Upon receipt of such Notice of Prepayment, the Administrative Agent shall promptly, but in any event, no later than 1:00 p.m. at least one (1) Business Day prior to the date of such prepayment, notify each Lender.
(ii) Each such Notice of Prepayment shall be irrevocable and effective upon the date received and shall be dated the date such notice is given, signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower and otherwise appropriately completed. Each prepayment of any Advance by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) shall in each case be in a principal amount of at least $250,000 or, if less, the Aggregate Loan Principal Balance. If a Notice of Prepayment is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. The Borrower shall make the payment in the amount specified in such notice by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 3:00 p.m. on the date of prepayment to the account of the Administrative Agent, which will hold the funds on behalf of the Lenders.

Any funds for purposes of a voluntary prepayment received by the Administrative Agent after 3:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. For the avoidance of any doubt, the Borrower may only provide a Notice of Prepayment to prepay Advances that are outstanding on the date such Notice of Prepayment is delivered and may not provide a Notice of Prepayment to prepay any future Advances. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and for the avoidance of doubt, a Notice of Prepayment shall not be required for any prepayment of Advances made on a Payment Date. All prepayments shall be allocated to each Class ratably based on their respective Class Percentages and to the Lenders of each Class ratably based on their respective Class A Percentages and Class B Percentages (except as otherwise set forth herein).
(b) Additional Prepayment Provisions. Each optional prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) shall be subject to Sections 2.04(c) and 2.10 and applied to the Advances in accordance with the relevant Lenders’ respective Class Percentages.

Any partial reduction of the Committed Amount shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and shall (i) reduce the Class A Committed Amount and the Class B Committed Amount ratably in proportion to such committed amount’s share of the Committed Amount and (ii) ratably as between the aggregate Class A Committed Amount and the aggregate Class B Committed Amount. Once the Committed Amount is reduced, such reduced Committed Amount may not subsequently be reinstated without the consent of each Lender.
(b) If the Borrower terminates or reduces the Committed Amount in whole or in part pursuant to Section 2.06(a), the Borrower shall pay, to the Administrative Agent:
(i) for the benefit and account of the Class A Lenders, in immediately available funds, a non-refundable prepayment fee in connection with such termination or reduction (each a “Class A Prepayment Premium” and collectively, the “Class A Prepayment Premiums”), in an amount equal to the product of (x) the Class A Margin, (y) the portion of the Class A Committed Amount being terminated and (z) a fraction (expressed as a percentage) the numerator of which is the number of days from the date of such prepayment to the Scheduled Reinvestment Period Termination Date and the denominator of which is 360; or

