Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein shall be construed, and all computations of amounts and ratios referred to in Article V and Article VIII shall be made, without giving effect to any election under Accounting Standards Codification 825-10 (or any other Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any Indebtedness or other liabilities of any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of any Loan Party at “fair value.” (c) Limited Condition Acquisitions. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any Loan Document to the contrary, when (i) calculating any applicable ratio in connection with incurrence of Indebtedness, the creation of Liens, the making of any Sale, the making of an Investment, the making of a Restricted Payment or the repayment of Indebtedness, (ii) determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement which requires that no Default or Event of Default has occurred (other than an Event of Default under Section 9.1(a) or 9.1(d)), is continuing or would result therefrom, (iii) determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement which requires compliance with any representations and warranties set forth herein or (iv) the satisfaction of all other conditions precedent to the incurrence with of Indebtedness, the creation of Liens, the making of any Sale, the making of an Investment, the designation of a Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary or an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the making of a Restricted Payment or the repayment of Indebtedness, in each case in connection with a Limited Condition Acquisition, the date of determination of such ratio, determination of whether any Default or Event of Default has occurred, is continuing or would result therefrom, determination of compliance with any representations or warranties or satisfaction of any other condition shall, at the option of the Borrower (the Borrower’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Acquisition, an “LCA Election”), be deemed to be the date the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Acquisition are entered into (the “LCA Test Date”). If on a Pro Forma Basis after giving effect to such Limited Condition Acquisition and the other related transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) such ratios and other provisions are calculated as if such Limited Condition Acquisition or other transactions had occurred at the beginning of the most recent period of four consecutive Fiscal Quarters 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 provisions shall be deemed to have been complied with, unless an Event of Default under Section 9.1(a) or 9.1(d) shall be continuing on the date such Limited Condition Acquisition is consummated. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) if any of such ratios or other provisions are exceeded or breached as a result of 50 [[NYCORP:3713047v14:05/10/2018--10:17 PM]]
fluctuations in such ratio (including due to fluctuations in LTM EBITDA) or other provisions at or prior to the consummation of the relevant Limited Condition Acquisition, such ratios and other provisions will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations solely for purposes of determining whether the Limited Condition Acquisition is permitted hereunder and (ii) such ratios and compliance with such conditions shall not be tested at the time of consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition or related transactions in connection therewith, unless on such date an Event of Default under Section 9.1(a) or 9.1(d) shall have occurred and be continuing. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that the Borrower makes an LCA Election as described above, following such election and until the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Acquisition is consummated or the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Acquisition is terminated, subject to the proviso below, all subsequent calculations of any ratios under this Agreement in connection with incurrence of Indebtedness, the creation of Liens, the making of any Sale, the making of an Investment, the designation of a Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary or an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the making of a Restricted Payment or the repayment of Indebtedness (and for the avoidance of doubt, excluding with respect to the calculation of any covenant in Section 5.1) shall be (x) calculated on a pro forma basis assuming such Limited Condition Acquisition and other pro forma events in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness) have been consummated and (y) calculated on a pro forma basis assuming such Limited Condition Acquisition and other pro forma events in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness) have not been consummated (and for the avoidance of doubt, must satisfy both clauses (x) and (y)). Section 1.4 Payments. The Administrative Agent may set up standards and procedures to determine or redetermine the equivalent in Dollars of any amount expressed in any currency other than Dollars and otherwise may, but shall not be obligated to, rely on any determination made by any Loan Party or any L/C Issuer. Any such determination or redetermination by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. No determination or redetermination by any Secured Party or Loan Party and no other currency conversion shall change or release any obligation of any Loan Party or of any Secured Party (other than the Administrative Agent and its Related Persons) under any Loan Document, each of which agrees to pay separately for any shortfall remaining after any conversion and payment of the amount as converted. The Administrative Agent may round up or down, and may set up appropriate mechanisms to round up or down, any amount hereunder to nearest higher or lower amounts and may determine reasonable de minimis payment thresholds. Section 1.5 Interpretation. (a) Certain Terms. Except as set forth in any Loan Document, all accounting terms not specifically defined herein shall be construed in accordance with GAAP (except for the term “property”, which shall be interpreted as broadly as possible, including, in any case, cash, Securities, other assets, rights under Contractual Obligations and Permits and any right or interest in any property). The terms “herein”, “hereof” and similar terms refer to this Agreement as a whole. In the computation of periods of time from a specified date to a later specified date in any Loan Document, the terms “from” means “from and including” and the words “to” and “until” each mean “to but excluding” and the word “through” means “to and including.” In any other case, the term “including” when used in any Loan Document means “including without limitation.” The term “documents” means all writings, however evidenced and whether in physical or electronic form, including all documents, instruments, agreements, notices, demands, certificates, forms, financial statements, opinions and reports. The term “incur” means incur, create, make, issue, assume or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable in respect of or responsible for, in each case whether directly or indirectly, and the terms “incurrence” and “incurred” and similar derivatives shall have correlative meanings. It is understood and agreed that any Indebtedness, Lien, Restricted Payment, Restricted Debt Payment, Contractual Obligation, Investment, Sale and/or Affiliate transaction need not be permitted solely by reference to one category of permitted Indebtedness, Lien, Restricted Payment, Restricted Debt Payment, Contractual 51 [[NYCORP:3713047v14:05/10/2018--10:17 PM]]
Obligation, Investment, Sale and/or Affiliate transaction under Section 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, 8.5, 8.6, 8.9 or 8.10, respectively, but may instead be permitted in part under any combination thereof. (b) Certain References. Unless otherwise expressly indicated, references (i) in this Agreement to an Exhibit, Schedule, Article, Section or clause refer to the appropriate Exhibit or Schedule to, or Article, Section or clause in, this Agreement and (ii) in any Loan Document, to (A) any agreement shall include all exhibits, schedules, appendixes and annexes to such agreement and, unless the prior consent of any Secured Party required therefor is not obtained, any modification, amendment or restatement to any term of such agreement, (B) any statute shall be to such statute as modified from time to time and to any successor legislation thereto, in each case as in effect at the time any such reference is operative and (C) any time of day shall be a reference to New York time. Titles of articles, sections, clauses, exhibits, schedules and annexes contained in any Loan Document are without substantive meaning or content of any kind whatsoever and are not a part of the agreement between the parties hereto. Unless otherwise expressly indicated, the meaning of any term defined (including by reference) in any Loan Document shall be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of such term. (c) Laws. References to any statute or regulation may be made by using either the common or public name thereof or a specific citation reference and are to be construed as including all statutory and regulatory provisions relating thereto or consolidating, amending, replacing, supplementing or interpreting the statute or regulation. (d) Certain Calculations and Tests. (i) For purposes of determining the permissibility of any action, change, transaction or event that requires a calculation of any financial ratio or test, such financial ratio or test shall be calculated at the time such action is taken (subject to Section 1.3 above), such change is made, such transaction is consummated or such event occurs, as the case may be, and no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of a change in such financial ratio or test occurring after such calculation. (ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, with respect to any amount incurred or transaction entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Agreement that does not require compliance with a financial ratio (any such amount, a “Fixed Amount”) substantially concurrently with any amount incurred or transaction entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Agreement that requires compliance with a financial ratio (any such amount, an “Incurrence-Based Amount”), it is understood and agreed that (i) any Fixed Amount shall be disregarded in the calculation of the financial ratio applicable to the relevant Incurrence-Based Amount and (ii) pro forma effect shall be given to the entire transaction. (iii) The increase in any amount secured by any Lien by virtue of the accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value, the payment of interest or a dividend in the form of additional Indebtedness, amortization of original issue discount and/or any increase in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of any fluctuation in the exchange rate of any applicable currency will not be deemed to be the granting of a Lien for purposes of Section 8.2. Section 1.6 Currency Equivalents Generally. (a) Any amount specified in this Agreement (other than in Article II, or as set forth in clause (b) of this Section, or as expressly provided for in Article VIII) or any of the other Loan 52 [[NYCORP:3713047v14:05/10/2018--10:17 PM]]
Documents to be in Dollars shall also include the Dollar Equivalent of such amount in any currency other than Dollars. (b) For purposes of determining compliance under Sections 5.1, and for calculating any financial ratio set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any amount in a currency other than Dollars will be converted to Dollars in a manner consistent with that used in calculating net income in the Borrower’s Financial Statements delivered pursuant to Section 4.4(a). Section 1.7 Effectuation of Transactions. Each of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement (and all corresponding definitions) is made after giving effect to the Related Transactions, unless the context otherwise requires. ARTICLE 2 THE FACILITIES Section 2.1 The Commitments. (a) Revolving Credit Commitments. On the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement, each Revolving Credit Lender severally, but not jointly, agrees to make loans in Dollars to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the date hereof until the Revolving Credit Termination Date (the loans borrowed under this Section 2.1(a), including any Incremental Revolving Loans and any Extended/Modified Revolving Loans, the “Revolving Loans”, and each a “Revolving Loan”) in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding for all such loans by such Lender not to exceed such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment; provided, however, that at no time shall any Revolving Credit Lender be obligated to make a Revolving Loan in excess of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount by which the then effective Revolving Credit Commitments exceeds the aggregate Revolving Credit Outstandings at such time. Within the limits set forth in the first sentence of this clause (a), amounts of Revolving Loans repaid may be reborrowed under this Section 2.1. No Revolving Loans will be made on the Closing Date other than the Initial Revolving Borrowings. (b) Initial Term Loan Commitments. On the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement, each Initial Term Loan Lender severally, but not jointly, agrees to make loans (the “Initial Term Loans”) in Dollars to the Borrower on the Closing Date, in an amount not to exceed such Lender’s Initial Term Loan Commitment. Amounts of Initial Term Loans repaid may not be reborrowed. (c) Delayed-Draw Term Loan Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Delayed-Draw Term Loan Lender agrees to make available to Borrower from time to time beginning one Business Day after the Closing Date until the Delayed-Draw Commitment Termination Date loans (the “Delayed-Draw Term Loans”) in an aggregate amount not to exceed such Lender’s Delayed-Draw Term Loan Commitment. The obligations of each Delayed-Draw Term Loan Lender hereunder shall be several and not joint. Amounts of Delayed-Draw Term Loans repaid may not be reborrowed. Such Delayed-Draw Term Loans shall be added to (and constitute a part of, be of the same tranche and have the same Interest Period as) the Initial Term Loans; it being acknowledged that the application of this clause (c) may result in the Delayed-Draw Term Loans having an Interest Period (the duration of which may be less than one month) that begins during an Interest Period then applicable to outstanding Initial Term Loans and which ends on the last day of such Interest Period. Section 2.2 Borrowing Procedures. (a) Notice From the Borrower. Each Borrowing shall be made on notice given by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent not later than (i) 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the first Business Day prior to the proposed Borrowing, in the case of a Borrowing 53 [[NYCORP:3713047v14:05/10/2018--10:17 PM]]
of Base Rate Loans and (ii) 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing, in the case of a Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans (or 12:00 p.m. (New York time) on the first Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing, in the case of a Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans to be made on the Closing Date); provided that such notices may be conditioned on the occurrence of the Closing Date or on the occurrence of any other transaction utilizing such Loans. Each such notice may be made in a writing substantially in the form of Exhibit C (a “Notice of Borrowing”) duly completed or by telephone if confirmed promptly, but in any event within one Business Day and prior to such Borrowing, with such a Notice of Borrowing. Loans shall be made as Base Rate Loans unless, outside of a suspension period pursuant to Section 2.15, the Notice of Borrowing specifies that all or a portion thereof shall be Eurodollar Rate Loans. Each Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000. (b) Notice to Each Lender. The Administrative Agent shall give to each Lender prompt notice of the Administrative Agent’s receipt of a Notice of Borrowing and, if Eurodollar Rate Loans are properly requested in such Notice of Borrowing, prompt notice of the applicable interest rate. Each Lender shall, before 11:00 a.m. on the date of the proposed Borrowing, make available to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 11.11, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such proposed Borrowing. Upon fulfillment or due waiver (i) on the Closing Date, of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 3.1 and (ii) any time thereafter, of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 3.2, the Administrative Agent shall make available to the Borrower the Initial Term Loans or any Revolving Loan, as applicable. Upon fulfillment or due waiver on the Delayed-Draw Effective Date of the applicable conditions set forth in the relevant provisions of Section 3.4, the Administrative Agent shall make available to the Borrower the Delayed-Draw Term Loans. (c) Non-Funding of Loans. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from any Lender prior to the date such Lender is required to make any payment hereunder with respect to any Loan or any participation in any Swingline Loan or Letter of Credit that such Lender will not make such payment (or any portion thereof) available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such payment available to the Administrative Agent on the date such payment is required to be made in accordance with this Article II and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. The Borrower agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent on demand such amount (until repaid by such Lender) with interest thereon for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at the interest rate applicable to the Obligation that would have been created when the Administrative Agent made available such amount to the Borrower had such Lender made a corresponding payment available; provided, however, that such payment shall not relieve such Lender of any obligation it may have to the Borrower, the Swingline Lender or any L/C Issuer. In addition, any Lender that shall not have made available to the Administrative Agent any portion of any payment described above shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender and agrees to pay such amount to the Administrative Agent on demand together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate for the first Business Day and thereafter (i) in the case of a payment in respect of a Loan, at the interest rate applicable at the time to such Loan and (ii) otherwise, at the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility. Such repayment shall then constitute the funding of the corresponding Loan (including any Loan deemed to have been made hereunder with such payment) or participation. The existence of any Defaulting Lender shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations under any Loan Document, but no other Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any Defaulting Lender to make any payment required under any Loan Document. 54 [[NYCORP:3713047v14:05/10/2018--10:17 PM]]
Section 2.3 Swingline Loans. (a) Availability. On the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement, the Swingline Lender shall make loans in Dollars (each a “Swingline Loan”) available to the Borrower under the Revolving Credit Facility from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the date hereof until the Revolving Credit Termination Date in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not to exceed its Swingline Commitment; provided, however, that the Swingline Lender may not make any Swingline Loan (x) to the extent that after giving effect to such Swingline Loan, the aggregate Revolving Credit Outstandings would exceed the Revolving Credit Commitments and (y) in the period commencing on the first Business Day after it receives notice from the Administrative Agent that one or more of the conditions precedent contained in Section 3.2 are not satisfied and ending when such conditions are satisfied or duly waived. In connection with the making of any Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender may but shall not be required to determine that, or take notice whether, the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 have been satisfied or waived. Each Swingline Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan and must be repaid in full on the earliest of (i) the funding date of any Borrowing of Revolving Loans and (ii) the Revolving Credit Termination Date. Within the limits set forth in the first sentence of this clause (a), amounts of Swingline Loans repaid may be reborrowed under this clause (a). (b) Borrowing Procedures. In order to request a Swingline Loan, the Borrower shall give to the Administrative Agent a notice to be received not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day of the proposed borrowing, which may be made in a writing substantially in the form of Exhibit D duly completed (a “Swingline Request”) or by telephone if confirmed promptly but, in any event, prior to such borrowing, with such a Swingline Request. In addition, if any Notice of Borrowing requests a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, the Swingline Lender may, notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in Section 2.2, make a Swingline Loan available to the Borrower in an aggregate amount not to exceed such proposed Borrowing, and the aggregate amount of the corresponding proposed Borrowing shall be reduced accordingly by the principal amount of such Swingline Loan. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Swingline Lender of the details of the requested Swingline Loan. Upon receipt of such notice and subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Swingline Lender may make a Swingline Loan available to the Borrower by making the proceeds thereof available to the Administrative Agent and, in turn, the Administrative Agent shall make such proceeds available to the Borrower on the date set forth in the relevant Swingline Request. (c) Refinancing Swingline Loans. The Swingline Lender may at any time forward a demand to the Administrative Agent (which the Administrative Agent shall, upon receipt, forward to each Revolving Credit Lender) that each Revolving Credit Lender pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Revolving Credit Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all or a portion of the outstanding Swingline Loans. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay such Pro Rata Share to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender. Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of such payment (other than during the continuation of any Event of Default under Section 9.1(d)), such Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to have made a Revolving Loan to the Borrower, which, upon receipt of such payment by the Swingline Lender from the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall be deemed to have used in whole to refinance such Swingline Loan. In addition, regardless of whether any such demand is made, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under Section 9.1(d), each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to have acquired, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in each Swingline Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Swingline Loan. If any payment made by any Revolving Credit Lender as a result of any such demand is not deemed a Revolving Loan, such payment shall be deemed a funding by such Lender of such participation. Such participation shall not be otherwise required to be funded. Upon receipt by the Swingline Lender of any payment from any Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to this clause (c) with respect to any portion of any Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender shall promptly pay over to such Revolving Credit Lender all payments of principal (to the extent received after such payment by such 55 [[NYCORP:3713047v14:05/10/2018--10:17 PM]]
