(a)    Daily Simple SOFR; or
(b)    the sum of: (i) the alternate benchmark rate that has been selected by the Agent and the Borrowers giving due consideration to (A) any selection or recommendation of a replacement benchmark rate or the mechanism for determining such a rate by the Relevant Governmental Body or (B) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a benchmark rate as a replacement to the then-current Benchmark for Dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities and (ii) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment.

For the avoidance of doubt, the “Benchmark Replacement Date” will be deemed to have occurred in the case of clause (a) or (b) with respect to any Benchmark upon the occurrence of the applicable event or events set forth therein with respect to all then-current Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).
Benchmark Transition Event” means the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

(b)    a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof), the Federal Reserve Board, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component) or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), which states that the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component) has ceased or will cease to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) permanently or indefinitely; provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or

Notwithstanding any judgment in a currency different from that specified in a Loan Document, a Borrower shall discharge its obligation in respect of the sum due under the Loan Document only if, on the Business Day following Agent’s receipt of the payment in the judgment currency, Agent can use the amount paid to purchase the sum originally due in the Loan Document currency. If the purchased amount is less than the sum originally due, Borrowers agree, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify Agent, Letter of Credit Issuer and Lenders against such loss. If the purchased amount is greater than the sum originally due, Agent shall return the excess amount to the applicable Borrower (or to the Person legally entitled thereto).

SECTION 2.1    The Revolving Credit Loans.
(a)    Revolving Credit Loans; Borrowing Base.
Each Revolving Credit Lender agrees (severally, not jointly or jointly and severally), subject to Section 2.5(a) and the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, to make revolving credit loans (together with the Swingline Loans, Protective Advances and Overadvances, the “Revolving Credit Loans”) to Borrowers in Available Currency, from time to time from the Closing Date to but excluding the Termination Date, at Borrower Agent’s request to Agent, in an amount at any one time outstanding



not to exceed the lesser of (i) such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, or (ii) such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding which, when combined with the aggregate undrawn amount of all unexpired Letters of Credit issued for the benefit of Borrowers, does not exceed:
(i)    for the period beginning on the date of this Agreement and ending on the date falling 12 months after the date of this Agreement, in respect of a Borrowing (A) by or on behalf of a U.K. Borrower, the lesser of the (x) Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment and the (y) U.K. Borrowing Base at such time and (B) by or on behalf of a U.S. Borrower, the lesser of (x) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment, and (y) the U.S. Borrowing Base at such time; and
(ii)    thereafter, the lesser of (x) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment, and (y) the Borrowing Base at such time.
(b)    Agent, at any time in the exercise of its Permitted Discretion and upon no less than five (5) Business Days’ notice to the Borrowers, may establish and increase or decrease Reserves against Eligible Receivables and Eligible Unbilled Receivables, provided, that during such five (5) Business Day period, the proposed Reserve shall be included for the purpose of calculating the amount of Loans and Letters of Credit available hereunder. The amount of any Reserve established by Agent, and any changes to the advance rates or the eligibility criteria set forth in the definition of Eligible Receivables shall have a reasonable relationship to the event, condition, other circumstance, or fact that is the basis for such reserve or change and shall not be duplicative of any other reserve established and currently maintained.
(c)    Revolving Credit Notes. The Revolving Credit Loans made by each Revolving Credit Lender may, at the request of such Revolving Credit Lender, be evidenced by a single promissory note payable to such Revolving Credit Lender, substantially in the form of Exhibit A-1 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, a “Revolving Credit Note” and, collectively, the “Revolving Credit Notes”), executed by Borrowers and delivered to such Lender in a stated maximum principal amount equal to such Revolving Credit Lender’s applicable Revolving Credit Commitment.
(d)    Payment. Borrowers hereby promise to pay all of the Revolving Credit Loans and all other Obligations in respect thereof (including, without limitation, principal, interest, fees, costs, and expenses payable under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents) in full on the Termination Date or, if earlier, on the date on which the Revolving Credit Loans and the Obligations (other than Bank Product Obligations) become due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Borrowers may borrow, repay and reborrow applicable Revolving Credit Loans, in whole or in part, in accordance with the terms hereof prior to the Termination Date.
SECTION 2.2    [Reserved]
SECTION 2.3    Procedure for Borrowing; Notices of Borrowing; Notices of Continuation; Notices of Conversion.

Each borrowing of a Loan (each, a “Borrowing”) shall be made on notice by Borrower Agent to Agent, given not later than: (1) 12:00 p.m. (Applicable Time Zone) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing in the case of a SOFR Rate Advance, and (2) 12:00 p.m. (Applicable Time Zone) on the date of the proposed Borrowing in the case of a Base Rate



Advance; provided that any Borrowing by Borrowers made on the Closing Date must be made as a Base Rate Advance unless Borrower Agent shall have provided an indemnity letter extending the benefits of Section 4.3 to Lenders in respect of such Borrowing. Each such notice of a Borrowing shall be in writing (by electronic transmission or otherwise as permitted hereunder) substantially in the form of Exhibit B (a “Notice of Borrowing”), specifying therein the requested (i) Borrower (whether U.S. Borrower and/or U.K. Borrower, as applicable), (ii) the date of such Borrowing, (iv) the Type of Advance comprising such Borrowing, (v) the aggregate principal amount of such Borrowing, and (vi) the Interest Period, in the case of a SOFR Rate Advance.
(b)    Continuations. With respect to any Borrowing consisting of a SOFR Rate Advance, Borrower Agent may, subject to the provisions of Section 2.3(d) elect to maintain such Borrowing or any portion thereof as a SOFR Rate Advance by selecting a new Interest Period for such Borrowing, which new Interest Period shall commence on the last day of the Interest Period then ending. Each selection of a new Interest Period (a “Continuation”) shall be made by notice given not later than 12:00 p.m. (Applicable Time Zone) on the third Business Day prior to the date of any such Continuation by Borrower Agent to Agent. Such notice by Borrower Agent of a Continuation shall be in writing (by electronic transmission or otherwise as permitted hereunder), substantially in the form of Exhibit C (a “Notice of Continuation/Conversion”), specifying whether the Advance subject to the requested Continuation comprises part (or all) of the applicable Revolving Credit Loans and the requested (i) date of such Continuation, (ii) the new Interest Period and (iii) aggregate amount of the applicable Advance subject to such Continuation, which shall comply with all limitations on Loans hereunder. Unless, on or before 12:00 p.m. (Applicable Time Zone) of the third Business Day prior to the expiration of an Interest Period, Agent shall have received a Notice of Continuation/Conversion from Borrower Agent for the entire Borrowing consisting of the SOFR Rate Advance outstanding during such Interest Period, any amount of such Advance comprising such Borrowing remaining outstanding at the end of such Interest Period (or any portion of such Advance not covered by a timely Notice of Continuation/Conversion) shall, upon the expiration of such Interest Period, be Continued as a SOFR Rate Advance with an Interest Period of one (1) month.
(c)    Conversions. Borrower Agent may on any Business Day by giving a Notice of Continuation/Conversion to Agent, and subject to the provisions of Section 2.3(d) and Section 4.3, Convert the entire amount of or a portion of an Advance of one Type into an Advance of another Type. Each such Notice of Continuation/Conversion shall be given not later than 12:00 p.m. (Applicable Time Zone) on the Business Day prior to the date of any proposed Conversion into a Base Rate Advance and on the third Business Day prior to the date of any proposed Conversion into a SOFR Rate Advance. Subject to the restrictions specified above, each Notice of Continuation/Conversion shall be in writing (by electronic transmission or otherwise as permitted hereunder), specifying (i) the requested date of such Conversion, (ii) the Type of Advance to be Converted, (iii) the requested Interest Period, in the case of a Conversion into a SOFR Rate Advance, and (iv) the amount of such Advance to be Converted and whether such amount comprises part (or all) of the Revolving Credit Loans. Each Conversion shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $2,000,000 or an integral multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof.
(d)    Limitations on Use of SOFR. Anything in subsection (b) or (c) above to the contrary notwithstanding,
(i)    if, at least one (1) Business Day before the date of any requested SOFR Rate Advance the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for the Lenders or any of its Affiliates to perform its obligations hereunder to make a



SOFR Rate Advance or to fund or maintain a SOFR Rate Advance hereunder (including in the case of a Continuation or a Conversion), Agent shall promptly give written notice of such circumstance to Borrower Agent, and the right of Borrower Agent to select a SOFR Rate Advance for such Borrowing or any subsequent Borrowing (including a Continuation or a Conversion) shall be suspended until the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and any Advance comprising such requested SOFR Rate Advance (or Continuation or Conversion) shall be a Base Rate Advance;
(ii)    if, at least one (1) Business Day before the first day of any Interest Period, Agent is unable to determine the SOFR for SOFR Rate Advances comprising any requested Borrowing, Continuation or Conversion, Agent shall promptly give written notice of such circumstance to Borrower Agent, and with respect to a SOFR Rate Advance, the right of Borrower Agent to select or maintain SOFR Rate Advances for such Borrowing (or Continuation or Conversion) or any subsequent Borrowing shall be suspended until Agent shall notify Borrower Agent that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and any Advance comprising such SOFR Rate Advance (or Continuation or Conversion) shall be a Base Rate Advance;
(iii)    if any Lender shall, at least one (1) Business Day before the date of any requested Borrowing or Continuation of, or Conversion into, a SOFR Rate Advance, notify Agent and Borrower Agent that the Adjusted Term SOFR for Advances comprising such Borrowing, Continuation or Conversion will not adequately reflect the cost to such Lender of making or funding Advances for such Borrowing, with respect to SOFR Rate Advances, the right of Borrower Agent to select SOFR Rate Advances shall be suspended until such Lender shall notify Agent and Borrower Agent that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and any SOFR Rate Advance comprising such Borrowing shall be a Base Rate Advance;
(iv)    there shall not be outstanding at any time more than five (5) Borrowings which consist of SOFR Rate Advances;
(v)    each Borrowing which consists of SOFR Rate Advances shall be in an amount equal to $2,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof and; and
(vi)    if a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no SOFR Rate Advances may be borrowed or continued as such and no Base Rate Advance may be Converted into a SOFR Rate Advance.
(e)    Effect of Notice. Each Notice of Borrowing and each Notice of Continuation/Conversion shall be irrevocable and binding on Borrowers. Borrowers agree to indemnify Agent and the Lenders against any loss, cost or expense incurred by Agent or any Lender as a result of (i) default by Borrowers in making a Borrowing of, Conversion into or Continuation of a SOFR Rate Advance after Borrower Agent has given notice requesting the same, (ii) default by Borrowers in payment when due of the principal amount of or interest on any SOFR Rate Advance, or (iii) the making of a payment or prepayment of a SOFR Rate Advance on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto, including, without limitation, any loss (including loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by Agent or any Lender to fund such Advance.



