(m)    在任何適用法律要求的範圍內,行政代理可以從任何貸款人的任何付款中扣繳相當於任何適用預扣稅的金額。在不限制或擴大第3.01節的規定的情況下,每一貸款人應賠償行政代理人,使其不受損害,並應在提出要求後十天內就此向行政代理人賠償任何及所有稅款,以及因行政代理人因任何原因(包括未交付適當表格或未正確執行)而對行政代理人產生或針對行政代理人產生或聲稱的任何及所有相關損失、索賠、債務和支出(包括行政代理人的任何費用、收費和支出)。或者因爲貸款人沒有通知行政代理機構情況的變化,導致免徵或減少預扣稅無效)。由行政代理交付給任何貸款人的關於此類付款或債務的金額的證明,在沒有明顯錯誤的情況下,應是決定性的。各貸款人特此授權行政代理隨時抵銷和運用本協議或任何其他貸款文件項下欠該貸款人的任何和所有款項,抵銷本節規定的應付行政代理人的任何款項。本節第9.12節中的協議在行政代理人辭職和/或更換、貸款人進行任何權利轉讓或替換以及償還、清償或履行所有其他義務後仍然有效。爲免生疑問,就本第9.12節而言,「貸款人」一詞應包括任何L/信用證發放人、任何L/信用證替代者和任何擺動額度貸款人。第9.13節。以下內容:
債權人間協議貸款人在此授權行政代理訂立本協議允許的任何債權人間協議或其他書面債權人間協議,貸款人承認任何此類債權人間協議或安排將對貸款人具有約束力。第十條其他第10.01條。其他修訂等。

提供任何因未能履行或遵守財務契約或第8.04條而導致的任何違約或違約事件的任何更改,以及在每種情況下與之相關的任何定義(因爲其中使用了任何此類定義,但不是本協議或任何其他貸款文件中使用的定義)或放棄任何違約或違約事件,只需徵得所需循環信貸貸款人的同意。爲免生疑問,任何與本協議有關的修訂只應根據本協議的規定作出,而與利率協議、商品協議或貨幣協議有關的任何修訂只應根據該利率協議、商品協議或貨幣協議的規定作出,在每種情況下,即使貸款文件有任何其他規定,亦不得作出任何修訂。

(V)除非另有規定,否則允許任何借款方或本協議的任何其他一方推遲向該貸款人支付本協議項下的任何本金、利息、手續費或任何其他款項的日期;(Vi)允許推遲任何到期日;(Vii)取消對所需貸款人、所需循環信貸貸款人的定義中所列百分比的任何減少,或任何其他規定,具體說明根據貸款文件採取任何行動所需的貸款人數量或貸款或承諾的比例;(Ix)允許對第8.03節進行任何更改;或(B)如果行政代理可以代表任何財務方實施本條款10.01所允許和批准的任何修改或豁免。, (C)考慮下列情況的任何修正或豁免:(I)該條款只涉及適用於某一類別貸款或貸款的權利或義務;及
(Ii)這不會對貸款人關於任何其他類別的貸款或貸款的權利或利益產生實質性和不利的影響,可根據本第10.01條作出,但在本第10.01條中,如提及特定比例的貸款人(爲免生疑問,包括每名受影響的貸款人),若非根據本第10.01(C)條,該項修訂或豁免即須獲得該比例貸款人的同意,方可參與該特定類別的貸款或貸款。(D)即使有第10.01條的任何其他規定,行政代理仍可隨時同意借款人對任何貸款文件進行任何修改,而無需貸款人的同意或批准;提供行政代理認爲(合理行事)該等修改:

(Ii)*任何此類修改應按行政代理合理決定的條款進行,對財務各方具有約束力,並應由行政代理在可行的情況下儘快通知財務各方。
67



(E)保留[保留]。
即使本條款10.01中有任何相反規定,在與本協議相關的情況下籤署的擔保、附帶擔保文件和相關文件可採用行政代理合理確定的形式,並可應借款人的請求在行政代理的同意下與本協議一起修改和放棄,而無需徵得任何其他貸款人的同意,前提是此類修改或放棄的交付是爲了(I)遵守當地法律或當地律師的建議,(Ii)消除含糊、遺漏或缺陷,或(Iii)導致此類保證,抵押品擔保文件或與本協議及其他貸款文件一致的其他文件。儘管本協議有任何相反規定,但如果行政代理應貸款方的要求向貸款人發送了對任何貸款文件任何條款的豁免或修改請求,則在收到該請求後十個工作日內(或在行政代理和借款人指定的其他期限內)未對該請求作出回應的每一貸款人應被排除在計算範圍之外,以確定是否批准了對該豁免或修改的必要同意。即使貸款文件中有任何相反規定,經任何貸款方同意,融資方可以放棄、放棄或以其他方式不可撤銷地放棄其在任何貸款文件下的全部或任何權利。

For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 10.04 shall not apply to Taxes, except any Taxes that represent costs and expenses arising from any non-Tax claim.
Section 10.05.    Indemnification by the Borrower.
Each Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the Security Trustee, each Agent-Related Person, each Lender, each Arranger, each Bookrunner and each of their respective Affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, partners, agents, advisors and other representatives of the foregoing (collectively the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs but limited in the case of legal fees and expenses to the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, disbursements and other charges of one counsel to all Indemnitees taken as a whole and, if reasonably necessary, one local counsel for all Indemnitees taken as a whole in each relevant jurisdiction, and solely in the case of a conflict of interest, one additional counsel in each relevant jurisdiction to the affected Indemnitees similarly situated) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of or in connection with (a) the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of any Loan Document or any other agreement, letter or instrument delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, (b) any Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or Alternative Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom including any refusal by an L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer, as applicable, to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit or Alternative Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or Alternative Letter of Credit, (c) any actual or alleged Environmental Liability of the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary thereof, or (d) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory (including any investigation of, preparation for, or defense of any pending or threatened claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding) (a “Proceeding”) and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto or whether or not such Proceeding is brought by any Borrower or any other Person and, in each case, whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the negligence of the Indemnitee; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such liabilities, losses, damages, claims or out-of-pocket expenses resulted from (i) the fraud, gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or of any of its Related Indemnified Persons, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, (ii) a material breach of any obligations under any Loan Document by such Indemnitee or of any of its Related Indemnified Persons, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (iii) any dispute solely among Indemnitees other than any claims against an Indemnitee in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as an administrative agent or arranger or any similar role under any Facility and other than any claims arising out of any act or omission of any Borrower or any of its Affiliates (as determined in a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of
140



competent jurisdiction). No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through IntraLinks or other similar information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement (except for direct (as opposed to indirect, special, punitive or consequential) damages resulting from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment, of any such Indemnitee), nor shall any Indemnitee, Related Indemnified Person, Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof have any liability for any special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the 2020 Amendment Effective Date) (other than, in the case of any Loan Party, in respect of any such damages incurred or paid by an Indemnitee to a third party, or which are included in a third-party claim, and for any out-of-pocket expenses related thereto). In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 10.05 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Loan Party, any Subsidiary thereof, its directors, stockholders or creditors or an Indemnitee or any other Person, whether or not any Indemnitee is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not any of the transactions contemplated hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents are consummated. All amounts due under this Section 10.05 shall be paid within ten days after written demand therefor (together with backup documentation supporting such reimbursement request); provided that such Indemnitee shall promptly refund such amount to the extent that there is a final judicial or arbitral determination that such Indemnitee was not entitled to indemnification rights with respect to such payment pursuant to the express terms of this Section 10.05. The agreements in this Section 10.05 shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 10.05 shall not apply to Taxes, except any Taxes that represent liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, prepayments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements arising from any non-Tax claims.
To the extent that any Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under this Section 10.05 or Section 10.04 to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), an L/C Issuer, an Alternative L/C Issuer or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), such L/C Issuer, such Alternative L/C Issuer or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), an L/C Issuer or an Alternative L/C Issuer in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this paragraph are subject to the provisions of Section 2.12(e).
Section 10.06.    Payments Set Aside.
To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of any Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer, any Alternative L/C Issuer or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer, any Alternative L/C Issuer or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent, such L/C Issuer, such Alternative L/C Issuer or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender, each L/C Issuer and each Alternative L/C Issuer severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect (or such other applicable daily interest rate as reasonably selected by the Administrative Agent). The obligations of the Lenders, L/C Issuers and Alternative L/C Issuers under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
Section 10.07.    Successors and Assigns.
141