Lender) and interest (to the extent accrued with respect to periods after such payment) received by the Swingline Lender with respect to such portion. (d) Obligation to Fund Absolute. Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligations pursuant to clause (c) above shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever, including (A) the existence of any setoff, claim, abatement, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender, any Affiliate thereof or any other Person may have against the Swingline Lender, any other Secured Party or any other Person, (B) the failure of any condition precedent set forth in Section 3.2 to be satisfied or the failure of the Borrower to deliver any notice set forth in Section 2.2(a) (each of which requirements the Revolving Credit Lenders hereby irrevocably waive) and (C) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of any Loan Party. Section 2.4 Letters of Credit. (a) Commitment and Conditions. On the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein, each L/C Issuer agrees to Issue, at the request of the Borrower, in accordance with such L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices, and for the account of the Borrower (or, as long as the Borrower remains responsible for the payment in full of all amounts drawn thereunder and related fees, costs and expenses, for the account of any Group Member), Letters of Credit (denominated in Dollars) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date through the earlier of the Revolving Credit Termination Date and five (5) days prior to the Scheduled Revolving Credit Termination Date; provided, however, that such L/C Issuer shall not be under any obligation to Issue any Letter of Credit upon the occurrence of any of the following: (i) after giving effect to such Issuance, (A) the aggregate Revolving Credit Outstandings would exceed the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments or (B) the L/C Obligations for all Letters of Credit would exceed the L/C Sublimit; (ii) the expiration date of such Letter of Credit (A) is not a Business Day, (B) is more than one year after the date of Issuance thereof or (C) is later than 5 days prior to the Scheduled Revolving Credit Termination Date; provided, however, that any Letter of Credit with a term not exceeding one year may provide for its renewal for additional periods not exceeding one year as long as (x) each of the Borrower and such L/C Issuer have the option to prevent such renewal before the expiration of such term or any such period and (y) neither such L/C Issuer nor the Borrower shall permit any such renewal to extend such expiration date beyond the date set forth in clause (C) above; (iii) (A) any fee due in connection with, and on or prior to, such Issuance has not been paid, (B) such Letter of Credit is requested to be Issued in a form that is not acceptable to such L/C Issuer or (C) such L/C Issuer shall not have received, each in form and substance reasonably acceptable to it and duly executed by the Borrower (and, if such Letter of Credit is Issued for the account of any other Group Member, such Group Member), the documents that such L/C Issuer generally uses in the ordinary course of its business for the Issuance of letters of credit of the type of such Letter of Credit (collectively, the “L/C Reimbursement Agreement”); or (iv) subject to the application of Section 2.21(b), any Revolving Credit Lender is a Defaulting Lender, unless the L/C Issuer has entered into arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (in its sole discretion) with the Borrower to eliminate the L/C Issuer’s risk with respect to the participation in Letters of Credit by all such Defaulting Lenders, including by cash collateralizing, or obtaining a backstop letter of credit from an issuer reasonably satisfactory to the L/C Issuer to support, each such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any L/C Reimbursement Obligation. 56 [[NYCORP:3713047v14:05/10/2018--10:17 PM]]
For each such Issuance, the applicable L/C Issuer may, but shall not be required to, determine that, or take notice whether, the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 have been satisfied or waived in connection with the Issuance of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that no Letter of Credit shall be Issued during the period starting on the first Business Day after the receipt by such L/C Issuer of notice from the Administrative Agent that any condition precedent contained in Section 3.2 is not satisfied and ending on the date all such conditions are satisfied or duly waived. Upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.1, all Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued under this Agreement and shall constitute Letters of Credit for all purposes hereunder without any further action by any Person. (b) Notice of Issuance. The Borrower shall give the relevant L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent a notice of any requested Issuance of any Letter of Credit, which shall be effective only if received by such L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. on the third Business Day prior to the date of such requested Issuance. Such notice may be made in a writing substantially the form of Exhibit E duly completed or in a writing in any other form acceptable to such L/C Issuer (an “L/C Request”) or by telephone if confirmed promptly, but in any event within one Business Day and prior to such Issuance, with such an L/C Request. (c) Reporting Obligations of L/C Issuers. Each L/C Issuer agrees to provide the Administrative Agent (which, after receipt, the Administrative Agent shall provide to each Revolving Credit Lender), in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, each of the following on the following dates: (i) on or prior to (A) any Issuance of any Letter of Credit by such L/C Issuer, (B) any drawing under any such Letter of Credit or (C) any payment (or failure to pay when due) by the Borrower of any related L/C Reimbursement Obligation, notice thereof, which shall contain a reasonably detailed description of such Issuance, drawing or payment, (ii) upon the request of the Administrative Agent (or any Revolving Credit Lender through the Administrative Agent), copies of any Letter of Credit Issued by such L/C Issuer and any related L/C Reimbursement Agreement and such other documents and information as may reasonably be requested by the Administrative Agent and (iii) on the first Business Day of each calendar week, a schedule of the Letters of Credit Issued by such L/C Issuer, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, setting forth the L/C Obligations for such Letters of Credit outstanding on the last Business Day of the previous calendar week. (d) Acquisition of Participations. Upon any Issuance of a Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms of this Agreement resulting in any increase in the L/C Obligations, each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to have acquired, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Letter of Credit and the related L/C Obligations in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such L/C Obligations. (e) Reimbursement Obligations of the Borrower. The Borrower agrees to pay to the L/C Issuer of any Letter of Credit each L/C Reimbursement Obligation owing with respect to such Letter of Credit no later than the first Business Day after the Borrower receives notice from such L/C Issuer that payment has been made under such Letter of Credit or that such L/C Reimbursement Obligation is otherwise due (the “L/C Reimbursement Date”) with interest thereon computed as set forth in clause (i) below. In the event that any L/C Issuer incurs any L/C Reimbursement Obligation not repaid by the Borrower as provided in this clause (e) (or any such payment by the Borrower is rescinded or set aside for any reason), such L/C Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such failure (and, upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall forward a copy to each Revolving Credit Lender) and, irrespective of whether such notice is given, such L/C Reimbursement Obligation shall be payable on demand by the Borrower with interest thereon computed (i) from the date on which such L/C Reimbursement Obligation arose to the L/C Reimbursement Date, at the interest rate applicable during 57 [[NYCORP:3713047v14:05/10/2018--10:17 PM]]
such period to Loans that are Base Rate Loans and (ii) thereafter until payment in full, at the interest rate applicable during such period to past due Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans. (f) Reimbursement Obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders. Upon receipt of the notice described in clause (e) above from the Administrative Agent, each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer its Pro Rata Share of such L/C Reimbursement Obligation. By making such payment (other than during the continuation of an Event of Default under Section 9.1(d)), such Lender shall be deemed to have made a Revolving Loan to the Borrower, which, upon receipt thereof by such L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall be deemed to have used in whole to repay such L/C Reimbursement Obligation. Any such payment that is not deemed a Revolving Loan shall be deemed a funding by such Lender of its participation in the applicable Letter of Credit and the related L/C Obligations. Such participation shall not otherwise be required to be funded. Upon receipt by any L/C Issuer of any payment from any Lender pursuant to this clause (f) with respect to any portion of any L/C Reimbursement Obligation, such L/C Issuer shall promptly pay over to such Lender all payments received after such payment by such L/C Issuer with respect to such portion.

(c) Asset Sales and Property Loss Events. Upon receipt on or after the Closing Date by any Loan Party (other than Holdings) or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries of Net Cash Proceeds arising from (i) any non-ordinary course Sale by any Loan Party (other than Holdings) or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries of any of its property, including the sale of any program renewal rights (but excluding the AIG Renewal Rights), other than Sales of its own Stock and Sales of property permitted hereunder in reliance upon any of clauses (a), (b), (c) and (d) of Section 8.4 to the extent resulting, in the aggregate with all such other Sales, in the receipt by any of them of Net Cash Proceeds in excess of the Dollar Equivalent of $1,500,000 in any twelve-month period following the Closing Date or (ii) any Property Loss Event with respect to any property of any Loan Party (other than Holdings) or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries to the extent resulting, in the aggregate with all other such Property Loss Events, 60 [[NYCORP:3713047v14:05/10/2018--10:17 PM]]

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.8, (A) to the extent that any or all of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Sale by a Foreign Subsidiary giving rise to a prepayment event pursuant to Section 2.8(c) (a “Foreign Disposition”), the Net Cash Proceeds of any or a Property Loss Event from a Foreign Subsidiary (a “Foreign Property Loss Event”) or Excess Cash Flow of a Foreign Subsidiary are prohibited or delayed by applicable local law (including by reason of financial assistance, corporate benefit, restrictions on upstreaming or transfer of cash intra group and the fiduciary and statutory duties of the directors of relevant Subsidiaries) from being repatriated to the United States, the portion of such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans at the times provided in this Section 2.8 but may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary for so long as the applicable local law will not permit repatriation to the United States (the Borrower hereby agreeing to use commercially reasonable efforts with respect to such local laws to attempt to permit such repatriation; it being understood that such efforts shall not require (x) any expenditures in excess of a nominal amount of funds or (y) modifications to the organizational or tax structure of Holdings and/or its Subsidiaries to permit such repatriation), and once such repatriation of any of such affected Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow is permitted under the applicable local law, such repatriation will be immediately effected and such repatriated Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow will be promptly (and in any event not later than two (2) Business Days after such repatriation) applied to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.8) to the extent provided herein and (B) to the extent that the Borrower has determined in good faith that repatriation to the United States of any or all the Net Cash 61 [[NYCORP:3713047v14:05/10/2018--10:17 PM]]
Proceeds of any Foreign Disposition, any Foreign Property Loss Event or Excess Cash Flow of a Foreign Subsidiary would have material adverse tax consequences with respect to such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, the Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary and will be repatriated only after the Borrower has determined in good faith that such repatriation may be effected only without material adverse tax consequence, and such repatriated Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow (net of any tax cost of such repatriation) will be promptly (and in any event not later than two (2) Business Days after such repatriation) applied to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.8 to the extent provided herein. (f) Joint Ventures. The Borrower shall not be required to prepay any amount that would otherwise be required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.8(a) or 2.8(c) to the extent that the relevant Excess Cash Flow is generated by any joint venture or the relevant Net Cash Proceeds are received by any joint venture, in each case, for so long as the distribution to the Borrower of such Excess Cash Flow or Net Cash Proceeds would be prohibited under the Constituent Documents and/or joint venture agreements governing such joint venture; it being understood that if the relevant prohibition ceases to exist within the 365-day period following the end of the applicable Fiscal Year or the event giving rise to the relevant Net Cash Proceeds, the relevant joint venture will promptly distribute the relevant Excess Cash Flow or the relevant Net Cash Proceeds, as the case may be, and the distributed Excess Cash Flow or Net Cash Proceeds, as the case may be, will be promptly (and in any event not later than two Business Days after such distribution) applied to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.8 to the extent required herein (without regard to this clause (f)). (g) Application of Payments. Any payments made to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.8 shall be applied to the Obligations in accordance with Section 2.12(b). (h) The Borrower shall give notice to the Administrative Agent of any mandatory prepayment of the Loans pursuant to Sections 2.8(a), (b), (c), or (d) three (3) Business Days prior to the date on which such payment is due. Such notice shall state that the Borrower is offering to make or will make such mandatory prepayment on or before the date specified in Sections 2.8(a), (b), (c) or (d), as the case may be (each, a “Prepayment Date”). Once given, such notice shall be irrevocable (provided that the Borrower may rescind any notice of prepayment under Section 2.8(c) if such prepayment would have resulted from a refinancing of all or any portion of the applicable Facility or been made in connection with a Sale, which refinancing or Sale shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed) and all amounts subject to such notice shall be due and payable on the Prepayment Date (except as otherwise provided in the last sentence of this Section 2.8(h)). Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall immediately give notice to each Lender of the prepayment, the Prepayment Date and of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the prepayment. Each Lender may elect (in its sole discretion) to decline all (but not less than all) of its Pro Rata Share of any mandatory prepayment (other than a mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 2.8(d)) by giving notice of such election in writing to the Administrative Agent by 11:00 a.m. (New York time), on the date that is one Business Day after the date of such Lender’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent regarding such prepayment. If a Lender fails to deliver a notice of election declining receipt of its Pro Rata Share of such mandatory prepayment to the Administrative Agent within the time frame specified above, any such failure will be deemed to constitute an acceptance of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the total amount of such mandatory prepayment of Term Loans. Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall immediately notify the Borrower of such election. Any amount so declined by any Lender shall be retained by the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries or applied by the Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries in any manner permitted under the terms of this Agreement. 62 [[NYCORP:3713047v14:05/10/2018--10:17 PM]]
(i) Except as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement or provided in, or intended with respect to, any amendment with respect to Replacement Loans, any Incremental Amendment or any Extension/Modification Amendment (provided, that such Replacement Loans, Incremental Amendment or Extension/Modification Amendment may not provide that the applicable tranche of Term Loans receive a greater than pro rata portion of mandatory prepayments of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.8 than would otherwise be permitted by this Agreement), each prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.8 shall be applied ratably to the Initial Term Loans and Delayed-Draw Term Loans then outstanding and each tranche of Term Loans then outstanding that is pari passu in right of payment and with respect to security with the Obligations that are secured on a first lien basis. Section 2.9 Interest. (a) Rate. All Loans and the outstanding amount of all other Obligations (other than pursuant to Secured Hedging Agreements) shall bear interest, in the case of Loans, on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loans are made and, in the case of such other Obligations, from the date such other Obligations are due and payable until, in all cases, paid in full, except as otherwise provided in clause (c) below, as follows: (i) in the case of Base Rate Loans, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Base Rate and the Applicable Margin, each as in effect from time to time, (ii) in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Eurodollar Rate and the Applicable Margin, each as in effect for the applicable Interest Period, and (iii) in the case of other Obligations, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Base Rate and the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans, each as in effect from time to time. (b) Payments. Interest accrued shall be payable in arrears (i) if accrued on the principal amount of any Loan, (A) at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise), (B) if such Loan is a Term Loan, upon the payment or prepayment of the principal amount on which such interest has accrued and (C)(1) if such Loan is a Base Rate Loan (including a Swingline Loan), on the last day of each calendar quarter commencing on the first such day following the making of such Loan and (2) if such Loan is a Eurodollar Rate Loan, on the last day of each Interest Period applicable to such Loan and, if applicable, on each date during such Interest Period occurring every 3 months from the first day of such Interest Period, and (ii) if accrued on any other Obligation, on demand from and after the time such Obligation is due and payable (whether by acceleration or otherwise). (c) Default Interest. Notwithstanding the rates of interest specified in clause (a) above or elsewhere in any Loan Document, effective immediately upon (A) the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 9.1(a) or (d)(ii) or (B) the delivery of a notice by the Required Lenders, or the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders, to the Borrower upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any other Event of Default and, in each case, for as long as such Event of Default shall be continuing, the principal balance of all Obligations (including any Obligation that bears interest by reference to the rate applicable to any other Obligation but excluding Obligations under Secured Hedging Agreements) shall bear interest at the Default Rate; provided that no amount shall accrue pursuant to this Section 2.9(c) on any amount payable to a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender. (d) Savings Clause. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of the Borrower hereunder shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest shall not be required, for any period for which interest is computed hereunder, to the extent (but only to the extent) that contracting for or receiving such payment by the respective Lender would be contrary to the provisions of any law applicable to such Lender limiting the highest rate of interest which may be lawfully contracted for, charged or received by such Lender, and in such event the Borrower shall pay such Lender interest at the highest rate permitted by applicable law (“Maximum Lawful Rate”); provided, however, that if at any time thereafter the rate of interest payable hereunder is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, the Borrower shall continue to pay interest hereunder at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest 63 [[NYCORP:3713047v14:05/10/2018--10:17 PM]]
received by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders, is equal to the total interest that would have been received had the interest payable hereunder been (but for the operation of this paragraph) the interest rate payable since the Closing Date as otherwise provided in this Agreement. Section 2.10 Conversion and Continuation Options. (a) Option. The Borrower may elect (i) in the case of any Eurodollar Rate Loan, (A) to continue such Eurodollar Rate Loan or any portion thereof for an additional Interest Period on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto and (B) to convert such Eurodollar Rate Loan or any portion thereof into a Base Rate Loan at any time on any Business Day, subject to the payment of any breakage costs required by Section 2.16(a), and (ii) in the case of Base Rate Loans (other than Swingline Loans), to convert such Base Rate Loans or any portion thereof into Eurodollar Rate Loans at any time on any Business Day upon three (3) Business Days’ prior notice; provided, however, that, (x) for each Interest Period, the aggregate amount of Eurodollar Rate Loans having such Interest Period must be an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and (y) no conversion in whole or in part of Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans and no continuation in whole or in part of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be permitted at any time at which (1) an Event of Default shall be continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, or the Required Lenders shall have notified the Borrower of their intention not to permit such conversions or continuations due to such Event of Default or (2) such continuation or conversion would be made during a suspension imposed by Section 2.15. No single Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be comprised of Loans under more than one of the Term Loan Facility or the Revolving Credit Facility. (b) Procedure. Each such election shall be made by giving the Administrative Agent at least 3 Business Days’ prior notice (or with respect to the continuation of or conversion to a Base Rate Loan, prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the first Business Day prior to the continuation or conversion) in substantially the form of Exhibit F (a “Notice of Conversion or Continuation”) duly completed. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of a Notice of Conversion or Continuation and of the options selected therein. If the Administrative Agent does not receive a timely Notice of Conversion or Continuation from the Borrower containing a permitted election to continue or convert any Eurodollar Rate Loan, then, upon the expiration of the applicable Interest Period, such Loan shall be automatically converted to a Base Rate Loan. Each partial conversion or continuation shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders in the applicable Facility in accordance with their Pro Rata Share. Section 2.11 Fees. (a) Unused Commitment Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit the Revolving Credit Lenders according to their Pro Rata Shares a commitment fee on the average daily balance by which the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender during the preceding calendar quarter exceeds its Pro Rata Share of the sum of (i) the average daily balance of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans during the preceding calendar quarter, and (ii) average daily balance of the outstanding amount of the L/C Obligations for all Letters of Credit during the preceding calendar quarter (the “Unused Commitment Fee”) from the date hereof through the Revolving Credit Termination Date at a rate per annum equal to the Revolving Commitment Fee Rate, payable in arrears (A) on the last day of each calendar quarter and (B) on the Revolving Credit Termination Date. (b) Letter of Credit Fees.

