Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Amended Credit Agreement (as defined below).

PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS:

WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Lenders from time to time party thereto and the Administrative Agent have entered into that certain Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of June 2, 2022 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time prior to, but not including, the date hereof, the “Existing Credit Agreement”). The Existing Credit Agreement, as amended by this Amendment No. 1, is referred to herein as the “Amended Credit Agreement”;

WHEREAS, the Borrower desires (i) to conduct open market purchases pursuant to the terms of the Existing Term Loan Credit Agreement to exchange the principal amount of Term Loans (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) outstanding as of the date hereof with New Term Loans (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement), (ii) to consummate the foregoing by way of the Term Loan Credit Agreement (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) and Amendment No. 2 to the Existing Term Loan Credit Agreement (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) and, (iii) after giving effect to the transactions described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), to use a portion of the proceeds of the New Term Loans to repay in part the principal amount of the Term Loans (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) (collectively, the foregoing, the “Amendment No. 1 Term Loan Exchange and Refinancing Transactions”);

WHEREAS, in connection with the Amendment No. 1 Term Loan Exchange and Refinancing Transactions, the Borrower desires to amend the Existing Credit Agreement pursuant to Section 10.08 of the Existing Credit Agreement and on the terms and conditions set forth herein to, among other things, increase the aggregate Commitments from $350,000,000 to $600,000,000 (the “Revolving Facility Increase”), and to amend the Collateral Agreement as set forth herein (the effectiveness of this Amendment No. 1, including the Revolving Facility Increase, together with the Amendment No. 1 Term Loan Exchange and Refinancing Transactions, the “Amendment No. 1 Transactions”); and

WHEREAS, each Lender party hereto has agreed to revise the Existing Credit Agreement and the Collateral Agreement on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of which are hereby acknowledged, and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

(a) Subject only to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 3 below, the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended to (a) delete the stricken text (indicated textually in the same manner as the following example: ~~stricken text~~) and to add the double-underlined text (indicated textually in the same manner as the following example: double-underlined text) as set forth in the Amended Credit Agreement attached as Annex A hereto; (b) amend and restate certain Schedules to the Existing Credit Agreement in their entirety as set forth in such Schedules attached as Annex B-1 hereto and (c) to amend and restate certain Schedules to the Collateral Agreement in their entirety as set forth in such Schedules attached as Annex B-2 hereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Amendment No. 1 or the Credit Agreement, the Revolving Facility Increase effected pursuant to this Amendment No. 1 shall not be deemed to be an Incremental Revolving Facility Increase for purposes of the Amended Credit Agreement.

(b) The amount of each Lender’s Revolving Facility Commitment, after giving effect to this Amendment (including the Revolving Facility Increase), is set forth on the amended and restated Schedule 2.01 attached hereto as Annex B. The Administrative Agent may, in consultation with the Borrower, take any and all actions as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that, after giving effect to each Lender’s pro rata share of the Revolving Facility Increase, the percentage of the aggregate Revolving Loans held by each Lender (including any new Lender) will equal the percentage of the aggregate Revolving Facility Commitments represented by such Xxxxxx’s Revolving Facility Commitment, which may be accomplished, at the discretion of the Administrative Agent, following consultation with the Borrower, by causing the non-increasing Lenders to assign portions of their outstanding Loans to increasing Lenders.

(c) Each Revolving Lender immediately prior to the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each other Lender providing a portion of the Revolving Facility Increase, and each such Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed a portion of such Revolving Lender’s participations under the Credit Agreement in outstanding Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans such that, after giving effect to each such deemed assignment and assumption of participations, the percentage of the aggregate outstanding participations under the Credit Agreement in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans held by each Revolving Lender will equal such Xxxxxx’s pro rata percentage of the aggregate Revolving Facility Commitment.

(d) Each Lender providing a portion of the Revolving Facility Commitment that was not a Lender prior to the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date (each a “New Lender”), if any, acknowledges and agrees that upon its execution of this Amendment No. 1, that the New Lender shall become a “Lender” under, and for all purposes of, the Amended Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall be subject to and bound by the terms thereof, and shall perform all the obligations of and shall have all rights of a Lender thereunder.

(e) Amendments to the Collateral Agreement. Subject only to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 3 below, the Collateral Agreement is hereby amended to delete the stricken text (indicated textually in the same manner as the following example: ~~stricken text~~) and to add the bolded, underlined text (indicated textually in the same manner as the following example: double-underlined text) as set forth in the pages of the Collateral Agreement attached as Annex C hereto.

(1)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, financial ratios shall be calculated in the manner prescribed by this Section 1.08; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in clauses (2), (3) or (4) of this Section 1.08, when calculating (a) the Applicable Margin pursuant to the definition of “Applicable Margin” and (b) any financial ratio for purposes of (~~a) determining Applicable Margins and pricing grid step-downs, (b~~i) calculations of mandatory prepayments, (cii) determining compliance with any financial covenant (including any financial covenant under this Agreement) and (diii) any provisions related to the foregoing, the events described in this Section 1.08 that occurred subsequent to the end of the applicable Test Period shall not be given pro forma effect.

(2)

For purposes of calculating the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, the Total Net Leverage Ratio, the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio or any other financial ratio, Specified Transactions (and the incurrence or repayment of any Indebtedness in connection therewith) that have been made (a) during the applicable Test Period or (b) subsequent to such Test Period and prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio is made shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming that all such Specified Transactions (and any increase or decrease in Consolidated EBITDA and the component financial definitions used therein attributable to any Specified Transaction) had occurred on the first day of the applicable Test Period. If since the beginning of any applicable Test Period any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged, amalgamated or consolidated with or into the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries since the beginning of such Test Period shall have made any Specified Transaction that would have required adjustment pursuant to this Section 1.08 then the financial ratios shall be calculated to give pro forma effect thereto in accordance with this Section 1.08.

(3)

Whenever pro forma effect is to be given to a Specified Transaction, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a Responsible Officer and may include, for the avoidance of doubt, the amount of cost savings, operating expense reductions and, synergies projected by the Borrower in good faith to be realized as a result of specified actions taken, committed to be taken or expected to be taken (calculated on a pro forma basis as though such cost savings, operating expense reductions and synergies had been realized on the first day of such Test Period and as if such cost savings, operating expense reductions and synergies were realized during the entirety of such period but, for the avoidance of doubt, subject to the limitations set forth in clause (g) of the definition of “Consolidated EBITDA” set forth herein) relating to such Specified Transaction, net of the amount of actual benefits realized during such period from such actions (such cost savings and synergies, “Specified Transaction Adjustments”); provided, that

(a)

such Specified Transaction Adjustments are reasonably identifiable and quantifiable in the good faith judgment of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower,

(b)

such actions are taken, committed to be taken or reasonably anticipated to be taken no later than ~~twenty four~~twelve (2412) months after the ~~date of such Specified Transaction~~end of the Test Period for which such determination is being made, and

(c)

no amounts shall be added pursuant to this clause (3) to the extent duplicative of any amounts that are otherwise added back in calculating Consolidated EBITDA, whether through a pro forma adjustment or otherwise, with respect to such period.

(4)

In the event that the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary incurs (including by assumption or guarantees) or repays (including by redemption, repayment, retirement or extinguishment) any Indebtedness included in the calculations of a financial covenant (in each case, other than Indebtedness incurred or repaid under any revolving credit facility (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Revolving Facility) in the ordinary course of business for working capital purposes), (a) during the applicable Test Period or (b) subsequent to the end of the applicable Test Period and prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio is made, then each financial ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such incurrence or repayment of Indebtedness, to the extent required, as if the same had occurred on the last day of the applicable Test Period.

Section 1.09 LCA Election. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, when (1) calculating any applicable ratio (for the avoidance of doubt, other than “Excess Availability”, “Specified Excess Availability” or any other “availability” test hereunder) in connection with incurrence of Indebtedness (other than the making of any Revolving Loans or the issuance of any Letters of Credit), the creation of Liens, the making of any disposition, the making of an Investment, the designation of a Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary or an Unrestricted Subsidiary or the repayment of Indebtedness or, (2) determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement which requires that no Default or Event of Default has occurred, is continuing or would result therefrom or (3) determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement which requires the accuracy of any representation or warranty, in each case of the preceding clauses (1) ~~and~~, (2) and (3) in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, the date of determination of such ratio ~~and determination of~~, whether any Default or Event of Default (other than a Specified Event of Default) has occurred, is continuing or would result therefrom and whether any representation or warranty is accurate shall, at the option of the Borrower (the Borrower’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction, an “LCA Election”), be deemed to be the date the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Transaction are entered into (the “LCA Test Date”). If on a Pro Forma Basis after giving effect to such Limited Condition Transaction and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof), with such ratios and other provisions being calculated as if such Limited Condition Transaction or other transactions had occurred at the beginning of the most recent Test Period ending prior to the LCA Test Date for which financial statements are available, the Borrower could have taken such action on the relevant LCA Test Date in compliance with the applicable ratios or other provisions, such ratios or provisions shall be deemed to have been complied with~~, unless~~ ~~a Specified Event of Default~~ ~~shall be continuing on the date such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated~~. For the avoidance of doubt, (a) if any of such ratios or other provisions are exceeded or breached as a result of fluctuations in such ratio (including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA) or other provisions at or prior to the consummation of the relevant Limited Condition Transaction, such ratios and other provisions will not be deemed to have been exceeded or breached solely for purposes of determining whether the Limited Condition Transaction is permitted hereunder and (b) such ratios and compliance with such conditions shall not be tested at the time of consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction or related Specified Transactions~~, unless on such date a Specified Event of Default shall be continuing.~~. If the Borrower has made an LCA Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio or basket availability (other than

for the purposes of determining actual compliance (and not Pro Forma compliance or compliance on a Pro Forma Basis) with the Financial Performance Covenant upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Covenant Trigger Event), with respect to any other Specified Transaction on or following the relevant LCA Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such ratio or basket shall be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any Loan Document to the contrary, if the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary (i) incurs Indebtedness, creates Liens, makes dispositions, makes investments, makes Restricted Payments, designates any Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary or an Unrestricted Subsidiary or repays any Indebtedness in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction under a ratio-based basket and (ii) incurs Indebtedness, creates Liens, makes dispositions, makes Investments, makes Restricted Payments, designates any Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary or an Unrestricted Subsidiary or repays any Indebtedness in connection with such Limited Condition Transaction under a non-ratio-based basket (which shall occur within five Business Days of the events in the preceding clause (i) above), then the applicable ratio will be calculated with respect to any such action under the applicable ratio-based basket without regard to any such action under such non-ratio-based basket made in connection with such Limited Condition Transaction.

Section 1.10 Rates. The Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to (a) the continuation of, administration of, submission of, calculation of or any other matter related to the ABR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR or Term SOFR, or any component definition thereof or rates referred to in the definition thereof, or any alternative, successor or replacement rate thereto (including any Benchmark Replacement), including whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, or have the same volume or liquidity as, ABR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR, Term SOFR or any other Benchmark prior to its discontinuance or unavailability, or (b) the effect, implementation or composition of any Conforming Changes. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of ABR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR, Adjusted Term SOFR, any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrower. The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain ABR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR, Adjusted Term SOFR or any other Benchmark, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.

ARTICLE II

THE CREDITS

Section 2.01 Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein:

(1)

Revolving Loans. Each Lender severally (and not jointly) agrees to make loans (“Revolving Loans”) to the Borrower in Dollars from time to time during the Availability Period in amounts not to exceed such Xxxxxx’s Revolving Facility Percentage of the Borrowing Base, and in an aggregate principal amount that will not result in (i) such Xxxxxx’s Revolving Facility Credit Exposure exceeding such Xxxxxx’s Revolving Facility Commitment or (ii) the total Revolving Facility Credit Exposure exceeding the total Revolving Facility Commitments. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans.

(2)

Overadvances. Insofar as the Borrower may request and the Administrative Agent may be willing in its sole discretion (but with absolutely no obligation) to (i) make Revolving Loans to the Borrower, on behalf of the Revolving Lenders, at a time when the Revolving Facility Credit Exposure exceeds, or would exceed with the making of any such Revolving Loan, the Borrowing Base (any such Loan being herein referred to individually as an “Overadvance”) or (ii) deem the amount of Revolving Loans outstanding that are in excess of the Borrowing Base to be Overadvances, and the Administrative Agent will enter such Overadvances as debits in the applicable Loan Account. All Overadvances shall be ABR Loans, will be repaid on demand, will be secured by the Collateral and will bear interest as provided in this Agreement for ABR Revolving Loans generally. Any Overadvance made pursuant to the terms hereof will be made to the Borrower by all Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Revolving Facility Percentages. Overadvances in the aggregate amount of $10.0 million or less may, unless a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, be made in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent; provided that the Required Revolving Lenders may at any time revoke the Administrative Agent’s authorization to make future Overadvances; provided that no existing Overadvances will be subject to such revocation and any such revocation must be in writing and will become effective prospectively upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof. Overadvances in an aggregate amount of more than $10.0 million but less than $25.0 million may, unless a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, be made with the consent of the Required Revolving Lenders. Overadvances in an aggregate amount of $25.0 million or more and Overadvances to be made after the occurrence and during the continuation of a Default or Event of Default will require the consent of all Revolving Lenders. No Overadvance shall result in a Default due to Borrower’s failure to comply with Section 2.01 for so long as such Overadvance remains outstanding in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.01(2), but solely with respect to the amount of such Overadvance. The making of an Overadvance on any one occasion shall not obligate the Administrative Agent to make any Overadvance on any other occasion. The

foregoing notwithstanding, in no event, unless otherwise consented to by all Revolving Lenders will:

(a)

any Overadvances be outstanding for more than 90 consecutive days;

(b)

the Administrative Agent or Lenders make any additional Overadvances unless 30 days or more have expired since the last date on which any Overadvances were outstanding; or

(c)

will the Administrative Agent make Revolving Loans on behalf of Lenders under this Section 2.01(2) to the extent such Revolving Loans would cause a Xxxxxx’s share of the Revolving Facility Credit Exposure to exceed such Xxxxxx’s Revolving Facility Commitment or cause the aggregate Revolving Facility Commitments to be exceeded.