(a)    The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Borrower nor any other Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (except as permitted by Section 5.01 of Annex II) and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Assignee pursuant to an assignment made in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(b) (such an assignee, an “Eligible Assignee”) and (A) in the case of any Assignee that, immediately prior to or upon giving effect to such assignment, is an Affiliated Lender, solely Section 10.07(k) or (B) in the case of any Assignee that is a Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, solely Section 2.05(a)(v) or Section 10.07(l), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(e), (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 10.07(g) or Section 10.07(i) or (iv) to an SPC in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(h) (each, a “New Lender”); provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender may assign or transfer by participation any of its rights or obligations hereunder (1) to any Person that is then a Defaulting Lender, (2) to a natural Person or, subject to Section 10.07(b), a Disqualified Institution or (3) where such rights and obligations relate to a Loan to a UK Borrower, to any Person that is not a UK Qualifying Lender. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 10.07(e), any sub-agents of the Administrative Agent or the Security Trustee, and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice to the Company of any request by a Lender to assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder to any Person that is on the Disqualified Institutions List or, to the extent it has knowledge, any Person that is an Affiliate of a Person on the Disqualified Institutions List; provided that the Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility or liability with respect to the Disqualified Institutions List or any assignments to any Disqualified Institution.
(b)    (i)    Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 10.07(a) and the conditions set forth in Section 10.07(b)(ii), any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (“Assignees”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans (including for purposes of this Section 10.07(b), participations in L/C Obligations and in Swing Line Loans) at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, except (x) in connection with a proposed assignment to any Disqualified Institution or (y) with respect to the consent of the Company for an assignment of a Revolving Credit Commitment or Revolving Credit Loan) of:
(A)    the Company; provided that no consent of the Company shall be required (1) for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, (2) for an assignment of, or related to, Revolving Credit Commitments or Revolving Credit Exposure if such assignment is to an entity which is a lender under any revolving credit facility for any member of the Restricted Group or the Wider Group, (3) other than with respect to any proposed assignment to any Person that is a Disqualified Institution, if an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) or, solely with respect to the applicable Borrower, Section 8.01(f) has occurred and is continuing, or (4) for an assignment of all or a portion of the Loans pursuant to Section 10.07(k) or Section 10.07(l); provided, further, that, other than with respect to any proposed assignment to any Person that is a Disqualified Institution, the Company shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment of, or related to, Term Loans unless it shall have objected thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 15 Business Days after having received notice thereof;
(B)    the Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of all or a portion of the Loans pursuant to Section 10.07(k) or Section 10.07(l);
(C)    each applicable L/C Issuer at the time of such assignment; provided that no consent of the applicable L/C Issuer shall be required for any assignment of Term Loans or Term Commitments, any assignment of Revolving Credit Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments that are not Participating Revolving Credit Commitments with respect to such L/C Issuer, or any assignment to the Administrative Agent or an Arranger or Bookrunner or an Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or an Arranger or Bookrunner; and
142



(D)    each applicable Swing Line Lender; provided that no consent of a Swing Line Lender shall be required for any assignment of Term Loans or Term Commitments, any assignment of Revolving Credit Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments that are not Participating Revolving Credit Commitments with respect to such Swing Line Lender, or any assignment to the Administrative Agent or an Arranger or Bookrunner or an Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or an Arranger or Bookrunner;
provided that, to the extent contemplated by any Intercreditor Agreement, the Assignee shall have entered into any documentation required for it to accede as a party to such Intercreditor Agreement in the relevant capacity (which documentation may include an Assignment and Assumption to the extent the relevant accession provisions are included therein).
Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth herein, to the extent any Lender is required to assign any portion of its Commitments, Loans and other rights, duties and obligations hereunder in order to comply with applicable Laws, such assignment may be made by such Lender without the consent of the Company, the Administrative Agent, any applicable L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer, any applicable Swing Line Lender or any other party hereto so long as such Lender complies with the requirements of Section 10.07(b)(ii); provided that to the extent applicable Laws do not require any Lender to assign any portion of its Commitments, Loans and other rights, duties and obligations hereunder to any specific Person, the Company, the Administrative Agent, any applicable L/C Issuer, any applicable Alternative L/C Issuer, any applicable Swing Line Lender or any other party hereto shall maintain any consent rights pursuant to this Section 10.07(b)(i).
(ii)    Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:
(A)    except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than an amount of $5,000,000 in the case of Revolving Credit Commitments or Revolving Credit Loans and $1,000,000 in the case of Term Loans or Term Commitments unless each of the Company and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent; provided that such assignments shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its Affiliates or Approved Funds, if any;
(B)    unless otherwise consented to in writing by the Company, no Lender shall be entitled to effect any assignment or transfer which would result in the Assignee holding an aggregate participation of more than zero but less than (1) $5,000,000 in relation to any Revolving Credit Loan or Revolving Credit Commitment or (2) $1,000,000 in relation to any Term Loan or Term Commitment;
(C)    in relation to its Revolving Credit Loans and Revolving Credit Commitments (unless otherwise consented to in writing by the Company), no Lender shall be entitled to effect any assignment or transfer other than to the extent such transfers and assignments are on a pro rata basis as between the relevant Lender’s Revolving Credit Loans and Revolving Credit Commitments under each Class under which it is a Lender;
(D)    the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (unless waived or reduced by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion); and
(E)    other than in the case of assignments pursuant to Section 10.07(l), the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.
This Section 10.07(b) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate Facilities on a non-pro rata basis among such Facilities.
In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein,
143



the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Company and the Administrative Agent, the applicable Pro Rata Share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (1) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (2) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full Pro Rata Share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata Share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.
(c)    Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.07(d), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, (i) other than in connection with an assignment pursuant to Section 10.07(l), the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement; provided that an Assignee will not be eligible for benefits under Sections 3.01, 3.02, 3.04 or 3.09 where the relevant payment under Sections 3.01, 3.02, 3.04 or 3.09, as applicable, is required as a result of circumstances existing on the effective date of the Assignment and Assumption, to the extent such benefits would not have been available to the assignor had the assignor remained a Lender, and (ii) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, 10.04 and 10.05 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Upon request, and the surrender by the assigning Lender of its Note, the applicable Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender; provided that, except as otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.07(c) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 10.07(e).
(d)    The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption, each Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption delivered to it, and each notice of cancellation of any Loans delivered by the Company pursuant to Section 10.07(k) or Section 10.07(l) and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and related interest amounts) of the Loans, L/C Obligations (specifying the Unreimbursed Amounts and the Drawn Amounts thereof), L/C Borrowings, Alternative L/C Borrowings and the amounts due under Section 2.03, owing to each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrowers and the Finance Parties shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company, and any Finance Party, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. This Section 10.07(d) and Section 2.11 shall be construed so that all Loans are at all times maintained in 「registered form」 within the meaning of Section 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any related United States Department of the Treasury Regulations (or any other relevant or successor provisions of the Code or of such United States Department of the Treasury Regulations). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Administrative Agent be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender is an Affiliated Lender nor shall the Administrative Agent be obligated to monitor the aggregate amount of Term Loans held by Affiliated Lenders.
(e)    Subject to Section 10.07(f), any Lender, without consent of, or notice to, the Company or the Administrative Agent, may at any time sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, any Borrower or any Borrower’s Affiliate or its Subsidiaries, a Disqualified Institution or a Defaulting Lender) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement
144



(including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Company, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in clauses (i) through (x) of the first proviso to Section 10.01 that requires the affirmative vote of such Lender. Subject to Section 10.07(f), the Company agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05 and 3.09 to the same extent as if it were a Lender (subject, for the avoidance of doubt, to the limitations and requirements of those Sections (including Section 3.01(d)) applying to each Participant as if it were a Lender, and it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.01(d) shall be delivered to the Discount Prepayment Participating Lender) and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.07(c). To the extent permitted by applicable Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.09 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. The portion of any Participant Register relating to any Participant requesting payment from the applicable Borrower or seeking to exercise its rights under Section 10.09 shall be available for inspection by the applicable Borrower upon reasonable request to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Department of the Treasury Regulations, or is otherwise required thereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register or with respect to the sale of participations to any Person that is a Disqualified Institution.
(f)    If:
(i)    a Lender assigns or transfers any participation to a Participant or changes its Lending Office; and
(ii)    as a result of circumstances existing at the date of the assignment or transfer or change, a Loan Party would be obliged to make a payment to the Participant or Lender acting through its new Lending Office under Section 3.01, 3.02, 3.03 or 3.09,
then the Participant or Lender acting through its new Lending Office shall only be entitled to receive payment under those Sections to the same extent as the Participant or Lender acting through its existing Lending Office would have been if the assignment, transfer or change had not occurred. This Section 10.07(f) shall not apply to: (a) an assignment or transfer in the ordinary course of primary syndication of the Loans or (b) in relation to Section 3.02(c) or (d), to a new lender that has included a confirmation of its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with Section 3.03(c)(i) or (ii) and such Loan Party making the payment has not filed a form DTTP2 with HMRC in respect of that new lender within 30 days following the date of the Assignment and Assumption or Increase Confirmation (as applicable).
(g)    Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any other central bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
145



