrower and such Issuing Bank shall agree. (c) Agent’s Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for its own account such fees as may from time to time be agreed between the Borrower and the Agent. Section 2.05. Optional Termination or Reduction of the Commitments. The Borrower shall have the right, upon at least three Business Days’ notice to the Agent, to terminate in whole or permanently reduce ratably in part the unused Term A Commitments (if any), Unused Revolving Credit Commitments or the Unissued Letter of Credit Commitments of the Lenders; provided that each partial reduction shall be in 57 [[8006820]]
the aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof. Once terminated, a commitment may not be reinstated. Section 2.06. Repayment of Advances and Letter of Credit Drawings. (a) Revolving Credit Advances. The Borrower shall repay to the Agent for the ratable account of the Revolving Credit Lenders on the Termination Date the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Advances made to it and then outstanding. (b) Letter of Credit Drawings. The obligations of the Borrower under any Letter of Credit Agreement and any other agreement or instrument relating to any Letter of Credit issued for the account of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall be unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such Letter of Credit Agreement and such other agreement or instrument under all circumstances, including, without limitation, the following circumstances (it being understood that any such payment by the Borrower is without prejudice to, and does not constitute a waiver of, any rights the Borrower might have or might acquire as a result of the payment by the applicable Issuing Bank or any Revolving Credit Lender of any draft or the reimbursement by the Borrower thereof): (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any Note, any Letter of Credit Agreement, any Letter of Credit or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto (all of the foregoing being, collectively, the “L/C Related Documents”); (ii) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the obligations of the Borrower in respect of any L/C Related Document or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the L/C Related Documents; (iii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that the Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of a Letter of Credit (or any Persons for which any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), any Issuing Bank, the Agent, any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with the transactions contemplated by the L/C Related Documents or any unrelated transaction; (iv) any statement or any other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; (v) payment by any Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; (vi) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guarantee, for all or any of the obligations of the Borrower in respect of the L/C Related Documents; (vii) waiver by any Issuing Bank of any requirement that exists for such Issuing Bank’s protection and not the protection of the Borrower or any waiver by such Issuing Bank which does not in fact materially prejudice the Borrower; (viii) honor of a demand for payment presented electronically even if such Letter of Credit requires that demand be in the form of a draft; (ix) any payment made by any Issuing Bank in respect of an otherwise complying item presented after the date specified as the expiration date of, or the date by which documents 58 [[8006820]]

This paragraph shall not limit the rights of the Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, under Section 2.07(b) or under Article VI. The Borrower’s obligations under this paragraph shall survive one year after the termination of the Commitments and the repayment of all other obligations hereunder. Section 2.08. Interest Rate Determination. (a) Each Reference Bank agrees, if requested by the Agent, to furnish to the Agent timely information for the purpose of determining each benchmarkBenchmark. If any one or more of the Reference Banks shall not furnish such timely information to the Agent for the purpose of determining any such interest rate, the Agent shall determine such interest rate on the basis of timely information furnished by the remaining Reference Banks. The Agent shall give prompt notice to the Borrower and the Lenders of the applicable interest rate determined by the Agent for purposes of Section 2.07(a)(i)-(iv); provided, however, that the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that in no event (subject to applicable law) shall the Agent provide or be required to provide the Borrower with any individual interest rate furnished by any Reference Bank to the Agent for the purpose of determining theany interest rate under Section 2.07(a).

(New York time) on the second Business Day before the making of a Borrowing in sufficient amounts to fund their respective Advances as a part of such Borrowing during its Interest Period prior to the commencement of any Interest Period, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining Term SOFR (including because the Term SOFR Reference Rate is not available or published on a current basis), for such Interest Period or (b) in regards to the Eurocurrency Rate Advances, they are unable to obtain matching deposits in the London interbank market at or about 11:00 A.M. (London time) on the second Business Day before the making of a Borrowing in sufficient amounts to fund their respective Advances as a part of such Borrowing during its Interest Periodprior to the commencement of any Interest Period, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurocurrency Rate (including because EURIBOR is not available or published on a current basis), for such Interest Period or (ii) the Adjusted Term SOFR or the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate for any Interest Period for such Advances will not adequately reflect the cost to such Lenders of making, funding or maintaining their respective Term SOFR Advances or the Eurocurrency Rate Advances for such Interest Period, the Agent shall forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon (A) the Borrower of such Term SOFR Advances or Eurocurrency Rate Advances will, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, (1) if such Advances are Term SOFR Advances, either (x) prepay such Advances or (y) Convert such Advances into Base Rate Advances and (2) if such Advances are Eurocurrency Rate Advances, either (x) prepay such Advances or (y) exchange such Advances into an Equivalent amount of Dollars and Convert such Advances into Base Rate Advances and (B) the obligation of the Appropriate Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Term SOFR Advances or Eurocurrency Rate Advances, as applicable, shall be suspended until the Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist. (c) If the Borrower shall fail to select the duration of any Interest Period for any Term SOFR Advances or Eurocurrency Rate Advances in accordance with the provisions contained in the definition of “Interest Period” in Section 1.01, the Agent will forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Appropriate Lenders and such Advances will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, (i) if such Advances are Term SOFR Advances, Convert into Base Rate Advances and (ii) 61 [[8006820]]
if such Advances are Eurocurrency Rate Advances, be exchanged for an Equivalent amount of Dollars and Convert into Base Rate Advances. (d) On the date on which the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Term SOFR Advances or Eurocurrency Rate Advances comprising any Borrowing shall be reduced, by payment or prepayment or otherwise, to less than the Revolving Credit Borrowing Minimum, such Advances shall automatically (i) if such Advances are Term SOFR Advances, Convert into Base Rate Advances and (ii) if such Advances are Eurocurrency Rate Advances, be exchanged for an Equivalent amount of Dollars and Convert into Base Rate Advances. (e) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default under Section 6.01, (i) each Term SOFR Advance and Eurocurrency Rate Advance will, upon request of the Required Lenders to the Agent, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, (A) if such Advances are Term SOFR Advances, be Converted into Base Rate Advances and (B) if such Advances are Eurocurrency Rate Advances, be exchanged for an Equivalent amount of Dollars and be Converted into Base Rate Advances and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Term SOFR Advances or Eurocurrency Rate Advances, as applicable, shall, if so requested by the Required Lenders, be suspended. (f) Benchmark Replacement (i) Notwithstanding 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 any setting of any Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (a) 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 (b) 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 has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. If the Benchmark Replacement is Daily Simple SOFR, all interest payments will be payable on a quarterly basis. (ii) In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. (iii) The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower of (x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark and the commencement 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 2.08, 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 62 [[8006820]]
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 2.08. (iv) 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), (i) if any then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate or EURIBOR) 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 not or will not be representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) 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 not or will not be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor. (v) 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), (i) if any then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate or EURIBOR) 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 not or will not be representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) 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 not or will not be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor. (viv) Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to a given Benchmark, (i) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Term SOFR Borrowing, Daily Simple SONIA Borrowing or Eurocurrency Rate Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term SOFR Advances, or a Eurocurrency Rate Advances in each case, to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period denominated in the applicable Currency and, failing that, (A) in the case of any request for any affected Term SOFR Borrowing, if applicable, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for an Base Rate Advance or conversion to Base Rate Advance in the amount specified therein and (B) in the case of any request for any affected Daily Simple SONIA Borrowing or Eurocurrency Rate Borrowing, in each case, in an Committed Currency, if applicable, then such request shall be ineffective and (ii)(A) any outstanding affected Term SOFR Advances, if applicable, will be deemed to have been converted into a Base Rate Advance at the end of the applicable Interest Period and (B) any outstanding affected Daily Simple SONIA Advances or Eurocurrency Rate LoansAdvances, in each case, denominated in an Committed Currency, at the Borrower’s election, shall either (I) be converted into a Base Rate Advance denominated in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Committed Currency) immediately or, in the case of Eurocurrency Rate LoansAdvances, at the end of the applicable Interest Period or (II) be prepaid in full immediately or, in the case of Eurocurrency Rate LoansAdvances, at the end of the applicable Interest Period; provided that, with respect to 63 [[8006820]]