Accordingly, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event any Class A Interest or Class B Interest is charged to, collected from or
received from or on behalf of the Borrower by the Class A Lenders or the Class B Lenders, as applicable, pursuant hereto or thereto in excess of such maximum lawful rate, then the excess of such payment over that maximum shall be applied first to the payment of amounts then due and owing by the Borrower to the Secured Parties under this Agreement (other than in respect of principal of and interest on the Advances) and then to the reduction of the outstanding principal amount of the Advances of the Borrower.
Section 2.08 Several Obligations. The failure of any Lender to make any Advance to be made by it on the date specified therefor shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to make its Advance on such date, the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the failure of any Lender to make any Advance, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make an Advance to be made by such other Lender.
Section 2.09 Increased Costs.
(a) If (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation, application or implementation of any Applicable Law or GAAP or other applicable accounting policy after the date hereof, or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or change in the interpretation, application or implementation of any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) after the date hereof, (a “Regulatory Change”) shall:
(A) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including any reserve imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding any reserve included in the determination of interest on the Advances), special deposit or similar requirement against assets of any Affected Person, deposits or obligations with or for the account of any Affected Person or with or for the account of any Affiliate (or entity deemed by the Federal Reserve Board to be an Affiliate) of any Affected Person, or credit extended by any Affected Person;
(B) change the amount of capital maintained or required or requested or directed to be maintained by any Affected Person;
(C) subject any Affected Person to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;
(D) impose any other condition affecting any Advance owned or funded in whole or in part by any Affected Person, or its obligations or rights, if any, to make Advances or to provide funding therefor;
(E) change the rate for, or the manner in which the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (or a successor thereto) assesses, deposit insurance premiums or similar charges; or
(F) cause an internal capital or liquidity charge or other imputed cost to be assessed upon any Affected Person which, in the sole discretion of such Affected Person, is allocable to the Borrower or to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;
and the result of any of the foregoing is or would be to:
(x) increase the cost to or to impose a cost on an Affected Person funding or making or maintaining any Advance, or
(y) reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by an Affected Person under this Agreement, or
(z) in the sole determination of such Affected Person, reduce the rate of return on the capital of an Affected Person as a consequence of its obligations hereunder,
then within thirty (30) days after written demand (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) by such Affected Person (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis of such demand), the Borrower shall pay directly to such Affected Person such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Person for such additional or increased cost or such reduction. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) the Dodd Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Dodd Frank Act”); (ii) the revised Basel Accord prepared by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision as set out in the publication entitled “Basel II: International Convergence of Capital Measurements and Capital Standards: A Revised Framework,” as updated from time to time (“Basel II”); (iii) the publication entitled “Basel III: A global regulatory framework for more resilient banks and banking systems,” as updated from time to time (“Basel III”), including any publications addressing the liquidity coverage ratio (“LCR”) or the supplementary leverage ratio (“SLR”); or (iv) any implementing laws, rules, regulations, guidance, interpretations or directives from any Governmental Authority relating to the Dodd Frank Act, Basel II or Basel III (whether or not having the force of law), and in each case all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder or issued in connection therewith shall be deemed to have been introduced after the Closing Date, thereby constituting a Regulatory Change hereunder with respect to the Affected Persons as of the Closing Date, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued, but only to the extent such laws, rules, regulations, guidance, interpretations or directives are applied to Borrower by any Affected Person in substantially the same manner as applied to other similarly situated borrowers under comparable credit facilities.
(b) Upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the Borrower’s obligation to pay additional amounts to a Lender pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 2.09, such Lender will (i) use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate a different lending office if such designation would reduce or obviate the obligations of the Borrower to make future payments of such additional amounts; provided that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no material unreimbursed cost or material legal or material regulatory disadvantage (as reasonably determined by such Lender), with the object of avoiding future consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of any such provision or (ii) take such other measures as such Lender may deem reasonable, if as a result thereof the circumstances which would cause such Lender to be an Affected Person would cease to exist or the additional amounts which would otherwise be required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to this Section 2.09 would be materially reduced and if, as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, the making, issuing, funding or maintaining of such Advances through such other office or in accordance with such other measures, as the case may be, would not otherwise adversely affect such Advances or the interests of such Lender.
(c) Failure or delay on the part of an Affected Person to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Affected Person’s right to demand such compensation.
Section 2.10 Compensation; Breakage Payments. The Borrower agrees to compensate each Affected Person from time to time, on the Payment Dates, following such Affected Person’s written request (which request shall set forth the basis for requesting such amounts), in accordance with Section 9.01 for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including any interest paid by such Affected Person to lenders of funds borrowed to make or carry an Advance and any loss sustained by such Affected Person in connection with the re-employment of such funds but excluding loss of anticipated profits), which such Affected Person may sustain: (i) if for any reason (including any failure of a condition precedent set forth in Article III but excluding a default by the applicable Lender) a Borrowing of any Advance by the Borrower does not occur on the Borrowing Date specified therefor in the applicable Notice of Borrowing delivered by the Borrower, (ii) other than pursuant to Section 9.01, if the Borrower prepays any Advances with fewer than two (2) Business Days prior written notice in accordance with Section 2.05(a), or (iii) as a consequence of any other default by the Borrower to repay its Advances when required by the terms of this Agreement. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.10 submitted to the Borrower by any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent and accompanied by a reasonably detailed calculation of such amounts and a description of the basis for requesting such amounts) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.
Section 2.11 Illegality; Inability to Determine Rates.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, in the event of a Benchmark Transition Event then the affected Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower thereof, and such Lender’s obligation to make or maintain Advances hereunder based on the Adjusted Benchmark Rate shall be suspended until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain Advances based on the Adjusted Benchmark Rate and the Advances of each Interest Accrual Period in which such Person owns an interest shall either (1) if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Advances at the Adjusted Benchmark Rate until the last day of the applicable Interest Accrual Period, be reallocated on the last day of such Interest Accrual Period to another Interest Accrual Period in respect of which the Advances allocated thereto accrues interest determined other than with respect to the Adjusted Benchmark Rate or (2) if such Lender shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain such Advances at the Adjusted Benchmark Rate until the end of the applicable Interest Accrual Period, such Lender’s share of the Advances allocated to such Interest Accrual Period shall be deemed to accrue interest by reference to the Base Rate from the effective date of such notice until the end of such Interest Accrual Period.
(b) Upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to a Lender’s suspending its obligation to make or maintain Advances based on the Adjusted Benchmark Rate pursuant to Section 2.11(a), such Lender will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate a different lending office if such designation would enable such Lender to again make and maintain Advances based on the Adjusted Benchmark Rate; provided that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no unreimbursed cost or material legal or regulatory disadvantage (as reasonably determined by such Lender), with the object of avoiding future consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of any such provision.
Section 2.12 Effect of Benchmark Replacement Event.
(a) Subject to clauses (b), (c) and (d) of this Section 2.12, if the Administrative Agent:
(i) determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) at any time, that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable SOFR Rate; or
(ii) is advised by the Required Lenders that at any time, the applicable SOFR Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their (or its) interest in the Advances outstanding;
then the Administrative Agent shall give written notice thereof (in accordance with Section 12.02 of this Agreement) to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone (with written notice to follow promptly thereafter), telecopy or electronic mail as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist with respect to the relevant Benchmark, the Advances outstanding bearing interest by reference to the SOFR Rate shall bear interest by reference to the Base Rate.
