Any Lender accepting such offer shall be prepaid in full; provided that if the Majority Lenders shall have accepted such offer, then all Lenders shall be deemed to have accepted such offer and the Borrower shall prepay all outstanding Loans and other amounts under the Bridge Loan Facility (including the principal amount of all outstanding Loans plus any accrued and unpaid interest and fees), with such prepayments to be applied in accordance with Sections 2.08 and 2.09.

(6)

If the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall receive Net Proceeds from the incurrence or issuance (as applicable) by the Borrower or its Subsidiaries of:

(a)

Refinancing Debt other than Refinancing Debt incurred to refinance Debt maturing on or prior to the Bridge Loan Conversion Date (provided, that for the purposes of this Section 2.05(6), the amount of Net Proceeds in respect of Refinancing Debt shall be the aggregate principal amount of Debt or other Obligations refinanced);

The Borrower shall make each such payment in U.S. Dollars. In respect of the Bridge Loan Facility and the Loans, the Administrative Agent shall distribute to each applicable Lender, promptly on the date of receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment, an amount equal to the amount then due each such Lender.

(2)

Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall make Accommodations under the Bridge Loan Facility and other payments to the Borrower under this Agreement by crediting the Borrower’s Account (or causing the Borrower’s Account to be credited) with, or by wire transferring to such account(s) as may be directed by the Borrower, the amount of the payment not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date the payment is to be made.

(3)

The Borrower hereby authorizes each Lender, if and to the extent any payment owed to such Lender by the Borrower is not made to the Administrative Agent when due, to charge from time to time any amount due against any or all of the Borrower’s accounts with such Lender upon notice to the Borrower.

Section 2.09 Application of Payments and Prepayments

(1)

Each prepayment pursuant to Section 2.05(1), Section 2.05(2), Section 2.05(3), Section 2.05(6) or Section 2.06 shall be applied ratably to Loans based on the aggregate principal amount of Loans outstanding at such time; provided that in the event any Lender or Affiliate of a Lender purchases debt securities from the Borrower pursuant to a Securities Demand as set forth in Section 6.01(19)(b) at an issue price above the level at which such Lender or Affiliate has determined such New Securities can be resold by such Lender or Affiliate to a bona fide third party at the time of such purchase (and notifies the Borrower thereof), the net cash proceeds received by the Borrower in respect of such New Securities may, at the option of such Lender or Affiliate, be applied first to repay the Loans held by such Lender or Affiliate (provided that if there is more than one such Lender or Affiliate then such net proceeds will be applied pro rata to repay Loans of all such Lenders or Affiliates in proportion to such Lenders’ or Affiliates’ principal amount of New Securities purchased from the Borrower) prior to being applied to prepay the Loans held by other Lenders.

(2)

All amounts received by the Administrative Agent from or on behalf of a Borrower and not previously applied pursuant to this Agreement shall be applied by the Administrative Agent as follows (i) first, in reduction of the Borrower’s obligation

- 57 -

to pay any unpaid interest and any Fees which are due and owing; (ii) second, in reduction of the Borrower’s obligation to pay any claims or losses referred to in Section 14.01; (iii) third, in reduction of the Borrower’s obligation to pay any amounts due and owing on account of any unpaid principal amount of the Loans which are due and owing; (iv) fourth, in reduction of any other obligation of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents; and (v) fifth, to the Borrower or such other Persons as may lawfully be entitled to or directed by a Borrower to receive the remainder.

Section 2.10 Computations of Interest and Fees

(1)

All computations of interest shall be made by the Administrative Agent taking into account the actual number of days occurring in the period for which such interest is payable pursuant to Section 3.04(1), and (i) if based on the Base Rate, a year of 365 days or 366 days, as the case may be; or (ii) if based on the Term SOFR Reference Rate, on the basis of a year of 360 days.

(2)

All computations of Fees shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, taking into account the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such fees are payable.

(3)

For purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), (i) whenever any interest or Fee under this Agreement is calculated using a rate based on a number of days less than a full year, such rate determined pursuant to such calculation, when expressed as an annual rate, is equivalent to (x) the applicable rate, (y) multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the period for which such interest or fee is payable (or compounded) ends, and (z) divided by the number of days comprising such calculation basis; (ii) the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest does not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement; and (iii) the rates of interest stipulated in this Agreement are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields.

(4)

If any provision of this Agreement or of any of the other Credit Documents would obligate a Loan Party to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to any Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by Law or would result in a receipt by such Lender of interest at a criminal rate (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)) then, notwithstanding such provisions, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by Law or so result in a receipt by such Lender of interest at a criminal rate, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, as follows: (1) firstly, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid to such Lender under the applicable Credit Document, and (2) thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, premiums and other amounts required to be paid to such Lender which would constitute “interest” for purposes of Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada). Notwithstanding the foregoing, and after giving effect to all adjustments contemplated thereby, if a Lender shall have received an amount in excess of the maximum permitted by that section of the Criminal Code (Canada),

- 58 -

the Loan Party paying the amount shall be entitled, by notice in writing to such Lender, to obtain reimbursement from such Lender in an amount equal to such excess and, pending such reimbursement, such amount shall be deemed to be an amount payable by such Lender to the Borrower or Guarantor. Any amount or rate of interest referred to in this Section 2.10(4) shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles as an effective annual rate of interest over the term that the applicable Loans remain outstanding on the assumption that any charges, fees or expenses that fall within the meaning of “interest” (as defined in the Criminal Code (Canada)) shall, if they relate to a specific period of time, be pro-rated over that period of time and otherwise be pro-rated over the period from the date of this Agreement to the Maturity Date and, in the event of a dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive for the purposes of such determination.

Section 2.11 Security

(1)

In each case subject to Permitted Exceptions, by the applicable dates specified below, the Borrower shall provide or cause to be provided by the Guarantors, in each case, to the Administrative Agent, for and on behalf of the Lenders, as continuing collateral security for the present and future indebtedness and liability of the Borrower and the obligations of the Guarantors under the Guarantees, respectively, to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, the following security (the “Security”), in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, acting reasonably, together with any relevant reasonably required power of attorney, registrations, filings and other supporting documentation deemed necessary by the Administrative Agent or its counsel to perfect the same or otherwise in respect thereof:

(a)

on the Effective Date, a Guarantee;

(b)

on the Effective Date, general security agreements (which, for greater certainty, shall not include a hypothec with respect to moveable property located in the Province of Québec) in a form substantially similar to the Existing Canadian Security Agreements or Existing U.S. Security Agreement, as applicable, constituting a security interest in all personal property (or moveable property, as applicable) and assets of the Loan Parties (including all contract rights, inventory, accounts, general intangibles, Equity Securities, deposit accounts, Intellectual Property, equipment and proceeds of the foregoing), which security interest shall be of first priority, subject, if and to the extent applicable, to any Permitted Encumbrances (each being an “Effective Date Security Agreement”), and subject to the grace periods specified in each Effective Date Security Agreement and in connection with deposit accounts, Section 6.01(15)(c), with respect to items of Collateral that cannot be perfected by the filing of a PPSA or UCC financing statement; and

The Loan Parties acknowledge that the Credit Documents have been prepared on the basis of Law in effect on the Effective Date, and that changes to Law may require the execution and delivery of different forms of documentation, and accordingly the Administrative Agent shall have the right (acting reasonably) to require that the Credit Documents be amended, supplemented or replaced (and Open Text shall, or shall cause the applicable Loan Party to duly authorize, execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent any such amendment, supplement or replacement reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent with respect to any of the Credit Documents) within 30 days of written request therefor (i) to reflect any Change in Law, whether arising as a result of statutory amendments, court decisions or otherwise; (ii) to facilitate the creation and registration of appropriate forms of security in applicable jurisdictions; or (iii) to confer upon the Administrative Agent Encumbrances similar to the Encumbrances created or intended to be created by the Credit Documents.

