On August 9, 2022 (the “Amendment No. 1 Effective Date”), Taboola.com Ltd. (“Taboola”) entered into an incremental revolving credit facility amendment (the “Amendment”) to its existing senior secured credit agreement (as amended by the Amendment, the “Amended Credit Agreement”), among Taboola, its wholly-owned subsidiary Taboola, Inc., as borrower (the “Borrower”), the lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”) and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent.  The Amendment provides for borrowings in an aggregate principal amount of up to $90 million (the “Revolving Facility”, the loans thereunder, the “Revolving Loans” and the commitments thereunder, the “Revolving Commitments”). The proceeds of the Revolving Facility can be used to finance working capital needs and general corporate purposes.

Borrowings under the Revolving Facility are subject to customary borrowing conditions and will bear interest at a variable annual rate based on Term SOFR or Base Rate plus a fixed margin. Revolving Loans repaid may be reborrowed prior to maturity of the Revolving Facility pursuant to customary conditions and restrictions. The Revolving Facility will mature on the fifth anniversary of the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date.

Subject to the following sentence, the Revolving Facility is voluntarily prepayable from time to time without premium or penalty. The Borrower shall pay a prepayment premium in connection with any repricing transaction consummated on or before the first anniversary of the closing date. The Revolving Facility is mandatorily prepayable with a portion of the net cash proceeds of certain dispositions of assets, a portion of the Borrower’s excess cash flow and the proceeds of incurrences of indebtedness not permitted under the Amended Credit Agreement as well as at any time that the outstanding Revolving Loans exceeds the Revolving Commitments.

The Amended Credit Agreement also contains customary representations, covenants and events of default as well as a financial covenant, which places a limit on Taboola’s allowable net leverage ratio. Failure to meet the covenants beyond applicable grace periods could result in acceleration of the Revolving Loans and/or termination of the Revolving Facility.

Capitalized terms used in the foregoing description that are not defined herein are used with the meanings ascribed to them in the Amendment and the Amended Credit Agreement. The foregoing description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment and the Amended Credit Agreement filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
This report on Form 6-K, is being filed and shall be incorporated by reference in any registration statement filed by Taboola under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that permits incorporation by reference.

The interest rate on a Revolving Loan denominated in dollars may be derived from an interest rate benchmark that may be discontinued or is, or may in the future become, the subject of regulatory reform.  Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, Schedule 2.16(b) provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest.  The Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission, performance or any other matter related to any interest rate used in this Agreement, or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof, including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the existing interest rate being replaced or have the same volume or liquidity as did any existing interest rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability.  The Administrative Agent and its affiliates and/or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of any interest rate used in this Agreement or any alternative, successor or alternative rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) and/or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrower.  The Administrative Agent may, subject to the provisions below, select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain any interest rate used in this Agreement, any component thereof, or rates referenced in the definition thereof, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.
 
“Available Tenor”: as of any date of determination and with respect to the then-current Benchmark, as applicable, any tenor for such Benchmark (or component thereof) or payment period for interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark (or component thereof), as applicable, that is or may be used for determining the length of an Interest Period for any term rate or otherwise, for determining any frequency of making payments of interest calculated pursuant to this Agreement as of such date and not including, for the avoidance of doubt, any tenor for such Benchmark that is then-removed from the definition of “Interest Period” pursuant to clause (e) of Schedule 2.16.
 
“Benchmark”: initially, with respect to any (i) RFR Loan, the Daily Simple SOFR or (ii)  Term Benchmark Loan, the Term SOFR Rate; provided that if a Benchmark Transition Event, and the related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to the Daily Simple SOFR or Term SOFR Rate, as applicable, or the then-current Benchmark, then “Benchmark” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement to the extent that such Benchmark Replacement has replaced such prior benchmark rate pursuant to clause (b) of Schedule 2.16.
 
“Benchmark Replacement”: for any Available Tenor, the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Administrative Agent for the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date:
 
(1) the Daily Simple SOFR;
 
(2) the sum of: (i) the alternate benchmark rate that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to (A) any selection or recommendation of a replacement benchmark rate or the mechanism for determining such a rate by the Relevant Governmental Body or (B) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a benchmark rate as a replacement for the then-current Benchmark for Dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities at such time in the United States and (ii) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment.
 
If the Benchmark Replacement as determined pursuant to clause (1) or (2) above would be less than the Floor, the Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be the Floor for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
 
“Benchmark Replacement Adjustment”: with respect to any replacement of the then-current Benchmark with an Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for any applicable Interest Period and Available Tenor for any setting of such Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement, the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement by the Relevant Governmental Body on the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date and/or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities.
 
“Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes”: with respect to any Benchmark Replacement and/or any Term Benchmark Loan, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including changes to the definition of “Alternate Base Rate,” the definition of “Business Day,” the definition of “U.S. Government Securities Business Day,” the definition of “Interest Period,” timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest, timing of borrowing requests or prepayment, conversion or continuation notices, length of lookback periods, the applicability of breakage provisions, and other technical, administrative or operational matters) that the Administrative Agent decides, following consultation with the Borrower, may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of such Benchmark and to permit the administration thereof by the Administrative Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Administrative Agent decides that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Administrative Agent determines that no market practice for the administration of such Benchmark exists, in such other manner of administration as the Administrative Agent decides is reasonably necessary in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents).
 
“Benchmark Replacement Date”: with respect to any Benchmark, the earliest to occur of the following events with respect to such then-current Benchmark:
 
(1)        in the case of clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the later of (a) the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein and (b) the date on which the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or

(2)        in the case of clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the first date on which such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) has been determined and announced by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) to be no longer representative; provided, that such non-representativeness will be determined by reference to the most recent statement or publication referenced in such clause (c) and even if any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) continues to be provided on such date.
 
For the avoidance of doubt, (i) if the event giving rise to the Benchmark Replacement Date occurs on the same day as, but earlier than, the Reference Time in respect of any determination, the Benchmark Replacement Date will be deemed to have occurred prior to the Reference Time for such determination and (ii) the “Benchmark Replacement Date” will be deemed to have occurred in the case of clause (1) or (2) with respect to any Benchmark upon the occurrence of the applicable event or events set forth therein with respect to all then-current Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).
 
“Benchmark Transition Event”: with respect to any Benchmark, the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to such then-current Benchmark:
 
(1) a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) announcing that such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof), permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof);
 
(2) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof), the Federal Reserve Board, the NYFRB, the CME Term SOFR Administrator, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component) or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), in each case, which states that the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component) has ceased or will cease to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) permanently or indefinitely; provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or
 
(3) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) announcing that all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) are no longer, or as of a specified future date will no longer be, representative.
 
For the avoidance of doubt, a “Benchmark Transition Event” will be deemed to have occurred with respect to any Benchmark if a public statement or publication of information set forth above has occurred with respect to each then-current Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).
 
“Benchmark Unavailability Period”: with respect to any Benchmark, the period (if any) (x) beginning at the time that a Benchmark Replacement Date pursuant to clauses (1) or (2) of that definition has occurred if, at such time, no Benchmark Replacement has replaced such then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in accordance with Schedule 2.16 and (y) ending at the time that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced such then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in accordance with Schedule 2.16.
 
“CME Term SOFR Administrator”: CME Group Benchmark Administration Limited as administrator of the forward-looking term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) (or a successor administrator).
 
“Corresponding Tenor”: with respect to any Available Tenor, as applicable, either a tenor (including overnight) or an interest payment period having approximately the same length (disregarding business day adjustment) as such Available Tenor.
 
“Daily Simple SOFR”: for any day (a “SOFR Rate Day”), a rate per annum equal to SOFR for the day (such day “SOFR Determination Date”) that is five (5) U.S Government Securities Business Days prior to (i) if such SOFR Rate Day is an U.S. Government Securities Business Day, such SOFR Rate Day or (ii) if such SOFR Rate Day is not an U.S. Government Securities Business Day, the U.S. Government Securities Business Day immediately preceding such SOFR Rate Day, in each case, as such SOFR is published by the SOFR Administrator on the SOFR Administrator’s Website.  Any change in Daily Simple SOFR due to a change in SOFR shall be effective from and including the effective date of such change in SOFR without notice to the Borrower.
 
“Floor”: the benchmark rate floor, if any, provided in this Agreement initially (as of the execution of this Agreement, the modification, amendment or renewal of this Agreement or otherwise) with respect to the Term SOFR Rate or the Daily Simple SOFR, as applicable. For the avoidance of doubt the initial Floor for each of Term SOFR Rate or the Daily Simple SOFR in respect of Revolving Loans shall be 0.00%.
 
“Reference Time”: with respect to any setting of the then-current Benchmark, if such Benchmark is the Term SOFR Rate, 5:00 a.m. (New York time) on the day that is two U.S. Government Securities Business Days preceding the date of such setting.
 
“Relevant Governmental Body”: the Federal Reserve Board and/or the NYFRB or a committee officially endorsed or convened by the Federal Reserve Board and/or the NYFRB or, in each case, any successor thereto.
 
“Relevant Rate”: (i) with respect to any Term Benchmark Borrowing denominated in Dollars, the Term SOFR Rate or (ii) with respect to any RFR Borrowing, the Daily Simple SOFR, as applicable.

“RFR Borrowing”: as to any Borrowing, the RFR Loans comprising such Borrowing.

“Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement”: the applicable Benchmark Replacement excluding the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment.
 
Section 2.16         Alternate Rate of Interest.
 
(a)         Subject to clauses (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f) of this Schedule 2.16, if:
 
(i)          the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) (A) prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Term Benchmark Borrowing, that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Term SOFR Rate (including because the Term SOFR Reference Rate is not available or published on a current basis), for such Interest Period or (B) at any time, that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable Daily Simple SOFR; or
 
(ii)         the Administrative Agent is advised by the Majority Facility Lenders of any applicable Class that (A) prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Term Benchmark Borrowing, the Term SOFR Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period or (B) at any time, Daily Simple SOFR will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing;
 
then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until (x) the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist with respect to the relevant Benchmark and (y) the Borrower delivers a new interest election request in accordance with the terms of Section 2.12 or a new borrowing request in accordance with the terms of Section 2.5, (1) any interest election request that requests the conversion of any Revolving Borrowing to, or continuation of any Revolving Borrowing as, a Term Benchmark Borrowing and any Borrowing Request that requests a Term Benchmark Revolving Borrowing shall instead be deemed to be an interest election request or a borrowing request, as applicable, for (x) an RFR Borrowing so long as the Daily Simple SOFR is not also the subject of Schedule 2.16(a)(i) or (ii) above or (y) an ABR Borrowing if the Daily Simple SOFR also is the subject of Schedule 2.16(a)(i) or (ii) above and (2) any borrowing request that requests an RFR Borrowing shall instead be deemed to be a borrowing request, as applicable, for an ABR Borrowing; provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one Type of Borrowings, then all other Types of Borrowings shall be permitted.  Furthermore, if any Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan is outstanding on the date of the Borrower’s receipt of the notice from the Administrative Agent referred to in this Schedule 2.16(a) with respect to a Relevant Rate applicable to such Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan, then until (x) the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist with respect to the relevant Benchmark and (y) the Borrower delivers a new interest election request in accordance with the terms of Section 2.12 or a new borrowing request in accordance with the terms of Section 2.5, (1) any Term Benchmark Loan shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan, be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, (x) an RFR Borrowing so long as the Daily Simple SOFR is not also the subject of Schedule 2.16(a)(i) or (ii) above or (y) an ABR Loan if the Daily Simple SOFR also is the subject of Schedule 2.16(a)(i) or (ii) above, on such day, and (2) any RFR Loan shall on and from such day be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute an ABR Loan.
 