(3)

Protective Advances. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent, in its sole, discretion (but with absolutely no obligation), may make Revolving Loans to the Borrower on behalf of all Lenders, so long as the aggregate amount of such Revolving Loans will not exceed 5.0% of the Borrowing Base, if the Administrative Agent, in its Reasonable Credit Judgment, deems that such Revolving Loans are necessary or desirable to:

(a)

preserve or protect all or any portion of the Collateral;

(b)

enhance the likelihood or maximize the amount of repayment of the Loans and the other Obligations; or

(c)

pay any other amount chargeable to or required to be paid by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement including payments of reimbursable expenses and other sums payable under the Loan Documents (such Revolving Loans, “Protective Advances”);

provided that (i) in no event will the Revolving Facility Credit Exposure exceed the aggregate Revolving Facility Commitments and (ii) the Required Revolving Lenders under the Revolving Facility may at any time revoke the Administrative Agent’s authorization to make future Protective Advances; provided, further, that any such revocation must be in writing and will become effective prospectively upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof and existing Protective Advances will not be subject to thereto.

Each applicable Lender will be obligated to advance to the Borrower its Revolving Facility Percentage of each Protective Advance made in accordance with this Section 2.01(3). If Protective Advances are made in accordance with the preceding sentence, then all Revolving Lenders will be bound to make, or permit to remain outstanding, such Protective Advances based upon their Revolving Facility Percentages in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. All Protective Advances will be repaid by the Borrower on demand, will be secured by the Collateral and will bear interest as provided in this Agreement for Revolving Loans generally. All Protective Advances shall be ABR Loans, will be repaid on demand, will be secured by the Collateral and will bear interest as provided in this Agreement for ABR Revolving Loans generally. At any time that there is Excess Availability and the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 have been satisfied, the Administrative Agent may request the Revolving Lenders to make a Revolving Loan to repay a Protective Advance.

Section 2.02 Loans and Borrowings.

(1)

Each Loan will be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans of the same Type made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it will not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender will be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required.

(2)

Subject to Section 2.14, each Borrowing will be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or SOFR Revolving Loans as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith. Each Lender at its option may make any ABR Loan or SOFR Revolving Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option will not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and such Lender will not be entitled to any amounts payable under Section 2.15 or 2.17 solely in respect of increased costs resulting from such exercise and existing at the time of such exercise.

(3)

At the commencement of each Interest Period for any SOFR Revolving Facility Borrowing, such Borrowing will be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum. At the time that each ABR Revolving Facility Borrowing is made, such Borrowing will be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum; provided that an ABR Revolving Facility Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused available balance of the Revolving Facility Commitments or that is required to finance the reimbursement of an L/C Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.05(5). Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there will not at any time be more than ten SOFR Revolving Facility Borrowings outstanding.

(4)

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

Section 2.03 Requests for Borrowings.

(1)

To request a Revolving Facility Borrowing, (a) with respect to any initial ABR Borrowing on the Closing Date or any Borrowing on the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date, the Borrower will deliver to the Administrative Agent a Borrowing Request not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, one Business Day before the anticipated Closing Date or Amendment No. 1 Effective Date, as applicable (or at

such later date or time as the Administrative Agent may agree), requesting that the Lenders make the Loans on the Closing Date or Amendment No. 1 Effective Date, as applicable; provided that such Borrowing Request may be conditioned upon occurrence of the Closing Date or Amendment No. 1 Effective Date, as applicable and (b) with respect to any other Borrowing, the Borrower will notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Administrative Agent, (i) in the case of a SOFR Revolving Facility Borrowing, not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing or (ii) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing (or in each case, at such later date or time as the Administrative Agent may agree). Each such telephonic Borrowing Request will be irrevocable and will be confirmed promptly by hand delivery, facsimile or e mail to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request substantially in the form of Exhibit D-1 and signed by the Borrower.

(2)

Each such telephonic and written Borrowing Request will specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(a)

the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing, which amount will not exceed Excess Availability;

(b)

the date of such Borrowing, which will be a Business Day;

(c)

whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a SOFR Revolving Facility Borrowing;

(d)

in the case of a SOFR Revolving Facility Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which will be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period;”

(e)

if the Borrowing Base contains Eligible Cash, the amount of Eligible Cash as of the close of business on the Business Day prior to the date such Borrowing Request is delivered; and

(f)

the location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed.

(3)

Disbursement. The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to disburse the proceeds of each Loan requested pursuant to this Section 2.03. The proceeds of each Revolving Loan requested under this Section 2.03 will be disbursed by the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds and in the same form as received from the Lenders, in the case of a borrowing on the Closing Date permitted under Section 2.01(1), in accordance with the terms of the written disbursement letter from the Borrower and, in the case of each Borrowing after the Closing Date, by wire transfer to such bank account as may be agreed upon by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, from time to time or elsewhere if pursuant to a written direction from the Borrower. If at any time any Loan is funded in excess of the amount requested by the Borrower, the Borrower agrees to repay the excess to the Administrative Agent immediately upon notice thereof to the Borrower from the Administrative Agent.

(4)

If no election as to the Type of Revolving Facility Borrowing is specified, then the requested Revolving Facility Borrowing will be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested SOFR Revolving Facility Borrowing, then the Borrower will be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section 2.03, the Administrative Agent will advise the Lenders of the details thereof and of the amount of each such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.

Section 2.04 Swingline Commitment.

(1)

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender may, in its sole discretion, make Swingline Loans to the Borrower, from time to time during the Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount outstanding at any time not to exceed the lesser of (i) the Swingline Commitment then in effect and (ii) the difference between the Line Cap and the aggregate Revolving Facility Credit Exposure at such time; provided that the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan. The Borrower shall be entitled to borrow, repay and reborrow Swingline Loans in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(2)

The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each Swingline Borrowing Request, substantially in the form of Exhibit D-3, prior to 10:00 a.m. on the requested date of each Swingline Borrowing. Each Swingline Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) the principal amount of such Swingline Borrowing, (ii) the date of such Swingline Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day) and (iii) the account of the Borrower to which the proceeds of such Swingline Borrowing should be credited. The Administrative Agent will promptly advise the Swingline Lender of each Swingline Borrowing Request. The aggregate principal amount of each Swingline Loan shall not be less than $100,000 or a larger multiple of $50,000, or such other minimum amounts agreed to by the Swingline Lender and the Borrower. The Swingline Lender will make the proceeds of each Swingline Loan available to the Borrower in Dollars in immediately available funds at the account specified by the Borrower in the applicable Swingline Borrowing Request not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested date of such Swingline Borrowing.

(3)

The Swingline Lender, at any time and from time to time in its sole discretion, may, but in no event no less frequently than once each calendar week shall, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Swingline Lender to act on its behalf), give a Swingline Borrowing Request to the Administrative Agent requesting the Lenders (including the Swingline Lender) to make ABR Loans in an amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of any

Swingline Loan. Each Lender will make the proceeds of its ABR Loan included in such Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender in accordance with Section 2.06, which will be used solely for the repayment of such Swingline Loan.

(4)

If for any reason an ABR Borrowing may not be (as determined in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent), or is not, made in accordance with the foregoing provisions, then each Lender (other than the Swingline Lender) shall purchase an undivided participating interest in such Swingline Loan in an amount equal to its Revolving Facility Percentage thereof on the date that such ABR Borrowing should have occurred. On the date of such required purchase, each Lender shall promptly transfer, in immediately available funds, the amount of its participating interest to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender.

(5)

Each Lender’s obligation to make an ABR Loan pursuant to paragraph (3) of this Section or to purchase participating interests pursuant to paragraph (4) of this Section shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation, (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender or any other Person may have or claim against the Swingline Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the existence of a Default or an Event of Default or the termination of any Lender’s Revolving Facility Commitment, (iii) the existence (or alleged existence) of any event or condition which has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent or any Lender or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. If such amount is not in fact made available to the Swingline Lender by any Lender, the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender, together with accrued interest thereon for each day from the date of demand thereof (x) at the Federal Funds Rate until the second Business Day after such demand and (y) at the ABR at all times thereafter. Until such time as such Lender makes its required payment, the Swingline Lender shall be deemed to continue to have outstanding Swingline Loans in the amount of the unpaid participation for all purposes of the Loan Documents. In addition, such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments made of principal and interest on its Loans and any other amounts due to it hereunder to the Swingline Lender to fund the amount of such Xxxxxx’s participation interest in such Swingline Loans that such Xxxxxx failed to fund pursuant to this Section, until such amount has been purchased in full.

(5)

[Reserved].

(6)

Obligations Absolute. The obligations of the Borrower to reimburse L/C Disbursements as provided in paragraph (8) of this Section 2.05 will be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and will be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of:

(a)

any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein or herein;

(b)

any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

104

(d)

any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.05, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder.

(7)

Limited Liability. None of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, any Issuing Bank, or any of their Related Parties, will have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit by the respective Issuing Bank or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms, or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of such Issuing Bank, the use that may be made of any Letter of Credit or any acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee in connection therewith; or any of the circumstances referred to in clauses (a), (b) or (c) of Section 2.05(6); provided that the foregoing will not be construed to excuse the applicable Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive, damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable Law) suffered by the Borrower that are determined by a final and binding decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have been caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank, such Issuing Bank will be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(8)

Disbursement Procedures. The applicable Issuing Bank shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make a L/C Disbursement thereunder; provided that such notice need not be given prior to payment by such Issuing Bank and any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to such L/C Disbursement. The Borrower shall be irrevocably and unconditionally obligated to reimburse each Issuing Bank for any L/C Disbursements paid by such Issuing Bank in respect of such drawing, without presentment, demand or other formalities of any kind. Unless the Borrower shall have notified the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 a.m. on the Business Day immediately

105

prior to the date on which such drawing is honored that the Borrower intends to reimburse such Issuing Bank for the amount of such drawing in funds other than from the proceeds of Revolving Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to have timely given a Borrowing Request to the Administrative Agent requesting the Lenders to make an ABR Borrowing on the date on which such drawing is honored in an exact amount due to such Issuing Bank; provided that for purposes solely of such Borrowing, the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 shall not be applicable. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of such Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.03, and each Lender shall make the proceeds of its ABR Loan included in such Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank in accordance with Section 2.06. The proceeds of such Borrowing shall be applied directly by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for such L/C Disbursement.

(9)

Interim Interest. If an Issuing Bank for any Letter of Credit makes any L/C Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower reimburses such L/C Disbursement in full on the date such L/C Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof will bear interest, for each day from and including the date such L/C Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such L/C Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans and such interest shall be due and payable on the date when such reimbursement is made; provided that, if such L/C Disbursement is not reimbursed by the Borrower when due pursuant to paragraph (8) of this Section 2.05, then Section 2.13(3) will apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph will be for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Lender pursuant to paragraph (8) of this Section 2.05 to reimburse such Issuing Bank will be for the account of such Revolving Lender to the extent of such payment.

(10)

Replacement of an Issuing Bank. An Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement between the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent will notify the Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement becomes effective, the Borrower will pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12. From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (a) the successor Issuing Bank will have all the rights and obligations of the replaced Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued by it thereafter and (b) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” will be deemed to include such successor or any previous Issuing Bank, or such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context will require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank will remain a party hereto and will continue to have all the rights and obligations of such Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement but will not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

106

(11)

Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph (11), the Borrower will deposit in an account with or at the direction of the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders, an amount in cash to be agreed between the Borrower and each applicable Issuing Bank (but in any event not to exceed 105% of the Revolving L/C Exposure as of such date); provided that upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in Section 8.01(8) or (9), the obligation to deposit such cash collateral will become effective immediately, and such deposit will become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind. Each such deposit pursuant to this paragraph will be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent will have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments will be made at the option and sole discretion of (i) for so long as an Event of Default is continuing, the Administrative Agent and (ii) at any other time, the Borrower, in each case, in Cash Equivalents and at the risk and expense of the Borrower, such deposits will not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments will accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account will be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse each Issuing Bank for L/C Disbursements for which such Issuing Bank has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, will be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the Revolving L/C Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of the Required Lenders, be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) will be returned to the Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

(12)

Additional Issuing Banks. From time to time, the Borrower may, by notice to the Administrative Agent, designate any Lender (in addition to Truist Bank, JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A. and Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association) to act as an Issuing Bank; provided that such Lender agrees in its sole discretion to act as such and such Lender is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent as an Issuing Bank (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). Each such additional Issuing Bank will execute a counterpart of this Agreement and will thereafter be an Issuing Bank hereunder for all purposes. The Borrower may, in its sole discretion, request a Letter of Credit issuance from any Issuing Bank.