(3)

Within (x) 120 days following the Closing Date or (y) with respect to Bidco, 30 days after the Effective Date (or, in either case, such later date as the Administrative Agent may agree in its reasonable discretion), Open Text will, at its expense, cause the delivery to the Administrative Agent of:

(a)

in the case of Bidco, the Target and any Material Target Subsidiary domiciled in the United Kingdom, such security agreements, debentures, mortgages, pledge agreements or other agreements or instruments as may be reasonably necessary to grant a security interest in its assets on terms substantially similar to the Existing U.K. Security Documentation, as applicable;

In connection with the joinder of Bidco, the Target or any of its Subsidiaries as a Guarantor hereunder pursuant to this clause (3), Open Text will cause Bidco, the Target and each applicable Subsidiary thereof to (i) certify to the Administrative Agent that (x) the representations and warranties contained in Article 5 are true and correct with respect to Bidco, the Target or such Subsidiary, as applicable, in all material respects as if made by such Person on and as of the date of such joinder, and (y) no event has occurred and is continuing that would constitute a Default or an Event of Default with respect to Bidco, the Target or such Subsidiary, as applicable, on and as of the date of such joinder and (ii) deliver to the Administrative Agent such supplemental schedules as may be necessary for Bidco, the Target and each such Subsidiary to accurately make the foregoing certifications.

- 61 -

Section 2.12 Defaulting Lenders

(1)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:

(a)

That Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 16.01(4).

(b)

Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.01), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Borrowing in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Borrowings under this Agreement; fourth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and fifth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(c)

That Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any fee hereunder for any period during which that Xxxxxx is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

(2)

If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may reasonably determine to be necessary to cause the Borrowings to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their ratable shares, whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender;

- 62 -

provided that, no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Xxxxxx was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Xxxxxx having been a Defaulting Lender.

Section 2.13 [Reserved]

Section 2.14 Benchmark Replacement Setting

(1)

Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, then (A) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (a) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Credit Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Credit Document and (B) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (b) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Credit Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all affected Xxxxxxx and the Borrower so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.

(2)

Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Credit Document.

(3)

Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower of the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 2.14(4). Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.14, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their

- 63 -

sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Credit Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.14.

(4)

Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including any Term Benchmark) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the administrator of such Benchmark or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable, non-representative, non-compliant or non-aligned tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(5)

Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Term Benchmark Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term Benchmark Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that any tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of Base Rate.

Section 2.15 Inability to Determine Rates; Illegality.

(1)

Subject to Section 2.14, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Term Benchmark” cannot be determined in accordance with the terms of this Agreement on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Upon notice thereof by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, any obligation of the Lenders to make or continue Term Benchmark Advances or to convert Base Rate Advances to Term

- 64 -

Benchmark Advances shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx Advances or, in the case of a Term Benchmark Borrowing, the affected Interest Periods) until the Administrative Agent revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term Benchmark Advances (to the extent of the affected Term Benchmark Advances or, in the case of a Term Benchmark Borrowing, the affected Interest Periods) or, failing that, in the case of any request for an affected Term Benchmark Borrowing, then such request shall be ineffective and (ii) any outstanding affected Term Benchmark Advances denominated in U.S. Dollars will be deemed to have been converted into Base Rate Loans. Upon any such conversion, the Borrower shall also pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 8.01. If the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Term Benchmark” cannot be determined in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, in each case on any given day, the interest rate on Base Rate Advances shall be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate” until the Administrative Agent revokes such determination.

(2)

If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Advances whose interest is determined by reference to any Term Benchmark, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon any Term Benchmark, then, upon notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower (through the Administrative Agent), (a) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Term Benchmark Advances or to convert Base Rate Advances to Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx Advances shall be suspended, and (b) the interest rate on which Base Rate Advances of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate”, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Term Benchmark Advances of such Lender to Base Rate Advances (the interest rate on which Base Rate Advances of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate”), on the interest payment date therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Term Benchmark Advances to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Term Benchmark Advances and (ii) if necessary to avoid such illegality, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate” until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon any Term Benchmark.

(2)

The Administrative Agent shall give each applicable Lender prompt notice of any Borrowing Notice received from the Borrower and of each applicable Lender’s ratable portion of any Accommodation.

Section 3.02 Procedure for Borrowing.

Each Borrowing under the Bridge Loan Facility shall be in a minimum amount of (i) U.S. $1,000,000 and in an integral multiple of U.S. $100,000 in the case of Borrowings by way of SOFR Advances or Base Rate Advances; and (ii) shall be made on the number of days prior notice specified in Schedule 3, given not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York time), in the case of Base Rate Advances, and 12:00 p.m. (New York time), in all other cases, in each case by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent.

Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of funds from the Lenders and fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article 4, the Administrative Agent will make such funds available to the Borrower in accordance with Article 2.

Section 3.03 Conversions and Elections Regarding Advances

(1)

Each Advance shall initially be the Type of Advance specified in the applicable Borrowing Notice and shall bear interest at the rate applicable to such Type of Advance (determined as provided in Section 3.04(1)) until (i) in the case of a SOFR Advance the end of the initial Interest Period applicable thereto as specified in the applicable Borrowing Notice, (ii) in the case of a Base Rate Advance, the date on which the relevant Type of Advance is repaid in full or is changed to another Type of Advance pursuant to and to the extent permitted by Section 3.03(2), or (iii) in the case of any Advance, it is converted to another Type of Advance pursuant to and to the extent permitted by Section 3.03(2).

(2)

The Borrower may elect to (i) change any Advance outstanding to another Type of Accommodation denominated in the same currency available thereunder in

- 66 -

accordance with Section 3.03(3), (x) in the case of a Base Rate Advance, as of any Business Day or (y) in the case of a SOFR Advance as of the last day of the Interest Period, applicable to such SOFR Advance; or (ii) continue any SOFR Advance for a further Interest Period, beginning on the last day of the then current Interest Period, in accordance with Section 3.03(3).

(3)

Each election to change from one Type of Advance to another Type of Advance under the Bridge Loan Facility or to continue a SOFR Advance for a further Interest Period shall be made on the number of days prior notice specified in Schedule 3 given, in each case, not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York time) by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent. Each such notice (an “Interest Rate Election Notice”) shall be given substantially in the form of Schedule 2 and shall be irrevocable and binding upon the Borrower. If the Borrower fails to deliver an Interest Rate Election Notice to the Administrative Agent for any SOFR Advance as provided in this Section 3.03(3), such SOFR Advance shall be converted (as of the last day of the applicable Interest Period) to and thereafter shall be outstanding as a Base Rate Advance. The Borrower shall not select an Interest Period which conflicts with the definition of Interest Period in Section 1.01 or with the repayment schedule in Section 2.05.

(4)

Upon the occurrence of, and during the continuance of, an Event of Default, the Borrower shall not have the right to convert Advances into, or to continue, SOFR Advances, and each SOFR Advance shall convert to a Base Rate Advance, in the case of the Bridge Loan Facility at the end of the applicable Interest Period.

Section 3.04 Permanent Refinancing

(1)

Conversion to Extended Term Loans. On the Bridge Loan Conversion Date, so long as (i) no order, decree, injunction or judgment enjoining the conversion of Bridge Loans to Extended Term Loans is in effect, (ii) no Event of Default under Section 7.01(1)(a), (b) or (l) shall have occurred and then be continuing, (iii) the Conversion Fee shall have been paid and (iv) the Administrative Agent receives an officer’s certificate from the Borrower certifying to the foregoing, all outstanding Bridge Loans shall be converted into term loans (each, an “Extended Term Loan”) having an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Bridge Loans not repaid in cash on or prior to such date. Upon such conversion, each Lender shall cancel on its records a principal amount of the Bridge Loans held by such Lender corresponding to the principal amount of Extended Term Loans issued by such Lender, which corresponding principal amount of the Bridge Loans shall be satisfied by the conversion of such Bridge Loans into Extended Term Loans in accordance with this Section 3.04(1). If an Event of Default under Section 7.01(1)(a), (b) or (l) shall have occurred and be continuing on the Bridge Loan Conversion Date, the Bridge Loans shall not be so converted and the Bridge Loans shall be due and payable on the Bridge Loan Conversion Date.

(2)

Exchange for Senior Exchange Notes.

(i)

On any Business Day on or after the Bridge Loan Conversion Date, at the option of the applicable Lender, the Extended Term Loans may be

- 67 -

exchanged in whole or in part for one or more Senior Exchange Notes having an aggregate principal amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of such Extended Term Loans (an “Exchange”; the date on which any Exchange is or is proposed to be consummated is referred to herein as the “Exchange Date”). The Borrower shall not be required to issue Senior Exchange Notes in any Exchange unless the Borrower shall have received requests to issue at least U.S. $250,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Senior Exchange Notes (or, if less, an aggregate principal amount equal to the amount of outstanding Extended Term Loans); provided, however, that the foregoing requirement shall not apply with respect to any Exchange with respect to the issuance of additional Senior Exchange Notes of the same series Senior Exchange Notes that are outstanding under an existing Permanent Securities Indenture.