any Daily Simple SONIA Advances, if no election is made by the Borrower by the date that is three Business Days after receipt by the Borrower of such notice, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected clause (I) above; provided, further that, with respect to any Eurocurrency Rate LoanAdvance, if no election is made by the Borrower by the earlier of (x) the date that is three Business Days after receipt by the Borrower of such notice and (y) the last day of the current Interest Period for the applicable Eurocurrency Rate LoanAdvance, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected clause (I) above. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest (except with respect to any prepayment or conversion of a Daily Simple SONIA Advance) on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to this Section 2.08. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to any Benchmark or at any time that a tenor for any then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark that is the subject of such Benchmark Unavailability Period or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of Base Rate. Section 2.09. Optional Conversion of Advances. The Borrower may on any Business Day, upon notice given to the Agent not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Conversion and subject to the provisions of Sections 2.08 and 2.12, Convert all Advances denominated in Dollars of one Type comprising the same Borrowing into Advances denominated in Dollars of the other Type; provided, however, that any Conversion of Term SOFR Advances or Eurocurrency Rate Advances into Base Rate Advances shall be made only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Term SOFR Advances or Eurocurrency Rate Advances, any Conversion of Base Rate Advances into Term SOFR Advances or Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall be in an amount not less than the minimum amount specified in Section 2.02(b) and no Conversion of any Advances shall result in more separate Borrowings than permitted under Section 2.02(b). Each such notice of a Conversion shall, within the restrictions specified above, specify (i) the date of such Conversion, (ii) the Dollar denominated Advances to be Converted, and (iii) if such Conversion is into Term SOFR Advances or Eurocurrency Rate Advances, the duration of the initial Interest Period for each such Advance. Each notice of Conversion shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower giving such notice. Section 2.10. Prepayments of Advances. (a) Optional. (i) The Borrower may, upon notice at least three Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment, in the case of Term SOFR Advances, Eurocurrency Rate Advances or Daily Simple SONIA Advances, and not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the date of such prepayment, in the case of Base Rate Advances, to the Agent stating the proposed date and aggregate principal amount of the prepayment, and if such notice is given the Borrower shall, prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing in whole or ratably in part, together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid; provided, however, that (x) each partial prepayment of Advances shall be in an aggregate principal amount of not less than the Borrowing Minimum or a Borrowing Multiple in excess thereof, (y) in the event of any such prepayment of a Term SOFR Advance or Eurocurrency Rate Advance, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the Lenders in respect thereof pursuant to Section 9.04 and (z) any prepayment in respect of the Tranche B3 Facility shall be subject to Section 2.10(a)(ii) below. Any prepayments pursuant to this Section 2.10(a) may be made with respect to one or more Facilities as may be determined by the Borrower and shall not be required to be made ratably across the Facilities. Any prepayment with respect to the Tranche B Facility, the Tranche B2Term A Facility or the Tranche B3 Facility shall be applied to the remaining amortization payments thereunder as directed by the Borrower. The Borrower may rescind any notice of prepayment with respect to the Tranche B Facility, the Tranche B2 Facility or Tranche B3 Facility under this Section 2.10(a) if such prepayment would have resulted from a refinancing of all of the Tranche B Facility, the Tranche B2 Facility or Tranche B3 Facility, as applicable, which refinancing shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed. (ii) In the event that (other than in connection with a refinancing of the entirety of the Facilities in connection with a Change in Control) on or prior to the date that is six months after the Seventh Amendment Effective Date, (i) all or any portion of the Tranche B3 Loans are prepaid or repaid from the proceeds of an issuance or incurrence of Indebtedness by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (including any Specified Refinancing Debt or Incremental Facility or any 64 [[8006820]]
other refinancing or incremental facility effected pursuant to an amendment of this Agreement) and the effective yield (in each case, to be determined in the reasonable discretion of the Administrative Agent consistent with generally accepted financial practices, after giving effect to margins and any applicable interest rate “floors”, recurring fees and all other upfront or similar fees or original issue discount, but excluding the effect of any bona fide arrangement, structuring, syndication or other fees payable in connection therewith that are not shared with all lenders or holders thereof) is, or upon satisfaction of specified conditions could be, lower than the effective yield in respect of the Tranche B3 Loans (as determined on the same basis) or (ii) a Tranche B3 Lender is deemed a Non-Approving Lender and must assign its Tranche B3 Loans pursuant to Section 2.18(b) in connection with any waiver, amendment or modification that would reduce the effective yield in effect with respect to such Tranche B3 Loans (each of clauses (i) and (ii), a “Repricing Event”), then in each case the aggregate principal amount so prepaid or repaid or assigned will be subject to a fee payable by the Borrower equal to 1.00% of the principal amount of Tranche B3 Loans prepaid or repaid or assigned in connection with such Repricing Event, on the date of such Repricing Event. Such fee shall be paid by the Borrower to the Agent, for the account of the Tranche B3 Lenders or such Non-Approving Lenders, on the date of such Repricing Event. (b) Mandatory. (i) If, on any date, the Agent notifies the Borrower that, on any interest payment date, the sum of (A) the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Credit Advances denominated in Dollars plus the aggregate Available Amount of all Letters of Credit then outstanding plus (B) the Equivalent in Dollars (determined on the third Business Day prior to such interest payment date) of the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Credit Advances denominated in Committed Currencies then outstanding exceeds 103% of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments of the Revolving Credit Lenders on such date, the Borrower shall, as soon as practicable and in any event within two Business Days after receipt of such notice, prepay the outstanding principal amount of any Revolving Credit Advances owing by the Borrower in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce such sum to an amount not to exceed 100% of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments of the Revolving Credit Lenders on such date; provided that if the Borrower has Cash Collateralized Letters of Credit in accordance with Section 2.20(a), the Available Amount of the outstanding Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been reduced by the amount of such Cash Collateral. The Agent shall give prompt notice of any prepayment required under this Section 2.10(b)(i) to the Borrower and the Revolving Credit Lenders, and shall provide prompt notice to the Borrower of any such notice of required prepayment received by it from any Revolving Credit Lender. (ii) Each prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.10(b) shall be made together with any interest accrued to the date of such prepayment on the principal amounts prepaid and, in the case of any prepayment of a Term SOFR Advance or Eurocurrency Rate Advance on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period or at its maturity, any additional amounts which the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse to the Lenders in respect thereof pursuant to Section 9.04. (iii) No later than three Business Days after the date on which the financial statements with respect to each fiscal year are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(i)(ii) (commencing with the Borrower’s fiscal year ending on or about January 31, 2020), the Borrower shall prepay outstanding Term A Advances, Tranche B Loans, Tranche B2 Loans and Tranche B3 Loans in accordance with Section 2.10(b)(vi) in an aggregate principal amount equal to the excess, if any, of (A) the Excess Cash Flow Percentage of Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal year then ended minus (B) any optional prepayments or repurchases of Term A Advances, Tranche B Loans, Tranche B2 Loans or Tranche B3 Loans pursuant to Section 2.10(a) made during such fiscal year, or in the following fiscal year before the making of any prepayment required in respect of such fiscal year pursuant to this Section 2.10(b)(iii), but only to the extent that (i) such prepayments do not occur in connection with a refinancing of all or any portion of such Term A Advances, Tranche B Loans, Tranche B2 Loans or Tranche B3 Loans and (ii) such prepayment was not previously applied to reduce the amount of any prepayment required by this Section 2.10(b)(iii) in respect of a prior fiscal year. 65 [[8006820]]
(iv) In the event that the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from the issuance or incurrence of any Indebtedness for borrowed money of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (other than any cash proceeds from the issuance of Indebtedness for borrowed money permitted under this Agreement), the Borrower shall, substantially simultaneously with (and in any event not later than the third Business Day next following) the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds by the Borrower or any such Subsidiary, apply an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds to prepay outstanding Term A Advances, Tranche B Loans, Tranche B2 Loans and Tranche B3 Loans in accordance with Section 2.10(b)(vi). (v) Not later than the third Business Day following the receipt of Net Cash Proceeds in respect of any Asset Sale, the Borrower shall apply 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds received with respect thereto to prepay outstanding Term A Advances, Term B Loans, Tranche B2 Loans and Tranche B3 Loans in accordance with Section 2.10(b)(vi). (vi) Mandatory prepayments of outstanding Term A Advances, Tranche B Loans, Tranche B2 Loans and Tranche B3 Loans under this Agreement shall be allocated as between the relevant Facilities on a pro rata basis to each of the Term A Advances, the Tranche B Loans, the Tranche B2 Loans and Tranche B3 Loans (except to the extent such prepayment is required to be made as a result of a refinancing in whole or in part of the Tranche B Facility, the Tranche B2 Facility or the Tranche B3 Facility in connection with a Refinancing Amendment that requires the allocation of the prepayment solely to the Tranche B Facility, the Tranche B2 Facility or the Tranche B3 Facility, as applicable), and, (A) in the case of Term A Advances, shall be applied pro rata to the remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect of the Term A Advances under Section 2.06(c), and (B) in the case of Tranche B Loans, shall be applied pro rata to the remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect of the Tranche B Loans under Section 2.06(d), (C) in the case of Tranche B2 Loans, shall be applied pro rata to the remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect of the Tranche B2 Loans under Section 2.06(e) and (D) in the case of Tranche B3 Loans, shall be applied pro rata to the remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect of the Tranche B3 Loans under Section 2.06(f); provided that, if the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio is equal to or less than 3.0x3.00 to 1.00 and the Leverage Ratio is equal to or less than 3.5x3.50 to 1.00, in each case on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such Asset Sale including the application of proceeds therefrom, solely at the option of the Borrower, the Borrower shall not be required to make a mandatory prepayment of the Term A Advances pursuant to Section 2.10(b)(v) and all Net Cash Proceeds in respect of such Asset Sale shall prepay only the Tranche B Facility, the Tranche B2 Facility and the Tranche B3 Facility as set forth in this Section 2.10(b)(vi). (vii) The Borrower shall deliver to the Agent, at the time of each prepayment required under Sections 2.10(b)(iii), (iv) and (v) above, (i) a certificate signed by a Financial Officer of the Borrower setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount of such prepayment and (ii) to the extent practicable, at least three Business Days’ prior written notice of such prepayment. Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date, the Type of each Advance being prepaid and the principal amount of each Advance (or portion thereof) to be prepaid. The Agent shall promptly advise the Appropriate Lenders of any notice given (and the contents thereof) pursuant to this Section 2.10(b). All prepayments under this Section 2.10(b) shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be prepaid to but excluding the date of payment. Section 2.11. Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall: (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate); 66 [[8006820]]
(ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or (iii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market or another market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement, Term SOFR Advances or Eurocurrency Rate Advances made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Advance or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Advance, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or other Recipient, the Borrower will pay to such Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. (b) Capital Adequacy. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Advances 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), 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. (c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. (d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six months 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 (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). Section 2.12. Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund LoansAdvances whose interest is determined by reference to Adjusted Daily Simple SONIA, Eurocurrency Rate or Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate, or the Term SOFR Reference Rate or Adjusted Term SOFR, or to determine or charge interest based upon Adjusted Daily Simple SONIA, Eurocurrency Rate or Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate, or the Term SOFR Reference Rate or Adjusted Term SOFR, or, with respect to any Eurocurrency Rate LoanAdvances, any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, any applicable Currency in the applicable offshore interbank market for the applicable Currency then, upon notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower (through the Administrative Agent) (an “Illegality Notice”), (a) any obligation of the Lenders to make Term SOFR Advances, Daily Simple SONIA 67 [[8006820]]
Advances or Eurocurrency Rate Advances, as applicable, and any right of the Borrower to continue Term SOFR Advances or Eurocurrency Rate LoansAdvances, as applicable, in the affected Currency or Currencies or, in the case of Term SOFR Advances denominated in Dollars, to convert Base Rate Advances to Term SOFR Advances, shall be suspended, and (b) if necessary to avoid such illegality, the Administrative Agent shall compute the Base Rate without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate”, in each case until each such affected Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of an Illegality Notice, the Borrower shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, upon demand from any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, (i) convert all Term SOFR Advances denominated in Dollars to Base Rate Advances or (ii) convert all Term SOFR Advances or Eurocurrency Rate Advances denominated in an affected Committed Currency to Base Rate Advances denominated in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Committed Currency) (in each case, if necessary to avoid such illegality, the Administrative Agent shall compute the Base Rate without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate”), (A) with respect to Term SOFR Advances, on the interest payment date therefor, if all affected Lenders may lawfully continue to maintain such Term SOFR Advances to such day, or immediately, if any Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Term SOFR Advances to such day or (B) with respect to Eurocurrency Rate LoansAdvances, on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if all affected Lenders may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate LoansAdvances, as applicable, to such day, or immediately, if any Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate LoansAdvances, as applicable, to such day. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest (except with respect to any prepayment or conversion of a Daily Simple SONIA Advances) on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.11. Section 2.13. Payments and Computations. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment hereunder (except with respect to principal of, interest on, and other amounts relating to, Advances denominated in a Committed Currency), irrespective of any right of counterclaim or set-off, not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the day when due in Dollars to the Agent at the applicable Agent’s Account in same day funds. The Borrower shall make each payment hereunder with respect to principal of, interest on, and other amounts relating to, Advances denominated in a Committed Currency, irrespective of any right of counterclaim or set-off, not later than 11:00 A.M. (at the Payment Office for such Committed Currency) on the day when due in such Committed Currency to the Agent, by deposit of such funds to the applicable Agent’s Account in same day funds. The Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest, fees or commissions ratably (other than amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.04(b), 2.11, 2.14 or 9.04) to the applicable Lenders for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices, and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender to such Lender for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon any Assuming Lender becoming a Lender hereunder as a result of an extension of the Termination Date pursuant to Section 2.22 and upon the Agent’s receipt of such Lender’s Assumption Agreement and recording of the information contained therein in the Register, from and after the applicable Extension Date, the Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under any Notes issued in connection therewith in respect of the interest assumed thereby to the Assuming Lender. Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Assumption and recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 9.07(c), from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Assumption, the Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under the Notes in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Lender assignee thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Assumption shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves. (b) The Borrower hereby authorizes each Lender, if and to the extent payment owed to such Lender is not made when due hereunder or under the Note held by such Lender, to charge from time to time against any or all of the Borrower’s accounts with such Lender any amount so due. (c) All computations of interest based on Citibank’s base rate and Adjusted Daily Simple SONIA shall be made by the Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, 68 [[8006820]]
and all computations of interest based on the Term SOFR or Eurocurrency Rate or the Federal Funds Rate or and of fees and Letter of Credit fees shall be made by the Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days (or, in each case of Advances denominated in Committed Currencies where market practice differs, in accordance with market practice), in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest, fees or commissions are payable. Each determination by the Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. (d) Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Notes shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest, fee or commission, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Term SOFR Advances or Eurocurrency Rate Advances to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day. (e) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to any Lender hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Agent on such date and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each applicable Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent the Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Agent, each applicable Lender shall repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Agent, at (i) the Federal Funds Rate in the case of Advances denominated in Dollars or (ii) the cost of funds incurred by the Agent in respect of such amount in the case of Advances denominated in Committed Currencies. (f) To the extent that the Agent receives funds for application to the amounts owing by the Borrower under or in respect of this Agreement or any Note in currencies other than the currency or currencies required to enable the Agent to distribute funds to the applicable Lenders in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.13, the Agent shall be entitled to convert or exchange such funds into Dollars or into a Committed Currency or from Dollars to a Committed Currency or from a Committed Currency to Dollars, as the case may be, to the extent necessary to enable the Agent to distribute such funds in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.13; provided that the Borrower and each of the Lenders hereby agree that the Agent shall not be liable or responsible for any loss, cost or expense suffered by the Borrower or such Lender as a result of any conversion or exchange of currencies affected pursuant to this Section 2.13(f) or as a result of the failure of the Agent to effect any such conversion or exchange; and provided further that the Borrower agrees to indemnify the Agent and each Lender, and hold the Agent and each Lender harmless, for any and all losses, costs and expenses incurred by the Agent or any Lender for any conversion or exchange of currencies (or the failure to convert or exchange any currencies) in accordance with this Section 2.13(f). Section 2.14. Taxes. (a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. 69 [[8006820]]
(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes. (c) Indemnification by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Agent), or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount being requested, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. (d) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.07(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Agent under this paragraph (d). (e) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.14, such Loan Party shall deliver to the 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 Agent. (f) Status of Recipients. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the 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 Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as will enable the Borrower or the 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 by any Lender (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 2.14(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii) (D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. (ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of 70 [[8006820]]
the Borrower or the Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax; (B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), 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 is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W‑8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty; (ii) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI; (iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or (iv) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W- 8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E-2 or Exhibit E-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; (C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to 71 [[8006820]]
permit the Borrower or the Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and (D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the 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 Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. (g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.14 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.14), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person. (h) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.14 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the 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. (i) Interpretation. For purposes of this Section 2.14, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA. (j) For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, the Borrower and the Agent shall treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Agent to treat) the Advances as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i). 72 [[8006820]]