All such amounts shall be due and payable on the date of effectiveness of such Repricing Transaction. Section 2.12 Application of Payments. (a) Application of Voluntary Prepayments. Unless otherwise provided in this Section 2.12 or elsewhere in any Loan Document, all payments and any other amounts received by the Administrative Agent from or for the benefit of the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.7 shall be applied to repay the Obligations the Borrower designates; provided that all prepayments pursuant to this Section 2.12(a) that are to be applied to the Term Loans shall be applied pro rata between the Initial Term Loans and the Delayed-Draw Term Loans (if any) based on the then outstanding principal balances thereof. 65 [[NYCORP:3713047v14:05/10/2018--10:17 PM]]
(b) Application of Mandatory Prepayments. Subject to the provisions of clause (c) below with respect to the application of payments after the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 9.2, any payment made by the Borrower to an Agent pursuant to Section 2.8 or any other prepayment of the Obligations required to be applied in accordance with this clause (b) shall be applied: (i) in the case of Sections 2.8(a), 2.8(b) and 2.8(c), first, to repay the next eight remaining installments of the Term Loans in forward order of maturity and thereafter to repay ratably the remaining principal balance of the Term Loans until paid in full, second, to repay the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans without a corresponding permanent reduction in the Revolving Credit Commitments until paid in full, and third, to provide cash collateral for the L/C Obligations to the extent and in the manner provided in Section 9.3, and then, any excess shall be retained by the Borrower; and (ii) in the case of Section 2.8(d), first, to the repay the outstanding principal balance of the Swingline Loans until paid in full, second, to repay the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loans without a corresponding permanent reduction in the Revolving Credit Commitments until paid in full and third, to provide cash collateral for the L/C Obligations to the extent and in the manner provided in Section 9.3. All prepayments pursuant to this Section 2.12(b) that are to be applied to the Term Loans shall be applied pro rata between the Initial Term Loans and the Delayed-Draw Term Loans (if any). (c) Application of Payments. After the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 9.2 (or after the Loans have automatically become immediately due and payable as set forth in the proviso to Section 9.2), any amounts received on account of the Obligations shall be applied by the Administrative Agent in the following order: first, to Obligations in respect of any cost or expense reimbursements or indemnities then due to the Administrative Agent; second, to pay Obligations in respect of any cost or expense reimbursements or indemnities then due to the Lenders and the L/C Issuers; third, to payment of all accrued unpaid interest on the Loans and fees owed to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and L/C Issuers; fourth, to payment of principal of the Loans and L/C Reimbursement Obligations then due and payable until paid in full, and to provide cash collateral for unmatured L/C Obligations to the extent described in Section 9.3 and to any Secured Hedging Agreement; fifth, to the ratable payment of all other Obligations owing to the Lenders then due and payable; and sixth, any remainder shall be for the account of and paid to the Borrower or to whomsoever shall be lawfully entitled thereto. (d) Application of Payments Generally. All payments that would otherwise be allocated to the Revolving Credit Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall instead be allocated first, to repay interest on Swingline Loans, on any portion of the Revolving Loans that the Administrative Agent may have advanced on behalf of any Lender and on any L/C Reimbursement Obligation, in each case for which the Administrative Agent or, as the case may be, the L/C Issuer has not then been reimbursed by 66 [[NYCORP:3713047v14:05/10/2018--10:17 PM]]
such Lender or the Borrower, and second to pay the outstanding principal amount of the foregoing obligations. All repayments of any Revolving Loans or Term Loans shall be applied first, to repay such Loans outstanding as Base Rate Loans and then, to repay such Loans outstanding as Eurodollar Rate Loans, with those Eurodollar Rate Loans having earlier expiring Interest Periods being repaid prior to those having later expiring Interest Periods. All mandatory prepayments of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.8 shall first be applied in direct order to the next eight installments of such Term Loans, as applicable, and second to reduce ratably the remaining installments of such outstanding principal amounts of the Term Loans, as applicable. If sufficient amounts are not available to pay in cash all outstanding Obligations described in any priority level set forth in this Section 2.12, the available amounts shall be applied, unless otherwise expressly specified herein, to such Obligations ratably based on the proportion of the Secured Parties’ interest in such Obligations. Any priority level set forth in this Section 2.12 that includes interest shall include all such interest, whether or not accruing after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or similar proceeding, and whether or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed in any such proceeding. (e) [Reserved]. (f) No Implied Consent. Provisions contained in this Section 2.12 for application of proceeds of certain transactions shall not be deemed to constitute consent of the Lenders to transactions that are not otherwise permitted by the terms hereof. Section 2.13 Payments and Computations. (a) Procedure. The Borrower shall make each payment under any Loan Document not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the day when due to the Administrative Agent by wire transfer to the following account (or at such other account or by such other means to such other address as the Administrative Agent shall have notified the Borrower in writing within a reasonable time prior to such payment) in immediately available Dollars and without setoff or counterclaim: In the case of the Administrative Agent: U.S. Bank, N.A. ABA No.: 091-000-022 Account Number: 1731-0332-1738 Account Name: Ares Capital Corporation Reference: ARCC 786127-740 The Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter cause to be distributed immediately available funds relating to the payment of principal, interest or fees to the applicable Lenders, in accordance with the application of payments set forth in Section 2.12. The Lenders shall make any payment under any Loan Document in immediately available Dollars and without setoff or counterclaim. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall make each payment for the account of any L/C Issuer or Swingline Lender required pursuant to Section 2.3 or 2.4 (A) if the notice or demand therefor was received by such Lender prior to 11:00 a.m. on any Business Day, on such Business Day and (B) otherwise, on the Business Day following such receipt. Payments received by the Administrative Agent after 1:00 p.m. (New York time) shall be deemed to be received on the next Business Day. (b) Computations of Interests and Fees. All computations of interest and of fees shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days and, in the case of Base Rate Loans, 365/366 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest and fees are payable. Each determination of an interest rate or the amount of a fee hereunder shall be made by the Administrative 67 [[NYCORP:3713047v14:05/10/2018--10:17 PM]]
Agent (including determinations of a Eurodollar Rate or Base Rate in accordance with the definitions of “Eurodollar Rate” and “Base Rate”, respectively) and shall be conclusive, binding and final for all purposes, absent manifest error. (c) Payment Dates. Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, the due date for such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day without any increase in such payment as a result of additional interest or fees; provided, however, that such interest and fees shall continue accruing as a result of such extension of time. (d) Advancing Payments. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower to the Lenders prior to the date on which any payment is due hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent that the Borrower shall not have made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon (at the Federal Funds Rate for the first Business Day and thereafter, at the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans under the applicable Facility) for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent. Section 2.14 Evidence of Debt. (a) Records of Lenders. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts evidencing Indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement. In addition, each Lender having sold a participation in any of its Obligations or having identified an SPV as such to the Administrative Agent, acting as agent of the Borrower solely for this purpose and solely for tax purposes, shall establish and maintain at its address referred to in Section 11.11 (or at such other address as such Lender shall notify the Borrower) a record of ownership, in which such Lender shall register by book entry (A) the name and address of each such participant and SPV (and each change thereto, whether by assignment or otherwise) and (B) the rights, interest or obligation of each such participant and SPV in any Obligation, in any Commitment and in any right to receive any payment hereunder. (b) Records of Administrative Agent. (i) The Administrative Agent, acting as agent of the Borrower solely for tax purposes and solely with respect to the actions described in this Section 2.14, shall establish and maintain at its address referred to in Section 11.11 (or at such other address as the Administrative Agent may notify the Borrower) (A) a record of ownership (the “Register”) in which (1) the Administrative Agent agrees to register by book entry the interests (including any rights to receive payment hereunder) of the Administrative Agent and each Term Loan Lender in the Term Loan Obligations, each of their obligations under this Agreement to participate in each Term Loan and any assignment of any such interest, obligation or right, and (2) the Administrative Agent agrees to register by book entry the interests (including any rights to receive payment hereunder) of the Administrative Agent, each Revolving Credit Lender and each L/C Issuer of the Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans and L/C Obligations, each of their obligations under this Agreement to participate in each Revolving Loan, Letter of Credit and L/C Reimbursement Obligation, and any assignment of any such interest, obligation or right and (B) accounts in the applicable Register in accordance with its usual practice in which it shall record (1) the names and addresses of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, as applicable (and each change thereto pursuant to Sections 2.18 (Substitution of Lenders) and 11.2 (Assignments and Participations; Binding Effect)), (2) the Commitments of each applicable Lender, (3) the amount of each Loan and each funding of any participation described in clause (A) above, for Eurodollar Rate Loans, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (4) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or paid with respect to 68 [[NYCORP:3713047v14:05/10/2018--10:17 PM]]
Loans recorded in the applicable Register, (5) the amount of the L/C Reimbursement Obligations due and payable or paid and (6) any other payment received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower and its application to the Obligations. (c) Registered Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Loans (including any Notes evidencing such Loans and, in the case of Revolving Loans, the corresponding obligations to participate in L/C Obligations and Swingline Loans) and the L/C Reimbursement Obligations are registered obligations, the right, title and interest of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers and their assignees in and to such Loans or L/C Reimbursement Obligations, as the case may be, shall be transferable only upon notation of such transfer in the applicable Register and no assignment thereof shall be effective until recorded therein. This Section 2.14 and Section 11.2 shall be construed so that the Loans and L/C Reimbursement Obligations 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 regulations (and any successor provisions). (d) Prima Facie Evidence. The entries made in a Register and in the accounts maintained pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) above shall be conclusive and the Borrower, each Guarantor, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in a Register or such accounts pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder (or the owner of a participation hereunder, as applicable) for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary; provided, however, that no error in such account and no failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain any such account shall affect the obligations of any Loan Party to repay the Loans in accordance with their terms. In addition, the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the applicable Register as a Lender or L/C Issuer, as applicable, for all purposes of this Agreement. Information contained in such Register with respect to any Lender or any L/C Issuer shall be available for access by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such L/C Issuer at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. No Lender or L/C Issuer shall, in such capacity, have access to or be otherwise permitted to review any information in the Register other than information with respect to such Lender or L/C Issuer unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent. (e) Notes. Upon any Lender’s request, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver Notes to such Lender evidencing the Loans of such Lender in a Facility and substantially in the form of Exhibit B; provided, however, that only one Note for each Facility shall be issued to each Lender, except (i) to an existing Lender exchanging existing Notes to reflect changes in the Register relating to such Lender, in which case the new Notes delivered to such Lender shall be dated the date of the original Notes and (ii) in the case of loss, destruction or mutilation of existing Notes and similar circumstances. Each Note, if issued, shall only be issued as means to evidence the right, title or interest of a Lender or a registered assignee in and to the related Loan, as set forth in the Register, and in no event shall any Note be considered a bearer instrument or obligation. Section 2.15 Suspension of Eurodollar Rate Option. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Article II, the following shall apply: (a) Interest Rate Unascertainable, Inadequate or Unfair. In the event that (A) the Administrative Agent determines that adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rates by reference to which the Eurodollar Rate is determined or (B) the Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent that the Eurodollar Rate for any Interest Period will not adequately reflect the cost to the Lenders of making or maintaining such Loans for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon the obligation of each Lender to make or to continue Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended as provided in clause (c) below until the 69 [[NYCORP:3713047v14:05/10/2018--10:17 PM]]
Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower that the Required Lenders have determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist. (b) Illegality. If any Lender determines that the introduction of, or any change in or in the interpretation of, any Requirement of Law after the date of this Agreement shall make it unlawful, or any Governmental Authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make Eurodollar Rate Loans or to continue to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans, then, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, the obligation of such Lender to make or to continue Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended as provided in clause (c) below until such Lender shall, through the Administrative Agent, notify the Borrower that it has determined that it may lawfully make Eurodollar Rate Loans. (c) Effect of Suspension. If the obligation of any Lender to make or to continue Eurodollar Rate Loans is suspended, (A) the obligation of such Lender to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended, (B) such Lender shall make a Base Rate Loan at any time such Lender would otherwise be obligated to make a Eurodollar Rate Loan, (C) the Borrower may revoke any pending Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion or Continuation to make or continue any Eurodollar Rate Loan or to convert any Base Rate Loan into a Eurodollar Rate Loan and (D) each Eurodollar Rate Loan of such Lender shall automatically and immediately (or, in the case of any suspension pursuant to clause (a) above, on the last day of the current Interest Period thereof) be converted into a Base Rate Loan. (d) Alternate Rate of Interest. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) the circumstances set forth in paragraph (a)(A) of this Section have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii) the circumstances set forth in such paragraph (a)(A) have not arisen but the supervisor for the administrator of the Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the Screen Rate shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to that based on the Screen Rate that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the applicable currency and of the applicable type at such time, and the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Required Lenders shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable (but for the avoidance of doubt, such related changes shall not include a reduction of the Applicable Margin); provided that if such alternate rate of interest shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for all purposes of this Agreement. Until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with this paragraph (d) (but, in the case of the circumstances described in paragraph (a)(A) of this Section, only to the extent the Screen Rate for such Interest Period is not available or published at such time on a current basis), paragraph (c) of this Section shall be applicable. Section 2.16 Breakage Costs; Increased Costs; Capital Requirements. (a) Breakage Costs. The Borrower shall compensate each Lender, upon demand from such Lender to such Borrower (with copy to the Administrative Agent), for all Liabilities actually incurred (including, in each case, those incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to prepare to fund, to fund or to maintain the Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender to the Borrower but excluding any loss of the Applicable Margin on the relevant Loans and calculated without regard to any interest rate floor; it being understood that in calculating such Liabilities, such Lender will compare the Eurodollar Rate at the time of setting such rate for the applicable Interest Period and the Eurodollar Rate at the time of the breakage described in the following subclauses (A), (B) or (C), as applicable) that such Lender may incur (A) to the extent, for any reason other than solely by reason of 70 [[NYCORP:3713047v14:05/10/2018--10:17 PM]]