(f)    Disbursements. Promptly after its receipt of a Notice of Borrowing under Section 2.3(a), Agent shall elect, in its discretion, (i) to have the terms of Section 2.3(g) apply to the requested Borrowings, or (ii) to request that Swingline Lender make a Swingline Loan under Section 2.3(h) to Borrowers in the amount of the requested Borrowing.
(g)    Lenders to Advance.
(i)    If Agent shall elect to have the terms of this Section 2.3(g) apply to a requested Borrowing as described in Section 2.3(f)(i) or Swingline Lender has not agreed to make a Swingline Loan, then, promptly after its receipt of a Notice of Borrowing under Section 2.3(a), Agent shall notify the Lenders in writing (by electronic transmission or otherwise as permitted hereunder) of the requested Borrowing. Each Lender shall make the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the requested Borrowing available to Agent in same day funds, for the account of Borrowers, at Agent’s Payment Account prior to 4:00 p.m. (Applicable Time Zone), on the Borrowing Date requested by Borrower Agent. The proceeds of such Borrowing will then be made available to Borrowers by Agent wire transferring to the Operating Account the aggregate of the amounts made available to Agent by the Lenders, and in like funds as received by Agent by 4:00 p.m. (Applicable Time Zone), on the requested Borrowing Date or as otherwise requested by Borrower Agent in its Notice of Borrowing, and approved by Agent for such purpose.
(ii)    Unless Agent receives contrary written notice prior to 3:00 p.m. (Applicable Time Zone) on the date of any proposed Borrowing, Agent shall be entitled to assume that each Lender will make available its applicable Pro Rata Share of such Borrowing and, in reliance upon that assumption, but without any obligation to do so, may advance such applicable Pro Rata Share on behalf of such Lender. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such amount available to Agent, but Agent has made such amount available to the applicable Borrowers, such Lender and Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay and repay Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount and to pay interest thereon, for each day from the date of such Borrowing until the date such amount is paid or repaid to Agent, at (A) in the case of Borrowers, the interest rate applicable at such time to such Loan and (B) in the case of each Lender, for the period from the date such Borrowing to (and including) three days after demand therefor by Agent to such Lender, at the Federal Funds Rate and, following such third day, at the interest rate applicable at such time to such Loan, in each case, together with all costs and expenses incurred by Agent in connection therewith. If a Lender shall pay to Agent any or all of such amount, such amount so paid shall constitute a Loan by such Lender to Borrowers for purposes of this Agreement.
(h)    Swingline Loan. If (i) Agent shall elect, in its discretion, to have the terms of this Section 2.3(h) apply to a requested Borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans (as described in Section 2.3(f)(ii)), and (ii) the Swingline Lender, in its sole discretion, agrees to make a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender shall make a Loan in Dollars in the amount of such requested Borrowing (any such Loan made solely by the Swingline Lender under this Section 2.3(h) being referred to as an “Swingline Loan”) available to Borrowers in same day funds by wire transferring such amount to the Operating Account by 4:00 p.m. (Applicable Time Zone) on the requested Borrowing Date. Each Swingline Loan shall be subject to all the terms and conditions applicable hereunder to the other Revolving Credit Loans except that prior to settlement all payments thereon shall be payable to the Swingline Lender solely for its own account (and for the account of the holder of any participation interest with respect to such Loan). The Swingline Lender shall not make any Swingline Loan if (i) the requested Borrowing would cause the aggregate outstanding amount of Revolving Credit Loans, Swingline Loans and undrawn amount of



unexpired Letters of Credit issued at the request of Borrowers to exceed for the period beginning on the date of this Agreement and ending on the date falling 12 months after the date of this Agreement, in respect of a Borrowing (A) by or on behalf of a U.K. Borrower, the lesser of (x) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment and (y) the U.K. Borrowing Base on such Borrowing Date, (B) by or on behalf of a U.S. Borrower, the lesser of (x) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment, and (y) the U.S. Borrowing Base on such Borrowing Date, and (C) the lesser of (x) the Borrowing Base and (y) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment on such Borrowing Date, and thereafter, the lesser of (x) the Borrowing Base and (y) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment on such Borrowing Date or (ii) the requested Borrowing would cause the aggregate outstanding amount of Swingline Loans to exceed 10% of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment (the “Swingline Sublimit”). The Swingline Lender may reduce the Swingline Sublimit or resign as Swingline Lender with the consent of Borrower Agent and Agent. The Swingline Loans shall be repayable on demand, shall be secured by the Collateral, shall constitute Revolving Credit Loans and Obligations hereunder and shall bear interest at the rate in effect from time to time applicable to the Revolving Credit Loans comprised of Base Rate Advances, including any increase in such rate that is applicable under Section 4.2. The Swingline Loans made by the Swingline Lender may, at the request of the Swingline Lender, be evidenced by a single promissory note payable to such Lender, in the form of Exhibit A-2 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, a “Swingline Note”), as executed by Borrowers and delivered to the Swingline Lender, in a stated amount equal to the maximum amount of the Swingline Loans specified in this subsection. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, immediately upon the request of the Swingline Lender, the Borrowers shall repay the outstanding Swingline Loans made by the Swingline Lender in an amount sufficient to eliminate any Fronting Exposure in respect of such Swingline Loans.
(i)    Settlements. Each Revolving Credit Lender’s funded portion of any Revolving Credit Loan is intended to be equal at all times to such Lender’s applicable Pro Rata Share of all outstanding applicable Revolving Credit Loans. Notwithstanding such agreement, Agent and the other Lenders agree (which agreement shall not be for the benefit of or enforceable by Borrowers) that, to facilitate the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, settlement among them as to the Swingline Loans, any applicable Protective Advances and any applicable Overadvances shall take place on a periodic basis in accordance with the following provisions:
(i)    Agent shall request settlement (“Settlement”) with the Lenders on a weekly basis, or on a more frequent basis if so determined by Agent, with respect to (A) each outstanding Swingline Loan, applicable Protective Advance and applicable Overadvance and (B) all payments made by Borrowers on account of the applicable Revolving Credit Loans, in each case by notifying the applicable Revolving Credit Lenders of such requested Settlement in writing (by electronic transmission or otherwise as permitted hereunder), prior to 2:00 p.m. (Applicable Time Zone) on the date of such requested Settlement (any such date being a “Settlement Date”).
(ii)    Each Lender shall make the amount of such Lender’s applicable Pro Rata Share of the outstanding principal amount of the Swingline Loan, any applicable Protective Advance and any applicable Overadvance with respect to which Settlement is requested available to Agent in same day funds, for itself or for the account of Agent, to Agent’s Payment Account prior to 4:00 p.m. (Applicable Time Zone), on the Settlement Date applicable thereto, regardless of whether the conditions precedent specified in Section 5.2 have then been satisfied. Such amounts made available to Agent shall be applied against the amounts of the applicable Swingline Loan, applicable Protective Advance and applicable Overadvance, and, together with the portion of such Swingline Loan, any applicable Protective Advance and any applicable



Overadvance representing Agent’s applicable Pro Rata Share thereof, shall constitute applicable Revolving Credit Loans of such Lenders. If any such amount is not made available to Agent by any Lender on the Settlement Date applicable thereto, Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate for the first three (3) Business Days from and after such Settlement Date and thereafter at the interest rate then applicable to Base Rate Advances with respect to Revolving Credit Loans with an Interest Period of one (1) month.
(iii)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, not more than one (1) Business Day after demand is made by Agent (whether before or after the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default), each Lender (other than the Bank) shall irrevocably and unconditionally purchase and receive from Agent, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Swingline Loan, any applicable Protective Advance and any applicable Overadvance to the extent of such Lender’s applicable Pro Rata Share thereof, by paying to Agent, in same day funds, an amount equal to such Lender’s applicable Pro Rata Share of such Swingline Loan, regardless of whether the conditions precedent specified in Section 5.2 have then been satisfied. If such amount is not made available to Agent by any Lender, Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate for the first three days from and after such demand and thereafter at the interest rate then applicable to the Revolving Credit Loans that are Base Rate Advances with an Interest Period of one (1) month, including any increase in such rate that is applicable under Section 4.2.
(iv)    From and after the date, if any, on which any Lender purchases an undivided interest and participation in any Swingline Loan, applicable Protective Advance or applicable Overadvance under clause (C) above, Agent shall promptly distribute to such Lender such Lender’s applicable Pro Rata Share of all payments of principal and interest received by Agent in respect of such Swingline Loan, applicable Protective Advance and applicable Overadvance.
SECTION 2.4    Application of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loans shall be used by Borrowers for their general working capital purposes, expenses incurred by Borrowers in connection herewith and for other general corporate purposes, in each case, not prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.
SECTION 2.5    Revolving Credit Commitment; Mandatory Prepayments; Optional Prepayments.
(a)    Maximum Amount. In no event shall (i) the sum of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Credit Loans and the aggregate undrawn amount of all unexpired Letters of Credit exceed (other than solely as a result of Protective Advances and Overadvances permitted under Section 2.15) the Line Cap.
(b)    Mandatory Prepayments. In addition to any prepayment required in accordance with Section 10.2 as a result of an Event of Default hereunder, the Loans shall be subject to mandatory prepayment as follows:
(i)    immediately upon discovery by or notice to Borrower Agent that any of the lending limits set forth in Section 2.1(a) or Section 2.5(a) have been exceeded (other than solely as a result of Protective Advances and Overadvances permitted under Section 2.15),



Borrowers shall pay Agent for the benefit of the Lenders an amount sufficient to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the Loans, Collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit, or any combination thereof, to the applicable maximum allowed amount, and such amount shall become due and payable by Borrowers without the necessity of a demand by Agent or any Lender;
(ii)    [reserved]; and
(iii)    the entire outstanding principal amount of the Loans, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all fees and Lender Group Expenses payable by Borrowers hereunder, shall become due and payable on the Termination Date.
(c)    Voluntary Prepayments. Borrowers may, at any time and from time to time, prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, upon at least two (2) Business Days’ irrevocable notice by Borrower Agent to Agent in the case of Base Rate Advances, and three (3) Business Days’ irrevocable notice by Borrower Agent to Agent in the case of SOFR Rate Advances, specifying the date and amount of prepayment, subject to the requirements of Section 4.3. If such notice is given, Borrowers shall make such prepayment, and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable, on the date specified therein accompanied by the amount of accrued and unpaid interest thereon.
(d)    Reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments. Borrowers may by 20 days prior written notice to Agent elect to permanently reduce the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment. Each reduction shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 or any greater integral increment of $1,000,000. Borrowers may not reduce the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment to an amount less than $10,000,000.
SECTION 2.6    Maintenance of Loan Account; Statements of Account. Agent shall maintain an account on its books in the name of Borrowers (the “Loan Account”) in which Borrowers will be charged with all Loans and Advances made by the Lenders to Borrowers or for Borrowers’ account, including the Revolving Credit Loans, interest, fees, Lender Group Expenses and any other Obligations. The Loan Account will be credited with all amounts received by the Lenders from Borrowers or for Borrowers’ account, including, as set forth in Section 2.7 below, all amounts received from any Concentration Account, Lockbox Account or Blocked Account. Agent shall send Borrower Agent a monthly statement reflecting the activity in the Loan Account. Each such statement shall be an account stated and shall be final, conclusive and binding on Borrowers, absent manifest error.
SECTION 2.7    Collection of Receivables.
(a)    Lockbox Accounts. By not later than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date (or such longer time as Agent may agree in its sole discretion), the U.S. Loan Parties shall have opened with the Bank one or more deposit accounts (each, a “Lockbox Account” and, collectively, the “Lockbox Accounts”) for the sole and exclusive purpose of receiving all checks, drafts, instruments and other items of payment (“Items of Payment”) received in respect of Collections (which for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include any payments related to any Permitted Receivables Assets).
(b)    Collections. By not later than 15 days after the date on which the applicable Lockbox Account or Concentration Account is (or, if earlier, is required to be) established pursuant to the Loan Documents (or such longer time as Agent may agree in its sole discretion), the U.S. Loan Parties shall have notified all existing Account Debtors and at all times thereafter the U.S. Loan Parties shall notify all new Account Debtors, to remit all payments of Receivables (other than Permitted Receivables Assets) and other payments constituting proceeds of Collateral directly to a Lockbox Account or



