Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On February 16, 2022, Park Hotels and Resorts Inc., a Delaware corporation, as parent (“Park” or the “Company”), Park Intermediate Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and direct subsidiary of Park (“PIH”), and PK Domestic Property LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and indirect subsidiary of Park (“PK Domestic” and together with PIH, the “Borrowers”) entered into a Fifth Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “Credit Facility Amendment”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto. The Credit Facility Amendment further amends the Credit Agreement, dated as of December 28, 2016 (as amended and supplemented by the First Amendment to Credit Agreement, dated as of June 14, 2019, the Second Amendment to Credit Agreement, dated as of August 28, 2019, the Third Amendment to Credit Agreement, dated as of May 8, 2020, the Fourth Amendment to Credit Agreement, dated as of September 14, 2020, and the Increasing Lender Supplement, dated as of September 14, 2020, the “Existing Credit Agreement”; and the Existing Credit Agreement, as further amended by the Credit Facility Amendment, the “Credit Agreement”), by and among Park, the Borrowers, the lenders from time to time party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, which provides for a $901 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”) with a scheduled maturity date of December 24, 2023.
In addition, on February 16, 2022, the Borrowers, Park, Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto entered into a Third Amendment to Loan Agreement (the “Term Loan Amendment” and, together with the Credit Facility Amendment, the “Amendments”) to further amend the Delayed Draw Term Loan Agreement, dated as of August 28, 2019 (as amended by the First Amendment to Loan Agreement, dated as of May 8, 2020, and the Second Amendment to Loan Agreement, dated as of September 14, 2020, the “Existing Term Loan Agreement”; and the Existing Term Loan Agreement, as further amended by the Term Loan Amendment, the “Term Loan Agreement”), by and among Park, the Borrowers, the lenders from time to time party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, which provides for a senior unsecured term loan facility with a current outstanding principal balance of $78 million (the “2019 Term Loan”) and a scheduled maturity date of August 28, 2024.
The Amendments (i) further extend the suspension of the testing of Park’s existing financial maintenance covenants under the Credit Agreement and the Term Loan Agreement from the date the financial statements are required to be delivered for the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2022 to the date the financial statements are required to be delivered for the fiscal quarters ending (x) June 30, 2022, with respect to the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, and (y) September 30, 2022, with respect to all other financial maintenance covenants (in each case, unless PIH elects an earlier date) (such period between February 16, 2022 and such later extended required date of delivery, the “Extended Covenant Relief Period”) and (ii) extend the temporary periods for which calculation of certain financial maintenance covenants are annualized after the Extended Covenant Relief Period ends. In addition, the Amendments will modify certain of the existing financial maintenance covenants to require the Company to maintain (a) a net debt to EBITDA ratio of 9.25 to 1.00 as of the end of the final fiscal quarter during the Extended Covenant Relief Period, with step-downs of such ratio in subsequent quarters, and with such ratio returning to 7.25 to 1.00 by no later than the end of the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2023, (b) a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.00 to 1.00 as of the end of the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2022, with such ratio returning to 1.50 to 1.00 for each fiscal quarter thereafter and (c) an unencumbered adjusted net operating income to unsecured interest expense ratio of no less than 1.00 to 1.00 as of the end of the final fiscal quarter during the Extended Covenant Relief Period, with step-ups of such ratio in subsequent quarters, and with such ratio returning to 2.00 to 1.00 by no later than the end of the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2023.