(13)

Reporting. Upon the request of any Lender, but no more frequently than quarterly, each Issuing Bank shall deliver (through the Administrative Agent) to each Lender and the Borrower a report describing the aggregate Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank that are then outstanding. Upon the request of any Lender from time to time, the applicable Issuing Bank shall deliver to such Lender any other information reasonably requested by such Lender with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank then outstanding.

107

(14)

Reallocation. If the Maturity Date in respect of any tranche of Revolving Facility Commitments occurs prior to the expiration of any Letter of Credit, then (i) if one or more other tranches of Revolving Facility Commitments in respect of which the Maturity Date shall not have occurred are then in effect, such Letters of Credit shall automatically be deemed to have been issued (including for purposes of the obligations of the Revolving Lenders to purchase participations therein and to make Revolving Loans and payments in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.05(5)) under (and ratably participated in by Lenders pursuant to) the Revolving Facility Commitments in respect of such non-terminating tranches up to an aggregate amount not to exceed the aggregate principal amount of the unutilized Revolving Facility Commitments thereunder at such time (it being understood that no partial face amount of any Letter of Credit may be reallocated); provided, in no event shall such reallocation cause a Lender’s share of the Revolving Facility Commitment to exceed such Xxxxxx’s Commitment, and (ii) to the extent not reallocated pursuant to the immediately preceding clause (i), the Borrower shall cash collateralize any such Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 2.05(11). If, for any reason, such cash collateral is not provided or reallocation does not occur, the Revolving Lenders under the maturing tranche shall continue to be responsible for their participating interests in the Letters of Credit. Except to the extent of reallocations of participations pursuant to clause (i) of the second preceding sentence, the occurrence of a Maturity Date with respect to a given tranche of Revolving Facility Commitments shall have no effect upon (and shall not diminish) the percentage participations of the Revolving Lenders in any Letter of Credit issued before such Maturity Date. Commencing with the Maturity Date of any tranche of Revolving Facility Commitments, the sublimit for Letters of Credit shall be agreed with the Lenders under the extended tranches.

(15)

ISP/UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by an Issuing Bank and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued by such Issuing Bank and subject to applicable laws, (a) each Standby Letter of Credit shall be governed by the “International Standby Practices 1998” (ISP98) (or such later revision as may be published by the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice on any date any Letter of Credit may be issued) (the “ISP”), (b) each Trade Letter of Credit shall be governed by the Uniform Customs and Practices for Documentary Credits (2007 Revision), International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 600 (or such later revision as may be published by the International Chamber of Commerce on any date any Letter of Credit may be issued) (the “UCP”) and (c) the Borrower shall specify the foregoing in each letter of credit application submitted for the issuance of a Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Issuing Bank shall be responsible to the Borrower for, and such Issuing Bank’s rights and remedies against the Borrower shall not be impaired by, any action or inaction of such Issuing Bank required or permitted under any law, order, or practice that is required or permitted to be applied to any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, including the laws or any order of a jurisdiction where such Issuing Bank or the beneficiary is located, the practice

108

stated in the ISP or UCP, as applicable, or in the decisions, opinions, practice statements, or official commentary of the International Chamber of Commerce Banking Commission, the Bankers Association for Finance and Trade (BAFT), or the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice, whether or not any Letter of Credit chooses such Laws or practice rules.

Section 2.06 Funding of Borrowings.

(1)

Each Lender will make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 10:00 a.m., New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders; provided that (a) same-day ABR Loans will be made by each Lender on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 3:00 p.m., New York City time and (b) Swingline Loans will be made as set forth in Section 2.04. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower as specified in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that ABR Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an L/C Disbursement and reimbursements as provided in Section 2.05(5) will be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank.

(2)

Unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Xxxxxx’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (1) of this Section 2.06 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 Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand (without duplication) 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) in the case of such Lender, the greater of (i) the Federal Funds Rate and (ii) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (b) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans at such time. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent then such amount will constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

Section 2.07 Interest Elections.

(1)

Each Borrowing initially will be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a SOFR Revolving Facility Borrowing, will have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a SOFR Revolving Facility Borrowing, may

109

elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section 2.07. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion will be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion will be considered a separate Borrowing.

(2)

To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.07 following the Closing Date, the Borrower will notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone (a) in the case of an election to convert to or continue a SOFR Revolving Facility Borrowing, not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of such election or (b) in the case of an election to convert to or continue an ABR Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on such election date (which shall be a Business Day) (or in each case at such later date or time as the Administrative Agent may agree). Each such telephonic Interest Election Request will be confirmed promptly by hand delivery, facsimile transmission or e-mail to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request substantially in the form of Exhibit E and signed by the Borrower.

(3)

(a) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request will be irrevocable and will specify the following information:

(i)

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

(ii)

the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which will be a Business Day;

(iii)

whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a SOFR Revolving Facility Borrowing; and

(iv)

if the resulting Borrowing is a SOFR Revolving Facility Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which will be a period contemplated by the definition of “Interest Period.”

(b)

If any such Interest Election Request requests a SOFR Revolving Facility Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower will be deemed to have selected a SOFR Revolving Facility Borrowing having an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

(4)

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

110

(5)

If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a SOFR Revolving Facility Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period, such Borrowing will be automatically converted into or continued as an ABR Borrowing.

(6)

Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the written request (including a request through electronic means) of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing, (a) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a SOFR Revolving Facility Borrowing and (b) unless repaid, each SOFR Revolving Facility Borrowing will be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

Section 2.08 Termination and Reduction of Commitments.

(1)

Unless previously terminated, the Commitments will terminate on the Maturity Date.

(2)

The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Revolving Facility Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction of the Revolving Facility Commitments will be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than $1.0 million (or, if less, the remaining amount of the applicable Revolving Facility Commitments) and (ii) the Borrower will not terminate or reduce the Revolving Facility Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.11, the Revolving Facility Credit Exposure would exceed the lesser of the total Revolving Facility Commitments and the Borrowing Base.

(3)

The Borrower will notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Revolving Facility Commitments under paragraph (2) of this Section 2.08 at least three Business Days prior to the date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the date thereof (or at such later date or time as the Administrative Agent may agree). Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent will advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.08 will be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Revolving Facility Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is revocable or conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or a specified transaction, in which case such notice may be revoked or extended by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified termination date). Any termination or reduction of the Commitments will be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments will be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments.

111

Section 2.09 Promise to Pay; Evidence of Debt.

(1)

The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan and Swingline Loan on the Maturity Date.

(2)

Any Lender (including the Swingline Lender) may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a Note. In such event, the Borrower will prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a Note payable to such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Borrower.

(3)

The Administrative Agent will maintain accounts in which it will record (a) the amount of each Loan to the Borrower made hereunder, the Type thereof and the Interest Period (if any) applicable thereto, (b) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (c) any amount received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Xxxxxx’s share thereof. The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to this paragraph (3) will be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein will not in any manner affect the obligations of the Borrower to repay the Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Section 2.10 Optional Repayment of Loans.

(1)

The Borrower will have the right at any time and from time to time to repay any Loan in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (but subject to Section 2.16), in an aggregate principal amount, (a) in the case of SOFR Revolving Loans, that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $1.0 million, and (b) in the case of ABR Loans, that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $500,000, or, in each case, if less, the amount outstanding; provided that no portion of the principal of any Refinancing Term Loans may be prepaid prior to the Discharge of ABL Revolving Claims unless such prepayment is permitted under Section 6.11(1).

(2)

Prior to any repayment of any Revolving Loans, the Borrower will select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be repaid and will notify the Administrative Agent (and, in respect of Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender) by telephone (confirmed by hand delivery, facsimile transmission or e-mail) of such selection not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, (a) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, one Business Day before the anticipated date of such repayment, (b) in the case of a SOFR Revolving Facility Borrowing, three Business Days before the anticipated date of such repayment (or in each case, at such later date or time as the Administrative Agent may agree) and (c) in the case of any Swingline Borrowing, prior to 11:00 a.m. on the date of such prepayment. Each repayment of a Borrowing will be applied to the Revolving Loans included in the repaid Borrowing such that each Revolving Lender receives its ratable share of such repayment (based upon the respective Revolving Facility Credit Exposures of the Revolving Lenders at the time of such repayment). Repayments of SOFR Revolving Facility Borrowings will be accompanied by accrued interest on the amount repaid, together with any amounts due under Section 2.16.

112

Section 2.11 Mandatory Repayment of Loans.

(1)

Except for Overadvances permitted under Section 2.01, in the event the aggregate amount of the Revolving Facility Credit Exposure exceeds the Line Cap at such time, then the Borrower will within three (3) Business Days repay outstanding Revolving Loans, and, if there remains an excess after paying all Revolving Loans, cash collateralize Letters of Credit (in accordance with Section 2.05(11)) in an aggregate amount equal to such excess, in each case with no reduction in commitments.

(2)

In the event and on such occasion as the Revolving L/C Exposure exceeds the Letter of Credit Sublimit, the Borrower will within three (3) Business Days deposit cash collateral (in accordance with Section 2.05(11)) in an amount equal to such excess.

(3)

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Cash Dominion Period, all amounts in the Dominion Account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 5.11(2).

(2)

The Borrower agrees to pay to:

(a)

the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender, it being understood that at any time the Issuing Bank has Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, the L/C Participation Fee with respect to such Fronting Exposure will be payable to the Issuing Bank for its own account), a fee with respect to its participation in each outstanding Letter of Credit (an “L/C Participation Fee”) on the daily aggregate L/C Amount, which shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for SOFR Revolving Loans during the period

113

from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the earlier of the Maturity Date and any date on which the Commitments of all the Lenders are otherwise terminated as provided herein. Accrued L/C Participation Fees will be payable in arrears on the first (1^st) Business Day after the end of each fiscal quarter of the Borrower, commencing with the fiscal quarter of the Borrower ending on June 30, 2022 and on each Maturity Date and any date on which the Commitments of all the Lenders are terminated as provided herein.

(b)

each Issuing Bank, for its own account, (i) a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank at a rate per annum equal to the percentage separately agreed upon between the Borrower and such Issuing Bank (such rate per annum not to exceed 0.125%) on the daily L/C Amount with respect to such Letter of Credit, during the period from and including the date of issuance or extension (as applicable) of such Letter of Credit and to but excluding the date of termination of such Letter of Credit and (ii) such Issuing Bank’s customary issuance fees and customary documentary and processing fees and charges (collectively, “Issuing Bank Fees”). All L/C Participation Fees and Issuing Bank Fees that are payable in Dollars on a per annum basis will be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) in a year of 360 days. Issuing Bank Fees accrued will be payable in arrears on the first (1^st) Business Day after the end of each fiscal quarter of the Borrower, commencing with the fiscal quarter of the Borrower ending on June 30, 2022 and on each Maturity Date and any date on which the Commitments of all the Lenders are terminated as provided herein.

The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, the administrative agent’s fee in respect of the Revolving Facility set forth in the Fee Letter at the times and on the terms specified therein or in such other amounts and at such other times as may be separately agreed in writing by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower from time to time (the “Administrative Agent Fees”).

(4)

All Fees will be paid on the dates due and payable, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office for distribution, if and as appropriate, among the Lenders, except that Issuing Bank Fees will be paid directly to the applicable Issuing Banks. Once paid, none of the Fees will be refundable under any circumstances (except as expressly agreed between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, including pursuant to the Fee Letter).

The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing and any Swingline Loan will bear interest at the ABR plus the Applicable Margin.

114

(2)

The Loans comprising each SOFR Revolving Facility Borrowing will bear interest at Adjusted Term SOFR for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin.

(3)

Following the occurrence and during the continuation of a Specified Event of Default, the Borrower will pay interest on overdue amounts hereunder at a rate per annum equal to (a) in the case of overdue principal of, or interest on, any Loan, 2.0% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 2.13 or (b) in the case of any other overdue amount, 2.0% plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in clause (1) of this Section 2.13.

(4)

Accrued interest on each Loan will be payable by the Borrower in arrears (a) on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan; (b) on the applicable Maturity Date; and (c) upon termination of the Revolving Facility Commitments; provided that:

in the event of any conversion of any SOFR Revolving Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan will be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(5)

All interest hereunder will be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the ABR at times when the ABR is based on the prime rate will be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and, in each case, will be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable ABR, Adjusted Term SOFR or SOFR will be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination will be conclusive absent manifest error.