such Lender being a Defaulting Lender, a proposed Borrowing, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion or Continuation or in a similar request made by telephone by the Borrower, (B) to the extent any Eurodollar Rate Loan is paid (whether through a scheduled, optional or mandatory prepayment) or converted to a Base Rate Loan (including because of Section 2.15) on a date that is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period or (C) as a consequence of any failure by the Borrower to repay Eurodollar Rate Loans when required by the terms hereof. (b) Increased Costs. If at any time any Lender or L/C Issuer reasonably determines that, after the date hereof, the adoption of, or any change in or in the interpretation, application or administration of, or compliance with, any Requirement of Law (other than any imposition or increase of Eurodollar Reserve Requirements) from any Governmental Authority shall have the effect of (i) increasing the cost to such Lender of making, funding or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Loan or to agree to do so or of participating, or agreeing to participate, in extensions of credit, (ii) increasing the cost to such L/C Issuer of Issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or of agreeing to do so or (iii) imposing any other cost to such Lender or L/C Issuer with respect to compliance with its obligations under any Loan Document, then, upon demand by such Lender or L/C Issuer (with copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender or L/C Issuer amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or L/C Issuer for such increased cost; provided however that this Section 2.16(b) shall not apply to any increase or imposition of any Taxes, which shall be governed by Section 2.17; and provided further, that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be a change in a Requirement of Law, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued. (c) Increased Capital Requirements. If at any time any Lender or L/C Issuer reasonably determines that, after the date hereof, the adoption of, or any change in or in the interpretation, application or administration of, or compliance with, any Requirement of Law (other than any imposition or increase of Eurodollar Reserve Requirements) from any Governmental Authority regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements, reserves, special deposits, compulsory loans, insurance charges against property of, deposits with or for the account of, Obligations owing to, or other credit extended or participated in by, any Lender or L/C Issuer or any similar requirement (in each case other than any imposition or increase of Eurodollar Reserve Requirements) shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender’s or L/C Issuer (or any corporation controlling such Lender or L/C Issuer) as a consequence of its obligations under or with respect to any Loan Document or Letter of Credit to a level below that which, taking into account the capital adequacy policies of such Lender, L/C Issuer or corporation, such Lender, L/C Issuer or corporation could have achieved but for such adoption or change, then, upon demand from time to time by such Lender or L/C Issuer (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such reduction; provided that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be a change in a Requirement of Law, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued. 71 [[NYCORP:3713047v14:05/10/2018--10:17 PM]]
(d) Compensation Certificate. Each demand for compensation under this Section 2.16 shall be accompanied by a certificate of the Lender or L/C Issuer claiming such compensation, setting forth the amounts to be paid hereunder, which certificate shall be conclusive, binding and final for all purposes, absent manifest error; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or L/C Issuer pursuant to the foregoing clauses (b) and (c) of this Section 3.04 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender or such L/C Issuer notifies the Borrower of the change in Requirement of Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the change in Requirement of Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). In determining such amount, such Lender or L/C Issuer may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. Section 2.17 Taxes. (a) Payments Free and Clear of Taxes. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.17, each payment by any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, deductions, charges or withholdings (including backup withholding), assessments, fees and all liabilities imposed by any Governmental Authority, including any interest, additions to tax or penalties applicable thereto with respect thereto (and without deduction for any of them) (collectively, “Taxes”) other than for (i) Taxes measured by net income (including branch profits Taxes and alternative minimum tax) and franchise Taxes, in each case imposed on any Secured Party as a result of (A) such Secured Party being organized under the laws of, or having its principal office or, in the case of any Lender, its applicable lending office location in, the jurisdiction imposing such Tax or any political subdivision thereof or therein or (B) a present or former connection between such Secured Party and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such Tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than such connection arising solely from any Secured Party having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, any Loan Document), (ii) Taxes that are attributable to the failure by any Secured Party to deliver the documentation required to be delivered pursuant to clause (g) below and (iii) any withholding Tax imposed under FATCA (all Taxes imposed on or with respect to any payment made by or on account of any obligation of the Loan Party under any Loan Document and not excluded by the preceding clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) or the proviso in Section 2.17(b) shall be collectively referred to as “Non-Excluded Taxes”), except as required by applicable law. (b) Gross-Up. If any Taxes shall be required by law to be deducted from or in respect of any amount payable by or on account of a Loan Party under any Loan Document to any Secured Party (i) in the case of Non-Excluded Taxes, such amount shall be increased as necessary to ensure that, after all required deductions for Non-Excluded Taxes are made (including deductions applicable to any increases to any amount under this Section 2.17), such Secured Party receives the amount it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the relevant Loan Party shall make or cause to be made such deductions, (iii) the relevant Loan Party shall timely pay or cause to be paid the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law and (iv) within 30 days after such payment is made, the relevant Loan Party shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Administrative Agent an original or certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment (or such other documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent); provided, however, that no such increase shall be made with respect to, and no Loan Party shall be required to indemnify any Secured Party pursuant to clause (d) below for, withholding Taxes to the extent that the obligation to withhold amounts existed on the date that such Secured Party became a “Secured Party” under this Agreement with respect to the Loan under which such Secured Party makes a claim under this clause (b), except in each case to the extent such Secured Party is a direct or indirect assignee (other than pursuant to Section 2.18 (Substitution of Lenders)) of any other Secured Party that was entitled, at the time the assignment of such other Secured Party became effective, to receive 72 [[NYCORP:3713047v14:05/10/2018--10:17 PM]]
additional amounts under this clause (b) (but only to the extent such other Secured Party was entitled to receive additional amounts under this clause (b)). (c) Other Taxes. In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay, and authorizes the Administrative Agent to pay in its name, any stamp, court or documentary, intangible, recording, filing or similar Taxes imposed by any applicable Requirement of Law or Governmental Authority and all Liabilities with respect thereto (including by reason of any delay in payment thereof), in each case arising from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, or from the receipt or perfection of a security interest under, any Loan Document or any transaction contemplated therein, except any such Taxes that are imposed with respect to an assignment (other than an assignment made pursuant to Section 2.18 (collectively, “Other Taxes”). The Swingline Lender may, without any need for notice, demand or consent from the Borrower, by making funds available to the Administrative Agent in the amount equal to any such payment, make a Swingline Loan to the Borrower in such amount, the proceeds of which shall be used by the Administrative Agent in whole to make such payment. Within 30 days after the date of any payment of (i) Taxes deducted from or in respect of any amount payable under any Loan Document to any Secured Party or (ii) Other Taxes by any Loan Party, the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 11.11, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof (or such other documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent). (d) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall reimburse and indemnify, within 30 days after receipt of demand therefor (with copy to the Administrative Agent), each Secured Party for all Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.17) paid by such Secured Party and any Liabilities arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted; provided, however, the Borrower shall not be obligated to make payment to the Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) for penalties, interest and other liabilities attributable to any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Lender or the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Secured Party (or of the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Secured Party) claiming any compensation under this clause (d), setting forth the amounts to be paid thereunder and delivered to the Borrower with copy to the Administrative Agent, shall be conclusive, binding and final for all purposes, absent manifest error. In determining such amount, the Administrative Agent and such Secured Party may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. (e) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify, within 10 days after demand therefor, (i) the Administrative Agent for any Non-Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Non-Excluded Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) the Administrative Agent and the Loan Parties for any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.2(f) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) the Administrative Agent and the Loan Parties for any Taxes (other than Non-Excluded Taxes) attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or the Loan Parties in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent or a Loan Party shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Loan Parties to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent or the Loan Parties to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent or the Loan Parties under this clause (e). 73 [[NYCORP:3713047v14:05/10/2018--10:17 PM]]
(f) Mitigation. Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.17 shall use its reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies and Requirements of Law) to change the jurisdiction of its lending office if such a change would reduce any such additional amounts (or any similar amount that may thereafter accrue) and would not, in the reasonable determination of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. (g) Tax Forms. (i) Any Secured Party that is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax with respect to payments made under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Secured Party, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Secured Party is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. (ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing: (A) Each Non-U.S. Lender Party that, at any of the following times, is entitled to an exemption from United States withholding tax or is subject to such withholding tax at a reduced rate under an applicable tax treaty, shall (w) on or prior to the date such Non-U.S. Lender Party becomes a “Non-U.S. Lender Party” hereunder, (x) on or prior to the date on which any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete, (y) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form or certification previously delivered by it pursuant to this clause (i) and (z) from time to time if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a participant or SPV, the relevant Lender), provide the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (or, in the case of a participant or SPV, the relevant Lender) with two properly completed and duly executed copies of each of the following, as applicable: (A) Forms W-8ECI (claiming exemption from U.S. withholding tax because the income is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business), W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (claiming exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S. withholding tax under an income tax treaty) or any successor forms and/or W-8IMY (together with any required accompanying forms), (B) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender Party claiming exemption under Sections 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (claiming exemption from U.S. withholding tax under the portfolio interest exemption) or any successor form and a certificate in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent that such Non- U.S. Lender Party is not (1) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (2) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code or (3) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code or (C) any other applicable document prescribed by the IRS certifying as to the entitlement of such Non-U.S. Lender Party to such exemption from United States withholding tax or reduced rate with respect to all payments to be made to such Non-U.S. Lender Party under the Loan Documents. Unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent have received forms or other documents satisfactory to them indicating that payments under any Loan Document to or for a Non-U.S. Lender Party are not subject to United States withholding tax or are subject to such tax at a rate reduced by an applicable tax treaty, the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent shall withhold amounts required to be withheld by applicable Requirements of Law from such payments at the applicable statutory rate. 74 [[NYCORP:3713047v14:05/10/2018--10:17 PM]]
(B) Each U.S. Lender Party shall (A) on or prior to the date such U.S. Lender Party becomes a “U.S. Lender Party” hereunder, (B) on or prior to the date on which any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete, (C) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form or certification previously delivered by it pursuant to this clause (g) and (D) from time to time if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a participant or SPV, the relevant Lender), provide the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (or, in the case of a participant or SPV, the relevant Lender) with two properly completed and duly executed copies of Form W-9 (certifying that such U.S. Lender Party is entitled to an exemption from U.S. backup withholding tax) or any successor form. (iii) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (or, in the case of a participant or SPV, the relevant Lender) at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower 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 Administrative Agent or the Borrower (or, in the case of a participant or SPV, the relevant Lender) as may be necessary for the Administrative Agent or the Borrower (or, in the case of a participant or SPV, the relevant Lender) to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (g), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. (iv) Each Lender having sold a participation in any of its Obligations or identified an SPV as such to the Administrative Agent shall collect from such participant or SPV the documents described in this clause (g) and provide them to the Administrative Agent. (h) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.17 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document. (i) Tax Treatment. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto shall not treat the Loans as “contingent payment debt instruments” as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.1275-4 on their tax returns. (j) Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section (including by the payment of additional amounts paid pursuant to this Section), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph, in no event will any indemnified party be 75 [[NYCORP:3713047v14:05/10/2018--10:17 PM]]
required to pay any amount to any indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph the payment of which would place such indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person. Section 2.18 Substitution of Lenders. (a) Substitution Right. In the event that any Lender in any Facility (an “Affected Lender”), (i) makes a claim under clause (b) (Increased Costs) or (c) (Increased Capital Requirements) of Section 2.16, (ii) notifies the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.15(b) (Illegality) that it becomes illegal for such Lender to continue to fund or make any Eurodollar Rate Loan in such Facility, (iii) makes a claim for payment pursuant to Section 2.17 (Taxes), (iv) becomes a Defaulting Lender or (v) does not consent to any amendment, waiver or consent to any Loan Document for which the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained but that requires the consent of other Lenders in such Facility, the Borrower may (x) terminate all the Commitments of such Lender and repay all the outstanding Loans of such Lender (or terminate the Commitment of such Lender of the applicable tranche and repay all the outstanding Loans of such Lender of the applicable tranche), in each case, without any obligation to terminate any Commitment or prepay any Loan of any other Lender or (y) replace such Lender by requiring such Lender to assign and delegate (and such Lender shall be obligated to assign and delegate), without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 11.2), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (or all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement as a Lender of the applicable tranche) to an assignee permitted by Section 11.2 that assumes such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if any Lender accepts such assignment and delegation) (in each case, a “Substitute Lender”). (b) Procedure. To substitute such Affected Lender or pay in full the Obligations owed to such Affected Lender under such Facility, the Borrower shall deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent and such Affected Lender. The effectiveness of such payment or substitution shall be subject to the delivery to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower (or, as may be applicable in the case of a substitution, by the Substitute Lender) of (i) payment by the Borrower (or, as may be applicable in the case of a substitution, by the Substitute Lender) to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Affected Lender, of, to the extent accrued through, and outstanding on, the effective date for such payment or substitution, all Obligations owing to such Affected Lender with respect to such Facility (including those that will be owed because of such payment and all Obligations that would be owed to such Lender if it was solely a Lender in such Facility), (ii) in the case of a payment in full of the Obligations owing to such Affected Lender in the Revolving Credit Facility, payment to the Administrative Agent of any amount that, after giving effect to the termination of the Commitment of such Affected Lender, is required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.8(d) (Excess Outstandings) and (iii) in the case of a substitution, (A) payment to the Administrative Agent of the assignment fee set forth in Section 11.2(c) and (B) delivery by the Borrower (or, as may be applicable in the case of a substitution, by the Substitute Lender) an assumption agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent whereby the Substitute Lender shall, among other things, agree to be bound by the terms of the Loan Documents and assume the Commitment of the Affected Lender under such Facility. (c) Effectiveness. Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in clause (b) above, the Administrative Agent shall record such substitution or payment in the Register, whereupon (i) in the case of any payment in full in any Facility, such Affected Lender’s Commitments in such Facility shall be terminated and (ii) in the case of any substitution in any Facility, (A) the Affected Lender shall sell and be relieved of, and the Substitute Lender shall purchase and assume, all rights and claims of such Affected 76 [[NYCORP:3713047v14:05/10/2018--10:17 PM]]