(b)        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document (and any Swap Agreement shall be deemed not to be a “Loan Document” for purposes of this Schedule 2.16), if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Majority Facility Lenders of each affected Class.
 
(c)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
 
(d)       The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (iv) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (f) below and (v) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period.  Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Schedule 2.16, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Schedule 2.16.
 
(e)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion in consultation with the Borrower or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.
 
(f)         Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request for a Term Benchmark Borrowing or RFR Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term Benchmark Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrowers will be deemed to have converted any request for a Term Benchmark Borrowing into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to (A) an RFR Borrowing so long as the Daily Simple SOFR is not the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event or (B) an ABR Borrowing if the Daily Simple SOFR is the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event.  During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of ABR based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of ABR.  Furthermore, if any Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan is outstanding on the date of the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to a Relevant Rate applicable to such Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan, then until such time as a Benchmark Replacement is implemented pursuant to this Schedule 2.16, (1) any Term Benchmark Loan shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan, be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, (x) an RFR Borrowing so long as the Daily Simple SOFR is not the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event or (y) an ABR Loan if the Daily Simple SOFR is the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event, on such day and (2) any RFR Loan shall on and from such day be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute an ABR Loan.

For the avoidance of doubt, if the Company shall have elected the option set forth in clause (x) of any of the preceding clauses (1) or (2) in respect of any transaction, then (i) the Company shall be permitted to consummate such transaction even if any applicable test or condition shall cease to be satisfied subsequent to the Company’s election of such option and (ii) any further determination with respect to incurrence tests prior to the earlier of the consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction and the termination of such Limited Condition Transaction will require the Company to comply with such tests on a Pro Forma Basis assuming the applicable Limited Condition Transaction has been consummated and the applicable acquisition debt has been incurred.

1.6.        Interest Rates; LIBOR Notification.  The interest rate on a Loan may be derived from an interest rate benchmark that is, or may in the future become, the subject of regulatory reform.  Regulators have signaled the need to use alternative benchmark reference rates for some of these interest rate benchmarks and, as a result, such interest rate benchmarks may cease to comply with applicable laws and regulations, may be permanently discontinued, and/or the basis on which they are calculated may change.  The London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market.  On March 5, 2021, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) publicly announced that: (a) immediately after December 31, 2021, publication of the 1-week and 2-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; immediately after June 30, 2023, publication of the overnight and 12-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; and immediately after June 30, 2023, the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will cease to be provided or, subject to the FCA’s consideration of the case, be provided on a synthetic basis and no longer be representative of the underlying market and economic reality they are intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored.  There is no assurance that dates announced by the FCA will not change or that the administrator of LIBOR and/or regulators will not take further action that could impact the availability, composition, or characteristics of LIBOR or the tenors for which LIBOR is published.  Each party to this agreement should consult its own advisors to stay informed of any such developments.  Public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of LIBOR.  Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event, an Early Opt-in Election or an Other Benchmark Rate Election, Sections 2.16(b) and (c) provide a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower, pursuant to Section 2.16(e) of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on LIBO Rate Loans is based.  However, the Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission, performance or any other matter related to the Daily Simple RFR, LIBOR or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof (including, without limitation, (i) any such alternative, successor or replacement rate implemented pursuant to Section 2.16(b) or (c) , whether upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event, an Early Opt-in Election or an Other Benchmark Rate Election, and (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes pursuant to Section 2.16(d), including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of the LIBO Rate or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank offered rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability.  The Administrative Agent and its affiliates and/or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of any alternative, successor or alternative rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) and/or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrower.  The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain the LIBO Rate, any component thereof, or rates referenced in the definition thereof, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, this Section 1.6 shall apply only to Tranche B Term Loans and shall not apply to any Revolving Loans, which shall be subject to the provisions of Schedule 2.16.
 
SECTION 2.        AMOUNT AND TERMS OF LOANS AND COMMITMENTS
 
2.1.        Tranche B Term Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Tranche B Term Lender severally agrees to make a term loan denominated in U.S. Dollars (a “Tranche B Term Loan”) to the Borrower on the Closing Date in an amount not to exceed the amount set forth under the heading “Tranche B Term Loan” opposite such Tranche B Term Lender’s name on Schedule 1.1A.
 
2.2.        Procedure for Tranche B Term Loan Borrowing. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice (which notice must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, two Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing Date) requesting that the Tranche B Term Lenders make the Tranche B Term Loans on the Closing Date and specifying (i) the amount of Loans to be borrowed, (ii) the anticipated Closing Date and (iii) the length of the initial Interest Period therefor. Each such borrowing shall be in an amount equal to $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Upon receipt of such notice of borrowing the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Tranche B Term Lender thereof. Each Tranche B Term Lender will make the amount of its Tranche B Term Loan available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower at the Funding Office prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Closing Date. Such borrowing will then be made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of such office with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the Tranche B Term Lenders and in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent.
 
58
2.3.        Repayment of Tranche B Term Loans. The Tranche B Term Loan of each Tranche B Term Lender shall be repaid (i) on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur that is the last Business Day of the first full quarter ending after the Closing Date, an aggregate principal amount equal to 0.25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Tranche B Term Loans funded on the Closing Date and (ii) on the Tranche B Final Maturity Date, the remainder of the principal amount of the Tranche B Term Loans outstanding on such date, together in each case with accrued but unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to but excluding the date of such payment.
 
2.4.         Revolving Commitments.
 
(a)          Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Revolving Lender severally agrees to make revolving credit loans denominated in U.S. Dollars (“Revolving Loans”) to the Borrower from time to time at the Borrower’s request during the Revolving Commitment Period in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding which does not exceed the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment. During the Revolving Commitment Period each Borrower may use the Revolving Commitments by borrowing, prepaying the Revolving Loans in whole or in part, and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. The Revolving Loans may from time to time be Term Benchmark Loans or ABR Loans, as determined by the Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Sections 2.5 and/or 2.12. The Borrower shall repay all outstanding Revolving Loans made to the Borrower on the Revolving Termination Date.
 
2.5.         Procedure for Revolving Loan Borrowing.
 
(a)         The Borrower may borrow Revolving Loans under the Revolving Commitments during the Revolving Commitment Period on any Business Day prior to the Revolving Termination Date; provided that the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice (which notice must be received by the Administrative Agent (a) prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, three Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of Term Benchmark Loans, or (b) prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, one Business Day prior to the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of ABR Loans), specifying (i) the amount and the Type of Loans to be borrowed, (ii) the requested Borrowing Date and (iii) in the case of Term Benchmark Loans, the initial Interest Period therefor. If any such Borrowing request requests a LIBO Rate Loan or a Term Benchmark Loan but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Each such borrowing of Revolving Loans shall be in an amount equal to (x) in the case of ABR Loans, $1,000,000 or a whole multiple thereof (or, if the then aggregate Available Revolving Commitments are less than $1,000,000, such lesser amount) and (y) in the case of Term Benchmark Loans, $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, respectively. Upon receipt of any such notice of borrowing under the Revolving Facility from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender under the Revolving Facility thereof. In the case of a borrowing under the Revolving Facility, each Revolving Lender will make the amount of its Revolving Percentage of such borrowing of Revolving Loans available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower at the Domestic Funding Office prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Borrowing Date requested by the Borrower in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent. Such borrowing will then be made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of such office with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the Revolving Lenders and in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent.
 
(b)          [Reserved].
 
59
(c)          Each Lender may, at its option, make any Loan available to any Borrower by causing any foreign or domestic branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
 
2.6.        Commitment Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a commitment fee for the period from and including the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date to the last day of the Revolving Commitment Period, computed at the Commitment Fee Rate on the average daily Available Revolving Commitment of such Lender during the period for which payment is made, payable quarterly in arrears on the fifteenth Business Day of each January, April, July and October and on the Revolving Termination Date, commencing on the first of such dates to occur after the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date.
 
2.7.        Termination or Reduction of Revolving Commitments.  The Company shall have the right, upon not less than three Business Days’ notice (or shorter notice period approved by the Administrative Agent) to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the Revolving Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the amount of the Revolving Commitments; provided that no such termination or reduction of Revolving Commitments shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Revolving Loans made on the effective date thereof, the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit would exceed the Total Revolving Commitments. Any such partial reduction shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000, or a whole multiple thereof, and shall reduce permanently the Revolving Commitments then in effect. Each reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be made ratably among the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may rescind or postpone any notice of termination of the Revolving Commitments if such termination would have resulted from a refinancing of all or any portion of any Facility or Facilities, which refinancing shall not be consummated or otherwise shall be delayed.
 
2.8.       Fees, etc.. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent the fees in the amounts and on the dates previously agreed to in writing by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, including pursuant to the Fee Letter and the Amendment No. 1 Fee Letters.
 
2.9.       Termination or Reduction of Tranche B Term Commitments. The Tranche B Term Commitments shall be automatically permanently reduced to zero on the date of the Borrowing of Tranche B Term Loans (immediately after the funding of such Borrowing on such date).
 
2.10.      Optional Prepayments. (a) The Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (except as set forth in Section 2.10(b)), upon notice delivered by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent (a) at least three Business Days (or shorter notice period approved by the Administrative Agent) prior thereto in the case of LIBO Rate Loans or Term Benchmark Loans and (b) on the same Business Day in the case of ABR Loans, which notice shall specify the date and amount of prepayment, the Class of Loans to be prepaid and whether the prepayment is of LIBO Rate Loans, Term Benchmark Loans, or ABR Loans; provided, that if a LIBO Rate Loan or Term Benchmark Loan is prepaid on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.20. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid; provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrower may rescind, or extend the date for prepayment specified in, any notice of prepayment under this Section 2.10(a), if such prepayment would have resulted from a refinancing of all or any portion of any Facility or Facilities which refinancing shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed. Partial prepayments of Tranche B Term Loans and Revolving Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple thereof. Any optional prepayments of the Term Loans shall be applied to the remaining installments thereof as selected by the Borrower (or absent any such selection in the direct order of maturity).
 
60
(b) If a Repricing Transaction occurs on or prior to the date that is twelve months after the Closing Date, a 1.00% prepayment premium shall be paid on the principal amount of the Tranche B Term Loans prepaid, repaid or subject to an amendment (including to any Lenders that do not consent to such amendment and are required to assign their loans in connection with such amendment) in each case in connection with such Repricing Transaction.
 
2.11.       Mandatory Prepayments.

(a)         If any Indebtedness shall be incurred by the Borrower after the Closing Date (other than any permitted Indebtedness incurred in accordance with Section 7.2 (except for Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness which shall be applied in accordance with clause (iii) of the definition thereof)), an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof shall be applied on the date of such issuance or incurrence toward the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in Section 2.11(d).
 