Section 2.15. Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Advances or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Advances and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Advances and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Advances and other amounts owing them; provided that: (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Advances or participations in L/C Obligations to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). 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. Section 2.16. Evidence of Debt. (a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Advance owing to such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder in respect of Advances. The Borrower agrees that upon notice by any Lender to the Borrower (with a copy of such notice to the Agent) to the effect that a Note is required or appropriate in order for such Lender to evidence (whether for purposes of pledge, enforcement or otherwise) the Advances owing to, or to be made by, such Lender, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender a Note payable to such Lender (or its registered assigns) in a principal amount up to (x) in the case of a Term Note, Tranche B Note, Tranche B2A Note or Tranche B3 Note, the sum of the then-applicable Commitment of such Lender and the applicable Advances owing to such Lender and (y) in the case of a Revolving Credit Note, the applicable Commitment of such Lender. (b) The Register maintained by the Agent pursuant to Section 9.07(c) shall include a control account, and a subsidiary account for each Lender, in which accounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the date and amount of each Borrowing made hereunder, the Type of Advances comprising such Borrowing and, if appropriate, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the terms of each Assumption Agreement and each Assignment and Assumption delivered to and accepted by it, (iii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Agent from the Borrower hereunder and each Lender’s share thereof. (c) Entries made in good faith by each Lender in its account or accounts pursuant to subsection (a) above shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to such Lender under this Agreement, absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of such Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower 73 [[8006820]]
under this Agreement; and provided further that in the event of any conflict between the Register and the Lender’s account or accounts, the Register shall govern. Section 2.17. Use of Proceeds. (a) Revolving Credit Advances. The proceeds of the Revolving Credit Advances shall be available (and the Borrower agrees that it shall use such proceeds) solely for working capital and general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, including payment of fees and expenses in connection with the Facilities. (b) Tranche B Loans. The proceeds of the Tranche B Loans made on the Effective Date shall be available (and the Borrower agrees that it shall use such proceeds) solely to finance the Borrower Refinancing.[Reserved] (c) Term A Advances. The proceeds of the Term A Advances shall be available on the FifthEighth Amendment Effective Date, together with the proceeds incurred pursuant to Section 2.24 to be used to finance the Fifth Amendment Refinancing and the proceeds not used for the Fifth Amendment Refinancing and incurred pursuant to Section 2.23 to be used to refinance a portion of the Tranche B Loans and toof any Revolving Credit Advances made on the Eighth Amendment Effective Date, to (i) repay in full all Term Advances (as defined in this Agreement immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Eighth Amendment) outstanding immediately prior to the Eighth Amendment Effective Date and to pay all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, (ii) repay in full all Revolving Credit Advances (as defined in this Agreement immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Eighth Amendment) outstanding immediately prior to the Eighth Amendment Effective Date and to pay all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, (iii) pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Fifth Amendment.transactions contemplated by the Eighth Amendment and (iv) to the extent any proceeds remain after application in accordance with the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), fund cash to the balance sheet of the Borrower. (d) Tranche B2 Loans. The proceeds of the Tranche B2 Loans made on the Second Amendment Effective Date shall be available (and the Borrower agrees that it shall use such proceeds) solely to finance the Olympus Acquisition, including the payment of fees and expenses in connection therewith.[Reserved] (e) Tranche B3 Loans. The proceeds of the Tranche B3 Loans made on the Sixth Amendment Effective Date shall be available solely to refinance the existing Tranche B Loans and Tranche B2 Loans (each as defined in this Agreement as of the Sixth Amendment Effective Date), including the payment of fees and expenses in connection therewith. (f) The Borrower represents and covenants that no Advance, nor the proceeds from any Advance, will be used directly or, to its knowledge, indirectly, (i) in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay, or authorization of the payment or giving of money, or anything else of value, to any Person in violation of any Anti-Corruption Laws, (ii) for the purpose of funding or financing any activities, business or transaction of or with any Sanctioned Person, or in any Sanctioned Country, except in accordance with valid and effective licenses and permits issued by the government of the United States or otherwise in accordance with applicable law or (iii) in any manner that would result in the violation of any Sanctions applicable to the Borrower, or to the knowledge to the Borrower, any other party hereto. Section 2.18. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.11, or requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.14, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different Applicable Lending Office for funding or booking its Advances hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations 74 [[8006820]]
hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.11 or 2.14, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. (b) Replacement of Lenders. (i) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.11, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.14 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different Applicable Lending Office in accordance with Section 2.18(a), or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Approving Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 9.07), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.11 or Section 2.14) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that: (ii) the Borrower shall have paid to the Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 9.07; (iii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Advances and participations in Letters of Credit (if any), accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 9.04(f)) from the assignee (and/or, with the prior consent of the Borrower, from the Borrower) (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts and any amounts under Section 2.10(a)(ii)); (iv) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.11 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.14, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; (v) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law; and (vi) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Approving Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent. (c) A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. (d) Each party hereto agrees that an assignment and delegation required pursuant to clause (b) above may, at the Administrative Agent’s request and notwithstanding anything in Section 9.07 or elsewhere herein to the contrary, be effected pursuant to an assignment and assumption agreement (or any other written instrument), in each case, in a form acceptable to the Administrative Agent, executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee, and that the Lender required to make such assignment and delegation need not be a party thereto. Section 2.19. Cash Collateral. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender under the Revolving Credit Facility, within one Business Day following the written request of the Agent or any Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Agent) the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the Issuing Banks’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to any reallocation 75 [[8006820]]
pursuant to Section 2.20(a) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount. (a) Grant of Security Interest. The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to the Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Banks, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for the Defaulting Lenders’ obligation to fund participations in respect of L/C Obligations, to be applied pursuant to clause (b) below. If at any time the Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Agent and the Issuing Banks as herein provided or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, the Borrower will, promptly upon demand by the Agent, pay or provide to the Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender). (b) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 2.19 or Section 2.20 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of L/C Obligations (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein. (c) Termination of Requirement. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce any Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.19 following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (ii) the determination by the Agent and each Issuing Bank that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that, subject to Section 2.20, the Person providing Cash Collateral and each Issuing Bank may agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations. Section 2.20. Defaulting Lenders. (a) Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law: (i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders. (ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VI or otherwise) or received by the Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.05 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Bank hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the Issuing Banks’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.19; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default exists), to the funding of any Advance in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Advances under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize the Issuing Banks’ future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.19; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any 76 [[8006820]]
Lender or the Issuing Banks against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Advances or L/C Obligations in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Advances were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 3.04 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Advances of, and L/C Obligations owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Advances of, or L/C Obligations owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Advances and funded and unfunded participations in L/C Obligations are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable Facility without giving effect to Section 2.20(a)(iv). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.20(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto. (iii) Certain Fees. (A) Each Defaulting Lender under the Revolving Credit Facility, Term Facility shall not be entitled to receive a commitment fee pursuant to Section 2.04(a) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender. (B) Each Defaulting Lender under the Revolving Credit Facility shall be entitled to receive letter of credit fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Ratable Share of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.19. (C) With respect to any commitment fee or letter of credit fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above, the Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to each Issuing Bank the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee. (iv) Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of a Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility in accordance with their respective Ratable Shares under the Revolving Credit Facility (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Section 3.04 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrower shall have otherwise notified the Agent at such time, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender under the Revolving Credit Facility to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment. Subject to Section 9.20, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation. (v) Cash Collateral. If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available 77 [[8006820]]