(ii)

Such Lender shall provide the Borrower prior written notice of such election (each such notice, an “Exchange Notice” and the first such notice, the “Initial Exchange Notice”), at least five Business Days prior to the Exchange Date. The Exchange Notice shall specify the principal amount of Extended Term Loans to be exchanged (in a minimum aggregate principal amount of U.S. $5,000,000 and in an integral multiple of U.S. $1,000,000, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents to a lower amount (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed)). Extended Term Loans exchanged for Senior Exchange Notes pursuant to this Section 3.04(2) shall be deemed repaid and canceled, and the Senior Exchange Notes so issued shall be governed by the provisions of the Permanent Securities Indenture.

(iii)

For each Exchange, the provisions of the Senior Exchange Notes issued in such Exchange shall contain terms, conditions, covenants and events of defaults, in each case (other than as provided herein) customary for senior notes by the Company (and not more restrictive to the issuer and guarantors than the existing indentures of the Company) (taking into account that the Senior Exchange Notes will be secured notes) (the “Documentation Standard”), as modified to reflect then-prevailing market conditions as reasonably determined by the Book-Runners and the financial condition and prospects of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries at such time, but in any event shall (1) have the same guarantors as the Extended Term Loans and (2) be Qualifying Securities which (A) bear interest, payable in cash, at a fixed rate at the Total Cap, (B) mature on the Final Maturity Date, (C) have high-yield-style call protection, with a non-call period of three years and (D) are issued in a Rule 144A offering or pursuant to another exemption from registration.

(iv)

Not later than the Exchange Date specified in any Exchange Notice, the Borrower shall (A) deliver a written notice to the trustee under the Permanent Securities Indenture (the “Trustee”), directing such Trustee to authenticate and deliver Senior Exchange Notes as specified in the

- 68 -

Exchange Notice and (B) use all commercially reasonable efforts to effect delivery of such Senior Exchange Notes to the requesting Lender.

(v)

In connection with any Exchange pursuant to this Section 3.04(2), the Borrower will comply with all of the provisions of Section 6.01(19) (including the provisions of such section with respect to the timing of deliverables or other conditions to be met, which requirements with respect to timing will apply in lieu of those set forth in this Section 3.04(2)), unless the requirements of this clause (v) are waived in writing by the Majority of the Book-Runners in their sole discretion.

(3)

The Borrower agrees that prior to (or, where applicable, simultaneous with) any exchange of Extended Term Loans for Senior Exchange Notes:

(i)

The Borrower shall have selected a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Lenders to act as Trustee; provided that the Trustee shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States, any state of the United States or the District of Columbia, in good standing, which is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers and is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority and which has a combined capital and surplus of not less than U.S. $250,000,000.

(ii)

The Borrower, each Guarantor and the Trustee shall have entered into the Permanent Securities Indenture, which shall be subject to the Documentation Standard.

(iii)

The Borrower and each Guarantor shall have provided to the Administrative Agent copies of resolutions of its board of directors approving the execution and delivery of the Permanent Securities Indenture and, in the case of the Borrower, the issuance of the Senior Exchange Notes, together with a customary certificate of the secretary of the Borrower or such Guarantor certifying such resolutions.

(iv)

The Borrower shall have caused its counsel to deliver to the Administrative Agent an executed legal opinion in form and substance customary for a transaction of that type and as reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent (including, without limitation, with respect to due authorization, execution and delivery, validity and enforceability of the Permanent Securities Indenture, and the Senior Exchange Notes (and any guarantee thereof)).

(4)

If the foregoing conditions set forth in Section 3.04(3) are not satisfied on the Exchange Date specified in the applicable Exchange Notice, then the Lenders shall retain all of their rights and remedies with respect to the Extended Term Loans pursuant to this Agreement until such conditions are satisfied and the Extended Term Loans are so exchanged for Senior Exchange Notes. The Borrower agrees to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 3.04(3) no later than the Exchange Date specified in the applicable Exchange Notice.

- 69 -

(5)

The Borrower and each Guarantor agrees that neither it, nor anyone acting on its behalf, will (i) offer or sell the Extended Term Loans or the Senior Exchange Notes so as to subject the making, issuance and/or sale of the Extended Term Loans or the instruments evidencing the Senior Exchange Notes to the registration requirements of the Securities Act or (ii) offer any similar securities for issuance or sale to, or solicit any person to acquire any of the same from, or otherwise approach or negotiate with respect to the same with, anyone if the issuance or sale of the Extended Term Loans, the instruments evidencing the Senior Exchange Notes and any such securities would be integrated as a single offering for the purposes of the Securities Act, including, without limitation, Regulation D thereunder, in such a manner as would require registration thereof under the Securities Act. Subject to the terms of the Permanent Securities Indenture, each of the Senior Exchange Notes shall have a legend setting forth the restrictions on the transferability thereof imposed by the Securities Act for so long as such restrictions apply.

Forthwith upon the occurrence of an Event of Default that is continuing, each Guarantor will provide the Administrative Agent with a list of all Securities and Instruments (other than Intercompany Securities or Intercompany Instruments) held by it, and will notify the Administrative Agent of the acquisition by it of any additional Securities and Instruments (other than Intercompany Securities or Intercompany Instruments). Upon request by the Administrative Agent during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Guarantor will promptly deliver to and deposit with the Administrative Agent, or cause the Administrative Agent to have control over, all Securities or Instruments (other than Intercompany Securities or Intercompany Instruments) owned or held by such Guarantor, as security for the Secured Obligations of the applicable Guarantor pursuant to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents to which such Guarantor is party.

(vi)

Each Guarantor will ensure that no Person other than itself, its agent or another Person on its behalf, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or any of their respective agents has possession of any certificated Securities or certificated Instruments owned by such Guarantor.

(vii)

Each Guarantor will, with respect to any Securities or Instruments owned by it, at the request of the Administrative Agent (but, in the case of Securities or Instruments that are not Intercompany Securities or Intercompany Instruments, such request shall only be made during the continuance of an Event of Default) (i) cause the transfer of such Securities or Instruments to the Administrative Agent (or its nominee (if the Administrative Agent or such nominee is a member of such clearing agency) or otherwise as the Administrative Agent may reasonably direct) to be recorded in the records of a clearing agency or custodian, if and as applicable under Law, or on the applicable securities register or (ii) duly endorse such Securities or Instruments for transfer in blank or register them in the name of the Administrative Agent or its nominee or otherwise as the

- 92 -

Administrative Agent may reasonably direct, (iii) immediately deliver to the Administrative Agent any and all consents or other documents which may be necessary to effect the transfer of such Securities or Instruments to the Administrative Agent or any third party and (iv) deliver to or otherwise cause the Administrative Agent to have control over such Securities or Instruments.

(b)

Intellectual Property. Promptly following the request of the Administrative Agent, each Loan Party will furnish the Administrative Agent in writing the description of all material Registered Intellectual Property or applications for material Registered Intellectual Property of such Loan Party. In addition, upon request of the Collateral Agent (and at any time the same is delivered to the Revolving Credit Agreement Agent, the Term B Agreement Agent or the New TLB Agent), such Loan Party will deliver to the Administrative Agent a copy of the appropriate short-form security agreement suitable for filing with the Canadian Intellectual Property Office, the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office (as applicable), for such Registered Intellectual Property confirming the grant of security in such Registered Intellectual Property to the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, and promptly make all such filings, registrations and recordings as are necessary to preserve, protect and perfect the Security Interest granted to the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, in such Registered Intellectual Property.