(h)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers (an “SPC”) the option to provide all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Loan, (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to make all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof and (iii) such SPC and the applicable Loan or any applicable part thereof, shall be appropriately reflected in the Participant Register. Each party hereto hereby agrees that (A) an SPC shall be entitled to the benefit of Sections 3.01, 3.02, 3.04, 3.05 and 3.09 (subject to the requirements and the limitations of such Sections and it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.01(d) shall be delivered to the Granting Lender), but neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement except, in the case of Section 3.01, to the extent that the grant to the SPC was made with the prior written consent of the Company (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that for the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall have a reasonable basis for withholding consent if an exercise by an SPC immediately after the grant would result in materially increased indemnification obligation to the Company at such time), (B) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender would be liable, and (C) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Loan Document, remain the Lender hereunder. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any SPC may (1) with notice to, but without prior consent of the Company and the Administrative Agent and with the payment of a processing fee of $3,500, assign all or any portion of its right to receive payment with respect to any Loan to the Granting Lender and (2) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC. If a Granting Lender grants an option to an SPC as described herein and such grant is not reflected in the Register, the Granting Lender shall maintain a separate register on which it records the name and address of each SPC and the principal amounts (and related interest) of each SPC’s interest with respect to the Loans, Commitments or other interests hereunder, which entries shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose any portion of such register to any Person except to the extent disclosure is necessary to establish that the Loans, Commitments or other interests hereunder are in registered form for United States federal income tax purposes.
(i)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, without the consent of the Company or the Administrative Agent, (i) any Lender may in accordance with applicable Law create a security interest in all or any portion of the Loans owing to it and any Note held by it and (ii) any Lender that is a fund may create a security interest in all or any portion of the Loans owing to it and any Note held by it to the trustee for holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such fund as security for such obligations or securities; provided that unless and until such trustee actually becomes a Lender in compliance with the other provisions of this Section 10.07, (A) no such pledge shall release the pledging Lender from any of its obligations under the Loan Documents and (B) such trustee shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a Lender under the Loan Documents even though such trustee may have acquired ownership rights with respect to the pledged interest through foreclosure or otherwise.
(j)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any L/C Issuer, any Alternative L/C Issuer or any Swing Line Lender may, upon 30 days’ notice to the Company and the Lenders, resign as an L/C Issuer, Alternative L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, respectively; provided that on or prior to the expiration of such 30-day period with respect to such resignation, the relevant L/C Issuer, Alternative L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender shall have identified a successor L/C Issuer, Alternative L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender reasonably acceptable to the Company willing to accept its appointment as successor L/C Issuer, Alternative L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as applicable. In the event of any such resignation of an L/C Issuer, Alternative L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, the Company shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders willing to accept such appointment a successor L/C Issuer, Alternative L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided that no failure by the Company to appoint any such successor or by the relevant L/C Issuer, Alternative L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender to designate any such successor shall affect the resignation of the relevant L/C Issuer, Alternative L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, except as expressly provided above. If an L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer resigns as an L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the
146



rights and obligations of an L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit or Alternative Letters of Credit, as applicable, outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as an L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c)). If a Swing Line Lender resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of a Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c).
(k)    Any Lender may at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations with respect to Term Loans under this Agreement to a Person who is or will become, after such assignment, an Affiliated Lender solely through (x) Dutch auctions or other offers to purchase or take by assignment open to all Lenders on a pro rata basis (including in accordance with the procedures described in Section 2.05(a)(v) or as otherwise approved by the Administrative Agent) or (y) open market purchase on a non-pro rata basis, in each case subject to the following limitations:
(i)    the assigning Lender and the Affiliated Lender purchasing such Lender’s Term Loans shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an assignment agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit H hereto (an “Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption”);
(ii)    Affiliated Lenders will not receive information provided solely to Lenders by the Administrative Agent or any Lender and will not be permitted to attend or participate in conference calls or meetings attended solely by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, other than the right to receive notices of prepayments and other administrative notices in respect of its Loans or Commitments required to be delivered to Lenders pursuant to Article II;
(iii)    (A) each Affiliated Lender that purchases any Term Loans pursuant to clause (x) above shall represent and warrant to the selling Lender and the Administrative Agent (other than any other Affiliated Lender), or shall make a statement that such representation cannot be made, that it does not possess material non-public information with respect to the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries or the securities of any of them that has not been disclosed to the Term Lenders generally (other than Term Lenders who elect not to receive such information) and (B) each Lender (other than any other Affiliated Lender) that assigns any Term Loans to an Affiliated Lender pursuant to clause (y) above shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Company a customary Big Boy Letter;
(iv)    the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans held at any one time by Affiliated Lenders shall not exceed 30% of the principal amount of all Term Loans at such time outstanding (such percentage, the “Affiliated Lender Cap”); provided that to the extent any assignment to an Affiliated Lender would result in the aggregate principal amount of all Loans held by Affiliated Lenders exceeding the Affiliated Lender Cap, the assignment of such excess amount will be void ab initio; provided, further, that such cap shall not apply to Loans assigned to Affiliated Lenders where the assignment is in relation to a Qualifying Assignment; and
(v)    as a condition to each assignment pursuant to this Section 10.07(k), the Administrative Agent and the Company shall have been provided a notice in the form of Exhibit E-2 to this Agreement in connection with each assignment to an Affiliated Lender or a Person that upon effectiveness of such assignment would constitute an Affiliated Lender pursuant to which such Affiliated Lender shall waive any right to bring any action in connection with such Term Loans against the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as such.
Each Affiliated Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent promptly (and in any event within ten Business Days) if it acquires any Person who is also a Lender, and each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent promptly (and in any event within ten Business Days) if it becomes an Affiliated Lender. Such notice shall contain the type of information required and be delivered to the same addressee as set forth in Exhibit E-2.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Affiliated Lender that has purchased Term Loans pursuant to this Section 10.07(k) may, in its sole discretion, contribute, directly or indirectly, the
147



principal amount of such Term Loans, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon (except to the extent owing to or for the account of any direct or indirect assignor Lender), to the relevant Borrower for the purpose of cancelling and extinguishing such Term Loans. Upon the date of such contribution, assignment or transfer, (A) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of Term Loans of the relevant Class shall reflect such cancellation and extinguishing of such Term Loans and (B) the relevant Borrower shall promptly provide notice to the Administrative Agent of such contribution of such Term Loans, and the Administrative Agent, upon receipt of such notice, shall reflect the cancellation of such Term Loans in the Register.
(l)    Any Lender may, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations with respect to Term Loans under this Agreement to a Loan Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries solely through (x) Dutch auctions or other offers to purchase open to all Lenders on a pro rata basis (including in accordance with procedures of the type described in Section 2.05(a)(v)) or (y) notwithstanding Sections 2.12 and 2.13 or any other provision in this Agreement, open market purchase on a non-pro rata basis; provided that:
(i)    upon such assignment, transfer or contribution, such Loan Party or Subsidiary shall automatically be deemed to have contributed the principal amount of such Term Loans, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, to a Borrower; and
(ii)    (A) the principal amount of such Term Loans, along with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon (except to the extent owing to or for the account of any direct or indirect assignor Lender), so contributed, assigned or transferred to a Borrower shall be deemed automatically cancelled and extinguished on the date of such contribution, assignment or transfer, (B) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of Term Loans of the relevant Class shall reflect such cancellation and extinguishing of such Term Loans and (C) such Borrower shall promptly provide notice to the Administrative Agent of such contribution, assignment or transfer of such Term Loans, and the Administrative Agent, upon receipt of such notice, shall reflect the cancellation of such Term Loans in the Register.
(m)    Notwithstanding anything in Section 10.01 or the definitions of 「Required Lenders」 or 「Required Class Lenders」 to the contrary, for purposes of determining whether the Required Lenders and Required Class Lenders (in respect of a Class of Term Loans) have (i) consented (or not consented) to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Loan Document or any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, or subject to Section 10.07(n), any plan of reorganization pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document, or (iii) directed or required the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Loan Document, no Affiliated Lender shall have any right to consent (or not consent), otherwise act or direct or require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to take (or refrain from taking) any such action, and all Term Loans held by any Affiliated Lenders shall be deemed to be not outstanding for all purposes of calculating whether the Required Lenders, Required Class Lenders (in respect of a Class of Term Loans) or all Lenders have taken any actions, except that no amendment, modification or waiver of any Loan Document shall, without the consent of the applicable Affiliated Lender, deprive any Affiliated Lender of its Pro Rata Share of any payment to which all Lenders of the applicable Class of Term Loans are entitled or affect an Affiliated Lender in a manner that is disproportionate to the effect on any Lender of the same Class of Term Loans.
(n)    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, each Affiliated Lender hereby agrees that (and each Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption shall provide a confirmation that) if a proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law shall be commenced by or against any Loan Party at a time when such Affiliated Lender is a Lender, such Affiliated Lender irrevocably authorizes and empowers the Administrative Agent to vote on behalf of such Affiliated Lender with respect to the Term Loans held by such Affiliated Lender in a manner such that all Affiliated Lenders will be deemed to vote in the same proportion as Lenders that are not Affiliated Lenders, unless the Administrative Agent instructs such Affiliated Lender to vote, in which case such Affiliated Lender shall vote with respect to the Term Loans held by it in order to provide that all Affiliated Lenders will be deemed to vote in the same proportion as Lenders that are not Affiliated Lenders; provided that such Affiliated Lender shall be entitled to vote in accordance with its sole discretion (and not in accordance with the direction of the Administrative Agent) in connection with any plan of reorganization to the extent any such plan of reorganization proposes to treat any Obligations held by such
148