Lender under the Loan Documents with respect to such Facility, except that the Affected Lender shall retain such rights expressly providing that they survive the repayment of the Obligations and the termination of the Commitments, (B) the Substitute Lender shall become a “Lender” hereunder having a Commitment in such Facility in the amount of such Affected Lender’s Commitment in such Facility and (C) the Affected Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment to evidence such substitution and deliver any Note in its possession with respect to such Facility; provided, however, that the failure of any Affected Lender to execute any such Assignment or deliver any such Note shall not render such sale and purchase (or the corresponding assignment) invalid. Section 2.19 Incremental Facilities. (a) The Borrower may request (i) prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date, an increase to the existing Revolving Credit Commitments (any such increase, the “Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment”) and (ii) prior to the Term Loan Maturity Date, the establishment of an additional tranche or tranches of term loans under this Agreement or an increase to an existing tranche of term loans (the “Incremental Term Loan Commitment”) in an aggregate outstanding principal amount not to exceed the Incremental Cap; provided that both at the time of any such request and after giving effect to the effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment referred to below, except as provided in Section 1.3(c), no Event of Default shall exist and at the time that any such Incremental Term Loan Commitment or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment is made or effected (and after giving effect thereto) no Event of Default shall exist. (b) (i) Each tranche of Incremental Term Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $5,000,000, (ii) each increase or new tranche of Incremental Revolving Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $5,000,000 and (iii) the aggregate amount of Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments shall not exceed $10,000,000. (c) The Incremental Term Loans: (i) shall rank pari passu in right of payment and of security with the Term Loans; (ii) shall not mature earlier than the Term Loan Maturity Date; (iii) shall not have a shorter Weighted Average Life to Maturity than the Initial Term Loans; (iv) the amortization schedule and Applicable Margin for the Incremental Term Loans shall be determined by the Borrower and the Lenders of the Incremental Term Loans; (v) if the All-In Yield on the Incremental Term Loans shall exceed the All-In Yield at such time on the Term Loans or the Revolving Loans by more than 0.50% (any such excess, the “Yield Differential”) the then Applicable Margin then in effect for the existing Term Loans or Revolving Loans, as applicable, shall automatically be increased by the Yield Differential, effective upon the making of such Incremental Term Loan; (vi) shall be used solely as permitted by Section 7.9(b); (vii) the covenants and events of default applicable to such Indebtedness are either (x) substantially identical to, or (taken as a whole as determined by the Borrower in good 77 [[NYCORP:3713047v14:05/10/2018--10:17 PM]]
faith) no more favorable to the lenders or holders providing such Indebtedness than, those applicable to the Initial Term Loans; provided, that this clause (vii) will not apply to (1) interest rate, fees, funding discounts and other pricing terms, (2) redemption, prepayment or other premiums, (3) optional prepayment terms, and (4) covenants and other terms that are (i) applied to the Term Loans existing at the time of incurrence of such Incremental Term Loans (so that existing Lenders also receive the benefit of such provisions) and/or (ii) applicable only to periods after the latest maturity date of any Term Loans at the time of incurrence of such Incremental Term Loans; provided further, that a certificate of the Borrower delivered to the Administrative Agent at least five Business Days prior to the incurrence of such Incremental Term Loans (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent), together with a reasonably detailed description of the material covenants and events of default of such Indebtedness or drafts of the documentation relating thereto, stating that the Borrower has reasonably determined in good faith that such terms and conditions satisfy the foregoing requirement shall be conclusive evidence that such terms and conditions satisfy the foregoing requirement unless the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower within such five (5) Business Day period that it disagrees with such determination (including a reasonably detailed description of the basis upon which it disagrees); provided, further that the operation and agency provisions contained in the Incremental Amendment shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; (viii) may participate in any voluntary or mandatory prepayment of Term Loans; and (ix) on the date of the Borrowing of any Incremental Term Loans that will be of the same tranche as any then-existing tranche of Term Loans, such Incremental Term Loans shall be added to (and constitute a part of, be of the same tranche as and, at the election of the Borrower, have the same Interest Period as) each Borrowing of outstanding Term Loans of such tranche on a pro rata basis (based on the relative sizes of such Borrowings), so that each Term Loan Lender providing such Incremental Term Loans will participate proportionately in each then-outstanding Borrowing of Term Loans of such tranche; it being acknowledged that the application of this clause (ix) may result in new Incremental Term Loans having Interest Periods (the duration of which may be less than one month) that begin during an Interest Period then applicable to outstanding Term Loans of the relevant tranche and which end on the last day of such Interest Period. (d) Each Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment shall be an increase to the Revolving Credit Commitment. The Incremental Revolving Loans (i) shall rank pari passu in right of payment and of security with the Revolving Loans shall not mature earlier than the Scheduled Revolving Credit Termination Date and (ii) shall be on the same terms and pursuant to the same documentation as the Revolving Loans. (e) No Lender (or any successor thereto) shall have any obligation to issue any commitment for the Incremental Loans, and any decision by a Lender to issue any such commitment shall be made in its sole discretion independently from any other Lender. Existing Lenders will not have any right to participate in, and will not have any right of first refusal or other right to provide all or any portion of, any Incremental Loan except to the extent the Borrower in its discretion, chooses 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). The Borrower may designate any bank or other financial institution or institutional investor (which may be, but need not be, one or more of the existing Lenders) to issue a commitment for the portion of the Incremental Loan as to which such Lender did not issue a commitment, and, if such other bank or other financial institution or institutional investor is not a party to this Agreement (an “Additional Lender”), such Additional Lender shall become a party to this 78 [[NYCORP:3713047v14:05/10/2018--10:17 PM]]
Agreement; provided, however, that any Additional Lender must be acceptable to the Administrative Agent, which acceptance will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed if such consent would be required under Section 11.2 for an assignment of Loans to such Lender or Additional Lender. (f) Commitments in respect of the Incremental Loans shall become Commitments under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower, each Lender agreeing to provide such Commitment, if any, each Additional Lender, if any, and the Administrative Agent. The Incremental Amendment may, subject to clauses (c) and (d) of this Section 2.19, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section. The effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment shall be subject to (in each case except as set forth in Section 1.3(c)) (i) the satisfaction on the date thereof (each, an “Incremental Facility Closing Date”) of each of the conditions set forth in Section 3.2 (it being understood that all references to “the date of such Credit Event” or similar language in such Section 3.2 shall be deemed to refer to the effective date of such Incremental Amendment), (ii) the payment of fees and expenses owing in respect of the Incremental Loans to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and (iii) such other conditions as the parties thereto shall agree. (g) This Section 2.19 shall supersede any provisions in Section 11.1 to the contrary. (h) Upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments, the outstanding Revolving Loans (and participations in outstanding Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans) shall be adjusted as determined by the Administrative Agent so that the Pro Rata Shares of all Revolving Credit Lenders in outstanding Revolving Loans (and participations in outstanding Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans) shall equal their Pro Rata Shares in the Revolving Credit Commitments, in each case, after giving effect to such Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments. (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.19 or in any other provision of any Loan Document, if the proceeds of any Incremental Facility are intended to be applied to finance a Limited Condition Acquisition and the lenders providing such Incremental Facility so agree, the availability thereof shall be subject to customary “SunGard” or “certain funds” conditionality (including the making and accuracy of customary “specified representations” as may be agreed by the Borrower and the lenders providing such Incremental Facility). Section 2.20 Extensions/Modifications of Loans. (a) Extension/Modification Offers. Pursuant to one or more offers (each, an “Extension/Modification Offer”) made from time to time by the Borrower to all Lenders holding Loans and/or Commitments of a particular tranche with a like maturity date, the Borrower may extend such maturity date and/or otherwise modify the terms of such Loans and/or Commitments pursuant to the terms set forth in an Extension/Modification Offer (each, an “Extension/Modification”). Each Extension/Modification Offer will specify the minimum amount of Loans and/or Commitments with respect to which an Extension/Modification Offer may be accepted, which will be an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $5,000,000, or if less, the aggregate principal amount of such Loans outstanding Extension/Modification Offers will be made on a pro rata basis to all Lenders holding Loans and/or Commitments of a particular tranche with a like maturity date. If the aggregate outstanding principal amount of such Loans (calculated on the face amount thereof) and/or Commitments in respect of which Lenders have accepted an Extension/Modification Offer exceeds the maximum aggregate principal amount of Loans and/or Commitments offered to be extended or and/or modified pursuant to such Extension/Modification Offer, then the Loans and/or Commitments of such 79 [[NYCORP:3713047v14:05/10/2018--10:17 PM]]
Lenders will be extended and/or modified ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts (but not to exceed actual holdings of record) with respect to which such Lenders have accepted such Extension/Modification Offer. There is no requirement that any Extension/Modification Offer or Extension/Modification Amendment be subject to any “most favored nation” pricing provisions. The terms of an Extension/Modification Offer shall be determined by the Borrower and Extension/Modification Offers may contain one or more conditions to their effectiveness, including a condition that a minimum amount of Loans and/or Commitments of any or all applicable tranches be tendered. (b) Extension/Modification Amendments. The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (an “Extension/Modification Amendment”) as may be necessary in order to establish new tranches in respect of Extended/Modified Loans and Extended/Modified Commitments and such amendments as permitted by clause (e) below 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 of Loans. This Section 2.20 shall supersede any provisions in Sections 11.1 and 11.9 to the contrary. Extensions and modifications will not constitute a voluntary or mandatory payment or prepayment for purposes of this Agreement. (c) Terms of Extension/Modification Offers and Extension/Modification Amendments. The terms of any Extended/Modified Loans and Extended/Modified Commitments will be set forth in an Extension/Modification Offer and as agreed between the Borrower and the Extended/Modified Lenders accepting such Extension/Modification Offer; provided that: (i) the final maturity date of such Extended/Modified Loans and Extended/Modified Commitments will be no earlier than the Scheduled Maturity Date applicable to the Loans and/or Commitments subject to such Extension/Modification Offer; (ii) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Extended/Modified Loans that are Term Loans will be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term Loans subject to such Extension/Modification Offer; (iii) any Extended/Modified Loans that are Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or a less than pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis) in any voluntary or mandatory repayments or prepayments of Term Loans; (iv) such Extended/Modified Loans and Extended/Modified Commitments are not secured by any assets or property that does not constitute Collateral; (v) such Extended/Modified Loans and Extended/Modified Commitments are not guaranteed by any Subsidiary of the Borrower other than a Guarantor; and (vi) the terms and conditions applicable to Extended/Modified Loans and/or Extended/Modified Commitments substantially identical to, or, taken as a whole, no less favorable to the Group Members (as determined by the Borrower in good faith) than those applicable to the Loans subject to such Extension/Modification Offer; provided further, a certificate of the Borrower delivered to the Administrative Agent at least five Business Days prior to the effectiveness of the Extended/Modified Loans and/or Extended/Modified Commitments, together with a reasonably detailed description of the material covenants of such Extended/Modified Loans and/or Extended/Modified Commitments or drafts of the documentation relating thereto, stating that the Borrower has reasonably determined in good faith 80 [[NYCORP:3713047v14:05/10/2018--10:17 PM]]
that such terms and conditions satisfy the foregoing requirement shall be conclusive evidence that such terms and conditions satisfy the foregoing requirement unless the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower within such five (5) Business Day period that it disagrees with such determination (including a reasonably detailed description of the basis upon which it disagrees); provided, further, that this clause (vi) will not apply: (A) to (1) terms addressed in the preceding clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v), (2) interest rate, fees, funding discounts and other pricing terms, (3) redemption, prepayment or other premiums, (4) optional prepayment terms, (5) redemption terms, and (6) covenants and events of default applicable only to periods after the Scheduled Maturity Date at the time of incurrence of such Indebtedness; or (B) if an Extension/Modification Offer is made to all the Loans and/or Commitments of a particular tranche and all such Loans and/or Commitments are accepted in such Extension/Modification Offer and amended pursuant to the applicable Extension/Modification Amendment. Any Extended/Modified Loans will constitute a separate tranche of Term Loans and/or Revolving Loans from the Term Loans and/or Revolving Loans held by Lenders that did not accept the applicable Extension/Modification Offer. (d) Extension/Modification of Revolving Credit Commitments. In the case of any Extension/Modification of Revolving Credit Commitments and/or Revolving Loans, the following shall apply: (i) all borrowings and all prepayments of Revolving Loans shall continue to be made on a ratable basis among all Revolving Credit Lenders, based on the relative amounts of their Revolving Credit Commitments, until the repayment of the Revolving Loans attributable to the non-extended and/or non-modified Revolving Credit Commitments on the relevant maturity date; (ii) the allocation of the participation exposure with respect to any then- existing or subsequently issued or made Letter of Credit or Swingline Loan as between the Revolving Credit Commitments of such new tranche and the remaining Revolving Credit Commitments shall be made on a ratable basis in accordance with the relative amounts thereof until the maturity date relating to such non-extended and/or non-modified Revolving Credit Commitments has occurred; (iii) no termination of extended and/or modified Revolving Credit Commitments and no repayment of extended and/or modified Revolving Loans accompanied by a corresponding permanent reduction in extended and/or modified Revolving Credit Commitments shall be permitted unless such termination or repayment (and corresponding reduction) is accompanied by at least a pro rata termination or permanent repayment (and corresponding pro rata permanent reduction), as applicable, of each other tranche of Revolving Loans and Revolving Credit Commitments (or each other tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Loans shall have otherwise been terminated and repaid in full); and (iv) the Scheduled Revolving Credit Termination Date with respect to the Revolving Credit Commitments may not be extended and/or modified without the prior written consent of the L/C Issuer and the Swingline Lender; 81 [[NYCORP:3713047v14:05/10/2018--10:17 PM]]
(e) Required Consents. No consent of any Lender or any other Person will be required to effectuate any Extension/Modification, other than the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or condition), the Borrower and the applicable Extending/Modifying Lender. The transactions contemplated by this Section 2.20 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended/Modified Loans on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension/Modification Offer) will not require the consent of any other Lender or any other Person, and the requirements of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any such Extension/Modification or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.20 will not apply to any of the transactions effected pursuant to this Section 2.20. Section 2.21 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law: (a) Waivers and Amendments.

Whenever the Loan Documents require any Loan Party or any Affiliate of any Loan Party to send notice, financial information or other deliveries to Administrative Agent including, without limitation, pursuant to Article 6 of this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall promptly make deliveries available to the Lenders. 133 [[NYCORP:3713047v14:05/10/2018--10:17 PM]]
Section 10.8 Expenses; Indemnities. (a) Each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent and each of its Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by any Loan Party) promptly upon demand for such Lender’s Pro Rata Share with respect to the Facilities of any costs and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of financial, legal and other advisors and Other Taxes paid in the name of, or on behalf of, any Loan Party) that may be incurred by the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Persons in connection with the preparation, syndication, execution, delivery, administration, modification, consent, waiver or enforcement of, or the taking of any other action (whether through negotiations, through any work-out, bankruptcy, restructuring or other legal or other proceeding (including preparation for and/or response in any subpoena or request for document production relating thereto) or otherwise) in respect of, or legal advice with respect to its rights or responsibilities under, any Loan Document. (b) Each Lender further agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each of its Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by any Loan Party) from and against such Lender’s aggregate Pro Rata Share with respect to the Facilities of the Liabilities (including taxes, interests and penalties imposed for not properly withholding or backup withholding on payments made to on or for the account of any Lender) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Persons in any matter relating to or arising out of, in connection with or as a result of any Loan Document, any related document, or any other act, event or transaction related, contemplated in or attendant to any such document, or, in each case, any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Persons under or with respect to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable to the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Persons to the extent such liability has resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or, as the case may be, such Related Person, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment or order. (c) 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 any payment is made to any Lender by the Administrative Agent without the applicable withholding Tax being withheld from such payment and the Administrative Agent has paid over the applicable withholding Tax to the IRS or any other Governmental Authority, or the IRS 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. The Administrative Agent may offset against any payment to any Lender under a Loan Document, any applicable withholding Tax that was required to be withheld from any prior payment to such Lender but which was not so withheld, as well as any other amounts for which the Administrative Agent is entitled to indemnification from such Lender under this Section 10.8(c).