(b) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Facility Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred, the Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder, or under any Facility Document, in respect of all determinations of the Benchmark at any time following 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower and the Lenders without any amendment to this Agreement or further action or consent of the Borrower, the Lenders or any other party.
(c) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation and administration of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Facility Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of the Borrower, the Lenders or any other party to this Agreement.
(d) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section, 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, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its sole discretion and without consent from the Borrower or any Lender.
(e) Interest Rate; Notification. The interest rate on all or a portion of the Advances outstanding may be derived from an interest rate benchmark that may be discontinued or is, or may in the future become, the subject of regulatory reform. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark
Transition Event, Section 2.12(b) provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission, performance or any other matter related to any interest rate used in this Agreement, or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof, including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the existing interest rate being replaced or have the same volume or liquidity as did any existing interest rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates and/or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of any interest rate used in this Agreement or any alternative, successor or alternative rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) and/or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrower. The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain any interest rate used in this Agreement, any component thereof, or rates referenced in the definition thereof, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.
Section 2.13 Rescission or Return of Payment. The Borrower agrees that, if at any time (including after the occurrence of the Final Maturity Date) all or any part of any payment theretofore made by it to any Secured Party or any designee of a Secured Party is or must be rescinded or returned for any reason (including the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates), the obligation of the Borrower to make such payment to such Secured Party shall, for the purposes of this Agreement, to the extent that such payment is or must be rescinded or returned, be deemed to have continued in existence and this Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case maybe, as to such obligations, all as though such payment had not been made.
Section 2.14 Interest on Past Due Amounts. The Borrower shall pay interest on all Class A Obligations (excluding any fees or other third party expenses due to the Class A Lenders, including, but not limited to any Class A Prepayment Premiums, Class A Exit Fees, Class A Minimum Utilization Fee and Class A Unused Fees) that are not paid when due for the period from the due date thereof until the date the same is paid in full at the rate set forth under clause (c) of the definition of “Class A Interest Rate” (and without duplication of any other Class A Interest Rate that might be charged on such amounts for such period). The Borrower shall pay interest on all Class B Obligations (excluding any fees or other third party expenses due to the Class B Lenders, including, but not limited to any Class B Prepayment Premiums, Class B Minimum Utilization Fees and Class B Unused Fees) that are not paid when due for the period from the due date thereof until the date the same is paid in full at the rate set forth under clause (c) of the definition of “Class B Interest Rate” (and without duplication of any other Class B Interest Rate that might be charged on such amounts for such period). Class A Interest and Class B Interest payable pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall be payable on each Payment Date in accordance with Section 9.01.
Section 2.15 Payments Generally.
(a) All amounts owing and payable to any Secured Party, any Affected Person or any Indemnified Party, in respect of the Advances and other Obligations, including the principal thereof, interest, fees, indemnities, expenses or other amounts payable under this Agreement or
any other Facility Document, shall be paid by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable recipient in Dollars, in immediately available funds, in accordance with Section 9.01, and all without counterclaim, setoff, deduction, defense, abatement, suspension or deferment. The Administrative Agent and each Lender shall provide wire instructions to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Payments must be received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders on or prior to 3:00 p.m. on a Business Day; provided that, payments received by the Administrative Agent after 3:00 p.m. on a Business Day will be deemed to have been paid on the next following Business Day. To the extent payment was made to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent promptly will make such payment amount available to each Lender on a pro rata basis based on the amount due and owed to each Lender at such time by wire transfer to such Lender’s account.
(b) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all computations of interest, fees and other Obligations shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed. In computing interest on any Advance, the date of the making of the Advance shall be included and the date of payment shall be excluded; provided that, if (i) a Class A Advance is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one day’s Class A Interest shall be paid on such Class A Advance and (ii) a Class B Advance is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one day’s Class B Interest shall be paid on such Class B Advance. All computations made by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
Section 2.16 Lender Relations.
(a) Subordination; Non-Petition Covenants. Anything in this Agreement or any other Facility Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower and the holders of the Class B Obligations (for purposes of this clause (a), the “Subordinated Obligations”) agree for the benefit of the holders of the Class A Obligations (for purposes of this clause (a), the “Senior Obligations”), that the Subordinated Obligations and the Administrative Agent’s security interest in the Collateral as security for the Subordinated Obligations shall be subordinate and junior to the Senior Obligations to the extent and in the manner set forth in this Agreement, including as set forth in Section 9.01 and hereinafter provided. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, including in Section 9.01, the Senior Obligations shall be paid in full in cash, including all principal, accrued and unpaid interest and fees, if any, before any payment or distribution is made on account of the Subordinated Obligations. If, notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, any holder of a Subordinated Obligation shall have received any payment or distribution in respect of any Subordinated Obligation contrary to the provisions of this Agreement, then, unless and until the Senior Obligations shall have been paid in full in cash, including all principal, accrued and unpaid interest and fees, if any, in accordance with this Agreement, such payment or distribution shall be received and held in trust for the benefit of, and shall forthwith be paid over and delivered to, the Administrative Agent, which shall pay and deliver the same to the holders of the Senior Obligations then entitled thereto in accordance with this Agreement; provided, however, that, if any such payment or distribution is made other than in cash, it shall be held by the Administrative Agent as part of the Collateral and subject in all respects to the provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this Section 2.16. The holders of the Subordinated Obligations agree, for the benefit of the holders of the Senior Obligations, that, before the date that is one year and one day after the termination of this Agreement or, if longer, the expiration of the then applicable preference period plus one day, the holders of the Subordinated Obligations shall not, without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders, acquiesce, petition or otherwise invoke or cause any other Person to invoke the
process of any Governmental Authority for the purpose of commencing or sustaining a case against the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code and any other applicable federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official of the Borrower or any substantial part of its property or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of the affairs of the Borrower. Except as contemplated or expressly permitted hereunder, the holders of the Class B Obligations agree not to (i) exercise or cause the Administrative Agent to exercise the powers, rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Facility Documents, together with such powers, rights and remedies as are reasonably incidental thereto or (ii) interfere with the Administrative Agent’s exercise of the powers, rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Facility Documents, together with such powers, rights and remedies as are reasonably incidental thereto.
(b) Standard of Conduct. In exercising any of its or their voting rights, rights to direct and consent or any other rights as a Lender hereunder, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, a Lender or Lenders, as the case may be, shall not, except as may be expressly provided herein with respect to any particular matter, have any obligation or duty to any Person or to consider or take into account the interests of any Person and shall not be liable to any Person for any action taken by it or them or at its or their direction or any failure by it or them to act or to direct that an action be taken, without regard to whether such action or inaction benefits or adversely affects any Lender, the Borrower or any other Person, except for any liability to which such Lender may be subject to the extent that the same results from such Lender’s taking or directing an action, or failing to take or direct an action, in bad faith or in violation of the express terms of this Agreement.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Section 4.01 Representations and Warranties of the Borrower. The Borrower represents and warrants to each of the Secured Parties on and as of each Measurement Date (and, in respect of clause (i) below, each date such information is provided by or on behalf of it), as follows:
(a) Due Organization. The Borrower is a limited liability company duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with full power and authority to own and operate its assets and properties, conduct the business in which it is now engaged and to execute and deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and the other Facility Documents to which it is a party.

