1.7 Rounding.  Any financial ratios required to be satisfied in order for a specific action to be permitted under this Agreement shall be calculated by dividing the appropriate component by the other component, carrying the result to one place more than the number of places by which such ratio is expressed herein and rounding the result up or down to the nearest number (with a rounding-up if there is no nearest number).

1.8 Currency Equivalents Generally.

(a) For purposes of determining compliance with Sections 6.2, 6.3 and 6.7 with respect to any amount of Indebtedness or Investment in a currency other than US Dollars, no Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of changes in rates of currency exchange occurring after the time such Indebtedness or Investment is incurred, made or acquired (so long as such Indebtedness or Investment, at the time incurred, made or acquired, was permitted hereunder).

(b) For purposes of determining the Secured Leverage Ratio and the Total Leverage Ratio, amounts denominated in a currency other than US Dollars will be converted to US Dollars at the currency exchange rates used in preparing Parent’s financial statements corresponding to the Test Period with respect to the applicable date of determination and will, in the case of Indebtedness, reflect the currency translation effects, determined in accordance with GAAP, of Hedge Agreements permitted hereunder for currency exchange risks with respect to the applicable currency in effect on the date of determination of the US Dollar Equivalent of such Indebtedness.

1.9 Exchange Rates; Currency Equivalents.

(a) The Revolver Administrative Agent or the applicable Issuing Bank, as applicable, shall determine the Spot Rates as of each Revaluation Date to be used for calculating US Dollar Equivalent amounts of Borrowings and Letters of Credit denominated in Alternative Currencies. Such Spot Rates shall become effective as of such Revaluation Date and shall be the Spot Rates employed in converting any amounts between the applicable currencies until the next Revaluation Date to occur. Except for purposes of financial statements delivered by Loan Parties hereunder or calculating financial covenants hereunder or except as otherwise provided herein, the applicable amount of any currency (other than US Dollars) for purposes of the Loan Documents shall be such US Dollar Equivalent amount as so determined by the Revolver Administrative Agent or the applicable Issuing Bank, as applicable.

(b) Wherever in this Agreement in connection with a Borrowing, conversion, continuation or prepayment of a Eurodollar Loan or the issuance, amendment or extension of a Letter of Credit, an amount, such as a required minimum or multiple amount, is expressed in US Dollars, but such Borrowing, Eurodollar Loan or Letter of Credit is denominated in an Alternative Currency, such amount shall be the relevant Alternative Currency Equivalent of such US Dollar amount (rounded to the nearest unit of such Alternative Currency, with 0.5 of a unit being rounded upward), as determined by the Revolver Administrative Agent or the applicable Issuing Bank, as the case may be.

1.10 Additional Alternative Currencies.

(a) The Borrowers may from time to time request that Eurodollar Loans be made and/or Letters of Credit be issued in a currency other than those specifically listed in the definition of “Alternative Currency;” provided that such requested currency is a lawful currency (other than US Dollars) that is readily available and freely transferable and convertible into US Dollars. In the case of any such request with respect to the making of Eurodollar Loans, such

63

 

US-DOCS\73723759.13


 

request shall be subject to the approval of the Revolver Administrative Agent and all Revolving Credit Lenders; and in the case of any such request with respect to the issuance of Letters of Credit, such request shall be subject to the approval of the Revolver Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank.

(b) Any such request shall be made to the Revolver Administrative Agent not later than 8:00 a.m., fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the date of the desired Borrowing or Letter of Credit issuance (or such other time or date as may be agreed by the Revolver Administrative Agent and, in the case of any such request pertaining to Letters of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank, in its or their sole discretion). In the case of any such request pertaining to Eurodollar Loans, the Revolver Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender thereof; and in the case of any such request pertaining to Letters of Credit, the Revolver Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Issuing Banks thereof. Each Revolving Credit Lender (in the case of any such request pertaining to Eurodollar Loans) or the Issuing Banks (in the case of a request pertaining to Letters of Credit) shall notify the Revolver Administrative Agent, not later than 8:00 a.m., ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such request whether it consents, in its sole discretion, to the making of Eurodollar Loans or the issuance of Letters of Credit, as the case may be, in such requested currency.

(c) Any failure by a Revolving Credit Lender or an Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to respond to such request within the time period specified in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a refusal by such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to permit Eurodollar Loans to be made or to issue Letters of Credit in such requested currency. If the Revolver Administrative Agent and all the Revolving Credit Lenders consent to making Eurodollar Loans in such requested currency, the Revolver Administrative Agent shall so notify the Revolver Borrowers and such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be an Alternative Currency hereunder for purposes of any Revolver Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans; and if the Revolver Administrative Agent and an Issuing Bank consent to the issuance of Letters of Credit in such requested currency, the Revolver Administrative Agent shall so notify the Revolver Borrowers and such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be an Alternative Currency hereunder for purposes of any Letter of Credit issuances by such Issuing Bank. If the Revolver Administrative Agent shall fail to obtain consent to any request for an additional currency under this Section 1.10, the Revolver Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Revolver Borrowers.

(d) If, after the designation by the Revolving Credit Lenders of any currency as an Alternative Currency, any change in currency controls or exchange regulations or any change in the national or international financial, political or economic conditions are imposed in the country in which such currency is issued, result in, in the reasonable opinion of the Required Revolving Lenders (in the case of any Revolving Credit Loans to be denominated in an Alternative Currency) or any Issuing Bank (in the case of any Letter of Credit to be denominated in an Alternative Currency), (i) such currency no longer being readily available, freely transferable and convertible into US Dollars, (ii) a US Dollar Equivalent is no longer readily calculable with respect to such currency, (iii) providing such currency is impracticable for the Revolving Credit Lenders or (iv) no longer a currency in which the Required Revolving Lenders are willing to make such extensions of credit hereunder (each of (i), (ii), (iii), and (iv) a

64

 

US-DOCS\73723759.13


 

Disqualifying Event”), then the Revolver Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Revolving Credit Lenders and the Revolver Borrowers, and such country’s currency shall no longer be an Alternative Currency until such time as the Disqualifying Event(s) no longer exist. Within, five (5) Business Days after receipt of such notice from the Revolver Administrative Agent, the Revolver Borrowers shall repay all Revolving Credit Loans in such currency to which the Disqualifying Event applies or convert such Revolving Credit Loans into the US Dollar Equivalent of Revolving Credit Loans in US Dollars, subject to the other terms contained herein.

1.11 Change of Currency.

(a) Each obligation of the Borrowers to make a payment denominated in the national currency unit of any member state of the European Union that adopts the Euro as its lawful currency after the date hereof shall be redenominated into Euro at the time of such adoption (in accordance with the EMU Legislation). If, in relation to the currency of any such member state, the basis of accrual of interest expressed in this Agreement in respect of that currency shall be inconsistent with any convention or practice in the London interbank market for the basis of accrual of interest in respect of the Euro, such expressed basis shall be replaced by such convention or practice with effect from the date on which such member state adopts the Euro as its lawful currency; provided that if any Borrowing in the currency of such member state is outstanding immediately prior to such date, such replacement shall take effect, with respect to such Borrowing, at the end of the then current Interest Period.

(b) Each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agents may from time to time specify to be appropriate to reflect the adoption of the Euro by any member state of the European Union and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to the Euro.

(c) Each provision of this Agreement also shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agents may from time to time specify to be appropriate to reflect a change in currency of any other country and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to the change in currency.

2.2 Procedure for Senior Lien Term Loan Borrowing.  The Term Loan Borrowers shall deliver to the Term Administrative Agent a Borrowing Request, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, one Business Day before the anticipated Closing Date requesting that the Senior Lien Term Loan Lenders make the Senior Lien Term Loans on the Closing Date.  The Borrowing Request must specify (i) the principal amount of the Senior Lien Term Loans to be borrowed, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the Type of Senior Lien Term Loans to be borrowed, (iv) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing1, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period” and (v) the location and number of the applicable Term Loan Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.8.  Upon receipt of such Borrowing Request, the Term Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Senior Lien Term Loan Lender thereof.  Not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time (or, if later, promptly following the satisfaction of the conditions precedent to the initial extension of credit hereunder set forth in Section 4.1), on the Closing Date each Senior Lien Term Loan Lender shall make available to the Term Administrative Agent an amount in immediately available funds equal to the Senior Lien Term Loans to be made by such Lender.  The Term Administrative Agent shall make available to the Term Loan Borrowers the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Term Administrative Agent by the Senior Lien Term Loan Lenders, in like funds as received by the Term Administrative Agent.

2.3 Repayment of Senior Lien Term Loans.  The Senior Lien Term Loan of each Senior Lien Term Loan Lender shall be repaid in consecutive quarterly installments on the last day of each fiscal quarter of Parent or, if such date is not a Business Day, on the last Business Day of such fiscal quarter ending nearest to such date (each, a “Senior Lien Term Loan Installment Date”), commencing on June 30, 2017, each of which shall be in an amount equal to such Lender’s Senior Lien Term Loan Percentage multiplied by the amount equal to 1.875% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan Facility on the Closing Date; provided, that the final principal repayment installment of the Senior Lien Term Loans repaid on the Senior Lien Term Loan Maturity Date shall be, in any event, in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of all Senior Lien Term Loans outstanding on such date.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Revolving Credit Lender severally agrees to make revolving credit loans (each, a “Revolving Credit Loan”) to the Revolver Borrowers from time to time during the Availability Period in US Dollars or one or more Alternative Currencies (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld) in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding that will not (after giving effect to any concurrent use of the proceeds thereof to repay LC Disbursements) result in (i) such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment or (ii) the Total Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding the total Revolving Credit Commitments.  Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Revolver Borrowers may borrow, prepay and reborrow Revolving Credit Loans during the Availability Period.   Revolving Credit Loans may be ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans, as further provided herein.

made to a Revolver Borrower shall be the sole and several liability of that Borrower and the other Borrowers shall not be co-obligors or have any joint liability for such Loans (except to the extent that any liability is derived by the other Borrowers as Guarantors of the Obligations of that Revolver Borrower).

2.5 Loans and Borrowings.  (a) Each Revolving Credit Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Revolving Credit Loans made by the Revolving Credit Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitments.  The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder.

(b) Subject to Section 2.16, (i) each Term Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of (A) ABR Loans or (B) Eurodollar Loans as the applicable Term Loan Borrowers may request in accordance herewith and (ii) each Revolving Credit Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of (A) ABR Loans or (B) Eurodollar Loans as the applicable Revolver Borrowers may request in accordance herewith; provided, that each Revolving Credit Borrowing denominated in an Alternative Currency shall be comprised entirely of Eurodollar Loans.  Each Lender at its option may make any Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided, that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the applicable Lender to make such Loan and the obligation of the applicable Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(c) At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than $1,000,000.  At the time that each ABR Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $500,000; provided that a Revolving Credit Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the Revolving Credit Commitments under the applicable Revolving Credit Facility or that is required to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.7(e).  Borrowings of more than one Type and Class may be outstanding at the same time; provided, that there shall not, at any time, be more than a total of (x) five Eurodollar Borrowings with respect to the Term Loan Facility outstanding and (y) six Eurodollar Borrowings with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility outstanding.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the applicable Borrowers shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the applicable Maturity Date for such Borrowing.

2.6 Requests for Revolving Credit Borrowing. To request a Revolving Credit Borrowing, the Revolver Borrowers shall notify the Revolver Administrative Agent of such request by email (a) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing denominated in US Dollars, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, three (3) Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing (other than Eurodollar Borrowings to be incurred on the Closing Date which notice may be given one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing Date) (b) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing

67

 

US-DOCS\73723759.13

(i) the aggregate amount and currency of the requested Borrowing;

(ii) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) in the case of a Borrowing denominated in US Dollars, whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing;

(iv) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”; and

(v) the location and number of the account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.8.

If no election as to the Type of Revolving Credit Borrowing is specified, then the requested Revolving Credit Borrowing shall be (A) in the case of a Borrowing denominated in US Dollars, an ABR Borrowing or (B) in the case of a Borrowing denominated in an Alternative Currency, a Eurodollar Borrowing.  If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurodollar Revolving Credit Borrowing, then the Revolver Borrowers shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.  If no currency is specified with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing, then the applicable Revolver Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing in US Dollars.  If a Borrowing Request fails to specify the identity of the applicable Revolver Borrower, then the Loans so requested shall be made to the Revolver Borrower submitting such Borrowing Request; provided, however, that in the case of a failure to identify the applicable Borrower in the case of a request for a continuation of Revolving Credit Loans, such Loans shall be continued as Loans made to the Borrower to which such Loans were initially made. No Revolving Credit Loan may be converted into or continued as a Loan denominated in a different currency, but instead must be prepaid in the original currency of such Loan and reborrowed in the other currency.  Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the Revolver Administrative Agent shall advise each Revolving Credit Lender of the relevant Facility or Facilities of the details thereof and of the amount of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Revolving Credit Borrowing.