(b)         If on any date the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale or Recovery Event then, the Applicable Asset Sale Prepayment Percentage of such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied by the Borrower on the fifth Business Day following such receipt thereof toward the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in Section 2.11(d); provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, at the option of the Company, the Company may reinvest the Net Cash Proceeds in the business of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries within (x) 12 months following the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds or (y) 18 months following the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds, in the event that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall have entered into a binding commitment within 12 months following the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds to reinvest such Net Cash Proceeds in the business of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (it being understood that if any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds are no longer intended to be reinvested or are not reinvested within such 18-month period, the Applicable Asset Sale Prepayment Percentage of such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied by the Borrower on the fifth Business Day after the Company reasonably determines that such Net Cash Proceeds are no longer intended to be or are not reinvested within such 18-month period toward prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in Section 2.11(d)); provided that if at the time that any such prepayment would be required, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is required to prepay or offer to repurchase with the Net Cash Proceeds of such Asset Sale or Recovery Event any Incremental Equivalent Debt, Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness, Ratio Debt, Incurred Acquisition Debt or any other Indebtedness outstanding at such time, in each case that is secured by a Lien on the Collateral that is pari passu (but without regard to the control of remedies) with the Liens securing the Obligations pursuant to the terms of the documentation governing such Indebtedness (such Indebtedness required to be offered to be so repurchased, “Other Applicable Asset Sale Indebtedness”), then the Company may apply the Net Cash Proceeds on a pro rata basis (determined on the basis of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans and Other Applicable Asset Sale Indebtedness at such time) to the prepayment of such Other Applicable Asset Sale Indebtedness; it being understood that the portion of the Net Cash Proceeds allocated to the Other Applicable Asset Sale Indebtedness shall not exceed the amount of the Net Cash Proceeds required to be allocated to the Other Applicable Asset Sale Indebtedness pursuant to the terms thereof (and the remaining amount, if any, of the Net Cash Proceeds shall be allocated to the Term Loans in accordance with the terms hereof), and the amount of the prepayment of the Term Loans that would have otherwise been required pursuant to this Section 2.11(b) shall be reduced accordingly.
 
61
(c)          No later than the fifth Business Day after the date on which the financial statements with respect to each fiscal year of the Borrower are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.1(a), commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022, the Borrower shall prepay Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.11(d) in an aggregate principal amount (the “ECF Prepayment Amount”) equal to (A) the Applicable ECF Prepayment Percentage of Excess Cash Flow of the Company and its Subsidiaries for the Excess Cash Flow Period then most recently ended (this clause (A), the “Base ECF Prepayment Amount”) minus (B) at the option of the Borrower, to the extent occurring during such Excess Cash Flow Period (or occurring after such Excess Cash Flow Period and prior to the date of the applicable Excess Cash Flow payment), and without duplication (including duplication of any amounts deducted in any prior Excess Cash Flow Period or deducted in the calculation of Excess Cash Flow pursuant to the definition thereof), the following (collectively, the “ECF Deductions”):
 
(i)           the aggregate principal amount of any Term Loans prepaid pursuant to Section 2.10;
 
(ii)        the aggregate principal amount of any Incremental Equivalent Debt and/or any other Indebtedness permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 7.2 to the extent secured by Liens on the Collateral that are pari passu with the Liens on the Collateral securing the Facilities (without regard to the control of remedies), voluntarily prepaid, repurchased, redeemed or otherwise retired;
 
(iii)       the amount of any reduction in the outstanding amount of any Term Loans, Incremental Equivalent Debt and/or any other Indebtedness permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 7.2 to the extent secured by Liens on the Collateral that are pari passu with the Liens on the Collateral securing the Facilities (without regard to the control of remedies), resulting from any purchase or assignment made in accordance with Section 10.6(k) (with respect to Term Loans) and any equivalent provisions with respect to any Incremental Equivalent Debt and/or such other Indebtedness;
 
(iv)         all Cash payments in respect of Capital Expenditures and all Cash payments made to acquire IP Rights;
 
(v)         Cash payments by the Company and its Subsidiaries made in respect of long-term liabilities (including for purposes of clarity, the current portion of such long-term liabilities) of the Company and its Subsidiaries other than Indebtedness, except to the extent such Cash payments were deducted in the calculation of Consolidated Net Income or Consolidated EBITDA for such period;
 
(vi)        Cash payments made from internally generated Cash in respect of any Investment (including acquisitions) permitted by Section 7.7 or otherwise consented to by the Required Lenders (other than Investments (x) in Cash or Cash Equivalents or (y) in the Borrower or any Loan Party) and/or any Restricted Payment permitted by Section 7.7 or otherwise consented to by the Required Lenders;
 
(vii)       the aggregate consideration (A) required to be paid in Cash by the Borrower or its Subsidiaries pursuant to binding contracts entered into prior to or during such period relating to Capital Expenditures, acquisitions or other Investments permitted by Section 7.7 or otherwise consented to by the Required Lenders and/or Restricted Payments described in clause (vi) above and/or (B) otherwise committed or budgeted to be made in connection with Capital Expenditures, acquisitions or other Investments and/or Restricted Payments described in clause (vi) above (clauses (A) and (B) of this clause (vii), the “Scheduled Consideration”) (other than Investments in (x) Cash and Cash Equivalents or (y) the Borrower or any Loan Party) to be consummated or made during the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters of the Borrower following the end of such Excess Cash Flow Period; provided that to the extent the aggregate amount actually utilized to finance such Capital Expenditures, acquisitions, Investments or Restricted Payments during such subsequent period of four consecutive fiscal quarters is less than the Scheduled Consideration, the amount of the resulting shortfall shall be added to the calculation of the ECF Prepayment Amount at the end of such subsequent period of four consecutive fiscal quarters;
 
62
(viii)      Cash expenditures in respect of any Hedge Agreement to the extent not otherwise deducted in the calculation of Consolidated Net Income or Consolidated EBITDA; and
 
(ix)       the aggregate amount of expenditures actually made by the Borrower and/or any Subsidiary in Cash (including any expenditure for the payment of fees or other Charges (or any amortization thereof for such period) in connection with any Disposition, incurrence or repayment of Indebtedness, issuance of Capital Stock, refinancing transaction, amendment or modification of any debt instrument, including this Agreement, and including, in each case, any such transaction consummated prior to, on or after the Closing Date, and Charges incurred in connection therewith, whether or not such transaction was successful), in each case to the extent that such expenditures were not expensed;
 
in the case of each of clauses (i)-(ix), (I) excluding any such payments, prepayments and expenditures made during such Fiscal Year that reduced the amount required to be prepaid pursuant to this Section 2.11(c) in any prior Fiscal Year, (II) in the case of any prepayment of revolving Indebtedness, to the extent accompanied by a permanent reduction in the relevant commitment, (III) to the extent that such payments, prepayments and expenditures were not financed with the proceeds of other Long-Term Indebtedness of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries and (IV) in each case under clause (3) above, based upon the actual amount of cash paid in connection with any relevant purchase or assignment; provided that no prepayment under this Section 2.11(c) shall be required unless the principal amount of Term Loans required to be prepaid exceeds $10,000,000 (and, in such case, only such amount in excess of such amount shall be required to be prepaid); provided, further, that if at the time that any such prepayment would be required, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is required to prepay or offer to repurchase with any portion of the ECF Prepayment Amount any Incremental Equivalent Debt, Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness, Ratio Debt, Incurred Acquisition Debt or any other Indebtedness outstanding at such time, in each case that is secured on a pari passu basis (without regard to the control of remedies) with the Obligations pursuant to the terms of the documentation governing such Indebtedness (such Indebtedness required to be so prepaid or offered to be so repurchased, “Other Applicable Indebtedness”), then the Borrower may apply such portion of the ECF Prepayment Amount on a pro rata basis (determined on the basis of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans and the relevant Other Applicable Indebtedness (or accreted amount if such Other Applicable Indebtedness is issued with original issue discount) at such time) to the prepayment of the Term Loans and to the prepayment of the relevant Other Applicable Indebtedness, and the amount of prepayment of the Term Loans that would have otherwise been required pursuant to this Section 2.11(c) shall be reduced accordingly; it being understood that (1) the portion of such ECF Prepayment Amount allocated to the Other Applicable Indebtedness shall not exceed the portion of such ECF Prepayment Amount required to be allocated to the Other Applicable Indebtedness pursuant to the terms thereof, and the remaining amount, if any, of such ECF Prepayment Amount shall be allocated to the Term Loans in accordance with the terms hereof and (2) to the extent the holders of the Other Applicable Indebtedness decline to have such Indebtedness prepaid or repurchased, the declined amount shall promptly (and in any event within ten Business Days after the date of such rejection) be applied to prepay the Term Loans in accordance with the terms hereof.
 
63
(d)        The application of any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.11(a), 2.11(b) or 2.11(c) shall be made ratably to the Term Loans based on the outstanding respective principal amounts thereof. Partial prepayments of the Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be applied to the remaining installments thereof, as directed by the Borrower (and absent any direction in the direct order of maturity). The application of any prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall be made, first, to ABR Loans and second, to LIBO Rate Loans. Each prepayment of the Loans under this Section 2.11 shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid.
 
(e)         Each Lender may elect, by notice to the Administrative Agent at or prior to the time and in the manner specified by the Administrative Agent, prior to any prepayment of Term Loans required to be made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.11(b) or (c) to decline all (but not a portion) of its prepayment (such declined amounts, the “Declined Proceeds”), which Declined Proceeds may be retained by the Borrower and used for any purpose permitted (or not prohibited) hereunder, including to increase the Available Amount; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, no Lender may reject any prepayment made under Section 2.11(a) above to the extent that such prepayment is made with the proceeds of any Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to refinance all or a portion of the Term Loans. If any Lender fails to deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent of its election to decline receipt of its ratable percentage of any mandatory prepayment within the time frame specified by the Administrative Agent, such failure will be deemed to constitute an acceptance of such Lender’s ratable percentage of the total amount of such mandatory prepayment of the Term Loans.
 
(f)          Notwithstanding any other provisions of Section 2.11, to the extent any or all of the Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale or Recovery Event received by the Company or a Foreign Subsidiary are prohibited or delayed by any applicable local law (including financial assistance, corporate benefit restrictions on upstreaming of cash intra group and the fiduciary and statutory duties of the directors of the Company or such Foreign Subsidiary) from being repatriated or passed on to or used for the benefit of the Borrower or any applicable Domestic Subsidiary (the Company hereby agreeing to promptly take, and to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to promptly take, all actions reasonably required by the applicable local law to permit such repatriation as long as such repatriation does not create a material adverse tax consequence) or if the Company has determined in good faith that repatriation of any such amount to the Borrower or any applicable Subsidiary would have material adverse tax consequences with respect to such amount, the portion of such Net Cash Proceeds so affected will not be required to be applied to prepay Term Loans at the times provided in this Section 2.11 but may be retained by the Company or the applicable Subsidiary for so long, but only so long, as the applicable local law will not permit repatriation or the passing on to or otherwise using for the benefit of the Borrower or the applicable Domestic Subsidiary, or the Company believes in good faith that such material adverse tax consequence would result, and once such repatriation of any of such affected Net Cash Proceeds is permitted under the applicable local law or the Company determines in good faith that such repatriation would no longer would have such material adverse tax consequences, such repatriation will be promptly effected and such repatriated Net Cash Proceeds will be promptly (and in any event not later than five Business Days after such repatriation) applied (net of additional taxes payable or reasonably estimated to be payable as a result thereof) to the prepayment of the applicable Term Loans as otherwise required pursuant to this Section 2.11; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower and the applicable Domestic Subsidiary shall have no obligation to repatriate any such Net Cash Proceeds (or take any further action with respect thereto) from and after the date that is twelve months after the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds.
 