to it hereunder or under law, Cash Collateralize the Issuing Banks’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.19. (b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Agent and each Issuing Bank agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Advances of the other Lenders under the applicable Facility or take such other actions as the Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Advances under the applicable Facility and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held pro rata by the Appropriate Lenders in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable Facility (without giving effect to Section 2.20(a)(iv)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. (c) New Letters of Credit. So long as any Revolving Credit Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto. Section 2.21. [Reserved] Section 2.22. Extension of Termination Date. (a) Request for Extension. The Borrower may, by notice to the Agent (who shall promptly notify the Revolving Credit Lenders) not earlier than 60 days and not later than 45 days prior to the first and/or second anniversary of the Eighth Amendment Effective Date (each, an “Extension Date”), request that each Revolving Credit Lender extend such Revolving Credit Lender’s scheduled Termination Date for an additional one year from the scheduled Termination Date then in effect with respect to such Revolving Credit Lender. (b) Lender Elections to Extend. Each Revolving Credit Lender, acting in its sole and individual discretion, shall, by notice to the Agent given not earlier than 30 days prior to the applicable Extension Date and not later than the date (the “Notice Date”) that is 20 days prior to such Extension Date, advise the Agent whether or not such Revolving Credit Lender agrees to such extension (and each Revolving Credit Lender that determines not to so extend its Termination Date (a “Non-Extending Lender”) shall notify the Agent of such fact promptly after such determination (but in any event no later than the Notice Date) and any Revolving Credit Lender that does not so advise the Agent on or before the Notice Date shall be deemed to be a Non-Extending Lender). The election of any Revolving Credit Lender to agree to such extension shall not obligate any other Revolving Credit Lender to so agree. (c) Notification by Agent. The Agent shall notify the Borrower of each Revolving Credit Lender’s determination under this Section no later than 15 days prior to the applicable Extension Date (or, if such date is not a Business Day, on the next preceding Business Day). (d) Additional Commitment Lenders. The Borrower shall have the right on or before the applicable Extension Date to replace each Non-Extending Lender with, and add as “Revolving Credit Lenders” under this Agreement in place thereof, one or more Eligible Assignees (as an “Assuming Lender”) with the approval of the Agent and each Issuing Bank (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), each of which Assuming Lenders shall have entered into an assumption agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Borrower and the Agent (an “Assumption Agreement”) duly executed by such Eligible Assignee, the Agent and the Borrower, pursuant to which such Assuming Lender shall, effective as of the applicable Extension Date, undertake a Revolving Credit Commitment (and, if any such Assuming Lender 78 [[8006820]]
is already a Revolving Credit Lender, its Revolving Credit Commitment shall be in addition to such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment hereunder on such date). (e) Minimum Extension Requirement. If (and only if) the total of the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Revolving Credit Lenders that have agreed so to extend their scheduled Termination Date (each, an “Extending Lender”) and the additional Commitments of the Assuming Lenders shall be more than 50% of the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments in effect immediately prior to the applicable Extension Date, then, effective as of such Extension Date, the scheduled Termination Date of each Extending Lender and of each Assuming Lender shall be extended to the date falling one year after the scheduled Termination Date in effect for such Lenders (except that, if such date is not a Business Day, such Termination Date as so extended shall be the next preceding Business Day) and each Assuming Lender shall thereupon become a “Revolving Credit Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement. (f) Conditions to Effectiveness of Extensions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the extension of the scheduled Termination Date pursuant to this Section 2.22 shall not be effective with respect to any Revolving Credit Lender unless on the Notice Date and on the Extension Date: (i) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing on such date and after giving effect to such extension; and (ii) the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.01 are true and correct on and as of such date of such extension and after giving effect to such extension, as though made on and as of such date, except where such representations and warranties expressly refer to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct on and as of such date on and after giving effect to such extension. Section 2.23. Incremental Facilities. (a) [Reserved] (b) The Borrower may, by written notice to the Agent from time to time, request Incremental Commitments in an amount for all such Incremental Commitments not to exceed the Incremental Facility Amount at such time from one or more Incremental Lenders, which may include any existing Lender or Eligible Assignee (each of which shall be entitled to agree or decline to participate in its sole discretion); provided that (i) any Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments (and the Incremental Revolving Credit Advances thereunder) shall be implemented as an increase to the total Revolving Credit Commitments and shall have identical terms as the Revolving Credit Commitments (and the Revolving Credit Advances thereunder) and (ii) each Incremental Lender shall be subject to the approval of the Agent (and, in the case of an Incremental Revolving Credit Lender, each Issuing Bank) (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) if such approvals would be required by Section 9.07 for an assignment of Advances or Commitments to such Incremental Lender. Such notice shall set forth (x) the amount of the Incremental Commitments being requested (which shall be in minimum increments of $5,000,000 and a minimum amount of $25,000,000 or such lesser amount equal to the remaining Incremental Facility Amount, as applicable), (y) the date on which such Incremental Commitments are requested to become effective (which shall not be less than 10 Business Days nor more than 60 days after the date of such notice, unless the Agent shall otherwise agree) and (z) in the case of Incremental Term Commitments, whether such Incremental Term Commitments are (i) commitments to make additional Term A Advances, additional Tranche B Loans, additional Tranche B2 Loans or or additional Tranche B3 Loans or (ii) commitments to make new A Type Term Loans (as defined below) with terms different from the Term A Advances (such loans, “Specified Incremental Tranche A Advances” and such commitments “Specified Incremental Tranche A Commitments”) or new B Type Term Loans (as defined below) with terms different from the Tranche B Loans, the Tranche B2 Loans and the Tranche B3 Loans then outstanding (such loans, “Specified Incremental Tranche B Advances” (and together with any Specified 79 [[8006820]]
Incremental Tranche A Advances, “Specified Incremental Term Advances”) and such commitments “Specified Incremental Tranche B Commitments”). (i) The Borrower and each applicable Incremental Lender shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Incremental Assumption Agreement and such other documentation as the Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Incremental Commitment of each Incremental Lender. Each Incremental Assumption Agreement shall specify the terms of any Incremental Term Advances to be made thereunder; provided that (1) (A) (i) the final maturity date of any Specified Incremental Tranche A Advances shall be (x) for any Specified Incremental Tranche A Advances up to an aggregate initial principal amount of all such Specified Incremental Tranche A Advances less than or equal to the Specified Incremental A Cap, no earlier than the Term A Loan Maturity Date or (y) for any Specified Incremental Tranche A Advances in excess of the Specified Incremental A Cap, no earlier than the Tranche B3 Maturity Date and (ii) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Specified Incremental Tranche A Advances shall be (x) for any Specified Incremental Tranche A Advances up to an aggregate initial principal amount of all such Specified Incremental Tranche A Advances less than or equal to the Specified Incremental A Cap, no shorter than the latest of the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term A Advances, or (y) for any Specified Incremental Tranche A Advances in excess of the Specified Incremental A Cap, no shorter than the latest of the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Tranche B3 Loans; (B) the final maturity date of any Specified Incremental Tranche B Advances shall be no earlier than the Tranche B3 Maturity Date and the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Specified Incremental Tranche B Advances shall be no shorter than the latest of the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Tranche B3 Loans; (C) if the initial yield on such Specified Incremental Tranche A Advances incurred at any time or Specified Incremental Tranche B Advances incurred on or prior to the date that is 18 months following the Sixth Amendment Effective Date, as the case may be (as determined by the Agent to be equal to the sum of (x) the margin above the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate on such Advances (which shall be increased by the amount that any interest rate “floor” applicable to such Advances on the date such Advances are made would exceed the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate for a three-month Interest Period commencing on such date) and (y) if such Advances are initially made at a discount or the Lenders making the same receive a fee directly or indirectly from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries for doing so (but excluding the effect of any bona fide arrangement, structuring, syndication or other fees payable in connection therewith that are not shared with all lenders or holders thereof) (the amount of such discount or fee, expressed as a percentage of such Advances, being referred to herein as “OID”), the amount of such OID divided by the lesser of (A) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Advances and (B) four) exceeds by more than 50 basis points (the amount of such excess above 50 basis points being referred to herein as the “Yield Differential”) the sum of (A) the Applicable Margin then in effect for Term SOFR Term A Advances (in the case of Specified Incremental Tranche A Advances) or Term SOFR Tranche B Loans, Term SOFR Tranche B2 Loans or Term SOFR Tranche B3 Loans, respectively (in the case of Specified Incremental Tranche B Advances), and (B) the amount of the OID initially paid in respect of the Term A Advances (in the case of Specified Incremental Tranche A Advances) or the Tranche B Loans, Tranche B2 Loans or Tranche B3 Loans, respectively, (in the case of Specified Incremental Tranche B Advances), divided by four, then the Applicable Margin then in effect for Term A Advances (in the case of Specified Incremental Tranche A Advances) or the Tranche B Loans, Tranche B2 Loans or Tranche B3 Loans, respectively, (in the case of Specified Incremental Tranche B Advances) shall automatically be increased by the Yield Differential, effective upon the making of the Specified Incremental Tranche A Advances or the Specified Incremental Tranche B Advances, as applicable, and (2) the other terms of any Specified Incremental Term Advances shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Agent. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Assumption Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Incremental Commitments and the Incremental Advances evidenced thereby. For purposes of this Section 2.23(b), “A Type Term Loans” means any term loans which have (x) scheduled 80 [[8006820]]