(c)

Maintaining the Account Collateral. So long as any Loans or any other Secured Obligation secured by the Security and Pledge Agreement (other than contingent indemnification claims as to which no valid demand has been made, “Unmatured Surviving Obligations”) of any Loan Party under any Credit Document shall remain unpaid or shall be outstanding or any Lender Party shall have any Commitment:

(i)

Commencing on the date that is 60 days following the Effective Date (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may reasonably agree), each U.S. Grantor will maintain deposit accounts only with the financial institution acting as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent hereunder or with a bank (a “Pledged Account Bank”) that has agreed with such U.S. Grantor and the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, to comply with instructions originated by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, directing the disposition of funds in such deposit account without the further consent of such U.S. Grantor, such agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and such U.S. Grantor (a “Deposit Account Control Agreement”); provided, however, that this Section 6.01(15)(c) shall only apply to accounts maintained in the United States and shall not apply to deposit accounts (A) used solely as a tax or payroll account, escrow account, trust account, xxxxx cash account or flexible spending account, in each case maintained in the ordinary course of business or (B) or other deposit accounts to the extent that the aggregate amount on deposit with all such

- 93 -

other deposit accounts does not exceed U.S. $20,000,000, or such lower amount as may be required under the Revolving Credit Agreement at any time.

(ii)

The Administrative Agent may (or may request that the Collateral Agent), at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, request that each U.S. Grantor instruct each Person obligated at any time to make any payment to such U.S. Grantor for any reason (an “Obligor”) to make such payment to a Pledged Deposit Account or the Collateral Account, except that such U.S. Grantor shall not be under such obligation with respect to Persons (i) making payments to a Pledged Deposit Account or Collateral Account as of the date hereof, (ii) making payments to such U.S. Grantor of less than $250,000 a year in the aggregate, or (iii) making payments to accounts not purported to be subject to the security of the Guaranteed Parties in accordance with this Agreement, if any.

(iii)

The Administrative Agent may (or may request that the Collateral Agent), at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default and without notice to, or consent from, any U.S. Grantor, transfer, or direct the transfer of, funds from the Pledged Deposit Accounts to the Collateral Account to satisfy the Secured Obligations under the Security and Pledge Agreement and other Credit Documents.

(iv)

Upon any termination by a U.S. Grantor of any Pledged Deposit Account, such U.S. Grantor will promptly (i) to the extent transferred within the United States, transfer all funds and property held in such terminated Pledged Deposit Account to another Pledged Deposit Account or the Collateral Account and (ii) notify all Obligors that were making payments to such Pledged Deposit Account, to the extent future payments continue to be made within the United States, to make all future payments to another Pledged Deposit Account or the Collateral Account, in each case so that the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall have a continuously perfected security interest in such Collateral Account, funds and property.

(d)

Collections on Assigned Agreements and Instruments. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 6.01(15)(d), each U.S. Grantor will continue to collect, at its own expense, all amounts due or to become due to such U.S. Grantor under the Assigned Agreements, Receivables and Related Contracts (each such term being used herein as defined in the Security and Pledge Agreement). In connection with such collections, such U.S. Grantor may take (and, at the Administrative Agent’s direction upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, will take) such action as such U.S. Grantor or the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable to enforce collection of the Assigned Agreements, Receivables and Related Contracts; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall have the right at any time, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and upon written notice to such U.S. Grantor of its intention to do so, to notify the Obligors under

- 94 -

any Assigned Agreements or Instruments of the assignment of such Assigned Agreements and Instruments to the Administrative Agent and to direct such Obligors to make payment of all amounts due or to become due to such U.S. Grantor thereunder directly to the Administrative Agent and, upon such notification and at the expense of such U.S. Grantor, to enforce collection of any such Assigned Agreements and Instruments to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as such U.S. Grantor might have done, and to otherwise exercise all rights with respect to such Assigned Agreements and Instruments, including those set forth in Section 9-607 of the UCC. After receipt by any U.S. Grantor of the notice from the Administrative Agent referred to in the proviso to the preceding sentence upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (i) all amounts and proceeds (including instruments) received by such U.S. Grantor in respect of the Assigned Agreements and Instruments of such U.S. Grantor shall be deemed to be received in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of such U.S. Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Administrative Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement) to be deposited in the Collateral Account and either (A) released to such U.S. Grantor on the terms set forth in Section 5 of the Security and Pledge Agreement so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or (B) if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, applied as provided in Section 14(b) of the Security and Pledge Agreement and (ii) upon notice from the Administrative Agent in connection with the enforcement of its rights and remedies under the Credit Documents, such U.S. Grantor will not adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment of any Receivable or amount due on any Instrument, release wholly or partly any Obligor thereof or allow any credit or discount thereon. No U.S. Grantor will permit or consent to the subordination of its right to payment under any of the Assigned Agreements or Instruments to any other indebtedness or obligations of the Obligor thereof.

(e)

Commercial Tort Claims. Each U.S. Grantor will promptly give notice to the Administrative Agent of any commercial tort claim of such U.S. Grantor that may arise after the date hereof with an anticipated recovery of at least $2,000,000 and will immediately execute or otherwise authenticate a supplement to the Security and Pledge Agreement, and otherwise take all action reasonably necessary to subject such commercial tort claim to the security interest created under such Security Document.

(16)

Financial Assistance. Each Loan Party shall comply, in each case in all material respects, with sections 677 to 683 (inclusive) of the Companies Act (if applicable) and all other applicable laws and regulations relating to financial assistance by a company for the acquisition or subscription for shares or relating to protection of shareholders’ capital in other applicable jurisdictions, including in relation to the execution and performance of the Credit Documents and the payment of amounts due under the Credit Documents.

(17)

Scheme and Offer.

(a)

The Borrower agrees that it shall (and shall procure that Bidco shall):

(i) not issue any Press Release other than (x) the initial Press Release or pursuant to Section 6.01(17)(a)(vi), or (y) unless, subject to such amendments as are not Materially Adverse Amendments, that Press Release is consistent in all material respects with the draft of the Press Release delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 4.01(1)(c);

(ii) except as consented to by the Administrative Agent in writing, not increase the price paid for any Target Shares pursuant to a Scheme or, as the case may be, an Offer (unless the increased amount payable is fully funded by equity contributions to the Borrower or the issuance of equity interests by the Borrower on terms approved by the Administrative Agent) and ensure that the terms of the Offer or Scheme as set out in the Offer Documents or the Scheme Documents (as the case may be) are consistent in all material respects with the respective press release delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 4.01(1)(c) subject to any variation required by the Takeover Code, the Court or the Panel and, in each case, to any variations which would not contravene Section 6.01(17)(b). In the case of an Offer, the Acceptance Condition shall be not capable of being satisfied, unless acceptances have been received that would, when aggregated with all Target Shares (excluding shares held in treasury) directly or indirectly owned by the Borrower, result in the Borrower (directly or indirectly) holding shares representing, in any case, not less than 75% of all Target Shares carrying voting rights on a fully diluted basis (excluding any shares held in treasury) as at the date on which the Offer is declared unconditional (the “Minimum Acceptance Level”);

(iii) comply in all material respects with the Takeover Code, subject to any consents, waivers or dispensations granted by the Panel or the requirements of the Court, and all other applicable laws and regulations that are relevant to any Offer or Scheme;

(iv) promptly provide the Administrative Agent with such information as it may reasonably request in writing as to the status and progress of the Scheme or Offer (including, in the case of an Offer, the current level of acceptances, the implementation and exercise of the Squeeze-Out Rights and the dispatch of any Squeeze-Out Notices, if relevant), any regulatory and anti-trust clearances required in connection with the Target Acquisition and such other information as it may reasonably request regarding the status of the Target Acquisition subject to any confidentiality, regulatory or other restrictions relating to the supply of such information;

(v) deliver to the Administrative Agent copies of each Press Release, each Offer Document, each Scheme Document and all material legally binding agreements entered into by the Borrower or Bidco in connection with an Offer or Scheme, in each case, except to the extent it is prohibited by law or regulation from doing so;

- 96 -

(vi) in the event that a Scheme is switched to an Offer or vice versa, except as consented to by the Administrative Agent in writing, ensure that the terms and conditions contained in the Offer Documents or the Scheme Documents (whichever is applicable) are consistent in all material respects with those set out in the Press Release delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 4.01(1)(c) other than (x) any changes permitted to be made in accordance with Section 6.01(17) (b) or which are required to reflect the change in legal form to an Offer or a Scheme, (y) in the case of a Scheme, any variation required by the Court or (z) any amendments that are not Materially Adverse Amendments;