(g)          If at any time the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit exceed the Total Revolving Commitments, the Borrower shall, within one Business Day of notice thereof from the Administrative Agent, prepay the Revolving Loans in an amount equal to the amount of such excess.
 
64
2.12.       Continuation Options.
 
(a)          The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert LIBO Rate Loans or Term Benchmark Loans to ABR Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least two Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice of such election, provided that any such conversion of LIBO Rate Loans or Term Benchmark Loans may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert ABR Loans to LIBO Rate Loans, in the case of Tranche B Term Loans, or Term Benchmark Loans, in the case of Revolving Loans, by giving the Administrative Agent at least three Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice of such election (which notice shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period therefor); provided that no ABR Loan under a particular Facility may be converted into a LIBO Rate Loan or a Term Benchmark Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such conversions. Upon receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.  If any interest election requests a LIBO Rate Loan or Term Benchmark Loan but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.
 
(b)         Any LIBO Rate Loan or Term Benchmark Loan shall be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto unless the Borrower gives notice to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period” set forth in Section 1.1, of a different length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans.
 
2.13.      Limitations on Eurodollar Tranches. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings, conversions and continuations of LIBO Rate Loans or Term Benchmark Loans hereunder and all selections of Interest Periods hereunder shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the LIBO Rate Loans or Term Benchmark Loans comprising each Eurodollar Tranche or Term Benchmark Borrowing shall be equal to $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.
 
2.14.       Interest Rates and Payment Dates.
 
(a)          Each Loan comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.
 
(b)         (i) Each Loan comprising each LIBO Rate Borrowing shall bear interest during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate determined for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin and (ii) each Loan comprising a Term Benchmark Borrowing shall bear interest during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Term SOFR Rate determined for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin. For the avoidance of doubt, no LIBO Rate Borrowing shall be made with respect to any Revolving Loan.
 
(c)          (i) If all or a portion of the principal amount of or interest on any Loan shall not be paid when due and payable (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise and after giving effect to any grace or cure periods applicable thereto), such overdue amounts shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to in the case of overdue amounts in respect of any Loan, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section plus 2% and (ii) if all or a portion of any interest, commitment fee or other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due and payable (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise and after giving effect to any grace or cure periods applicable thereto), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate then applicable to ABR Loans under the relevant Facility plus 2%, in each case, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) above, from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in full (as well after as before judgment).
 
(d)          Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date.
 
65
2.15.       Computation of Interest and Fees; Interest Elections.
 
(a)          Interest and fees payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year except that interest and fees payable for ABR Loans on which is then based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a 365 day year (or 366 day year in a leap year) for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of each determination of a LIBO Rate or the Term SOFR Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the Alternate Base Rate shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.
 
(b)         Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders absent manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 2.15(a).
 
2.16.       Inability to Determine Interest Rate.
 
(a)          Subject to clauses (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) and (g) of this Section 2.16:
 
(i)   the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a LIBO Rate Borrowing, that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate (including because the LIBO Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis), for Dollars and such Interest Period; or
 
(ii)   the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a LIBO Rate Borrowing, the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate for Dollars and such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;
 
then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (A) any continuation of any Borrowing as a LIBO Rate Borrowing shall be ineffective and (B) if any borrowing request requests a LIBO Rate Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing; provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one Type of Borrowings, then all other Types of Borrowings shall be permitted.  Furthermore, if any LIBO Rate Loan is outstanding on the date of the Borrower’s receipt of the notice from the Administrative Agent referred to in this Section 2.16, then until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, then on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), such Loan shall be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, an ABR Loan on such day.
 
66
(b)         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event, an Early Opt-in Election or an Other Benchmark Rate Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.
 
(c)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document and subject to the proviso below in this paragraph, if a Term SOFR Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then the applicable Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder or under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that, this clause (c) shall not be effective unless the Administrative Agent has delivered to the Lenders and the Borrower a Term SOFR Notice. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to deliver a Term SOFR Notice after the occurrence of a Term SOFR Transition Event and may do so in its sole discretion.
 
(d)          In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
 
(e)          The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event, an Early Opt-in Election or an Other Benchmark Rate Election, as applicable, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (iv) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (f) below and (v) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.16, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.16.
 
(f)        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Tranche B Term SOFR or the Adjusted LIBO Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.
 
67
(g)        Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request for a LIBO Rate Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of LIBO Rate Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, such Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to ABR Loans. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of ABR based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of ABR.  Furthermore, if any LIBO Rate Loan is outstanding on the date of the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, then until such time as a Benchmark Replacement is implemented pursuant to this Section 2.16, then on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan (or the next succeeding Business day if such day is not a Business Day), such Loan shall be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, an ABR Loan on such day.
 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, this Section 2.16 shall apply only to Tranche B Term Loans and shall not apply to any Revolving Loans, which shall be subject to the provisions of Schedule 2.16.
 
2.17.      Pro Rata Treatment and Payments.
 
(a)          Each borrowing by the Borrower from the Revolving Lenders hereunder, each payment by a Borrower on account of any commitment fee and any reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be made pro rata according to the respective Revolving Percentages of the Revolving Lenders.
 
(b)          Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Revolving Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Loans then held by the Revolving Lenders, except as otherwise provided in Section 2.27.
 
(c)          Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest and premium, if any, on the Tranche B Term Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Tranche B Term Loans then held by the Tranche B Term Lenders. Subject to Section 2.11(d), the amount of each principal prepayment of the Tranche B Term Loans shall be applied to reduce the then remaining installments of the Tranche B Term Loans in the direct order of maturity. Amounts prepaid on account of the Tranche B Term Loans may not be reborrowed.
 
(d)         All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, at its Domestic Funding Office, in U.S. Dollars and in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the LIBO Rate Loans or Term Benchmark Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a LIBO Rate Loan or a Term Benchmark Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.
 
68
(e)         Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the daily average NYFRB Rate for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive absent manifest error. If such Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days of such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate, on demand, from the Borrower.
 
(f)          Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Borrower prior to the date of any payment being made hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower is making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Lenders their respective pro rata shares of a corresponding amount. If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower within three Business Days of such required date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate.
 
2.18.       Requirements of Law.
 
(a)          If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Credit Party with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:
 
(i)         shall subject such Credit Party to any Tax (except for, without duplication, Non-Excluded Taxes and Taxes described in clauses (i) through (iv) of the definition of Non-Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;
 
(ii)         shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement (including any insurance charge or other assessment, but other than any reserve requirement contemplated by Section 2.18(e)) against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Credit Party; or
 
69
(iii)         shall impose on such Credit Party or the London interbank or other relevant market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or the Loans made by such Credit Party (other than Taxes);
 
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Credit Party, by an amount that such Credit Party deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Loans or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall pay such Credit Party, following thirty (30) days’ prior written demand and delivery of the calculation of such amount, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Credit Party for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. If any Credit Party becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph, it shall promptly notify the Company (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled together with a calculation of such amount claimed; provided that failure or delay on the part of any Credit Party to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.18(a) shall not constitute a waiver of such Credit Party’s right to demand such compensation; provided further that the Company shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this paragraph for any amounts incurred more than 90 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Company of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; and provided further that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such 90-day period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect; provided further that in respect of clause (a)(i), the Company shall be required to make such payment only if the respective Lender certifies that it generally requires similarly situated borrowers in comparable syndicated credit facilities to which it is a lender to make similar payments.
 
(b)         If any Credit Party shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Credit Party, or any corporation controlling such Credit Party with any request or directive regarding capital or liquidity requirements (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the Closing Date shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Credit Party’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Credit Party’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Credit Party to the Company (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor, the Borrower shall pay to such Credit Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Credit Party for such reduction; provided that the Company shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this paragraph for any amounts incurred more than 90 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Company of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such 90-day period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect; and provided further that the Company shall be required to make such payment only if the respective Lender certifies that it generally requires similarly situated borrowers in comparable syndicated credit facilities to which it is a lender to make similar payments.
 
(c)        Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (y) 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 or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall be deemed to be a change in a Requirement of Law, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.
 
(d)         A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by any Credit Party to the Company (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The obligations of the Company pursuant to this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
 
70
(e)         The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, without duplication, (i) as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each LIBO Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), and (ii) as long as such Lender shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any other central banking or financing regulatory authority imposed in respect of the maintenance of the Commitments or the funding of any LIBO Rate Loans of the Borrower, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Commitment or Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), which in each case shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan; provided the Company shall have received at least 30 days’ prior written notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest or cost from such Lender; provided further that the Company shall be required to make such payment only if the respective Lender certifies that it generally requires similarly situated borrowers in comparable syndicated credit facilities to which it is a lender to make similar payments.
 
(f)           If, in any applicable jurisdiction, it becomes unlawful for a Revolving Lender to perform any of its obligations as contemplated by this Agreement or to fund, issue or maintain its participation in any Revolving Loan or it becomes unlawful for any Affiliate of a Revolving Lender for that Revolving Lender to do so, that Revolving Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent upon becoming aware of that event; upon the Administrative Agent notifying the Borrower, each Available Revolving Commitment of that Revolving Lender will be immediately cancelled; and to the extent that the Lender’s participation has not been transferred pursuant to Section 2.22, the Borrower shall repay that Revolving Lender’s participation in the Revolving Loans made to the Borrower, together with any amounts otherwise payable pursuant to Section 2.18, on the last day of the Interest Period for each Revolving Loan occurring after the Administrative Agent has notified the Borrower or, if earlier, the date specified by the Revolving Lender in the notice delivered to the Administrative Agent (being no earlier than the last day of any applicable grace period permitted by law) and that Revolving Lender’s corresponding Revolving Commitment(s) shall be immediately cancelled in the amount of the participations repaid.
 
2.19.       Taxes.
 
(a)          Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is a Non-Excluded Tax or Other Taxes, then the amount payable by the Borrower to the Credit Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Credit Party receives an amount that  would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. Whenever any Taxes are payable by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.19, as soon as practicable thereafter the Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent the original or certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment.
 
71
(b)        In addition, the Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of any Other Taxes.
 
(c)       The Borrower shall indemnify each Credit Party, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes (including Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Credit Party or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Credit Party and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be obligated to indemnify such Credit Party pursuant to this Section 2.19 in respect of penalties, interest and other liabilities are attributable to the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Credit Party. After a Credit Party learns of the imposition of Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes, such Credit Party will act in good faith to promptly notify the Borrower of its obligations thereunder. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
 
(d)         Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for any Taxes (i) attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) or (ii) attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.6(b) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, in either case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (d).
 
(e)          If the Administrative Agent or any Lender is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document, such Administrative Agent or Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.19(f)) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
 
(f)          Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
 
72
(i)          Each Lender (or Transferee) that is a “United States person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “U.S. Person”) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), two properly completed and duly signed copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service  Form W-9 (or any successor form) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax.
 