Concentration Account. The U.S. Loan Parties shall cause any Items of Payment (or cash or money) that the U.S. Loan Parties directly receive from any of their respective Account Debtors (which for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include any payments related to any Permitted Receivables Assets) subsequent to the Closing Date (notwithstanding its contrary direction, given per above) to be deposited on a daily basis into a Lockbox Account or a Concentration Account.
(c)    Blocked Accounts. Except as otherwise permitted under Section 8.22, as contemplated by clause (e) below with respect to accounts domiciled in the United Kingdom or as otherwise agreed in writing by Agent with respect to any accounts with and through the Bank, by no later than 90 days after the Closing Date (or such longer period as Agent may agree in its sole discretion), the U.S. Loan Parties shall establish and maintain Control Agreements with Agent and the applicable bank or securities intermediary, on terms reasonably satisfactory to Agent, with respect to all of their deposit accounts and securities accounts (each, together with any and all deposit accounts and securities accounts maintained with the Bank except to the extent such deposit accounts or securities accounts constitute Excluded Property or an Excluded Account, a “Blocked Account” and collectively, the “Blocked Accounts”).
(d)    Cash Dominion Period. If a Cash Dominion Period has occurred and is continuing, Agent may cause all funds deposited into any Blocked Account to be credited on a daily basis to the Loan Account, conditional upon final collection. Credit will be given only for funds received prior to 4:00 p.m. (Applicable Time Zone) by Agent in any Blocked Account. In all cases, the Blocked Accounts will be credited only with the net amounts actually received in payment of their Receivables. So long as no Cash Dominion Period is in effect, the U.S. Loan Parties may direct the manner of disposition of funds in their respective Blocked Accounts, including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Lockbox Accounts.
(e)    U.K. Loan Party Cash Management Provisions.
(i)    By not later than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date (or such longer period as agreed by Agent), the U.K. Loan Parties shall provide to Agent:
(A)    evidence that all of its collections accounts (other than any U.K. Lloyds Account) which are not held with Agent have been closed;
(B)    evidence that all of its Account Debtors have been notified in writing to make payments (which for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include any payments related to any Permitted Receivables Assets) with respect to its Accounts to accounts held with Agent in England (or such other jurisdiction satisfactory to Agent) (“U.K. Collection Accounts”); and
(C)    duly executed Control Agreements evidencing Agent’s springing control (to be exercised only if a Cash Dominion Period has occurred and is continuing) in respect of each U.K. Collection Account and the U.K. Loan Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to procure the delivery of a Control Agreement evidencing Agent’s springing control (to be exercised only if a Cash Dominion Period has occurred and is continuing) in respect of each U.K. Lloyds Account.
(ii)    Except as otherwise agreed to in writing by the Agent and U.K. Borrower, upon the occurrence of a Cash Dominion Period and while it is continuing, Agent shall



cause all funds deposited into any U.K. Collection Account be applied to the Obligations on a pro rata basis in accordance with Section 10.5. Credit will be given only for funds received prior to 4:00 p.m. (Applicable Time Zone) by Agent in any U.K. Collection Account. In all cases, the U.K. Collection Accounts will be credited only with the net amounts actually received in payment of their Receivables.
(f)    Held in Trust. The Loan Parties will hold Items of Payment in trust and for the account and as the property of Agent until remitted as provided hereinabove, and the Loan Parties will not establish any other deposit account, lockbox, lockbox account, concentration account or blocked account for the purpose of collecting any such Items of Payment or divert or direct at any time any such Items of Payment to any other deposit account.
SECTION 2.8    Term. The term of this Agreement shall be for a period from the Closing Date through and including the Termination Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrowers shall have no right to terminate this Agreement at any time that any principal of or interest on any of the Loans is outstanding, except upon Payment in Full of all Obligations.
SECTION 2.9    Payment Procedures.
(a)    Loan Account.    Borrowers hereby authorize Agent to charge the Loan Account or any other account of Borrowers with Agent with the amount of all principal, interest, fees, Lender Group Expenses and other payments to be made hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, discharge Borrowers’ payment obligations hereunder by so charging the Loan Account.
(b)    Time of Payment. Each payment by Borrowers on account of principal, interest, fees or Lender Group Expenses hereunder shall be made to Agent. All payments to be made by Borrowers hereunder and under the Notes, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff, deduction or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 4:00 p.m. (Applicable Time Zone) on the due date thereof to Agent, for the account of the Lenders according to their applicable Pro Rata Shares (except as expressly otherwise provided), at Agent’s Payment Account in immediately available funds. Except for payments which are expressly provided to be made (i) for the account of Agent or Swingline Lender only or (ii) under the settlement provisions of Section 2.3(i), Agent shall distribute all payments to the Lenders on the Business Day following receipt in like funds as received. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if a Lender or any of its Affiliates exercises its right of setoff under Section 12.3 or otherwise, any amounts so recovered shall promptly be shared by such Lender with the other Lenders according to their respective applicable Pro Rata Shares.
(c)    Next Business Day. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day (except as specified in clause (ii) of the definition of Interest Period) and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the amount of interest due hereunder.
(d)    Application. Subject to Section 10.4, Agent shall have the continuing and exclusive right, if an Event of Default exists, to apply or reverse and re-apply any payment and any and all proceeds of Collateral to any portion of the Obligations. To the extent that any Borrower makes a payment or Agent receives any payment or proceeds of the Collateral for any Borrower’s benefit, which is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, debtor in possession, receiver, custodian or any other party under any bankruptcy law, common



law or equitable cause, then, to such extent, the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Agent.
SECTION 2.10    Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 4.11, or requires any Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.12, then such Lender (at the request of Borrower Agent) shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 4.11 or Section 4.12, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. Borrowers hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
SECTION 2.11    Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 4.11, or if any Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.12 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 2.10, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice by Borrower Agent to such Lender and Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate (and such Lender agrees to assign and delegate), without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and the consents required by, Section 12.7), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 4.11 or Section 4.12) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (a) Borrowers shall have paid to Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 12.7; (b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of all Loans owed to it, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 4.11) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts); (c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 4.11 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 4.12, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; (d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law; and (e) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall consent, at the time of such assignment, to each applicable amendment, waiver or consent. A Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Nothing in this Section 2.11 shall be deemed to prejudice any rights that Borrower or any Lender that is not a Defaulting Lender may have against any Defaulting Lender. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each party hereto agrees that any assignment pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.11 may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance executed by the Borrower, Agent and the assignee and that the Lender making such assignment need not be a party thereto.
Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, the Lender that acts as the Agent may not be replaced hereunder except in accordance with the terms of Section 11.9.



SECTION 2.12    Defaulting Lenders.
(a)    Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by Requirements of Law:
(i)    Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders and Section 12.5.
(ii)    Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to ARTICLE X or otherwise) or received by Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 12.3 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Letter of Credit Issuer or Swingline Lender hereunder; third, to cash collateralize the Letter of Credit Issuers’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 12.7; fourth, as the Borrower Agent may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by Agent; fifth, if so determined by Agent and the Borrower Agent, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) cash collateralize the Letter of Credit Issuers’ future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.17; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Letter of Credit Issuers or Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Letter of Credit Issuers or Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrowers against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or Letter of Credit Disbursements in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and Letter of Credit Disbursements owed to, all applicable Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or Letter of Credit Disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans are held by the applicable Lenders pro rata in accordance with the applicable Commitments without giving effect to clause (iv) below. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender and each Letter of Credit Issuer irrevocably consents hereto.



(iii)    Unused Line Fees and Letter of Credit Fees.
(A)    No Lender shall be entitled to receive any Unused Line Fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).
(B)    Each Lender shall be entitled to receive letter of credit fees pursuant to Section 4.5 for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Pro Rata Share of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided cash collateral pursuant to Section 2.17.
(C)    With respect to any letter of credit fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (B) above, the Borrowers shall (x) pay to each Lender that is a Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to each Letter of Credit Issuer and Swingline Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Letter of Credit Issuer’s or Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.
(iv)    Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans shall be reallocated among the Lenders that are Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the aggregate amount of outstanding Loans and outstanding reimbursement obligations in respect of Letters of Credit of any such Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment. Subject to Section 12.29, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.
(v)    Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swingline Loans. If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, (x) first, prepay Swingline Loans in an amount equal to the Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure and (y) second, cash collateralize the Letter of Credit Issuers’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.17.
(b)    Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower Agent, Agent, the Swingline Lender and each Letter of Credit Issuer agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other



Lenders or take such other actions as Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans to be held by the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares (without giving effect to paragraph (a)(iv) above), whereupon, such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
(c)    New Swingline Loans/Letters of Credit. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swingline Loan and (ii) no Letter of Credit Issuer shall be required to issue, extend, increase, reinstate or renew any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.
SECTION 2.13    Letters of Credit.
(a)    Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, upon the request of Borrower Agent made in accordance herewith, each Letter of Credit Issuer agrees (severally, not jointly or jointly and severally) to issue a requested Letter of Credit in the Available Currency for the account of specified Borrowers of a tenor and containing terms acceptable to Agent and such Letter of Credit Issuer, in a maximum aggregate face amount outstanding at any time not to exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit; provided that (i) the Letter of Credit Issuers shall have no obligation to cause to be issued any Letter of Credit with an termination date after the Termination Date, (ii) if a Letter of Credit is issued with an expiration date after the Termination Date, the applicable Borrowers shall Collateralize such Letter of Credit in full immediately and (iii) the Letter of Credit Issuers shall have no obligation to cause to be issued any Letter of Credit if any Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless Letter of Credit Issuers have entered into arrangements, including the cash collateralization, satisfactory to such Letter of Credit Issuer (in its sole discretion) with the Borrower Agent or such Lender to eliminate such Letter of Credit Issuer’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.12(a)(iv)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either such Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or such Letter of Credit and all other Obligations as to which such Letter of Credit Issuer has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion. The term of any Letter of Credit shall not exceed three hundred sixty (360) days from the date of issuance, subject to renewal in accordance with the terms thereof, but in no event to a date beyond the Termination Date. All Letters of Credit shall be subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.5, and a sum equal to the aggregate amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit shall be included in calculating outstanding amounts for purposes of determining compliance with Section 2.5. Without limitation of the foregoing, but for the avoidance of any doubt, the maximum amount of all unexpired Letters of Credit outstanding at any one time, when aggregated with (without duplication) all Revolving Credit Loans and Swingline Loans shall not exceed the lesser of (x) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment and (y) the Borrowing Base.
(b)    Immediately upon issuance, amendment, renewal, or extension of any Letter of Credit by a Letter of Credit Issuer in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.13, without any further action on the part of the Letter of Credit Issuers or the Lenders, each applicable Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received from the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer and Agent, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such Lender’s applicable Pro Rata Share, of the liability and obligations under and with respect to such Letter of Credit and the Letter of Credit Agreement (including all obligations of the applicable