The execution and delivery by the Borrower of, and the performance of its obligations under the Facility Documents to which it is a party and the other instruments, certificates and agreements contemplated thereby are within its powers and have been duly authorized by all requisite action by it and have been duly executed and delivered by it and constitute its legal, valid and binding obligations enforceable against it in accordance with their respective terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally or general principles of equity (to the extent not related to inequitable conduct of the Borrower), regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.
(d) Non Contravention. None of the execution and delivery by the Borrower of this Agreement or the other Facility Documents to which it is a party, the Borrowings or the pledge of the Collateral hereunder, the consummation of the transactions herein or therein contemplated, or compliance by it with the terms, conditions and provisions hereof or thereof, will (i) conflict with, or result in a breach or violation of, or constitute (with or without notice of lapse of time or both) a default under its Constituent Documents, (ii) conflict with or contravene (A) any Applicable Law in any material respect, (B) any indenture, agreement or other contractual restriction binding on or affecting it or any of its assets, including any Related Documents, or (C) any order, writ, judgment, award, injunction or decree binding on or affecting it or any of its assets or properties or (iii) result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, or permit the acceleration of any obligation or liability in, or but for any requirement of the giving of notice or the passage of time (or both) would constitute such a conflict with, breach or violation of, or default under, or permit any such acceleration in, any contractual obligation or any agreement or document to which it is a party or by which it or any of its assets are bound (or to which any such obligation, agreement or document relates). Without limiting any restrictions or other covenants hereunder, the Borrower is not in default under any such indenture, agreement or other contractual restriction binding on or affecting it or any of its assets, including any Related Document, with respect to which such default, either individually or in the aggregate with other defaults, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Borrower.

Unless any such breach is able to be cured in all material respects and has been cured in all material respects within thirty (30) days following the discovery thereof by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower or receipt by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower of written notice of such breach, any Receivable as to which such representation or warranty relates (a “Reassignment Receivable”) shall cease to be an Eligible Receivable, be released by the Administrative Agent from the Collateral and be reassigned by the Borrower to the Seller at the direction of the Borrower (in either case, upon and subject to payment by the Borrower of the Reassignment Amount described below) or purchased by the Servicer (as long as the Servicer is an Affiliate of the Borrower) (a “Reassignment”) on the Payment Date that immediately follows such thirty (30) day period; provided, however, that such Receivable shall be immediately excluded from the calculation of the Class A Borrowing Base and the Class B Borrowing Base until such breach has been cured in all material respects.