(d) Participations.  By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of any Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the applicable Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Revolving Credit Lender, and each Revolving Credit Lender hereby acquires from the applicable Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit.  In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Credit Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Revolver Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement with respect to a Letter of Credit made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Revolver Borrowers on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Revolver Borrowers for any reason in respect thereof.  Each Revolving Credit Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit, and such Revolving Credit Lender’s obligations under Section 2.7(e) are absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender may have against the Issuing Bank, the Revolver Borrowers or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a

(e) Reimbursement.  If any Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Revolver Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Revolver Administrative Agent an amount and currency equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the first Business Day immediately following the day that such Revolver Borrower receives notice that such LC Disbursement is made (or, if such Revolver Borrower receives such notice after 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the second Business Day immediately following the day that such Revolver Borrower receives such notice); provided that (if the conditions of Section 4.2 are satisfied) such Revolver Borrower shall have the absolute and unconditional right to require that such payment be financed with an ABR Revolving Credit Borrowing (in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in US Dollars) or a Eurodollar Revolving Credit Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month (in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency), in each case, by such Revolver Borrower under the applicable Revolving Credit Facility under which the applicable Letter of Credit was issued, in each case in an equivalent amount and currency (subject to the requirements of set forth in Sections 2.4 through 2.6, as applicable) and, to the extent so financed, such Revolver Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Revolving Credit Borrowing.  If a Revolver Borrower fails to make such payment when due, or finance such payment in accordance with the proviso to the preceding sentence, the applicable Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Revolver Administrative Agent of the applicable LC Disbursement and the Revolver Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from such Revolver Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof.  Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the Revolver Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the applicable Revolving Credit Facility of the payment then due from such Revolver Borrower by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Revolver Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date such notice is received (or, if such Revolving Credit Lender shall have received such notice later than 12:00 noon, New York City time on such day, not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the immediately following Business Day), and the Revolver Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders.  Promptly following receipt by the Revolver Administrative Agent of any payment from a Revolver Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Revolver Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Revolving Credit Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear.  Any payment made by a Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse any Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Revolving Credit Loans or Eurodollar Revolving Credit Loans as contemplated above) shall not constitute a

71

Loan and shall not relieve the applicable Revolver Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.  If any Revolving Credit Lender shall not have made its Applicable Percentage of an LC Disbursement available to the Revolver Administrative Agent as provided above, such Revolving Credit Lender and the applicable Revolver Borrower severally agree to pay interest on such amount, for each day from and including the date such amount is required to be paid in accordance with this Section 2.7(e)  to but excluding the date such amount is paid, to the Revolver Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank at (i) in the case of such Revolver Borrower, a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to ABR Revolving Credit Loans and (ii) in the case of such Revolving Credit Lender, (A) in the case of Letters of Credit denominated in US Dollars, for the first such day, the Federal Funds Effective Rate, and for each day thereafter, the Alternate Base Rate and (B) in the case of Letters of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, the Eurodollar Rate with an Interest Period of one month.

(f) Obligations Absolute.  Each Revolver Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, several (and not joint), and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the applicable Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, (iv) any adverse change in the exchange rate or in the availability of an Alternative Currency to any Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries or in the relevant currency markets generally or (v) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, such Revolver Borrower’s obligations hereunder.  None of the Agents, the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, or any of their respective Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the applicable Issuing Bank; provided that the provisions of this Section 2.7(f) shall not be construed to excuse the applicable Issuing Bank from liability to the applicable Revolver Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to indirect, consequential, special and punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by such Revolver Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof.  The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of any Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the applicable Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination.  In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality

thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(g) Disbursement Procedures.  Each Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank.  Each Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Revolver Administrative Agent and the applicable Revolver Borrower by telephone (confirmed by email) of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve such Revolver Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(h) Interim Interest.  If any Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the applicable Revolver Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that such Revolver Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Credit Loans (in the case of Letters of Credit denominated in US Dollars) and the Eurodollar Rate with an Interest Period of one month (in the case of Letters of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency); provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.15(b) shall apply.  Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

(i) Replacement of Issuing Bank.  An Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Revolver Borrowers, the Revolver Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank (provided that no consent of the replaced Issuing Bank will be required if it has no Letters of Credit or Reimbursement Obligations with respect thereto outstanding) and the successor Issuing Bank.  The Revolver Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Credit Lenders of any such replacement of such Issuing Bank.  At the time any such replacement shall become effective, each Revolver Borrower, severally, shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank with respect to such Revolver Borrower pursuant to Section 2.13(b).  From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require.  After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement

73

 

US-DOCS\73723759.13


 

with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to renew existing Letters of Credit or issue additional Letters of Credit.

(j) Cash Collateralization.  If any Event of Default under Section 7.1(f) with respect to Parent or any Borrower shall occur and be continuing or if the Loans have been accelerated pursuant to Section 7 as a result of any Event of Default, on the Business Day that any Revolver Borrower receives notice from the Revolver Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure), in each case, demanding (which demand, in the case of any Event of Default under Section 7.1(f) with respect to Parent or any Borrower, shall be deemed to have been given automatically) the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, such Revolver Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Revolver Administrative Agent, in the name of the Revolver Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to 103% of the applicable LC Exposure with respect to such Revolver Borrower as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon.  Such deposit shall be held by the Revolver Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Letter of Credit obligations of such Revolver Borrower under this Agreement.  The Revolver Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account.  Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made in Cash Equivalents at the option and reasonable discretion of the Revolver Administrative Agent and at such Revolver Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest.  Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account.  Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Revolver Administrative Agent to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of such Revolver Borrower for the applicable LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of such Revolver Borrower under this Agreement.  If a Revolver Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default specified above, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to such Revolver Borrower within two (2) Business Days after such Event of Default has been cured or waived (unless the Commitments have been terminated and the Obligations have been accelerated, in each case in accordance with Section 7).

(k) Provisions Related to Extended Revolving Credit Commitments.  If the Maturity Date in respect of any tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments occurs prior to the expiration of any Letter of Credit, then (i) if one or more other tranches of Revolving Credit Commitments in respect of which the Maturity Date shall not have occurred are then in effect and such Letter of Credit would otherwise be available under such tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments, such Letters of Credit shall automatically be deemed to have been issued (including for purposes of the obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders to purchase participations therein and to make payments in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.7(d) and (e)) under (and ratably participated in by Lenders pursuant to) the Revolving Credit Commitments in respect of such non-maturing tranches up to an aggregate amount not to exceed the aggregate

74

 

US-DOCS\73723759.13


 

amount of the unutilized Revolving Credit Commitments thereunder at such time (it being understood that no partial face amount of any Letter of Credit may be so reallocated) and (ii) to the extent not reallocated pursuant to immediately preceding clause (i), the applicable Revolver Borrower shall cash collateralize any such Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 2.7(j).  For the avoidance of doubt, commencing with the Maturity Date of any tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments, the sublimit for Letters of Credit under any tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments that has not so then matured shall be as agreed in the relevant Permitted Amendment with the applicable Revolving Credit Lenders.

2.8 Funding of Borrowings.  (a) Except as expressly set forth in Section 2.2, each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds in the applicable currency of such Loan by 12:00 noon, New York City time, to the account of the applicable Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders.  The applicable Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the applicable Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of such Borrower maintained with the applicable Administrative Agent in New York City or such other account reasonably approved by the applicable Administrative Agent, in each case, as is designated by such Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that ABR Revolving Credit Loans or Eurodollar Revolving Credit Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.7(e) shall be remitted by the Revolver Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank.

(b) Unless the applicable Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the applicable Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the applicable Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section 2.8 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount.  In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the Borrowing available to the applicable Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and such Borrower severally agree to pay to the applicable Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to such Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the applicable Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the Overnight Rate, or (ii) in the case of such Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans of the applicable Class.  If such Lender pays such amount to the applicable Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

(c) Each of the Revolver Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Revolving Credit Lender at its option may make any extension of credit hereunder or otherwise perform its obligations hereunder through any Lending Office (each, a “Designated Lender”); provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of any Revolver Borrower to repay any such extension of credit in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  Any Designated Lender shall be considered a Revolving Credit Lender; provided that in the case of an Affiliate or branch of a Revolving Credit Lender, such provisions that would be applicable with respect to extensions of credit actually provided by such Affiliate or

75

 

US-DOCS\73723759.13


 

branch of such Revolving Credit Lender shall apply to such Affiliate or branch of such Revolving Credit Lender to the same extent as such Revolving Credit Lender; provided further that for the purposes only of voting in connection with any Loan Document, any participation by any Designated Lender in any outstanding extension of credit shall be deemed a participation of such Revolving Credit Lender.

2.9 Interest Elections.  (a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request.  Thereafter, the applicable Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section 2.9.  The Borrowers may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.9, (i) the Borrowers will not be permitted to change the currency of any Borrowing and (ii) Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency will not be permitted to be converted into ABR Revolving Credit Borrowings.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.9, the applicable Borrower shall notify the applicable Administrative Agent of such election by email by (i) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days (or five Business Days in the case of a Special Notice Currency) before the proposed effective date of the proposed election (or such later time and/or date as may be agreed by the applicable Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) or (ii) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the proposed effective date of the proposed election (or such later time and/or date as may be agreed by the applicable Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion).  Each such email Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or facsimile to the applicable Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request signed by the applicable Borrower.

(c) Each email and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.5:

(i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and

76

 

US-DOCS\73723759.13


 

(iv)  if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

(d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the applicable Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e) If the applicable Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period, such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing; provided, however, that in the case of a failure to timely request a continuation of Eurodollar Borrowing denominated in an Alternative Currency, such Loans shall be continued as Eurodollar Loans in their original currency with an Interest Period of one month.  Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the applicable Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrowers, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (x) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (y) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.  In addition to the foregoing, during the existence of an Event of Default, no Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as Eurodollar Loans (whether in US Dollars or any Alternative Currency) without the consent of the Required Revolving Lenders or the Required Term Lenders, as applicable, and the Required Revolving Lenders may demand that any or all of the then outstanding Eurodollar Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency be prepaid, or redenominated into US Dollars in the amount of the US Dollar Equivalent thereof, on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto.

2.10 Termination and Reduction of Commitments.  (a) Unless previously terminated, the Revolving Credit Commitments shall terminate on the applicable Revolving Credit Maturity Date.  The Senior Lien Term Loan Commitments shall automatically terminate upon the making of the Senior Lien Term Loans on the Closing Date and, in any event, not later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Closing Date.  The commitments of each Issuing Bank to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letters of Credit shall automatically terminate on the earliest to occur of (i) the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments, (ii) the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the latest Revolving Credit Maturity Date and (iii) such Issuing Bank ceasing to be a Revolving Credit Lender hereunder.

(b) The Revolver Borrowers may at any time terminate, without premium or penalty, or from time to time reduce, the Revolving Credit Commitments under any Revolving Credit Facility (or under any tranche of the Revolving Credit Commitments); provided that (i) each reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than $1,000,000 and (ii) in any event, the Revolver Borrowers

77

 

US-DOCS\73723759.13


 

shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.12, the Total Revolving Credit Exposure under any tranche would exceed the total Revolving Credit Commitments under such tranche.

(c) The Revolver Borrowers shall notify the Revolver Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments under any Revolving Credit Facility (or any tranche thereof) pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section at least three (3) Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof.  Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Revolver Administrative Agent shall advise the applicable Revolving Credit Lenders of the contents thereof.  Each notice delivered by the Revolver Borrowers pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments delivered by the Revolver Borrowers may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or any other financing, sale or other transaction.  Any termination or reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be permanent (but subject to any increase pursuant to Section 2.23).  Each reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments under any Revolving Credit Facility (other than any such reduction resulting from the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Lender as provided in Section 2.21) shall be made ratably among the Revolving Credit Lenders holding Revolving Credit Commitments under such Revolving Credit Facility.

2.11 Repayment of Revolving Credit Loans; Evidence of Debt.  (a) Each Revolver Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Revolver Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Credit Loan of such Lender made to such Revolver Borrower on the applicable Revolving Credit Maturity Date.

(b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of each Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder

(c) The applicable Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type thereof and, if applicable, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the applicable Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section 2.11 shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided, that the failure of any Lender or the applicable Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

78

 

US-DOCS\73723759.13


 

(e) Any Lender may request through the applicable Administrative Agent that Loans made by it to a Borrower be evidenced by a promissory note.  In such event, such Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender (or if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in the form of Exhibit G-1 or G-2, as applicable.  Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.4) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee named therein (and its registered assigns).