If the Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender or an Affiliate of a Defaulting Lender, either the Required 134 [[NYCORP:3713047v14:05/10/2018--10:17 PM]]
Lenders or the Borrower may, upon 10 days’ notice, remove the Administrative Agent; provided that if no successor agent is appointed in accordance with the terms set forth below within such 10-day period, the Administrative Agent’s removal shall, at the option of the Borrower, not be effective until the earlier to occur of (x) the date of the appointment of the successor agent or (y) the date that is 20 days after the last day of such 10-day period. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation or delivery of any such notice of removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a financial institution with offices in the U.S. having combined capital and surplus in excess of $1,000,000,000 or another Person reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. If no successor has been appointed as provided above and accepted such appointment within 10 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation or the Administrative Agent receives notice of removal, no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed by the Required Lenders that has accepted such appointment, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent from among the Lenders. Each appointment under this clause (a) shall be subject to the prior consent of the Borrower, which may not be unreasonably withheld but shall not be required during the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 9.1(a) or (d). (b) Effective immediately upon its resignation, (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents, (ii) the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent until a successor Administrative Agent shall have accepted a valid appointment hereunder, (iii) the retiring Administrative Agent and its Related Persons shall no longer have the benefit of any provision of any Loan Document other than with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken while such retiring Administrative Agent was, or because such Administrative Agent had been, validly acting as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents and (iv) subject to its rights under Section 10.3, the retiring Administrative Agent shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to assign to the successor Administrative Agent its rights as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents. Effective immediately upon its acceptance of a valid appointment as Administrative Agent, a successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to, and become vested with, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents. (c) Any L/C Issuer may resign at any time by delivering notice of such resignation to the Administrative Agent, effective on the date set forth in such notice or, if no such date is set forth therein, on the date such notice shall be effective. Upon such resignation, the L/C Issuer shall remain an L/C Issuer and shall retain its rights and obligations in its capacity as such (other than any obligation to Issue Letters of Credit but including the right to receive fees or to have Lenders participate in any L/C Reimbursement Obligation thereof) with respect to Letters of Credit Issued by such L/C Issuer prior to the date of such resignation and shall otherwise be discharged from all other duties and obligations under the Loan Documents.

Each Lender and L/C Issuer hereby directs the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent hereby agrees, upon receipt of reasonable advance notice from the Borrower, to execute and deliver or file such documents and to perform other actions reasonably necessary to release the guaranties and Liens when and as directed in this Section 10.10. Section 10.11 Additional Secured Parties. The benefit of the provisions of the Loan Documents directly relating to the Collateral or any Lien granted thereunder shall extend to and be available to any Secured Party that is not a Lender or L/C Issuer as long as, by accepting such benefits, such Secured Party agrees, as among the Administrative Agent and all other Secured Parties, that such Secured Party is bound by (and, if requested by the Administrative Agent, (except in the case of Secured Hedging Counterparties) shall confirm such agreement in a writing in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent) this Article X, Section 11.8 (Right of Setoff), Sections 11.9 (Sharing of Payments) and 11.20 (Confidentiality) and the decisions and actions of the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders (or, where expressly required by the terms of this Agreement, a greater proportion of the Lenders) to the same extent a Lender is bound; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) such Secured Party shall be bound by Section 10.8 only to the extent of Liabilities, costs and expenses with respect to or otherwise relating to the Collateral held for the benefit of such Secured Party, in which case the obligations of such Secured Party thereunder shall not be limited by any concept of Pro Rata Share or similar concept, (b) except as set forth specifically herein, each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers shall be entitled to act at its sole discretion, without regard to the interest of such Secured Party, regardless of whether any Obligation to such Secured Party thereafter remains outstanding, is deprived of the benefit of the Collateral, becomes unsecured or is otherwise affected or put in jeopardy thereby, and without any duty or liability to such Secured Party or any such Obligation and (c) except as set forth specifically herein, such Secured Party shall not have any right to be notified of, consent to, direct, require or be heard with respect to, any action taken or omitted in respect of the Collateral or under any Loan Document. Section 10.12 Intercreditor Agreements. Each Secured Party hereby directs the Administrative Agent to enter into (a) any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement (or any amendment, restatement, supplement or other modification thereto) in respect of any Indebtedness, Banking Services Obligations or Obligations in respect of Secured Hedging Agreements that, pursuant to the terms hereof, (i) is required or permitted to be subordinated in right of payment and/or (ii) is secured by Liens, and with respect to which, this Agreement contemplates an intercreditor, subordination or similar agreement or arrangement.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver, consent or other modification hereunder, except that (i) the Commitment of such Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender (it being understood that any Commitments or Loans held or deemed held by any Defaulting Lender shall be excluded from a vote of the Lenders hereunder requiring any consent of the Lenders), (ii) the principal of such Lender’s Loans shall not be reduced or forgiven without the consent of such Lender and (iii) the interest rate applicable to Obligations owing to a Defaulting Lender may not be reduced without the consent of such Lender (unless the applicable amendment, waiver or consent has been consented to by all non-Defaulting Lenders and does not treat the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender in a disproportionately adverse manner as compared to the Obligations owing to non-Defaulting Lenders). (d) In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders providing the Replacement Loans (as defined below) to permit the refinancing of all outstanding Term Loans of any 138 [[NYCORP:3713047v14:05/10/2018--10:17 PM]]
tranche (“Refinanced Loans”) with replacement term loans (“Replacement Loans”); provided that (a) the aggregate principal amount of such Replacement Loans shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of such Refinanced Loans (plus (1) any additional amounts permitted to be incurred under Section 8.1; provided that, to the extent any such additional amounts are secured, the related Liens are permitted under Section 8.2, and (2) the amount of accrued interest, penalties and premium (including tender premium) thereon, any committed but undrawn amount and underwriting discounts, fees (including upfront fees, original issue discount or initial yield payments), commissions and expenses associated therewith), (b) the All-In Yield with respect to such Replacement Loans (or similar interest rate spread applicable to such Replacement Loans) shall not be higher than the All-In Yield for such Refinanced Loans (or similar interest rate spread applicable to such Refinanced Loans) immediately prior to such refinancing, (c) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Replacement Loans shall not be shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Refinanced Loans at the time of such refinancing (except by virtue of amortization or prepayment of the Refinanced Loans prior to the time of such incurrence), (d) any Replacement Loans may rank pari passu with or junior to any then-existing tranche of Term Loans in right of payment and/or security or may be unsecured (and to the extent the relevant Replacement Loans are subordinated in right of payment or are secured by Collateral, they shall be subject to an Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement), (e) any Replacement Loans may participate in any mandatory prepayment of Term Loans and (f) all other terms and conditions (other than with respect to pricing, premiums and optional prepayment or redemption terms) applicable to such Replacement Loans shall be (i) substantially identical to, or (taken as a whole as determined by the Borrower in its reasonable judgment) are no more favorable to the lenders or holders providing such Replacement Loans than those applicable to the Refinanced Loans, except to the extent necessary to provide for covenants and other terms applicable to any period after the latest Scheduled Maturity Date of the Loans in effect immediately prior to such refinancing or (ii) reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (it being agreed that terms and conditions of any Replacement Loans that are more favorable to the Lenders of such Replacement Loans than those contained in the Loan Documents and are then conformed (or added) to the Loan Documents pursuant to the applicable amendment shall be deemed acceptable to the Administrative Agent). (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 11.1 or any other provision of this Agreement or any provision of any other Loan Document: (i) the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may, without the input or consent of any Lender, amend, supplement and/or waive any Collateral Document to (A) comply with any Requirement of Law or the advice of counsel or (B) cause such Collateral Document to be consistent with this Agreement and/or the relevant other Loan Documents, (ii) the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may, without the input or consent of any other Lender (other than the relevant Lenders (including Incremental Loan Lenders) providing Loans under such Sections), effect amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary in the reasonable opinion of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to (A) effect the provisions of Section 2.19, 2.20 or 11.19, or any other provision specifying that any waiver, amendment or modification may be made with the consent or approval of the Administrative Agent and/or (B) add terms (including representations and warranties, conditions, prepayments, covenants or events of default and terms contemplated by the definition of “Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement”), in connection with the addition of any Loan or Commitment hereunder, any Incremental Equivalent Debt or any Replacement Loans that are favorable to the then-existing Lenders (taken as a whole), as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent (it being understood that, where applicable, any such amendment may be effectuated as part of an Incremental Amendment, Extension/Modification Amendment and/or an amendment in respect of Replacement Loans); 139 [[NYCORP:3713047v14:05/10/2018--10:17 PM]]
(iii) if the Administrative Agent and the Borrower have jointly identified any ambiguity, mistake, defect, inconsistency, obvious error or any error or omission of a technical nature or any necessary or desirable technical change, in each case, in any provision of any Loan Document, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision solely to address such matter as reasonably determined by them acting jointly, (iv) the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend, restate, amend and restate, supplement or otherwise modify any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement as provided therein, (v) this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (i) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit any extension of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the relevant benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders and/or Required Revolving Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Lenders prior to such inclusion; provided that no additional revolving credit facilities may be added and no change to the definition or determination of Required Revolving Lenders may be made without the consent of the Required Revolving Lenders, and (vi) any amendment, waiver or modification of any term or provision that directly affects Lenders under one or more tranches and does not directly affect Lenders under one or more other tranches may be effected with the consent of Lenders owning 50% of the aggregate unused Commitments and Term Loans of such directly affected tranche in lieu of the consent of the Required Lenders. Section 11.2 Assignments and Participations; Binding Effect. (a) Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by Holdings, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender, and when the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by each Lender and L/C Issuer that such Lender or L/C Issuer has executed it. Thereafter, it shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of, but only to the benefit of, Holdings, the Borrower (in each case except for Article X), the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender, each Lender and L/C Issuer and, to the extent provided in Section 10.11, each other Indemnitee and Secured Party and, in each case, their respective successors and permitted assigns. Except as expressly provided in any Loan Document (including in Section 10.9), none of Holdings, the Borrower, any Lender, any L/C Issuer, the Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent shall have the right to assign any rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein. (b) Right to Assign. Each Lender may sell, transfer, negotiate or assign (a “Transfer”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations hereunder (including all or a portion of its Commitments and its rights and obligations with respect to Loans and Letters of Credit) to: (i) any existing Lender (other than the Borrower, the Permitted Investors or any of their respective Affiliates except pursuant to a Permitted Loan Retirement or pursuant to Section 11.2(h) or an assignment to an Affiliated Lender to the extent expressly permitted under Section 11.2(g)); (ii) any Affiliate or Approved Fund of any existing Lender (other than the Borrower, the Permitted Investors or any of their respective Affiliates except pursuant to a Permitted Loan Retirement, pursuant to Section 11.2(h) or an assignment to an Affiliated Lender 140 [[NYCORP:3713047v14:05/10/2018--10:17 PM]]
to the extent expressly permitted under Section 11.2(g)) or (iii) any other Eligible Assignee (other than the Borrower, the Permitted Investors or any of their respective Affiliates except pursuant to a Permitted Loan Retirement or an assignment to an Affiliated Lender to the extent expressly permitted under Section 11.2(g)), acceptable (which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to the Administrative Agent and, as long as no Event of Default under Section 9.1(a) or 9.1(d) has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower (which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that (x) such Transfers do not have to be ratable between the Facilities but must be ratable among the obligations owing to and owed by such Lender with respect to a Facility, (y) for each Facility, the aggregate outstanding principal amount (determined as of the effective date of the applicable Assignment) of the Loans, Commitments and L/C Obligations subject to any such Transfer shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000, unless such Transfer is of the assignor’s (together with its Affiliates and Approved Funds) entire interest in such Facility or is made with the prior consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and (z) no Transfers may be made to a Disqualified Lender unless an Event of Default under Section 9.1(d) has occurred and is continuing. To the extent that any Transfer is purported to be made to a Disqualified Lender in violation of the foregoing clause (z), such Disqualified Lender shall be required immediately (and in any event within five (5) Business Days) to assign all Loans and Commitments then owned by such Disqualified Lender to another Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) or person permitted to become a Lender pursuant to this Section 11.2 (and the Borrower shall be entitled to seek specific performance in regards to this sentence). As to Transfers requiring the Administrative Agent’s consent, the withholding of such consent for Transfers to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates (other than an Affiliated Lender in accordance with Section 11.2(g)) or to a holder of Subordinated Debt issued by the Borrower or any of its Affiliates (other than an Affiliated Lender in accordance with Section 11.2(g)) shall not be deemed to be unreasonable. (c) Procedure. The parties to each Transfer made in reliance on clause (b) above (other than those described in clause (e) or (f) below) shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment via an electronic settlement system designated by the Administrative Agent (or if previously agreed with the Administrative Agent, via a manual execution and delivery of the assignment) evidencing such Transfer, together with any existing Note subject to such Transfer (or any affidavit of loss therefor acceptable to the Administrative Agent), any tax forms required to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.17(g) and payment of an assignment fee in the amount of $3,500, provided that (1) if a Transfer by a Lender is made to an Affiliate or an Approved Fund of such assigning Lender, then no assignment fee shall be due in connection with such Transfer, and (2) if a Transfer by a Lender is made to an assignee that is not an Affiliate or Approved Fund of such assignor Lender, and concurrently to one or more Affiliates or Approved Funds of such assignee, then only one assignment fee of $3,500 shall be due in connection with such Transfer. Upon receipt of all the foregoing, and conditioned upon such receipt and, if such assignment is made in accordance with Section 11.2(b)(iii), upon the Administrative Agent (and the Borrower, if applicable) consenting to such Assignment, from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment, the Administrative Agent shall record or cause to be recorded in the Register the information contained in such Assignment. (d) Effectiveness. Subject to the recording of an Assignment by the Administrative Agent in the Register pursuant to Section 2.14(b), (i) the assignee thereunder shall become a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations under the Loan Documents have been assigned to such assignee pursuant to such Assignment, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender, (ii) any applicable Note shall be transferred to such assignee through such entry and (iii) the assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations under this Agreement have been assigned by it pursuant to 141 [[NYCORP:3713047v14:05/10/2018--10:17 PM]]
such Assignment, relinquish its rights (except for those surviving the termination of the Commitments and the payment in full of the Obligations) and be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents, other than those relating to events or circumstances occurring prior to such assignment (and, in the case of an Assignment covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto except that each Lender agrees to remain bound by Article X, Section 11.8 (Right of Setoff) and 11.9 (Sharing of Payments) to the extent provided in Section 10.11 (Additional Secured Parties)). (e) Grant of Security Interests. In addition to the other rights provided in this Section 11.2, each Lender may grant a security interest in, or otherwise assign as collateral, any of its rights under this Agreement, whether now owned or hereafter acquired (including rights to payments of principal or interest on the Loans), to (A) any federal reserve bank (pursuant to Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Board), without notice to the Administrative Agent or (B) any holder of, or trustee for the benefit of the holders of, such Lender’s Securities by notice to the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that no such holder or trustee, whether because of such grant or assignment or any foreclosure thereon (unless such foreclosure is made through an assignment in accordance with clause (b) above), shall be entitled to any rights of such Lender hereunder and no such Lender shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder. (f) Participants and SPVs. In addition to the other rights provided in this Section 11.2, each Lender may, (x) with notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, grant to an SPV the option to make all or any part of any Loan that such Lender would otherwise be required to make hereunder (and the exercise of such option by such SPV and the making of Loans pursuant thereto shall satisfy the obligation of such Lender to make such Loans hereunder) and such SPV may assign to such Lender the right to receive payment with respect to any Obligation and (y) without notice to or consent from the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, sell participations to one or more Eligible Assignees in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents (including all its rights and obligations with respect to the Term Loans, Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit); provided, however, that, whether as a result of any term of any Loan Document or of such grant or participation, (i) no such SPV or participant shall have a commitment, or be deemed to have made an offer to commit, to make Loans hereunder, and, except as provided in the applicable option agreement, none shall be liable for any obligation of such Lender hereunder, (ii) such Lender’s rights and obligations, and the rights and obligations of the Loan Parties and the Secured Parties towards such Lender, under any Loan Document shall remain unchanged and each other party hereto shall continue to deal solely with such Lender, which shall remain the holder of the Obligations in the Register, except that (A) each such participant and SPV shall be entitled to the benefit of Sections 2.16 (Breakage Costs; Increased Costs; Capital Requirements) and 2.17 (Taxes), but only to the extent such participant or SPV delivers the tax forms such Lender is required to collect pursuant to Section 2.17(g) and then only to the extent of any amount to which such Lender would be entitled in the absence of any such grant or participation and (B) each such SPV may receive other payments that would otherwise be made to such Lender with respect to Loans funded by such SPV to the extent provided in the applicable option agreement and set forth in a notice provided to the Administrative Agent by such SPV and such Lender, provided, however, that in no case (including pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above) shall an SPV or participant have the right to enforce any of the terms of any Loan Document, and (iii) the consent of such SPV or participant shall not be required (either directly, as a restraint on such Lender’s ability to consent hereunder or otherwise) for any amendments, waivers or consents with respect to any Loan Document or to exercise or refrain from exercising any powers or rights such Lender may have under or in respect of the Loan Documents (including the right to enforce or direct enforcement of the Obligations), except for those described in clauses (ii) and (iii) of Section 11.1(a) with respect to amounts, or dates fixed for payment of amounts, to which such participant or SPV would otherwise be entitled and, in the case of participants, except for those described in Section 11.1(a)(iv) (or amendments, consents and waivers with respect to Section 10.10 to release all or 142 [[NYCORP:3713047v14:05/10/2018--10:17 PM]]