Pursuant to the Amendments, during the Extended Covenant Relief Period, (i) the net cash proceeds from certain incurrences of indebtedness, equity issuances and asset dispositions will, subject to various exceptions, and only in the event that the outstanding principal balance of the Revolver exceeds $600 million, be required to be applied as a mandatory prepayment of the Revolver but not the Term Loan Agreement (which no longer contains any mandatory prepayment provisions), and (ii) the existing negative covenants will continue to impose limitations on the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, make dividends and distributions (except to the extent required to maintain REIT status, the ability of the Company to pay a $0.01 per share per fiscal quarter dividend and certain other agreed exceptions), make prepayments of other indebtedness, and make investments, including acquisitions or mergers, in each case subject to various exceptions, with the following changes: (A) removal of the restrictions on asset dispositions or transfers, (B) addition of the ability to repurchase up to $250 million of shares of the Company as long as the outstanding principal balance of the Revolver is $0 (with the amount of any such repurchases increasing the minimum liquidity covenant, which currently is $200 million, dollar for dollar), (C) increase in the amount of non-recourse debt that the Company and its subsidiaries may incur during the Extended Covenant Relief Period from $350 million to $500 million, (D) addition of the ability to voluntarily prepay certain indebtedness of the
Company and its subsidiaries maturing in 2022 and 2023, (E) removal of the limitation on capital expenditures with respect to hotel properties in the portfolio and (F) increase to the basket for investments and acquisitions from $200 million to $1.0 billion (or $1.5 billion, provided that the minimum liquidity covenant would increase from $200 million to $300 million). The Amendments also extend the period in which the Company and its subsidiaries must maintain the minimum liquidity covenant from December 31, 2022 to March 31, 2023. In addition, during the covenant relief period and until the leverage ratio is no greater than 6.50 to 1.00 for two consecutive quarters and until the financial maintenance covenants have been complied with for two consecutive quarters, the equity interests of certain subsidiaries of PIH that own unencumbered properties will continue to be required to be pledged to secure the obligations owing in respect of the Credit Agreement and the Term Loan Agreement on a pari passu basis.
The Amendments do not provide for any change to the applicable interest rates under the Existing Credit Agreement and the Existing Term Loan Agreement, and the current applicable interest rate margins in effect under the Credit Agreement and the Term Loan Agreement will continue to apply during the Extended Covenant Relief Period.
The Amendments do not increase the Company’s borrowing capacity or amounts outstanding under the Revolver or the 2019 Term Loan. As of February 16, 2022, no borrowings were outstanding under the Revolver and $78 million was outstanding under the 2019 Term Loan.
Certain of the lenders under the Credit Agreement and Term Loan Agreement or their affiliates have provided, and may in the future provide, certain commercial banking, financial advisory, and investment banking services in the ordinary course of business for the Company, its subsidiaries and certain of its affiliates, for which they receive customary fees and commissions.
The foregoing description of the Amendments are qualified in their entirety by reference to the text of such Amendments, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2 and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

(the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its results of operations for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2021 and made available certain supplemental information concerning the portfolio and operation of the Company.

The obligations of any Borrower in respect of any sum due to any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than the specified currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be)

To such end, all the Lenders shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored.

Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness or obligation of the Borrowers.
No Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make a Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other Lender hereunder, and the failure of any Lender to make a Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by it hereunder shall not relieve the obligation of any other Lender to make any Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other Lender.

Unless otherwise expressly set forth herein, any accrued interest on any Loan, any Fees or any other Obligations due hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360) days and the actual number of days elapsed, except that interest on Base Rate Loans shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and the actual number of days elapsed; provided that interest on Loans denominated in Pounds Sterling and Canadian Dollars shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days.
In no event shall the amount of interest due or payable on the Loans or other Obligations exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed by Applicable Law and, if any such payment is paid by any Borrower or any other Loan Party or received by any Lender, then such excess sum shall be credited as a payment of principal, unless the relevant Borrower shall notify the respective Lender in writing that such Borrower elects to have such excess sum returned to it forthwith. It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the Borrowers not pay and the Lenders not receive,
118
directly or indirectly, in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be lawfully paid by the Borrowers under Applicable Law. The parties hereto hereby agree and stipulate that the only charge imposed upon the Borrowers for the use of money in connection with this Agreement is and shall be the interest specifically described in Section 2.6.(a)(i) through (vi) and, with respect to Swingline Loans, in Section 2.5.(c). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto further agree and stipulate that all agency fees, syndication fees, facility fees, closing fees, letter of credit fees, underwriting fees, default charges, late charges, funding or “breakage” charges, increased cost charges, attorneys’ fees and reimbursement for costs and expenses paid by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to third parties or for damages incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, in each case in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, are charges made to compensate the Administrative Agent or any such Lender for underwriting or administrative services and costs or losses performed or incurred, and to be performed or incurred, by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with this Agreement and shall under no circumstances be deemed to be charges for the use of money. All charges other than charges for the use of money shall be fully earned and nonrefundable when due.