amortization in excess of 1.00% per annum and (y) a final maturity of five years or less, and “B Type Term Loans” means any term loans that are not A Type Term Loans. (ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Incremental Commitment shall become effective under this Section 2.23(b) unless (i) on the date of such effectiveness, (A) (1) the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.01 are true and correct in all material respects (except for those representations and warranties that are qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, which shall be true and correct in all respects) and (2) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (and the Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a Financial Officer of the Borrower); provided that, in connection with any Incremental Term Commitment, the proceeds of which are, concurrently with the receipt thereof, to be used by the Borrower to finance, in whole or in part, a Permitted Acquisition, then the conditions set forth in (1) and (2) above must only be satisfied at the time the acquisition agreement for such Permitted Acquisition is entered into, and the only representations and warranties that will be required to be true and correct as of the funding of the Incremental Term Advances thereunder shall be (x) the Specified Representations and (y) such of the representations and warranties made by or on behalf of the applicable acquired company or business (or the seller thereof) in the applicable acquisition agreement as are material to the interests of the Lenders, but only to the extent that the Borrower (or any of its Subsidiaries) has the right to terminate or elect not to perform its obligations under such acquisition agreement as a result of the inaccuracy of any such representations or warranties in such acquisition agreement and (B) the Borrower shall be in compliance with the Financial Covenant set forth in Section 5.05(c) after giving pro forma effect to the incurrence of such Incremental Term Commitments and/or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, the making of Advances to be made on the date of effectiveness thereof, any Permitted Acquisition consummated simultaneously therewith, and the pro forma adjustments described in Section 1.07; (ii) all fees and expenses owing to the Agent and the Lenders in respect of such Incremental Term Commitment and/or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment shall have been paid in full, (iii) to the extent not consistent with this Agreement, the other terms and documentation in respect of the Incremental Term Advances shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Agent unless otherwise expressly permitted in this Section 2.23(b) and (iv) except as otherwise specified in the applicable Incremental Assumption Agreement, the Agent shall have received legal opinions, board resolutions and other closing certificates reasonably requested by the Agent and consistent with those delivered on the Effective Date. (iii) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Agent may, in consultation with the Borrower, take any and all action as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that all Incremental Advances (other than Specified Incremental Term Advances), when originally made, are included in each Borrowing of outstanding Revolving Credit Advances, Term A Advances, Tranche B Loans, Tranche B2 Loans or Tranche B3 Loans, as applicable, on a pro rata basis. This may be accomplished by, among other things, requiring each outstanding Eurocurrency Rate Borrowing or Term SOFR Borrowing to be Converted into a Base Rate Borrowing on the date of such Incremental Advance, or by allocating a portion of such Incremental Advance to each outstanding Eurocurrency Rate Borrowing or Term SOFR Borrowing under the relevant Facility on a pro rata basis. Any Conversion of Term SOFR Advances or Eurocurrency Rate Advances to Base Rate Advances required by the preceding sentence shall be subject to Section 9.04(f). If any Incremental Advance is to be allocated to an existing Interest Period for a Term SOFR Advance or Eurocurrency Rate Advance, then the interest rate thereon for such Interest Period and the other economic consequences thereof shall be as set forth in the applicable Incremental Assumption Agreement. In addition, to the extent any Incremental Term Advances are Term A Advances, the scheduled amortization payments under Section 2.06(c), required to be made after the making of such Incremental Term Advances shall be ratably increased by the aggregate principal amount of such Incremental Term Advances. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Incremental Term Commitments to make Specified Incremental Term Advances may not be requested without the prior written consent of the Agent if, as a result of the Specified Incremental Term Advances to be 81 [[8006820]]
made thereunder, there would be more than five classes of Term A Advances, Tranche B Loans, Tranche B2 Loans or Tranche B3 Loans, together, outstanding. (iv) Notwithstanding any other provision of any Loan Document, each Loan Document may be modified, supplemented, amended and/or amended and restated by the Agent and the Borrower without the action or consent of any other party, if the Agent determines it to be necessary or advisable, to provide for terms applicable to any Incremental Advances permitted by or to otherwise give effect to this Section 2.23(b). Section 2.24. Specified Refinancing Debt. (a) The Borrower may, from time to time, and subject to the consent of the Agent, add one or more new term loan facilities to this Agreement (“Specified Refinancing Debt”) pursuant to procedures reasonably specified by the Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Borrower, to refinance all or any portion of the Tranche B Loans, Tranche B2 Loans, Tranche B3 Loans or Term A Advances then outstanding under this Agreement pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment; provided that such Specified Refinancing Debt: (i) shall rank pari passu in right of payment with the other Advances and Commitments hereunder; (ii) shall not be guaranteed by any Person that is not a Guarantor; (iii) shall be unsecured or secured by the Collateral on an equal and ratable basis with the Obligations (or on a second-lien basis pursuant to intercreditor arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Agent); (iv) shall have such pricing and optional prepayment terms as may be agreed by the Borrower and the applicable lenders thereof; (v)(w) if refinancing all or any portion of the Tranche B Loans shall have a maturity date that is not prior to the scheduled Tranche B Maturity Date, and shall have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity that is not shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Tranche B Loans being refinanced, (v)(x) if refinancing all or any portion of the Term A Advances shall have a maturity date that is not prior to the scheduled Term A Loan Maturity Date, and shall have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity that is not shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term A Advances being refinanced, (v) or (y) if refinancing all or any portion of the Tranche B2 Loans shall have a maturity date that is not prior to the scheduled Tranche B2 Maturity Date, and shall have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity that is not shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Tranche B2 Loans being refinanced or (v)(z) if refinancing all or any portion of the Tranche B3 Loans shall have a maturity date that is not prior to the scheduled Tranche B3 Maturity Date, and shall have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity that is not shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Tranche B3 Loans being refinanced; (vi) subject to clauses (iv) and (v) above, shall have terms and conditions (other than pricing) that are substantially identical to, or less favorable to the lenders providing such Specified Refinancing Debt than, the terms and conditions of the Tranche B Loans, Tranche B2 Loans, Tranche B3 Loans, or Term A Advances, as applicable, being refinanced (unless such terms are acceptable to the Agent); and (vii) the Net Cash Proceeds of such Specified Refinancing Debt shall be applied, substantially concurrently with the incurrence thereof, to the pro rata prepayment of outstanding Tranche B Loans, Tranche B2 Loans, Tranche B3 Loans, or Term A Advances, as applicable, being so refinanced, in each case pursuant to Section 2.10; provided however, that such Specified Refinancing Debt (x) may provide for any additional or different financial or other covenants or other provisions that are agreed among the Borrower and the lenders thereof and applicable only during periods after the latest maturity date of any of the Facilities (and Commitments) that remain outstanding after giving effect to such Specified Refinancing Debt or the date on which all non-refinanced Obligations are paid in full and (y) shall not have a principal or commitment amount (or accreted value) greater than the Tranche B Loans, Tranche B2 Loans, Tranche B3 Loans or Term A Advances, as applicable, being refinanced (plus accrued interest, fees, discounts, premiums or expenses payable in connection therewith). (b) The Borrower shall make any request for Specified Refinancing Debt pursuant to a written notice to the Agent specifying in reasonable detail the proposed terms thereof. No Lender shall have any obligation hereunder to provide Specified Refinancing Debt. To achieve the full amount of a requested issuance of Specified Refinancing Debt, and subject to the approval of the Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), the Borrower may invite additional Eligible Assignees to become Lenders in respect of such Specified Refinancing Debt pursuant to a joinder agreement to this Agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent. 82 [[8006820]]
(c) The effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof of each of the conditions set forth in Section 3.04 and, to the extent reasonably requested by the Agent, receipt by the Agent of legal opinions, board resolutions, officers’ certificates and/or reaffirmation agreements, including any supplements or amendments to the Security and Guarantee Documents providing for such Specified Refinancing Debt to be secured thereby, consistent with those delivered on the Effective Date under Section 3.01 (other than changes to such legal opinions resulting from a Change in Law, change in fact or change to counsel’s form of opinion reasonably satisfactory to the Agent). The Lenders hereby authorize the Agent to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Borrower as may be necessary in order to establish new tranches of Specified Refinancing Debt and to make such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Agent and the Borrower in connection with the establishment of such new tranches, in each case on terms consistent with this Section 2.24. (d) Each class of Specified Refinancing Debt incurred under this Section 2.24 shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (x) not less than $25,000,000 and (y) an integral multiple of $5,000,000 in excess thereof. (e) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Specified Refinancing Debt incurred pursuant thereto (including the addition of such Specified Refinancing Debt as separate “Facilities” hereunder and treated in a manner consistent with the Facilities being refinanced, including for purposes of prepayments and voting). Any Refinancing Amendment may, without the consent of any Person other than the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders providing such Specified Refinancing Debt, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.24.