2.12 Prepayment of Loans.  (a) Each Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing made by it in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (but subject to Sections 2.12(e) and 2.18), subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section 2.12.

(b) Prior to any optional or mandatory prepayment of Borrowings hereunder, the applicable Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid and shall specify such selection in the notice of such prepayment pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 2.12.  Each optional or mandatory prepayment of Term Loans shall be applied ratably to the Term Loans (based on the respective outstanding principal amounts thereof unless, in the case of Extended Term Loans, Incremental Term Loans or Replacement Term Loans, the applicable Permitted Amendment specifies a less favorable treatment); provided, that prepayments of Term Loans made with the proceeds of any Replacement Term Loans and Permitted Term Loan Refinancing Indebtedness shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.14(d).  Prepayments of Term Loans shall be applied to the remaining scheduled installments as follows:

(i) any mandatory prepayments of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.14 shall be applied to the remaining scheduled principal installments (a) in the case of the Senior Lien Term Loans, in direct order of maturity or as otherwise directed by the Term Loan Borrowers and (b) in the case of any other Term Loans, in the order specified in the applicable Permitted Amendment, and

(ii)  any optional prepayments of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.12(a) shall be applied to the remaining scheduled installments thereof as directed by a Term Loan Borrower (or, if no such direction is given, in direct order of maturity thereof).

(c) The applicable Borrower shall notify the applicable Administrative Agent by email of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days (or five Business Days in the case of a Special Notice Currency) before the date of prepayment (or such later time and/or date as may be agreed by the applicable Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion), or (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, one Business Day before the date of prepayment (or such later time and/or date as may be agreed by the applicable Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion).  Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided,

79

 

US-DOCS\73723759.13


 

that any notice of prepayment may be conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or any other financing, Disposition, sale or other transaction.  Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the applicable Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof.  Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.5.  Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.15.  Each repayment of a Borrowing (x) in the case of a Revolving Credit Facility, shall be applied to the Loans included in the repaid Borrowing such that each Revolving Credit Lender holding Loans included in such repaid Borrowing receives its ratable share of such repayment (based upon the respective Revolving Credit Exposures of the Revolving Credit Lenders holding Loans included in such repaid Borrowing at the time of such repayment) and (y) in all other cases, shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the repaid Borrowing.  In the event the applicable Borrower fails to specify the Borrowings to which any such voluntary prepayment shall be applied, such prepayment shall be applied as follows:

(i) first, to repay outstanding Revolving Credit Borrowings to the full extent thereof (ratably among Revolving Credit Facilities); and

(ii) second, to prepay the Term Borrowings ratably in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section 2.12 (unless, with respect to a Class of Term Loans, the applicable Permitted Amendment specifies a less favorable treatment).

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement (including the penultimate sentence of Section 2.12(c) or Section 2.20(c)) or any other Loan Document, the Purchasing Borrower Parties shall have the right at any time and from time to time to purchase Term Loans by way of assignment in accordance with Section 9.4(g), including pursuant to a Dutch Auction in accordance with Section 2.12(f).

(e) In the event that any Term Loan Borrower (i) repays, prepays, purchases, buys back, refinances, substitutes or replaces any Senior Lien Term Loans (other than as a result of a mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 2.14(b) or Section 2.14(c) or a repayment pursuant to Section 2.3), including in connection with a Repricing Event or (ii) effects any amendment of this Agreement resulting in a Repricing Event, such Term Loan Borrower shall pay to the Term Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each of the applicable Senior Lien Term Loan Lenders (x) in the case of clause (i), an amount equal to the Applicable Prepayment Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Lien Term Loans so being repaid, prepaid, purchased, bought back, refinanced, substituted or replaced and (y) in the case of clause (ii), an amount equal to the Applicable Prepayment Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Senior Lien Term Loans that are the subject of such Repricing Event and outstanding immediately prior to such amendment.

US-DOCS\73723759.13


 

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.12 or any other provision of this Agreement and without otherwise limiting the rights in respect of prepayments of the Term Loans, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any Purchasing Borrower Party may repurchase outstanding Term Loans in negotiated open market purchases pursuant to Section 9.4(g) or pursuant to this Section 2.12(f) on the following basis:

(i) Any Purchasing Borrower Party may conduct one or more auctions (each, an “Auction”) to repurchase all or any portion of the Term Loans of a Class (the “Subject Class”) made to it by providing written notice to the Term Administrative Agent (for distribution to the Lenders) of the Term Loans that will be the subject of the Auction (an “Auction Notice”).  Each Auction Notice shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to the Term Administrative Agent and shall contain (x) the total cash value of the bid, in a minimum amount of $5.0 million with minimum increments of $1.0 million (the “Auction Amount”), and (y) the discount to par, which shall be a range (the “Discount Range”) of percentages of the par principal amount of the Term Loans at issue that represents the range of purchase prices that could be paid in the Auction;

(ii) In connection with any Auction, each Term Loan Lender may, in its sole discretion, participate in such Auction and may provide the Term Administrative Agent with a notice of participation (the “Return Bid”), which shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to the Term Administrative Agent and shall specify (x) a price discounted to par that must be expressed as a price (the “Reply Discount Price”), which must be within the Discount Range, and (y) a principal amount of Term Loans which must be in increments of $1.0 million or in an amount equal to the Term Loan Lender’s entire remaining amount of such Loans (the “Reply Amount”).  Term Loan Lenders may only submit one Return Bid per Auction.  In addition to the Return Bid, the participating Term Loan Lender must execute and deliver, to be held in escrow by the Term Administrative Agent, an Assignment and Assumption in a form reasonably acceptable to the Term Administrative Agent;

(iii) Based on the Reply Discount Prices and Reply Amounts received by the Term Administrative Agent, the Term Administrative Agent, in consultation with the applicable Term Loan Borrower, will determine the applicable discount (the “Applicable Discount”) for the Auction, which will be the lowest Reply Discount Price for which the applicable Purchasing Borrower Party can complete the Auction at the Auction Amount; provided, that, in the event that the Reply Amounts are insufficient to allow such Purchasing Borrower Party to complete a purchase of the entire Auction Amount (any such Auction, a “Failed Auction”), such Purchasing Borrower Party shall either, at its election, (x) withdraw the Auction or (y) complete the Auction at an Applicable Discount equal to the highest Reply Discount Price.  Such Purchasing Borrower Party shall purchase Term Loans (or the respective portions thereof) from each Term Loan Lender with a Reply Discount Price that is equal to or less than the Applicable Discount

81

 

US-DOCS\73723759.13


 

(“Qualifying Bids”) at the Applicable Discount; provided, further, that if the aggregate proceeds required to purchase all Term Loans subject to Qualifying Bids would exceed the Auction Amount for such Auction, the applicable Term Loan Borrower shall purchase such Term Loans at the Applicable Discount ratably based on the principal amounts of such Qualifying Bids (subject to rounding requirements specified by the Term Administrative Agent).  Each participating Term Loan Lender will receive notice of a Qualifying Bid as soon as reasonably practicable but in no case later than five Business Days from the date the Return Bid was due;

(iv) Once initiated by an Auction Notice, no Purchasing Borrower Party may withdraw an Auction without the consent of the Term Administrative Agent other than a Failed Auction.  Furthermore, in connection with any Auction, upon submission by a Term Loan Lender of a Qualifying Bid, such Lender (each, a “Qualifying Lender”) will be obligated to sell the entirety or its allocable portion of the Reply Amount, as the case may be, at the Applicable Discount.  Each purchase of Term Loans in an Auction shall be consummated pursuant to procedures (including as to response deadlines, rounding amounts, type and Interest Period of accepted Term Loans, and calculation of the Applicable Discount referred to above) established by the Term Administrative Agent and agreed to by the applicable Term Loan Borrower; and

(v) The repurchases by any Purchasing Borrower Party of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.12(f) shall be subject to the following conditions:  (A) the Auction is open to all Term Loan Lenders of the Subject Class on a pro rata basis, (B) no Event of Default has occurred or is continuing or would result therefrom, (C) the applicable Assignment and Assumption shall include a customary “big boy” representation from each of the Purchasing Borrower Party and the Qualifying Lender (it being agreed that no Purchasing Borrower Party shall be required to make a representation as to absence of MNPI) and (D) any Term Loans repurchased pursuant to this Section 2.12(f) shall be automatically and permanently canceled upon acquisition thereof by the Purchasing Borrower Party.

2.13 Fees.  (a) The Revolver Borrowers agree, on a several and not joint basis, to pay to the Revolver Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender) a commitment fee, which shall accrue at a rate equal to the Revolving Commitment Fee Rate per annum applicable to the Revolving Credit Commitments on the actual daily unused amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Revolving Credit Lender during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the date on which such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment terminates. The foregoing notwithstanding, the applicable lenders may consent to a different commitment fee to be paid pursuant to the terms of any applicable Incremental Facility Amendment, Replacement Facility Amendment or Extension Offer.  Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments terminate, commencing on the last day of June 2017.  All commitment fees shall

82

 

US-DOCS\73723759.13


 

be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).  For purposes of calculating the commitment fee only, the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to be used to the extent of Revolving Credit Loans of such Revolving Credit Lender and the LC Exposure of such Revolving Credit Lender.

(b) The Revolver Borrowers agree, on a several and not joint basis, to pay to the Revolver Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the same Applicable Margin used to determine the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Revolving Credit Loans, on the daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure in respect of Letters of Credit (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure with respect to any Letters of Credit.  The Revolver Borrowers agree, on a several and not joint basis, to pay to each Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate of 0.125% per annum (or such other percentage as may be separately agreed to by the Revolver Borrowers and the applicable Issuing Bank) on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) attributable to the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank on account of such Revolver Borrowers during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure attributable to the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, as well as such Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder.  Accrued participation fees and fronting fees shall be payable on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments terminate, commencing on the last day of June 2017; provided that any such fees accruing after the date on which the Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand.  Any other fees payable to any Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 30 days after written demand therefor.  All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(c) The Borrowers agree, on a several and not joint basis, to pay to each Agent, for its own account, the fees described in each Fee Letter, as applicable.

(d) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid in US Dollars on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the applicable Agent (or to the applicable Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of commitment fees and participation fees, to the Lenders entitled thereto.  Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances (except as otherwise expressly agreed).

2.14 Mandatory Prepayments.  (a) If Indebtedness is incurred by any Group Member (other than Indebtedness permitted under Section 6.2), then on the date of such issuance or incurrence, an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof shall be applied to the prepayment of the Term Loans (together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon) as set forth in Section 2.14(e).  The provisions of this Section 2.14 do not constitute a consent to the incurrence of any Indebtedness by any Group Member.

(b) If on any date any Group Member shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sales or Recovery Events (to the extent such Asset Sales or Recovery Events result in Net Cash Proceeds in excess of $15.0 million in the aggregate in any fiscal year (with only the amount in excess of such annual threshold required to be applied to such prepayment)) in a single transaction or a series of related transactions, then, unless a Reinvestment Notice shall be delivered in respect thereof (other than with respect to any Specified Sale and Leaseback Transaction, in respect of which no Reinvestment Notice shall be permitted) and no later than five Business Days (or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, two Business Days) after the date of receipt by any Group Member of such Net Cash Proceeds, an amount equal to 100% of the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied to the prepayment of the Term Loans (together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon) as set forth in Section 2.14(e); provided, that (i) notwithstanding the foregoing, on each Reinvestment Prepayment Date an amount equal to the Reinvestment Prepayment Amount with respect to the relevant Reinvestment Event shall be applied to the prepayment of the Term Loans (together with accrued interest thereon), (ii) the provisions of this Section 2.14 do not constitute a consent to the consummation of any Disposition not permitted by Section 6.5 and (iii) if at the time that any such prepayment would be required, the applicable Term Loan Borrower is required to, or required to offer to, repurchase or redeem or repay or prepay any other Indebtedness secured on a pari passu basis with the Obligations (other than the Revolving Credit Loans) pursuant to the terms of the documentation governing such Indebtedness with proceeds of such Asset Sale or Recovery Event (such Indebtedness required to be offered to be so repurchased, “Other Applicable Indebtedness”), then such Term Loan Borrower may apply such Net Cash Proceeds on a pro rata basis (determined on the basis of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans and Other Applicable Indebtedness at such time; provided, further, that the portion of such net proceeds allocated to the Other Applicable Indebtedness shall not exceed the amount of such net proceeds required to be allocated to the Other Applicable Indebtedness pursuant to the terms thereof, and the remaining amount, if any, of such net proceeds shall be allocated to the Term Loans in accordance with the terms hereof) to the prepayment of the Term Loans and to the repurchase or repayment of Other Applicable Indebtedness, and the amount of the prepayment of the Term Loans that would have otherwise been required pursuant to this Section 2.14(b) shall be reduced accordingly; provided, further, that to the extent the holders of Other Applicable Indebtedness decline to have such indebtedness repurchased or repaid with such net proceeds, the declined amount of such net proceeds shall promptly (and in any event within five Business Days after the date of such rejection) be applied to prepay the Term Loans in accordance with the terms hereof (to the extent such net proceeds would otherwise have been required to be so applied if such Other Applicable Indebtedness was not then outstanding).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Foreign Asset Sale or Foreign Recovery Event, the applicable Term Loan Borrower may elect to reduce the amount

84

 

US-DOCS\73723759.13


 

of such prepayment by the amount of any Restricted Asset Sale Proceeds or Restricted Recovery Event Proceeds, as the case may be, included in such Net Cash Proceeds; provided, that the applicable Term Loan Borrower shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to repatriate any amounts constituting Restricted Asset Sale Proceeds or Restricted Recovery Event Proceeds pursuant to clause (a) of the respective definition thereof in a manner that does not result in adverse tax consequences of more than a de minimis amount to Parent and its Subsidiaries (as reasonably determined by Parent), such that such amounts would not constitute Restricted Asset Sale Proceeds or Restricted Recovery Event Proceeds, as the case may be, as promptly as practicable following the date of such prepayment.