The Administrative Agent will account to the Company monthly with a statement of Loans, accrued interest, charges and payments (other than Fees) made pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and quarterly with a statement of Fees paid pursuant to this Agreement, and such account rendered by the Administrative Agent shall be deemed conclusive upon the Company absent manifest error. The failure of the Administrative Agent to deliver such a statement of accounts shall not relieve or discharge any Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law:
(a) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Requisite Lenders, Requisite Revolving Credit Lenders, Requisite Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Lenders, Requisite Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Lenders, Requisite Term Loan Lenders and in Section 13.7.
(b) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, Fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article XI. or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 13.4. shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Bank or any Swingline Lender hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize any Issuing Bank’s Fronting
119
Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with subsection (e) below; fourth, as any Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Company, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize any Issuing Bank’s future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future applicable Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with subsection (e) below; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or the Swingline Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to any Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender under Section 2.4.(j) in respect of Letters of Credit (such amounts “L/C Disbursements”), in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Article VI. were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Disbursements owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in (i) Letter of Credit Liabilities are held by the Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages and (ii) Swingline Loans are held by the Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages (in the case of each of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), determined without giving effect to the following subsection (d)). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this subsection shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
(c) Certain Fees.
(i) During the period from the Term Loan Effective Date to but excluding the Investment Grade Pricing Effective Date, no Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Fee payable under Section 3.5.(b)(i) or 3.5.(b)(ii) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Company shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender). From and after the Investment Grade Pricing Effective Date, each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Fee payable under Sections 3.5.(b)(iii) or 3.5.(b)(iv) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to the sum of (1) the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans of any
120
applicable Tranche funded by it, and (2) its Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the Stated Amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to subsection (e) of this Section 3.9.
(ii) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive the Fee payable under Section 3.5.(c) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to subsection (e) of this Section 3.9.
(iii) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive the Fee payable under Section 3.5.(e) or (f) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Company shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).
(iv) With respect to any Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to the immediately preceding clauses (i) through (iii), the Company shall (x) pay to each Non‑Defaulting Lender that portion of any such Fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Liabilities or Swingline Loans that has been reallocated to such Non‑Defaulting Lender pursuant to the immediately following subsection (d), (y) pay to the applicable Issuing Bank and the applicable Swingline Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such Fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent not reallocated to Non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant to the immediately following subsection (d) and allocable to such Issuing Bank’s or such Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender and not, in the case of such Issuing Bank, Cash Collateralized in accordance with subsection (e) of this Section 3.9., and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such Fee.
(d) Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure.
(i) All or any part of such Defaulting Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Lender’s participation in Swingline Loans shall be reallocated among the Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages (determined without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Article VI. are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Company shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Company shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Exposure of any Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Lender that is a Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Commitment. Subject to Section 13.22., no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Revolving Credit Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.
121
(ii) All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s (that is a Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Lender) participation in Letter of Credit Liabilities shall be reallocated among the Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages (determined without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Article VI. are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Company shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Company shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Exposure of any Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Lender that is a Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Commitment. Subject to Section 13.22., no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Revolving Credit Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.
(e) Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swingline Loans.
(i) If the reallocation described in the immediately preceding subsection (d) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Company shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, (x) first, prepay Swingline Loans in an amount equal to the applicable Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure and (y) second, Cash Collateralize the applicable Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in this subsection.
(ii) At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within one (1) Business Day following the written request of the Administrative Agent or the applicable Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Company shall Cash Collateralize such Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to the immediately preceding subsection (d) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than the aggregate Fronting Exposure of such Issuing Bank with respect to the applicable Letters of Credit issued and outstanding at such time.
(iii) The Company, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grant to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the applicable Issuing Bank, and agree to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for the Defaulting Lenders’ obligation to fund participations in respect of Letter of Credit Liabilities, to be applied pursuant to the immediately following clause (iv). If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the aggregate Fronting Exposure of such Issuing Bank with respect to the applicable
122
Letters of Credit issued and outstanding at such time, the Company will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).
(iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of Letter of Credit Liabilities (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.
(v) Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce the applicable Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this subsection following (x) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Revolving Credit Lender), or (y) the determination by the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that, subject to subsection (b) of this Section 3.9., the Person providing Cash Collateral and such Issuing Bank may (but shall not be obligated to) agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations and provided further that to the extent that such Cash Collateral was provided by the Company, such Cash Collateral shall remain subject to the security interest granted pursuant to the Loan Documents.