After the exercise of any remedies provided for in Section 6.01 or Section 6.02 (or after an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrower or any other Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law), any amounts received on account of the Obligations (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any proceeds of any collection, sale, foreclosure or other realization upon any Collateral, including Collateral consisting of cash) shall, subject to the provisions of Section 2.19, be applied by the Agent in the following order: (a) first, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (including fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel payable under Section 9.04) payable to the Agent in its capacity as such, including any costs and expenses incurred by the Agent in its capacity as such in connection with the collection, sale, foreclosure or realization or otherwise of Collateral in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any of the Obligations, the repayment of advances made by the Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document on behalf of any Loan Party and any other costs or expenses incurred in connection with exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document; (b) second, to payment in full of Unfunded Advances/Participations (the amounts so applied to be distributed between or among, as applicable, the Agent and the Issuing Banks pro rata in accordance with the amounts of Unfunded Advances/Participations owed to them on the date of any such distribution); (c) third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (other than principal, interest and Letter of Credit fees) payable to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks (including fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel payable under Section 9.04) arising under the Loan Documents, ratably among them in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (c) held by them; (d) fourth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid Letter of Credit fees and interest on the Advances, and on unreimbursed Letter of Credit drawings, ratably among the Lenders and the Issuing Banks in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (d) held by them; (e) fifth, (i) to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Advances, unreimbursed Letter of Credit drawings and obligations of the Loan Parties or their respective Subsidiaries then arising under Secured Hedging Obligations and Secured Cash Management Obligations and (ii) to Cash Collateralize Letters of Credit in the manner contemplated by Section 6.02 (ratably among the Lenders, the Issuing Banks, the Hedge Banks and the Cash Management Banks) in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (e) held by them; provided upon the expiration of any Letter of Credit, the pro rata share of Cash Collateral attributable to such expired Letter of Credit shall be applied by the Agent in accordance with the priority of payments set forth in this Section 6.03; (f) sixth, to the payment of all other Obligations of the Loan Parties owing under or in respect of the Loan Documents that are then due and payable to the Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the other holders or beneficiaries thereof, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such Obligations then owing to all of them; and (g) last, after all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by law. 112 [[8006820]]
ARTICLE VII [RESERVED] ARTICLE VIII THE AGENT Section 8.01. Authorization and Authority. (i) Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes Citibank to act on its behalf as the Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, and the Borrower shall not have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any Loan Document (or any other similar term) with reference to the Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties. (ii) The Agent shall also act as the Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders (including in each such Lender’s capacity as a potential Cash Management Bank and/or Hedge Bank) and Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Agent to act as the agent of such Lender or Issuing Bank for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Agent, as Collateral Agent (and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Agent pursuant to Section 8.05 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Security and Guarantee Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Agent), shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article VIII and of paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of Section 9.04, as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto. Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, but without limiting the rights of any Lender, Issuing Bank or any of their respective Affiliates under Section 9.05, each Loan Party, the Agent and each Lender hereby agree that no Lender, in its capacity as such, shall have any right individually to realize upon any collateral subject to any Security and Guarantee Documents, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder or thereunder may be exercised solely by the Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof, as applicable. Section 8.02. Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for, and generally engage in any kind of business with, any member of the Consolidated Group or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. Section 8.03. Duties of Agent; Exculpatory Provisions. (a) The Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent: 113 [[8006820]]
(i) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing; (ii) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that the Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and (iii) 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 Person serving as the Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. (b) The Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 9.01 and 6.01), or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment. The Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Agent in writing by the Borrower or a Lender. (c) The 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, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article III or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Agent. Section 8.04. Reliance by Agent. The 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) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed 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 the Eighth Amendment Effective Date, the making of an Advance or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, the Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or Issuing Bank prior to the occurrence of the Eighth Amendment Effective Date, the making of such Advance or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for 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. Section 8.05. Delegation of Duties. The Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Agent. The Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties 114 [[8006820]]
and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the Facilities as well as activities as Agent. The Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that the Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents. Section 8.06. Resignation of Agent. (a) The Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”) then the retiring Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date. (b) If the Person serving as Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Borrower and such Person remove such Person as Agent and, in consultation with the Borrower, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”) then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date. (c) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (1) the retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Agent on behalf of the Lenders hereunder, the retiring or removed Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Agent is appointed) and (2) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Agent), and the retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring or removed Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Agent was acting as Agent. (d) Any resignation pursuant to this Section by a Person acting as Agent shall, unless such Person shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders otherwise, also act to relieve such Person and its Affiliates of any obligation to advance or issue new, or extend existing, Letters of Credit where such advance, issuance or extension is to occur on or after the effective date of such resignation. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuing Bank, (ii) the retiring Issuing Bank shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and (iii) the successor Issuing Bank shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other 115 [[8006820]]
arrangement satisfactory to the retiring Issuing Bank to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring Issuing Bank with respect to such Letters of Credit. Section 8.07. Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. Section 8.08. No Other Duties, etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Bookrunners, Arrangers or Co-DocumentationSenior Managing Agents listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Agent or a Lender hereunder. Section 8.09. Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Advance or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: (A) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Advances, L/C Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Agent under Sections 2.04 and 9.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and (B) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Agent and, in the event that the Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agent and its respective agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Agent under Sections 2.04 and 9.04. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the 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 Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding. Section 8.10. Collateral and Guaranty Matters. Each of the Lenders (including in each such Lender’s capacity as a potential Cash Management Bank and/or Hedge Bank) and each Issuing Bank irrevocably authorize the Agent, at its option and in its discretion, (A) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than (A) contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been asserted and (B) obligations and liabilities under Cash Management Agreements 116 [[8006820]]
and Hedge Agreements as to which arrangements satisfactory to the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank shall have been made) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit (other than Letters of Credit which have been Cash Collateralized), (ii) that is sold or distributed or to be sold or distributed as part of or in connection with any sale permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (unless approval by a greater number or percentage of Lenders is expressly provided in any Loan Document); or (iv) if such property is any parcel of real property subject to a Mortgage and has a fair market value that is not in excess of $15,000,000 (as reported on the most recent Perfection Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(i)(ii)(b)); (B) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 5.03(a)(ii) and (iv); and (C) to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Security and Guarantee Documents if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder. Upon request by the Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Agent’s authority to release its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Security and Guarantee Documents pursuant to this Section. In each case as specified in this Section, the Agent will, at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Security and Guarantee Documents, or to release such Guarantor from its obligations under the Security and Guarantee Documents, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section; provided that the Borrower shall have delivered to the Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower certifying that any such transaction has been consummated in compliance with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents). Section 8.11. Cash Management Banks and Hedge Banks. No Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank that obtains the benefits of any guarantee or any collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Security and Guarantee Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of any collateral (including the release or impairment of any collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article VIII to the contrary, the Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, any Secured Cash Management Obligations or Secured Hedging Obligations unless the Agent has received written notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Agent may request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank, as the case may be. Section 8.12. Recovery of Erroneous Payments. (a) If the Administrative Agent notifies a Lender, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender (any such Lender or other recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds (as set forth in such notice from the Administrative Agent) received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands in writing the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent pending its return or repayment as contemplated below in this Section 8.12 and held in trust for the benefit of the Agent, and such Lender shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter (or such later date 117 [[8006820]]
as the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing), return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon (except to the extent waived in writing by the Administrative Agent) in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. (b) Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in this Agreement or in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part, then) in each such case: (i) (A) it acknowledges and agrees that in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error and mistake shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error and mistake has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and (ii) such Lender shall (and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of the occurrence of any of the circumstances described in immediately preceding clauses (x), (y) and (z)) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.12(b). For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.12(b) shall not have any effect on a Payment Recipient’s obligations pursuant to Section 8.12(a) or on whether or not an Erroneous Payment has been made. (c) Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender hereunder, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender under any Loan Document with respect to any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, against any amount that the Administrative Agent has demanded to be returned under immediately preceding clause (a). (d) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand thereof in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Administrative Agent’s notice to such Lender at any time, then effective immediately (with the consideration therefor being acknowledged by the parties hereto), (i) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Advances (but not its Commitments) with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Advances (but not of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class), the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) (on a cashless basis and such amount calculated at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the 118 [[8006820]]