(c) If, for any Excess Cash Flow Period, there shall be Excess Cash Flow, then, on the relevant Excess Cash Flow Application Date, the Term Loan Borrowers shall apply an amount equal to (i) the ECF Percentage of such Excess Cash Flow minus (ii) the Optional Prepayment Amount (if any) for such Excess Cash Flow Period to the prepayment of the Term Loans (together with accrued interest thereon), as set forth in Section 2.14(e).  Each such prepayment shall be made on a date (an “Excess Cash Flow Application Date”) no later than five Business Days after the earlier of (x) the date on which the financial statements of Parent referred to in Section 5.1(a), for the fiscal year with respect to which such prepayment is to be made, are required to be delivered to the Lenders and (y) the date such financial statements are actually delivered.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Term Loan Borrowers may elect to reduce the amount of such prepayment by an amount equal to the ECF Percentage of Restricted ECF, if any, for such Excess Cash Flow; provided, that the applicable Term Loan Borrower shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to repatriate such applicable percentage of amounts constituting Restricted ECF pursuant to clause (a) of the definition thereof in a manner that does not result in adverse tax consequences (as reasonably determined by Parent), such that such amounts would not constitute Restricted ECF, as promptly as practicable following the Excess Cash Flow Application Date (and upon any such repatriation, shall prepay the Term Loans by the amount thereof in accordance with this Section 2.14(c)).  

(d) The Term Loan Borrowers shall apply, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, all of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Replacement Term Loans and the Net Cash Proceeds of any Permitted Term Loan Refinancing Indebtedness (that is incurred to refinance Term Loans) to the repayment of Term Loans to be repaid from such Net Cash Proceeds on the date such Net Cash Proceeds are received.  Any such prepayment of Term Loans of a Class shall be paid ratably to the holders of such Class and shall be applied to the remaining scheduled amortization installments of the Term Loans of such Class in the order specified in Section 2.12(b)(ii).

(e) Amounts to be applied pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall be applied first to reduce outstanding ABR Loans of the applicable Class.  Any amounts remaining after each such application shall be applied to prepay Eurodollar Loans of such Class; provided, however, that if any Lenders exercise the right to waive a given mandatory prepayment of any Class of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.14(f), then such mandatory prepayment shall be applied on a pro rata basis to the then outstanding Term Loans of the accepting Lenders of such Class being prepaid irrespective of whether such outstanding Term Loans are ABR

85

 

US-DOCS\73723759.13


 

Loans or Eurodollar Loans; provided, further, that the Borrowers may elect (except in the case of a prepayment pursuant to Section 2.14(d)) that the remainder of such prepayments not applied to prepay ABR Loans be deposited in a collateral account pledged to the applicable Administrative Agent to secure the Obligations and applied thereafter to prepay the Eurodollar Loans on the last day of the next expiring Interest Period for Eurodollar Loans; provided, that (A) interest shall continue to accrue thereon at the rate otherwise applicable under this Agreement to the Eurodollar Loan in respect of which such deposit was made, until such amounts are applied to prepay such Eurodollar Loan, and (B) (x) at any time while a Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the applicable Administrative Agent may, and (y) at any time while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, upon written direction from the Required Lenders, the applicable Administrative Agent shall, apply any or all of such amounts to the payment of Eurodollar Loans.

(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.14 to the contrary, any Senior Lien Term Loan Lender (and, to the extent provided in the applicable Permitted Amendment, any other Term Loan Lender) may elect, by notice to the Term Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by hand delivery, facsimile or, in accordance with the second paragraph of Section 9.1, e-mail) at least one Business Day prior to the required prepayment date, to decline all of any mandatory prepayment of its Term Loans pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) of this Section 2.14, in which case the aggregate amount of the prepayment that would have been applied to prepay Term Loans but was so declined may be retained by the Group Members (such declined amounts to the extent retained by the Group Members, the “Declined Proceeds”).

(g) If for any reason, the Total Revolving Credit Exposure exceeds the total Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect (including after giving effect to any reduction in the Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to Section 2.10), the Borrower shall immediately prepay Revolving Credit Loans and/or cash collateralize the Letters of Credit (in accordance with Section 2.7(j)) in an aggregate amount equal to such excess.

2.15 Interest.  (a) Subject to Section 9.17, each Loan shall bear interest at the Reference Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) Following the occurrence and during the continuation of a Specified Event of Default, the applicable Borrowers shall pay interest on overdue amounts hereunder at a rate per annum equal to (the “Default Rate”): (i) in the case of overdue principal of, or interest on, any Loan, 2.00% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 2.15 or (ii) in the case of any other overdue amount, 2.00% plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section 2.15.

(c) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, in the case of Revolving Credit Loans, upon termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments; provided, that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 2.15 shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Revolving Credit Loan that is not made in connection with the termination or permanent reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be

86

 

US-DOCS\73723759.13


 

payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(d) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days (or a 365- or 366-day year, as the case may be).  The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the applicable Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing clauses (a) and (b), and to the extent in compliance with Section 2.23, 2.24 or 2.25, as applicable, Loans made pursuant to an Incremental Facility or Replacement Facility or extended in connection with an Extension Offer shall bear interest at the rate set forth in the applicable Permitted Amendment to the extent a different interest rate is specified therein.

(f) If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of Parent or for any other reason, Parent or the Revolving Credit Lenders determine that (i) the Total Leverage Ratio as calculated by Parent as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (ii) proper calculation of the Total Leverage Ratio would have resulted in higher pricing for such period, each Revolver Borrower shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Revolver Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Revolving Credit Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank, as the case may be, promptly on demand by the Revolver Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to any Revolver Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code, automatically and without further action by the Revolver Administrative Agent, any Revolving Credit Lender or any Issuing Bank), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period.  This paragraph shall not limit the rights of the Revolver Administrative Agent, any Revolving Credit Lender or any Issuing Bank, as the case may be, hereunder.  Each Revolver Borrower’s obligations under this paragraph shall survive the Discharge of Secured Obligations for a period of one year.

2.16 Alternate Rate of Interest.  If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:

(a) the applicable Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period; or

(b) the applicable Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the applicable Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the applicable Borrowers and the Lenders by telephone or facsimile as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the applicable Administrative Agent notifies the applicable Borrowers and the Lenders that the

87

 

US-DOCS\73723759.13


 

circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Revolving Credit Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as, or converted to, an ABR Borrowing.

2.17 Increased Costs.  (a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) subject any Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes or (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;

(ii) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or any Issuing Bank; or

(iii) impose on any Lender or any Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender (or in the case of clause (i) above, to such Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be) of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or in the case of clause (i) above, any Loan) (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the applicable Borrower will pay to such Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered; provided, in each case, that such Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank certifies that it has requested such payments from similarly situated borrowers.

(b) If any Lender or any Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), then from time to time the applicable Borrower will pay to such

88

 

US-DOCS\73723759.13


 

Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction; provided, in each case, that such Agent or such Lender or such Issuing Bank certifies that it has requested such payments from similarly situated borrowers.

(c) A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank setting forth in reasonable detail the matters giving rise to a claim under this Section 2.17 by such Lender or such Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.17 shall be delivered to the Revolver Borrowers and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The applicable Revolver Borrower shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) Business Days after receipt thereof.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.17 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided, that the Revolver Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 2.17 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Revolver Borrowers of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(e) If any Lender reasonably determines that any Requirement of 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 Eurodollar Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Adjusted LIBO Rate, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Revolver Borrowers through the applicable Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Loans or to convert ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the applicable Administrative Agent and the Revolver Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.  Upon receipt of such notice, the applicable Revolver Borrower may at its option revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Loans and shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the applicable Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurodollar Loans of such Lender to ABR Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Loans.  Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the applicable Revolver Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.  Each Lender agrees to designate a different lending office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise cause economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage to such Lender.

89

 

US-DOCS\73723759.13


 

2.18 Break Funding Payments.  In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice is conditional as contemplated by Section 2.12(c) and such condition is not satisfied) or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the applicable Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.21(c), then, in any such event, the applicable Borrowers shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event.  Such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall consist of an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate (determined without regard to the proviso in the definition thereof) that would have been applicable to such Loan for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits of a comparable amount and in the same currency and period from other banks in the eurocurrency market.  A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.18 shall be delivered to the applicable Borrowers and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Absent manifest error in the determination of such amount, the applicable Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten Business Days after receipt thereof.

2.19 Taxes.  (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Requirement of Tax Law.  If the applicable Withholding Agent shall be required (as determined by such Withholding Agent in its good faith discretion) by Requirement of Tax Law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from such payments, then (i) in the case of deduction or withholding for Indemnified Taxes the sum payable shall be increased by the applicable Loan Party as necessary so that after making all required deductions with respect to such Indemnified Taxes (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums with respect to such Indemnified Taxes payable under this Section 2.19(a)) the applicable Agent or Lender or Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) the applicable Withholding Agent shall make or cause to be made such deductions or withholdings and (iii) the applicable Withholding Agent shall pay or cause to be paid the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Requirement of Tax Law.

(b) In addition, the Borrowers shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the applicable Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

90

 

US-DOCS\73723759.13


 

(c) (i) The Borrowers shall indemnify each Agent and each Lender and Issuing Bank, within 30 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.19) payable or paid by such Agent or such Lender or Issuing Bank or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Agent or Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, 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 setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such claim and the amount of any such payment or liability shall be delivered to the applicable Borrowers by a Lender (with a copy to the applicable Administrative Agent) or Issuing Bank or by the applicable Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or Issuing Bank, and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  

(ii) Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, each Lender and each Issuing Bank shall, and does hereby indemnify each Borrower and each Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, against any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities, penalties, interest and expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Agents) incurred by or asserted against such Borrower or such Agent, as applicable, by any Governmental Authority as a result of the failure by such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to deliver, or as a result of the inaccuracy, inadequacy or deficiency of, any documentation required to be delivered by such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to such Borrower or the applicable Agent, as applicable, pursuant to subsection (e) below. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby authorizes each Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to such Agent under this clause (ii). The agreements in this clause (ii) shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of any Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender or an Issuing Bank, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by a Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.19, the Loan Party shall deliver to the applicable Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Administrative Agent.