Borrowers with respect thereto, other than amounts owing to such Letter of Credit Issuer or Agent pursuant to the first sentence of Section 4.5) and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto. Each Letter of Credit Issuer shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrower Agent and Agent, to reduce the Letter of Credit Sublimit or resign as Letter of Credit Issuer.
(c)    Whenever Borrower Agent desires the issuance of a Letter of Credit, Borrower Agent shall deliver to Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuers a written notice no later than 2:00 p.m. (Applicable Time Zone) at least ten (10) Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed to by Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuers) in advance of the proposed date of issuance of a letter of credit request substantially in the form attached as Exhibit D and indicating the applicable Borrower requesting such Letter of Credit (a “Letter of Credit Request”). The transmittal by Borrower Agent of each Letter of Credit Request shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by Borrower Agent that the Letter of Credit may be issued in accordance with and will not violate any of the requirements of this Section 2.13. Prior to the date of issuance of each Letter of Credit, Borrower Agent shall provide to Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuers a precise description of the documents and the text of any certificate to be presented by the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit which, if presented by such beneficiary on or prior to the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, would require the Letter of Credit Issuers to make payment under such Letter of Credit. Each of Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuers, in their Permitted Discretion, may require changes in any such documents and certificates. No Letter of Credit shall require payment against a conforming draft to be made thereunder prior to the second Business Day after the date on which such draft is presented.
(d)    Upon any request for a drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, (i) Borrower Agent shall be deemed to have timely given a Notice of Borrowing to Agent for an applicable Revolving Credit Loan on the date on which such drawing is honored in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing and (ii) without regard to satisfaction of the applicable conditions specified in Section 5.2 and the other terms and conditions of borrowings contained herein, the Lenders shall, on the date of such drawing, make Revolving Credit Loans comprised of Base Rate Advances in the amount of such drawing, the proceeds of which shall be applied directly by Agent to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuers for the amount of such drawing or payment. If for any reason, proceeds of Advances are not received by Agent on such date in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing, Borrowers shall reimburse Agent, on the Business Day immediately following the date of such drawing, in an amount in same day funds equal to the excess of the amount of such drawing over the amount of such Loans, if any, which are so received, plus accrued interest on such amount at the rate set forth in Section 4.1(a) or 4.2, as applicable.
(e)    As among Borrowers, Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuers and each Lender, Borrowers assume all risks of the acts and omissions of Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuers (other than for the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent or a Letter of Credit Issuer) or misuse of the Letters of Credit by the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, neither Agent nor any of the Lenders nor the Letter of Credit Issuers shall be responsible (i) for the accuracy, genuineness or legal effects of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of or any drawing honored under such Letters of Credit even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged, (ii) for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit, or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason, (iii) for errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex, telecopy or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher, (iv) for errors in interpretation of technical terms, (v) for any loss or



delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit, or of the proceeds thereof, (vi) for the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit, of the proceeds of any drawing honored under such Letter of Credit, and (vii) for any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Letter of Credit Issuers, Agent or the Lenders, provided, that the foregoing shall not release Agent or the Letter of Credit Issuers for any liability for its gross negligence or willful misconduct. None of the above shall affect, impair, or prevent the vesting of any of Agent’s rights or powers hereunder. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by Agent or a Letter of Credit Issuer under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent or such Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, shall not create any liability of Agent or such Letter of Credit Issuer to any Borrower or any Lender.
(f)    The obligations of Borrowers to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuers for drawings honored under the Letters of Credit and the obligations of the Lenders under this Section 2.13 shall be unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances including the following circumstances: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, or any Letter of Credit Agreement; (ii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which any Borrower or any Affiliate of any Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Persons or entities for whom any such beneficiary or transferee may be acting), Agent, any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the transactions contemplated herein or therein or any unrelated transaction; (iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other documents presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; (iv) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Loan Documents; (v) failure of any drawing under a Letter of Credit or any non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of any drawing; or (vi) that a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
SECTION 2.14    Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender shall obtain at any time any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) on account of Obligations payable to such Lender hereunder at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (a) the amount of such Obligations to (b) the aggregate amount of the Obligations payable to all Lenders hereunder at such time), such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lender) such participations in the Obligations payable to them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that, if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each other Lender shall be rescinded and such other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such other Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the purchase price paid to such Lender to (ii) the aggregate purchase price paid to all Lenders) of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (A) the amount of such other Lender’s required repayment to (B) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. Each Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.14 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.



SECTION 2.15    Protective Advances and Optional Overadvances.
(a)    Protective Advances. Subject to the limitations set forth below and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Agent is authorized by Borrowers and the Lenders, from time to time in Agent’s sole discretion (but shall have absolutely no obligation to), to make Revolving Credit Loans to Borrowers, on behalf of all Lenders, which Agent, in its Permitted Discretion deems necessary or desirable (i) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, (ii) to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Loans or other Obligations or (iii) to pay any other amount chargeable to or required to be paid by the Loan Parties pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including payments of reimbursable expenses (including fees and Lender Group Expenses) and other sums payable under the Loan Documents (any of such Revolving Credit Loans are herein referred to as “Protective Advances”); provided that (i) the aggregate amount of Protective Advances outstanding at any time shall not at any time exceed 10% of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment, (ii) after giving effect to such Revolving Credit Loans, the aggregate outstanding amount (without duplication) of Revolving Credit Loans and the undrawn amount of all unexpired Letters of Credit issued at the request of Borrowers shall not exceed 110% of the Borrowing Base on such Borrowing Date, and (iii) no Protective Advance shall be made pursuant to this Section 2.15 if it would cause the aggregate outstanding amount (without duplication) of Revolving Credit Loans and the undrawn amount of all unexpired Letters of Credit to exceed the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment on such Borrowing Date. Protective Advances may be made even if the conditions precedent to Borrowing set forth in Section 5.2 have not been satisfied. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 2.1, at any time that there is sufficient Excess Availability and the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 have been satisfied, Agent may request the Lenders to make a Revolving Credit Loan to repay a Protective Advance. At any other time Agent may require the Lenders to fund their risk participations described in clause (e) below. Agent’s authorization to make Protective Advances may be revoked at any time by the Required Lenders. Any such revocation must be in writing and shall become effective prospectively upon Agent’s receipt thereof.
(b)    Overadvances. Subject to the limitations set forth below and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Agent is authorized by Borrowers and the Lenders, from time to time in Agent’s sole discretion (but shall have absolutely no obligation to), to knowingly and intentionally, continue to make Revolving Credit Loans to Borrowers notwithstanding that an Overadvance exists or would be created thereby, so long as, after giving effect to such Revolving Credit Loans, the aggregate outstanding amount (without duplication) of Revolving Credit Loans and the undrawn amount of all unexpired Letters of Credit issued at the request of Borrowers shall not exceed the lesser of (i) 110% of the Borrowing Base as of such Borrowing Date, and (ii) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment on such Borrowing Date. In the case of Overadvances that result from Agent knowingly and intentionally continuing to make Revolving Credit Loans to Borrowers notwithstanding that an Overadvance exists or would be created thereby, if such Overadvance remains outstanding for more than thirty (30) days, unless otherwise agreed to by the Required Lenders, Borrowers shall immediately repay the Revolving Credit Loans in an amount sufficient to eliminate all such Overadvances. In the case of all other Overadvances, Borrowers shall within two (2) Business Days of a Responsible Officer’s knowledge thereof repay the Revolving Credit Loans in an amount sufficient to eliminate such Overadvances. Agent’s authorization to make Overadvances may be revoked at any time by the Required Lenders. Any such revocation must be in writing and shall become effective prospectively upon Agent’s receipt thereof. The foregoing provisions are meant for the benefit of the Lenders and Agent and are not meant for the benefit of Borrowers, which shall continue to be bound by the provisions of Section 2.5(a).



(c)    Upon the making of a Protective Advance (other than a Protective Advance made by Agent for its own account pursuant clause (iii) of the proviso in Section 2.15(a) or Section 2.15(b)) or an Overadvance by Agent (whether before or after the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default), each applicable Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from Agent without recourse or warranty an undivided interest and participation in such applicable Protective Advance or such applicable Overadvance, as the case may be, in proportion to its applicable Pro Rata Share. On any Business Day, Agent may, in its sole discretion, give notice to the applicable Lenders that the applicable Lenders are required to fund their risk participation in applicable Protective Advances and applicable Overadvances, in which case each applicable Lender shall fund its participation on the date specified in such notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Agent may also request Settlement of all applicable Protective Advances and applicable Overadvances in accordance with Section 2.3(i). From and after the date, if any, on which any applicable Lender is required to fund its participation in any applicable Protective Advance or applicable Overadvance purchased hereunder, Agent shall promptly distribute to such applicable Lender, such Lender’s applicable Pro Rata Share of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral received by Agent in respect of such applicable Protective Advance or applicable Overadvance.
(d)    Each Protective Advance and each Overadvance shall be deemed to be a Revolving Credit Loan hereunder, except that no Protective Advance nor any Overadvance shall be eligible to be a SOFR Rate Advance and, prior to Settlement therefor, all payments on the Protective Advances and Overadvances, including interest thereon, shall be payable solely to Agent for its own account (and, following the funding by any Lender of its participation in any Protective Advance or Overadvance purchased hereunder, pro rata for the account of the Lenders participating in such Protective Advances and Overadvances). Protective Advances and Overadvances shall be repayable upon demand, shall be secured by the Collateral, shall constitute Loans and Obligations hereunder and shall bear interest at the rate in effect from time to time applicable to the Revolving Credit Loans comprised of Base Rate Advances, including any increase in such rate that is applicable under Section 4.2. The provisions of this Section 2.15 are for the exclusive benefit of Agent, Swingline Lender, and the Lenders and are not intended to benefit Borrowers (or any other Loan Party) in any way.
SECTION 2.16    Increase of Commitments; Additional Lenders.
(a)    Borrowers may increase in one or more installments, upon the request of Borrower Agent, the then effective amount of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment identifying the applicable Revolving Credit Commitment to be increased; provided that: (i)(x) the aggregate principal amount of the increases in the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.16, shall not exceed $75,000,000 and (y) each increase in the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall be in an amount equal to $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; (ii) Borrowers shall execute and deliver such documents and instruments and take such other actions as may be required by Agent in connection with such increases and at the time of any such proposed increase; (iii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur after giving effect to such increase and all representations and warranties by or on behalf of each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries set forth in the Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects (other than those representations and warranties that are expressly qualified by a Material Adverse Effect or other materiality, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of the date of such increase or, to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, true and correct in all material respects on and as of such earlier date; (iv) the Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments provided under this Section 2.16 (the “Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments”) shall have an expiration date no earlier than the



Termination Date; (v) Borrowers shall be in pro forma compliance with the Financial Covenant as of the most recently ended Fiscal Quarter for which Financial Statements have been delivered (regardless of whether or not then tested), calculated as if such Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments had been established (and fully funded) as of the first day of the relevant period for testing compliance; and (vi) all other terms and conditions with respect to the Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments shall, except with respect to All-In Yield (which shall be subject to clause (d) below), be identical to those applicable to the Revolving Credit Commitments or otherwise satisfactory to Agent.
(b)    Agent shall invite each Lender to increase the principal amount of its applicable Revolving Credit Commitment, on a pro rata basis, in connection with the proposed Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments at the interest margin proposed by Borrowers, and if sufficient Lenders do not agree to increase their applicable Revolving Credit Commitments in connection with such proposed Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments, then Agent or Borrowers may invite any prospective lender who is an Eligible Assignee to become a Lender (each such new lender being an “Additional Lender”) in accordance with this Section 2.16. No Lender shall have any obligation, express or implied, to offer to increase the aggregate principal amount of its applicable Revolving Credit Commitment. Only the consent of the Lenders agreeing to increase their applicable Revolving Credit Commitments (the “Increasing Lenders”) shall be required for an increase in the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.16. No Lender which declines to increase the principal amount of its applicable Revolving Credit Commitments may be replaced in respect to its existing applicable Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, as a result thereof without such Lender’s consent.
(c)    Subject to subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 2.16, any increase requested by Borrowers shall be effective upon delivery to Agent of each of the following documents (the date of such effectiveness, the “Increase Date”): (i) an originally executed copy of any instrument of joinder signed by a duly authorized officer of each Additional Lender, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Agent; (ii) a notice to the Increasing Lenders and Additional Lenders, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Agent, signed by a Responsible Officer of Borrower Agent; (iii) a certificate of Borrower Agent signed by a Responsible Officer, in form and substance acceptable to Agent, certifying that each of the conditions in subsection (a) of this Section 2.16 has been satisfied; and (iv) any other certificates, opinions or documents that Agent shall request, each in form and substance satisfactory to Agent.
(d)    Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, the All-In Yield that is to be applicable to the Loans to be made pursuant to the Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments shall be equal to or higher than the All-In Yield applicable to the Loans hereunder immediately prior to the Increase Date; provided that if the All-In Yield that is to be applicable to the Loans to be made pursuant to the Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments is higher than the All-In Yield applicable to the Loans hereunder immediately prior to the Increase Date (the amount by which the All-In Yield is higher, the “Excess”), then the interest margin applicable to the Loans immediately prior to the Increase Date shall be increased by the amount of the Excess, subject to the occurrence of and effective upon the Increase Date and without the necessity of any action by any party hereto.
(e)    Each of the Lenders having a Revolving Credit Commitment prior to the Increase Date (the “Pre-Increase Revolving Credit Lenders”) shall assign to any Lender which is acquiring a new or additional Revolving Credit Commitment on the Increase Date (the “Post-Increase Revolving Credit Lenders”), and such Post-Increase Revolving Credit Lenders shall purchase from each Pre-Increase Revolving Credit Lender, at the principal amount thereof, such interests in the Revolving Credit Loans and participation interests in Swingline Loans and undrawn Letters of Credit on such Increase Date as



shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, such Revolving Credit Loans and participation interests in Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit will be held by Pre-Increase Revolving Credit Lenders and Post-Increase Revolving Credit Lenders ratably in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares after giving effect to such increased Revolving Credit Commitments.
(f)    Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, all references in this Agreement and any other Loan Document to Loans shall be deemed, unless the context otherwise requires, to include Loans made pursuant to the Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.16.
SECTION 2.17    Cash Collateral.
(a)    Obligation to Cash Collateralize. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within one (1) Business Day following the written request of Agent or any Letter of Credit Issuer (with a copy to Agent), the Borrowers shall cash collateralize the Letter of Credit Issuers’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to Section 2.12(a)(iv) and any cash collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount.
(b)    Grant of Security Interest. The U.S. Borrowers, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender incorporated in England and Wales), hereby grants to Agent, for the benefit of the Letter of Credit Issuers, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such cash collateral as security for the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of Letters of Credit, to be applied pursuant to clause (c) below. If at any time Agent determines that such cash collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuers as herein provided, or that the total amount of such cash collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, the Borrowers will, promptly upon demand by Agent, pay or provide to Agent additional cash collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any cash collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).
(c)    Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, cash collateral provided under this Section or Section 2.12 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of Letters of Credit (including, as to cash collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the cash collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.
(d)    Termination of Requirement. Cash collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce any Letter of Credit Issuer’s Fronting Exposure shall no longer be required to be held as cash collateral pursuant to this Section following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (ii) the determination by Agent and each Letter of Credit Issuer that there exists excess cash collateral; provided that, subject to Section 2.12 the Person providing cash collateral and each Letter of Credit Issuer may agree that cash collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations and provided further that to the extent that such cash collateral was provided by the Borrower, such cash collateral shall remain subject to the security interest granted pursuant to the Loan Documents.



SECTION 2.18    Discretionary Guarantors. At any time after the Closing Date, the Borrowers may request to add a wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Borrowers that is otherwise an Excluded Subsidiary as a Discretionary Guarantor, subject to satisfaction of the following requirements:
(a)    the Borrowers shall provide a Notice of Additional Guarantor to the Agent of its request to add any Excluded Subsidiary as a Discretionary Guarantor at least thirty (30) days (or such shorter period as the Agent may agree in sole discretion) prior to the date of such Subsidiary becoming a Discretionary Guarantor;
(b)    with respect to any Foreign Subsidiary organized or incorporated outside of Canada, England or Wales proposed to become a Discretionary Guarantor, the Agent’s prior written consent shall be required to approve the applicable jurisdiction in which such Foreign Subsidiary is organized or incorporated (which may be withheld in the Agent’s reasonable discretion, including if the Agent reasonably determines that such Subsidiary is organized or incorporated under the laws of a jurisdiction where (i) the amount and enforceability of the contemplated guarantee that may be entered into by a Person organized or incorporated in the relevant jurisdiction is adversely limited by applicable Laws or contractual limitations, (ii) the security interests (and the enforceability thereof) that may be granted with respect to assets (or various classes of assets) located in the relevant jurisdiction are adversely limited by applicable Law or (iii) there is any reasonably identifiable adverse political or legal risk to the Lenders or the Agent associated with such jurisdiction);
(c)    the Borrowers and such Discretionary Guarantor shall (i) execute and deliver the documents required to be delivered by a Subsidiary that is not an Excluded Subsidiary under Section 7.20 and any and all further guarantees, security agreements, pledges or similar collateral documentation reasonably requested by, and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to, the Agent, that is reasonable and customary for the jurisdiction of formation or incorporation of such Discretionary Guarantor, which such documentation required for such treatment shall be subject to reasonable and customary guaranty and securities principles for such jurisdiction of such Discretionary Guarantor, and (ii) take all further actions (including the filing and recording of financing statements and other documents) reasonably requested by the Agent to Guarantee the Obligations and grant a perfected security interest in such Discretionary Guarantor’s assets constituting Collateral to secure the Obligations;
(d)    as a condition to the effectiveness of any Subsidiary becoming a Discretionary Guarantor, such Subsidiary shall deliver opinions, board resolutions and officers’ certificates or directors’ certificates (as applicable) and/or other documentation consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 5.1 and all documentation and other information reasonably requested by the Agent or any Lender or required by regulatory authorities in order for the Agent and the Lenders to comply with requirements of any anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the USA PATRIOT Act, the Proceeds of Crime Act or similar or analogous laws or regulations in any other jurisdiction applicable to a Loan Party and any applicable “know your customer” rules and regulations, to the extent reasonably requested by the Agent or any Lender; and
(e)    once the Borrowers make such election under this Section 2.18 with respect to such Discretionary Guarantor, such election shall be binding and such Discretionary Guarantor shall not be able to revert or convert back into or otherwise treated as an Excluded Subsidiary.

(a)    SOFR Replacement.
(i)    Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (a) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (b) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (Applicable Time Zone) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. No document evidencing a Swap shall be deemed to be a “Loan Document” for purposes of this Section 2.14.
(ii)    Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
(iii)    Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Agent will promptly notify the Borrower Agent of the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 4.10(a)(iii). Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the



Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 4.10, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 4.10.
(iv)    Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the administrator of such Benchmark or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks, then the Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable, non-representative, non-compliant or non-aligned tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.
(v)    Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower Agent’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower Agent may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Rate Advances to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrowers will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Advances. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of Base Rate.
SECTION 4.11    Increased Costs.
(a)    If any Change in Law shall:
(i)    impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted Term SOFR) or Letter of Credit Issuer;
(ii)    subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (ii) through (vii) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and



(C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or
(iii)    impose on any Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount), then Borrowers will pay to such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b)    If any Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s or Letter of Credit Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Letter of Credit Issuer’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or Letter of Credit Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Letter of Credit Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or such Letter of Credit Issuer or such Lender’s or such Letter of Credit Issuer’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Letter of Credit Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Letter of Credit Issuer’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), then from time to time Borrowers will pay to such Lender or such Letter of Credit Issuer, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Letter of Credit Issuer or such Lender’s or such Letter of Credit Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(c)    A certificate of a Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 4.11 and delivered to Borrowers will be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrowers will pay such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.
(d)    Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 4.11 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Letter of Credit Issuer’s right to demand such compensation; provided that Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or a Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to this Section 4.11 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, notifies Borrower Agent of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or Letter of Credit Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).



SECTION 4.12    Taxes.
(a)    Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 4.12, the term “Lender” includes any Letter of Credit Issuer and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.
(b)    Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(c)    Payment of Other Taxes by Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
(d)    Indemnification by Loan Parties. The Loan Parties, jointly and severally, shall indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower Agent by a Lender (with a copy to Agent), or by Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(e)    Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.7 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by Agent to such Lender from any other source against any amount due to Agent under this clause (e).
(f)    Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 4.12, such Loan Party shall deliver to Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing



such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Agent.
(g)    [Reserved].
(h)    Status of Lenders.
(i)    Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document (other than in respect of an advance to a U.K. Borrower, to which Section 4.13 shall apply) shall deliver to Borrower Agent and Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower Agent or Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower Agent or Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrower Agent or Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower Agent or Agent as will enable Borrower Agent or Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation (i) set forth in Section 4.12(h)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
(ii)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
(A)    any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Borrower Agent and Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower Agent or Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax;
(B)    any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower Agent and Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower Agent or Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
(1)    in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;



(2)    executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;
(3)    in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit K-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of any Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to the U.S. Borrowers as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or
(4)    to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit K-2 or Exhibit K-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit K-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
(C)    any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower Agent and Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower Agent or Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit Borrower Agent or Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made;
(D)    if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Sections 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to Borrower Agent and Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower Agent or Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower Agent or Agent as may be necessary for Borrowers and Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement;



(E)    On or before the date the Agent becomes a party to this Agreement, the Agent shall deliver to the Borrower Agent whichever of the following is applicable: (a) if the Agent is a U.S. Person, two executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Agent is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax and that it is either (x) a “U.S. person” and a “financial institution” and that it will comply with its “obligation to withhold,” each within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1441-1(b)(2)(ii) or (y) hereby represents that it will otherwise handle US withholding Tax compliance with respect to payments to the Lenders (such that the Borrowers can make such payments to the Agent without collecting U.S. withholding Tax) or (b) if the Agent is not a U.S. Person, (x) two executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI or W-8BEN-E (or successor forms) (together with all required accompanying documentation) with respect to any amounts payable to Agent for its own account and (y) two (2) executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY (or successor form) certifying that the Agent is a “qualified intermediary” or a “U.S. branch” for the amounts the Agent receives for the account of others. At any time thereafter, the Agent shall provide updated documentation previously provided (or a successor form thereto) when any documentation previously delivered has expired or become obsolete or invalid or otherwise upon the reasonable request of the Borrower.
Each Lender agrees that if any form, certification or documentation it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form, certification or documentation or promptly notify Borrower Agent and Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(i)    Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 4.12 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.12), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this clause (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this clause (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this clause (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(k)    [Reserved].



(l)    Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 4.12 shall survive the resignation or replacement of Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.
SECTION 4.13    U.K. Tax Matters.
(a)    U.K. Tax Deduction.
(i)    A U.K. Borrower shall, promptly upon becoming aware that it must make a U.K. Tax Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of a U.K. Tax Deduction) notify the Agent accordingly. Similarly, a Lender shall notify the Agent on becoming so aware in respect of a payment payable to that Lender. If the Agent receives such notification from a Lender it shall notify the U.K. Borrower.
(ii)    (A) Subject to Section 4.13(ii)(B) below, a U.K. Treaty Lender and a U.K. Borrower making a payment to which that U.K. Treaty Lender is entitled shall co-operate in completing any procedural formalities necessary for a U.K. Borrower to obtain authorization to make that payment without a U.K. Tax Deduction.