(ii)          Each Lender (or Transferee) that is not a U.S. Person (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent.):
 
(A)         in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, two properly completed and duly signed copies of IRS Form W- 8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, two completed and duly signed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;
 
(B)         in case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming that its extension of credit will generate U.S. effectively connected income, two properly completed and duly signed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;
 
(C)        in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F to the effect that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or a CFC related to the Borrower as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or
 
(D)       to the extent a Non-U.S. Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Non-U.S. Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Non-U.S. Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner.
 
(iii)       Any Non-U.S. Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or about the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), two completed and duly signed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made;
 
73
(iv)        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 Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment; and
 
(v)          The Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower two executed copies of whichever of the following is applicable:
 
(A)         if the Administrative Agent is a U.S. Person, IRS Form W-9 certifying to such Administrative Agent’s exemption from U.S. federal backup withholding; or
 
(B)          if the Administrative Agent is not a U.S. Person, (x) IRS Form W-8ECI with respect to payments received for its own account; and (y) IRS Form W-8IMY with respect to any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent for the accounts of others, clarifying that it is a U.S. branch of a foreign bank or insurance company described in Regulations section 1.1441-1(b)(2)(iv)(A) that is a “participating foreign financial institution” or PFFI (including a reporting Model 2 FFI), registered deemed-compliant FFI (including a reporting Model 1 FFI), or “non-financial foreign entity” that is using this form as evidence of its agreement with the withholding agent to be treated as a U.S. Person with respect to any payments associated with this withholding certificate.
 
(g)         The Administrative Agent and each Lender agree that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
 
(h)         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 2.19 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.19), 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 Section 2.19(h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.19(h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.19(h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This Section 2.19(h) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(i)           For purposes of this Section 2.19, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.
 
(j)          All amounts expressed to be payable under a Loan Document by any party to this Agreement to a Credit Party which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for any supply for VAT purposes are deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on that supply, and accordingly, subject to paragraph (i) below, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Credit Party to any party under a Loan Document and such Credit Party is required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, that party must pay to such Credit Party (in addition to and at the same time as paying any other consideration for such supply) an amount equal to the amount of the VAT (and such Credit Party must promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to that party; provided, however, that any Israeli Credit Party shall not be required to provide a VAT invoice in respect of any VAT amounts payable to any of its third party suppliers or service providers).
 
(i)          If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Credit Party (the “Supplier”) to any other Credit Party (the “Recipient”) under a Loan Document, and any party other than the Recipient (the “Relevant Party”) is required by the terms of any Loan Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for that supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse or indemnify the Recipient in respect of that consideration):
 
(A)         (where the Supplier is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT) the Relevant Party must also pay to the Supplier (at the same time as paying that amount) an additional amount equal to the amount of the VAT.  The Recipient must (where this paragraph (i) applies) promptly pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment the Recipient receives from the relevant tax authority which the Recipient reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply; and
 
(B)        (where the Recipient is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT) the Relevant Party must promptly, following demand from the Recipient, pay to the Recipient an amount equal to the VAT chargeable on that supply but only to the extent that the Recipient reasonably determines that it is not entitled to credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of that VAT.
 
(ii)          Where a Loan Document requires any party to reimburse or indemnify a Credit Party for any cost or expense, that party shall reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) such Credit Party for the full amount of such cost or expense, including such part thereof as represents VAT, save to the extent that such Credit Party reasonably determines that it is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority.
 
(iii)        Any reference in this Section 2.19(j) to any party shall, at any time when such party is treated as a member of a group for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the representative member of such group at such time (the term “representative member” to have the same meaning as in the Value Added Tax Act 1994).
 
(iv)         In relation to any supply made by a Credit Party to any party under a Loan Document, if reasonably requested by such Credit Party, that party must promptly provide such Credit Party with details of that party’s VAT registration and such other information as is reasonably requested in connection with such Credit Party’s VAT reporting requirements in relation to such supply.
 
75
(k)         Each party’s obligations under this Section shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment or 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.
 
2.20.     Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of LIBO Rate Loans or Term Benchmark Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment of or conversion from LIBO Rate Loans or Term Benchmark Loans after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a payment of LIBO Rate Loans or Term Benchmark Loans (including pursuant to Sections 2.22 or 10.1(b)) on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Such indemnification, which shall be payable within 30 days of written demand therefor, may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the amount so prepaid or returned, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or return or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank eurodollar market or other applicable interbank market. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted to the Borrower by any Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
 
2.21.      Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Sections 2.18 or 2.19 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Company, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided, that such designation is made on terms that, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, (i) would eliminate or reduce the amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.18 or Section 2.19, as the case may be, in the future, (ii) would not subject such Lender to (A) any unreimbursed cost or expense or (B) significant investment of time or effort and (iii) would not otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender, and provided, further, that nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.18 or 2.19. The Company hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation.
 
76
2.22.     Replacement of Lenders. The Company shall be permitted, at its sole expense and effort, with respect to any Lender that (a) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.18 or Section 2.19, (b) has become a Defaulting Lender hereunder or (c) in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of “each Lender” or “each Lender directly affected thereby” (or any other Class or group of Lenders other than the Required Lenders or Required Revolving Lenders) with respect to which Required Lender or Required Revolving Lender consent, as applicable (or the consent of Lenders holding loans or commitments of such Class or lesser group representing more than 50% of the sum of the total loans and unused commitments of such Class or lesser group at such time) has been obtained, as applicable, is a non-consenting Lender (each such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”) (1) to replace such Lender, with a replacement financial institution; provided that (i) the replacement financial institution shall purchase, at par, all Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (ii) the Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Section 2.20 for any losses suffered or expenses incurred by such Lender if any LIBO Rate Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (iii) the replacement financial institution, if not already a Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent to the extent such consent is required pursuant to Section 10.6, (iv) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6 (provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein) or pursuant to other procedures agreed upon by the Company and the Administrative Agent including deemed assignments upon payment to the replaced Lender of amounts required to be paid to it pursuant to this Section 2.22, (v) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.18 or 2.19, as the case may be, and (vi) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender or (2) terminate the Commitment of such Lender and in the case of a Lender, repay all Obligations of the Borrower owing to such Lender relating to the applicable Loans, Commitments and participations held by such Lender as of such termination date. No action by or consent of any Lender referred to in this Section 2.22, including any Defaulting Lender or Non-Consenting Lender shall be necessary in connection with such assignment, which shall be immediately and automatically effective upon payment of the amounts described in the immediately preceding sentence.
 
2.23.       [Reserved].
 
2.24.       Extension of the Facilities.
 
(a)          (I) The Borrower may at any time and from time to time, request that all or a portion of the Term Loans of a given Class (or series or tranche thereof) (each, an “Existing Term Loan Tranche”) be amended to extend the scheduled maturity date(s) with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of such Term Loans (any such Term Loans which have been so amended, “Extended Term Loans”) and to provide for other terms applicable thereto consistent with this Section 2.24. In order to establish any Extended Term Loans, the Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders under the applicable Existing Term Loan Tranche) (each, a “Term Loan Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Term Loans to be established, which shall (x) be identical as offered to each Lender under such Existing Term Loan Tranche (including as to the proposed interest rates and fees payable) and offered pro rata to each Lender under such Existing Term Loan Tranche and (y) be identical to the Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Tranche from which such Extended Term Loans are to be amended, except that: (i) all or any of the scheduled amortization payments of principal of the Extended Term Loans may be delayed to later dates than the scheduled amortization payments of principal of the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Tranche, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; (ii) the All-in Yield with respect to the Extended Term Loans may be different than the All-in Yield for the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Tranche, in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; (iii) the Extension Amendment may provide for other covenants and terms that apply solely to any period after the Latest Maturity Date that is in effect on the effective date of the Extension Amendment; and (iv) the Extended Term Loans may have prepayment premiums or call protection as may be agreed by the Borrower and the Lenders thereof; provided that that (A) in no event shall the final maturity date of any Extended Term Loans of a given Term Loan Extension Series at the time of establishment thereof be earlier than the maturity date of the applicable Existing Term Loan Tranche, (B) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Extended Term Loans of a given Term Loan Extension Series at the time of establishment thereof shall be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the applicable Existing Term Loan Tranche, (C) all documentation in respect of such Extension Amendment shall be consistent with the foregoing and (D) any Extended Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or less than a pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis) in any mandatory repayments or prepayments hereunder, in each case as specified in the respective Term Loan Extension Request. Any Class of Extended Term Loans amended pursuant to any Term Loan Extension Request shall be designated a series (each, a “Term Loan Extension Series”) of Extended Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that any Extended Term Loans amended from an Existing Term Loan Tranche may, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, be designated as an increase in any previously established Term Loan Extension Series with respect to such Existing Term Loan Tranche. Each Term Loan Extension Series of Extended Term Loans incurred under this Section 2.24 shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $20,000,000 (or such lesser amount as to which the Administrative Agent may agree).
 
77
(II)       The Company may at any time and from time to time, in its sole discretion, request that all or a portion of the Revolving Commitments or commitments in respect of an Incremental Revolving Facility (“Incremental Revolving Commitments”) of a given Class (or series or tranche thereof) (each, an “Existing Revolver Tranche”) be amended to extend the maturity date with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of such Revolving Commitments or Incremental Revolving Commitments (any such Revolving Commitments or Incremental Revolving Commitments which have been so amended, “Extended Revolving Commitments”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.24. In order to establish any Extended Revolving Commitments, the Company shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders under the applicable Existing Revolver Tranche) (each, a “Revolver Extension Request” and together with a Term Loan Extension Request, an “Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Revolving Commitments to be established, which shall (x) be identical as offered to each Lender under such Existing Revolver Tranche (including as to the proposed interest rates and fees payable) and offered pro rata to each Lender under such Existing Revolver Tranche and (y) be identical to the Revolving Commitments under the Existing Revolver Tranche from which such Extended Revolving Commitments are to be amended, except that: (i) the maturity date of the Extended Revolving Commitments may be delayed to a later date than the maturity date of the Revolving Commitments of such Existing Revolver Tranche, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; (ii) the All-in Yield with respect to extensions of credit under the Extended Revolving Commitments (whether in the form of interest rate margin, upfront fees, commitment fees, OID or otherwise) may be different than the All-in Yield for extensions of credit under the Revolving Commitments of such Existing Revolver Tranche, in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; (iii) the Extension Amendment may provide for other covenants and terms that apply solely to any period after the Latest Maturity Date that is in effect on the effective date of the Extension Amendment; and (iv) all borrowings under the applicable Revolving Commitments (i.e., the Existing Revolver Tranche and the Extended Revolving Commitments of the applicable Revolver Extension Series) and repayments thereunder shall be made on a pro rata basis (except for (I) payments of interest and fees at different rates on Extended Revolving Commitments (and related outstandings) and (II) repayments required upon the maturity date of the non-extending Revolving Commitments); provided, further, that all documentation in respect of such Extension Amendment shall be consistent with the foregoing. Any Extended Revolving Commitments amended pursuant to any Revolver Extension Request shall be designated a series (each, a “Revolver Extension Series” (and together with a Term Loan Extension Series, any “Extension Series”)) of Extended Revolving Commitments for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that any Extended Revolving Commitments amended from an Existing Revolver Tranche may, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, be designated as an increase in any previously established Revolver Extension Series with respect to such Existing Revolver Tranche. Each Revolver Extension Series of Extended Revolving Commitments incurred under this Section 2.24 shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $5,000,000 (or such lesser amount as to which the Administrative Agent may agree).
 