Affiliated Lender in a manner that has a disproportionate effect on such Affiliated Lender as compared to the proposed treatment of similar Obligations held by Term Lenders that are not Affiliated Lenders.
(o)    [Reserved].
(p)    The aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Term Loans of the applicable Class shall be deemed reduced by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans purchased by, or contributed to (in each case, and immediately cancelled hereunder), any Borrower pursuant to Section 10.07(k) or (l) and the principal repayment instalments with respect to the Term Loans of such Class pursuant to Section 2.07(a)(i) shall be reduced pro rata by the par value of the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans so purchased or contributed (and subsequently cancelled), with such reduction being applied solely to the Term Loans of the Lenders which sold such Term Loans.
Section 10.08.    Confidentiality.
Each of the Finance Parties agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information, except that Information may be disclosed: (a) to its Affiliates and its and its Affiliates’ managers, administrators, directors, officers, employees, trustees, partners, investors, investment advisors and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors and loan syndication service providers (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential); (b) to the extent requested by any Governmental Authority or self-regulatory authority having or asserting jurisdiction over such Person (including any Governmental Authority regulating any Lender or its Affiliates); provided that the applicable Finance Party agrees that it will notify the Company prior to any such disclosure by such Person to the extent practicable (other than at the request of a regulatory authority or any self-regulatory authority having or asserting jurisdiction over such Person) unless such notification is prohibited by law, rule or regulation; (c) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; provided that the applicable Finance Party agrees that it will notify the Company as soon as practicable in the event of any such disclosure by such Person (other than at the request of a regulatory authority or any self-regulatory authority having or asserting jurisdiction over such Person) unless such notification is prohibited by law, rule or regulation; (d) to any other party to this Agreement; (e) subject to an agreement containing provisions at least as restrictive as those of this Section 10.08 (or as may otherwise be reasonably acceptable to the Company), to any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or any Eligible Assignee invited to be an Additional Lender, any pledgee referred to in Section 10.07(g), or any actual or prospective direct or indirect counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrowers and their obligations, or any provider of credit insurance relating to the Borrowers and their obligations; (f) with the written consent of the Company; (g) to the extent such Information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.08 by such Finance Party or becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, any Lender, any L/C Issuer, any Alternative L/C Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates on a non-confidential basis from a source other than a Loan Party or their respective Affiliates (so long as such source is not known to the Administrative Agent, such Arranger, such Lender, such L/C Issuer, such Alternative L/C Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates to be bound by confidentiality obligations to any Loan Party); (h) to any rating agency when required by it on a customary basis and after consultation with the Company (it being understood that, prior to any such disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake to preserve the confidentiality of any Information relating to Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries received by it from such Lender); (i) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder, under any other Loan Document or the enforcement of its rights hereunder or thereunder; or (j) to the extent such Information is independently developed by such Person or its Affiliates so long as not based on Information obtained in a manner that would otherwise violate this Section 10.08.
For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof relating to any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof or their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any other Finance Party on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.08 by such Finance Party; provided that all information received after the 2020 Amendment Effective Date from the Loan Parties or any of their Subsidiaries shall be deemed confidential unless such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as not being confidential.
149



Each of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers, the Alternative L/C Issuers and the Lenders acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning the Loan Parties or any of their Subsidiaries, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law, including United States Federal and state securities Laws.
Section 10.09.    Setoff.
In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender and its Affiliates (and the Administrative Agent, in respect of any unpaid fees, costs and expenses payable hereunder) is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Company, any such notice being waived by each Borrower (on its own behalf and on behalf of each Loan Party and each of its Subsidiaries) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held by, and other Indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender and its Affiliates or the Administrative Agent to or for the credit or the account of the respective Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries against any and all Obligations (other than, with respect to any Guarantor, Excluded Swap Obligations of such Guarantor) owing to such Lender and its Affiliates or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not the Administrative Agent or such Lender or Affiliate shall have made demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable deposit or Indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (a) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.17 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers, the Alternative L/C Issuers and the Lenders, and (b) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent after any such set off and application made by such Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of the Administrative Agent and each Lender under this Section 10.09 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that the Administrative Agent and such Lender may have at Law.
Section 10.10.    Interest Rate Limitation.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent, an Arranger or a Bookrunner or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the relevant Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or such Arranger, Bookrunner or Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.
Section 10.11.    Counterparts; Electronic Execution of Assignments and Certain Other Documents.
This Agreement and each other Loan Document may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery by telecopier, .pdf or other electronic imaging means of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement and each other Loan Document shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement and such other Loan Document. The Administrative Agent may also require that any such documents and signatures delivered by telecopier, .pdf or other electronic imaging means be confirmed by a manually signed original thereof; provided that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any document or signature delivered by telecopier, .pdf or other electronic imaging means.
150



The words 「execution,」 「signed,」 「signature,」 and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption or in any amendment or other modification hereof (including waivers and consents) shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.
Section 10.12.    Integration; Termination.
This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on such subject matter. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof.
Section 10.13.    Survival of Representations and Warranties.
All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied (other than Obligations under Secured Hedge Agreements, Treasury Services Agreements or contingent indemnification obligations, in any such case, not then due and payable) or any Letter of Credit or Alternative Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding (unless the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations related thereto has been Cash Collateralized or back-stopped by a letter of credit reasonably satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer such Letter of Credit or Alternative Letter of Credit has been deemed reissued under another agreement reasonably acceptable to the applicable L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer).
Section 10.14.    Severability.
If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.14, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers, the Alternative L/C Issuers or the Swing Line Lenders, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.
Section 10.15.    GOVERNING LAW; FORUM; PROCESS AGENT.
(a)    THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT (OTHER THAN AS SET FORTH IN THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS) SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

EACH LOAN PARTY, EACH AGENT AND EACH LENDER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH JURISDICTION IN RESPECT OF ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR OTHER DOCUMENT RELATED THERETO. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENTS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES (OTHER THAN TELECOPIER) IN SECTION 10.02. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
(c)    EACH LOAN PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY (I) AGREES THAT SERVICE OF ALL WRITS, PROCESS AND SUMMONSES IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK MAY BE MADE UPON THE ORIGINAL CO-BORROWER (IN SUCH CAPACITY, THE “PROCESS AGENT”) AND EACH OTHER LOAN PARTY HEREBY CONFIRMS AND AGREES THAT THE PROCESS AGENT HAS BEEN DULY AND IRREVOCABLY APPOINTED AS ITS RESPECTIVE AGENT TO ACCEPT SUCH SERVICE OF ANY AND ALL SUCH WRITS, PROCESSES AND SUMMONSES, AND AGREES THAT THE FAILURE OF THE PROCESS AGENT TO GIVE ANY NOTICE OF ANY SUCH SERVICE OF PROCESS TO THE OTHER BORROWERS OR ANY OTHER LOAN PARTY SHALL NOT IMPAIR OR AFFECT THE VALIDITY OF SUCH SERVICE OR OF ANY JUDGMENT BASED THEREON.

EACH OF THE OTHER BORROWERS AND EACH OTHER LOAN PARTY HEREBY FURTHER CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY THE MAILING THEREOF BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, AT ITS NOTICE ADDRESS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, AND (II) AGREES THAT NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT TO EFFECT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW, OR SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT TO SUE IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.
Section 10.16.    WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.
EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).

Each Lender that is subject to the USA Patriot Act and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name, address and tax identification number of such Loan Party and other information regarding such Loan Party that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the USA Patriot Act. This notice is given in accordance with the requirements of the USA Patriot Act and is effective as to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent.

If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent from the Borrowers in the Agreement Currency, the Borrowers agree, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or the Person to whom such obligation was owing against such loss.

Section 10.24.    Continuing Obligations.

Section 10.25.    Waiver of Immunities.
Each of the Loan Parties acknowledges and agrees that the activities contemplated by the provisions of the Loan Documents are commercial in nature rather than governmental or public and therefore acknowledges and agrees that such Loan Party is not entitled to any right of immunity on the grounds of sovereignty or otherwise with respect to such activities or in any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Loan Documents. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, each Loan Party, in respect of itself, its process agents and its properties (including its Subsidiaries) and revenues, expressly and irrevocably waives any such right of immunity which may now or hereafter exist (including any immunity from the jurisdiction of any court or from any suit, execution, attachment (whether provisional or final, in aid of execution, prior to judgment or
157



otherwise) or other legal process (including in any jurisdiction where immunity (whether or not claimed) may be attributed to it or its assets)) or claim thereto which may now or hereafter exist and irrevocably agrees not to assert any such right or claim of immunity in any such action or proceeding to the fullest extent permitted now or in the future by the Laws of any such jurisdiction. The Loan Parties agree that the waivers set forth in this Section 10.24 shall have the fullest effect permitted under applicable Law, including the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 of the United States of America (28 U.S.C. §§1602-1611) (the 「FSIA」), and are intended to be irrevocable and not subject to withdrawal for purposes of the FSIA.