(iii)    If a Lender has confirmed its scheme reference number and jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with Section 4.13(a)(ii)(B) above and:
(A)    a U.K. Borrower making a payment to that Lender has not made a U.K. Borrower DTTP Filing in respect of that Lender; or
(B)    a U.K. Borrower making a payment to that Lender has made a U.K. Borrower DTTP Filing in respect of that Lender but:
(1)    that U.K. Borrower DTTP Filing has been rejected by HM Revenue & Customs;
(2)    HM Revenue & Customs has not given a U.K. Borrower authority to make payment to that Lender without a U.K. Tax Deduction within 60 days of the date of the U.K. Borrower DTTP Filing; or



(3)    HM Revenue & Customs has given a U.K. Borrower authority to make payments to that Lender without a U.K. Tax Deduction but such authority has subsequently been revoked or expired,
and in each case, a U.K. Borrower has notified that Lender in writing, that Lender and a U.K. Borrower shall co-operate in completing any additional procedural formalities necessary for the U.K. Borrower to obtain authorization to make that payment without a U.K. Tax Deduction.
(iv)    If a Lender has not included an indication to the effect that it wishes the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme to apply to this Agreement in accordance with Section 4.13(a)(ii)(B), no Loan Party shall make any U.K. Borrower DTTP Filing or file any other form relating to the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme in respect of that Lender’s advance or its participation in any advance unless the Lender otherwise agrees.
(v)    A U.K. Borrower shall, promptly on making the U.K. Borrower DTTP Filing, deliver a copy of the U.K. Borrower DTTP Filing to the Agent for delivery to the relevant Lender.
(vi)    A U.K. Non-Bank Lender shall promptly notify a U.K. Borrower and the Agent if there is any change in the position from that set out in the U.K. Tax Confirmation.
(vii)    Each Lender which becomes a party to this Agreement after the date of this Agreement shall indicate, in the documentation which it executes on becoming a party to this Agreement as a Lender, and for the benefit of the Agent and without liability to any Lender, which of the following categories it falls within:
(A)    not a U.K. Qualifying Lender;
(B)    a U.K. Qualifying Lender (other than a U.K. Treaty Lender); or
(C)    a U.K. Treaty Lender.
If such a Lender fails to indicate its status in accordance with this Section 4.13(a)(vii), then that Lender shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement (including by a U.K. Borrower) as if it is not a U.K. Qualifying Lender until such time as it notifies the Agent which category applies (and the Agent, upon receipt of such notification, shall inform the Borrowers). For the avoidance of doubt, the documentation which a Lender executes on becoming a party to this Agreement as a Lender shall not be invalidated by any failure of that Lender to comply with this Section 4.13(vii).
(b)    VAT.
(i)    All amounts set out or expressed in a Loan Document to be payable by any party to any Lender and/or any Agent (a “Finance Party”) which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for a supply or supplies for VAT purposes shall be deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on such supply or supplies, and accordingly, subject to Section 4.13(b)(ii) below, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Finance Party to any party under a Loan Document and that Finance Party is required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, that party shall pay to the Finance Party (in addition to and at



the same time as paying any other consideration for such supply) an amount equal to the amount of such VAT (and such Finance Party shall promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to such party).
(ii)    If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Finance Party (the “Supplier”) to any other Finance Party (the “Receiving Finance Party”) under a Loan Document, and any party other than the Receiving Finance Party (the “Subject Party”) is required by the terms of any Loan Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for such supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse the Receiving Finance Party in respect of that consideration),
(A) (where the Supplier is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT) the Subject Party must also pay to the Supplier (at the same time as paying that amount) an additional amount equal to the amount of the VAT. The Receiving Finance Party must (where this Section 4.13(b)(ii)(A) applies) promptly pay to the Subject Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment the Receiving Finance Party receives from the relevant tax authority which the Receiving Finance Party reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply; and
(B) (where the Receiving Finance Party is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT) the Subject Party must promptly, following demand from the Receiving Finance Party, pay to the Receiving Finance Party an amount equal to the VAT chargeable on that supply but only to the extent that the Receiving Finance Party reasonably determines that it is not entitled to credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of that VAT.
(iii)    Where a Loan Document requires any party to reimburse or indemnify a Finance Party for any cost or expense, that party shall reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) such Finance Party against the VAT incurred by the Finance Party in respect of the cost or expense, save to the extent that such Finance Party reasonably determines that it is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority.
(iv)    Any reference in this Section 4.13(b) to any party shall, at any time when such party is treated as a member of a group for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the person who is treated at that time as making the supply, or (as appropriate) receiving the supply, under the grouping rules (provided for in Article 11 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC (or as implemented by the relevant member state of the European Union) or any other similar provision in any jurisdiction which is not a member state of the European Union, including but not limited to the Value Added Tax Act 1994) so that a reference to a party shall be construed as a reference to that party or the relevant group or unity (or fiscal unity) of which that party is a member for VAT purposes at the relevant time or the relevant representative member (or head) of that group or unity (or fiscal unity) at the relevant time (as the case may be).
(v)    In relation to any supply made by a Finance Party to any party under a Loan Document, if reasonably requested by such Finance Party, that party must promptly provide such Finance Party with details of that party’s VAT registration and such other information as is



reasonably requested in connection with such Finance Party’s VAT reporting requirements in relation to such supply.
(c)    If: (i) a Lender assigns, novates, transfers, sub-participates, sub-contracts or otherwise disposes of any of its rights or obligations under the Loan Documents or changes its lending office or branch; and (ii) as a result of circumstances existing at the date the assignment, novation, transfer, sub-participation, sub-contract or other change occurs, a U.K. Borrower would be obliged to make a payment to the relevant Lender, new Lender or Lender acting through its new office or branch under Section 4.12 or 4.13 on account of a Tax Deduction, then the relevant Lender, new Lender or Lender acting through its new office or branch is not entitled to receive payment under Section 4.12 or Section 4.13 to the extent such payment would be greater than the payment that would have been made to the existing Recipient or Recipient acting through its previous office or branch had the assignment, novation, transfer, sub-participation, sub-contract or other change not occurred.

Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given.

(a)    Each Lender hereby designates Citibank as its agent and irrevocably authorizes it to take action on such Lender’s behalf under the Loan Documents and to exercise the powers and to perform the duties described therein and to exercise such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Agent may perform any of its duties by or through its agents or employees or by or through one or more sub-agents appointed by it.
(b)    The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of Agent and the Lenders, and except as expressly set forth herein, no Loan Party shall have any rights as third party beneficiaries or otherwise with respect to any of the provisions hereof. Agent shall act solely as agent of the Lenders and assume no obligation toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for Borrowers.
SECTION 11.2    Nature of Duties. Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Neither Agent nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for any action taken or omitted by it or them as such hereunder or in connection herewith, unless caused by its or their gross negligence or willful misconduct. The duties of Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature. Agent shall not have a fiduciary relationship with or any implied duties to any Lender or any participant of any Lender.
SECTION 11.3    Lack of Reliance.
(a)    Independent Investigation. Independently and without reliance upon Agent, each Lender, to the extent it deems appropriate, has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the financial or other condition and affairs of Borrowers and the other Loan Parties in connection with taking or not taking any action related hereto and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of Borrowers and the other Loan Parties, and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the Closing Date or at any time or times thereafter.
(b)    No Obligation. Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any document, certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability, priority or sufficiency of this Agreement or the Notes or the financial or other condition of Borrowers and the other Loan Parties. Agent shall not be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the financial condition of Borrowers and the other Loan Parties, or the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default.
SECTION 11.4    Certain Rights of Agent. Agent may request instructions from the Required Lenders at any time. If Agent requests instructions from the Required Lenders with respect to any action or inaction, it shall be entitled to await instructions from the Required Lenders. No Lender shall have any right of action based upon Agent’s action or inaction in response to instructions from the Required Lenders.



SECTION 11.5    Reliance. Agent may rely upon any written, electronic or telephonic communication it believes to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person. Agent may obtain the advice of legal counsel (including counsel for Borrowers with respect to matters concerning Borrowers), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall have no liability for any action or inaction taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith based upon such advice.
SECTION 11.6    Indemnification. To the extent Agent is not reimbursed and indemnified by Borrowers, each Lender will reimburse and indemnify Agent and each of their affiliates, directors, officers and employees to the extent of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (determined as of the time that such indemnity payment is sought) for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent, or their respective affiliates, directors, officers or employees in performing its duties hereunder or otherwise relating to the Loan Documents unless resulting from Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in a final and non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. The agreements contained in this Section shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the Payment in Full of the Obligations.
SECTION 11.7    Agent in Its Individual Capacity. In its individual capacity, Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender or holder of a Note or participation interest and may exercise the same as though it was not performing the duties specified herein. The terms “Lenders,” “Required Lenders,” “holders of Notes,” or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include Citibank in its individual capacity. Agent and each of their Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, acquire equity interests in, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory or other business with Borrowers or any Affiliate of Borrowers as if it were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from Borrowers for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders.
SECTION 11.8    Holders of Notes. Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof shall have been filed with Agent. Any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any Note, shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee or assignee of such Note or of any Note or Notes issued in exchange therefor.
SECTION 11.9    Successor Agent.
(a)    Resignation. Agent may, upon twenty (20) Business Days’ notice to the Lenders and Borrowers, resign by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and Borrowers. If, at the time that Agent’s resignation is effective, it is acting as Letter of Credit Issuer or Swingline Lender, such resignation shall also operate to effectuate its resignation as Letter of Credit Issuer or Swingline Lender, as applicable, and it shall automatically be relieved of any further obligation to issue Letters of Credit, or to make Swingline Loans.
(b)    Replacement of Agent after Resignation. Upon receipt of notice of resignation by Agent, the Required Lenders may appoint a successor agent, which shall also be a Lender. If a successor agent has not accepted its appointment within fifteen (15) Business Days, then the retiring Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor which, so long as



no Event of Default then exists, shall be subject to the written approval of Borrower Agent, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld and shall be delivered to the retiring Agent and the Lenders within ten (10) Business Days after Borrower Agent’s receipt of notice of a proposed successor agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Disqualified Institution may be appointed as a successor Agent unless an Event of Default exists.
(c)    Removal of Agent. If the Person serving as Agent is a Defaulting Lender, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Borrowers and such Person as Agent and, in consultation with the Borrower, appoint a successor thereto.
(d)    Discharge. Upon its acceptance of the agency hereunder, such successor Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. The retiring Agent shall continue to have the benefit of the provisions of this Article for any action or inaction while it was Agent.
SECTION 11.10    Collateral Matters.
(a)    Exercise Binding. Except as otherwise set forth herein, any action or exercise of powers by Agent provided under the Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be deemed authorized by and binding upon all of the Lenders. At any time and without notice to or consent from any Lender, Agent may take any action necessary or advisable to perfect and maintain the perfection of the Liens upon the Collateral.
(b)    Releases. Agent is authorized to release any Lien granted to or held by it upon any Collateral (i) upon Payment in Full of all of the Obligations, (ii) required to be delivered in connection with permitted sales or other dispositions of Collateral hereunder, as set forth in Section 11.10(c) or (iii) if the release can be and is approved by the Required Lenders. Agent may request, and the Lenders will provide, confirmation of Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral.
(c)    Sale of Collateral. Upon any sale or transfer of Collateral which is expressly permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or consented to in writing by the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders, as applicable, and upon at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written request (or such shorter period as Agent may agree to in its sole discretion) by Borrower Agent, Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Liens granted to Agent herein or under any of the other Loan Documents or pursuant hereto or thereto upon the Collateral that was sold or transferred, provided that (i) Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in Agent’s opinion, would expose Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Liens upon (or obligations of Borrowers in respect of) all interests retained by Borrowers, including the proceeds of the sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral. In the event of any sale or transfer of Collateral, or any foreclosure with respect to any of the Collateral, Agent shall be authorized to deduct all of the expenses reasonably incurred by Agent from the proceeds of any such sale, transfer or foreclosure.
(d)    No Obligation for Agent. Agent shall not have any obligation to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by any Borrower, that the Collateral is cared for, protected or insured, or that



the Liens on the Collateral have been created or perfected or have any particular priority. With respect to the Collateral, Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given Citibank’s own interest in the Collateral as one of the Lenders, and it shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to the Lenders with respect thereto, except for its gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in a final and non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction.
SECTION 11.11    Actions with Respect to Defaults. In addition to Agent’s right to take actions on its own accord as permitted under this Agreement, Agent shall take such action with respect to an Event of Default as shall be directed by the Required Lenders. Until Agent shall have received such directions, Agent may act or not act as it deems advisable and in the best interests of the Lenders.
SECTION 11.12    Delivery of Information. Agent shall not be required to deliver to any Lender originals or copies of any documents, instruments, notices, communications or other information received by Agent from Borrowers, the Required Lenders, any Lender or any other Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document except (i) as specifically provided in this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (ii) as specifically requested from time to time in writing by any Lender with respect to a specific document, instrument, notice or other written communication received by and in the possession of Agent at the time of receipt of such request and then only in accordance with such specific request.