78
(b)         The Borrower shall provide the applicable Extension Request at least three (3) Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior to the date on which Lenders under the Existing Term Loan Tranche or Existing Revolver Tranche, as applicable, are requested to respond, and shall agree to such procedures, if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.24. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Term Loans of any Existing Term Loan Tranche amended into Extended Term Loans or any of its Revolving Commitments amended into Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, pursuant to any Extension Request. Any Lender holding a Loan under an Existing Term Loan Tranche (each, an “Extending Term Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Tranche subject to such Extension Request amended into Extended Term Loans and any Revolving Lender (each, an “Extending Revolving Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Revolving Commitments under the Existing Revolver Tranche subject to such Extension Request amended into Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, shall notify the Administrative Agent (each, an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Tranche or Revolving Commitments under the Existing Revolver Tranche, as applicable, which it has elected to request be amended into Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable (subject to any minimum denomination requirements imposed by the Administrative Agent). In the event that the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Tranche or Revolving Commitments under the Existing Revolver Tranche, as applicable, in respect of which applicable Term Lenders or Revolving Lenders, as the case may be, shall have accepted the relevant Extension Request exceeds the amount of Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, requested to be extended pursuant to the Extension Request, Term Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, subject to Extension Elections shall be amended to Extended Term Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, on a pro rata basis (subject to rounding by the Administrative Agent, which shall be conclusive absent manifest error) based on the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, included in each such Extension Election.
 
(c)        Extended Term Loans and Extended Revolving Commitments shall be established pursuant to an amendment (each, an “Extension Amendment”) to this Agreement among the Company, the Administrative Agent and each Extending Term Lender or Extending Revolving Lender, as applicable, providing an Extended Term Loan or Extended Revolving Commitment, as applicable, thereunder, which shall be consistent with the provisions set forth in Section 2.24(a) above, respectively (but which shall not require the consent of any other Lender). The effectiveness of any Extension Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof of each of the conditions set forth in Section 5.3 and, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, receipt by the Administrative Agent of reaffirmation agreements and/or such amendments to the Security Documents as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in order to ensure that the Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, are provided with the benefit of the applicable Loan Documents. The Company may, at its election, specify as a condition to consummating any Extension Amendment that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Extension Request in the Company’s sole discretion and as may be waived by the Company) of Term Loans, Revolving Commitments or Incremental Revolving Commitments (as applicable) of any or all applicable Classes be tendered. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Extension Amendment. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended pursuant to an Extension Amendment, without the consent of any other Lenders, to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to (i) reflect the existence and terms of the Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, incurred pursuant thereto, (ii) modify the scheduled repayments set forth in Section 2.3 with respect to any Existing Term Loan Tranche subject to an Extension Election to reflect a reduction in the principal amount of the Term Loans thereunder in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Extended Term Loans amended pursuant to the applicable Extension Election (with such amount to be applied ratably to reduce scheduled repayments of such Term Loans required pursuant to Section 2.3), (iii) modify the prepayments set forth in Section 2.3 to reflect the existence of the Extended Term Loans and the application of prepayments with respect thereto, (iv) make such other changes to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents consistent with the provisions and intent of Section 10.1 (without the consent of the Required Lenders called for therein) and (v) effect such other amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Company, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.24, and the Required Lenders hereby expressly authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any such Extension Amendment.
 
79
(d)        No extension of Loans pursuant to any Extension Election in accordance with this Section 2.24 shall constitute a voluntary or mandatory payment or prepayment for purposes of this Agreement.
 
(e)          This Section 2.24 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.17(d) or 10.1 to the contrary.
 
2.25.       Incremental Loan Extensions.
 
(a)         The Borrower may, at any time, on one or more occasions pursuant to an Incremental Facility Amendment (i) add one or more new Classes of term facilities and/or increase the principal amount of any Term Loans of any existing Class by requesting new term loan commitments to be added to such Loans (any such new Class or increase, an “Incremental Term Facility” and any loans made pursuant to an Incremental Term Facility, “Incremental Term Loans”) and/or (ii) add one or more new Classes of revolving commitments and/or increase the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments of any existing Class (any such new Class or increase, an “Incremental Revolving Facility” and, together with any Incremental Term Facility, “Incremental Facilities”, or either or any thereof, an “Incremental Facility”; and the loans thereunder, “Incremental Revolving Loans” and, together with any Incremental Term Loans, “Incremental Loans”) in an aggregate outstanding principal amount not to exceed the Incremental Cap; provided that:
 
(i)          no commitments in respect of Incremental Loans (“Incremental Commitment”) in respect of any Incremental Facility may be in an amount that is less than $10,000,000 (or such lesser amount to which the Administrative Agent may reasonably agree),
 
(ii)        except as separately agreed from time to time between the Borrower and any Lender, no Lender shall be obligated to provide any Incremental Commitment, and the determination to provide such commitments shall be within the sole and absolute discretion of such Lender (it being agreed that the Borrower shall not be obligated to offer the opportunity to any Lender to participate in any Incremental Facility),
 
(iii)        no Incremental Facility or Incremental Loan (nor the creation, provision or implementation thereof) shall require the approval of any existing Lender other than in its capacity, if any, as a lender providing all or part of such Incremental Facility or Incremental Loan,
 
(iv)       the final maturity date of any Incremental Revolving Facility or any Incremental Term Facility shall be no earlier than the Latest Maturity Date and the final maturity date of any Incremental Term Facility consisting of a tranche B term facility (i.e., a term loan facility having amortization, tenor and other terms customary for the term loan B market) (an “Incremental Tranche B Term Facility”) shall be no earlier than the Latest Maturity Date in respect of the Tranche B Term Facility and any other Incremental Tranche B Term Facility then outstanding; provided, that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to a customary bridge facility which, subject to customary conditions, automatically convert into long-term debt satisfying the requirements of this clause (iv) or to any Incremental Revolving Facility incurred in reliance on the Inside Maturity Basket,
 
80
(v)          the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Incremental Term Facility shall be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Tranche B Term Facility; provided, that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to a customary bridge facility which, subject to customary conditions, automatically convert into long-term debt satisfying the requirements of this clause (v); provided, further, that the foregoing shall not apply to the extent the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Incremental Term Facility is shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Tranche B Facility solely to the extent necessary to make such Incremental Term Facility fungible with the Tranche B Term Facility,
 
(vi)       subject to clauses (iv) and (v) above, any Incremental Term Facility may otherwise have an amortization schedule as determined by the Borrower and the lenders providing such Incremental Term Facility,
 
(vii)       to the extent applicable, the fees payable in connection with any Incremental Facility shall be determined by the Borrower and the arrangers and/or lenders providing such Incremental Facility,
 
(viii)     (A)each Incremental Facility shall rank pari passu (but without regard to the control of remedies) with the initial Tranche B Term Loans (in the case of any Incremental Term Facility) and pari passu (but without regard to the control of remedies) with the initial Revolving Loans (in the case of Incremental Revolving Loans), in each case in right of payment and security and (B) no Incremental Facility may be (x) guaranteed by any Subsidiaries other than Subsidiaries that are Guarantors or (y) secured by Liens on any assets other than the Collateral,
 
(ix)        any Incremental Term Facility may provide for the ability to participate (A) a pro rata basis or non-pro rata basis in any voluntary prepayment of Term Loans, in each case, made pursuant to Section 2.10 and (B) on a pro rata or less than pro rata basis (but not on a greater than pro rata basis, other than in the case of prepayment with proceeds of Indebtedness refinancing such Incremental Term Loans) in any mandatory prepayment of Term Loans required pursuant to Section 2.11(b),
 
(x)         no Event of Default shall exist immediately prior to or after giving effect to the effectiveness of such Incremental Facility (except in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction, where solely to the extent required by the Lenders providing such Incremental Facility, no such Event of Default shall exist at the time as elected by the Company pursuant to Section 1.4(d)),
 
(xi)        except as otherwise required or permitted in clauses (i) through (x) above and except in the case of any increase in the principal amount of Loans of any existing Class, all other terms of any Incremental Facility shall be as agreed between the Borrower and the Lenders providing such Incremental Facility; provided that, to the extent such terms are not consistent with the terms in respect of the applicable Facility, they shall be not materially more restrictive (as determined by the Borrower in good faith), when taken as a whole, than those under such applicable Facility (except for covenants or other provisions (x) applicable only to periods after the maturity date of such applicable Facility, (y) that are also added for the benefit of each applicable Facility or (z) that are reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent); provided that, in the case of clauses (w), (y) and (z), if any financial maintenance covenant for the benefit of any Incremental Facility is added or is more restrictive than the financial maintenance covenant then applicable to any then-existing Revolving Facility, such financial maintenance covenant shall be applied to any then-existing Revolving Facility,
 
81
(xii)       the terms in respect of any Incremental Facility constituting an increase in the principal amount of an existing Class shall be the same as the terms of such existing Class;
 
(xiii)     the proceeds of any Incremental Facility may be used for working capital, Capital Expenditures and other general corporate purposes of the Company and/or its Subsidiaries (including permitted Restricted Payments, Investments, permitted acquisitions, Restricted Debt Payments) and any other purpose not prohibited by the terms of the Loan Documents, and
 
(xiv)      on the date of the making of any Incremental Term Loans that will be added to any Class of then existing Term Loans, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Sections 2.14, such Incremental Term Loans shall be added to each borrowing of outstanding Term Loans of such Class on a pro rata basis (based on the relative sizes of such borrowings), so that each Term Lender providing such Incremental Term Loans will participate proportionately in each then-outstanding borrowing of Term Loans of such Class; it being acknowledged that the application of this clause 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 LIBO Rate Loans of the relevant Class and which end on the last day of such Interest Period.
 
(xv)       solely in the case of any U.S. dollar-denominated Incremental Facility that is secured on a pari passu basis with the Tranche B Term Facility, if the All-in Yield applicable to any such Incremental Facility determined as of the initial funding date for such Incremental Facility is more than 0.75% higher than the corresponding All-in Yield applicable to the Tranche B Term Facility, then the interest rate margin for the Tranche B Term Facility shall be increased by an amount equal to the difference between the All-in Yield with respect to such Incremental Facility and the corresponding All-in Yield on the Tranche B Term Facility, minus 0.75% (for purposes of such calculation and with respect to any such facility, (x) subject to clause (z) below, All-in Yield shall be deemed to include all upfront fees and original issue discount (based on a four-year average life to maturity or, if less, the remaining life to maturity) payable to all lenders providing such facility and (y) if the Incremental Facility includes a “LIBOR” interest rate floor greater than the applicable interest rate floor under the Tranche B Term Facility and such floor is greater than the Adjusted LIBO Rate for a 3-month interest period at such time, such excess amount (above the greater of such floor and such Adjusted LIBO Rate) shall be equated to the applicable interest rate margin for purposes of determining whether an increase to the interest rate margin under the Tranche B Term Facility shall be required, but only to the extent an increase in the interest rate floor in the Tranche B Term Facility would cause an increase in the interest rate then in effect thereunder, and in such case, the interest rate floor (but not the interest rate margin) applicable to the Tranche B Term Facility shall be increased to the extent of such excess.
 