With
respect to any Reassignment Receivable that is timely repurchased by the Seller in accordance with this Section 5.04, no breach of this Agreement shall be deemed to have occurred, and during any period regarding which a repurchase is pending, no Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred.
(b) The Borrower may reassign to the Seller any Receivables in accordance with the Receivables Purchase Agreement or to the Servicer any Receivables in accordance with Servicing Agreement and the Seller or the Servicer, as applicable, shall thereafter be entitled to receive all Collections on any Receivable subject to such reassignment.

(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, following written notice by the Administrative Agent (provided in its sole discretion or at the direction of the Required Lenders) of the exercise of control rights with respect to the Collateral pursuant to and in accordance with the UCC, the Borrower will sell or otherwise dispose of any Eligible Receivables or other Collateral to repay the Obligations as directed by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, provided that any such sale or other disposition directed by the Administrative Agent shall be on commercially reasonable terms and otherwise in accordance with the UCC and other Applicable Laws. The proceeds of any such sale or disposition shall be applied in accordance with Section 9.01(c). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not, and the Required Lenders may not direct the Administrative Agent to, exercise any such right to foreclose on and sell the Collateral during any period from the date of a Class B Buyout Triggering Event through the applicable Class B Buyout Exercise Date (or, if such Class B Buyout Option is not exercised by the Class B Lenders, the Class B Buyout Option Termination Date); provided, however, that any sale process may be commenced prior to the Class B Buyout Exercise Date or the Class B Buyout Option Termination Date, as applicable, at the discretion of the Administrative Agent.
(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent (provided in its sole discretion or at the direction of the Required Lenders) shall instruct the English Account Bank to withdraw all funds in the English Collection Accounts and deposit the Dollar Equivalent of all such funds into the Dollar Collection Account within two (2) Business Days of delivering such instruction.
Section 6.03 Class B Buyout Option.
(a) At any time (x) the Administrative Agent (following the direction or consent of the Required Lenders) has declared the principal of and the accrued interest on the Advances and all other amounts whatsoever payable by the Borrower hereunder to be due and payable or such amounts have automatically become due and payable or (y) the Administrative Agent shall have provided notice to the Borrower and the Lenders that an Event of Default has occurred, such Event of Default shall be continuing for sixty (60) days and the Administrative Agent shall not have commenced enforcement proceedings at the written direction of the Required Lenders against the Borrower and/or the Collateral (each of clause (x) and (y), a “Class B Buyout Triggering Event”), the Class B Lenders (or any subset of them or any designated Affiliates of such Class B Lenders, each, a “Class B Buyout Group”) shall have the option exercised by delivery of a written notice to the Administrative Agent (a “Class B Buyout Notice”), to purchase all (but not less than all) of the aggregate principal amount of the Class A Advances (at par), together with interest and fees, including, for the avoidance of doubt, Class A Interest calculated without giving effect to clause (c)(ii) of the definition of Class A Interest Rate, Class A Unused Fees and Class A Upfront Fees due with respect thereto, and all other Class A Obligations (collectively, the “Class B Buyout Option”). On the date of the Class B Buyout Triggering Event, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Class B Lenders written notice specifying the
estimated Class B Buyout Amount as of the date that is five (5) Business Days following the date of the Class B Buyout Triggering Event. Unless the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) agrees in writing to a longer time period, the Class B Buyout Option shall be exercisable by the Class B Lenders in any one or more Class B Buyout Groups for a period of five (5) Business Days, commencing on the date of the Class B Buyout Triggering Event (each such date, a “Class B Buyout Option Termination Date”). Prior to the applicable Class B Buyout Option Termination Date, any Class B Buyout Group may exercise the Class B Buyout Option by delivering the Class B Buyout Notice to the Administrative Agent, which notice (i) shall be irrevocable (unless the final Class B Buyout Amount is more than $50,000 higher than the estimated amount of Class A Obligations provided in the Class B Buyout Notice, in which case such Class B Buyout Notice may be revoked in the sole and absolute discretion of such Class B Buyout Group at any time prior to the Class B Buyout Exercise Date), (ii) shall state that each Class B Lender in the Class B Buyout Group is electing to exercise the Class B Buyout Option (in such allocation as the Class B Buyout Group has agreed) and (iii) shall specify the date on which such right is to be exercised (such date, the “Class B Buyout Exercise Date”), which date shall be a Business Day not more than five (5) Business Days after receipt by the Administrative Agent of such Class B Buyout Notice. For the avoidance of doubt if the Administrative Agent (or an Affiliate thereof) is a Class A Lender but is not a Class B Lender, any Class B Buyout Notice delivered pursuant to Section 6.03(b) may designate a successor Administrative Agent and the existing Administrative Agent shall submit its resignation on the terms provided in Section 11.05.
(b) On the Business Day prior to the Class B Buyout Exercise Date, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to each Class B Buyout Group written notice specifying the Class A Obligations (including, without limitation, the aggregate principal amount of all Class A Advances and all accrued and unpaid interest and fees (but exclusive of prepayment fees, penalties and default interest) with respect thereto) outstanding and unpaid as of the Class B Buyout Exercise Date (collectively, the “Class B Buyout Amount”). On the Class B Buyout Exercise Date, the Class A Lenders shall sell to the Class B Buyout Group their respective pro rata portions of the Class B Buyout Amount, and the Class B Buyout Group shall purchase from the Class A Lenders, at their respective pro rata portions of the Class B Buyout Amount, all of the Class A Advances. Such Class B Buyout Amount shall be remitted by wire transfer of immediately available funds by the Class B Buyout Group to the Administrative Agent for disbursement to the Class A Lenders. Accrued and unpaid interest on the Class A Advances shall be calculated through the Business Day on which the foregoing purchase and sale shall occur and any amounts received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next Business Day.
(c) By delivery of the Class B Buyout Notice, the Class B Buyout Group hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and the Class A Lenders from and against any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense (including reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one (1) outside legal counsel) arising out of any claim asserted by a third party as a direct result of any acts by the members of the Class B Buyout Group occurring after the date of such purchase (but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense resulting from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Person seeking indemnification).
(d) Any purchase pursuant to this Section 6.03 shall be expressly made without representation or warranty of any kind by the Class A Lenders or any other Person acting on their
behalf, except that the Class A Lenders shall be deemed to represent and warrant, severally as to its Class A Advances: (i) the amount of such Class A Advances being purchased and that the purchase price and other sums payable by the Class B Buyout Group(s) are true, correct and accurate, (ii) it has all right, title and interest in and to such Class A Advances free and clear of any Liens of such Class A Lender or created or suffered to exist by such Class A Lender, (iii) as to the absence of any claims made or threatened in writing against such Class A Lender related to such Class A Advances, and (iv) such Class A Lender is duly authorized to assign such Class A Advances.