Section 2.14 Alternate Rate of Interest; Benchmark Replacement Setting.

(1)

Subject to paragraphs (2) through (6) of this Section 2.14, if prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a SOFR Revolving Facility Borrowing:

(a)

the Administrative Agent determines (which determination will be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining Adjusted Term SOFR or SOFR, as applicable, for such Interest Period; or

115

(b)

the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Revolving Lenders and the Required Term Lenders that Adjusted Term SOFR or SOFR, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone, facsimile transmission or e-mail as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any applicable Borrowing to, or continuation of any such Borrowing as, a SOFR Revolving Facility Borrowing will be ineffective and such Borrowing will be converted to or continued as on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto an ABR Borrowing, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a SOFR Revolving Facility Borrowing, such Borrowing will be made as an ABR Borrowing.

(2)

Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. If the Benchmark Replacement is Daily Simple SOFR, all interest payments will be payable on a quarterly basis.

(3)

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 Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

116

(4)

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 notify the Borrower of (x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 2.14(5) and (y) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. 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 sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.14.

(5)

Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Xxxxxxxxx has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will be not be representative, 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 or non-representative 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 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.

(6)

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 SOFR Revolving Facility Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Revolving 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 ABR Loans. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of ABR based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of ABR.

117

Section 2.15 Increased Costs.

(1)

If any Change in Law:

(a)

imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or Issuing Bank;

(b)

imposes on any Lender or Issuing Bank any condition (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or SOFR Revolving Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; or

(c)

subjects any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (i) Indemnified Taxes and (ii) Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments or other obligations, or deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any SOFR Revolving Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(2)

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

(3)

A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (1) or (2) of this Section 2.15 will be delivered to the Borrower and will be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower will pay such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten days after receipt thereof.

118

(4)

Promptly after any Lender or any Issuing Bank has determined that it will make a request for increased compensation pursuant to this Section 2.15, such Lender or Issuing Bank will notify the Borrower thereof. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.15 will not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower will not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 2.15 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above will be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

Section 2.16 Break Funding Payments. Except as otherwise set forth herein, the Borrower will compensate each Lender for the actual out-of-pocket loss, cost and expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits) attributable to the following events:

(1)

the payment of any principal of any SOFR Revolving Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default);

(2)

the conversion of any SOFR Revolving Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto;

(3)

the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any SOFR Revolving Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto; or

(4)

the assignment of any SOFR Revolving Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19.

A certificate of any Lender setting forth in reasonable detail any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.16 will be delivered to the Borrower and will be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower will pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten days after receipt thereof.

Section 2.17 Taxes.

(1)

Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder will be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes; provided that if a Loan Party is required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes from such payments, then (a) the sum payable will be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.17) the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as applicable, receives an amount equal to the amount it would have received had no such deductions been made; (b) such Loan Party will make such deductions; and (c) such Loan Party will timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

119

(2)

In addition, the Loan Parties will pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(3)

Each Loan Party will, jointly and severally, indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within ten days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender (other than as a result of the Administrative Agent’s or any Xxxxxx’s gross negligence or willful misconduct) on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of such Loan Party hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.17) and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to such Loan Party by a Lender, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, will be conclusive absent manifest error.

(4)

As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes by a Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, such Loan Party will 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)

(a) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document will deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, will deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 2.17(5)(b), 2.17(5)(c) and 2.17(6) below) will not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(b)

~~(a)~~ Without limiting the effect of Section 2.17(5)(a) above, each Foreign Lender will deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), two original copies of whichever of the following is applicable:

120

(i)

in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States of America is a party, (A) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (B) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(ii)

duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto);

(iii)

(iv)

to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the Beneficial Owner, executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, accompanied by Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 or Exhibit F-3, Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each Beneficial Owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; or

(v)

any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

121

In addition, in each of the foregoing circumstances, each Foreign Lender will deliver such forms, if legally entitled to deliver such forms, promptly upon the obsolescence, expiration or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Foreign Lender. Each Foreign Lender will promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Borrower (or any other form of certification adopted by the United States of America or other taxing authorities for such purpose). In addition, each Lender that is not a Foreign Lender will deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto) on or before the date such Xxxxxx becomes a party and upon the expiration of any form previously delivered by such Xxxxxx. Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Lender will not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph (5) that such Lender is not legally able to deliver;

(c)

~~(b)~~ Truist Bank in its capacity as the Administrative Agent (and any Person succeeding the Administrative Agent upon assignment or succession under Section 9.09, if applicable) will also deliver, to the Borrower, on or prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, (i) two duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service form W-9 with respect to any amounts payable to Truist Bank for its own account (or other withholding certification as appropriate) and (ii) if applicable, two duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY certifying that it is a “U.S. branch” and that the payments it receives for the account of others are not effectively connected with the conduct of its trade or business in the United States and that it is using such form as evidence of its agreement with the Borrower to be treated as a United States person with respect to such payments, with the effect that the Borrower can make payments to Truist Bank (acting as the Administrative Agent) without deduction or withholding of any taxes imposed by the United States.

(6)

If a payment made to a Recipient under any Loan Document would be subject to a Tax imposed by FATCA if such Recipient were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Recipient will deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with

122

their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Recipient has complied with such Recipient’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (6), “FATCA” will include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it will update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(7)

If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund (including a credit in lieu of a refund) of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Loan Party or with respect to which such Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17, it will pay over reasonably promptly such refund to such Loan Party (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Loan Party under this Section 2.17 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender (including any Taxes imposed with respect to such refund) as is determined by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in good faith, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that such Loan Party, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Xxxxxx, agrees to repay as soon as reasonably practicable the amount paid over to such Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section 2.17(7) will not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems, in good faith, to be confidential) to the Loan Parties or any other Person.

(8)

Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.17 will survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

(9)

For purposes of this Section 2.17, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA and the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Bank.

Unless otherwise specified, the Borrower will make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees, reimbursement of L/C Disbursements or otherwise) prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time, at the Payment Office, except payments to be made directly to the applicable Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that (unless the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Persons otherwise agree) payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 10.05 will be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto, on the date when due. All payments shall be in immediately available funds, without condition or deduction for any defense, recoupment, set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. The Administrative Agent will distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof and will make settlements with the Lenders with respect to other payments at the times and in the manner provided in this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided herein, if any payment hereunder is due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment will be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon will be payable for the period of such extension. Any payment required to be made by the Administrative Agent hereunder will be deemed to have been made by the time required if the Administrative Agent, at or before such time, has taken the necessary steps to make such payment in accordance with the regulations or operating procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by the Administrative Agent to make such payment.

(2)

[Reserved].

(3)

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, if (a) at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent from the Borrower to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed L/C Disbursements, interest and fees and other Obligations then due from the Borrower hereunder or (b) at any time during a Cash Dominion Period (including in connection with any termination of the Revolving Facility Commitments pursuant to Section 8.01) and the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent receives proceeds of Collateral, such funds will be applied,

(i)

first, toward payment of any expenses, fees and indemnities due to the Agents, Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank hereunder;

(ii)

second, toward payment of unreimbursed L/C Disbursements, Protective Advances, Overadvances and the principal amount of any Swingline Loans then due from the Borrower hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of unreimbursed L/C Disbursements, Protective Advances, Overadvances and principal amount of Swingline Loans then due to such parties;

124

(iii)

third, toward payment of interest and fees then due from the Borrower hereunder with respect to any Revolving Facility Credit Exposure, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties;

(iv)

fourth, on a ratable basis, toward (a) payment of other principal then due from the Borrower hereunder with respect to any Revolving Facility Credit Exposure, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of such principal then due to such parties and (b) payment of Specified Hedge Obligations up to the amount of Specified Pari Hedge Amount existing therefor, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of such Specified Hedge Obligations then due to such parties;

(v)

(vi)

sixth, to pay any other Obligations (excluding any (x) Obligations with respect to Refinancing Term Loans, (y) Cash Management Obligations or (z) Specified Hedge Obligations) ratably among the parties thereto in accordance with such amounts so owed them;

(vii)

seventh, to payment of other Specified Hedge Obligations then due from the Borrower or any Subsidiary Loan Party, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of Specified Hedge Obligations then due to such parties;

(viii)

eighth, to payment of Cash Management Obligations of the Borrower or any Subsidiary Loan Party then due from the Borrower or such Subsidiary Loan Party, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of such Cash Management Obligations then due to such parties;

(ix)

ninth, to payment of all other Obligations (other than those relating to Refinancing Term Loans) of the Borrower then due and payable, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of such Obligations then due to such parties;

(x)

tenth, toward payment of interest then due from the Borrower hereunder with respect to the Refinancing Term Loans, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest then due to such parties;

provided that the application of such proceeds at all times will be subject to the application of proceeds provisions contained in any applicable Intercreditor Agreement.

(4)

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and subject to express priorities set forth in Section 2.18(3) above, if any Lender, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtains payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Revolving Loans or participations in L/C Disbursements resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Revolving Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion will purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Revolving Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments will be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Revolving Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements; provided that (a) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations will be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (b) the provisions of this paragraph (4) will not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Revolving Loans or participations in L/C Disbursements to any assignee or participant other than to the Borrower or any other Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph (4) apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(5)

Subject to the priorities set forth in Section 2.18(3) above, if any Lender, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtains payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Refinancing Term Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Refinancing Term Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion will purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Refinancing Term Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments will be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Refinancing Term

126

Loans; provided that (a) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations will be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (b) the provisions of this paragraph (5) will not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Refinancing Term Loans to any assignee or participant other than to the Borrower or any other Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph (5) apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(6)

Unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank 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 to the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank, as applicable, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank, as applicable, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the ~~Federal Funds~~NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(7)

If any Lender fails to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.05(4) or (5), 2.06(2) or 2.18(6), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

Section 2.19 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(1)

If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender will use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (a) would eliminate or reduce amounts

127

payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17, as applicable, in the future and (b) would not subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in any material respect. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(2)

If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15 or is a Defaulting Lender, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that assumes such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (a) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, to the extent the consent of such Person would be required under Section 10.04 for an assignment of Loans or Commitments to such Person, (b) such Lender has received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and funded participations in L/C Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and (c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. No action by or consent of the Defaulting Lender will be necessary in connection with such removal or assignment. In connection with any such assignment, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Defaulting Lender and the replacement Lender will otherwise comply with Section 10.04; provided that if such Defaulting Lender does not comply with Section 10.04 within three Business Days after the Administrative Agent’s or the Borrower’s request, compliance with Section 10.04 will not be required to effect such assignment. Nothing in this Section 2.19 will be deemed to prejudice any rights that the Borrower may have against any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender.

(3)

If any Lender (such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”) has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination that, pursuant to the terms of Section 10.08, requires the consent of such Lender and with respect to which the Required Lenders have granted their consent, then the Borrower will have the right (unless such Non-Consenting Lender grants such consent) at its sole expense, to replace such Non-Consenting Lender by deeming such Non-Consenting Lender to have assigned its Loans and its Commitments hereunder to one or more assignees reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank to the extent the consent of such Person would be required under Section 10.04 for an assignment of Loans or Commitments to such Person; provided that (a) all Obligations of the Borrower owing to such Non-Consenting Lender (including ~~accrued Fees and~~ any amounts due under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17) being removed or replaced will be paid in full to such Non-Consenting Lender

128

concurrently with such assignment and (b) such Non-Consenting Lender will have received payment of an amount equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon. No action by or consent of the Non-Consenting Lender will be necessary in connection with such removal or assignment, which will be immediately and automatically effective upon payment of such purchase price. In connection with any such assignment, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, such Non-Consenting Lender and the replacement Lender will otherwise comply with Section 10.04; provided that if such Non-Consenting Lender does not comply with Section 10.04 within three Business Days after the Administrative Agent’s or the Borrower’s request therefor, compliance with Section 10.04 will not be required to effect such assignment.

Section 2.20 Illegality. If any Lender reasonably determines that any change in law has made it unlawful, or if any Governmental Authority has asserted after the ~~Closing~~Amendment No. 1 Effective Date that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make or maintain any SOFR Revolving Loans, then, upon notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligations of such Lender to make or continue SOFR Revolving Loans or to convert ABR Borrowings to SOFR Revolving Facility Borrowings will be suspended until such Lexxxx xotifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower will upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), either convert all SOFR Revolving Facility Borrowings of such Lender to ABR Borrowings, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Revolving Facility Borrowings to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower will also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

Section 2.21 Incremental Facilities.

(1)

Notice. At any time and from time to time, on one or more occasions, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may, by notice to the Administrative Agent, increase the Revolving Facility Commitments (each such increase, an “Incremental Revolving Facility Increase” or “Incremental Facility”, and such additional Revolving Facility Commitments, the “Incremental Commitments”).

(2)

Ranking. Any Incremental Commitments will (a) rank pari passu in right of payment with the Revolving Facility Claims and (b) be secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with the Revolving Facility Claims.