substantially all of the Collateral). No party hereto shall institute (and each of Borrower and Holdings shall cause each other Loan Party not to institute) against any SPV grantee of an option pursuant to this clause (f) any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, liquidation or similar proceeding, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper of such SPV; provided, however, that each Lender having designated an SPV as such agrees to indemnify each Indemnitee against any Liability that may be incurred by, or asserted against, such Indemnitee as a result of failing to institute such proceeding (including a failure to get reimbursed by such SPV for any such Liability). The agreement in the preceding sentence shall survive the termination of the Commitments and the payment in full of the Obligations. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an 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 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. (g) Affiliated Lenders. (i) In addition to the other rights provided in this Section 11.2, each Lender may assign all or a portion of any of its Term Loans to any Person who, after giving effect to such assignment, would be an Affiliated Lender (without the consent of any Person but subject to acknowledgment by the Administrative Agent (which acknowledgment shall be provided promptly after request therefor)) on a non-pro rata basis (A) through Permitted Loan Retirements or (B) through open market purchases; provided that: (A) the assigning Lender and the Affiliated Lender purchasing such Lender’s tranche or tranches of Term Loans shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an assignment agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit I hereto (an “Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption”), it being understood that each Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption (other than with respect to an assignment to an Affiliated Debt Fund) shall, among other things, provide for a power of attorney in favor of the Administrative Agent to vote the claims in respect of Term Loans held by such Affiliated Lender in an Insolvency Proceeding as provided in clause (iv) of this subsection 11.2(g); (B) for the avoidance of doubt, Lenders shall not be permitted to assign any tranche of Revolving Loan Commitments or Revolving Loans to an Affiliated Lender and any purported assignment of any tranche of Revolving Loan Commitments or Revolving Loans to an Affiliated Lender shall be null and void; (C) at the time of such assignment and after giving effect to such assignment, the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans held by all Affiliated Lenders (other than Affiliated Debt Funds) (or in which Affiliated Lenders have a 143 [[NYCORP:3713047v14:05/10/2018--10:17 PM]]
participation) shall not exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of all Term Loans outstanding under this Agreement. (ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Affiliated Lender (other than an Affiliated Debt Fund) shall have any right to (A) attend (including by telephone) any meeting or discussions (or portion thereof) among the Administrative Agent or any Lender to which representatives of the Loan Parties are not invited or (B) receive any information or material prepared by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any communication by or among the Administrative Agent and/or one or more Lenders, except to the extent such information or materials have been made available to any Loan Party or any representative of any Loan Party. (iii) Notwithstanding anything in Section 11.1 or the definition of “Required Lenders” to the contrary, for purposes of determining whether the Required Lenders, all affected Lenders or all Lenders have (A) consented (or not consented) to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Loan Document or any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, (B) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document or (C) directed or required the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Loan Document, an Affiliated Lender (other than Affiliated Debt Fund) shall be deemed to have voted its interest as a Lender without discretion in the same proportion as the allocation of voting with respect to such matter by Lenders who are not Affiliated Lenders (other than Affiliated Debt Funds); provided that, without the consent of an Affiliated Lender, no such amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action shall (1) increase any Commitment of such Affiliated Lender, (2) extend the due date for any scheduled installment of principal (including the maturity date) of any Term Loan held by such Affiliated Lender, (3) extend the due date for interest under the Loan Documents owed to such Affiliated Lender, (4) reduce any amount owing to such Affiliated Lender under any Loan Document or (5) disproportionately adversely affect such Affiliated Lender differently than other similarly situated Lenders, in each case except as provided in clause (iv) of this subsection 11.2(g); and provided, further, that each Affiliated Lender shall receive its ratable portion of any fee received in respect of any such amendment, modification, waiver or consent. (iv) Each Affiliated Lender (other than an Affiliated Debt Fund), solely in its capacity as a holder of any tranche of Term Loans, hereby agrees, and each Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption shall provide a confirmation that, if any Loan Party shall be subject to any Insolvency Proceeding, with respect to any matter requiring the vote of holders of any tranche of Term Loans during the pendency of an Insolvency Proceeding (including voting on any plan of reorganization pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §1126), such Affiliated Lender irrevocably authorizes and empowers Administrative Agent to vote and/or object on behalf of such Affiliated Lender in connection with any plan of reorganization with respect to the Loans held by such Affiliated Lender in accordance with clause (iii) above of this subsection 11.2(g) (without regard to clauses (2), (3) and (4) of the proviso to such clause (iii)); provided that each Affiliated Lender shall be entitled to vote or object in its sole discretion (and not in accordance with the direction of Administrative Agent) in accordance with clause (iii) of this subsection 11.2(g), including in connection with any plan of reorganization, to the extent any such plan of reorganization proposes to treat any Term Loans held by such Affiliated Lender in a manner that is more adverse to the interests of such Affiliated Lender than the proposed treatment of Term Loans held by other Lenders that are not Affiliated Lenders is to the interests of such other Lenders. For the avoidance of doubt, the Lenders and each Affiliated Lender agree and acknowledge that the provisions set forth in this clause (iv), and the related provisions set forth in each Affiliated 144 [[NYCORP:3713047v14:05/10/2018--10:17 PM]]
Lender Assignment and Assumption, constitute a “subordination agreement” as such term is contemplated by, and utilized in, Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, and, as such, would be enforceable for all purposes in any case where a Loan Party has filed for protection under the Bankruptcy Code. (v) For purposes of determining whether the Required Lenders have consented to any amendment or waiver under Section 11.1, the aggregate amount of Loans held by Affiliated Debt Funds will be excluded to the extent in excess of 49.9% of the amount required to constitute Required Lenders. (h) Any Lender may, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations with respect to the Term Loans and the Term Loan Commitments under this Agreement to Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries through (x) Permitted Loan Retirements or (y) open market purchase on a non-pro rata basis; provided that: (i) (x) if the assignee is Holdings or a Subsidiary of the Borrower, upon such assignment, transfer or contribution, the applicable assignee shall automatically be deemed to have contributed or transferred the principal amount of such Term Loans and Term Loan Commitments, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, to the Borrower; or (y) if the assignee is the Borrower (including through contribution or transfers set forth in clause (x)), (a) the principal amount of such Term Loans and Term Loan Commitment, along with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, so contributed, assigned or transferred to the Borrower shall be deemed automatically cancelled and extinguished on the date of such contribution, assignment or transfer, (b) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Term Loans and Term Loan Commitments of the remaining Lenders shall reflect such cancellation and extinguishing of the Term Loans and Term Loan Commitments then held by the Borrower and (c) the Borrower shall promptly provide notice to the Administrative Agent of such contribution, assignment or transfer of such Term Loans and Term Loan Commitments, and the Administrative Agent, upon receipt of such notice, shall reflect the cancellation of the applicable Term Loans in the Register; and (ii) purchases of Term Loans and Term Loan Commitments pursuant to this subsection (l) may not be funded with the proceeds of Revolving Loans. Section 11.3 Costs and Expenses. Any action taken by any Loan Party under or with respect to any Loan Document, even if required under any Loan Document or at the request of any Secured Party, shall be at the expense of such Loan Party, and no Secured Party shall be required under any Loan Document to reimburse any Loan Party or Group Member therefor except as expressly provided therein. In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay or reimburse upon presentation of a reasonably detailed statement (a) the Administrative Agent for all actual reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by it or any of its Related Persons in connection with the investigation, development, preparation, negotiation, syndication, execution, interpretation or administration of, any modification of any term of or termination of, any Loan Document, any commitment or proposal letter therefor, any other document prepared in connection therewith or the consummation and administration of any transaction contemplated therein (including periodic audits in connection therewith), in each case including the actual reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of one legal counsel to the Administrative Agent and such Related Persons, taken as a whole (and one legal counsel in any material local jurisdiction, to the extent necessary, to all such Persons), fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with Intralinks® or any other E-System and allocated to the Facilities by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion and fees, charges and disbursements of the auditors, appraisers and other of their Related Persons retained by or on behalf of any of them or any of their Related Persons, (b) Administrative Agent 145 [[NYCORP:3713047v14:05/10/2018--10:17 PM]]
for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by it or any of its Related Persons in connection with internal audit reviews, field examinations and Collateral examinations to the extent such review or examination is (x) conducted in connection with an inspection required to be reimbursed by the Borrower under Section 7.7 or (y) is commenced during the continuation of an Event of Default (which review or examination shall be reimbursed, in addition to the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of such examiners, at the per diem rate per individual charged by such Agent for its examiners) and (c) the Administrative Agent, its Related Persons, and each Lender and L/C Issuer for all actual reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with (i) any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided hereunder in the nature of a “work-out”, (ii) the enforcement or preservation of any right or remedy under any Loan Document, any Obligation, with respect to the Collateral or any other related right or remedy or (iii) the commencement, defense, conduct of, intervention in, or the taking of any other action with respect to, any proceeding (including any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding) related to any Group Member, Loan Document, Obligation or Related Transaction (or the response to and preparation for any subpoena or request for document production relating thereto), including actual reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of counsel, limited to one legal counsel to the Administrative Agent, its Related Persons and each Lender and L/C Issuer, taken as a whole (and appropriate local counsel in each material jurisdiction, to the extent necessary, to all such Persons). Section 11.4 Indemnities. (a) The Borrower agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Administrative Agent, each Lender, each L/C Issuer, each Secured Hedging Counterparty and each of their respective Related Persons (each such Person being an “Indemnitee”) from and against all losses, disputes, claims, damages, and liabilities of any kind (including, without limitation, any environmental liabilities) which may be incurred by, or asserted against, any such Indemnitee in connection with (i) any Loan Document, any related document, any Disclosure Document, any Obligation (or the repayment thereof), any Letter of Credit, the use or intended use of the proceeds of any Loan or the use of any Letter of Credit, any Related Transaction, or any securities filing of, or with respect to, any Group Member, (ii) any actual or prospective investigation, litigation or other proceeding, whether or not brought by any such Indemnitee or any of its Related Persons, any holders of Securities or creditors (and including attorneys’ fees in any case), whether or not any such Indemnitee, Related Person, holder or creditor is a party thereto, and whether or not based on any securities or commercial law or regulation or any other Requirement of Law or theory thereof, including common law, equity, contract, tort or otherwise, or (iii) any other act, event or transaction related, contemplated in or attendant to any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Indemnified Matters”); provided, however, that the Borrower shall not have any liability under this Section 11.4 to any Indemnitee with respect to any Indemnified Matter, and no Indemnitee shall have any liability with respect to any Indemnified Matter other than (to the extent otherwise liable), to the extent such liability has resulted from (1) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or its Related Persons, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment or order, (2) a material breach of any obligations of such Indemnitee under any Loan Document by such Indemnitee or its Related Persons as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment or order or (3) arises out of any litigation, investigation or proceeding brought by such Indemnitee against another Indemnitee (other than any litigation, investigation or proceeding that is brought by or against the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer or the Lead Arranger, acting in its capacity as such) that does not involve any act or omission of Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; provided, further that, in the case of legal fees and expenses of the Indemnitees, the Borrower shall not have any liability for the reimbursement of more than one outside counsel (and, in the event of an actual conflict between or among an Indemnitee or Indemnitees where the applicable Indemnitee or Indemnitees inform the Borrower in writing of such conflict, one additional outside counsel, as may be reasonably required, to all affected Indemnitees, taken as a whole) and one local counsel in each relevant material jurisdiction as may be reasonably required (which may include a single special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions). Each Indemnitee shall be 146 [[NYCORP:3713047v14:05/10/2018--10:17 PM]]
obligated to refund or return any and all amounts paid by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 11.4 to such Indemnitee to the extent such Indemnitee is not entitled to payment thereof in accordance with the terms hereof. In the case of reimbursement of costs and expenses, such amounts shall be payable by the Borrower after receipt by the Borrower of an invoice setting forth such costs and expenses in reasonable detail, together with backup documentation supporting the relevant reimbursement request. This paragraph shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims or damages arising from any non-Tax claim. (b) Without limiting the foregoing, “Indemnified Matters” includes all Environmental Liabilities, including those arising from, or otherwise involving, any property of any Related Person or any actual, alleged or prospective damage to property or natural resources or harm or injury alleged to have resulted from any Release of Hazardous Materials on, upon or into such property or natural resource or any property on or contiguous to any real property of any Related Person, whether or not, with respect to any such Environmental Liabilities, any Indemnitee is a mortgagee pursuant to any leasehold mortgage, a mortgagee in possession, the successor-in-interest to any Related Person or the owner, lessee or operator of any property of any Related Person through any foreclosure action, in each case except to the extent such Environmental Liabilities (i) are incurred solely following foreclosure by any Secured Party or following any Secured Party having become the successor-in-interest to any Loan Party and (ii) are attributable solely to acts of such Indemnitee. (c) The Borrower shall not be liable for any settlement of any litigation, investigation or proceeding effected without the written consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), but if any litigation, investigation or proceeding is settled with the written consent of the Borrower, or if there is a final judgment against any Indemnitee in any such litigation, investigation or proceeding, the Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee to the extent and in the manner set forth in paragraph (a) above. Section 11.5 Survival. Any indemnification or other protection provided to any Indemnitee pursuant to any Loan Document (including pursuant to Section 2.16 (Breakage Costs; Increased Costs; Capital Requirements), Section 2.17 (Taxes), Article X (The Administrative Agent), Section 11.3 (Costs and Expenses), Section 11.4 (Indemnities) or this Section 11.5) and all representations and warranties made in any Loan Document shall (A) survive the termination of the Commitments and the payment in full of other Obligations and (B) inure to the benefit of any Person that at any time held a right thereunder (as an Indemnitee or otherwise) and, thereafter, its successors and permitted assigns. Section 11.6 Limitation of Liability for Certain Damages. In no event shall any Indemnitee or any Group Member be liable on any theory of liability for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings), except in the case of a Group Member, for any such damages payable to a third party for which an Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement. Each of Holdings and the Borrower, and each Lender, Agent and Indemnitee, hereby waives, releases and agrees (and shall cause each other Loan Party to waive, release and agree) not to sue upon any such claim for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor. Section 11.7 Lender-Debtor Relationship. The relationship between the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Administrative Agent, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other hand, is solely that of lender and debtor. No Secured Party has any fiduciary relationship or duty to any Loan Party arising out of or in connection with, and there is no agency, tenancy or joint venture relationship between the Secured Parties and the Loan Parties by virtue of, any Loan Document or any transaction contemplated therein. 147 [[NYCORP:3713047v14:05/10/2018--10:17 PM]]
Section 11.8 Right of Setoff. The Administrative Agent, each Lender, each L/C Issuer and each Affiliate (including each branch office thereof) of any of them is hereby authorized, without notice or demand (each of which is hereby waived by Holdings and the Borrower), at any time and from time to time during the continuance of any Event of Default and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (whether general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other Indebtedness, claims or other obligations at any time owing by the Administrative Agent, such Lender, such L/C Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of Holdings or the Borrower against any Obligation of any Loan Party now or hereafter existing, whether or not any demand was made under any Loan Document with respect to such Obligation and even though such Obligation may be unmatured. The Administrative Agent, each Lender and each L/C Issuer agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender or its Affiliates; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights under this Section 11.8 are in addition to any other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that the Agents, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers and their Affiliates and other Secured Parties may have. No Lender or L/C Issuer shall exercise any such right of set off without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. Section 11.9 Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender, directly or through an Affiliate or branch office thereof, obtains any payment of any Obligation of any Loan Party (whether voluntary, involuntary or through the exercise of any right of setoff or the receipt of any Collateral or “proceeds” (as defined under the applicable UCC) of Collateral) other than pursuant to Sections 2.16 (Breakage Costs; Increased Costs; Capital Requirements), 2.17 (Taxes), 2.18 (Substitution of Lenders) and 11.2 (Assignments and Participations; Binding Effect) and other than in connection with any Permitted Loan Retirement or otherwise in accordance with the Loan Documents and such payment exceeds the amount such Lender would have been entitled to receive if all payments had gone to, and been distributed by, the Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents, such Lender shall purchase for cash from other Secured Parties such participations in their Obligations as necessary for such Lender to share such excess payment with such Secured Parties to ensure such payment is applied as though it had been received by the Administrative Agent and applied in accordance with this Agreement (or, if such application would then be at the discretion of the Borrower, applied to repay the Obligations in accordance herewith); provided, however, that (a) if such payment is rescinded or otherwise recovered from such Lender or L/C Issuer in whole or in part, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price therefor shall be returned to such Lender or L/C Issuer without interest and (b) such Lender shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, be able to exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. Section 11.10 Marshaling; Payments Set Aside. No Secured Party shall be under any obligation to marshal any property in favor of any Loan Party or any other party or against or in payment of any Obligation. To the extent that any Secured Party receives a payment from the Borrower, from the proceeds of the Collateral, from the exercise of its rights of setoff, any enforcement action or otherwise, and such payment is subsequently, in whole or in part, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, then to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not occurred. Section 11.11 Notices. (a) Addresses. All notices, demands, requests, directions and other communications required or expressly authorized to be made by this Agreement shall, whether or not specified to be in writing but unless otherwise expressly specified to be given by any other means, be 148 [[NYCORP:3713047v14:05/10/2018--10:17 PM]]

Transmission by electronic mail (including E-Fax, even if transmitted to the fax numbers set forth in clause (i) above) shall not be sufficient or effective to transmit any such notice under this clause (a) unless such transmission is an available means to post to any E- System. (b) Effectiveness. All communications described in clause (a) above and all other notices, demands, requests and other communications made in connection with this Agreement shall be effective and be deemed to have been received (i) if delivered by hand, upon personal delivery, (ii) if delivered by overnight courier service, one Business Day after delivery to such courier service, (iii) if delivered by mail, when deposited in the mails, (iv) if delivered by facsimile (other than to post to an E- System pursuant to clause (a)(ii) or (a)(iii) above), upon sender’s receipt of confirmation of proper transmission, and (v) if delivered by posting to any E-System, on the later of the date of such posting in an appropriate location and the date access to such posting is given to the recipient thereof in accordance with the standard procedures applicable to such E-System; provided, however, that no communications to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Article II or Article X shall be effective until received by the Administrative Agent.