(b)          Incremental Commitments may be provided by any existing Lender or by any other Assignee (any such other Assignee being called an “Additional Lender”); provided that the Administrative Agent shall have consented (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to the relevant Additional Lender’s provision of Incremental Commitments if such consent would be required under Section 10.6(c) for an assignment of Loans to such Additional Lender.
 
(c)        Each Lender or Additional Lender providing a portion of any Incremental Commitment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower all such documentation (including the relevant Incremental Facility Amendment) as may be reasonably required by the Administrative Agent to evidence and effectuate such Incremental Commitment. On the effective date of such Incremental Commitment, each Additional Lender shall become a Lender for all purposes in connection with this Agreement.
 
82
(d)         As a condition precedent to the effectiveness of any Incremental Facility or the making of any Incremental Loans, (i) upon its request, the Administrative Agent shall have received reaffirmation agreements, supplements and/or amendments as it shall reasonably require, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received, from each Additional Lender, an Administrative Questionnaire and such other documents as it shall reasonably require from such Additional Lender and (iii) the Administrative Agent and applicable Additional Lenders shall have received all fees required to be paid in respect of such Incremental Facility or Incremental Loans.
 
(e)          The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any Incremental Facility Amendment and/or any amendment to any other Loan Document with the Company and/or the Borrower as may be necessary in order to establish new or any increase in any Classes or sub-Classes in respect of Loans or commitments pursuant to this Section 2.25 and such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in connection with the establishment of such Classes or sub-Classes, in each case on terms consistent with this Section 2.25 (including with respect to (i) establishing Incremental Revolving Commitments denominated in a foreign currency, (ii) the incorporation of customary agency provisions of the Administrative Agent required for the administration of a revolving credit facility, letter of credit facility and/or swing line loan facility established pursuant to any Class of Incremental Revolving Commitments (including provisions with respect to the inclusion of a customary base rate option for Borrowings under such revolving credit facility), (iii) the appointment of a letter of credit issuer and/or swing line lender pursuant to any Class of Incremental Revolving Commitments and/or (iv) the appointment of one or more a Subsidiary Guarantors as a Borrower in respect of such Incremental Facility).
 
(f)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.25 (including Section 2.25(d)) or in any other provision of any Loan Document, if the proceeds of any Incremental Term Facility are intended to be applied to finance an acquisition or other Investment and the lenders providing such Incremental Term 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 in connection with such acquisition or other Investment).
 
(g)          This Section 2.25 shall supersede any provision in Section 2.17 or 10.1 to the contrary.
 
(h)          Upon the implementation of any Incremental Revolving Facility pursuant to this Section 2.25:

SECTION 9.        THE AGENTS
 
9.1.        Appointment.
 
(a)          Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Administrative Agent as the agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent.
 
(b)        The Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto.
 
127
9.2.       Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.
 
9.3.        Exculpatory Provisions. Neither any Agent nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such Person’s own bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agents under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Loan Party a party thereto to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Agents shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party.
 
9.4.        Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders) if the Administrative Agent believes in good faith that such action shall expose it to liability or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.
 
9.5.        Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders as set forth in this Agreement (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders); provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders and permitted by this Agreement.
 
128
9.6.        Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates and made its own decision to make its extensions of credit hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.
 
9.7.       Indemnification. The Lenders agree to severally indemnify each Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Aggregate Exposure Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Aggregate Exposure Percentages immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent’s bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section 9.7 shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
 
9.8.        Agent in Its Individual Capacity. Each Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party as though such Agent was not an Agent. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include each Agent in its individual capacity.
 
129
9.9.        Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 20 days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 8(a) or Section 8(f) with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is 20 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint (with the consent of the Borrower (to the extent required by the immediately preceding sentence)) a successor agent as provided for above. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
 
9.10.      Certain ERISA Matters.  (a) Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true:
 
(i)          such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise) of one or more Benefit Plans with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments or this Agreement,
 
(ii)       the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement,
 
(iii)       (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement, or
 
(iv)        such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender.
 
130
(b)         In addition, unless sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or such Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that the Administrative Agent is not a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).
 
9.11.     Agents.  None of the Arrangers or Agents (other than the Administrative Agent) identified in this Agreement shall have any rights, powers, obligations, liabilities, responsibilities or duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except in its capacity, as applicable, as a Lender hereunder.  Without limiting any other provision of this Section 9, no such Arranger or Agent in its capacity as such shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or any other Person by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
 
9.12.      Credit Bidding.  The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations (including by accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar laws in any other jurisdictions to which a Loan Party is subject, or (b) at any other sale, foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid by the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that shall vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) for the asset or assets so purchased (or for the equity interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are issued in connection with such purchase). In connection with any such bid, (i) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles and to assign any successful credit bid to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, (ii) each of the Secured Parties’ ratable interests in the Obligations which were credit bid shall be deemed without any further action under this Agreement to be assigned to such vehicle or vehicles for the purpose of closing such sale, (iii) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by the Administrative Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or equity interests thereof, shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by, and the governing documents shall provide for, control by the vote of the Required Lenders or their permitted assignees under the terms of this Agreement or the governing documents of the applicable acquisition vehicle or vehicles, as the case may be, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Required Lenders contained in Section 10.1), (iv) the Administrative Agent on behalf of such acquisition vehicle or vehicles shall be authorized to issue to each of the Secured Parties, ratably on account of the relevant Obligations which were credit bid, interests, whether as equity, partnership interests, limited partnership interests or membership interests, in any such acquisition vehicle and/or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle, all without the need for any Secured Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (v) to the extent that Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of Obligations credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Secured Parties pro rata with their original interest in such Obligations and the equity interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of such Obligations shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action. Notwithstanding that the ratable portion of the Obligations of each Secured Party are deemed assigned to the acquisition vehicle or vehicles as set forth in clause (ii) above, each Secured Party shall execute such documents and provide such information regarding the Secured Party (and/or any designee of the Secured Party which will receive interests in or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle) as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in connection with the formation of any acquisition vehicle, the formulation or submission of any credit bid or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such credit bid.
 
131
9.13.       Erroneous Payments.
 
(a)         Each Lender hereby agrees that (x) if the Administrative Agent notifies such Lender that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Lender from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, a “Payment”) were erroneously transmitted to such Lender (whether or not known to such Lender), and demands the return of such Payment (or a portion thereof), such Lender shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect, and (y) to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender shall not assert, and hereby waives, as to the Administrative Agent, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Payments received, including without limitation any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.  A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender under this Section 9.13 shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
 
(b)         Each Lender hereby further agrees that if it receives a Payment from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Payment (a “Payment Notice”) or (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, it shall be on notice, in each such case, that an error has been made with respect to such Payment. Each Lender agrees that, in each such case, or if it otherwise becomes aware a Payment (or portion thereof) may have been sent in error, such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.
 
132
(c)         The Borrower and each other Loan Party hereby agrees that (x) in the event an erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Lender that has received such Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Lender with respect to such amount to the maximum extent permitted by law and (y) an erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party; provided that this clause (c) shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), any Obligations of the Loan Parties in respect of principal and interest hereunder relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the Obligations of the Loan Parties in respect of principal and interest hereunder that would have been payable had such erroneous Payment not been made by the Administrative Agent; provided, further, that for the avoidance of doubt, this clause (c) shall not apply to the extent any such Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower or any other Loan Party for the purpose of making such Payment, satisfying Obligations or from the proceeds of Collateral.
 
(d)         Each party’s obligations under this Section 9.13 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations under any Loan Document.

provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any waiver or amendment of any condition precedent set forth in Section 5.2 as it pertains to any loans under the Revolving Facility shall require the written consent of only the Company and the Required Revolving Lenders (and not the Required Lenders).

(b)          Limitation of Liability.  None of the Administrative Agent, any Arranger or any Lender, or any Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called a “Lender-Related Person”) shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems, except to the extent any such damages are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Lender-Related Person. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, (i) each party hereto agrees that it shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any other party hereto, the Company, any Lender-Related Person or any of their respective Related Parties on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan, or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that the foregoing shall not limit the obligations of the Borrower under this Section 10.5 in respect of any such damages claimed against the Indemnitees by Persons other than Indemnitees.
 
136
(c)       Indemnity.  The Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless each Lender, each Agent and the Administrative Agent and their respective Related Parties (each, an “Indemnitee”) from and against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims (including intraparty claims), demands, damages and liabilities (“Liabilities”) to which any such Indemnitee may become subject arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, any Loan Documents, the Transactions or any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation, arbitration or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing (including in relation to enforcing the terms of this paragraph) (each, a “Proceeding”), regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, whether or not such Proceedings are brought by the Company, its equity holders, Related Parties, Affiliates, creditors or any other person, and to reimburse each Indemnitee from time to time, within 30 days following the presentation of a summary statement, for any reasonable and invoiced out-of-pocket legal expenses of one firm of counsel for all such Indemnitees, taken as a whole, and of a single local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction (which may include a single special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) for all such Indemnitees, taken as a whole (and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, of another firm of counsel (and, if applicable, another firm of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction) for all similarly affected Indemnitees), in connection with any of the foregoing, provided that the foregoing indemnity will not, as to any Indemnitee, apply to Liabilities or related expenses to the extent they (i) are found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to arise from the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of such Indemnitee or its Related parties, (ii) are found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to result from a material breach of the obligations of such Indemnitee or any such Indemnitee’s Related Parties under this Agreement or (iii) result from any Proceeding that does not involve an act or omission by the Company or its Affiliates and that is brought by an Indemnitee or Related Party against any other Indemnitee or Related Party (other than any claims against any Indemnitee in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as an agent or arranger or any similar role in connection with this Agreement).

(e)          Payments.  All amounts due under this Section 10.5 shall be payable not later than 30 days after written demand therefor.
 
10.6.      Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments.
 
137
(a)          This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company, the Borrower, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, all future holders of the Loans and their respective successors and assigns, except that none of the Borrower or the Company may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each Lender (except in a transaction permitted by Section 7.4).
 
(b)        Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks, financial institutions or other entities other than an Ineligible Institution (each, a “Participant”) participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Loan for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Participant will have no proprietary interest in the benefit of this Agreement or in any monies received by the Lender under or in relation to this Agreement (including in the bankruptcy or similar event of the Lender) and the Company, the other Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In no event shall any Participant under any such participation have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document, or any consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would reduce the principal of or interest on, the Loans or any fees payable hereunder, postpone the date of any scheduled amortization payment or the final maturity of the Loans, in each case to the extent subject to such participation. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and, other than as set forth in the preceding sentence, to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document. The Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.18, 2.19 and 2.20 (subject to the requirements and limitations in Section 2.19) with respect to its participation in the Commitments and the Loans outstanding from time to time as if it was a Lender; provided that such Participant (i) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.21 and 2.22 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (c) of this Section and (ii) shall not be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to Section 2.18 or 2.19 than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Lender to such Participant had no such transfer occurred, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater amount results from a change in law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan 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, each Loan Party and the Administrative Agent shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.
 