(3)

Size. The principal amount of commitments in respect of Incremental Revolving Facility Increases received pursuant to this Section 2.21 will not exceed, in the aggregate, an amount equal to the greater of (a) $150,000,000 and (b) on the date of any such increase, the amount by which the Borrowing Base in effect at such time exceeds the aggregate Revolving Facility Commitments at such time (which shall not be a negative number).

129

Each Incremental Revolving Facility Increase received pursuant to this Section 2.21 will be in an integral multiple of $1.0 million and in a minimum aggregate principal amount of $10.0 million (or such lesser minimum amount approved by the Administrative Agent); provided that such amount may be less than such minimum amount or integral multiple amount without the Administrative Agent’s consent if such amount represents all of the remaining availability in respect of Incremental Revolving Facility Increases available pursuant to this Section 2.21 at such time.

(4)

Incremental Lenders. Incremental Facilities may be provided by any existing Lender (it being understood that no existing Lender will have an obligation to provide any Incremental Facility), or any Additional Lender (collectively, the “Incremental Lenders”); provided that the Administrative Agent, Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank at the time of effectiveness of such Incremental Facility shall have consented (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) to any Additional Lender’s provision of such Incremental Facility if such consent by such Person would be required under Section 10.04 for an assignment of Commitments or Loans to such Additional Lender. The existing Lenders will not have any right to participate in any arrangement of, and will not have any right of first refusal or other right to provide all or any portion of, any Incremental Facility except to the extent the Borrower and the arrangers thereof, if any, in their discretion, choose to invite or include any such existing Lender (which may or may not apply to all existing Lenders and may or may not be pro rata among existing Lenders). Final allocations in respect of any Incremental Facilities will be made by the Borrower together with the arrangers thereof, if any, in their discretion, in accordance with this Section 2.21.

(5)

Incremental Facility Amendments; Use of Proceeds. Each Incremental Facility will become effective pursuant to an amendment (which may, at the option of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, be in the form of an amendment and restatement) (each, an “Incremental Facility Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and, with respect to any amendment (or amendment and restatement) of this Agreement, each Incremental Lender providing such Incremental Facility. Incremental Facility Amendments may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.21. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Incremental Facility Amendment. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Facility Amendment, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as applicable, will be deemed amended (or amended and restated) to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Incremental Facility evidenced thereby. This Section 2.21 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.18 or 10.08 to the contrary. The Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries may use the proceeds of the Incremental Facility for any purpose not prohibited by this Agreement.

130

(6)

Conditions. The initial availability of any Incremental Facility will be subject solely to the following conditions, subject, for the avoidance of doubt, to Section 1.09, measured on the date of the initial incurrence under (or, as applicable, pursuant to Section 1.09, receipt of commitments with respect to) any such Incremental Facility:

(a)

no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date such Incremental Facility is incurred or would exist immediately after giving effect thereto; provided that the condition set forth in this clause (a) may be waived or not required (other than with respect to any Specified Event of Default) by the Persons providing such Incremental Facility in connection with a Permitted Acquisition or other Investment permitted hereunder;

(b)

the representations and warranties in the Loan Documents will be true and correct in all material respects (except for representations and warranties that are already qualified by materiality, which representations and warranties will be accurate in all respects) immediately prior to, and immediately after giving effect to, the incurrence of such Incremental Facility; provided that the condition set forth in this clause (b) may be waived or not required (other than with respect to the Specified Representations) in connection with a Permitted Acquisition or other Investment permitted hereunder; and

(c)

such other conditions (if any) as may be required by the Incremental Lenders providing such Incremental Facility, unless such other conditions are waived by such Incremental Lenders.

(7)

Terms. Any Incremental Facility will be on the terms set forth in the Loan Documents, as amended by the applicable Incremental Facility Amendment; provided that (a) any Incremental Commitments will (x) rank pari passu in right of payment with the Revolving Facility Claims (except with respect to the proceeds of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness or Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness), (y) be secured by Collateral on a pari passu basis with the Revolving Facility Claims and (z) be on terms and pursuant to documentation applicable to the Revolving Facility Commitments and will form a part of the existing Revolving Facility; provided that Applicable Margin and Applicable Commitment Fees, in each case, applicable to Revolving Facility Commitments and the Revolving Loans may be increased without the consent of any Lender, in connection with the incurrence of any Incremental Commitments such that the Applicable Margin and the Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage of the Revolving Facility Commitments are identical to those of any Incremental Commitments; provided, further, that any commitment, arrangement, upfront or similar fees for such Incremental Commitments will be as determined by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower and the lenders providing such Incremental Commitments and (b) no Incremental Commitments may mature prior to the Maturity Date with respect to the Revolving Facility Commitments existing on the ~~Closing~~Amendment No. 1 Effective Date.

131

(8)

Reallocation. Upon each Incremental Revolving Facility Increase in accordance with this Section 2.21:

(a)

each Revolving Lender immediately prior to such increase will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each Incremental Lender providing a portion of such increase, and each such Incremental Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed a portion of such Revolving Lexxxx’s participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans such that, after giving effect to each such deemed assignment and assumption of participations, the percentage of the aggregate outstanding participations hereunder in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans held by each Revolving Lender will equal the percentage of the aggregate Revolving Facility Commitments of all Lenders represented by such Lexxxx’s Revolving Facility Commitment; and

(b)

the Administrative Agent may, in consultation with the Borrower, take any and all actions as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that, after giving effect to such Lender’s Incremental Commitments, the percentage of the aggregate Revolving Facility Commitments held by each Lender (including each such Incremental Lender) will equal the percentage of the aggregate Revolving Facility Commitments of all Lenders represented by such Lender’s Revolving Facility Commitment, which may be accomplished, at the discretion of the Administrative Agent following consultation with the Borrower, by:

(i)

requiring any outstanding Loans to be prepaid with the proceeds of a new Borrowing;

(ii)

causing non-increasing Lenders to assign portions of their outstanding Loans to Incremental Revolving Lenders; or

(iii)

a combination of the foregoing.

Section 2.22 Refinancing Amendments.

(1)

Refinancing Term Loans. At any time after the ~~Closing~~Amendment No. 1 Effective Date, the Borrower may obtain from any Lender or any Additional Lender, at its election, Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness in the form of term loans under a new term loan facility hereunder (“Refinancing Term Loans”) pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment. All Refinancing Term Loans shall be secured on a pari passu basis with the Revolving Facility Claims; provided that (a) any payments in respect thereof shall be subordinated as required by this Agreement, including (without limitation) as set forth in Section 2.18(3) and (b) such Refinancing Term Loans shall be subject to the FILO Intercreditor Provisions.

132

(2)

Refinancing Amendments. The effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment will be subject only to the satisfaction on the date thereof of such of the conditions as may be requested by the providers of the Refinancing Term Loans. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Refinancing Amendment. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, this Agreement will be deemed amended (or amended and restated, as applicable) to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Refinancing Term Loans incurred pursuant thereto (including any amendments necessary to treat the term loans subject thereto as Refinancing Term Loans).

(3)

Required Consents. Any Refinancing Amendment may, without the consent of any Person other than the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders or Additional Lenders providing the applicable Refinancing Term Loans, effect such amendments (or amendments and restatements) to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.22. This Section 2.22 supersedes any provisions in Section 10.08 to the contrary. The transactions contemplated by this Section 2.22 will not require the consent of any other Lender or any other Person, and the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including Sections 2.11 and 2.18) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any transaction contemplated by this Section 2.22 will not apply to any of the transactions effected pursuant to this Section 2.22.

(4)

Providers of Refinancing Term Loans. Refinancing Term Loans may be provided by any existing Lender (it being understood that no existing Lender shall have an obligation to make all or any portion of any Refinancing Term Loan) or by any Additional Lender. It is understood that any Lender approached to provide all or a portion of Refinancing Term Loans may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such Refinancing Term Loans (it being understood that there is no obligation to approach any existing Lenders to provide any Refinancing Term Loans).

Section 2.23 Extensions of Loans and Revolving Commitments.

(1)

Extension Offers. Pursuant to one or more offers (each, an “Extension Offer”) made from time to time by the Borrower to all Lenders of Revolving Loans or all Refinancing Term Lenders (and with respect to any Extension Offer each Lender may, in its sole discretion, choose whether to accept or reject such Extension Offer), with a like Maturity Date, the Borrower may extend the Maturity Date of each such Lender’s Loans or Revolving Facility Commitments and otherwise modify the terms of such Loans or Revolving Facility Commitments pursuant to the terms of the relevant Extension Offer, including by increasing the interest rate or fees payable in respect to such Revolving Facility Commitments (each, an “Extension,” and each group of Loans or Revolving Facility Commitments so extended, as well as the original Loans or Revolving Facility Commitments not so extended, being a “tranche”). Each Extension Offer will specify the minimum amount of Revolving Facility Commitments with respect to which an Extension Offer may be accepted, which will be an integral multiple of $1.0 million and an aggregate principal

133

amount that is not less than $10.0 million (or (a) if less, the aggregate principal amount of such Revolving Facility Commitments or (b) such lesser minimum amount as is approved by the Administrative Agent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and will be made on a pro rata basis to all Lenders having Revolving Facility Commitments with a like Maturity Date. If the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Loans and Revolving Facility Commitments (calculated on the face amount thereof) in respect of which Lenders have accepted an Extension Offer exceeds the maximum aggregate principal amount of Loans and Revolving Facility Commitments offered to be extended pursuant to an Extension Offer, then the Loans and Revolving Facility Commitments of such Lenders will be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the Revolving Facility Commitments of or the principal amounts (but not to exceed actual holdings of record) with respect to which the Lenders that have accepted such Extension Offer. There is no requirement that any Extension Offer or Extension Amendment (defined as follows) be subject to any “most favored nation” pricing provisions. The terms of an Extension Offer will be determined by the Borrower and an Extension Offer may contain one or more conditions to its effectiveness, including that a minimum amount of Loans or Revolving Facility Commitments or any or all applicable tranches be tendered.

(2)

Extension Amendments. The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (which may, at the option of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, be in the form of an amendment and restatement of this Agreement or such Loan Document, as applicable) (an “Extension Amendment”) with the Borrower as may be necessary in order to establish new tranches in respect of Extended Commitments (and related Extended Loans) and such amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in connection with the establishment of such new tranches, in each case, on terms consistent with this Section 2.23. This Section 2.23 supersedes any provisions in Section 2.18 or 10.08 to the contrary. Except as otherwise set forth in an Extension Offer, there will be no conditions to the effectiveness of an Extension Amendment. Extensions will not constitute a voluntary or mandatory payment or prepayment for purposes of this Agreement.

(3)

Terms of Extension Offers and Extension Amendments. The terms of any Extended Commitments (and related Extended Loans) will be set forth in an Extension Offer and as agreed between the Borrower and the Extending Lenders accepting such Extension Offer; provided that:

(a)

the final maturity date of such Extended Loans will be no earlier than the Latest Maturity Date applicable to the Revolving Loans or Revolving Facility Commitments subject to such Extension Offer;

134

(b)

any Extended Loans or Revolving Facility Commitments may participate on a pro rata basis or less than pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis other than with respect to proceeds of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness or Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness) in mandatory prepayments of Loans or mandatory terminations of Revolving Facility Commitments;

(c)

such Extended Loans or Revolving Facility Commitments are not secured by any assets or property that does not constitute Collateral;

(d)

such Extended Loans or Revolving Facility Commitments are not guaranteed by any Person other than a Subsidiary Loan Party; and

(e)

the other terms and conditions applicable to the Extended Loans or Extended Commitments are ~~(i)~~ substantially identical to, or, taken as a whole, no more favorable to the lenders or holders providing such Extended Loans or Extended Commitments than those applicable to the Revolving Loans or Revolving Facility Commitments subject to such Extension Offer (except for covenants applicable only to periods after the Latest Maturity Date of the Revolving Loans or Revolving Facility Commitments subject to such Extension Offer) (provided that a certificate of a Responsible Officer delivered to the Administrative Agent at least four (4) Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior to the incurrence of such Extended Loans or Extended Commitments together with a reasonably detailed description of the material covenants and event of default of such Indebtedness or drafts of the documentation relating thereto, stating that the Borrower has determined in good faith that such terms and conditions satisfy the requirement of this clause (de) shall be conclusive evidence that such Indebtedness satisfies this clause (de) unless the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower within such four (4) Business Day (or shorter) period that it disagrees with such determination (including a description of the basis upon which it disagrees)); provided that this clause (de) will not apply to (vi) terms addressed in the preceding clauses (a) through (cd), (xii) interest rate, rate floors, fees, funding discounts and other pricing terms, (yiii) redemption, prepayment or other premiums, or (ziv) payment, optional prepayment or redemption terms.

Any Extended Loans will constitute a separate tranche of Loans from the Loans held by Lenders that did not accept the applicable Extension Offer and such Loans shall also be subject to the requirements set forth in Section 2.22 with regards to the terms and conditions applicable to Refinancing Term Loans.