The Secured Parties acknowledge and agree that following the execution of a Consent and Release and upon the sale or disposition of any Collateral by the Borrower in compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the security interest of the Secured Parties in such Collateral shall immediately terminate and
the Administrative Agent (for itself and on behalf of the other Secured Parties) shall, at the expense of the Borrower, execute, deliver and file or authorize for filing such instrument as the Borrower shall reasonably request to reflect or evidence such termination. Any and all actions under this Article 7 in respect of the Collateral shall be without any recourse to, or representation or warranty by any Secured Party and shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower.

statute or otherwise, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party of any one or more of such rights, powers, or remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by such Persons of any or all such other rights, powers, or remedies; provided, however, that no Secured Party may exercise any rights or remedies hereunder other than through the Administrative Agent or as consented to by the Administrative Agent; provided, further, however, that the Required Lenders may exercise any rights and remedies hereunder if, after directing the Administrative Agent in writing, the Administrative Agent does not comply with such instructions for any reason.

(b) No obligation or liability of the Borrower is intended to be assumed by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party under or as a result of this Agreement or the other Facility Documents, and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including under any Related Document or any other agreement or document that relates to Collateral and, to the
maximum extent permitted under provisions of law, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties expressly disclaim any such assumption.

Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and, to the extent applicable, the other Facility Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, subject to the terms hereof. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein or in the other Facility Documents, or any fiduciary relationship with any Secured Party, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties or obligations or liabilities on the part of the Administrative Agent shall be read into this Agreement or any other Facility Document to which the Administrative Agent is a party (if any) as duties on its part to be performed or observed. The Administrative Agent shall not have or be construed to have any other duties or responsibilities in respect of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement or the other Facility Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the written instructions of the Required Lenders; provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes the Administrative Agent, in its judgment, to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement, the other Facility Documents or Applicable Law, or would be, in its judgment, contrary to its duties hereunder, under any other Facility Document or under Applicable Law. Each Lender agrees that in any instance in which the Facility Documents provide that the Administrative Agent’s consent may not be unreasonably withheld, provide for the exercise of the Administrative Agent’s reasonable discretion, or provide to a similar effect, it shall not in its instructions (or, by refusing to provide instruction) to the Administrative Agent withhold its consent or exercise its discretion in an unreasonable manner.
Section 11.02 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and each other Facility Document by or through agents or attorneys in fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys in fact selected by it with reasonable care.
Section 11.03 Agent’s Reliance, Etc
(a) Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Facility Documents, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: (i) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower or any Servicer or any of their Affiliates) and independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (ii) makes no warranty or representation to any Secured Party or any other Person and shall not be responsible to any Secured Party or any Person for any statements, warranties or representations (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with this Agreement or the other Facility Documents; (iii) shall not have any duty to monitor, ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement, the other Facility Documents or any
Related Documents on the part of the Borrower or any Servicer or any other Person or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of the Borrower or such Servicer; (iv) shall not be responsible to any Secured Party or any other Person for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of any Collateral, this Agreement, the other Facility Documents, any Related Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens on the Collateral; and (v) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Facility Document by relying on, acting upon (or by refraining from action in reliance on) any notice, consent, certificate (including for the avoidance of doubt, the Monthly Report), instruction or waiver, report, statement, opinion, direction or other instrument or writing (which may be delivered by email) believed by it to be genuine and believe by it to be signed or sent by the proper party or parties. The Administrative Agent shall not have any liability to the Borrower or any Lender or any other Person for the Borrower’s, any Servicer’s or any Lender’s, as the case may be, performance of, or failure to perform, any of their respective obligations and duties under this Agreement or any other Facility Document.
(b) The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to assume the due authority of any signatory and genuineness of any signature appearing on any instrument or document it may receive (including each Notice of Borrowing received hereunder). The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be within the powers conferred upon it, or taken by it pursuant to any direction or instruction by which it is governed, or omitted to be taken by it by reason of the lack of direction or instruction required hereby for such action (including for refusing to exercise discretion or for withholding its consent in the absence of its receipt of, or resulting from a failure, delay or refusal on the part of the Required Lenders, to provide, written instruction to exercise such discretion or grant such consent from the Required Lenders). The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith unless it shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Administrative Agent was grossly negligent in ascertaining the relevant facts. Nothing herein or in any Facility Documents or Related Documents shall obligate the Administrative Agent to advance, expend or risk its own funds, or to take any action which in its reasonable judgment may cause it to incur any expense or financial or other liability for which it is not adequately indemnified. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any indirect, special or consequential damages (included but not limited to lost profits) whatsoever, even if it has been informed of the likelihood thereof and regardless of the form of action. The Administrative Agent shall not be charged with knowledge or notice of any matter unless actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Administrative Agent, or unless and to the extent written notice of such matter is received by the Administrative Agent at its address in accordance with Section 12.02. Any permissive grant of power to the Administrative Agent hereunder shall not be construed to be a duty to act. The Administrative Agent shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, entitlement order, approval or other paper or document. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any error of judgment, or for any act done or step taken or omitted by it, in good faith, or for any mistakes of fact or law, or for anything that it may do or refrain from doing in connection herewith except in the case of its willful misconduct, bad fair, reckless disregard or grossly negligent performance or omission of its duties.
(c) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible or liable for delays or failures in performance resulting from acts beyond its control. Such acts shall include but not be limited to acts of God, strikes, lockouts, riots, acts of war, epidemics, governmental regulations imposed
after the fact, fire, communication line failures, computer viruses, power failures, earthquakes or other disasters.
Section 11.04 Indemnification. Each of the Lenders severally (and not jointly) agrees to indemnify and hold the Administrative Agent harmless (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to Section 12.04, by any other Affiliate of Navan or otherwise) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and expenses) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of its role as Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Facility Document or any Related Document or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Facility Document or any Related Document, in each case, to the extent that the Borrower or any other Affiliate of Navan is required to and does not indemnify the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Facility Documents or any Related Document; provided that (i) no Lender shall be liable to the Administrative Agent for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct and (ii) no Lender shall be liable for any amount in respect of any compromise or settlement of any of the foregoing unless such compromise or settlement is approved by the Required Lenders. The rights of the Administrative Agent and obligations of the Lenders under or pursuant to this Section 11.04 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, and the earlier removal or resignation of the Administrative Agent hereunder.
Section 11.05 Successor Administrative Agent. Subject to the terms of this Section 11.05, the Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion at any time upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent shall resign then the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor agent. If for any reason a successor agent is not so appointed and does not accept such appointment within thirty (30) days of notice of resignation the Administrative Agent may appoint a successor agent. The appointment of any successor Administrative Agent shall be subject to the prior written consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided that the consent of the Borrower to any such appointment shall not be required if (i) an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing or, (ii) if such successor Administrative Agent is a Lender or an Affiliate of such Administrative Agent or any Lender. Any resignation of the Administrative Agent shall be effective upon the appointment of a successor agent pursuant to this Section 11.05. After the effectiveness of the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Administrative Agent, the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Facility Documents and the provisions of this Article 11 shall continue in effect for its benefit with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and under the other Facility Documents. Any Person (i) into which the Administrative Agent may be merged or consolidated, (ii) that may result from any merger or consolidation to which the Administrative Agent shall be a party, or (iii) that may succeed to the properties and assets of the Administrative Agent substantially as a whole, shall be the successor to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement without further act of any of the parties to this Agreement. If the Administrative Agent is a Class A Lender or an Affiliate thereof on the date on which the Class A Committed Amount has expired or terminated and all Class A Obligations have been reduced to zero, such Administrative Agent shall provide immediate notice of resignation to the Borrower and the Class B Lenders, and the Required Class B Lenders shall have the right, upon five (5) Business Days’ notice to the Borrower, to appoint a successor Administrative Agent.
Section 11.06 Administrative Agent’s Capacity as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.
Section 11.07 Delivery of Notices and Reports. Promptly upon receipt thereof, the Administrative Agent shall distribute all notices and reports (including, for the avoidance of doubt, all materials received by it pursuant to Section 5.01(d) and (h) and Section 7.03) received by it pursuant to this Agreement to each Lender at the address for such Lender determined in accordance with Section 11.02.
Section 11.08 Invoice. Without limiting the applicability of Article 11, to the extent the Administrative Agent or a Class A Lender reasonably expects to be entitled to claim indemnity amounts the Administrative Agent shall use reasonable efforts to invoice and claim such amounts on a current basis as they arise and to notify the Class B Representative of the same, provided that and for the avoidance of doubt, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Class A Lender shall be liable for the failure to provide any notice to any party under this Section 11.08 as provided hereunder.
Section 11.09 Erroneous Payments.
(a) If the Administrative Agent notifies a Lender or another Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or another Secured Party (any such Lender, Secured Party or other recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender, Secured Party or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Lender or Secured Party shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the same rate the Borrower was required to pay Interest hereunder during such period to (i) a Class A Lender (if the Erroneous Payment was meant to be paid to a Class A Lender) and (ii) a Class B Lender (if the Erroneous Payment was meant to be paid to a Class B Lender or any other Person). A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(b) Without limiting the immediately preceding clause (a), each Payment Recipient 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 the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a
different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender, Secured Party, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part):
(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 the Administrative 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 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 (1) Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 11.07(b).
(c) Each Lender and other Secured Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender, or Secured Party under any Facility Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender or Secured Party from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under immediately preceding clauses (a) and (b) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.
(d) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Administrative Agent’s notice to such Payment Recipient at any time, (i) such Payment Recipient, if a Lender, shall be deemed to have assigned its Advances (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 the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Advances (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 the Administrative Agent in such instance), and is hereby (together with the Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance (and such Lender shall deliver any notes evidencing such Advances to the Administrative Agent), (ii) the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender and (iv) the Administrative Agent may reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Advances
subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. The Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Advances acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Advances (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the commitments, if any, of any Lender 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 the Administrative Agent has sold Advances (or a portion thereof) acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, in the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) the Administrative Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of the applicable Lender or other Secured Party that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) under the Facility Documents with respect to each Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency.
(e) The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower; provided that this Section 11.07 shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Obligations of the Borrower relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the Obligations that would have been payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by the Administrative Agent; provided, further, that for the avoidance of doubt, this clause (e) (other than the first proviso hereto) shall not apply 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 the Administrative Agent from the Borrower for the purpose of making a payment of such Obligations.
(f) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.
(g) Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 11.07 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Facility Document.
(h) For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 11.07 shall not, and no Erroneous Payment shall, constitute, create, increase or otherwise alter any obligations or the Obligations of the Borrower under the Facility Documents or otherwise.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 11.07 or in any other Facility Document, the Borrower shall have no obligations, liabilities (including for any losses, claims, damages and expenses (including attorney’s fees)) or responsibilities for any actions, consequences or
remediation (including the repayment or recovery of any amounts) contemplated by this Section 11.07 or otherwise arising out of, resulting from or in connection with any Erroneous Payment or any such actions or inactions of any Payment Recipient in respect of any Erroneous Payment (and, for the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that if the Borrower has paid principal, interest or any other amounts owed pursuant to any Facility Document, nothing in 11.07 (or Section 12.04 (or any equivalent provision) in connection therewith) shall require the Borrower to pay additional amounts that are duplicative of such previously paid amounts).
Section 11.10 Appointment of Administrative Agent as Security Trustee.
(a) Each of the Secured Parties (other than the Administrative Agent) shall be deemed to have irrevocably appointed the Administrative Agent to act as its security trustee in connection with the Security granted under the English Deed of Charge.
(b) Each of the Secured Parties (other than the Administrative Agent) authorises the Administrative Agent to hold the Security granted under the English Deed of Charge in its sole name as security trustee for the Secured Parties.
(c) Each of the Secured Parties (other than the Administrative Agent) authorises the Administrative Agent to exercise the rights specifically given to the Administrative Agent under or in connection with the English Deed of Charge together with any other incidental rights.
(d) Each of the Secured Parties (other than the Administrative Agent) acknowledges and agrees that:
(i) the Administrative Agent has agreed to become a party to the English Deed of Charge only for the purpose of taking the benefit of the contractual provisions expressed to be given for the benefit of or to be assumed by the Administrative Agent, for the better preservation and enforcement of its rights and the rights of the Secured Parties under the English Deed of Charge and for administrative ease associated with matters where its consent is required;
(ii) the Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility for any obligation of such Secured Party and shall not assume any liabilities or obligations under the English Deed of Charge unless such obligation or liability is expressly assumed by the Administrative Agent therein;
(iii) the rights, duties and obligations of the Administrative Agent under the English Deed of Charge are governed by the English Deed of Charge; and
(iv) the Administrative Agent may assume, unless it has, acting as Administrative Agent, received actual notice to the contrary, that no Event of Default has occurred and that the Borrower and the other parties to the Facility Documents are not in breach of or in default under their respective obligations under any of the Facility Documents.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary expressed or implied herein, the Administrative Agent shall not be under any fiduciary duty towards any other party, nor shall it be under any obligations other than those for which express provision is made in the Facility Documents.
ARTICLE 12.
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 12.01 No Waiver; Modifications in Writing.