(vii) in the case of an Offer, following the Closing Date, should the Borrower become entitled to exercise its Squeeze-Out Rights, promptly ensure that Squeeze-Out Notices are delivered to the relevant holders of shares in Target and otherwise comply with all of the applicable provisions of the Companies Act to enable it to exercise its Squeeze-Out Rights;

(viii) shall not take any action, and procure that none of its Affiliates nor any person acting in concert with the Borrower or Bidco (within the meaning of the Takeover Code) takes any action, which would require the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to make a mandatory offer for the Target Shares in accordance with Rule 9 of the Takeover Code or which would require a change to be made to the terms of the Scheme or the Offer (as the case may be), including pursuant to Rule 6 or Rule 11 of the Takeover Code which change, if made voluntarily, would be a Materially Adverse Amendment;

(ix) not at any time (including following the Offer Unconditional Date or Scheme Effective Date) make any public announcement or public statement (other than in the relevant Press Release or Acquisition Document) concerning this Agreement or the parties to this Agreement (other than the Borrower and its Subsidiaries) in connection with the financing of the Target Acquisition without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) or unless required to do so by the Takeover Code or the Panel, the Court, any regulation, any applicable stock exchange, any applicable governmental or other regulatory authority;

(x) in the case of an Offer, not declare the Offer unconditional unless the Minimum Acceptance Level is achieved;

(xi) subject always to the Companies Act and any applicable listing rules, in the case of a Scheme, within 30 days after the Scheme Effective Date and, in the case of an Offer, within 30 days after the date upon which the Borrower (directly or indirectly) owns Target Shares (excluding any shares held in treasury) which represent not less than 75% of all Target Shares (excluding any shares held in treasury), procure that such action as is necessary is taken to apply for the cancellation of trading in the Target Shares on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange and the listing of the Target Shares on the official list maintained by the Financial Conduct Authority pursuant to Part 6 of the Financial Services and Markets Xxx 0000 and to cause the Target to reregister as a private company under the Companies Act as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter; and

- 97 -

(b)

Except as consented to by the Administrative Agent in writing (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), each of the Borrower and Bidco hereby covenants and agrees that it will not amend, treat as satisfied or waive (i) any term or condition of the Scheme Documents or, as the case may be, the Offer Documents (including, without limitation, the Acceptance Condition), other than any such amendment, treatment or waiver which is not a Materially Adverse Amendment, or (ii) if the Target Acquisition is proceeding as an Offer, the Acceptance Condition if the effect of such amendment, treatment or waiver would be that the Acceptance Condition would be capable of being satisfied at a level less than the Minimum Acceptance Level.

(18)

Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Bridge Loans shall be used solely for Certain Funds Purposes. No part of the proceeds of the Loans will be used, whether directly or indirectly, for the purpose, whether immediate, incidental or ultimate, of buying or carrying any Margin Stock. The Borrower will not, directly or, to the Borrower’s knowledge, indirectly, use the proceeds of the Loans, or lend, contribute or otherwise make available such proceeds to any subsidiary, joint venture partner or other Person, (a) (i) to fund activities or business of or with any Person, or in any country or territory, that, at the time of such funding, is, or whose government is, the subject or target of Sanctions, or (ii) in any other manner that would result in a violation of Sanctions by any Person (including any Person participating in the Loans, whether as underwriter, advisor, investor, or otherwise); or (b) in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay, or authorization of the payment or giving of money, or anything else of value, to any Person in violation of Anti-Corruption Laws or anti-money laundering laws; provided that, for the purposes of the definition of Certain Funds Covenant, payment of the proceeds of the Bridge Loans to (A) the Receiving Agent in consideration for the purchase of the Target Shares and the disbursement of those proceeds to the holders of the Target Shares in compliance with its customary procedures, (B) the agent or trustee, as applicable, for the holders of the Target Existing Debt and the disbursement of those proceeds to such holders pursuant to the Target Refinancing, in compliance with the customary procedures of such agent or trustee, and (C) pay (directly or indirectly) any United Kingdom stamp duty and stamp duty reserve tax, or any fees, costs and expenses required to be paid under the terms of the Credit Documents to the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders, in each case, shall not constitute a breach of clause (a) or (b) of this sentence. The proceeds of the Permanent Securities shall be used to repay the Loans to the extent required by Section 2.05.

(19)

Take-Out Financing and Securities Demand.

(a)

The Borrower shall engage one or more investment banks (the “Investment Banks”) reasonably satisfactory to the Book-Runners to privately place debt securities of the Borrower (the “New Securities”) that will yield aggregate gross proceeds of up to U.S. $2,000,000,000 (plus any additional amounts allocated to the Bridge Loan Facility pursuant to the Flex Letter), which gross proceeds shall be used for Certain Funds Purposes if such sale or placement is completed on or prior to the Closing Date (and any gross

- 98 -

proceeds thereof shall reduce, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, the aggregate amount of the Commitments hereunder) or, to the extent such sale or placement occurs subsequent to the Closing Date, the gross proceeds of which will be used to refinance the Bridge Loans. The Borrower shall take such actions as are reasonably necessary so that the Investment Banks can, as soon as practicable after the date on which a Securities Demand (as defined below) is given, privately place, in one or more offerings or placements (and not through a public offering), the New Securities specified in the Securities Demand, in each case subject to the terms and conditions hereof. Subject to the other provisions and limitations of this Section 6.01(19), the Investment Banks, in their reasonable discretion after consultation with the Borrower, shall determine whether, and in what amounts, the New Securities shall be issued by the Borrower, the amount of each series of New Securities to be issued if the New Securities are to be issued in a series of offerings and/or placements and what type of New Securities or combination of New Securities are to be issued. The Borrower will, and will cause its Subsidiaries (including after the Closing Date, the Target Group) to, cooperate with the Investment Banks and, prior to the Closing Date, use commercially reasonable efforts to have the Target Group and its and their respective advisors do the same (to the extent determined by Borrower to be reasonably practical, permitted and appropriate) and provide information reasonably deemed necessary by the Investment Banks in connection with placing or selling or obtaining commitments for the purchase or acquisition of the New Securities. Such cooperation will include, without limitation, at the Investment Bank’s request, commercially reasonable efforts to:

(i)

prepare, as soon as practicable, an offering circular, private placement memorandum suitable for use in a customary road show relating to the issuance by the Borrower of debt securities or other document with respect to the offer and sale of New Securities;

(ii)

negotiate or execute a placement agency, purchase or other applicable type of agreement containing such terms, covenants, conditions, representations, warranties and indemnities as are customary in similar transactions, subject to the Documentation Standard (taking into account that the New Securities will be secured notes), and providing for the delivery of customary legal opinions, comfort letters, and officers’ certificates, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower, the Investment Banks and their respective counsel;

(iii)

deliver to the Investment Banks concurrently with, or as part of, the offering circular, private placement memorandum or other document referred to above, the Required Notes Information;

(iv)

make appropriate officers and representatives of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries reasonably available to the Investment Banks, upon reasonable notice, for meetings with prospective purchasers of the New Securities;

- 99 -

(v)

obtain corporate ratings for the New Securities after giving effect to the Transactions from Moody’s and S&P;

(vi)

cooperate with the Investment Bank’s due diligence investigation of the Borrower, its Subsidiaries and the Target Group (in the case of the Target Group, prior to the Closing Date, to the extent determined by Borrower to be reasonably practical, permitted and appropriate), including, without limitation, making appropriate officers and representatives of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (including their accountants) reasonably available to the Investment Banks, upon reasonable notice, for customary due diligence sessions and by supplying, to the extent available, due diligence materials and information with respect to the general affairs, management, prospects, financial position, stockholders’ equity and results of operations of the Borrower, its Subsidiaries and the Target Group (in the case of the Target Group, prior to the Closing Date, to the extent determined by Borrower to be reasonably practical, permitted and appropriate); and

(vii)

advise the Investment Banks promptly of the occurrence of any event or any other change known to the Borrower or its Subsidiaries that results in any offering circular, private placement memorandum or other document relating to the New Securities containing an untrue statement of a material fact or omitting to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements contained therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, when taken as a whole, not misleading, and to promptly update the offering circular, private placement memorandum or other document in order ensure that it does not contain such untrue statement or omission.