ARTICLE XI
GUARANTEE
Section 11.01.    The Guaranty
Each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally irrevocably with the other Guarantors guarantees, as a primary obligor and not as a surety, to each Secured Party and their respective successors and assigns, the prompt payment in full when due (whether at Stated Maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, demand, by acceleration or otherwise) of the principal of and interest (including any interest, fees, costs or charges that would accrue but for the provisions of (i) the Bankruptcy Code after any bankruptcy or insolvency petition under the Bankruptcy Code and (ii) any other Debtor Relief Laws) on the Loans made by the Lenders to, and the Notes held by each Lender of, the Borrower, and all other Obligations (excluding, with respect to any Guarantor, any Excluded Swap Obligations of such Guarantor) from time to time owing to the Secured Parties by any Loan Party under any Loan Document or any Secured Hedge Agreement or any Treasury Services Agreement, in each case strictly in accordance with the terms thereof (such obligations being herein collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree that if the Borrowers or other Guarantor(s) shall fail to pay in full when due (whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Guarantors will promptly pay the same in cash, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal.
Section 11.02.    Obligations Unconditional.
The obligations of the Guarantors under Section 11.01 shall constitute a guaranty of payment and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, are absolute, irrevocable and unconditional, joint and several, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement, the Notes, if any, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or Guarantor (except for termination or release of a Guarantor’s obligations hereunder in accordance with the terms of Section 11.09). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law and except for termination or release of a Guarantor’s obligations hereunder in accordance with the terms of Section 11.09, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of the Guarantors hereunder which shall remain absolute, irrevocable and unconditional under any and all circumstances as described above:
(a)    at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Guarantors, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;
(b)    any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of this Agreement or the Notes, if any, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be done or omitted;
(c)    the maturity of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be amended in any respect, or any right under the Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be amended or waived in any respect or any other
158



guarantee of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or except as permitted pursuant to Section 11.09, any security therefor shall be released or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with;
(d)    any Lien or security interest granted to, or in favor of, an L/C Issuer, an Alternative L/C Issuer, any Lender or the Security Trustee shall fail to be perfected;
(e)    the release of any other Guarantor pursuant to Section 11.09; or
(f)    any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be determined to be void or voidable (including for the benefit of any creditor of any Guarantor) or shall be subordinated to the claims of any Person (including any creditor of any Guarantor).
The Guarantors hereby expressly waive diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that any Secured Party exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against the Borrowers under this Agreement or the Notes, if any, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations. The Guarantors waive, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension, waiver, termination or accrual of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by any Secured Party upon this guarantee or acceptance of this guarantee, and the Guaranteed Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon this guarantee, and all dealings between the Borrowers and the Secured Parties shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this guarantee. This guarantee shall be construed as a continuing, absolute, irrevocable and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to any right of offset with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations at any time or from time to time held by Secured Parties, and the obligations and liabilities of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be conditioned or contingent upon the pursuit by the Secured Parties or any other Person at any time of any right or remedy against the Borrowers or against any other Person which may be or become liable in respect of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or against any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto. This guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and be binding in accordance with and to the extent of its terms upon the Guarantors and the successors and assigns thereof, and shall inure to the benefit of the Lenders, and their respective successors and assigns, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of this Agreement there may be no Guaranteed Obligations outstanding.
Section 11.03.    Reinstatement.
The obligations of the Guarantors under this Article XI shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of the Borrowers or other Loan Party in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise. Each Guarantor agrees that it will indemnify the Secured Parties and each holder of the Guaranteed Obligations in connection with such rescission or restoration including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under Debtor Relief Law.
Section 11.04.    Subrogation; Subordination.
Each Guarantor hereby agrees that until the irrevocable payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations and the expiration and termination of the Commitments of the Lenders under this Agreement it shall waive any claim and shall not exercise any right or remedy, direct or indirect, arising by reason of any performance by it of its guarantee in Section 11.01, whether by subrogation or otherwise, against the Borrowers or any other Guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations.
Section 11.05.    Remedies.
The Guarantors jointly and severally agree that, as between the Guarantors and the Lenders, the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement and the Notes, if any, may be declared to be forthwith due
159



and payable as provided in Section 8.02 (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Section 8.02) for purposes of Section 11.01, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or such obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against the Borrowers and that, in the event of such declaration (or such obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such obligations (whether or not due and payable by the Borrower) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for purposes of Section 11.01.
Section 11.06.    Instrument for the Payment of Money.
Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges that the guarantee in this Article XI constitutes an instrument for the payment of money, and consents and agrees that any Lender or the Administrative Agent, at its sole option, in the event of a dispute by such Guarantor in the payment of any moneys due hereunder, shall have the right to bring a motion-action under New York CPLR Section 3213.
Section 11.07.    Continuing Guarantee.
The guarantee in this Article XI is a continuing guarantee of payment and not of collection, and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising.
Section 11.08.    General Limitation on Guarantee Obligations.
In any action or proceeding involving any state corporate limited partnership or limited liability company law, or any applicable state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other applicable Law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Guarantor under Section 11.01 would otherwise be held or determined to be void, voidable, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under Section 11.01, then, notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Guarantor, any Loan Party or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount (after giving effect to the right of contribution established in Section 11.10) that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.
Section 11.09.    Release of Guarantors.
(a)    If, in compliance with the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents (and subject to the terms of any applicable Intercreditor Agreement):
(i)    any Guarantor ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary or a Permitted Affiliate Parent pursuant to a transaction or designation permitted by this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, a Permitted Affiliate Parent Release or an Affiliate Subsidiary Release);

160



(vi)    a Guarantor is released from its obligations under the Loan Documents as a result of a transaction permitted by, and in compliance with, the covenant set forth in Section 5.01 of Annex II; provided that such Guarantor is not under any present obligation or claim to pay principal and/or interest on the Facilities at such time;

(b)    If a Guaranty has been provided by an Additional Guarantor as required under Section 4.15 of Annex II as a result of its guarantee of other Indebtedness of the Restricted Group, then such Guaranty shall be automatically released (subject to the terms of the applicable Intercreditor Agreement) upon the release or discharge of such Additional Guarantor from such guarantee of other Indebtedness so long as no other Indebtedness that would give rise to the obligation to provide such Guaranty is at the time guaranteed by such Additional Guarantor. In addition, if an Additional Guarantor resigns in accordance with Section 10.22, then the Guaranty of such Additional Guarantor shall be automatically released.
(c)    Subject to Section 11.09(a) and Section 11.09(b), the guarantees made herein shall remain in full force and effect so long as any Lender shall have any Commitment hereunder, or any Loan or any other Obligation remains outstanding (other than (i) contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been asserted and (ii) obligations under Treasury Services Agreements or obligations under Secured Hedge Agreements as to which arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Hedge Bank have been made) hereunder which is accrued and payable shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied, or any Letter of Credit or Alternative Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding (unless the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations related thereto has been Cash Collateralized or back-stopped by a letter of credit reasonably satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer, as applicable, or such Letter of Credit or Alternative Letter of Credit has been deemed reissued under another agreement reasonably acceptable to the applicable L/C Issuer or Alternative L/C Issuer, as applicable).

Each Guarantor’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 11.04. The provisions of this Section 11.10 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor to the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers, the Alternative L/C Issuers, the Swing Line Lenders and the Lenders,
161



and each Guarantor shall remain liable to the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers, the Alternative L/C Issuers, the Swing Line Lenders and the Lenders for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder.
Section 11.11.    Keepwell.
Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally, and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Loan Party to honor all of its obligations under this Guaranty in respect of any Swap Obligation (provided that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 11.11 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 11.11, or otherwise under this Guaranty, voidable under applicable Law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 11.11 shall remain in full force and effect until the payment in full and discharge of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 11.11 constitute, and this Section 11.11 shall be deemed to constitute, a 「keepwell, support, or other agreement」 for the benefit of each other Guarantor for all purposes of section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.
Section 11.12.    No Marshalling.
Except to the extent required by applicable Law, neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party will be required to marshal any collateral securing, or any guaranties of, the Guaranteed Obligations, or to resort to any item of collateral or any guaranty in any particular order, and the Secured Parties’ rights with respect to any collateral and guaranties will be cumulative and in addition to all other rights, however existing or arising. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Guarantor irrevocably waives, and agrees that it will not invoke or assert, any Law requiring or relating to the marshalling of collateral or guaranties or any other Law which might cause a delay in or impede the enforcement of the Secured Parties’ rights under this guarantee or any other agreement.
Section 11.13.    Election of Remedies.
Each Guarantor understands that the exercise by the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties of certain rights and remedies contained in the Loan Documents may affect or eliminate the Guarantor’s right of subrogation and reimbursement against the Loan Parties and that the Guarantor may therefore incur a partially or totally nonreimbursable liability under this guarantee. The Guarantors expressly authorize the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties to pursue their rights and remedies with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations in any order or fashion they deem appropriate, in their sole and absolute discretion, and waives any defense arising out of the absence, impairment, or loss of any or all rights of recourse, reimbursement, contribution, exoneration or subrogation or any other rights or remedies of the Guarantors against the Borrower, any other person or any security, whether resulting from any election of rights or remedies by the Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties, or otherwise.
Section 11.14.    Administrative Agent’s Duties.
The grant to the Administrative Agent under this guarantee of any right or power does not impose upon the Administrative Agent any duty to exercise that right or power.
Section 11.15.    Guarantor Intent.
Without prejudice to the generality of Section 11.13, and subject to applicable Law restrictions, each Guarantor expressly confirms that it intends that this Guaranty shall extend from time to time to any (however fundamental) variation, increase, extension or addition of or to the Obligations, including for the purposes of or in connection with any of the following: business acquisitions of any nature; increasing working capital; enabling investor distributions to be made; carrying out restructurings; refinancing existing facilities; refinancing any other indebtedness; making facilities available to new borrowers; any other variation or extension of the purposes for which any such facility or amount might be made available from time to time; and any fees, costs and/or expenses associated with any of the foregoing.
Section 11.16.    Joint and Several Liability .
162