Any waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and any consent to any departure by any party to this Agreement from the terms of any provision of this Agreement, shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

Section 12.03 Taxes.
(a) Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section, the term “Applicable Law” includes FATCA.
(b) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Facility 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 Borrower 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 Borrower. The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
(d) Indemnification by Borrower. The Borrower 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 other than penalties, interest or other expenses imposed as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of a Lender, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative 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 the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 13.02(i) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Facility Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Facility Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).
(f) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(g) 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 Facility Document shall
deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in paragraphs (g)(ii)(A), (ii)(B), (ii)(D) and (ii)© of this Section) 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, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Borrower,
(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or about the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;
(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or about the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), 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 Facility 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 Facility 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 F-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of
Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to the Borrower 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, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 or Exhibit F-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 F-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or about the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), 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 the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made;
(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Facility Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, 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; and
(E) If the Administrative Agent is a U.S. Person, it shall deliver to the Borrower on or prior to the date on which it becomes the Administrative Agent under this Agreement two duly completed copies of IRS Form W-9. If the Administrative Agent is not a U.S. Person, it shall provide to the Borrower on or prior to the date on which it becomes the Administrative Agent under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower) (A) two executed copies of Form W-8ECI with respect to any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent for its own
account, and (B) two executed copies of Form W-8IMY with respect to any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent for the account of others, certifying that it is a “U.S. branch” and that the payments it receives for the account of others are not effectively connected with the conduct of its trade or business within the United States and that it is using such form as evidence of its agreement with the Borrower to be treated as a U.S. Person with respect to such payments (and Borrower and Administrative Agent agree to so treat the Administrative Agent as a U.S. Person with respect to such payments as contemplated by Treasury Regulation Section 1.1441-1(b)(2)(iv)).
Each Lender and the Administrative Agent agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(h) 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 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (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 paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (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.
(i) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Class A Committed Amount or the Class B Committed Amount and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Facility Document.
Section 12.04 Costs and Expenses; Indemnification.

Without prejudice to its rights hereunder, the expenses and the compensation for the services of the Administrative Agent are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any applicable bankruptcy law.