(4)

Required Consents. No consent of any Lender or any other Person will be required to effectuate any Extension, other than the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), the Borrower and each Extending Lender participating in such Extension with respect to one or more of its Loans or Revolving Facility Commitments. The transactions contemplated by this Section 2.23 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Loans or Extended Commitments on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Offer)

135

will not require the consent of any other Lender or any other Person, and the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including Sections 2.18 and 10.08) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.23 will not apply to any of the transactions effected pursuant to this Section 2.23.

Section 2.24 Defaulting Lenders.

(1)

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

(a)

Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lexxxx’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement is restricted as set forth in Section 10.08.

(b)

Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise), will be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows:

(i)

first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder;

(ii)

second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender hereunder;

(iii)

third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by the Issuing Bank, to be held as cash collateral for future funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Letter of Credit;

(iv)

fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent;

(v)

fifth, 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 such Defaulting Lender to fund Revolving Loans under this Agreement;

136

(vi)

sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or any Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Issuing Banks or any Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement;

(vii)

seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Loan Parties as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Loan Parties against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and

(viii)

eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction;

provided that if such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Disbursements in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, such payment will be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Disbursements owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Lender. Any payments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.24(1)(b) will be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(c)

Certain Fees. Such Defaulting Lender (i) will not be entitled to receive any Commitment Fee pursuant to Section 2.12(1) or otherwise for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower will not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender) and (ii) will not be entitled to receive any L/C Participation Fee pursuant to Section 2.12(2) or otherwise for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (although the Borrower will be required to pay any such L/C Participation Fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender to the non-Defaulting Lenders or Issuing Banks, in accordance with (and to the extent of) any reallocation of Fronting Exposure to non-Defaulting Lenders or as may be retained by the Issuing Bank as cash collateral in accordance herewith, as the case may be).

(d)

Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure. During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.05 or Swingline Loans pursuant to Section 2.04, the Revolving Facility Percentage of each non-Defaulting Lender will be computed without giving effect to the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender; provided, that, each such reallocation will be given effect only to the extent such that the aggregate obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans, as applicable, will not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (i) the Revolving Facility Commitment of such non-Defaulting Lender minus (ii) the aggregate outstanding amount of the Revolving Loans of such Defaulting Lender.

137

(e)

Elimination of Remaining Fronting Exposure. At any time that there exists a Defaulting Lender and the reallocation described in clause (d) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, promptly upon the request of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Swingline Lender, the Borrower will (without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law) (i) first, prepay any Swingline Loans in an amount equal to the Swingline Lender’s Swingline Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender and (ii) second, deliver cash collateral in an amount to be agreed between the Borrower and each applicable Issuing Bank, but no greater than 105% of the outstanding amount of the applicable Letters of Credit to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.05(11) in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure of the Revolving Facility L/C Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.24(1)(d)) which will be held as security for the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower with respect to the Revolving Facility L/C Exposure.

(2)

Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Swingline Lender 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 (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Revolving Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Revolving Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Revolving Facility Percentages (without giving effect to Section 2.24(1)(d)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Xxxxxx’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(3)

Termination of Defaulting Lender. The Borrower may terminate the unused amount of the Commitment of any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender upon not less than three Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders thereof), and in such event the provisions of Section 2.24(1)(b) will apply to all amounts thereafter paid by the Borrower for the account

138

of such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity or other amounts); provided that such termination shall not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claims any Loan Party, any Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Swingline Lender or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.

(4)

New Swingline Loans. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Swingline Exposure after giving effect to such Swingline Loan.

At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Cash Dominion Period as to which the Administrative Agent has notified the Borrower, any cash or Cash Equivalents owned by the Borrower or any Subsidiary Loan Party are deposited to any account, held or invested in any manner, otherwise than in a Blocked Account subject to a Control Agreement (or a DDA which is swept daily to such Blocked Account), the Administrative Agent will be entitled to require the Borrower or any Subsidiary Loan Party to close such account and have all funds therein transferred to a Blocked Account;

provided that the foregoing will not apply to cash or Cash Equivalents constituting Term Priority Collateral required to be deposited in a blocked account in favor of the lenders under the Term Loan Credit Agreement pursuant to the terms of the Term Loan Credit Agreement; provided, further, that the foregoing will not apply to cash or Cash Equivalents deposited, held or invested in any of the following:

(4)

The Loan Parties may close DDAs or Blocked Accounts and/or open new DDAs or Blocked Accounts, subject to the execution and delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Control Agreement within one hundred twenty (120) days (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may agree) of opening any new DDA or Blocked Account, which Control Agreement (for the avoidance of doubt) will be subject to the first sentence of Section 5.11(2); provided that such new DDA or Blocked Account shall not be permitted to be funded until a Control Agreement in respect of such new DDA or Blocked Account has been executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent; provided, further, that the Loan Parties may close DDAs or Blocked Accounts or open new DDAs that are Excluded Accounts without executing or delivering any Control Agreement.

(5)

Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, so long as (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (ii) no Cash Dominion Period is then in effect, the Loan Parties will have full and complete access to, and may direct the manner of disposition of, funds in the Blocked Accounts.

(6)

Any amounts held or received in the Dominion Account (including all interest and other earnings with respect thereto, if any) at any time (i) after this Agreement and the Commitments have been terminated and the Obligations have been Paid in Full and all Letters of Credit have expired, terminated or been cash collateralized on terms satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank or (ii) when all Events of Default have been cured and no Cash Dominion Period is then in effect, in each case will be remitted to the Loan Parties as the Borrower may direct.

For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 6.01, in the event that an item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt or is entitled to be incurred (in whole or in part) as Ratio Debt, the Borrower may, in its sole discretion, at the time of incurrence, divide, classify or reclassify, or at any later time divide, classify or reclassify, such item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) in any manner that complies with this covenant at the time of incurrence or at such later time (as applicable); provided that all Indebtedness outstanding under the Loan Documents and the Term Loan Credit Agreement and any Permitted Refinancing thereof will be deemed to have been incurred in reliance on the exception in clauses (1) and (2), respectively, of the definition of “Permitted Debt” ~~and~~(or clause (24) as it relates thereto), and all Indebtedness outstanding under the Existing Term Loan Credit Agreement will be deemed to have been incurred in reliance on the exception in clause (3) of the definition of “Permitted Debt” (or clause (24) as it relates thereto), and such amounts shall not be permitted to be reclassified pursuant to this paragraph. All unsecured Permitted Debt originally incurred under clause (4), (11)(b), (19), (21) or, (28) or (29) of the definition of Permitted Debt (or clause (24) as it relates thereto) will be automatically reclassified as Ratio Debt on the first date on which such Indebtedness would have been permitted to be incurred as Ratio Debt. The accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value, amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest or dividends in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms (including any pay-in-kind interest) and increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies, will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this Section 6.01. The principal amount of any ~~non-interest bearing~~non-interest-bearing Indebtedness or other discount security constituting Indebtedness at any date will be the principal amount thereof that would be shown on a balance sheet of the Borrower dated such date prepared in accordance with GAAP. Guarantees of, or obligations in respect of letters of credit relating to Indebtedness that is otherwise included in the determination of a particular amount of Indebtedness will not be included in the determination of such amount of Indebtedness; provided that the incurrence of the Indebtedness represented by such Guarantee or letter of credit, as the case may be, was in compliance with this Section 6.01. Any incurrence of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness with respect to any Refinanced Debt that was incurred in reliance on a dollar or ratio basket (and not subsequently reclassified) shall not, for the avoidance of doubt, reload any such dollar or ratio based basket.

For purposes of determining compliance with any Dollar-denominated (or percentage of EBITDA, if greater) restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the Dollar equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a currency other than Dollars shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed or first incurred (whichever yields the lower Dollar equivalent), in the case of revolving credit debt; provided that if such Indebtedness is incurred to Refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a currency other than Dollars, and such refinancing would cause the applicable Dollar-denominated (or percentage of EBITDA, if greater) restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such Dollar-denominated (or percentage of EBITDA, if greater) restriction will be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced (plus unpaid accrued interest and premium (including tender premiums) thereon and underwriting discounts, defeasance costs, fees, commissions and expenses in connection therewith).

171

Any Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under this Section 6.01 may, at the option of the Borrower, be Convertible Indebtedness.

205

Section 8.02 Right to Cure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 8.01, in the event that the Borrower fails (or, but for the operation of this Section 8.02, would fail) to comply with the requirements of the Financial Performance Covenant, until the expiration of the tenth Business Day subsequent to the date the Required Financial Statements are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.04(1) or (2) for the applicable fiscal quarter, the Borrower shall have the right to issue Permitted Cure Securities for cash (provided that, if such Permitted Cure Securities are not in the form of common equity, the terms of such Permitted Cure Securities must be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) or otherwise receive cash contributions to the capital of the Borrower, and, in each case, to contribute any such cash to the capital of the Borrower (collectively, the “Cure Right”) and, upon the receipt by the Borrower of such cash (the “Cure Amount”) pursuant to the exercise by the Borrower of such Cure Right, the Financial Performance Covenant shall be recalculated giving effect to a pro forma adjustment by which Consolidated EBITDA shall be increased with respect to such applicable fiscal quarter and any Test Period that contains such quarter, solely for the purpose of measuring the Financial Performance Covenant and not for any other purpose under this Agreement, by an amount equal to the Cure Amount. The resulting increase to Consolidated EBITDA from the application of a Cure Amount shall not result in any adjustment to Consolidated EBITDA or any other financial definition for any purpose under this Agreement other than for purposes of calculating the Financial Performance Covenant and there shall be no pro forma or other reduction in Indebtedness from the application of a Cure Amount for purposes of calculating the Financial Performance Covenant unless such Cure Amount is actually applied to prepay Indebtedness. In each four fiscal quarter period there shall be at least two fiscal quarters in which the Cure Right is not exercised and the Cure Right may not be exercised more than five times during the term of this Agreement and, for purposes of this Section 8.02, the Cure Amount shall be no greater than the amount required for purposes of complying with the Financial Performance Covenant. If, after giving effect to the adjustments in this Section 8.02, the Borrower shall then be in compliance with the requirements of the Financial Performance Covenant, the Borrower shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of the Financial Performance Covenant as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable breach of the Financial Performance Covenant and any related default that had occurred shall be deemed cured for the purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Financial Performance Covenant, the Borrower shall not be able to request the making of any Loan or the issuance or renewal of any Letter of Credit until receipt by the Borrower of the Cure Amount.

ARTICLE IX

THE AGENTS

Section 9.01 Appointment.

(1)

Each Lender (in its capacities as a Lender and on behalf of itself and its Affiliates as potential counterparties to Hedge Agreements) and each Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the entity named as Administrative Agent in the heading of this Agreement and its permitted successors and assigns to serve as administrative agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as applicable, including as the Collateral Agent for such Lender and the other applicable Secured Parties under the applicable Security Documents, and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, in such capacities, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement

206

and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are delegated to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. In addition, to the extent required under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States, each of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Swingline Lenders hereby grants to the Administrative Agent any required powers of attorney to execute and enforce any Security Document governed by the laws of such jurisdiction on such Xxxxxx’s, Issuing Bank’s or Swingline Xxxxxx’s behalf. Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender, each Issuing Bank and each Swingline Lender authorizes the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, each of the Loan Documents to which the Administrative Agent is a party, to exercise all rights, powers and remedies that the Administrative Agent may have under such Loan Documents.

(2)

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent; additionally, each Lender, each Issuing Bank and each Swingline Lender agrees that it will not assert any claim against the Administrative Agent based on an alleged breach of fiduciary duty by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement and transactions contemplated hereby. To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective or for any other reason, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with all expenses (including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred. For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower shall not have liability for the actions of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.

(3)

In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, (a) the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise (i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of any or all of the Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents

207

as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks, the Swingline Lenders and the Agents and any Subagents allowed in such judicial proceeding and (ii) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same, and (b) any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender, Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Swingline Lenders to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents. 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, Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender, Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender, Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender in any such proceeding.

Section 9.02 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of the agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. The Administrative Agent may also from time to time, when the Administrative Agent deems it to be necessary or desirable, appoint one or more trustees, co-trustees, collateral co-agents, collateral subagents or attorneys-in-fact (each, a “Subagent”) with respect to all or any part of the Collateral; provided that no such Subagent shall be authorized to take any action with respect to any Collateral unless and except to the extent expressly authorized in writing by the Administrative Agent. Should any instrument in writing from the Borrower or any other Loan Party be reasonably required by any Subagent so appointed by the Administrative Agent to more fully or certainly vest in and confirm to such Subagent such rights, powers, privileges and duties, the Borrower shall, or shall cause such Loan Party to, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments promptly upon reasonable written request by the Administrative Agent. If any Subagent, or successor thereto, shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all rights, powers, privileges and duties of such Subagent, to the extent permitted by law, shall automatically vest in and be exercised by the Administrative Agent until the appointment of a new Subagent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent, attorney-in-fact or Subagent that it selects in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.02 in the absence of the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Section 9.03 Exculpatory Provisions. None of the Administrative Agent, its Affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or attorneys-in-fact shall be (1) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except to the extent that any of the

208

foregoing are found by a final and non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (2) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agents under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Loan Party to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Agents shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (b) the Administrative Agent shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into:

(i)

any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document;

(ii)

the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith;

(iii)

the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default;

(iv)

the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Security Documents;

(v)

the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral; or

(vi)

the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

Section 9.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) or conversation believed in good faith by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the

209

proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed in good faith by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to any Credit Event, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, Swingline Lender or any Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender, Swingline Lender or Issuing Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender, Swingline Lender or the Issuing Bank prior to such Borrowing. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (including counsel to 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. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all or other Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all or other Lenders), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.