(e) (i) Any Lender or Issuing Bank 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 applicable Borrowers and the applicable Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the applicable Borrowers or the applicable Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the applicable Borrowers or the applicable Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Lender or Issuing Bank, if reasonably requested by the applicable Borrowers or the applicable

91

 

US-DOCS\73723759.13


 

Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the applicable Borrowers or the applicable Administrative Agent as will enable the applicable Borrowers or the applicable Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender or Issuing Bank is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.19(e)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(F) below) shall not be required if in such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender or Issuing Bank to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender or Issuing Bank.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, with respect to the Obligations of HII, Lux TL Borrower and US TL Borrower:

(A) any Lender or Issuing Bank that is a US Person shall deliver to the applicable Borrowers and the applicable Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the applicable Borrowers or the applicable Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender or Issuing Bank is exempt from US Federal backup withholding tax;

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the applicable Borrowers and the applicable Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the applicable Borrowers or the applicable Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, US 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, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, US Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(2) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-1 to the effect that such

92

 

US-DOCS\73723759.13


 

Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of such 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 “US Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or

(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, a US Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-2 or Exhibit H-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 US Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-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 applicable Borrowers and the applicable Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the applicable Borrowers or the applicable Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in US Federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the applicable Borrowers or the applicable Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) each Lender shall promptly (x) notify Parent and the applicable Agent of any change in circumstances that would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction, and (y) take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the redesignation of its lending office) to avoid any requirement of applicable Laws of any jurisdiction that any Borrower or such Agent make any withholding or deduction for taxes from amounts payable to such Lender.  In furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender agrees that if any form or certification previously delivered by it expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrowers and such Agent of its legal inability to do so;

(E) each of the Borrowers shall promptly deliver to any Agent or any Lender, as such Agent or such Lender shall reasonably request, on or prior to the Closing Date (or such later date on which it first becomes a Borrower), and in a timely fashion thereafter, such documents and forms required by any relevant taxing authorities under the Laws of any jurisdiction, duly executed and

93

 

US-DOCS\73723759.13


 

completed by such Borrower, as are required to be furnished by such Lender or such Agent under such Laws in connection with any payment by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of Taxes or Other Taxes, or otherwise in connection with the Loan Documents, with respect to such jurisdiction; and

(F) if a payment made to a Lender or Issuing Bank under any Loan Document would be subject to US Federal withholding Tax imposed pursuant to FATCA if such Lender or Issuing Bank were to fail to comply with any requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender or Issuing Bank shall deliver to the applicable Borrowers and the applicable Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the applicable Borrowers or the applicable Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by any Requirement of Tax Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the applicable Borrowers or the applicable Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the applicable Borrowers or the applicable Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine whether such Lender or Issuing Bank has or has not complied with such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s obligations under FATCA and to determine the amount (if any) to deduct and withhold from such payment.  To the extent that the relevant documentation provided pursuant to this paragraph is rendered obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect as a result of changes in circumstances with respect to the status of a Lender or Issuing Bank, such Lender or Issuing Bank shall, to the extent permitted by Requirement of Tax Law, deliver to the applicable Borrowers and the applicable Administrative Agent revised or updated documentation sufficient for the applicable Borrowers or the applicable Administrative Agent to confirm as to whether such Lender or Issuing Bank has complied with its obligations under FATCA.  Solely for purposes of this clause (F), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender or Issuing Bank 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 applicable Borrowers and the applicable Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(f) Each Lender and Issuing Bank shall indemnify the applicable Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Taxes imposed by any Governmental Authority that are attributable to such Lender or Issuing Bank (including any Taxes attributable to such Lender or Issuing Bank’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.4(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register) and that are payable or paid by the applicable Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, together with all interest, penalties, reasonable costs and expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, as determined by the applicable Administrative Agent in good faith, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the

94

 

US-DOCS\73723759.13


 

relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender or Issuing Bank by the applicable Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Lender and Issuing Bank hereby authorizes the applicable Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or Issuing Bank under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the applicable Administrative Agent to the Lender or Issuing Bank from any other source against any amount due to the applicable Administrative Agent under this Section 2.19(f).

(g) If any Agent or any Lender or Issuing Bank 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 by a Loan Party or with respect to which a Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.19, it shall pay over an amount equal to such refund to the applicable Loan Party within a reasonable period (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Loan Party under this Section 2.19 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such Agent or such Lender or Issuing Bank and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that such Loan Party, upon the request of such Agent or such Lender or Issuing Bank, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Loan Party pursuant to this Section 2.19(g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Agent or such Lender or Issuing Bank in the event such Agent or such Lender or Issuing Bank is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection, in no event will any Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank be required to pay any amount to any Loan Party pursuant to this subsection the payment of which would place such Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank 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 Section 2.19(g) shall not be construed to require any Agent or any Lender or Issuing Bank to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to any Loan Party or any other Person.

(h) Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.19 shall survive the resignation or replacement of any Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender or Issuing Bank, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

2.20 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs.  (a) Each Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.17, 2.18 or 2.19, or otherwise) prior to the time expressly required hereunder or under such other Loan Document for such payment (or if no such time is expressly required, prior to 1:00 p.m. New York City time), on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set off or counterclaim.  Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the applicable Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon.  All such payments shall be made to the Term

95

 

US-DOCS\73723759.13


 

Administrative Agent at its offices at Eleven Madison Avenue, New York, New York and to the Revolver Administrative Agent at its offices at 245 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10167, except payments to be made directly to an Issuing Bank as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Section 2.17, 2.18, 2.19, 9.3 or pursuant to the Dutch Auction Procedures shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to the Persons specified therein.  The applicable Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient recorded in the Register promptly following receipt thereof.  Except as otherwise provided herein, if any payment under any Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension.  All payments under each Loan Document of principal or interest in respect of any Loan (or of any breakage indemnity in respect of any Loan) shall be made in the currency of such Loan and, except as otherwise set forth in any Loan Document, all other payments under each Loan Document shall be made in US Dollars.  Any Term Loans paid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.

(b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Revolver Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties.

(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of, or interest on, any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and participations in LC Disbursements of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and participations in LC Disbursements; provided, that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by any Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including Sections 2.21(b) or (c), 2.23, 2.24, 2.25 and 9.4(g) or pursuant to the terms of any Permitted Amendment) or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant permitted under this Agreement.  Each 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

96

 

US-DOCS\73723759.13


 

exercise against any Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(d) Unless the applicable Administrative Agent shall have received notice from any Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the applicable Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or any Issuing Bank hereunder that the such Borrower will not make such payment, the applicable Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the applicable Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due.  In such event, if such Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or Issuing Banks, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the applicable Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or such Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the applicable Administrative Agent, at the Overnight Rate.

(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Sections 2.7(d) or (e), 2.8(b), 2.20(d) or 8.7, then the applicable Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the applicable Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

2.21 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.  (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.17, or if any Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes, Other Taxes or additional amount to any Lender or Issuing Bank or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.19, then such Lender or Issuing Bank shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans or Letters of Credit hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender or Issuing Bank, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.17 or 2.19, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender or Issuing Bank to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise cause material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage to such Lender or Issuing Bank.  Each applicable Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable and documented (in reasonable detail) out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or Issuing Bank in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) If any Lender (or any Participant in the Loans held by such Lender) requests compensation under Section 2.17, or if any Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes, Other Taxes or additional amount to any Lender (or its Participant) or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.19, or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then applicable Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the applicable Administrative Agent, either (i) require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.4), all its interests, rights and obligations under this

97

 

US-DOCS\73723759.13


 

Agreement (other than surviving rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.17 or 2.19) and the related Loan Documents to an assignee (other than a Disqualified Lender) that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided, that (A) the applicable Borrowers shall have received the prior written consent of the applicable Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank, to the extent consent for an Assignment and Assumption would be required by such Person pursuant to Section 9.4, which consent, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, (B) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and funded participations in LC Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the applicable Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts) and (C) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.17 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.19, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments, or (ii) so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, terminate the Commitment of such Lender and repay all obligations of the applicable Borrowers owing to such Lender relating to the Loans and participations held by such Lender as of such termination date.  A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation, or to have its Commitments terminated and its obligations hereunder repaid, if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the applicable Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation, or to terminate such Commitments and repay such obligations, cease to apply.

(c) If any Lender (such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”) has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination which pursuant to the terms of Section 9.2 requires the consent of all of the Lenders or all affected Lenders or all Lenders or all affected Lenders of a certain Class or Classes or with respect to a certain Class or Classes of the Loans and with respect to which the Required Lenders or the Majority Facility Lenders with respect to the applicable Class or Classes shall have granted their consent, then the applicable Borrowers shall have the right (unless such Non-Consenting Lender grants such consent) to either (i) replace such Non-Consenting Lender by requiring such Non-Consenting Lender to assign all or the affected portion of its Loans and its Commitments hereunder to one or more assignees reasonably acceptable to the applicable Administrative Agent (other than a Disqualified Lender); provided, that (A) all Obligations (other than Obligations in respect of any Specified Hedge Agreements, Cash Management Obligations, contingent reimbursement and indemnification obligations, in each case, which are not then due and payable) of the applicable Borrowers owing to such Non-Consenting Lender being replaced shall be paid in full to such Non-Consenting Lender concurrently with such assignment (including any amount owed pursuant to Section 2.12(e), if applicable), (B) the replacement Lender shall purchase the foregoing by paying to such Non-Consenting Lender a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, (C) in connection with any such assignment the applicable Borrowers, such Non-Consenting Lender and the replacement Lender shall otherwise comply with Section 9.4 (including obtaining the consent of the applicable Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank if so required thereunder); provided, that, if the required Assignment and Assumption is not executed and delivered by such Non-Consenting Lender, such Non-Consenting Lender will be

98

 

US-DOCS\73723759.13


 

unconditionally and irrevocably deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Assumption as of the date such Non-Consenting Lender receives payment in full of the Obligations (other than Obligations in respect of any Specified Hedge Agreements, Cash Management Obligations, contingent reimbursement and indemnification obligations, in each case, which are not then due and payable) of the applicable Borrowers owing to such Non-Consenting Lender, (D) the replacement Lender shall pay any processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 9.4(b)(ii)(C), if applicable, in accordance with the terms of such Section and (E) the replacement Lender shall grant its consent with respect to the applicable proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination, or (ii) so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, terminate the Commitment of such Non-Consenting Lender and repay all obligations of the applicable Borrowers owing to such Lender relating to the Loans held by such Non-Consenting Lender as of such termination date; provided, that such termination shall be sufficient (together with all other consenting Lenders) to cause the adoption of the applicable waiver or amendment of the applicable Loan Document or Loan Documents.

(d) Each Lender agrees that if it is replaced pursuant to this Section 2.21, it shall execute and deliver to the applicable Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption to evidence such sale and purchase and shall deliver to the applicable Administrative Agent any Note (if the assigning Lender’s Loans are evidenced by Notes) subject to such Assignment and Assumption; provided, that the failure of any Lender replaced pursuant to this Section 2.21 to execute an Assignment and Assumption or deliver such Notes shall not render such sale and purchase (and the corresponding assignment) invalid and such assignment shall be recorded in the Register and the Notes shall be deemed cancelled upon such failure.  Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints the applicable Administrative Agent (such appointment being coupled with an interest) as such Lender’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Lender and in the name of such Lender, from time to time in the applicable Administrative Agent’s discretion, with prior written notice to such Lender, to take any action and to execute any such Assignment and Assumption or other instrument that the applicable Administrative Agent may deem reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of clause (b) or (c) of this Section 2.21.

2.22 Defaulting Lenders.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a) commitment fees shall cease to accrue on the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.13(a);

(b) the Revolving Credit Commitment and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders, the Required Revolving Lenders or other requisite Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 9.2); provided, that this paragraph shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such Lender or each Lender affected thereby if such amendment, waiver or modification would adversely affect such Defaulting Lender compared to other similarly affected Lenders; provided, further, that no

99

 

US-DOCS\73723759.13


 

amendment, waiver or modification that would require the consent of a Defaulting Lender under clause (1), (2), (3) or (6) of Section 9.2(b) may be made without the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

(c) if any LC Exposure exists at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then:

(i) all or any part of the LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility but only to the extent (A) the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposure plus such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Commitments and (B) the Revolving Credit Exposure of each non-Defaulting Lender after giving effect to such reallocation does not exceed the Revolving Credit Commitment of such non-Defaulting Lender;

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Revolver Borrowers shall, without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to it hereunder or under applicable Requirements of Law, within three (3) Business Days following notice by the Revolver Administrative Agent, cash collateralize for the benefit of each applicable Issuing Bank only the applicable Revolver Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.7(j) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding or make other arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Revolver Administrative Agent and to the applicable Issuing Bank with respect to such LC Exposure and obligations to fund participations;

(iii) if the Revolver Borrowers cash collateralize any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the such Revolver Borrowers shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.13(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized except to the extent of such fees that became due and payable by any such Revolver Borrower prior to the date such Lender became a Defaulting Lender (it being understood that any cash collateral provided pursuant to this Section 2.22(c) shall be released promptly following the termination of the Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender);

(iv) if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.13(a) and Section 2.13(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable Percentages;

100

 

US-DOCS\73723759.13


 

(v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Bank or any other Lender hereunder, all fees payable under Section 2.13(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to each applicable Issuing Bank until and to the extent that such LC Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized;

(d) so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is reasonably satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding LC Exposure will be 100% covered by the Revolving Credit Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the applicable Revolver Borrowers in accordance with Section 2.22(c), and participating interests in any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.22(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein); and

(e) if a Defaulting Lender has Revolving Credit Commitments, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit, the Applicable Percentage of each non-Defaulting Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment, shall be computed without giving effect to the Revolving Credit Commitment of the Defaulting Lender.