All Loans, upon funding, shall be deemed to be jointly funded to and received by the Borrowers. Each Borrower is jointly and severally liable under this Agreement for all Obligations, regardless of the manner or amount in which proceeds of Loans are used, allocated, shared or disbursed by or among the Borrowers themselves, or the manner in which any Lender or other Finance Party accounts for such Loans or other extensions of credit on its books and records. Each Borrower shall be liable for all amounts due to any Lender or other Finance Party from the Borrowers under this Agreement, regardless of which Borrower actually receives Loans or other extensions of credit hereunder or the amount of such Loans and extensions of credit received or the manner in which such Lender or other Finance Party accounts for such Loans or other extensions of credit on its books and records. Each Borrower’s Obligations with respect to Loans and other extensions of credit made to it, and such Borrower’s Obligations arising as a result of the joint and several liability of such Borrower hereunder with respect to Loans made to, and Letters of Credit issued for the account of, the other Borrowers hereunder shall be separate and distinct obligations, but all such Obligations shall be primary obligations of such Borrower. The Borrowers acknowledge and expressly agree with each Lender and other Finance Party that the joint and several liability of each Borrower is required solely as a condition to, and is given solely as inducement for and in consideration of, credit or accommodations extended or to be extended under the Loan Documents to any or all of the other Borrowers and is not required or given as a condition of extensions of credit to such Borrower. Each Borrower’s Obligations under this Agreement shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be unconditional irrespective of (i) the validity or enforceability, avoidance, or subordination of the Obligations of any other Borrower or of any promissory note or other document evidencing all or any part of the Obligations of any other Borrower, (ii) the absence of any attempt to collect the Obligations from any other Borrower, or any other security therefor, or the absence of any other action to enforce the same, (iii) the waiver, consent, extension, forbearance, or granting of any indulgence by an any Lender or other Finance Party with respect to any provision of any instrument evidencing the Obligations of any other Borrower, or any part thereof, or any other agreement executed as of the 2020 Amendment Effective Date or thereafter executed by any other Borrower and delivered to any Lender or other Finance Party, (iv) the failure by any Lender or other Finance Party to take any steps to perfect and maintain its security interest in, or to preserve its rights to, any security or collateral for the Obligations of any other Borrower, (v) any Lender’s or other Finance Party’s election, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, (vi) any borrowing or grant of a security interest by any other Borrower, as debtor-in-possession under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code, (vii) the disallowance of all or any portion of any Lender’s or other Finance Party’s claim(s) for the repayment of the Obligations of any other Borrower under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, or (viii) any other circumstances which might constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor or of any other Borrower. With respect to any Borrower’s Obligations arising as a result of the joint and several liability of the Borrowers hereunder with respect to any Loans or other extensions of credit made to any of the other Borrowers hereunder, such Borrower waives, until the Obligations shall have been paid in full and this Agreement shall have been terminated, any right to enforce any right of subrogation or any remedy which any Lender or other Finance Party had as of the 2020 Amendment Effective Date or may have thereafter against any other Borrower, any endorser or any guarantor of all or any part of the Obligations, and any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to any Lender or other Finance Party to secure payment of the Obligations or any other liability of any Borrower to any Lender or other Finance Party. Upon any Event of Default, the Finance Parties may proceed directly and at once, without notice, against any Borrower to collect and recover the full amount, or any portion of the Obligations, without first proceeding against any other Borrower or any other Person, or against any security or collateral for the Obligations. Each Borrower consents and agrees that the Finance Parties shall be under no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Borrower or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations.

To the extent that any Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any Secured Hedge Agreement or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”, and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents

Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

(5)    Indebtedness permitted by this Section 4.09 need not be permitted solely by reference to one provision permitting such Indebtedness but may be permitted in part by one such provision and in part by one or more other provisions of this Section 4.09 permitting such Indebtedness;
(6)    the amount of Indebtedness issued at a price that is less than the principal amount thereof will be equal to the amount of the liability in respect thereof determined in accordance with GAAP; and

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.09, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Company, any Permitted Affiliate Parent and the Restricted Subsidiaries may Incur pursuant to this Section 4.09 shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies. The principal amount of any Indebtedness Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if Incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such Refinancing Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.
(f)    For purposes of determining compliance with (1) Section 4.09(a) and (2) any other provision of the Loan Documents which requires the calculation of any financial ratio or test, including the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio and the Consolidated Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio, the Dollar Equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency (if such Indebtedness has not been swapped into Dollars, or if such Indebtedness has been swapped into a currency other than Dollars) shall be calculated by the Company using the same exchange rates for the relevant period used for calculating the Dollar Equivalent of Consolidated EBITDA denominated in the same currency as the currency in which such Indebtedness is denominated or into which it has been swapped.
(g)    The Company and any Permitted Affiliate Parent will not Incur, and will not permit the Loan Parties to Incur, any Indebtedness that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Loan Parties that ranks pari passu with or is subordinated to the Obligations or Guaranty, as applicable, unless such Indebtedness is also contractually subordinated in right of payment to the Obligations or relevant Guaranty, on substantially identical terms (as conclusively determined in good faith by the Board of Directors or senior management of the Company or a Permitted Affiliate Parent); provided that no Indebtedness will be deemed to be contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Loan

227


Parties or any other Restricted Subsidiary solely by virtue of being unsecured or secured on a junior Lien basis or by virtue of not being guaranteed or by virtue of the application of waterfall or other payment ordering provisions affecting different tranches of Indebtedness.

(2)    unless the Asset Disposition is a Permitted Asset Swap, at least 75% of the consideration from such Asset Disposition (excluding any consideration by way of relief from, or by any other Person assuming responsibility for, any liabilities, contingent or otherwise, other than Indebtedness) received by the Company, such Permitted Affiliate Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents; and

Section 4.12    Limitation on Liens
(a)    The Company and any Permitted Affiliate Parent will not, and will not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, Incur or suffer to exist any Lien (other than (1) in the case of any property or asset that does not constitute Collateral, Permitted Liens (other than Permitted Collateral Liens) and (2) in the case of any property or asset that constitutes Collateral, Permitted Collateral Liens) upon any of its property or assets (including Capital Stock of Restricted Subsidiaries), whether owned on the Amendment Effective Date or acquired after that date, which Lien is securing any Indebtedness (such Lien, the “Initial Lien”), unless, in the case of clause (1) only, contemporaneously with the Incurrence of such Initial Lien effective provision is made to secure the Indebtedness due under the Loan Documents or, in respect of Liens on any Guarantor’s property or assets, such Guarantor’s Guaranty, equally and ratably with (or prior to, in the case of Liens with respect to Subordinated Obligations of a Guarantor, as the case may be) the Indebtedness secured by such Initial Lien for so long as such Indebtedness is so secured.
(b)    Any such Lien thereby created in favor of the Finance Parties will be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon:
(1)    the release and discharge of the Initial Lien to which it relates;
(2)    any sale, exchange or transfer to any Person other than the Company, a Permitted Affiliate Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary of the property or assets secured by such Initial Lien;
(3)    the full and final payment of all amounts payable by the Borrowers under the Loan Documents;
(4)    with respect to any Additional Guarantor the assets or the Capital Stock of which are encumbered by such Lien, upon the release of the Guaranty of such Additional Guarantor in accordance with this Agreement;
(5)    as a result of, and in connection with, any Solvent Liquidation;
(6)    if the Collateral is owned by a Guarantor that is released from its Guaranty in accordance with this Agreement; and
(7)    to release and/or retake any Lien on any Collateral to the extent otherwise permitted by this Agreement.
(c)    For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.12, (1) a Lien need not be Incurred solely by reference to one category of Permitted Liens or Permitted Collateral Liens, as applicable, but may be Incurred under any combination of such categories (including in part under one such category and in part under any other such category) and (2) in the event that a Lien (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of one or more of such categories of Permitted Liens or Permitted Collateral Liens, as applicable, the Company shall, in its sole discretion, divide, classify or may subsequently reclassify at any time such Lien (or any portion thereof) in any manner that complies with this Section 4.12 and the definition of 「Permitted Liens」 or 「Permitted Collateral Liens」, as applicable.
(d)    With respect to any Lien securing Indebtedness that was permitted to secure such Indebtedness at the time of the Incurrence of such Indebtedness, such Lien shall also be permitted to secure any