138
As used herein, “Ineligible Institution” means (a) a natural person, (b) a Disqualified Lender, (c) a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person or relative(s) thereof, (d) a Defaulting Lender or (e) any of the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates.
 
(c)         Any Lender (an “Assignor”) may, in accordance with applicable law, at any time and from time to time assign (subject to clause (iii) of the proviso below) to any other Lender, any Affiliate of any Lender or any Lender Affiliate (other than any Ineligible Institution) or, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (which, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to an additional bank, financial institution or other entity other than an Ineligible Institution (an “Assignee”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption, executed by such Assignee, such Assignor and any other Person whose consent is required pursuant to this paragraph, and delivered to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register; provided that (i) no such assignment to an Assignee (other than any Lender, any Affiliate of any Lender or any Lender Affiliate), unless otherwise agreed to by the Borrower and Administrative Agent, shall be in an aggregate principal amount of less than $10,000,000 in the case of Revolving Commitments or $500,000 in the case of Term Loans (provided that assignments made by any Lender on the same day to an Assignee and its Affiliates (including any Lender Affiliates) and contemporaneous assignments by Lender Affiliates to a single Assignee may be treated as a single assignment for purposes of satisfying any such minimum assignment amount requirement (other than in the case of an assignment of all of a Lender’s interests under the applicable Facility)), (ii) [reserved], (iii) no Lender may assign any interest in the Revolving Facility (other than, with the consent of the Administrative Agent, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, to an Affiliate of such Lender or, to another Lender then holding Revolving Commitments) without the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and (iv) the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to an assignment if it has not objected thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten Business Days of its receipt of notice thereof. For purposes of the proviso contained in the preceding sentence, the amount described therein shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its related Lender Affiliates, if any (other than in the case of an assignment of all of a Lender’s interests under this Agreement). Any such assignment need not be ratable as among the Facilities. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date determined pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, (x) the Assignee thereunder shall be deemed a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder with a Commitment and/or Loans as set forth therein, and (y) the Assignor thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of an Assignor’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Assignor shall cease to be a party hereto). Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 10.6, the consent of the Borrower shall not be required for any assignment that occurs (I) when an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Borrower or (II) in connection with the primary syndication of the Facility.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower may, in its sole discretion, withhold consent to any assignment to any Person that is not expressly a Disqualified Lender but is known by the Borrower to be an Affiliate of a Disqualified Lender without regard as to whether such Person is identifiable as an Affiliate of a Disqualified Lender on the basis of such Affiliate’s name.
 
(d)         The Administrative Agent shall, on behalf of the Borrower, maintain at its address referred to in Section 10.2, a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and the principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, each other Loan Party, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Loans and any Notes evidencing the Loans recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement. Any assignment of any Loan, whether or not evidenced by a Note, shall be effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the Register (and each Note shall expressly so provide). Any assignment or transfer of all or part of a Loan evidenced by a Note shall be registered on the Register only upon surrender for registration of assignment or transfer of the Note evidencing such Loan, accompanied by a duly executed Assignment and Assumption, and thereupon one or more new Notes shall be issued to the designated Assignee. The Register shall be available for inspection by any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
 
139
(e)         Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Assumption executed by an Assignor, an Assignee and any other Person whose consent is required by Section 10.6(c), together with payment to the Administrative Agent of a registration and processing fee of $3,500 (which shall not be an obligation of the Borrower), the Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Assignment and Assumption and (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register on the effective date determined pursuant thereto.
 
(f)         The Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the Assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Company and its Affiliates and their related parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws.
 
(g)          For avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the provisions of this Section 10.6 concerning assignments of Loans and Notes relate only to absolute assignments and that such provisions do not prohibit assignments creating security interests, including any pledge or assignment by a Lender of any Loan or Note to any Federal Reserve Bank or other central banking authority having jurisdiction over such Lender in accordance with applicable law.
 
(h)          The Borrower, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agrees to issue Notes to any Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in paragraph (g) above.
 
(i)          Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.6, whether or not such assignment or transfer is reflected in the Register, shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section 10.6.
 
140
(j)          The Company shall have the right (i) at the sole expense of any Lender that is a Disqualified Lender and/or the Person that assigned its Commitments and/or Loans to such Disqualified Lender or to any Lender to the extent the Borrower’s consent was requested pursuant to Section 10.6 and not obtained, to seek to replace or terminate such Disqualified Lender or other Lender as a Lender by causing such Lender to (and such Lender shall be obligated to) assign (without recourse) any or all of its Commitments and/or Loans and its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more assignees (which may, at the Company’s sole option, be or include the Company or any Subsidiary); provided that (1) the Administrative Agent shall not have any obligation to the Company to find such a replacement Lender, (2) the Company shall not have any obligation to such Disqualified Lender or other Lender or any other Person to find such a replacement Lender or accept or consent to any such assignment to itself or any other Person and (3) the assignee (or, at its option, the Company) shall pay to such Disqualified Lender or other Lender concurrently with such assignment an amount (which payment shall be deemed payment in full) equal to the lesser of (x) the face principal amount of the Commitments and/or Loans so assigned and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Lender or other Lender paid to acquire such Commitments and/or Loans, in each case without interest thereon (it being understood that if the effective date of such assignment is not an Interest Payment Date, such assignee shall be entitled to receive on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date interest on the principal amount of the Loans so assigned that has accrued and is unpaid from the Interest Payment Date last preceding such effective date (except as may be otherwise agreed between such assignee and the Company)), or (ii) to prepay any Loans held by such Disqualified Lender or other Lender, in whole or in part, by paying an amount (which payment shall be deemed payment in full) equal to the lesser of (x) the face principal amount of the Commitments and/or Loans so prepaid and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Lender or other Lender paid to acquire such Loans (in each case without interest thereon), and if applicable, terminate the Commitments of such Disqualified Lender, in whole or in part.  In connection with any such replacement, (1) if the Disqualified Lender does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly completed Assignment and Assumption and/or any other documentation necessary or appropriate (in the good faith determination of the Administrative Agent or the Company, which determination shall be conclusive) to reflect such replacement by the later of (a) the date on which the replacement Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and Assumption and/or such other documentation and (b) the date as of which the Disqualified Lender shall be paid by the assignee Lender (or, at its option, the Company) the amount required pursuant to this Section 10.6(j), then such Disqualified Lender or other Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Assumption and/or such other documentation as of such date and the Company shall be entitled (but not obligated) to execute and deliver such Assignment and Assumption and/or such other documentation on behalf of such Disqualified Lender or other Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall record such assignment in the Register, (2) each Lender (whether or not then a party hereto) agrees to disclose to the Company the amount that the applicable Disqualified Lender paid to acquire Commitments and/or Loans from such Lender and (3) each Lender that is a Disqualified Lender or other Lender agrees to disclose to the Company the amount it paid to acquire the Commitments and/or Loans held by it.  The Disqualified Lenders List may be (i) posted to the Lenders on both the “Public Side Information” and the “Private Side Information” portions of the Electronic Platform and (ii) made available to the Lenders upon written request to the Administrative Agent. The Borrower hereby acknowledges and consents to the posting and/or distribution of the Disqualified Lenders List pursuant to the terms set forth in this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof relating to Disqualified Lenders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not (x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or participant or prospective Lender or participant is a Disqualified Lender or (y) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans, or disclosure of confidential information, to any Disqualified Lender.
 
(k)         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of its Term Loans to the Company, or any Subsidiary (each, an “Affiliated Lender”) through (x) Dutch auctions or other offers to purchase open to all Lenders on a pro rata basis in accordance with procedures to be established by the “auction agent” consistent with this Section 10.6(k) or (y) open market purchases on a non-pro rata basis (which purchases may be effected at any price as agreed between such Lender and such Affiliated Lender in their respective sole discretion); provided that:
 
(i)          any Term Loans acquired by any Affiliated Lender shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, be retired and cancelled immediately upon the acquisition thereof; provided that upon any such retirement and cancellation, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans shall be deemed reduced by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans so retired and cancelled; provided that to the extent any Term Loans acquired by any Affiliated Lender are not permitted to be retired and cancelled under applicable Requirements of Law, such Affiliated Lender shall be deemed to have acknowledged and agreed that such Term Loans held by such Affiliated Lender shall be disregarded in both the numerator and denominator in the calculation of any Required Lender or other Lender vote and such Affiliated Lender, solely in its capacity as an Affiliated Lender, will not be entitled to (x) attend (including by telephone) or participate in any meeting or discussion (or portion thereof) solely among the Administrative Agent or any Lender or among Lenders to which the Loan Parties or their representatives are not invited or (y) receive any information or material prepared by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any communication by or among the Administrative Agent and one or more Lenders;
 
141
(ii)         no Event of Default exists at the time of acceptance of bids for the Dutch Auction or the confirmation of such open market purchase, as applicable, and purchases of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 10.6(k) may not be funded with the proceeds of Revolving Loans; and
 
(iii)        no Affiliated Lender shall be required to represent or warrant that it is not in possession of material non-public information with respect to the Company and/or any subsidiary thereof and/or their respective securities in connection with any assignment permitted by this Section 10.6(k).
 
10.7.       Adjustments; Set-off. 
 
(a)          Except to the extent that (i) this Agreement expressly provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender or to the Lenders under a particular Facility (including any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for any permitted assignment of or permitted sale of a participation in any of its Loans or Commitments hereunder) or (ii) a payment is made in respect of obligations under Lender Hedge Agreements or Cash Management Obligations, if any Lender (a “Benefitted Lender”) shall receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 8(f), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of the Obligations owing to such other Lender, such Benefitted Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of the Obligations owing to each such other Lender, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefitted Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefitted Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest; provided further, that to the extent prohibited by applicable law as described in the definition of “Excluded Swap Obligation”, no amounts received from, or set off with respect to, any Guarantor shall be applied to any Excluded Swap Obligations of such Guarantor.
 
(b)          In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any Affiliate, branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower, as the case may be. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

10.23.     Acknowledgment Regarding Any Supported QFCs.
 
(a)         To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Hedge Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties hereto acknowledge and agree as set forth in clause (b) below with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States).
 
(b)        In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.  In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.  Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

Changes in the Applicable Margin with respect to Revolving Loans or the Commitment Fee Rate resulting from changes in the Total Net Leverage Ratio shall become effective on the date (the “Adjustment Date”) on which financial statements have been delivered pursuant to Section 6.1 for the most recently ended fiscal quarter or fiscal year of the Company, as applicable, commencing with the first fiscal quarter of the Company following the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date, and shall remain in effect until the next change to be effected pursuant to this paragraph. If any financial statements referred to above are not delivered within the time periods specified above, then, until such financial statements have been delivered (or an earlier date, in the reasonable discretion of the Administrative Agent), the Total Net Leverage Ratio as at the end of the fiscal period that would have been covered thereby shall for purposes of this definition be deemed to be Level III. Each determination of the Total Net Leverage Ratio pursuant to this pricing grid shall be made with respect to (or, in the case of clause (a) of the definition thereof, as at the end of) the Test Period ending at the end of the period covered by the relevant financial statements.