(b)

At any time and from time to time on or following the date that is six (6) months after the date hereof and after consultation with the Borrower taking into account the availability of financing information and cooperation from the Target (the “Early Demand Date” and any such Securities Demand, the “Early Securities Demand”) or five Business Days prior to the Closing Date until the Bridge Loan Conversion Date (the “Non-Early Demand Date” and any such Securities Demand, the “Non-Early Securities Demand”), upon no less than ten Business Days (or five Business Days with respect to New Securities to be issued on the Closing Date) prior notice by the Majority of the Book-Runners to the Borrower (a “Securities Demand”), so long as any Commitments or any Bridge Loans are outstanding (provided that not more than three Securities Demands may be delivered to the Borrower during such period), the Borrower will cause the issuance and sale of New Securities, in such amounts and on such terms and conditions (including without limitation covenants, events of default, guarantees, currency, interest rates, yield, redemption provisions and maturity date) as are specified in the Securities Demand; provided, however, that (x) (i) in the case of any Non-Early Securities Demand, no New Securities shall be issued earlier than the Closing Date and (ii) in the case of any Early Securities Demand, such New Securities may, at the option of

- 100 -

the Borrower, be issued into escrow on customary terms and subject to customary conditions and, in any case, shall be subject to special mandatory redemption at 100% of the issue price in the event that the Target Acquisition is not consummated and (y) each Securities Demand shall be in respect of a sale of a minimum of U.S. $250,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of New Securities (or, if less, an aggregate principal amount equal to the amount of outstanding Bridge Loans or Commitments), except in the case of this clause (y), with respect to any Securities Demand for the issuance of additional New Securities of the same series or that are issued under an existing indenture governing New Securities; provided, further, that for each issuance of New Securities:

(i)

the interest rate on any such issuance shall not exceed the Total Cap (subject to clause (ii) below);

(ii)

at the date of issuance the weighted average total effective yield applicable to any New Securities shall be such that the weighted average total effective yield applicable to (x) the New Securities (including those issued pursuant to a prior Securities Demand) and (y) the Loans, shall not exceed the Total Cap (it being understood that any floating interest rates and/or yields included in any of the foregoing calculations shall be determined using a methodology reasonably satisfactory to the Investment Banks, with original issue discount (other than any original issue discount resulting from a sale by the Investment Banks at a price less than the price paid by the Investment Banks) considered yield for the purpose of this clause (ii) and determined in accordance with customary market convention);

(iii)

the issue price of any New Securities shall not be less than 98.0% of the principal amount thereof;

(iv)

the New Securities shall be senior secured Permanent Securities of the Borrower with (i) a final maturity date no earlier than the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date and (ii) the call protection shall be high-yield style and the non-call period shall not exceed three years;

(v)

the New Securities shall not be subject to any financial maintenance covenants;

(vi)

the aggregate amount of proceeds of the New Securities shall not exceed an amount sufficient to repay all the then outstanding principal and other amounts under the Bridge Loans (or, with respect to New Securities issued on the Closing Date in lieu of the Bridge Loans, an amount up to the aggregate principal amount of Commitments, including any increases thereof pursuant to the Flex Letter);

(vii)

the New Securities shall be issued by the Borrower and shall be guaranteed by the Guarantors on terms customary for similar debt securities and consistent with the Documentation Standard;

- 101 -

(viii)

such Securities Demand shall only be permitted after the Borrower shall have participated in, or been afforded an opportunity to participate in, a customary “roadshow”;

(ix)

the New Securities shall contain terms, conditions, covenants and defaults, in each case (other than as provided herein) customary for senior notes, as modified to reflect then-prevailing market conditions as reasonably determined by the Investment Banks, and the financial condition and prospects of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries at such time, but in any event shall have the same guarantors as the Bridge Loans and consistent with the Documentation Standard; and

(x)

a customary AHYDO savings clause will be included at the election of the Borrower if the Securities are issued with significant original issue discount or paid-in-kind interest or would otherwise constitute AHYDO;

in each case, unless otherwise agreed by the Investment Banks and the Borrower.

(c)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event of a Demand Failure, (A) the Lenders shall have the right to increase the interest rate with respect to the Bridge Loans on the Demand Failure Date (and/or any time thereafter) such that the interest rate on all Bridge Loans hereunder shall be increased to the Total Cap (provided that no Securities shall be required to be issued to repay any Bridge Loans that have become subject to call protection as provided below following a Demand Failure, except to the extent that such call protection has been waived by the applicable Lenders of Bridge Loans), (B) the Conversion Fee, if not previously paid, shall become immediately due and payable upon any such failure to execute a Securities Demand in respect thereof and (C) any transfer restrictions applicable to the Bridge Loans shall be removed.

(d)

As long as any Securities are held by any Investment Bank or any affiliate of an Investment Bank, whether or not a Demand Failure has occurred, such Securities shall be optionally redeemable or purchasable at any time by the Borrower or any of its affiliates at the issue price plus accrued and unpaid interest and accreted OID (and, for the avoidance of doubt, without premium or penalty of any kind). The redemption provisions of the Securities will provide for non-ratable voluntary redemptions of Securities held by each Investment Bank and its affiliates at such prices for so long as such Securities are held by them; provided that such non-ratable voluntary redemption shall, as between such Investment Banks and such affiliates, be made on a pro rata basis.

(20)

Target Refinancing. The Borrower will cause the Target Refinancing to occur on or substantially concurrently with the Closing Date.

(21)

Marketing Period. The Borrower will use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure a Notes Marketing Period is provided prior to the issuance of any Permanent Securities.

ARTICLE 8

YIELD PROTECTION

Section 8.01 Increased Costs; Reserves on Term SOFR Advances

(1)

Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(a)

impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender, including Term SOFR funds or deposits;

(b)

subject any Lender to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (c) and (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(c)

impose on any Lender or the London applicable interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender;

- 113 -

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making, or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount), then upon request of such Lender, the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(2)

Compensation for Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense (excluding any loss, cost or expense arising from Taxes) incurred by it as a result of:

(a)

any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Advance other than a Base Rate Advance on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Advance (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);

(b)

any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make an Advance) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Advance other than a Base Rate Advance on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower; or

(c)

any assignment of a Term SOFR Advance on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor pursuant to Section 3.04(1) or as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 8.03;

including any loss of anticipated profits and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Advance or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower shall not be obligated to compensate any Lender under this Section for any loss of anticipated profits in respect of any of the foregoing. For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Term SOFR Advance made by it at the Term SOFR Reference Rate.

(3)

Liquidity or Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding liquidity or capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s liquidity or capital or on the liquidity or capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or its holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of its holding company with respect to liquidity or capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will

- 114 -

pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or its holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(4)

Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (1), (2) or (3) of this Section (“Additional Compensation”), including a description of the event by reason of which it believes it is entitled to such compensation, and supplying reasonable supporting evidence and reasonable detail of the basis of calculation of the amount or amounts, and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. In the event the Lender subsequently recovers all or part of the Additional Compensation paid by the Borrower, it shall promptly repay an equal amount to the Borrower. The obligation to pay such Additional Compensation for subsequent periods will continue until the earlier of termination of the Accommodation or the Commitment affected by the Change in Law, change in capital or liquidity requirement or the lapse or cessation of the Change in Law giving rise to the initial Additional Compensation. A Lender shall make reasonable efforts to limit the incidence of any such Additional Compensation and seek recovery for the account of the Borrower upon the Borrower’s reasonable request at Borrower’s expense, provided such Lender in its reasonable determination suffers no appreciable economic, legal, regulatory or other disadvantage. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, a Lender shall only be entitled to rely upon the provisions of this Section 8.01 if and for so long as it is generally making corresponding demands for similar amounts for similarly situated borrowers pursuant to provisions similar to the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.01 in other loan documents to which such Lender is party.

(5)

Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, except that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefore, unless the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, in which case the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

All of the Borrower’s obligations under this Section 8.01 shall survive the payment in full of the other obligations hereunder and the termination of this Agreement.

Section 8.02 Taxes

(1)

Payments Subject to Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any Credit Document shall be made free and clear and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes; provided that, if any Law requires the deduction or withholding of any Taxes in respect of any such payment by or on account of any obligation of a Loan Party hereunder or under

- 115 -

any other Credit Document, then (i) the Loan Party shall make any such deductions required to be made by it under Law, (ii) the Loan Party shall timely pay the full amount required to be deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Law and (iii) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax the sum payable by the Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after making or allowing for all required deductions and payments (including such deductions and payments applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent or Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or payments been required.