232


Increased Amount of such Indebtedness. The “Increased Amount” of any Indebtedness shall mean any increase in the amount of such Indebtedness in connection with any accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value, the amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms or in the form of common stock, the payment of dividends on Preferred Stock in the form of additional shares of Preferred Stock of the same class, accretion of original issue discount or liquidation preference, any fees, underwriting discounts, accrued and unpaid interest, premiums and other costs and expenses Incurred in connection therewith and increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies or increases in the value of property securing Indebtedness.
Section 4.13    [Reserved]
Section 4.14    [Reserved]
Section 4.15    Limitation on Issuances of Guarantees of Indebtedness by Restricted Subsidiaries
(a)    The Company and any Permitted Affiliate Parent will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary (other than a Loan Party) to, directly or indirectly, guarantee or otherwise become obligated under any Indebtedness of any Loan Party after the Amendment Effective Date in an amount in excess of $50.0 million unless such Restricted Subsidiary is or becomes an Additional Guarantor on the date on which such other guarantee or Indebtedness is Incurred (or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter) and, if applicable, executes and delivers to the Administrative Agent the documentation required by Section 10.21(c) pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary will provide a Guaranty (which Guaranty shall be senior to or pari passu with such Restricted Subsidiary’s guarantee of such other Indebtedness); provided that,
(1)    if such Restricted Subsidiary is not a Significant Subsidiary, such Restricted Subsidiary shall only be obligated to become an Additional Guarantor if such Indebtedness is Indebtedness of the Company, a Permitted Affiliate Parent or a Borrower or Public Debt of a Guarantor;
(2)    if the Indebtedness is pari passu in right of payment to the Obligations, any such guarantee of such Restricted Subsidiary with respect to such Indebtedness shall rank pari passu in right of payment to its Guaranty;
(3)     if the Indebtedness is subordinated in right of payment to the Obligations, any such guarantee of such Restricted Subsidiary with respect to such Indebtedness shall be subordinated in right of payment to its Guaranty substantially to the same extent as such Indebtedness is subordinated in right of payment to the Obligations;
(4)    an Additional Guarantor’s Guaranty may be limited in amount to the extent required by fraudulent conveyance, thin capitalization, corporate benefit, financial assistance or other similar laws (but, in such a case (a) each of the Company, any Permitted Affiliate Parent and the Restricted Subsidiaries will use their reasonable best efforts to overcome the relevant legal limit and will procure that the relevant Restricted Subsidiary undertakes all whitewash or similar procedures which are legally available to eliminate the relevant limit and (b) the relevant guarantee shall be given on an equal and ratable basis with the guarantee of any other Indebtedness giving rise to the obligation to guarantee the Facilities); and
(5)    for so long as it is not permissible under applicable Law for a Restricted Subsidiary to become an Additional Guarantor, such Restricted Subsidiary need not become an Additional Guarantor (but, in such a case, each of the Company, any Permitted Affiliate Parent and the Restricted Subsidiaries will use their reasonable best efforts to overcome the relevant legal prohibition precluding the giving of the guarantee and will procure that the relevant Restricted Subsidiary undertakes all whitewash or similar procedures which are legally available to eliminate the relevant legal prohibition, and shall give such guarantee at such time (and to the extent) that it thereafter becomes permissible).
(b)    Section 4.15(a) shall not apply to: (1) the granting by such Restricted Subsidiary of a Permitted Lien under circumstances which do not otherwise constitute the guarantee of Indebtedness of the

233


Company, any Permitted Affiliate Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary; or (2) the guarantee by any Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness that refinances Indebtedness which benefited from a guarantee by any Restricted Subsidiary Incurred in compliance with this Section 4.15 immediately prior to such refinancing.
(c)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Section 4.15(a) shall not be applicable to any guarantee provided by a Restricted Subsidiary that existed at the time such person became a Restricted Subsidiary if such guarantee was not incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of, such person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary.
(d)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Guaranty by an Additional Guarantor created pursuant to this Section 4.15 shall provide by its terms that it shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
Section 4.16    [Reserved]
Section 4.17    Impairment of Liens
The Company and any Permitted Affiliate Parent shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, take or omit to take any action that would have the result of materially impairing any Lien on the Collateral granted under the Collateral Documents (it being understood, subject to the proviso below, that the Incurrence of Permitted Collateral Liens shall under no circumstances be deemed to materially impair any Lien on the Collateral granted under the Collateral Documents) for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and/or the Security Trustee and the Lenders, and the Company and any Permitted Affiliate Parent shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, grant to any Person other than the Administrative Agent and/or the Security Trustee, the Lenders and the other beneficiaries described in the Collateral Documents and any Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable, any interest whatsoever in any of the Collateral, except that (a) the Company, any Permitted Affiliate Parent and the Restricted Subsidiaries may Incur Permitted Collateral Liens, (b) the Collateral may be discharged and released in accordance with this Agreement, the Collateral Documents and any Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable and (c) the Company, any Permitted Affiliate Parent and any Restricted Subsidiary may consummate any other transaction permitted under Section 5.01; provided that, except with respect to any discharge or release of Collateral in accordance with this Agreement, the Collateral Documents and any Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable, or in connection with the Incurrence of Liens for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and/or the Security Trustee, the Lenders, no Collateral Document may be amended, extended, renewed, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified or replaced, except that, at the request of the Company or any Permitted Affiliate Parent and without the consent of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and/or the Security Trustee may from time to time (subject to customary protections and indemnifications from the Company) enter into one or more amendments to the Collateral Documents to: (1) cure any ambiguity, omission, manifest error, defect or inconsistency therein; (2) provide for Permitted Collateral Liens; (3) make any change necessary or desirable, as determined conclusively in good faith by the Board of Directors, senior management or an Officer of the Company or a Permitted Affiliate Parent, in order to implement transactions permitted under Section 5.01; (4) provide for the release of any Lien on any properties and assets constituting Collateral from the Lien of the Collateral Documents; provided that such release is followed by the substantially concurrent re-taking of a Lien of at least equivalent priority over the same properties and assets securing the Obligations and the Guaranty; (5) provide for the release of any Lien pursuant to, or in connection with, any Solvent Liquidation; and (6) make any other change that does not adversely affect the Lenders in any material respect. For any amendments, modifications or replacements of any Collateral Documents not contemplated in clause (1) to (6) above, the Company or any Permitted Affiliate Parent shall, contemporaneously deliver to the Administrative Agent, either (A) a solvency opinion, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee from an Independent Financial Advisor confirming the solvency of the Company, any Permitted Affiliate Parent and the Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, after giving effect to any transactions related to such amendment, extension, renewal, restatement, supplement, modification or replacement, (B) a certificate from the responsible financial or accounting officer of the relevant Grantor (acting in good faith) which confirms the solvency of the person granting such Lien after giving effect to any transactions related to such amendment, extension, renewal, restatement, supplement, modification or replacement or (C) an Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, confirming that, after giving effect to any transactions related to such amendment, extension, renewal, restatement, supplement, modification or replacement, the Lien or Liens created under the Collateral Documents, as applicable, so amended, extended, renewed, restated, supplemented, modified or replaced, are