(f) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Company, the Administrative Agent, each Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank agree in writing that a Revolving Credit Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Revolving Credit Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans to be held pro rata by the Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Lenders (solely with respect to Letters of Credit) and the Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Lenders (solely with respect to Swingline Loans) in accordance with their respective Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages or Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages, as the case may be (determined, in each case, without giving effect to the preceding subsection (d)), whereupon such Revolving Credit Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to Fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Company while that Revolving Credit Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that, subject to Section 13.22., except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Revolving Credit Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Revolving Credit Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
123
(g) New Swingline Loans/Letters of Credit. So long as any Revolving Credit Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) no Swingline Lender shall be required to fund any Swingline Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swingline Loan and (ii) no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.
(h) Purchase of Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment. During any period that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Company may, by the Company’s giving written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent, such Defaulting Lender and the other Lenders, demand that such Defaulting Lender, and upon such demand such Defaulting Lender shall promptly, so long as such assignment shall not conflict with Applicable Law, assign its Revolving Credit Commitment, its Loans and all of its other interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.6.(b). No party hereto shall have any obligation whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding an Eligible Assignee. In addition, any Lender that is not a Defaulting Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, in its sole discretion, acquire the face amount of all or a portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and Loans via an assignment subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.6.(b). In connection with any such assignment, such Defaulting Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to effect such assignment, including an appropriate Assignment and Assumption and, notwithstanding Section 13.6.(b), shall pay to the Administrative Agent an assignment fee in the amount of $7,500 (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent shall agree). The exercise by the Company of its rights under this Section shall be at the Company’s sole cost and expense and at no cost or expense to the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders.
(a) Issuing Banks. For purposes of this Section, the term “Lender” includes each Issuing Bank and the term “Applicable Law” includes FATCA.
(b) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Borrower or any other Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by such Borrower or other applicable Loan 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 applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(c) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers. The Borrowers and the Guarantors 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.
124
(d) Indemnification by the Borrowers. The Borrowers and the other Guarantors shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within 30 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the relevant Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent and, in the case of a Borrower other than the Company, the Company), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided that the determinations in such statement are made on a reasonable basis and in good faith.
(e) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that a Borrower or a Guarantor has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 13.6. relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any 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 subsection.
(f) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Borrower or any Guarantor to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section, such Borrower or such Guarantor shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(g) Status of Lenders.
(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers 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 Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested
125
by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrowers 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 the immediately following clauses (ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D)) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:
(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Company 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 Company or the Administrative Agent), an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-9 (or any successor form) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;
(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
(I) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (as applicable) 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, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;
(II) an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-8ECI;
(III) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit M-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of
126
Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of any Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to any Borrower described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (as applicable); or
(IV) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit M-2 or Exhibit M-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit M-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Administrative Agent), an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent) 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 applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
(D) 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 Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
127
Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(h) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this subsection (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 subsection, in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this subsection 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 subsection shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
(i) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.
128
(i) subjects the Administrative Agent or any Lender to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;
(ii) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirements (other than Regulation D of the Board or other similar reserve requirement applicable to any other category of liabilities or category of extensions of credit or other assets by reference to which the interest rate on CDOR Loans, AUD Rate Loans, LIBOR Loans or LIBOR Margin Loans is determined to the extent utilized when determining CDOR, the AUD Rate or LIBOR for such Loans) relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by such Lender (or its parent corporation), or any commitment of such Lender (including, without limitation, the Revolving Credit Commitments and the Term Loan Commitments of such Lender hereunder);
(iii) has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of such Lender to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such Regulatory Change (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity); or
(iv) imposes on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender.