(2)

Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of paragraph (1) above, the Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Law.

(3)

Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 15 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid or payable by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in respect of any payment by or on account of any obligation of a Loan Party hereunder or under any other Credit Document and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. In the event the Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified under this Section (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section) by the Borrower, it shall pay an equal amount 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. Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall promptly repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 8.02(3) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority). A Lender shall make reasonable efforts to limit the incidence of any payments under this Section and seek recovery for the account of the Borrower upon the Borrower’s reasonable request at the Borrower’s expense, provided such Lender in its reasonable determination suffers no appreciable economic, legal, regulatory or other disadvantage and further provided that nothing in this Section shall require a Lender to disclose any Tax returns of such Lender or any other Tax information which such Lender deems to be confidential.

(4)

Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 8.02, the Loan Party 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.

(5)

Status of Lenders. Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is resident for Tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by Xxx as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by 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 withholding or information reporting requirements.

(6)

If a payment made by the Borrower hereunder or under any other Credit Document would be subject to withholding tax imposed pursuant to FATCA if any Lender fails to comply with applicable reporting and other 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 applicable Law or as reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, any documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including documentation prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(c)(i) of the Code or such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent for the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA), to determine the amount to withhold or deduct from such payment and to determine that such Lender has complied with such applicable reporting and other requirements of FATCA.

(7)

Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section, the term “Law” includes FATCA.

All of the Borrower’s obligations under this Section 8.02 shall survive the payment in full of the other obligations hereunder and the termination of this Agreement.

Section 8.03 Mitigation Obligations: Replacement of Lenders

(1)

Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 8.01, or requires the Borrower to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 8.02, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Accommodations hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender (with the prior consent of the Borrower), such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 8.01 or 8.02, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

- 117 -

(2)

Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 8.01, if the Borrower is required to pay any material additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 8.02, if any Lender’s obligations are suspended pursuant to Section 2.15, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Accommodations hereunder, then the Borrower may either, at its sole expense and effort, upon 10 days’ notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent (i) repay all outstanding amounts due to such affected Lender (or such portion which has not been acquired pursuant to clause (ii) below) and thereupon such Commitment of the affected Lender shall be permanently cancelled and the aggregate Commitment shall be permanently reduced by the same amount and the Commitment of each of the other Lenders shall remain the same; or (ii) require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 15.01), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Credit Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:

(a)

the Borrower pays the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 15.01(2)(d);

(b)

the assigning Lender receives payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Credit Documents (including any breakage costs and amounts required to be paid under this Agreement as a result of prepayment to a Lender) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

(c)

in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 8.01 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 8.02, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

(d)

such assignment does not conflict with Law.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

ARTICLE 9

RIGHT OF SETOFF

Section 9.01 Right of Setoff.

If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each of the Lenders and each of their respective Affiliates hereby authorized at any time and from time to time to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender or

- 118 -

any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party against any and all of the Obligations of the Borrower or any Guarantor now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Credit Document to such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender has made any demand under this Agreement or any other Credit Document and although such Obligations of the Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.12 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff, consolidation of accounts and bankers’ lien) that such Lender or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application, but the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. If any Affiliate of a Lender exercises any rights under this Section 9.01, it shall share the benefit received in accordance with Section 10.01 as if the benefit had been received by the Lender of which it is an Affiliate.

ARTICLE 10

SHARING OF PAYMENTS BY XXXXXXX

Section 10.01 Sharing of Payments by Xxxxxxx

(1)

If any Lender, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtains any payment or other reduction that might result in such Lender receiving payment or other reduction of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other obligations hereunder greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such payment or other reduction shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the outstanding Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective outstanding Loans and other amounts owing them; provided that:

(a)

if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest;

(b)

the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by any Loan Party pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to any Loan Party or any

- 119 -

Affiliate

of a Loan Party (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply); and

(c)

the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (w) any payment made while no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing in respect of obligations of the Borrower to such Lender that do not arise under or in connection with the Credit Documents, (x) any payment made in respect of an obligation that is secured by a Permitted Encumbrance or that is otherwise entitled to priority over the Borrower’s Obligations under or in connection with the Credit Documents, (y) any reduction arising from an amount owing to a Loan Party upon the termination of derivatives entered into between the Loan Party and such Lender, or (z) any payment to which such Lender is entitled as a result of any form of credit protection obtained by such Lender.

(2)

The Loan Parties consent to the foregoing and agree, to the extent they may effectively do so under Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against each Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim and similar rights of Lenders with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of each Loan Party in the amount of such participation.

ARTICLE 11

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S CLAWBACK

Section 11.01 Administrative Agent’s Clawback

(1)

Funding by Xxxxxxx; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any advance of funds that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Xxxxxx’s share of such advance, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Xxxxxx has made such share available on such date in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement concerning funding by Xxxxxxx and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable advance available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with prevailing banking industry practice on interbank compensation. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Accommodation included in such advance. If the Lender does not do so forthwith, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on written demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon at the interest rate applicable to the advance in question. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that has failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

- 120 -

(2)

Payments by Borrowers; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Lender hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute the amount due to the Lenders. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with prevailing banking industry practice on interbank compensation.

The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Liabilities, this Section 12.05 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender or any other Person regardless of whether any Indemnified Person is a party to such investigation, litigation or proceeding. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Credit Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower.

Section 12.07 Replacement of Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent

(1)

The Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent may resign at any time upon 30 days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Majority Lenders shall have the right, with the prior consent of Xxxxxxxx (except during the occurrence or continuation of an Event of Default, during which no consent shall be required), to appoint a successor.

(2)

If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent or the retiring Collateral Agent, as applicable, gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent or the retiring Collateral Agent, as applicable, may, but shall not be required to, with the prior consent of Open Text (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent or successor Collateral Agent, respectively, meeting the qualifications specified in Section 12.07(1); provided that if the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall notify Open Text and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent or the retiring Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Credit Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent or the retiring Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent or successor Collateral Agent, respectively, is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Majority Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent or the successor Collateral Agent, respectively, as provided for above in the preceding paragraph.

Upon a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent hereunder, as applicable, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers,

- 125 -

privileges and duties of the former Administrative Agent or the former Collateral Agent, as applicable, and the former Administrative Agent or the former Collateral Agent, respectively, shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Credit Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided in the preceding paragraph). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent or successor Xxxxxxxxxx Agent, as applicable, shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the termination of the service of the former Administrative Agent or former Collateral Agent, as applicable, the provisions of this Article 12 and of Article 14 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such former Administrative Agent or former Collateral Agent, its sub-Administrative Agents or sub-Collateral Agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the former Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, was acting as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, respectively.

Section 12.08 Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Section 12.09 Collective Action of the Lenders

Each of the Lenders hereby acknowledges that to the extent permitted by Law, any collateral security and the remedies provided under the Credit Documents to the Lenders are for the benefit of the Lenders collectively and acting together and not severally and further acknowledges that its rights hereunder and under any collateral security are to be exercised not severally, but by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent upon the decision of the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for in the Credit Documents). Accordingly, notwithstanding any of the provisions contained herein or in any collateral security, each of the Lenders hereby covenants and agrees that it shall not be entitled to take any action hereunder or thereunder including any declaration of default hereunder or thereunder but that any such action shall be taken only by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent with the prior written agreement of the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for in the Credit Documents). Each of the Lenders hereby further covenants and agrees that upon any such written agreement being given, it shall co-operate fully with the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the absence of instructions from the Lenders and where in the sole opinion of the Administrative Agent, acting reasonably and in good faith, the exigencies of the situation warrant such action, the Administrative Agent may without notice to or consent of the Lenders take such action (or direct the Collateral Agent to take such action) on behalf of the Lenders as it deems appropriate or desirable in the interest of the Lenders.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the obligations hereunder or the rights of any Lender to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

Section 12.13 Erroneous Payments

(1)

Each Lender (and each Participant, by its acceptance of a participation) hereby acknowledges and agrees that if the Administrative Agent notifies such Lender that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds (or any portion thereof) received by such Lender (any of the foregoing, a “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 Payment Recipient) (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, a “Payment”) and demands the return of such Payment, such Payment Recipient shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment as to which such a demand was made. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this Section shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(2)

Without limitation of clause (1) above, each Payment Recipient further acknowledges and agrees that if such Payment Recipient receives a Payment from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in an amount, or on a date different from the amount and/or date specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Payment (a “Payment Notice”), (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, or (z) that such Payment Recipient otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), in each case, it understands and agrees at the time of receipt of such Payment that an error has been made (and that it is deemed to have knowledge of such error) with respect to such Payment. Each Payment Recipient agrees that, in each such case, it shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand

- 129 -

from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made.