234


valid Liens not otherwise subject to any limitation, imperfection or new hardening period, in equity or at law, that such Lien or Liens were not otherwise subject to immediately prior to such amendment, extension, renewal, restatement, supplement, modification or replacement. In the event that the Company complies with the requirements of this Section 4.17, the Administrative Agent and/or the Security Trustee shall (subject to customary protections and indemnifications) consent to any such amendment, extension, renewal, restatement, supplement, modification or replacement without the need for instructions from the Lenders.
Section 4.18    [Reserved]
Section 4.19    Suspension of Covenants on Achievement of Investment Grade Status
If, during any period after the Amendment Effective Date, the Loans have achieved and continue to maintain Investment Grade Status and no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (such period hereinafter referred to as an “Investment Grade Status Period”), then the Company or a Permitted Affiliate Parent will notify the Administrative Agent of this fact and beginning on the date such status was achieved, the provisions of Sections 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11 and 5.01(a)(3) and any related default provisions of this Agreement will be suspended and will not, during such Investment Grade Status Period, be applicable to the Company, any Permitted Affiliate Parent and the Restricted Subsidiaries. No action taken during an Investment Grade Status Period or prior to an Investment Grade Status Period in compliance with the covenants then applicable will require reversal or constitute a Default under this Agreement in the event that suspended covenants are subsequently reinstated or suspended, as the case may be. An Investment Grade Status Period will terminate immediately upon the failure of the Loans to maintain Investment Grade Status (the “Reinstatement Date”). The Company or a Permitted Affiliate Parent will promptly notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any failure of the Loans to maintain Investment Grade Status and the Reinstatement Date.
Section 4.20    [Reserved]
Section 4.21    [Reserved]
Section 4.22    [Reserved]
Section 4.23    Intercreditor Agreements
(a)    Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall become a party to the Existing Intercreditor Agreement, on or prior to the Amendment Effective Date or such other date as such Lender becomes a party this Agreement (by way of assignment, transfer, accession, joinder or otherwise).
(b)    At the request of the Company or a Permitted Affiliate Parent, in connection with the Incurrence by a Loan Party of any Indebtedness that is permitted to share in the Collateral pursuant to the definition of 「Permitted Collateral Lien」, the Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Security Trustee shall enter into with the holders of such Indebtedness (or their duly authorized Representative) an intercreditor agreement, including a restatement, amendment or other modification of the Existing Intercreditor Agreement (an “Additional Intercreditor Agreement”), on substantially the same terms as the applicable Intercreditor Agreement (or on terms not materially less favorable to the Finance Parties), including, with respect to the subordination, payment blockage, limitation on enforcement, and release of the Guaranty, priority and release of any Liens in respect of Collateral or other terms which become customary for similar agreements. For the avoidance of doubt, subject to the foregoing and Section 4.23(c), any such Additional Intercreditor Agreement may provide for pari passu or subordinated Liens in respect of any such Indebtedness (to the extent such Indebtedness is permitted to share the Collateral (with the specified priority) pursuant to the definition of Permitted Collateral Lien). The Lenders expressly authorize the Administrative Agent to execute any such Additional Intercreditor Agreement and acknowledge and agree that any such Additional Intercreditor Agreement executed by the Administrative Agent shall bind the Lenders.
(c)    At the direction of the Company or a Permitted Affiliate Parent and without the consent of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent will upon direction of the Company or a Permitted Affiliate Parent from time to time enter into one or more amendments to the applicable Intercreditor Agreement or any other Collateral Document to: (1) cure any ambiguity, omission, manifest error, defect or inconsistency therein; (2) add other parties (such as representatives of new issuances of Indebtedness) thereto; (3) further secure the Obligations and

235

The Company or a Permitted Affiliate Parent will not otherwise direct the Administrative Agent to enter into any amendment to the applicable Intercreditor Agreement or any other Collateral Document without the consent of the Required Lenders, except as otherwise permitted pursuant to Section 10.01 of this Agreement. This Section 4.23(c) shall supersede any provisions in Section 10.01 to the contrary.
(d)    In relation to any applicable Intercreditor Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall consent on behalf of the Lenders to the payment, repayment, purchase, repurchase, defeasance, acquisition, retirement or redemption of any obligations subordinated to the Facilities thereby; provided that such transaction would comply with Section 4.07.
Section 4.24    [Reserved]
Section 4.25    Limited Condition Transaction
(a)    In connection with any action being taken in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, for purposes of determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement which requires that no Default or Event of Default, as applicable, has occurred, is continuing or would result from any such action, as applicable, such condition shall, at the option of the Company or a Permitted Affiliate Parent, be deemed satisfied, so long as no Default or Event of Default, as applicable, exists on the date the definitive agreement (or other relevant definitive documentation) for such Limited Condition Transaction is entered into. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Company or a Permitted Affiliate Parent has exercised its option under the first sentence of this Section 4.25(a), and any Default or Event of Default occurs following the date such definitive agreement for a Limited Condition Transaction is entered into and prior to the consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to not have occurred or be continuing for purposes of determining whether any action being taken in connection with such Limited Condition Transaction is permitted hereunder.
(b)    In connection with any action being taken in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction for purposes of:
(1)    determining compliance with any provision of the Agreement which requires the calculation of any financial ratio or test, including the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio or the Consolidated Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio; or
(2)    testing baskets set forth in this Agreement (including baskets measured as a percentage or multiple, as applicable, of Total Assets, Pro forma EBITDA or Pro forma Non-Controlling Interest EBITDA);
in each case, at the option of the Company or a Permitted Affiliate Parent (the Company’s or a Permitted Affiliate Parent’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition

236


Transaction, an “LCT Election”), the date of determination of whether any such action is permitted hereunder, shall be deemed to be the date the definitive agreement (or other relevant definitive documentation) for such Limited Condition Transaction is entered into (the “LCT Test Date”); provided that the Company or a Permitted Affiliate Parent shall be entitled to subsequently elect, in its sole discretion, the date of consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction instead of the LCT Test Date as the applicable date of determination, and if, after giving pro forma effect to the Limited Condition Transaction and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including any Incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof), as are appropriate and consistent with the pro forma adjustment provisions set forth in the definition of 「Pro forma EBITDA」, 「Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio」 and 「Consolidated Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio」, the Company, a Permitted Affiliate Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary could have taken such action on the relevant LCT Test Date in compliance with such ratio, test or basket, such ratio, test or basket shall be deemed to have been complied with.
(c)    If the Company or a Permitted Affiliate Parent has made an LCT Election and any of the ratios, tests or baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCT Test Date are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio, test or basket, including due to fluctuations in Pro forma EBITDA or Total Assets, of the Company , any Permitted Affiliate Parent and the Restricted Subsidiaries or the Person or assets subject to the Limited Condition Transaction (as if each reference to the 「Company」 or a 「Permitted Affiliate Parent」 in such definition was to such Person or assets) at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such baskets or ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations. If the Company or a Permitted Affiliate Parent has made an LCT Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio, test or basket availability under this Agreement (including with respect to the Incurrence of Indebtedness or Liens, or the making of Asset Dispositions, acquisitions, mergers, the conveyance, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, a Permitted Affiliate Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary or the designation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary) on or following the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such ratio, test or basket shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any Incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated.
ARTICLE 5
Section 5.01    Merger and Consolidation
(a)    No Borrower will consolidate with, or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its assets to, any Person, unless:

(2)    immediately after giving effect to such transaction (and treating any Indebtedness that becomes an obligation of the Successor Company or any Subsidiary of the Successor Company as a result of such transaction as having been Incurred by the Successor Company or such Subsidiary at the time of such transaction), no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
(3)    either (A) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, the Company, any Permitted Affiliate Parent and the Restricted Subsidiaries, or such Successor Company would be able to Incur at least an additional $1.00 of Indebtedness pursuant to Section 4.09(a)(2) or (B) the Consolidated Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio of the Company, any Permitted Affiliate Parent and the Restricted Subsidiaries (including such Successor Company) or such Successor Company, any Permitted Affiliate

(4)    the Company or a Permitted Affiliate Parent shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer complies with this Agreement; provided that in giving such opinion, such counsel may rely on an Officer’s Certificate as to compliance with Section 5.01(a)(2) and Section 5.01(a)(3) above and as to any matters of fact.
(b)    No Loan Party (other than a Borrower) will consolidate with, or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all its assets to, any Person, other than another Loan Party (other than in connection with a transaction that does not constitute an Asset Disposition or a transaction that is permitted by Section 4.10), unless:
(1)    immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and
(2)    either:
(A)    the Successor Company (if not such Guarantor) expressly assumes all the obligations of that Loan Party under the Loan Documents to which such Loan Party is a party, by executing and delivering a joinder agreement in the form contemplated by Section 10.21(c) of this Agreement; provided that in the case of the Company, it shall remain, or the Successor Company shall be, in all cases organized and existing under the laws of an Approved Jurisdiction; or
(B)    the Net Cash Proceeds of such transaction are applied in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement.
(c)    For purposes of this Section 5.01, the sale, lease, conveyance, assignment, transfer, or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of one or more Subsidiaries of a Loan Party which properties and assets, if held by such Loan Party instead of such Subsidiaries, would constitute all or substantially all of the properties and assets of such Loan Party on a Consolidated basis, shall be deemed to be the transfer of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of such Loan Party.
(d)    The Successor Company (if not such Loan Party) will succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the relevant Loan Party under the Loan Documents to which such Loan Party is a party, and upon such substitution, the predecessor to such Loan Party will be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents, but, in the case of a lease of all or substantially all its assets, the predecessor to such Loan Party will not be released from the obligation to pay the principal of and interest on the Facilities.
(e)    The provisions set forth in this Section 5.01 shall not restrict (and shall not apply to): (1) any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Loan Party from consolidating with, merging or liquidating into or transferring all or substantially all of its properties and assets to a Loan Party or any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Loan Party; (2) any Guarantor from merging or liquidating into or transferring all or part of its properties and assets to another Loan Party; (3) any consolidation or merger of a Borrower into any Loan Party; provided that for the purposes of this Section 5.01(e)(3), if a Borrower is not the Successor Company, the relevant Guarantor will assume the obligations of such Borrower under the Loan Documents to which such Borrower is party and Section 5.01(a)(1) and Section 5.01(a)(4) shall apply to such transaction; (4) any consolidation or merger effected as part of the Transactions; (5) any Solvent Liquidation; and (6) a Loan Party consolidating into or merging or combining with an Affiliate incorporated or organized for the purpose of changing the legal domicile or form of such entity or reincorporating such entity in another jurisdiction; provided that, for the purposes of this Section 5.01(e)(6), (A) Section 5.01(a)(1), Section 5.01(a)(2) and Section 5.01(a)(4) or (B) Section 5.01(b), as the case may be, shall apply to any such transaction.