Administrative Agent in such instance)), and is hereby (together with the Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to the Platform) with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Advances to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (but the failure of such Person to deliver any such Notes shall not affect the effectiveness of the foregoing assignment), (ii) the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to have acquired the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender and (iv) the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall each be deemed to have waived any consents required under this Agreement to any such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and (v) the Administrative Agent will reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Advances subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Advances acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Advance (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). In addition, an Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender (x) shall be reduced by the proceeds of prepayments or repayments of principal and interest, or other distribution in respect of principal and interest, received by the Administrative Agent on or with respect to any such Advances acquired from such Lender pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment (to the extent that any such Advances are then owned by the Administrative Agent) and (y) may, in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, be reduced by any amount specified by the Administrative Agent in writing to the applicable Lender from time to time. (e) The parties hereto agree that (x) irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, in the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights and interests of such Payment Recipient (and, in the case of any Payment Recipient who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, to the rights and interests of such Lender, as the case may be) under the Loan Documents with respect to such amount (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”) (provided that the Loan Parties’ Obligations under the Loan Documents in respect of the Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights shall not be duplicative of such Obligations in respect of Advances that have been assigned to the Administrative Agent under an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment) and (y) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party; provided that this Section 8.12 shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Obligations of the Borrower relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the Obligations that would have been payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by the Administrative Agent; provided, further, that for the avoidance of doubt, immediately preceding clauses (x) and (y) shall not apply to the extent any such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment. (f) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation, any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. 119 [[8006820]]

In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Advances previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent, each Issuing Bank and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Advances and participations in Letters of Credit in accordance with its Ratable Share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under 127 [[8006820]]
applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.11, 2.14 and 9.04 and remain liable under Section 9.04(e) with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph 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 (d) of this Section. (c) Register. The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as ana non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Advances 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 Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. (d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower, any Issuing Bank or the Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Advances owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Borrower, the Agent, the Issuing Banks and 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 or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in 9.01(b) that affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.11, 9.04(f) and 2.14 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.14(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.14(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.18 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.11 or 2.14, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would 128 [[8006820]]
have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.18 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.05 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.15 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 Advances 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 Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. (e) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. Section 9.08. Confidentiality. Each of the Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks agree to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its Related Parties (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential); (b) to the extent required or requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners); (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; provided that such Person shall, to the extent permitted by law, use its commercially reasonable efforts to promptly inform the Borrower of such disclosure and to ensure that such Information is accorded confidential treatment; (d) to any other party hereto; (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder; (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) any actual or prospective party (or its Related Parties) to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the Borrower and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder; (g) on a confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or the Facilities or (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the Facilities; (h) with the consent of the Borrower; (i) in syndication or other marketing materials relating to the Term A Advances, Tranche B Loans, Tranche B2 Loans or Tranche B3 Loans, or (j) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section, or (y) becomes available to the Agent, any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein prohibits any individual from communicating or disclosing information regarding suspected violations of laws, rules, or regulations to a governmental, regulatory, or self-regulatory authority. For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective 129 [[8006820]]
businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries after the Effective Date, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. Section 9.09. Governing Law. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any claims, controversy, dispute or cause of action (whether in contract or tort or otherwise) based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except, as to any other Loan Document, as expressly set forth therein) and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York. Section 9.10. Execution in Counterparts; Electronic Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by email shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in this Agreement shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. Section 9.11. Judgment. (a) If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in Dollars into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Agent could purchase Dollars with such other currency at Citibank’s principal office in London at 11:00 A.M. (London time) on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. (b) If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in a Committed Currency into Dollars, the parties agree to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Agent could purchase such Committed Currency with Dollars at Citibank’s principal office in London at 11:00 A.M. (London time) on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. (c) The obligation of the Borrower in respect of any sum due from it in any currency (the “Primary Currency”) to any Lender or the Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in any other currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be), of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency, such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the applicable Primary Currency with such other currency; if the amount of the applicable Primary Currency so purchased is less than such sum due to such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) in the applicable Primary Currency, the Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) against such loss, and if the amount of the applicable Primary Currency so purchased exceeds such sum due to any Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) in the applicable Primary Currency, such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) agrees to remit to the Borrower such excess. Section 9.12. Jurisdiction, Etc. (a) Jurisdiction. The Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it will not commence any action, litigation or proceeding of any kind or description, whether in 130 [[8006820]]
law or equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against the Agent, any Lender, any Issuing Bank, or any Related Party of the foregoing in any way relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions relating hereto or thereto, in any forum other than the courts of the State of New York sitting in New York County, and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the jurisdiction of such courts and agrees that all claims in respect of any such action, litigation or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in such federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action, litigation or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. (b) Waiver of Venue. The Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. (c) Service of Process. Each party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.02. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable law. Section 9.13. Substitution of Currency. If a change in any Committed Currency occurs pursuant to any applicable law, rule or regulation of any governmental, monetary or multi-national authority, this Agreement (including, without limitation, the definition of the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR or Adjusted Daily Simple SONIA) will be amended to the extent determined by the Agent (acting reasonably and in consultation with the Borrower) to be necessary to reflect the change in currency and to put the Lenders and the Borrower in the same position, so far as possible, that they would have been in if no change in such Committed Currency had occurred. Section 9.14. No Liability of the Issuing Banks. The Borrower assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit with respect to its use of such Letter of Credit. Neither an Issuing Bank nor any of its Related Parties shall be liable or responsible for: (a) the use that may be made of any Letter of Credit or any acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee in connection therewith; (b) the failure to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the applicable Letter of Credit); (c) validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement thereon, even if such documents should prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; (d) payment by such Issuing Bank against presentation of documents that do not comply with the terms of a Letter of Credit, including failure of any documents to bear any reference or adequate reference to the Letter of Credit; or (e) any other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to make payment under any Letter of Credit, except that the Borrower shall have a claim against such Issuing Bank, and such Issuing Bank shall be liable to the Borrower, to the extent of any direct, but not consequential, damages suffered by the Borrower that the Borrower proves were caused by such Issuing Bank’s willful misconduct or gross negligence when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, such Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary; provided that nothing herein shall be deemed to excuse such Issuing Bank if it acts with gross negligence or willful misconduct in accepting such documents. Section 9.15. Patriot Act Notice. Each Lender and the Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and 131 [[8006820]]
address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or the Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act. The Borrower shall provide such information and take such actions as are reasonably requested by the Agent or any Lenders in order to assist the Agent and the Lenders in maintaining compliance with the Patriot Act. Section 9.16. Other Relationships; No Fiduciary Duty. No relationship created hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall in any way affect the ability of the Agent and each Lender to enter into or maintain business relationships with the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof beyond the relationships specifically contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Borrower agrees that in connection with all aspects of the transactions contemplated hereby and any communications in connection therewith, the Borrower, its Subsidiaries and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Agent, the Lenders and their respective Affiliates, on the other hand, will have a business relationship that does not create, by implication or otherwise, any advisory, equitable or fiduciary duties on the part of the Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates, and no such duties will be deemed to have arisen in connection with any such transactions or communications. The Borrower also hereby agrees that none of the Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates have advised and are advising the Borrower as to any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax matters, and that the Borrower is consulting its own advisors concerning such matters to the extent it deems appropriate. Section 9.17. Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in any legal proceeding directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (whether based on contract, tort or any other theory). Each party hereto (a) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any other Person has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other Person would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (b) acknowledges that it and the other parties hereto have been induced to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in the Section. Section 9.18. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Advances or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder. Section 9.19. Effect of Restatement. This Agreement shall, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, supersede the Second Amended & Restated Credit Agreement from and after the Effective Date with respect to the transactions hereunder and with respect to the Facilities and Letters of Credit outstanding under the Second Amended & Restated Credit Agreement as of the Effective Date. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree, however, that (a) this Agreement and all other Loan Documents executed and delivered herewith do not constitute a novation, payment and reborrowing or termination of the Facilities under the Second Amended & Restated Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents as in effect prior to the Effective Date, (b) such obligations are in all respects continuing with only the terms being modified as provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and (c) all references in the other Loan Documents to the Second Amended & Restated Credit Agreement shall be deemed to refer without further amendment to this Agreement. Section 9.20. Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any parties hereto or to any other Loan Document, such parties hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such 132 [[8006820]]
liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by: (a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder that may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and (b) the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable: (i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability; (ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or (iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority. Section 9.21. Certain ERISA Matters. (a) Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true: (i) such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise) of one or more Benefit Plans with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Advances, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments or this Agreement, (ii) the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Advances, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (iii) (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Advances, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Advances, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Advances, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, or 133 [[8006820]]
(iv) such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender. (b) In addition, unless either (1) sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or (2) a Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that the Administrative Agent is not a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Advances, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto). Section 9.22. Acknowledgment Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Hedge Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States): (a) In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support. (b) As used in this Section 9.22, the following terms have the following meanings: “BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party. “Covered Entity” means any of the following: (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); 134 [[8006820]]
(ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b). “Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable. “QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).” 135 [[8006820]]