(3)

Any Payment required to be returned by a Payment Recipient under this Section shall be 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 Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. Each Payment Recipient hereby agrees that it shall not assert and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, hereby waives, any right to retain such Payment, and any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment or similar right to any demand by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Payment received, including, without limitation, any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

(4)

The Borrower and each other Subsidiary hereby agrees that (x) in the event an erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Lender that has received such Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Lender with respect to such amount and (y) an erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Subsidiary except, in each case, to the extent such erroneous Payment is, and with respect to the amount of such erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds of the Borrower or any other Subsidiary.

(5)

Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 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 Credit Document.

(2)

Electronic Communications. Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites, including SyndTrak) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent and, in the case of the use of any web platform (such as SyndTrak) reasonably acceptable to Open Text; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender if such Lender has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication.

The Borrower hereby agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to identify that portion of the Borrower Materials that may be distributed to the Public Lenders and that (w) all the Borrower Materials shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arrangers and the Lenders to treat the Borrower Materials as not

- 131 -

(3)

(2)

Assignments by Xxxxxxx. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the outstanding Loans at the time owing to it); provided that:

(a)

except if an Event of Default or, after the Closing Date, a Demand Failure has occurred and is continuing or in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Xxxxxx’s Commitment and the outstanding Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitment being assigned (which for this purpose includes outstanding Loans hereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than U.S. $1,000,000, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents to a lower amount (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);

(b)

each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Xxxxxx’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the outstanding Loans or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause Section 15.01(2)(b) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate credits on a non-pro rata basis;

any assignment must be approved by the Administrative Agent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless the proposed assignee is itself already a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund;

(d)

any assignment must be approved by the Borrower, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed (provided that, following the Certain Funds Period, the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 5 Business Days after having received notice thereof; provided, further, that (other than with respect to any assignment

- 135 -

to any entity that becomes a Lead Arranger and Book-Runner after the date hereof), during the Certain Funds Period, the Borrower may withhold such consent in its sole discretion and any failure of the Borrower to provide such consent within five Business Days after having received notice thereof shall be deemed a refusal of such consent), unless the proposed assignee is itself already a Lender with the same type of Commitment or, following the Certain Funds Period, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or if an Event of Default or Demand Failure has occurred and is continuing; and if the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of U.S. $3,500 (other than in the case of multiple contemporaneous assignments by a Lender to affiliate funds or Approved Funds, in which case only one such fee shall be payable), which fee shall not be for the account of the Loan Parties, and the Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire; and

(e)

in connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Advances previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), and to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon); provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (4) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement with respect to the interest assigned and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, including any collateral security, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be

- 136 -

entitled to the benefits of Article 8 and Article 14, and shall continue to be liable for any breach of this Agreement by such Xxxxxx, with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any payment by an assignee to an assigning Lender in connection with an assignment or transfer shall not be or be deemed to be a repayment by the Borrower or a new Accommodation or Loan to the Borrower.

The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender (but, only in the case of a Lender, at the Administrative Agent’s office and with respect to any entry relating to such Xxxxxx’s Commitments and their Obligations), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Upon written request by Open Text, the Administrative Agent shall deliver a copy of the Register to Open Text within 5 Business Days after any such request.

(5)

Limitations upon Assignee Rights. Except in the case of an assignment made during the continuance of an Event of Default, no assignee shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 8.01 and 8.02 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the Commitments and Loans assigned to such assignee, unless such assignment is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent.

(6)

Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person, a Loan Party or any Affiliate of a Loan Party) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the outstanding Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Xxxxxx’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the

- 137 -

Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in clause (2) of Section 16.01 that directly affects such Participant. Any payment by a Participant to a Lender in connection with a sale of a participation shall not be or be deemed to be a repayment by the Borrower or a new Loan to the Borrower.

Subject to paragraph (7) of this Section, and to the extent permitted by Law, each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Article 8 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (2) of this Section, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Article 10 as though it were a Lender.

(7)

Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 8.01 and 8.02, and in respect of any breakage costs payable hereunder, than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent.

(8)

Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(9)

Participant Register. The applicable Lender, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower (solely for tax purposes), shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant, and the amount of each such Participant’s interest in such Xxxxxx’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of the applicable rights and/or obligations of such Lender under this Agreement. No Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (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 Credit Document) 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.

Section 16.02 Judgment Currency.

(1)

If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due to a Lender in any currency (the “Original Currency”) into another currency (the “Other Currency”), the parties agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which, in accordance with normal banking procedures, such Lender could purchase the Original Currency with the Other Currency on the Business Day preceding the day on which final judgment is given or, if permitted by Xxx, on the day on which the judgment is paid or satisfied.

(2)

The obligations of the Borrower in respect of any sum due in the Original Currency from it to any Lender under any of the Credit Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in any Other Currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Lender of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Other Currency, the Lender may, in accordance with normal banking procedures, purchase the Original Currency with such Other Currency. If the amount of the Original Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Lender in the Original Currency, the Borrower agree, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding the judgment, to indemnify the Lender, against any loss, and, if the amount of the Original Currency so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to the Lender in the Original Currency, the Lender shall remit such excess to the Borrower.

apply all dividends, compositions and moneys at any time received from any Guarantor or others or from the security upon such part of the Guaranteed Obligations as each Guaranteed Party deems appropriate.

Section 21.08 Assignment and Postponement.

All indebtedness and liability, present and future, of each Loan Party to each Guarantor are hereby assigned to the Administrative Agent on behalf and for the benefit of the Guaranteed Parties and postponed to the Guaranteed Obligations, and, following the occurrence of an Event of Default that is continuing, all monies received by any Guarantor in respect thereof shall be received in trust for the Guaranteed Parties and forthwith upon receipt thereof shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent on behalf and for the ratable benefit of the Guaranteed Parties; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, absent the continuance of an Event of Default, this Section 21.08 shall not prohibit or restrict payments and repayments by or to any Guarantor to the extent otherwise permitted by this Agreement.

Section 21.09 Action or Inaction.

Except as otherwise provided at Law, no action or omission on the part of any Guaranteed Party in exercising or failing to exercise its rights under this Section or in connection with or arising from all or part of the Guaranteed Obligations shall make any Guaranteed Party liable to any Guarantor for any loss occasioned to such Guarantor. No loss of or in respect of any securities received by any Guaranteed Party from any other Loan Party or others, whether occasioned by any Guaranteed Party’s fault or otherwise, shall in any way affect, relieve, limit or lessen any Guarantor’s liability under this Guarantee.

Section 21.10 Guaranteed Parties’ Rights.

The rights and remedies provided in this Section are cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently, and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by Law.

Section 21.11 Demand.

The Administrative Agent may make demand in writing to any Guarantor at any time and from time to time after the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each such written demand to be accepted by such Guarantor as complete and satisfactory evidence of the

amount of the Guaranteed Obligations to be paid by such Guarantor absent manifest error. Each Guarantor shall pay to the Administrative Agent such amount or amounts payable under this Guarantee immediately upon such written demand.

Section 21.12 No Representations.

Each Guarantor acknowledges that this Guarantee has been delivered free of any conditions and that there are no representations which have been made to such Guarantor affecting such Guarantor’s liability under this Guarantee except as may be specifically embodied in this Guarantee and agrees that this Guarantee is in addition to and not in substitution for any other guarantee(s) held or which may subsequently be held by or for the benefit of any Guaranteed Party.

Section 21.13 Intercreditor Agreement.

Each Lender hereby approves the Intercreditor Agreement and authorizes the Administrative Agent to execute the Intercreditor Agreement (or any supplement, amendment or joinder thereto) on its behalf. Without limiting the foregoing and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, any requirement under this Agreement or under any other Credit Document providing for Collateral to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall be satisfied upon the delivery of such Collateral to the Authorized Representative (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) for the applicable Secured Parties.