(b)    In addition, unless either (1) sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or (2) a Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrowers or any other Loan Party, that Agent is not a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).
SECTION 11.14    Erroneous Payment.

A notice of Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(b)    Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender, Letter of Credit Issuer or Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, Letter of Credit Issuer or Secured Party such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer, hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a



different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender, Letter of Credit Issuer or Secured Party, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) in each case:
(i)    (A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and
(ii)    such Lender, Letter of Credit Issuer or Secured Party shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying Agent pursuant to this Section 11.14(b).
(c)    Each Lender, Letter of Credit Issuer or Secured Party hereby authorizes Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender, Letter of Credit Issuer or Secured Party under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by Agent to such Lender, Letter of Credit Issuer or Secured Party from any source, against any amount due to Agent under immediately preceding clause (a) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.
(d)    In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by Agent in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon Agent’s notice to such Lender or Issuing Lender at any time, (i) such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but not its Commitments) of the relevant Class with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by Agent in such instance), and is hereby (together with the Borrower Agent) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Acceptance by reference pursuant to a Platform as to which Agent and such parties are participants) with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrower Agent or Agent, (ii) Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender or assigning Letter of Credit Issuer shall cease to be a Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender or assigning Letter of Credit Issuer and (iv) Agent may reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. Agent may, in its discretion, sell any



Loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof), and Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In addition, each party hereto agrees that, except to the extent that Agent has sold a Loan (or portion thereof) acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and irrespective of whether Agent may be equitably subrogated, Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of the applicable Lender, Letter of Credit Issuer or Secured Party under the Loan Documents with respect to each Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”).
(e)    The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrowers or any other Loan Party, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by Agent from the Borrowers or any other Loan Party for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.
(f)    To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.
(g)    Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 11.14 shall survive the resignation or replacement of Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

This Section 12.4(a) shall not apply with respect to: (i) Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim; or (ii) recoverable VAT.
(b)    In addition, Borrowers shall, upon demand, pay to each of Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuers and the Lenders all Lender Group Expenses incurred by each of them.
(c)    If and to the extent that the obligations of any Borrower hereunder are unenforceable for any reason, Borrowers hereby agree to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of such obligations that is permissible under applicable law.

SECTION 12.5    Amendments, Waivers and Consents. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (other than the Fee Letter), or consent to any departure by the Loan Parties therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Borrower Agent on behalf of each Borrower and/or other Loan Party party thereto and the Required Lenders (or by Agent at their instruction on their behalf), and then such amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by Borrower Agent on behalf of each Borrower and/or other Loan Party party thereto and all the Lenders, do any of the following at any time: (a) change the number or percentage of Lenders that shall be required for the Lenders or any of them to take any action hereunder; (b) amend the definition of “Required Lenders”, “Super Majority Lenders” or “Pro Rata Share”; (c) amend Section 2.14, or this Section 12.5; (d) reduce the amount of principal of, or interest on, or the interest rate applicable to, the Loans or Letters of Credit

Anything in this Section 12.5 to the contrary notwithstanding, any amendment, waiver, modification, elimination, or consent of or with respect to any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be entered into without the consent of, or over the objection of, any Defaulting Lender and the Loans of any Defaulting Lender shall be excluded in determining whether all Lenders or the Required Lenders have taken or may take action hereunder, other than (x) any of the matters governed by Section 12.5(d) and (e) that affect such Lender and (y) with respect to any amendment, waiver, modification, elimination or consent requiring the consent of all Lenders that by its terms specifically discriminates against such Defaulting Lender.
SECTION 12.6    Nonliability of Agent and Lenders. The relationship between and among Borrowers, Agent, and the Lenders shall be solely that of borrower, agent, and lender, respectively. Neither the Lenders nor Agent shall have any fiduciary responsibilities to Borrowers. Neither the Lenders nor Agent undertakes any responsibility to Borrowers to review or inform Borrowers of any matter in connection with any phase of Borrowers’ business or operations.
SECTION 12.7    Assignments and Participations.
(a)    Borrower Assignment. No Borrower shall assign this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Agent and the Lenders, and any assignment in contravention of the foregoing shall be absolutely null and void.



(b)    Lender Assignments. Each Lender may, with the consent of Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld) and, so long as no Event of Default then exists, Borrower Agent (which such consent of Borrower Agent (x) shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, (y) shall be deemed to be given if Borrower Agent has not objected by written notice to Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof and (z) shall not be required in connection with an assignment to a Person that is a Lender or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of a Lender, provided that, if such Lender, Affiliate or Approved Fund of a Lender (1) intends to lend to the U.K. Borrower and (2) is a U.K. Treaty Lender, that Lender, Affiliate or Approved Fund of a Lender holds a valid passport under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme and wishes that scheme to apply to this Agreement), assign to one or more Eligible Assignees (or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to one or more other Persons) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents upon execution and delivery to Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, of an Assignment and Acceptance, together with surrender of any Note or Notes subject to such assignment and a processing and recordation fee payable to Agent for its account of $3,500. No such assignment shall be for less than $5,000,000 of the Commitments or Loans unless it is to another Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans, and each such assignment shall be of a uniform, and not a varying, percentage of all rights and obligations in respect of the Commitments and the Loans. Upon the execution and delivery to Agent of an Assignment and Acceptance and the payment of the recordation fee to Agent, from and after the date specified as the effective date in the Assignment and Acceptance (the “Acceptance Date”), (i) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto, and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it under such Assignment and Acceptance, such assignee shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (ii) the assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it under such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (other than any rights it may have under Section 4.3, Section 4.11, Section 4.12, Section 4.12 and Section 12.4, which shall survive such assignment) and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).
(c)    Agreements of Assignee. By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder confirms and agrees as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Documents, (ii) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of any Loan Party or the performance or observance by any Loan Party of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (iii) such assignee confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee and has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the Financial Statements referred to in Section 6.1(i), the Financial Statements delivered pursuant to Section 7.11, if any, and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance, (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement, (v) such assignee appoints and authorizes Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, and (vi) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.



(d)    Agent’s Register. Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent, shall maintain a register of the names and addresses of the Lenders, their Commitments and the principal amount (and stated interest) of their Loans (the “Register”). Agent shall also maintain a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and modify the Register to give effect to each Assignment and Acceptance. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and Borrowers, Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register and copies of each Assignment and Acceptance shall be available for inspection by Borrowers or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. It is intended that the Register be maintained such that Loans are in “registered form” for the purposes of the Code. Upon its receipt of each Assignment and Acceptance and surrender of the affected Note or Notes subject to such assignment, Agent will give prompt notice thereof to Borrower Agent. Within five (5) Business Days after its receipt of such notice, Borrowers shall execute and deliver to Agent a new Note to the assignee in the amount of the applicable Commitment or Loans assumed by it and to the assignor in the amount of the applicable Commitment or Loans retained by it, if any. Such new Note or Notes shall re-evidence the indebtedness outstanding under the surrendered Note or Notes, shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such surrendered Note or Notes and shall be dated as of the Acceptance Date. Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the Register exclusively for purposes of identifying the Lenders hereunder.
(e)    Securitization. The Loan Parties hereby acknowledge that the Lenders and their Affiliates and Approved Funds may securitize their Loans (a “Securitization”) through the pledge of the Loans as collateral security for loans to the Lenders or their Affiliates or Approved Funds or through the sale of the Loans or the issuance of direct or indirect interests in the Loans to their controlled Affiliates or Approved Funds, which loans to the Lenders or their Affiliates or Approved Funds or direct or indirect interests will be rated by Moody’s, S&P or one or more other rating agencies. The Loan Parties shall, to the extent commercially reasonable, cooperate with the Lenders and their Affiliates and Approved Funds to effect any and all Securitizations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such Securitization shall release any Lender party thereto from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any pledgee, secured party or any other party to such Securitization for such Lender as a party hereto and no change in ownership of the Loans may be effected except pursuant to subsection (b) above.
(f)    Lender Participations. Each Lender may sell participations to one or more parties (each, a “Participant”) in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents (in each case, other than to a Disqualified Institution (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in which case this restriction shall not apply)). Notwithstanding a Lender’s sale of a participation interest, such Lender’s obligations hereunder shall remain unchanged. Borrowers, Agent, and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender. No Lender shall grant any Participant the right to approve any amendment or waiver of this Agreement except to the extent such amendment or waiver would (i) increase the Commitment of the Lender from which the Participant purchased its participation interest; (ii) reduce the principal of, or rate or amount of interest on, the Loans or participations in Letters of Credit subject to such participation interest; or (iii) postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Loans or participations in Letters of Credit subject to such participation interest. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Participant shall also be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.3, Section 4.11, Section 4.12 and 12.412.4 as if it were a Lender (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 4.12(h) shall be delivered to the participating Lender), provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to the last sentence of Section 2.9(b) as if it were a Lender and shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 4.12, with respect to any participation, than its participating



Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under the Code, including Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations (or its successor). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, Agent (in its capacity as administrative agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(g)    Securities Laws. Each Lender agrees that it will not make any assignment hereunder in any manner or under any circumstances that would require registration or qualification of, or filings in respect of, any Loan, Note or other Obligation under the securities laws of the United States or of any other jurisdiction.
(h)    Information. In connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation or any grant of a security interest in, or pledge of, its rights under and interest in this Agreement, a Lender may, subject to the provisions of Section 12.21, disclose all documents and information which it now or hereafter may have relating to any Loan Party and its Subsidiaries and their respective businesses.
(i)    Pledge to Federal Reserve Bank. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (other than to any Disqualified Institution) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest, provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
(j)    Disqualified Institutions; No Agent Responsibility. Upon the request of any Lender, Agent may, and the Borrowers will, make the list of Disqualified Institutions under clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of the definition thereof available to such Lender so long as such Lender agrees to keep the list of Disqualified Institutions confidential in accordance with the terms hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each Loan Party and each Lender acknowledges and agrees that Agent shall not have any responsibility or obligation to determine whether any Lender or potential Lender is a Disqualified Institution or an Eligible Assignee and Agent shall not have any liability with respect to any assignment or participation made to any Disqualified Institution (regardless of whether the consent of Agent is required thereto), and none of the Loan Parties, any Lender or their respective Affiliates or Approved Funds will bring any claim to such effect.
(k)    Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such



additional payments to Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower Agent and 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 (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to Agent, each Letter of Credit Issuer, Swingline Lender and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full Pro Rata Share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under Requirements of 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.
SECTION 12.8    Counterparts; Electronic Execution. This Agreement and any waiver or amendment hereto may be executed in counterparts and by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement (or other Loan Document) by telecopy, emailed .pdf or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of the actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement (or other Loan Document). The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement (or other Loan Document) and the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries 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, physical delivery thereof 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 12.9    Severability. In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement, any Note or any other Loan Document shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
SECTION 12.10    Maximum Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, the parties hereto hereby agree that all agreements between them under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever shall the amount paid, or agreed to be paid, to Agent or any Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the money loaned to Borrowers and evidenced hereby or thereby or for the performance or payment of any covenant or obligation contained herein or therein, exceed the maximum non-usurious interest rate, if any, that at any time or from time to time may be contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received on the Obligations, under the laws of the State of New York (or the laws of any other jurisdiction whose laws may be mandatorily applicable notwithstanding other provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents), or under applicable federal laws which may presently or hereafter be in effect and which allow a higher maximum non-usurious interest rate than under the laws of the State of New York (or such other jurisdiction), in any case after taking into account, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any and all relevant payments or charges under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents executed in connection herewith, and any available exemptions, exceptions and