129
130
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, on or prior to the determination of LIBOR, CDOR or the AUD Rate for any Interest Period:
131
then the Administrative Agent shall give the Company and each Lender prompt notice thereof and, so long as such condition remains in effect, (i) the Lenders shall be under no obligation to, and shall not, make additional LIBOR Loans, CDOR Loans or AUD Rate Loans, Continue LIBOR Loans, CDOR Loans or AUD Rate Loans or Convert Loans into LIBOR Loans and the relevant Borrower shall, on the last day of each current Interest Period for each outstanding LIBOR Loan, CDOR Loan or AUD Rate Loan, as applicable, either prepay such Loan or (x) in the case of a LIBOR Loan denominated in Dollars, Convert such Loan into a Base Rate Loan, or (y) in the case of a CDOR Loan or an AUD Rate Loan or LIBOR Loan denominated in a Foreign Currency, such Loan shall be automatically redenominated in Dollars and Converted to a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to the Dollar Amount (as of the date of Conversion of such Loan), and (ii) in the case of clause (d) above, no Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Lender that has outstanding a Bid Rate Quote with respect to a LIBOR Margin Loan shall be under and obligation to make such Loan.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, (a) if any Lender shall reasonably determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding) that it is unlawful for such Lender to honor its obligation to make or maintain LIBOR Loans, CDOR Loans or AUD Rate Loans hereunder and/or (b) if any Lender that has an outstanding Bid Rate Quote shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding) that it is unlawful for such Lender to honor its obligation to make or maintain LIBOR Margin Loans hereunder, then such Lender shall promptly notify the relevant Borrower thereof (with a copy of such notice to the Administrative Agent and, in the case of a Borrower other than the Company, the Company) and such Lender’s obligation to make or Continue, or to Convert Loans of any other Type into, LIBOR Loans, CDOR Loans or AUD Rate Loans shall be suspended and/or such Lender’s obligation to make LIBOR Margin Loans shall be suspended, in each case until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain LIBOR Loans, LIBOR Margin Loans, CDOR Loans or AUD Rate Loans, as the case may be (in which case the provisions of Section 5.5. shall be applicable).
The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such amount or amounts as the Administrative Agent shall determine in its reasonable discretion shall be sufficient to compensate such Lender for any loss, cost or expense attributable to:
132
Not in limitation of the foregoing, such compensation shall include, without limitation, (i) in the case of a LIBOR Loan, CDOR Loan or AUD Rate Loan, an amount equal to the then present value of (A) the amount of interest that would have accrued on such Loan for the remainder of the Interest Period at the rate applicable to such Loan, less (B) the amount of interest that would accrue on the same Loan for the same period if LIBOR, CDOR or the AUD Rate, as the case may be, were set on the date on which (x) such LIBOR Loan was repaid, prepaid or Converted or the date on which the relevant Borrower failed to borrow, Convert or Continue such LIBOR Loan, as applicable, or (y) such CDOR Loan or AUD Rate Loan was repaid or prepaid or the date on which the relevant Borrower failed to borrower or continue such CDOR Loan or AUD Rate Loan, as applicable, in each case, calculating present value by using as a discount rate LIBOR, CDOR or the AUD Rate, as the case may be, quoted on such date, and (ii) in the case of a Bid Rate Loan, the sum of such losses and expenses as the Lender or Designated Lender who made such Bid Rate Loan may reasonably incur by reason of such prepayment, including without limitation any losses or expenses incurred in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits from third parties, in any such case, in each case, excluding any loss of anticipated profits and including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. The relevant Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing. Upon the request of such Borrower or the Company, the Administrative Agent shall provide such Borrower (and in the case of a Borrower other than the Company, with a copy to the Company) with a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such compensation and the method for determining the amount thereof. Any such statement shall be conclusive absent manifest error, provided that that the determinations in such statement are made on a reasonable basis and in good faith.
133
If such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, gives notice to such Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent and the Company, as applicable) that the circumstances specified in Section 5.1.(c), 5.2. or 5.3. that gave rise to the Conversion of such Lender’s LIBOR Loans pursuant to this Section no longer exist (which such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when LIBOR Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, then such Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall be automatically Converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding LIBOR Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, (A) if such Lender is a Revolving Credit Lender, all Revolving Credit Loans held by the Revolving Credit Lenders holding LIBOR Loans and by such Revolving Credit Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, Types and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitments and (B) if such Lender is a Term Loan Lender, all Term Loans held by the Term Loan Lenders holding LIBOR Loans and by such Term Loan Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, Types and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Term Loan Commitments.