Section 9.05 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all or other Lenders); provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

Section 9.06 Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any Affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their Affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based

210

on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their Affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any Affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

Section 9.07 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent, Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank, in each case in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), in the amount of its pro rata share (based on its aggregate Revolving Facility Credit Exposure and, in the case of the indemnification of each Agent, unused Commitments hereunder; provided that the aggregate principal amount of L/C Disbursements owing to any Issuing Bank shall be considered to be owed to the Revolving Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Revolving Facility Credit Exposure) (determined at the time such indemnity is sought), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent, Swingline Lender or such Issuing Bank in any way relating to or arising out of the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent, Swingline Lender or such Issuing Bank under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the Administrative Agent’s, Swingline Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The failure of any Lender to reimburse the Administrative Agent, Swingline Lender or any Issuing Bank, as the case may be, promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any amount required to be paid by the Lenders to the Administrative Agent, Swingline Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, as provided herein shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to reimburse the Administrative Agent, Swingline Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for its ratable share of such amount, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to reimburse the Administrative Agent, Swingline Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such other Xxxxxx’s ratable share of such amount. The agreements in this Section 9.07 shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

Section 9.08 Agent in Its Individual Capacity. Each Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from, and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party as though the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it and with respect to any Letter of Credit issued, or Letter of Credit participated in by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include each Agent in its individual capacity.

211

Section 9.09 Successor Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon thirty days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. Any such resignation by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall also constitute its resignation as Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx and an Issuing Bank, in which case the resigning Administrative Agent (x) shall not be required to issue any further Letters of Credit hereunder and (y) shall maintain all of its rights as Issuing Bank with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it prior to the date of such resignation. If the Administrative Agent resigns as the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Xxxxxxx shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless a Specified Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the reference to the resigning Administrative Agent means such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is 30 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation will nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Required Xxxxxxx will thereafter perform all the duties of such Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders, Swingline Lender and the Issuing Xxxxx appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall (unless a Specified Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 9.09 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 9.10 Arrangers; Co-Syndication Agents; Documentation Agent. None of the Arrangers, Co-Syndication Agents or Documentation Agent will have any duties, responsibilities or liabilities hereunder in their respective capacities as such.

Section 9.11 Collateral and Guaranty Matters.

(1)

Each of the Lenders (including in its capacity as a potential Qualified Counterparty or Cash Management Bank) and the other Secured Parties irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to be the agent for and representative of the Lenders with respect to the Collateral Agreement, the Collateral and the Security Documents, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto; provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall owe any fiduciary duty, duty of loyalty, duty of care, duty of disclosure or any other obligation whatsoever to any holder of any Cash Management Obligations or Specified Hedge Obligations.

212

(2)

Each Agent, each Lender and each other Secured Party agrees that:

(a)

Liens on any property granted to or held by an Agent in favor of any Secured Party under any Loan Document will be automatically released,

(i)

upon Payment in Full and the termination of the Commitments;

(ii)

at the time the property subject to such Lien is Disposed (or to be Disposed) as part of, or in connection with, any transfer permitted under the Loan Documents to any Person that is not (and is not required to be) a Loan Party,

(iii)

if the property subject to such Lien is owned by a Guarantor, upon release of such Guarantor from its obligations under the Collateral Agreement pursuant to clause (c) below;

(iv)

subject to Section 10.08, if the release of such Lien is approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders; or

(v)

upon such property becoming an Excluded Asset or Excluded Equity Interest.

(b)

it will release or subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 6.02(3);

(c)

if any Subsidiary Loan Party ceases to be a Subsidiary in a transaction permitted hereunder, is not a Material Subsidiary or as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder becomes an Excluded Subsidiary (in each case, as certified in writing by a Responsible Officer), and the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent in writing that it wishes such Guarantor to be released from its obligations under the Collateral Agreement and, upon request of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, provides the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent certifications that such Subsidiary Loan Party ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder, is not a Material Subsidiary or has become an Excluded Subsidiary (as applicable), it will release (or evidence the release) of (i) such Subsidiary Loan Party from its obligations under the Collateral Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) any Liens granted by such Subsidiary or Liens on the Equity Interests of such Subsidiary; and

213

(d)

the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent will exclusively exercise the rights and remedies under the Loan Documents, and neither the Lenders nor any other Secured Party will exercise such rights and remedies (other than the Required Lenders through the Administrative Agent); provided that the foregoing shall not preclude any Lender from exercising any right of set-off in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.06 or enforcing compliance with the provisions set forth in clauses (i) through (vi) of Section 10.08(2) or from exercising rights and remedies (other than the enforcement of Collateral) with respect to any payment default after the occurrence of the Maturity Date with respect to any Loans made by it or filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law.

Each Agent agrees that it will take such action and execute any such documents as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower in connection with any of the foregoing releases or any such subordination. Each of the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely exclusively on an officers certificate of the Borrower confirming that such release or subordination (as applicable) is permitted hereunder. Each Lender and each Secured Party irrevocably authorizes each Administrative Agent to take such action and execute any such document and consents to such reliance. No Agent will be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Collateral Agent’s Lien thereon, or contained in any certificate prepared or delivered by the Borrower or any Loan Party in connection with the Collateral or compliance with the terms set forth above or in a Loan Document, nor shall any Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.

Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Xxxxxxx will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Loan Party from its obligations under, the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, any execution and delivery of documents by any Agent pursuant to this Section 9.11 shall be without recourse to or warranty by such Agent and at the Borrower’s expense; and such documents shall be reasonably acceptable to such Agent and the Borrower.

(3)

Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, each Agent, each Lender and each Secured Party hereby agree that:

(a)

no Lender or other Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the Collateral Agreement or any other Loan Document, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder and under any of the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, for the benefit of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, and all powers, rights and remedies under the Security Documents may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Lenders in accordance with the terms thereof;

214

(b)

in the event of a foreclosure or similar enforcement action by the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition (including pursuant to Section 363(k), Section 1129(b)(2)(a)(ii) or otherwise of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code), the Collateral Agent (or any Lender, except with respect to a “credit bid” pursuant to Section 363(k), Section 1129(b)(2)(a)(ii) or otherwise of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code) may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition, and the Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of Lenders (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities), shall be entitled, upon instructions from the Required Lenders, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale or disposition, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such sale or other disposition;

(c)

no provision of any Loan Documents shall require the creation, perfection or maintenance of pledges of or security interests in, or the obtaining of title insurance or abstracts with respect to, any Excluded Assets, any Excluded Equity Interests and any other particular assets, if and for so long as, in the reasonable judgment of the Collateral Agent, the cost of creating, perfecting or maintaining such pledges or security interests in such other particular assets or obtaining title insurance or abstracts in respect of such other particular assets is excessive in view of the fair market value of such assets or the practical benefit to the Lenders afforded thereby as reasonably determined by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or with respect to matters relating primarily to the Term Priority Collateral, the Borrower and the Term Agent);

(d)

the Collateral Agent may grant extensions of time for the creation or perfection of security interests in or the obtaining of title insurance and surveys with respect to particular assets (including extensions beyond the Closing Date or Amendment No. 1 Effective Date, as applicable, for the creation or perfection of security interests in the assets of the Loan Parties on such date) where it reasonably determines, in consultation with the Borrower, that creation or perfection cannot be accomplished without undue effort or expense by the time or times at which it would otherwise be required by this Agreement or the Security Documents;

(e)

no actions required by the Laws of any non-U.S. jurisdiction shall be required in order to create any security interests in any assets or to perfect such security interests (including any ~~intellectual property registered~~Intellectual Property Rights in any non-U.S. jurisdiction) (it being understood that there shall be no security agreements or pledge agreements governed under the Laws of any non-U.S. jurisdiction);

215

(f)

no control agreements shall be required with respect to assets requiring perfection through control agreements or perfection by “control” (as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code); and

(g)

the provisions of Section 5.10(4) of this Agreement and Sections 4.01(4) and 4.01(6) of the Collateral Agreement shall supersede any other provision of a Loan Document to the contrary.

Section 9.14 Erroneous Payments.

(1)

If the Administrative Agent notifies a Lender, an Issuing Bank or a Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, an Issuing Bank or a Secured Party (any such Lender, Issuing Bank, Secured Party or other recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding paragraph (b)) that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender, Issuing Bank, Secured Party or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this paragraph (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(2)

Without limiting immediately preceding paragraph (a), each Lender, each Issuing Bank, each Secured Party, or any other Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, an Issuing Bank or any Secured Party, hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) in each case:

(a)

(A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and

220

(b)

such Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 9.14(2).

(3)

Each Lender, Issuing Bank and Secured Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under immediately preceding paragraph (a) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.

(4)

In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Administrative Agent in accordance with immediately preceding paragraph (a), from any Lender or Issuing Bank that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Administrative Agent’s notice to such Lender or Issuing Bank at any time, (i) such Lender or Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but not its Commitments) of the relevant Class with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance), and is hereby (together with the Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to a Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and such parties are participants) with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender or Issuing Bank shall deliver any promissory notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, (ii) the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender or assigning Issuing Bank shall cease to be a Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment,

221

excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender or assigning Issuing Bank, and (iv) the Administrative Agent may reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. The Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender or Issuing Bank shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender or Issuing Bank (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender or Issuing Bank and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In addition, each party hereto agrees that, except to the extent that the Administrative Agent has sold a Loan (or portion thereof) acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, the Administrative Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of the applicable Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party under the Loan Documents with respect to each Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”).

The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower or any other Loan Party for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.

(6)

To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 9.14 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender or Issuing Bank, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

222

Reports and other Borrower Materials may be made available to Lenders by posting them on the Platform, but Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for system failures or access issues that may occur from time to time. Each Lender agrees (a) that Reports are not intended to be comprehensive audits or examinations, and that Administrative Agent or any other Person performing an audit or examination will inspect only limited information and will rely significantly upon Borrowers’ books, records and representations; (b) that Administrative Agent makes no representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of any Borrower Materials and shall not be liable for any information contained in or omitted from any Borrower Materials; and (c) to keep all Borrower Materials confidential pursuant to Section 10.16.

(i)

the Borrower; provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if a Specified Event of Default with respect to the Borrower has occurred and is continuing; provided, further, that such consent shall be deemed to have been given if the Borrower has not responded within ten (10) Business Days after delivery of a written request therefor by the Administrative Agent; and

(i)

except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Xxxxxx’s Commitments or Loans, the amount of the Commitments or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $2,500,000, unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent; provided that (1) no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if a Specified Event of Default with respect to the Borrower has occurred and is continuing and (2) such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its Affiliates or Approved Funds (with simultaneous assignments to or by two or more Approved Funds being treated as one assignment for purposes of meeting the minimum assignment amount requirement), if any;

Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (4) of this Section 10.04 to the extent such participation would be permitted by such Section 10.04(4).

(d)

The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as the Administrative Agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount (and stated interest with respect thereto) of the Loans and Revolving L/C Exposure owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).

The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Issuing Bank and any Lender (but solely, in the case of a Lender, entries with respect to such Lender’s Loans) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. This clause (d) and Section 2.09 shall be construed so that all Refinancing Term Loans are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any related Treasury regulations (or any other relevant or successor provisions of the Code or of such Treasury regulations).

(e)

No assignment, whether or not evidenced by a promissory note, shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph (2)(e).

227

(3)

By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder and the Assignee thereunder shall be deemed to confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows:

(a)

such assigning Lender warrants that it is the legal and Beneficial Owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim and that its Revolving Facility Commitment, and the outstanding balances of its Revolving Loans, in each case, without giving effect to assignments thereof which have not become effective, are as set forth in such Assignment and Acceptance;

(b)

except as set forth in clause (a) above, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement, or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, or the financial condition of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary or the performance or observance by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary of any of its obligations under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto;

(c)

the Assignee represents and warrants that it is legally authorized to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance;

(d)

the Assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the most recent Required Financial Statements delivered pursuant to Section 5.04, and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance;

(e)

the Assignee will independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement;

(f)

the Assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and

228

(g)

the Assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

(4)

(a) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Administrative Agent or, subject to Section 10.04(8), the Borrower, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (other than any Disqualified Institution) (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the 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, Swingline Lender, the Issuing Bank and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.

Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that (A) such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to Section 10.04(1)(a) or clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v) or (vi) of the first proviso to Section 10.08(2) and (2) directly affects such Participant and (B) no other agreement with respect to amendment, modification or waiver may exist between such Lender and such Participant. Subject to clause (4)(b) of this Section 10.04, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 (in each case subject to the requirements thereof and the delivery of any documentation required thereunder) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (2) of this Section 10.04. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.06 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant shall be subject to Section 2.18(5) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other

229

obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. Each Lender shall indemnify the Loan Parties for any Taxes (including any additions to Tax) attributable to or resulting from such Xxxxxx’s failure to comply with the provisions of this Section 10.04(4)(a) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register.

(b)

A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.17 to the extent such Participant fails to comply with Section 2.17(5) as though it were a Lender.

(5)

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 or other central bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(6)

The Borrower, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agrees to issue Notes to any Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in paragraph (5) of this Section 10.04; provided that such Lender will have delivered for exchange any Notes previously issued with respect to the applicable Loans (or other documentation (including an affidavit of loss and indemnitee agreement) reasonably acceptable to the Borrower in lieu thereof).

230

(7)

If the Borrower wishes to replace the Loans or Commitments with ones having different terms, it shall have the option, with the consent of the Administrative Agent and, where relevant, each Swingline Lender and Issuing Bank, and subject to at least three Business Days’ advance notice to the Lenders, instead of repaying the Loans or reducing or terminating the Commitments to be replaced, to (i) require the Lenders to assign such Loans or Commitments to the Administrative Agent or its designees and (ii) amend the terms thereof in accordance with Section 10.08 (with such replacement, if applicable, being deemed to have been made pursuant to Section 10.08(5)). Pursuant to any such assignment, all Loans and Commitments to be replaced shall be purchased at par (allocated among the Lenders in the same manner as would be required if such Loans were being optionally prepaid or such Commitments were being optionally reduced or terminated by the Borrower), accompanied by payment of any accrued interest and fees thereon and any amounts owing pursuant to Section 10.05(2); provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to purchase such Loans and Commitments to be replaced unless it has agreed to purchase such Loans and Commitments in its sole discretion. By receiving such purchase price, the Lenders shall automatically be deemed to have assigned the Loans or Commitments pursuant to the terms of the form of Assignment and Acceptance attached hereto as Exhibit A, and accordingly no other action by such Lenders shall be required in connection therewith. The provisions of this paragraph (7) are intended to facilitate the maintenance of the perfection and priority of existing security interests in the Collateral during any such replacement.

(8)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no assignment may be made or participation sold to a Disqualified Institution without the prior written consent of the Borrower; provided that, in connection with a participation, the Lenders shall have received a list of the Disqualified Institutions prior to the execution of such participation right. To the extent that any assignment is purported to be made or participation is purported to be sold to a Disqualified Institution (notwithstanding this clause (8) or otherwise), such Disqualified Institution shall be required immediately (and in any event within five (5) Business Days) to assign all Loans and Commitments then owned by such Disqualified Institution to another Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) or another Assignee in accordance with this Section 10.04 or unwind such participation, as applicable (and the Borrower shall be entitled to seek specific performance in any applicable court of law or equity to enforce this sentence).

(d)

to the extent related to the foregoing, non-compliance with or liability under Environmental Laws by or of the Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries, or any actual or alleged presence, Release or threatened Release of Hazardous Materials at, under, on or from any property for which the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiaries would reasonably be expected to be held liable under Environmental Laws;

232

provided that no Indemnitee will be indemnified for any loss, claim, damage, liability, cost or expense to the extent it: (i) has been determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from (A) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties or (B) a material breach of the obligations of such Indemnitee under the Loan Documents or (ii) relates to any proceeding between or among Indemnitees other than (A) claims against Administrative Agent or Arrangers or their respective Affiliates, in each case, in their capacity or in fulfilling their role as the agent or arranger or any other similar role under the Revolving Facility (excluding their role as a Lender) to the extent such Persons are otherwise entitled to receive indemnification under this Section 10.05(2) or (B) claims arising out of any act or omission on the part of the Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries.

234

Refinancing Term Loans) of the Borrower or any Subsidiary Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document held by such Refinancing Term Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Refinancing Term Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such other Loan Document and although such Obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Refinancing Term Lender under this Section 10.06(2) are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that such Refinancing Term Lender may have, but may be exercised only at the direction of the Administrative Agent or the Required Term Lenders and only after the Discharge of ABL Revolving Claims.

Section 10.08 Waivers; Amendment.

(1)

No failure or delay of the Administrative Agent, Swingline Lender, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of each Agent, each Swingline Lender, each Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (2) of this Section 10.08, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on the Borrower or any other Loan Party in any case shall entitle such Person to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(2)

Subject to Section 2.14 and 10.08(12) below, except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement (or the applicable Loan Documents), neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except:

provided, however, that, except as expressly provided in Sections 2.14, 2.21, 2.22, 2.23 and 10.20, no such agreement will:

(i)

decrease, forgive, waive or excuse the principal amount of, or any interest on, or extend the final maturity of, or decrease the rate of interest on, any Loan or any L/C Disbursement, or extend the stated expiration of any Letter of Credit beyond the Maturity Date, without the prior written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, except as provided in Section 2.05(3) with respect to the expiration of Letters of Credit (it being understood that waivers or other modifications of any conditions precedent, covenants, mandatory prepayments, mandatory commitment reductions, default interest, Defaults or Events of Default shall not constitute a decrease, forgiveness, waiver or excuse of the principal amount of, or any interest on, or an extension of the final maturity of, or a decrease the rate of interest on, any Loan or L/C Disbursement or an extension of the stated expiration of any Letter of Credit beyond the Maturity Date);

(ii)

increase or extend the Commitment or Refinancing Term Loan Commitment of any Lender or decrease, forgive, waive or excuse the Commitment Fees or L/C Participation Fees or other fees of any Lender, Agent or Issuing Bank without the prior written consent of such Lender, Agent or Issuing Bank (it being understood that waivers or other modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, mandatory prepayments, mandatory commitment reductions, default interest, Defaults or Events of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the aggregate Commitments or Refinancing Term Loan Commitments shall not constitute an increase or extension of the Commitments or Refinancing Term Loan Commitments of any Lender or a decrease, forgiveness, waiver or excuse of any such fees);

(iii)

extend any date on which payment of principal or interest on any Loan or any L/C Disbursement or any Fees is due, without the prior written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (it being understood that waivers or other modifications of any conditions precedent, covenants, mandatory prepayments, mandatory commitment reductions, default interest, Defaults or Events of Default shall not constitute an extension of any date on which payment of principal or interest on any Loan, L/C Disbursement or any Fee is due);

236

(iv)

amend the provisions of Section 2.18(3), (4) or (5) of this Agreement, Section 5.02 of the Collateral Agreement or any analogous provision of any other Loan Document, in a manner that would by its terms alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby or the relative priorities of such payments, without the prior written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby;

(v)

change the definition of the term “Borrowing Base” or any component definition thereof if as a result thereof the amounts available to be borrowed by the Borrower would be increased, or increase any of the percentages set forth in the definition of “Borrowing Base”, without the prior written consent of the Supermajority Lenders; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not limit the ability of the Administrative Agent to implement, change or eliminate any Reserves in its Reasonable Credit Judgment as permitted hereunder without the prior written consent of any Lenders;

(vi)

(4)

(a)

for the purpose of adding the holders of Junior Lien Debt or Indebtedness secured on a pari passu basis with the Liens securing the ~~Initial~~ Term Loans, Permitted Junior Secured Refinancing Debt (or a Debt Representative with respect thereto) as parties thereto, as expressly contemplated by the terms of such Intercreditor Agreement (it being understood that any such amendment or supplement may make such other changes to the applicable Intercreditor Agreement as, in the good faith determination of the Administrative Agent, are required to effectuate the foregoing), or

(b)

expressly contemplated by any Intercreditor Agreement.

(5)

[Reserved].

(8)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or any other Loan Document other than as set forth in the definition of “Required Revolving Lenders” or “Required Term Lenders”, no Defaulting Lender or Disqualified Institution will have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders, the Required Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than any Defaulting Lenders or Disqualified Institutions.

(9)

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, any amendment or waiver that by its terms affects the rights or duties of Lenders holding Loans or Commitments of a particular tranche (but not the Lenders holding Loans or Commitments of any other tranche) will require only the requisite percentage in interest of the affected Lenders that would be required to consent thereto if such Lenders were the only Lenders.

(10)

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, technical and conforming modifications to the Loan Documents may be made with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

(11)

(13)

In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or any other Loan Document, the Collateral Agreement, each of the other Security Documents and any related documents may be in a form reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower and may be, together with this Agreement, amended and waived with the consent of the Administrative Agent at the request of the Borrower without the need to obtain the consent of any other Lender if such amendment or waiver is delivered in order (a) to comply with local Law or advice of local counsel, (b) to cure ambiguities or defects (as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower) or (c) to cause such Security Document or other document to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents

239

Section 10.09 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the applicable interest rate, together with all fees and charges that are treated as interest under applicable law (collectively, the “Charges”), as provided for herein or in any other document executed in connection herewith, or otherwise contracted for, charged, received, taken or reserved by any Lender, shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by such Lender in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable hereunder, together with all Charges payable to such Lender, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate; provided that such excess amount shall be paid to such Lender on subsequent payment dates to the extent not exceeding the legal limitation. In no event will the total interest received by any Lender exceed the amount which it could lawfully have received and any such excess amount received by any Lender will be applied to reduce the principal balance of the Loans or to other amounts (other than interest) payable hereunder to such Lender, and if no such principal or other amounts are then outstanding, such excess or part thereof remaining will be paid to the Borrower.

Section 10.10 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the agreements regarding certain Fees referred to herein constitute the entire contract between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof. Any previous agreement among or representations from the parties or their Affiliates with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Fee Letter shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and remain in full force and effect. Nothing in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto and thereto any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.11.

The parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

240

Section 10.13 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 10.03.

Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan (or if such court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan) and any appellate court from any thereof (collectively, “New York Courts”), in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions relating hereto or thereto, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined in such Federal (to the extent permitted by law) or New York State court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document shall affect any right that any party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in the courts of any jurisdiction, except that each of the Loan Parties agrees that it will not bring any such action or proceeding in any court other than New York Courts (it being acknowledged and agreed by the parties hereto that any other forum would be inconvenient and inappropriate in view of the fact that more of the Lenders who would be affected by any such action or proceeding have contacts with the State of New York than any other jurisdiction).

241

(2)

Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in any New York State or federal court.

and shall not reveal the same other than to its directors, trustees, officers, employees and advisors with a need to know or to any Person that approves or administers the Revolving Facility or any Refinancing Term Loans on behalf of such Lender or any numbering, administration or settlement service providers (so long as each such Person shall have been instructed to keep the same confidential in accordance with this Section 10.16 and, with respect to its directors, trustees, officers, employees and advisors, to the extent within its control, such Lender or Agent, as applicable, will be responsible for any such Person’s non-compliance with this Section 10.16), except:

(a)

to the extent necessary to comply with law or any legal process or the requirements of any Governmental Authority, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or of any securities exchange on which securities of the disclosing party or any Affiliate of the disclosing party are listed or traded, in which case such Person agrees, to the extent practicable and not prohibited by applicable law, to inform you promptly thereof prior to disclosure or, if not practicable prior to disclosure and not prohibited by law, promptly after disclosure;

242

(b)

as part of normal reporting or review procedures to, or examinations by, Governmental Authorities or any bank accountants or bank regulatory authority exercising examination or regulatory authority, in which case (except with respect to any audit or examination conducted by any such bank accountant or bank regulatory authority) such Person agrees, to the extent practicable and not prohibited by applicable law, to inform you promptly thereof prior to disclosure or, if not practicable prior to disclosure and not prohibited by law, promptly after disclosure;

(c)

to its parent companies, Affiliates or auditors (so long as each such Person shall have been instructed to keep the same confidential in accordance with this Section 10.16 and, to the extent within its control, such Lender or Agent will be responsible for any such Person’s non-compliance with this Section 10.16);

(d)

in order to enforce its rights under any Loan Document in a legal proceeding;

(e)

to any pledgee or assignee under Section 10.04(5) or any other prospective assignee of, or prospective Participant in, any of its rights under this Agreement (so long as such Person shall have been instructed to keep the same confidential in accordance with this Section 10.16);

(f)

to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty in Hedge Agreements or such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor (so long as such contractual counterparty or professional advisor to such contractual counterparty agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 10.16); and

(g)

with the prior written consent of the Borrower; and

(h)

to any rating agency when required by it, provided that, prior to any disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information relating to the Loan Parties received by it from such Person.

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:

243

(a)

all the Borrower Materials shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, means that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof;

(b)

by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders to treat the Borrower Materials as either publicly available information or not material information (although it may be sensitive and proprietary) with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws;

(c)

all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Investor;” and

(d)

the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers shall be entitled to treat the Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public Investor.”

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall be under no obligation to provide any Borrower Materials suitable for distribution to any Public Lenders or to mark any Borrower Materials “PUBLIC.”

In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.