exclusions (the “Highest Lawful Rate”). If due to any circumstance whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents at the time performance of such provision shall be due shall exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, then, automatically, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be modified or reduced to the extent necessary to limit such interest to the Highest Lawful Rate, and if from any such circumstance Agent or any Lender should ever receive anything of value deemed interest by applicable law which would exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, such excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount then outstanding hereunder or on account of any other then outstanding Obligations and not to the payment of interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds the principal unpaid balance then outstanding hereunder and such other then outstanding Obligations, such excess shall be refunded to Borrowers. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Agent or any Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the Obligations and other Indebtedness of Borrowers to Agent and the Lenders shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of such Indebtedness, until Payment in Full thereof, so that the actual rate of interest on account of all such Indebtedness does not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate throughout the entire term of such Indebtedness. The terms and provisions of this Section shall control every other provision of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and all other agreements among the parties hereto.
SECTION 12.11    Borrower Agent; Borrowers, Jointly and Severally.
(a)    Economies of Scale. Each Borrower acknowledges that it, together with each other Borrower, make up a related organization of various entities constituting a single economic and business enterprise and sharing a substantial identity of interests such that, without limitation, Borrowers render services to or for the benefit of each other, purchase or sell and supply goods to or from or for the benefit of each other, make loans, advances and provide other financial accommodations to or for the benefit of each other (including the payment of creditors and guarantees of Indebtedness), provide administrative, marketing, payroll and management services to or for the benefit of each other; have centralized accounting, common officers and directors; and are in certain circumstances are identified to creditors as a single economic and business enterprise. Accordingly, and without limitation, any credit or other financial accommodation extended to any one Borrower pursuant hereto will result in direct and substantial economic benefit to each other Borrower, and each Borrower will likewise benefit from the economies of scale associated with Borrowers, as a group, applying for credit or other financial accommodations pursuant hereto on a collective basis.
(b)    Attorney. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably designates Borrower Agent to be its attorney and agent and in such capacity to borrow, sign and endorse notes, and execute and deliver all instruments, documents, writings and further assurances now or hereafter required hereunder, including amendments, waivers and consents of the Loan Documents, on behalf of such Borrower or Borrowers, collectively, and hereby authorizes Agent to pay over or credit all loan proceeds hereunder in accordance with the request of Borrower Agent.
(c)    Co-Borrowers. The handling of this credit facility as a co-borrowing facility with a Borrower Agent in the manner set forth in this Agreement is solely as an accommodation to Borrowers and at their request. Neither the Lenders nor Agent shall incur any liability to Borrowers as a result thereof. To induce Agent and the Lenders to do so and in consideration thereof, each Borrower hereby indemnifies Agent and the Lenders and holds Agent and the Lenders harmless from and against any and all liabilities, expenses, losses, damages and claims of damage or injury asserted against Agent or any Lender by any Person arising from or incurred by reason of the handling of the financing arrangements of Borrowers as provided herein, reliance by Agent or any Lender on any request or instruction from



Borrower Agent or any other action taken by Agent or any Lender with respect to this Section except due to willful misconduct or gross (not mere) negligence by the indemnified party.
(d)    Waivers. Each Borrower expressly waives any and all rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnity, exoneration, contribution or any other claim which such Borrower may now or hereafter have against the other Borrowers or other Person directly or contingently liable for the Obligations hereunder, or against or with respect to the other Borrowers’ property (including any property which is Collateral for the Obligations), arising from the existence or performance of this Agreement, until termination of this Agreement and Payment in Full of the Obligations.
(e)    Joint and Several Obligations. Each Borrower’s liabilities in respect of the Obligations shall at all times be joint and several and shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of: (i) any lack of validity, regularity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (ii) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (iii) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any security interest in any collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guaranty, for all or any of the Obligations; (iv) any failure on the part of Agent or any Lender or any other Person to exercise, or any delay in exercising, any right under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or (v) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any of Borrowers, any Guarantor or any other guarantor with respect to the Obligations (including all defenses based on suretyship or impairment of collateral, and all defenses that any of Borrowers may assert to the repayment of the Obligations, including failure of consideration, breach of warranty, payment, statute of frauds, bankruptcy, lack of legal capacity, statute of limitations, lender liability, accord and satisfaction, and usury), this Agreement and the obligations of Borrowers under this Agreement. The joint and several liabilities of Borrowers hereunder shall remain in full force and effect until the Obligations have been Paid in Full.
(f)    Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the amount of the Obligations for which each Borrower is jointly and severally liable hereunder shall be the aggregate amount of the Obligations unless a court of competent jurisdiction adjudicates such Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement (or the amount thereof) to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including because of any applicable state or federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers), in which case the amount of the Obligations payable by such Borrower hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount of the Obligations that could be incurred by such Borrower without rendering such Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement invalid or unenforceable under such applicable law.
SECTION 12.12    Entire Agreement; Successors and Assigns; Interpretation. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement among the parties, supersede any prior written and verbal agreements among them with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and shall bind and benefit the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement shall be deemed to have been jointly drafted, and no provision of it shall be interpreted or construed for or against a party because such party purportedly prepared or requested such provision, any other provision, or this Agreement as a whole.

SECTION 12.19    Publicity. With Borrower Agent’s prior written consent, Agent may (a) publish in any trade or other publication or otherwise publicize to any third party (including its Affiliates) a tombstone, article, press release or similar material relating to the financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the use of company logos); and Agent will consult with the Borrowers in connection with the substance and information contained in any article or press release, and (b) provide to industry trade organizations related information necessary and customary for inclusion in league table measurements.
SECTION 12.20    No Third Party Beneficiaries. Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document is intended or shall be construed to confer any rights or benefits upon any Person other than the parties hereto and thereto.

With Borrower Agent’s prior written consent, Agent or the Lenders may publish or disseminate general information describing this credit facility, including the names and addresses of Borrowers and a general description of Borrowers’ businesses, and may use Borrowers’ logos, trademarks or product photographs in advertising materials and league table purposes, as provided in Section 12.19. As used herein, “Information” means all information received from a Loan Party relating to it or its business that a reasonable person would consider confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information pursuant to this Section shall be deemed to have complied if it exercises the same degree of care that it accords its own confidential information. Agent and the Lenders acknowledge that (i) Information may include material non-public information concerning a Loan Party; (ii) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information; and (iii) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable law, including federal and state securities laws.

Agent and each Lender hereby notifies the Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the PATRIOT Act, Agent and each Lender is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, including its legal name, address, tax ID number and other information that will allow Agent and each Lender to identify it in accordance with the PATRIOT Act.
SECTION 12.23    U.K. Know Your Customer.
(a)    If (i) the introduction of or any change in (or in the interpretation, administration or application of) any law or regulation made after the date of this Agreement; (ii) any change in the status of a UK Loan Party after the date of this Agreement; (iii) a proposed assignment or transfer by a Lender of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to a party that is not a Lender prior to such assignment or transfer; or (iv) any law, regulation, applicable market guidance or internal policy in relation to the period review and/or updating of customer information obliges the Agent or any Lender (or, in the case of paragraph (iii) above, any prospective new Lender) to comply with “know your customer” or similar identification procedures in circumstances where the necessary information is not already available to it, each UK Loan Party shall promptly upon the request of the Agent or any Lender supply, or procure the supply of, such documentation and other evidence as is reasonably requested by the Agent (for itself or on behalf of any Lender) or any Lender (for itself or, in the case of the event described in paragraph (iii) above, on behalf of any prospective new Lender) in order for the Agent, such Lender or, in the case of the event described in paragraph (iii) above, any prospective new Lender to carry out and be satisfied it has complied with all necessary “know your customer” or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations pursuant to the transactions contemplated in the Loan Document.
(b)    Each Lender shall promptly upon the request of the supply, or procure the supply of, such documentation and other evidence as is reasonably requested by the Agent (for itself) in order for the Agent to carry out and be satisfied it has complied with all necessary “know your customer” or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations pursuant to the transactions contemplated in the Loan Documents.
SECTION 12.24    Advice of Counsel. Each Borrower acknowledges that it has been advised by counsel in connection with the execution of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and is not relying upon oral representations or statements inconsistent with the terms and provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
SECTION 12.25    Captions. The captions at various places in this Agreement and any other Loan Document are intended for convenience only and do not constitute and shall not be interpreted as part of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
SECTION 12.26    Platform.
(a)    The Borrowers agree that Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the Communications (as defined below) available to the Letter of Credit Issuers and the Lenders by posting the Communications on the Platform.
(b)    The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.” The Agent Parties (as defined below) do not warrant the adequacy of the Platform and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Communications. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Agent Party in connection with the



Communications or the Platform. In no event shall Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, employees, advisors, shareholders, attorneys or Affiliates (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to any Borrower, any Lender or any other Person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrowers’ or Agent’s transmission of communications through the Platform, unless it is determined by a final and nonappealable judgment or court order that the damages were the result of acts or omissions constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent Party. “Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material provided by or on behalf of the Borrowers pursuant to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated therein that is distributed to Agent, any Lender or any Letter of Credit Issuer by means of electronic communications pursuant to this Section, including through the Platform.
SECTION 12.27    Right to Cure. Agent may, in its discretion, (a) cure any default by any Loan Party under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Material Contract that affects the Collateral, its value or the ability of Agent to collect, sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral or the rights and remedies of Agent and the Lenders therein or the ability of any Loan Party to perform its obligations hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, (b) pay or bond on appeal any judgment entered against any Loan Party, (c) discharge any charges, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any time levied on or existing with respect to the Collateral and (d) pay any amount, incur any expense or perform any act which Agent, in its discretion, determines is necessary or appropriate to preserve, protect, insure or maintain the Collateral and the rights of Agent and the Lenders with respect thereto. Agent may add any amounts so expended to the Obligations and charge the Loan Account or any other account of Borrowers with Agent or the amounts thereof, such amounts to be repayable by Borrowers on demand and bear interest until paid in full at the highest rate then applicable to the Loans. Agent shall be under no obligation to effect such cure, payment or bonding and shall not, by doing so, be deemed to have assumed any obligation or liability of any Loan Party. Any payment made or other action taken by Agent under this Section shall be without prejudice to any right to assert an Event of Default and to proceed accordingly.
SECTION 12.28    Acknowledgment and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
(a)    the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and
(b)    the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:
(i)    a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
(ii)    a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or



(iii)    the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.
SECTION 12.29    Injunctive Relief; Time. Each Loan Party recognizes that, in the event that any Loan Party fails to perform, observe or discharge any of its obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to Agent and the Lenders and, therefore, Agent and the Lenders, if Agent or any Lender so requests, shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief as provided by applicable law in any such case without the necessity of proving that actual damages are not an adequate remedy. Time is of the essence in this Agreement and each other Loan Document. Unless otherwise expressly provided, all references herein and in any other Loan Documents to time shall mean and refer to New York time.
SECTION 12.30    Keepwell. Each Borrower and each other Loan Party, to the extent constituting a 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 the guaranty contained in the Guaranty and Security Agreement made by it in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section or otherwise under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, 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 shall remain in full force and effect at all times hereafter until the Obligations have been Paid in Full. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section shall constitute, and this Section shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.
SECTION 12.31    Acknowledgement Regarding any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Hedging Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):
(a)    In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the



Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.
(b)    As used in this Section 12.32, the following terms have the following meanings:
(c)    “BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.
(d)    “Covered Entity” means any of the following:
(i)    a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b);
(ii)    a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or
(iii)    a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).
(iv)    “Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.
(v)    “QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).
SECTION 12.32    Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document: (i) the Liens granted to the Agent for the benefit of Secured Parties pursuant to the Loan Documents and the exercise of any right related to any Collateral shall be subject, in each case, to the terms of the Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement, (ii) in the event of any conflict between the express terms and provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, on the one hand, and of the Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement, on the other hand, the terms and provisions of the Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement shall control, and (iii) each Lender (and, by its acceptance of the benefits of any Security Document, each other Secured Party) hereunder authorizes and instructs the Agent to execute the Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement on behalf of such Lender, and such Lender agrees to be bound by the terms thereof.