If (a) a Lender (including in its capacity as an Issuing Bank) requests compensation pursuant to Section 3.10. or 5.1., and the Requisite Lenders are not also doing the same, (b) any
134
Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender or a Non-Extending Lender or (c) the obligation of any Lender to make or Continue LIBOR Loans, CDOR Loans or AUD Rate Loans, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans, shall be suspended pursuant to Section 5.1.(c) or 5.3. but the obligation of the Requisite Lenders shall not have been suspended under such Sections, then the Company may demand that such Lender (the “Affected Lender”), and upon such demand the Affected Lender shall promptly, assign its Revolving Credit Commitments, its Term Loan Commitments, its Loans and all of its other interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.6.(b) for a purchase price equal to (x) the aggregate principal balance of all Loans then owing to the Affected Lender, plus (y) the aggregate amount of payments, if any, previously made by the Affected Lender under Section 2.4.(j) that have not been repaid, plus (z) any accrued but unpaid interest thereon and accrued but unpaid fees owing to the Affected Lender, or any other amount as may be mutually agreed upon by such Affected Lender and Eligible Assignee. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Affected Lender shall reasonably cooperate in effectuating the replacement of such Affected Lender under this Section and the Affected Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to surrender and transfer such interest to the purchaser or assignee thereof, including an appropriate Assignment and Assumption, but at no time shall the Administrative Agent, such Affected Lender or any other Lender be obligated in any way whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding an Eligible Assignee. The exercise by the Company of its rights under this Section shall be at the Company’s sole cost and expense and at no cost or expense to the Administrative Agent, the Affected Lender or any of the other Lenders. The terms of this Section shall not in any way limit any Borrower’s obligation to pay to any Affected Lender compensation owing to such Affected Lender pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, pursuant to Sections 3.10., 5.1. or 5.4.) with respect to any period up to the date of replacement.
Each Lender agrees that it will, in good faith, use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate an alternate Lending Office with respect to any of its Loans affected by the matters or circumstances described in Sections 3.10., 5.1. or 5.3. to reduce the liability of the Borrowers or avoid the results provided thereunder, so long as such designation is not disadvantageous to such Lender as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, except that such Lender shall have no obligation to designate a Lending Office located in the United States of America.
Calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this Article shall be made as though such Lender had actually funded LIBOR Loans, CDOR Loans or AUD Rate Loans through the purchase of deposits in the relevant market bearing interest at the rate applicable to such Loans in an amount equal to the amount of such Loans and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period; provided, however, that each Lender may fund each of its LIBOR Loans, CDOR Loans and AUD Rate Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumption shall be used only for calculation of amounts payable under this Article.
135
(I) Funding of the Initial Term Amount. The obligation of the Term Loan Lenders to effect or permit the occurrence of the funding of the Initial Term Loan Amount hereunder is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the following conditions precedent:
136
137
(II) Revolving Credit Effective Date. The occurrence of the Revolving Credit Effective Date is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the following conditions precedent (and upon the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions, the Revolving Credit Effective Date shall be deemed to have occurred):
In connection with the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may request, and the Company shall deliver, a certificate signed by a Responsible Officer of the Company that the foregoing conditions in clauses (a) through (e) have been satisfied.
The obligations of (i) the Lenders to make any Loans and (ii) the Issuing Banks to issue, extend or increase any Letters of Credit are each subject to the further conditions precedent that:
138
Each Credit Event shall constitute a certification by the Borrowers to the effect set forth in the preceding sentence (both as of the date of the giving of notice relating to such Credit Event and, unless the Company or the relevant Borrower otherwise notifies the Administrative Agent prior to the date of such Credit Event, as of the date of the occurrence of such Credit Event). In addition,
139
the Borrowers shall be deemed to have represented to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders at the time such Loan is made or such Letter of Credit is issued, extended or increased that all conditions to the making of such Loan or issuing, extending or increasing of such Letter of Credit contained in Sections 6.1. and 6.2. (in the case of the borrowing of the Initial Term Loan Amount) or Section 6.2. (in all subsequent cases) have been satisfied.
The making of its initial Loan by a Lender shall constitute a confirmation by such Lender to the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders that insofar as such Lender is concerned the Borrowers have satisfied the conditions precedent for initial Loans set forth in Sections 6.1. and 6.2.