Each of Holdings, the Borrower and each Secured Party hereby acknowledges and agrees, and each of Holdings and the Borrower shall cause each other Group Member to acknowledge and agree, that the use of Electronic Transmissions is not necessarily secure and that there are risks associated with such use, including risks of interception, disclosure and abuse and each indicates it assumes and accepts such risks by hereby authorizing the transmission of Electronic Transmissions. (b) Signatures. Subject to the provisions of Section 11.11(a), (i)(A) no posting to any E-System shall be denied legal effect merely because it is made electronically, (B) each E Signature on any such posting shall be deemed sufficient to satisfy any requirement for a “signature” and (C) each such posting shall be deemed sufficient to satisfy any requirement for a “writing”, in each case including pursuant to any Loan Document, any applicable provision of any UCC, the federal Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act and any substantive or procedural Requirement of Law governing such subject matter, (ii) each such posting that is not readily capable of bearing either a signature or a reproduction of a signature may be signed, and shall be deemed signed, by attaching to, or logically associating with such posting, an E-Signature, upon which each Secured Party and Loan Party may rely and assume the authenticity thereof, (iii) each such posting containing a signature, a reproduction of a signature or an E-Signature shall, for all intents and purposes, 149 [[NYCORP:3713047v14:05/10/2018--10:17 PM]]
have the same effect and weight as a signed paper original and (iv) each party hereto or beneficiary hereto agrees not to contest the validity or enforceability of any posting on any E-System or E-Signature on any such posting under the provisions of any applicable Requirement of Law requiring certain documents to be in writing or signed; provided, however, that nothing herein shall limit such party’s or beneficiary’s right to contest whether any posting to any E-System or E-Signature has been altered after transmission. (c) Separate Agreements. All uses of an E-System shall be governed by and subject to, in addition to Section 11.11 and this Section 11.12, separate terms and conditions posted or referenced in such E-System and related Contractual Obligations executed by Secured Parties and Group Members in connection with the use of such E-System. (d) Limitation of Liability. All E-Systems and Electronic Transmissions shall be provided “as is” and “as available”. Neither the Administrative Agent nor or any of its Related Persons warrants the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of any E-Systems or Electronic Transmission, and each disclaims all liability for errors or omissions therein. No warranty of any kind is made by the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Persons in connection with any E Systems or Electronic Transmission, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non- infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects. Each of Holdings, the Borrower and each Secured Party agrees (and each of Holdings and the Borrower shall cause each other Loan Party to agree) that the Administrative Agent has no any responsibility for maintaining or providing any equipment, software, services or any testing required in connection with any Electronic Transmission or otherwise required for any E-System. Section 11.13 Governing Law. This Agreement, each other Loan Document that does not expressly set forth its applicable law, and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto and thereto shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the law of the State of New York.

Any legal action or proceeding with respect to any Loan Document shall be brought in the courts of the State of New York located in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, or of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, each of Holdings and the Borrower hereby accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall limit the right of the Administrative Agent to commence any proceeding in the federal or state courts of any other jurisdiction to the extent the Administrative Agent determines that such action is necessary or appropriate to exercise its rights or remedies solely under the Collateral Documents. The parties hereto (and, to the extent set forth in any other Loan Document, each other Loan Party) hereby irrevocably waive any objection, including any objection to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens, that any of them may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any such action or proceeding in such jurisdictions. (b) Service of Process. Each of Holdings and Borrower (and, to the extent set forth in any other Loan Document, each other Loan Party) hereby irrevocably waives personal service of any and all legal process, summons, notices and other documents and other service of process of any kind and consents to such service in any suit, action or proceeding brought in the United States of America with respect to or otherwise arising out of or in connection with any Loan Document by any means permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, including by the mailing thereof (by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid) to the address of Borrower specified in Section 11.11 (and shall be effective when such mailing shall be effective, as provided therein).

Each party hereto (A) certifies that no other party and no Related Person 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 the Loan Documents, as applicable, by the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 11.15. Section 11.16 Severability. Any provision of any Loan Document being held illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not affect any part of such provision not held illegal, invalid or unenforceable, any other provision of any Loan Document or any part of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission or Electronic Transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. Section 11.18 Entire Agreement. The Loan Documents embody the entire agreement of the parties and supersede all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter thereof and any prior letter of interest, commitment letter, fee letter, confidentiality and similar agreements involving any Loan Party and any of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates relating to a financing of substantially similar form, purpose or effect. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and any other Loan Document, the terms of this Agreement shall govern (unless such terms of such other Loan Documents are necessary to comply with applicable Requirements of Law, in which case such terms shall govern to the extent necessary to comply therewith). Section 11.19 Acceptable Intercreditor Agreements. (a) Each of the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the other Secured Parties acknowledges that obligations of the Borrower and the Guarantors under certain Indebtedness are required or permitted to be, under the terms hereof, to be subject to any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement. Each of the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the other Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver, in each case on behalf of such Secured Party and without any further consent, authorization or other action by such Secured Party, (i) from time to time upon the request of the Borrower, in connection with the establishment, incurrence, amendment, refinancing or replacement of any such Indebtedness, any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement (it being understood that the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized and directed to determine the terms and conditions of any such Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement as contemplated by the definition of such term), including any amendment, supplement or other modification to any Loan Document to implement the terms of any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement, and (ii) any documents relating thereto. 151 [[NYCORP:3713047v14:05/10/2018--10:17 PM]]

(b) Each of the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the other Secured Parties hereby irrevocably further authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver, in each case on behalf of such Secured Party and without any further consent, authorization or other action by such Secured Party, any amendments, supplements or other modifications of any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement that the Borrower may from time to time request (i) to give effect to any establishment, incurrence, amendment, extension, renewal, refinancing or replacement of any Indebtedness contemplated hereby to be subject thereto, (ii) to confirm for any party that such Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement is effective and binding upon the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties or (iii) to effect any other amendment, supplement or modification so long as the resulting agreement would constitute an Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement if executed at such time as a new agreement. (c) Each of the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the other Secured Parties hereby irrevocably further authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver, in each case on behalf of such Secured Party and without any further consent, authorization or other action by such Secured Party, any amendments, supplements or other modifications of any Collateral Document to add or remove any legend that may be required pursuant to any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement. (d) THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 11.19 ARE NOT INTENDED TO SUMMARIZE ALL RELEVANT PROVISIONS OF ANY ACCEPTABLE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT. REFERENCE MUST BE MADE TO EACH ACCEPTABLE APPLICABLE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT TO UNDERSTAND ALL OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS THEREOF. EACH OF THE LENDERS, THE L/C ISSUERS AND THE OTHER SECURED PARTIES IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING ITS OWN ANALYSIS AND REVIEW OF EACH ACCEPTABLE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AND THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS THEREOF, AND NEITHER THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES MAKES ANY REPRESENTATION TO ANY LENDER, ANY L/C ISSUER OR ANY OTHER SECURED PARTY AS TO THE SUFFICIENCY OR ADVISABILITY OF THE PROVISIONS CONTAINED IN ANY ACCEPTABLE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT. The provisions of this Section 11.19 are intended as an inducement to the holders of any Indebtedness that is required or permitted to be, under the terms hereof, to be subject to an Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement to extend credit to the Borrower or the other Loan Parties, and such holders are intended third-party beneficiaries of such provisions. Section 11.20 Non-Public Information; Confidentiality.

(b) Each Lender, L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arranger agrees (and each Lender agrees to cause its SPV, if any) to use all reasonable efforts to maintain, in accordance with its customary practices, the confidentiality of information obtained by it pursuant to any Loan Document, except that such information may be disclosed (i) with the Borrower’s consent, (ii) to Related Persons of such Lender, L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, or to any Person that any L/C Issuer causes to Issue Letters of Credit hereunder, on a “need to know” basis solely in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and who are advised of the confidential nature of such information and are instructed to keep such information confidential; provided that such Person shall be responsible for its Related Persons compliance with this Section 11.20, (iii) to the extent such information presently is or hereafter becomes available to such Lender, L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, on a non-confidential basis from a source other than any Loan Party and not, to the knowledge of such Person, in violation of any confidentiality agreement or obligation owed to any other Person and other than as a result of a breach of this Section 11.20 by such Person or its Related Persons, (iv) to the extent disclosure is required by applicable Requirements of Law or other legal process or requested or demanded by any Governmental Authority; provided that, other than disclosure required to meet Securities and Exchange Commission reporting requirements, unless prohibited by applicable Requirements of Law or by the rules governing the process requiring such disclosure, (x) it will promptly notify the Borrower of the existence, terms and circumstances surrounding such requirement, (y) it will consult with the Borrower on the advisability of taking legally available steps to resist or narrow such requirement and (z) it will identify to the Borrower any such information which is legally required to be disclosed, (v) to the extent necessary or customary for inclusion in league table measurements or in any tombstone or other advertising materials (and the Loan Parties consent to the publication of such tombstone or other advertising materials by the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any L/C Issuer or any of their Related Persons), (vi) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization, any examiner or any nationally recognized rating agency in each case to the extent required by such examiner, association, organization or agency in connection with the administration of the Loans, regulatory examinations or ratings or proposed rating of the Loans or otherwise to the extent consisting of general portfolio information that does not identify any Loan Party or any of their Subsidiaries, or otherwise to the extent consisting of general portfolio information that does not identify any Loan Party or any of their Subsidiaries, (vii) to current or prospective Eligible Assignees, SPVs grantees of any option described in Section 11.2(f), participants or Persons that hold a security interest in any Lender’s rights under this Agreement in accordance with Section 11.2(e) (and those Persons for whose benefit such holder of a security interest is acting), direct or contractual counterparties to any Hedging Agreement permitted hereunder and to their respective Related Persons, in each case to the extent such assignees, participants, secured parties (and such benefited Persons), counterparties or Related Persons agree to be bound by provisions substantially similar to the provisions of this Section 11.20 and, in each case, other than Disqualified Lenders and (viii) in connection with the exercise of any remedy under any Loan Document. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Section 11.20 and those of any other Contractual Obligation entered into with any Loan Party (whether or not a Loan Document), the terms of this Section 11.20 shall govern. Section 11.21 Patriot Act Notice. Each Lender subject to the USA Patriot Act of 2001 (31 U.S.C. 5318 et seq.) hereby notifies the Borrower that, pursuant to Section 326 thereof, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, including the name and address of the Borrower and other information allowing such Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with such act. Section 11.22 Release of Guarantors. Notwithstanding anything in Section 11.2 to the contrary, (a) any Subsidiary that is a Guarantor shall automatically be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents (and its guarantee of the Obligations shall be automatically released) (i) upon the consummation of any permitted transaction or series of related transactions if as a result thereof such 153 [[NYCORP:3713047v14:05/10/2018--10:17 PM]]
Subsidiary ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary (or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary as a result of a single transaction or series of related transactions permitted hereunder)) and/or (ii) upon the occurrence of the Termination Date and (b) any such Subsidiary that qualifies as an “Excluded Subsidiary” shall be released by the Administrative Agent promptly following the request therefor by the Borrower. In connection with any such release, the Administrative Agent shall promptly execute and deliver to the relevant Loan Party, at such Loan Party’s expense, all documents that such Loan Party shall reasonably request to evidence termination or release; provided, that upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall deliver a certificate of a Responsible Officer certifying that the relevant transaction has been consummated in compliance with the terms of this Agreement. Any execution and delivery of any document pursuant to the preceding sentence of this Section 11.22 shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent (other than as to the Administrative Agent’s authority to execute and deliver such documents). Section 11.23 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding of the parties hereto, each such party acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by: (a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and (b) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable: (i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability; (ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or (iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.