The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Facility Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Borrower, on the other, and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Borrower, its stockholders or its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender has advised, is currently advising or will advise the Borrower, its stockholders or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to the Borrower except the obligations expressly set forth in the Facility Documents and (y) each Lender is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of the Borrower, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. The Borrower agrees that it will not claim that any Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to the Borrower, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.
Section 12.20 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Affiliates or the respective officers, directors, employees, agents, managers of, and any Person controlling any of, the foregoing, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Affiliates or the respective officers, directors, employees, agents, managers of, and any Person controlling any of, the foregoing, and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking
action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Facility Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
Section 12.21 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Facility 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 Facility 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 Facility 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 12.22 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Facility 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 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 this Section 12.22 applicable notwithstanding that the Facility Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York or of the U.S. or any other state of the U.S.) that 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 U.S. or a state of the U.S. 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 Facility 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 Facility Documents were governed by the laws of the U.S. or a state of the U.S.
Section 12.23 Non-Petition.
(a) Each of the parties hereto (other than the Administrative Agent acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) hereby covenants and agrees that, prior to the date that is one (1) year and one (1) day after the payment in full of all outstanding Advances, it shall not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, the Borrower any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other similar proceeding under the laws of the United States or any state of the United States or any other jurisdiction.
(b) Each of the parties hereto (other than Administrative Agent acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) hereby covenants and agrees that it shall not at any time institute against, solicit or join or cooperate with or encourage any institution against Borrower of, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other similar proceeding under any United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar law.
(c) Nothing in this Section 12.23 shall preclude, or be deemed to estop, any of the foregoing Persons from taking (to the extent such action is otherwise permitted to be taken by such Person hereunder) or omitting to take any action prior to such date in (i) any case or proceeding with respect to Borrower voluntarily filed or commenced by or on behalf of Borrower under or pursuant to any such law or (ii) any involuntary case or proceeding pertaining to Borrower under or pursuant to any such law, which involuntary use was not commenced by any of the foregoing Persons.
ARTICLE 13.
SYNDICATION
Section 13.01 Syndication. The Lenders may at any time sell, assign or participate any portion or all of the Advances and the Facility Documents to one or more Persons subject to the terms and conditions of this Article 13.
Section 13.02 Assignment of Advances, Participations, Appointment of Agent.
(a) The Lenders may, at their individual option, sell and assign all or any part of their right, title and interest in, and to, and under the Advances and this Agreement, on a pro rata basis, in the sole discretion of such Lender (the “Syndication”), to one or more Eligible Assignees; provided that (i) any such sale and assignment shall be subject to the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) other than with respect to a sale and an assignment that is made (x) following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or (y) from a Lender to one or more of its Affiliates, and (ii) any such sale and assignment shall be subject to the Administrative Agent’s completion of satisfactory “know your customer” procedures in accordance with its internal policies. Each additional Lender shall enter into an Assignment and Acceptance whereby the existing Lender (the “Assigning Lender”) assigns to such new Lender a portion of its rights under the Advances, and pursuant to which the new Lender accepts such assignment. From and after the effective date specified in the Assignment and Acceptance (i) each new Lender shall be a party hereto and to each applicable Facility Document to the extent of the applicable percentage or percentages and, if applicable, priorities, set forth in the Assignment and Acceptance and, except as specified otherwise herein, shall succeed to the rights of the Assigning Lender hereunder in respect of the Advances, and (ii) the Assigning Lender shall, to the extent such
rights and obligations have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations hereunder and under the Facility Documents. The liabilities of each of the Lenders shall be several and not joint, and any Lender’s Percentage shall be reduced by the amount of each such Assignment and Acceptance. No Lender shall be responsible for the obligations of any other Lender.
(b) The Borrower agrees that it shall reasonably cooperate, in connection with any sale of all or any portion of the Advances permitted under Section 13.02(a), whether in whole or to an additional Lender or Participant, to furnish to Administrative Agent, any information as reasonably requested by any additional Lender or Participant in performing its due diligence in connection with its purchase of an interest in the Advances.
(c) The Borrower acknowledges that the Administrative Agent shall have the sole and exclusive authority to execute and perform this Agreement and each Facility Document on behalf of itself and as agent for the Secured Parties. The Lenders acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall retain the exclusive right to grant approvals and give consents required to be delivered hereunder, except as otherwise set forth herein. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Borrower shall have no obligation to recognize or deal directly with any Lender, and no Lender shall have any right to deal directly with the Borrower with respect to the rights, benefits and obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement, the Facility Documents or any one or more documents or instruments in respect thereof, except as explicitly provided herein or therein. The Borrower may rely conclusively on the actions of the Administrative Agent to bind the Lenders, notwithstanding that the particular action in question may, pursuant to this Agreement be subject to the consent or direction of some or all of the Lenders.
(d) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth herein and no covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities of the Administrative Agent shall be implied by or inferred from this Agreement or any other Facility Document, or otherwise exist against Administrative Agent.
(e) Except to the extent its obligations hereunder and its interest in the Advances have been assigned pursuant to one or more Assignments and Acceptances, if the Administrative Agent is also a Lender, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, respectively. The Lenders and their respective Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Borrower, or any Affiliate of the Borrower and any Person who may do business with or own securities of the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower, all as if they were not serving in such capacities hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to each other.
(f) If required by any Lender, the Borrower hereby agrees to execute notes in the principal amount of such Class A Lender’s Class A Percentage of the Class A Advances or such Class B Lender’s Class B Percentage of the Class B Advances, as applicable, and such note shall (i) be payable to order of such Lender, (ii) be dated as of the effective date specified in the Assignment and Acceptance (or, if later, the date that such Lender became a Lender hereunder), and (iii) mature on the Final Maturity Date. Such note shall provide that it evidences a portion of the existing Obligations hereunder and not any new or additional indebtedness of the Borrower.
(g) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Advances owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be made available by the Administrative Agent for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time, upon reasonable prior written request to the Administrative Agent.
(h) Any Lender may at any time sell participations to any Person (other than (x) a natural Person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person), (y) the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or (z) a Disqualified Assignee (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Advances owing to it)); provided that any such participation shall be subject to the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) other than with respect to a participation made (i) following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or (ii) from a Lender to one or more of its Affiliates; provided further that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the payments made under Section 2.09 with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its Participant(s).
(i) Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any Fundamental Amendment that affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.09, 12.03 and 12.04 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.09 or 12.03, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Advances or other obligations under the Facility Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Facility Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103 1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is
recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(j) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement or in the Collateral pledged to it thereunder (including, without limitation, amounts owing or assets pledged to it), including, without limitation, to any Federal Reserve Bank as a secured party in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and any transfer restrictions under this Section 13.02 shall not apply to any Federal Reserve Bank as the secured party in connection with any such security interest; provided that no such security interest or the exercise by the secured party of any of its rights thereunder shall release such Lender from its funding obligations hereunder.
Section 13.03 Cooperation in Syndication.
(a) The Borrower will use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Lenders and the Administrative Agent in completing a Syndication, provided (i) the efforts requested of the Borrower and/or Navan in connection with such Syndication are not unreasonably burdensome or disruptive to the business of the Borrower or Navan and (ii) the applicable Lender shall reimburse the Borrower and/or Navan for any material out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Borrower and/or Navan in connection therewith (such costs and expenses not to exceed $10,000. Subject to the conditions described in the immediately preceding sentence, such assistance will include all actions reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, including, without limitation: (i) engaging, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any proposed Lender, in discussions between senior management and advisors of the Borrower and the proposed Lenders, (ii) assistance in the preparation of a confidential information memorandum and other marketing materials to be used in connection with the Syndication, (iii) the hosting, with the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, of one or more diligence and management meetings with prospective Lenders or with the credit rating agencies, and (iv) working with the Lenders and the Administrative Agent to procure a rating for the Advances by the credit rating agencies.).
(b) Subject to the terms hereof, including the definition of “Eligible Assignee,” the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall manage all aspects of any Syndication of the Advances, including decisions as to the selection of institutions to be approached and when they will be approached, when their commitments will be accepted, which institutions will participate, the allocations of the commitments among the Lenders and the amount and distribution of fees among the Lenders. To assist the Lenders and the Administrative Agent in their Syndication efforts, and subject to the conditions described in the first sentence of Section 13.03(a), the Borrower agrees promptly to prepare and provide to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent all information with respect to the Borrower, the Seller and the Servicer contemplated hereby, including all financial information and projections (the “Projections”), as the Lenders and the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in connection with the Syndication of the Advances. The Borrower hereby represents and covenants that (i) all information other than the Projections (the “Information”) that has been or will be made available to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or any of their representatives is or will be, when furnished, complete and correct in all material respects and does not or will not, when furnished, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order
to make the statements contained therein, taken as a whole, not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements are made and (ii) the Projections that have been or will be made available to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or any of its representatives have been or will be prepared in good faith based upon reasonable assumptions. The Borrower understands that in arranging and syndicating the Advances, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and, if applicable, the credit rating agencies, may use and rely on the Information and Projections without independent verification thereof.
(c) Subject to the conditions described in the first sentence of Section 13.03(a), if required in connection with the Syndication, the Borrower hereby agrees to:
(i) deliver updated financial and operating statements and other information reasonably required by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent to facilitate the Syndication;
(ii) deliver reliance letters reasonably satisfactory to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent with respect to any legal opinions delivered to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, which will run to the Lender and their respective successors and assigns; and
(iii) execute any amendment or modification to the Facility Documents required by the Lenders; provided, however, that unless otherwise agreed to by the Borrower, the Borrower shall not be obligated to enter into any such amendment or modification if the effect of such amendment or modification is to (A) materially increase the duties or obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement or the Facility Documents or (B) make any material term or provision (other than terms or provisions relating to the requisite percentage of Lenders or certain classes of Lenders required to consent to amendments, waivers or consents or to give instructions to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Facility Documents) less favorable to the Borrower.
(d) Without limiting the foregoing, if the Lenders and the Administrative Agent notify the Borrower in writing that they have elected, in their respective individual sole discretion, prior to or in connection with a Syndication, to split the Advances (or any note evidencing the Advances) into two or more tranches or sub-tranches having different advance rates, interest rates, principal amounts, payment priorities and maturities, the Borrower will (i) cooperate with Lenders and the Administrative Agent to implement the foregoing, (ii) execute any amendments or modifications to this Agreement, any note or any other Facility Documents requested by the Lenders or the Administrative Agent to effectuate the same and (iii) deliver customary certificates, legal opinions and other closing deliveries reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in connection therewith; provided, that any such tranches or sub-tranches may, without the consent of the Borrower, have different (A) advance rates, if the weighted average of such advance rates is not less than the percentages specified in the definitions of “Class A Advance Rate” and “Class B Advance Rate” and (B) interest rates, if the weighted average of such interest rates does not exceed, during any period specified in clause (a), (b) or (c) of the definitions of “Class A Interest Rate” or “Class B Interest Rate,” the rates specified in such clauses (a), (b) or (c) applicable to such period.