In the event that the Revolver Administrative Agent, the Revolver Borrowers and each Issuing Bank each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the LC Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par (plus such amount, if any, that would otherwise be reimbursable by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.18 as a result of such purchase on such date) such of the Loans of the other Lenders, if any, as the Revolver Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, and such Lender shall then cease to be a Defaulting Lender with respect to subsequent periods unless such Lender shall thereafter become a Defaulting Lender.  Notwithstanding the fact that any Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, (x) no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Revolver Borrowers while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender and (y) except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

2.23 Incremental Facilities.  (a) At any time and from time to time, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (I) the Term Loan Borrowers may, by notice to the Term Administrative Agent and/or (II) the Revolver Borrowers may, by notice to the Revolver Administrative Agent (whereupon, in each case, the applicable Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy of such notice to each of the applicable Lenders), request to incur additional Senior Lien Term Loans or add one or more additional tranches of term loans, which

101

 

US-DOCS\73723759.13


 

may be secured on a junior or pari passu basis or unsecured (the “Incremental Term Loans”) or one or more increases in the Revolving Credit Commitments (an “Incremental Revolving Increase”) and/or add one or more incremental revolving credit facility tranches (an “Incremental Revolving Tranche”, each such Incremental Revolving Tranche or Incremental Revolving Increase, an “Incremental Revolving Commitment”, and each such Incremental Revolving Commitment or Incremental Term Loan, an “Incremental Facility”, and any such Incremental Facility and any Incremental Equivalent Debt, “Incremental Debt”).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, without the consent of the Required Lenders, the aggregate amount of the Incremental Facilities shall not exceed, at any time, the sum of (i) the aggregate amount of all voluntary prepayments of (A) the Loans pursuant to Section 2.12 and (B) all other Incremental Debt that is secured by a Lien on the Collateral that is pari passu with the Liens securing the Senior Lien Term Loan Facility, in each case made prior to the date of incurrence of such Incremental Debt (other than in connection with any refinancing of such Loans or other Incremental Debt or to the extent otherwise financed with the proceeds of long-term Indebtedness) and, in the case of voluntary prepayments of a revolving credit facility, solely to the extent accompanied by a corresponding permanent commitment reduction plus (ii) an unlimited amount (any such Incremental Debt, in each case to the extent incurred under this clause (ii), “Ratio-Based Incremental Debt”) so long as, in the case of this clause (ii), upon the effectiveness of the relevant Incremental Facility Amendment or the relevant documentation relating to other Incremental Debt, as the case may be, (x) in the case of an Incremental Debt that is secured by a Lien on the Collateral that is pari passu with the Liens securing the Senior Lien Term Loan Facility, the Secured Leverage Ratio, calculated on a Pro Forma Basis giving effect to such Incremental Debt and the use of the proceeds thereof (but it being understood that the proceeds from such Incremental Debt shall not be used for netting indebtedness and any such Incremental Facility that is a revolving credit facility shall be deemed to be fully drawn on the effective date thereof), does not exceed 1.75:1.00 and (y) in the case of Incremental Debt that is (A) secured by a Lien on the Collateral that is junior to the Liens securing the Senior Lien Term Loan Facility or (B) unsecured, the Total Leverage Ratio, calculated on a Pro Forma Basis giving effect to such Incremental Debt and the use of the proceeds thereof (but it being understood that the proceeds from such Incremental Debt shall not be used for netting indebtedness and any such Incremental Facility that is a revolving credit facility shall be deemed to be fully drawn on the effective date thereof), does not exceed 3.25:1.00.  Unless elected otherwise by the applicable Borrowers, any Incremental Debt shall be deemed to have been incurred first, in reliance on clause (ii) above to the extent thereof, and second, in reliance on clause (i) above to the extent thereof.  Incremental Debt may be incurred contemporaneously under clause (ii) above and under clause (i) above, and proceeds from any such incurrence may be utilized in a single transaction, by first calculating the amount available to be incurred under the clause (ii) above and disregarding any concurrent utilization under clause (i) above.  All Incremental Term Loans and all Incremental Revolving Commitments shall be in an integral multiple of $1.0 million and in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $5.0 million (or in such lesser minimum amount agreed by the applicable Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, that such amount may be less than the applicable minimum amount if such amount represents all the remaining availability in respect of the Incremental Facilities.

(b) Any Incremental Facility (other than an Incremental Revolving Increase and an Incremental Term Loan that is an increase to the Senior Lien Term Loan Facility) (i) shall rank pari passu or junior in right of payment to the Obligations in respect of the other outstanding Term Loans and Revolving Credit Commitments or may be unsecured, in each case as set forth in the relevant Incremental Facility Amendment (which shall be reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Administrative Agent) and shall not be guaranteed by any Subsidiary that is not also a Guarantor and, if secured, shall be secured on a pari passu or junior basis, by the same Collateral securing the Facilities (which Liens shall be subject to intercreditor arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the applicable Borrowers), (ii) for purposes of prepayments, shall be treated substantially the same as (or, to the extent set forth in the relevant Incremental Facility Amendment, less favorably than) the other outstanding Loans and (iii) other than with respect to amortization, maturity date and pricing (including interest rate, fees, funding discounts and prepayment premiums) and, to the extent permitted pursuant to clause (i) above, ranking of right of payment and/or security, shall have the same terms as the Facilities or such terms that are, when taken as a whole, not materially more favorable (as reasonably determined by the applicable Borrowers in good faith) to the lenders providing such Incremental Facility than the terms and conditions, taken as a whole, applicable to the then existing Facilities (except with respect to covenants (including any financial maintenance covenant added for the benefit of lenders providing such Incremental Facility) and other provisions so long as such covenants or other provisions (1) are also added for the benefit of the Lenders of under the Facilities or (2) only become applicable after the Latest Maturity Date of the then outstanding Facilities at the time of such incurrence of such Incremental Facility); provided, that (A) if the effective yield (whether in the form of interest rate margins, original issue discount, upfront fees or a “floor”, with such increased amount being equated to interest margin for purposes of determining any increase to the applicable interest margin under the Senior Lien Term Loan Facility or Revolving Credit Facility, as applicable) payable to all Lenders providing such Incremental Facility (but excluding any bona fide arrangement, underwriting, structuring, syndication or other fees payable in connection therewith that are not shared with all Lenders (in their capacity as such) providing such Incremental Facility) on such Incremental Facility determined as of the initial funding date for such Incremental Facility exceeds the effective yield (determined on same basis as the preceding parenthetical) on the Senior Lien Term Loan Facility or Revolving Credit Facility or any then-existing Incremental Term Loans and/or Incremental Revolving Tranches that are secured on a pari passu basis with the Obligations (“Pari Passu Incremental Loans/Tranches”), as applicable, immediately prior to the effectiveness of the applicable Incremental Facility Amendment by more than 0.50%, the Applicable Margin relating to the Senior Lien Term Loan Facility or Revolving Credit Facility or such then existing Pari Passu Incremental Loans/Tranches, as applicable, shall be adjusted and/or the applicable Borrowers will pay additional fees to Lenders under the Senior Lien Term Loan Facility or Revolving Credit Facility or such then existing Pari Passu Incremental Loans/Tranches, as applicable, in order that such effective yield on such Incremental Facility shall not exceed such effective yield on the Senior Lien Term Loan Facility or Revolving Credit Facility or such then existing Pari Passu Incremental Loans/Tranches by more than 0.50% (provided, that if such adjustment is required due to the application of a higher interest rate benchmark floor on such Incremental Facility, such adjustment shall be effected solely through an increase in the interest rate benchmark floor of the Senior Lien Term Loans or Revolving Credit Facility or such then existing Pari Passu Incremental Loans/Tranches, as applicable (or if no interest rate benchmark floor applies to the Senior Lien Term Loans or Revolving Credit Facility or such then existing Pari Passu Incremental Loans/Tranches, as applicable, at such time, an interest rate benchmark floor shall be added)), (B) any Incremental Term Loans shall not have a final maturity date earlier than the then Latest Maturity Date of the then remaining Senior Lien Term Loans or then existing Pari Passu Incremental Loans/Tranches and any Incremental Revolving Commitments shall not have a final maturity date earlier than the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and (C) any Incremental Term Loans shall not have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity that is shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the later of the then remaining Senior Lien Term Loans or then existing Incremental Term Loans, as applicable (determined, solely for the purposes of this clause (C), without giving effect to prepayments that reduced amortization of the then remaining Senior Lien Term Loans).  Any Incremental Revolving Increase shall be on terms identical to the Revolving Credit Commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility proposed to be increased thereby and, for the avoidance of doubt, such Incremental Revolving Increase shall be deemed a Revolving Credit Commitment of the applicable Revolving Credit Facility pursuant to the applicable Incremental Facility Amendment (it being understood that an Incremental Facility establishing Incremental Revolving Increase will not create a separate Revolving Credit Facility and such Incremental Revolving Increase shall be deemed a part of the applicable Revolving Credit Facility); provided that the Applicable Margin or the Revolving Commitment Fee Rate, in each case applicable to the Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Credit Loans of such Revolving Credit Facility, may be increased, without the consent of any Lender, in connection with the incurrence of any Incremental Revolving Increase such that the Applicable Margin or the Revolving Commitment Fee Rate, as applicable, of such Revolving Credit Commitments are identical to those of the Incremental Revolving Increase, but additional upfront or similar fees may be payable to the lenders participating in the Incremental Revolving Increase without any requirement to pay such amounts to any existing Revolving Credit Lenders.  Any Incremental Term Loan that is an increase to the Senior Lien Term Loan Facility shall be on terms identical to the Senior Lien Term Loan Facility proposed to be increased thereby and, for the avoidance of doubt, such Incremental Term Loan shall be deemed a Senior Lien Term Loan of the applicable Senior Lien Term Loan Facility pursuant to the applicable Incremental Facility Amendment (it being understood that an Incremental Facility establishing such Incremental Term Loan will not create a separate Senior Lien Term Loan Facility and such Incremental Term Loan shall be deemed a part of the applicable Senior Lien Term Loan Facility); provided that the Applicable Margin applicable to the Senior Lien Term Loan Facility may be increased, without the consent of any Lender, in connection with the incurrence of any such Incremental Term Facility such that the Applicable Margin of such Senior Lien Term Loan Facility are identical to those of such Incremental Term Loans, but additional upfront or similar fees may be payable to the lenders participating in such Incremental Term Loans without any requirement to pay such amounts to any existing Term Loan Lenders.  

(c) Each notice from the applicable Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.23 shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Term Loans and/or Incremental Revolving Commitments (including whether they will rank pari

passu with, or junior in right of payment to, and pari passu with, or junior in priority of security to, the Obligations in respect of the other outstanding Facilities or will be unsecured).  Any Additional Lenders that elect to extend Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Commitments shall be reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Borrowers, and (unless such Additional Lender is already a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender) the applicable Administrative Agent and, with respect to any Incremental Revolving Commitment, each Issuing Bank (in each case, any approval thereof not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), and, if not already a Lender, shall become a Lender under this Agreement pursuant to an Incremental Facility Amendment.  Each Incremental Facility shall become effective pursuant to an amendment (each, an “Incremental  Facility Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the applicable Borrowers, such Additional Lender or Additional Lenders and the applicable Administrative Agent.  No Incremental Facility Amendment shall require the consent of any Lenders or any other Person other than the applicable Borrowers, the applicable Administrative Agent and the Additional Lenders with respect to such Incremental Facility Amendment.  The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Term Administrative Agent to enter into Incremental Facility Amendments and, as appropriate, amendments to the other Loan Documents as may be necessary in order to establish new tranches or sub-tranches in respect of the existing Term Loans and such other amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the opinion of the Term Administrative Agent and the Term Loan Borrowers to effect the provisions of this Section 2.23 (including to provide for class voting provisions applicable to the Additional Lenders on terms comparable to the provisions of Section 9.2(b) and including, for the avoidance of doubt, to provide for and reflect junior ranking in right of payment and/or junior priority in respect of Liens on Collateral, or the unsecured nature of such Incremental Facility, as applicable and as permitted pursuant to this Section 2.23).  No Lender shall be obligated to provide any Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Commitments unless it so agrees.  Commitments in respect of any Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Commitments shall become Commitments under this Agreement.  The effectiveness of any Incremental Facility Amendment shall, unless otherwise agreed to by the applicable Administrative Agent and the Additional Lenders party thereto, be subject to (i) the payment in full of all fees and expenses owing to the applicable Administrative Agent and the Lenders in respect of such Incremental Facility, to the extent invoiced prior to such date, and (ii) the satisfaction or waiver on the date thereof (each, an “Incremental Facility Closing Date”) of (x) the representations and warranties made by any Loan Party in or pursuant to the Loan Documents being true and correct in all material respects on and as of Incremental Facility Closing Date as if made on and as of such date, except for representations and warranties expressly stated to relate to a specific earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date (provided, that in each case such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations or warranties that already are qualified or modified by materiality or “Material Adverse Effect”); provided, that, (x) in connection with the incurrence of any Limited Conditionality Incremental Transaction, then the only representations and warranties that will be required to be true and correct in all material respects as of the applicable Incremental Facility Closing Date shall be (A) the Specified Representations and (B) 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 Parent (or any Subsidiary of Parent) has the right to terminate the obligations of Parent or such Subsidiary under such acquisition agreement or not consummate such acquisition as a result of the inaccuracy of such representations or warranties in such acquisition agreement) and (y) no Default or Event of Default (or, in the case of any Limited Conditionality Incremental Transaction, and to the extent agreed to by the lenders and other investors providing such Incremental Facilities, no Specified Event of Default) having occurred and being continuing on the Incremental Facility Closing Date or after giving effect to the Incremental Facility requested to be made on such date.  To the extent reasonably requested by the applicable Administrative Agent, the effectiveness of an Incremental Facility Amendment may be conditioned on the applicable Administrative Agent’s receipt of customary legal opinions with respect thereto, board resolutions and officers’ certificates and/or reaffirmation agreements consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 4.1, with respect to Parent and the Restricted Subsidiaries.  Upon each Revolving Credit Increase pursuant to this Section 2.23, each Revolving Credit Lender under such Revolving Credit Facility immediately prior to such increase will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each Lender providing a portion of the Incremental Revolving Commitment (each an “Incremental Revolving Lender”) in respect of such increase, and each such Incremental Revolving Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed, a portion of such Revolving Credit Lender’s participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit under the applicable Revolving Credit Facility such that, after giving effect to each such deemed assignment and assumption of participations, the percentage of the aggregate outstanding participations hereunder in Letters of Credit held by each Revolving Credit Lender in such Revolving Credit Facility (including each such Incremental Revolving Lender) will equal the percentage of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments of all Revolving Credit Lenders in such Revolving Credit Facility represented by such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment thereunder. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Revolver Administrative Agent may, in consultation with the Revolver Borrowers, take any and all actions as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that, after giving effect to any Incremental Revolving Increase, the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans are held by the Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages in respect of the applicable Revolving Credit Facility. The foregoing may be accomplished at the discretion of the Revolver Administrative Agent, following consultation with the Revolver Borrowers, (A) by requiring the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans to be prepaid with the proceeds of a new Revolving Credit Borrowing, (B) by causing non-increasing Revolving Credit Lenders to assign portions of their outstanding Revolving Credit Loans to new or increasing Revolving Credit Lenders, (C) by a combination of the foregoing or (D) by any other means agreed to by the Revolver Administrative Agent and the Revolver Borrowers, and any such prepayment or assignment shall be subject to Section 2.18 but shall otherwise be without premium or penalty.  The Administrative Agents and the Lenders hereby agree that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to any of the transactions effected pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.  In addition, to the extent any Incremental Term Loans are not Other Term Loans, the scheduled amortization payments under Section 2.3 required to be made after the making of such Incremental Term Loans shall be ratably increased by the aggregate principal amount of such Incremental Term Loans.

(d) At any time and from time to time, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Term Loan Borrowers may, subject to providing notice to the Term Administrative Agent (whereupon the Term Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders), issue one or more series of Incremental Equivalent Debt in an aggregate outstanding principal amount not to exceed, as of the date of the issuance of any such Incremental Equivalent Debt, the aggregate amount of Incremental Facilities then permitted to be incurred under Section 2.23(a); provided, that solely in respect of any Incremental Equivalent Debt constituting term loans secured on a pari passu basis with the Obligations, if the effective yield (which, for such purpose only, shall be deemed to take account of interest rate margin and any then applicable benchmark floors, recurring fees and all upfront or similar fees or original issue discount (amortized over the shorter of (1) the weighted average life of such Incremental Equivalent Debt and (2) four years) payable to all lenders or investors providing such Incremental Equivalent Debt (but excluding any bona fide arrangement, underwriting, structuring, syndication or other fees payable in connection therewith that are not shared with all lenders or investors (in their capacity as such) providing such Incremental Equivalent Debt)) on such Incremental Equivalent Debt determined as of the initial funding date for such Incremental Equivalent Debt exceeds the effective yield (determined on same basis as the preceding parenthetical) on the Senior Lien Term Loans or Revolving Credit Facility or any then existing Pari Passu Incremental Loans/Tranches, as applicable, immediately prior to the effectiveness of the definitive documentation of such Incremental Equivalent Debt by more than 0.50%, the Applicable Margin relating to the Senior Lien Term Loans or Revolving Credit Facility or such then existing Pari Passu Incremental Loans/Tranches, as applicable, shall be adjusted and/or the Term Loan Borrowers will pay additional fees to Lenders holding Senior Lien Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments or such then existing Pari Passu Incremental Loans/Tranches, as applicable, in order that such effective yield on such Incremental Equivalent Debt shall not exceed such effective yield on the Senior Lien Term Loans or Revolving Credit Facility or such then existing Pari Passu Incremental Loans/Tranches by more than 0.50% (provided, that if such adjustment is required due to the application of a higher interest rate benchmark floor on such Incremental Equivalent Debt, such adjustment shall be effected solely through an increase in the interest rate benchmark floor of the Senior Lien Term Loans or such then existing Pari Passu Incremental Loans/Tranches, as applicable (or if no interest rate benchmark floor applies to the Senior Lien Term Loans or Revolving Credit Facility or such then existing Pari Passu Incremental Loans/Tranches, as applicable, at such time, an interest rate benchmark floor shall be added)).  As conditions precedent to the issuance of any Incremental Equivalent Debt pursuant to this Section 2.23, (i) the Term Loan Borrowers shall deliver to the Term Administrative Agent a certificate of the Term Loan Borrowers dated as of the date of issuance of the Incremental Equivalent Debt signed by a Responsible Officer of each Term Loan Borrower, certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by each such Term Loan Borrower approving or consenting to the execution and delivery of the applicable financing documentation in respect of such Incremental Equivalent Debt and the issuance of such Incremental Equivalent Debt, and certifying that the conditions precedent set forth in the following subclauses (ii) through (vii) have been satisfied, (ii) such Incremental Equivalent Debt shall rank pari passu or junior in right of payment and shall not have guarantees from any Subsidiary that is not also a Guarantor and if secured, shall not be secured by any assets of the Group Members not constituting Collateral, (iii) such Incremental Equivalent Debt shall have a final maturity no earlier than the date permitted with respect to Incremental Term Loans pursuant to clause (B) of the proviso in Section 2.23(b) (provided that any such Indebtedness in the form of bridge notes or bridge loans in either case with a maturity of less than 12 months shall not be required to meet the requirement in this clause (iii) so long as such bridge notes or bridge loans provide for automatic conversion, subject to customary conditions, into “permanent” financing that satisfies such requirement), (iv) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Incremental Equivalent Debt shall not be shorter than that permitted for Incremental Term Loans pursuant to clause (C) of the proviso in Section 2.23(b) (provided that any such Indebtedness in the form of bridge notes or bridge loans in either case with a maturity of less than 12 months shall not be required to meet the requirement in this clause (iv) so long as such bridge notes or bridge loans provide for automatic conversion, subject to customary conditions, into “permanent” financing that satisfies such requirement), (v) no Default or Event of Default (or, in the case of any Incremental Equivalent Debt incurred to fund a Limited Conditionality Incremental Transaction, and to the extent agreed to by the Persons providing such Incremental Equivalent Debt, no Specified Event of Default) shall have occurred and be continuing or would result from the issuance of such Incremental Equivalent Debt and (vi) all fees and expenses owing to the Term Administrative Agent and the Lenders or other financial institutions in respect of such Incremental Equivalent Debt, to the extent invoiced prior to such date, shall have been paid in full.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, with respect to any Incremental Term Loans (or Incremental Equivalent Debt), the proceeds of which are to be used by a Term Loan Borrower or any other Group Member to finance, in whole or in part, a Permitted Acquisition or any other Investment permitted under Section 6.7, in each case, that is not conditioned on the availability of, or on obtaining, third party financing (each such transaction, a “Limited Conditionality Incremental Transaction”), for purposes of determining (x) compliance with any financial ratio (other than any Financial Covenant), (y) accuracy of representations and warranties (other than Specified Representations, which shall be accurate in all material respects as of the Incremental Facility Closing Date or the date of incurrence of such Incremental Equivalent Debt, as the case may be) or occurrence of a Default or Event of Default, or (z) availability under baskets (including baskets measured as a percentage of Consolidated EBITDA or Consolidated Total Assets), in each case, in connection with such Limited Conditionality Incremental Transaction and any related incurrence of Indebtedness or Liens under Section 6.2, 6.3 or 6.10, the Term Loan Borrowers shall have the option of making any such determinations as of the date the definitive agreement related to such Limited Conditionality Incremental Transaction is signed or on the date that such Limited Conditionality Incremental Transaction is consummated.  If the Borrowers elect to make such determinations as of the date the definitive agreement related to such Limited Conditionality Incremental Transaction is signed, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio or basket on or following the date of such election under this Agreement and prior to the earlier of (i) the date on which such Limited Conditionality Incremental Transaction is consummated or (ii) the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Conditionality Incremental Transaction is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Conditionality Incremental Transaction, any such ratio or basket shall be calculated (A) on a Pro Forma Basis assuming such Limited Conditionality Incremental Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of

106

proceeds thereof) have been consummated until such time as the applicable Limited Conditionality Incremental Transaction has actually closed or the definitive agreement with respect thereto has been terminated and (B) on a standalone basis without giving effect to such Limited Conditionality Incremental Transaction and the other transactions in connection therewith.

2.24 Replacement Facilities.  (a) At any time and from time to time, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the applicable Borrowers may, by notice to the applicable Administrative Agent (whereupon the applicable Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders), request to replace all or a portion of the Term Loans under any Facility with one or more additional tranches of term loans under this Agreement (the “Replacement Term Loans”) or replace all or a portion of the Revolving Credit Facility with a new revolving credit facility under this Agreement (the “Replacement Revolving Credit Facility”; each such replacement facility, a “Replacement Facility”), which may be equal or junior to the Senior Lien Term Loans in right of payment and may be secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with the Senior Lien Term Loans or secured by the Collateral on a junior basis to the Senior Lien Term Loans.  Each tranche of Replacement Term Loans shall be in an integral multiple of $1.0 million and be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $20.0 million (or such lesser minimum amount approved by the applicable Administrative Agent, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and shall not exceed the principal amount of the Term Loans being replaced (plus the amount of fees, expenses and original issue discount incurred in connection with such Replacement Term Loans).  The amount of each Replacement Revolving Credit Facility shall not exceed the amount of the Revolving Credit Facility being replaced (plus the amount of fees, expenses, original issue discount, and upfront fees incurred in connection with such Replacement Revolving Credit Facility). The Net Cash Proceeds of any Replacement Term Loans shall be applied only to prepay the Term Loans of the Class of Term Loans that such Replacement Term Loans are replacing.

(b) Any Replacement Term Loans (i) shall rank pari passu or junior in right of payment and security with or to the Obligations in respect of the Revolving Credit Commitments and the other Term Loans pursuant to the relevant Replacement Facility Amendment (which shall be reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Administrative Agent) and (ii) other than voluntary prepayment, maturity date, conditions precedent and pricing (including interest rate, fees, funding discounts and prepayment premiums) (as set forth in the relevant Replacement Facility Amendment) shall have terms, when taken as a whole, not materially more favorable (as determined by the Term Loan Borrowers in good faith) to the lenders or investors providing such Replacement Term Loans than the terms applicable to the Term Loans being replaced (except with respect to covenants (including any financial maintenance covenant added for the benefit of lenders providing such Replacement Term Loans) and other provisions so long as such covenants or other provisions (1) are also added for the benefit of all then outstanding Term Loans or (2) only become applicable after the Latest Maturity Date of the then outstanding Term Loans at the time of such incurrence of such Replacement Term Loans); provided, that (A) any Replacement Term Loans shall not have a final maturity date earlier than the final scheduled maturity date of the Term Loans being replaced, (B) any Replacement Term Loans shall not have a Weighted Average Life to

107

 

US-DOCS\73723759.13


 

Maturity that is shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the then remaining Term Loans under the applicable Class (determined, solely, for the purposes of this clause (B), without giving effect to prepayments that reduced amortization of the then remaining Senior Lien Term Loans), (C) principal of and interest on any Term Loans being replaced with Replacement Term Loans shall be paid in full on the Replacement Facility Closing Date for the applicable Replacement Term Loans and (D) the Term Loans of each Lender under the replaced Class shall be prepaid ratably.  The principal of and interest on any outstanding Revolving Credit Loans under any replaced Revolving Credit Facility, together with all fees owed by the Revolver Borrowers under such Revolving Credit Facility, shall be paid in full and all outstanding Letters of Credit will be replaced, cash collateralized or continued on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Lenders under such Revolving Credit Facility, in each case on the Replacement Facility Closing Date for such Facility.  Any Replacement Revolving Credit Facility (x) shall not have a final maturity date earlier than the final scheduled maturity date of the replaced Revolving Credit Facility and (y) shall be on the terms and pursuant to the documentation applicable to the Revolving Credit Commitments under such replaced Revolving Credit Facility (other than maturity date, conditions precedent and pricing (including interest rate, fees, funding discounts and prepayment premiums)) or on such other terms that are, when taken as a whole, not materially more favorable (as determined in good faith by the Revolver Borrowers) to the lenders or investors providing such Replacement Revolving Credit Facility than the terms and conditions, taken as a whole, applicable to the Revolving Credit Facility being replaced (except with respect to covenants (including any financial maintenance covenant added for the benefit of lenders providing such Replacement Revolving Credit Facility) and other provisions so long as such covenants or other provisions (1) are also added for the benefit of all of the then outstanding Revolving Credit Loans or (2) only become applicable after the Latest Maturity Date of the then outstanding Revolving Credit Loans at the time of such incurrence of such Replacement Revolving Credit Facility), in each case, as set forth in the relevant Replacement Facility Amendment.  The obligations under any Replacement Facility shall not be guaranteed by any Subsidiary other than a Guarantor, and, if secured, the obligations under any Replacement Facility shall not be secured by a Lien on any Property of any Group Member other than Property that constitutes Collateral.  In addition, the terms and conditions applicable to any Replacement Facility may provide for additional or different covenants or other provisions that are agreed between the applicable Borrowers and the Lenders under such Replacement Facility and applicable only during periods after the then Latest Maturity Date that is in effect on the date such Replacement Facility is issued, incurred or obtained or the date on which all non-refinanced Obligations (excluding Obligations in respect of any Specified Hedge Agreements, Cash Management Obligations and contingent reimbursement and indemnification obligations, in each case, which are not then due and payable) are paid in full.  Any Replacement Term Loans that are junior in right of payment or security to any other Class of Term Loans will be subject to a customary intercreditor agreement reasonably acceptable to the Term Loan Borrowers and the Term Administrative Agent.

(c) Each notice from the applicable Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.24 shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Replacement Term Loans and/or Replacement Revolving Credit Facility, including whether the proposed Replacement Term Loans will be pari passu with or junior to any existing Term Loans in right

108

 

US-DOCS\73723759.13


 

of payment or security.  Any Additional Lender that elects to extend Replacement Term Loans or commitments under a Replacement Revolving Credit Facility shall be reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Borrowers and (unless such Additional Lender is already a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender) the Revolver Administrative Agent, and, if not already a Lender, shall become a Lender under this Agreement pursuant to a Replacement Facility Amendment.  Each Replacement Facility shall become effective pursuant to an amendment (each, a “Replacement Facility Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the applicable Borrowers, such Additional Lender or Additional Lenders and the Revolver Administrative Agent.  No Replacement Facility Amendment shall require the consent of any Lenders or any other Person other than the applicable Borrowers, the applicable Administrative Agent and the Additional Lenders with respect to such Replacement Facility Amendment.  The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the applicable Administrative Agent to enter into the Replacement Facility Amendment and, as appropriate, amendments to the other Loan Documents and intercreditor arrangements as may be necessary or appropriate in order to establish new tranches or sub-tranches in respect of Revolving Credit Commitments or Term Loans so replaced and such other amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the opinion of the applicable Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrowers to effect the provisions of this Section 2.24 (including to provide for class voting provisions applicable to the Additional Lenders on terms comparable to the provisions of Section 9.2(b)).  No Lender shall be obligated to provide any Replacement Term Loans or commitments for any Replacement Revolving Credit Facility unless it so agrees.  Commitments in respect of any Replacement Term Loans or Replacement Revolving Credit Facility shall become Commitments under this Agreement.  The effectiveness of any Replacement Facility Amendment shall, unless otherwise agreed to by the applicable Administrative Agent and the Additional Lenders party thereto, be subject to the satisfaction or waiver on the date thereof (each, a “Replacement Facility Closing Date”) of (x) the representations and warranties made by any Loan Party in or pursuant to the Loan Documents being true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Replacement Facility Closing Date as if made on and as of such date, except for representations and warranties expressly stated to relate to a specific earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date (provided, that in each case such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations or warranties that already are qualified or modified by materiality or “Material Adverse Effect”) and (y) no Default or Event of Default having occurred and being continuing on the Replacement Facility Closing Date or after giving effect to the Replacement Facility requested to be made on such date.  The proceeds of any Replacement Term Loans or any Replacement Revolving Credit Facility will be applied, substantially concurrently with the incurrence thereof, to the pro rata prepayment of the outstanding Loans under such replaced Facility (or replaced portion thereof).  To the extent reasonably requested by the applicable Administrative Agent, the effectiveness of a Replacement Facility Amendment may be conditioned on the applicable Administrative Agent’s receipt of customary legal opinions with respect thereto, board resolutions and officers’ certificates and/or reaffirmation agreements consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 4.1, with respect to Parent and the Restricted Subsidiaries.  No Replacement Revolving Credit Facility may be implemented unless such Facility has provisions reasonably satisfactory to the Revolver Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank with respect to Letters of Credit then outstanding under the Revolving Credit

109

 

US-DOCS\73723759.13


 

Facility being replaced.  Only one Revolving Credit Facility shall be in effect at any time; provided, that multiple tranches of Revolving Credit Commitments may be outstanding thereunder on the terms applicable thereto pursuant to this Agreement and any applicable Permitted Amendments, and any Replacement Revolving Credit Facility shall replace the Revolving Credit Facility under the Loan Documents.  The Administrative Agents and the Lenders hereby agree that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to any of the transactions effected pursuant to this Section 2.24.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, at any time and from time to time following the establishment of a Class of Replacement Term Loans or Commitments under a Replacement Revolving Credit Facility (“Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments”), the applicable Borrowers may offer any Lender of a Term Loan Facility or then existing Revolving Credit Facility that has previously been subject to a Replacement Facility Amendment (without being required to make the same offer to any or all other Lenders) who had not elected to participate in such Replacement Facility Amendment on the applicable Replacement Facility Closing Date the right to convert all or any portion of its Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments into such Class of Replacement Term Loans or Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable; provided, that (i) such offer and any related acceptance shall be in accordance with such procedures, if any, as may be reasonably requested by, or acceptable to, the applicable Administrative Agent; (ii) such additional Replacement Term Loans and additional Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments, (x) shall be on identical terms (including as to the proposed interest rates and fees payable, but excluding any arrangement, structuring or other fees payable in connection therewith that are not generally shared with the relevant Lenders) with the existing Replacement Term Loans and Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, and (y) with respect to any additional Replacement Term Loans, shall result in proportionate increases to the scheduled amortization payments otherwise owing with respect to any such Replacement Term Loans, (iii) any Lender which elects to participate in a Replacement Facility pursuant to this clause (d) shall enter into a joinder agreement to the respective Replacement Facility Amendment, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Administrative Agent and executed by such Lender, the applicable Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrowers and (iv) any such additional Replacement Term Loans and additional Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $1.0 million (or, in the case of an outstanding Class with an entire outstanding principal amount of existing Term Loans or existing Revolving Credit Commitments less than a $1.0 million that is to be refinanced in full, such outstanding principal amount or commitments), unless each of the applicable Borrowers and the applicable Administrative Agent otherwise consents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Loans made as provided above shall be treated as part of the Class to which such Loans are added, and shall not constitute a new Class of Replacement Term Loans or a new tranche of Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments.

2.25 Extensions of Term Loans and Revolving Credit Commitments.  (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, pursuant to one or more offers (each, an “Extension Offer”) made from time to time by the applicable Borrowers to all Lenders

Revolving Credit Commitments (or a portion thereof) and (B) with respect to any Extension of the Revolving Credit Commitments, the consent of each Issuing Bank, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  All Extended Term Loans, Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and all obligations in respect thereof shall be Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that are secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with all other applicable Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the applicable Administrative Agent to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (an “Extension Amendment”) with the applicable Borrowers as may be necessary in order to establish new tranches or sub-tranches in respect of Revolving Credit Commitments or Term Loans so extended and such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the opinion of the applicable Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrowers to effect the provisions of this Section (including in connection with the establishment of such new tranches or sub-tranches or to provide for class voting provisions applicable to the Additional Lenders on terms comparable to the provisions of Section 9.2(b)) in each case on terms consistent with this Section.  In addition, if so provided in such amendment and with the consent of the applicable Issuing Banks, participations in Letters of Credit expiring on or after the Revolving Credit Maturity Date shall be re-allocated from Lenders holding Revolving Credit Commitments to Lenders holding Extended Revolving Credit Commitments in accordance with the terms of such amendment; provided, however, that such participation interests shall, upon receipt thereof by the relevant Lenders holding Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, be deemed to be participation interests in respect of such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and the terms of such participation interests (including the commission applicable thereto) shall be adjusted accordingly. Without limiting the foregoing, in connection with any Extension the respective Loan Parties shall (at their expense), within 90 days of the applicable Extension Amendment (or such later date as may be approved by the Collateral Agent), amend (and the Collateral Agent is hereby directed to amend) any Mortgage that has a maturity date prior to the then Latest Maturity Date so that such maturity date is extended to the then Latest Maturity Date (or such later date as may be advised by local counsel to the Collateral Agent).

(d) In connection with any Extension, the applicable Borrowers shall provide the applicable Administrative Agent at least five Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the applicable Administrative Agent) prior written notice thereof, and shall agree to such procedures (including regarding timing, rounding and other adjustments and to ensure reasonable administrative management of the credit facilities hereunder after such Extension), if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the applicable Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.25.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, at any time and from time to time following the establishment of a Class of Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, the applicable Borrowers may offer any Lender of a Term Loan Facility or Revolving Credit Facility that had been subject to an Extension Amendment (without being required to make the same offer to any or all other Lenders) who had not elected to participate in such Extension Amendment the right to convert all or any portion of its Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments into such Class of Extended Term Loans or

113

 

US-DOCS\73723759.13


 

Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, provided that (i) such offer and any related acceptance shall be in accordance with such procedures, if any, as may be reasonably requested by, or acceptable to, the applicable Administrative Agent; (ii) such additional Extended Term Loans and additional Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, (x) shall be on identical terms (including as to the proposed interest rates and fees payable, but excluding any arrangement, structuring or other fees payable in connection therewith that are not generally shared with the relevant Lenders) with the existing Extended Term Loans and Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, and (y) with respect to any additional Extended Term Loans shall result in proportionate increases to the scheduled amortization payments otherwise owing with respect to any such Extended Term Loans, (iii) any Lender which elects to participate in an Extension Facility pursuant to this clause (e) shall enter into a joinder agreement to the respective Extension Amendment, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Administrative Agent and executed by such Lender, the applicable Administrative Agent, the applicable Borrowers and the other Loan Parties and (iv) any such additional Extended Term Loans and additional Extended Revolving Credit Commitments shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $1.0 million (or, in the case of an outstanding Class with an entire outstanding principal amount of existing Term Loans or existing Revolving Credit Commitments less than a $1.0 million that is to be refinanced in full, such outstanding principal amount or commitments), unless each of the applicable Borrowers and the applicable Administrative Agent otherwise consents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Loans made as provided above shall be treated as part of the Class to which such Loans are added, and shall not constitute a new Class of Extended Term Loans or new Extended Revolving Credit Commitments.