The designation of a Subsidiary Borrower pursuant to Section 2.21. is subject to the condition precedent that the Company or such proposed Subsidiary Borrower shall have furnished or caused to be furnished to the Administrative Agent:
140
In order to induce the Administrative Agent and each Lender to enter into this Agreement and to make Loans and, in the case of each Issuing Bank, to issue Letters of Credit, each Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender as follows:

146
147
(a) All written information, reports and data (other than financial projections, other forward looking statements and information of a general economic or industry nature) furnished to the Administrative Agent or any Lender by, on behalf of, or at the direction of, any Loan Party or any other Subsidiary were, at the time the same were so furnished, complete and correct in all material respects, or, in the case of financial statements, presented fairly in all material respects in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods involved in each case, the financial position of the Persons involved as at the date thereof and the results of operations for such periods (subject, as to interim statements, to changes resulting from normal year-end audit adjustments and the inclusion in the final audited statements of footnotes that were not contained in the interim statements). All financial projections and other forward looking statements prepared by or on behalf of any Loan Party or any other Subsidiary that have been made available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender were prepared in good faith based on assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time made, but with it being understood
148
that such projections and statements are not a guarantee of future performance, that such future performance may vary materially from such projections and that no Loan Party makes any representation that such projections will in fact be realized. No document furnished or written statement made to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the negotiation, preparation or execution of, or pursuant to, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents contains or will contain any untrue statement of a fact material to the creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any other Subsidiary or omits or will omit, when taken together with all other information furnished, to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein in light of the circumstances under which they are or will be made, not materially misleading.
(b) As of the First Amendment Effective Date, the information included in each Beneficial Ownership Certification is true and correct in all respects.
(i) None of (i) the Parent, the Company, any Subsidiary or, to the knowledge of the Parent, the Company or such Subsidiary, any of their respective directors, officers, employees or affiliates, or (ii) to the knowledge of any Responsible Officer, any agent or representative of the Parent, the Company or any Subsidiary that will act in any capacity in connection with or benefit from any Facility, (A) is a Sanctioned Person or currently the subject or target of any Sanctions, (B) except to the extent in compliance with all applicable Sanctions, has its assets located in a Sanctioned Country, (C) except to the extent in compliance with all applicable Sanctions, directly or indirectly derives revenues from investments in, or transactions with, Sanctioned Persons or Sanctioned Countries or (D) has taken any action, directly or indirectly, that would result in a violation by such Persons of any Anti-Corruption Laws. Each of the Parent, the Company and their Subsidiaries has implemented and maintains in effect policies and procedures (including policies and procedures implemented and maintained by the managers of Hotel Properties) reasonably designed to ensure compliance by the Parent, the Company and their Subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and Affiliates with the Anti-Corruption Laws. Each of the Parent, the Company and their Subsidiaries, and to the knowledge of any Responsible Officer, each director, officer, employee, agent and Affiliate of the Parent, the Company and each such Subsidiary, is in compliance with the Anti-Corruption Laws in all material respects.

With respect to any Subsidiary that may from time to time become a Subsidiary Borrower hereunder, each of the Company and such Subsidiary Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that:
150
All representations and warranties made under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to be made at and as of the Agreement Date, the Term Loan Effective Date, the Revolving Credit Effective Date, the date on which any increase of the Revolving Credit Commitments or any Additional Term Loan Advance is effectuated pursuant to Section 2.17. and at and as of the date of the occurrence of each Credit Event, except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects (unless such representation and warranty is qualified by materiality, in which event such representation and warranty shall have been true and correct in all respects) on and as of such earlier date) and except for changes in factual circumstances permitted under the Loan Documents. All such representations and warranties shall survive the effectiveness of this Agreement, the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of the Loans and the issuance of the Letters of Credit.
For so long as this Agreement is in effect, unless the Requisite Lenders (or, if required pursuant to Section 13.7., all of the Lenders) shall otherwise consent in the manner provided for in Section 13.7., the Company shall, and as applicable, shall cause the other Loan Parties to, (and, with respect to Sections 8.8.(b), 8.12., 8.13., 8.16., 8.17., 8.18.(b) and 13.24., the Parent shall) comply with the following covenants:

The Company shall, and shall cause each other Loan Party and each other Subsidiary to, keep proper books of record and account in which full, true and correct entries in conformity with GAAP shall be made of all dealings and transactions in relation to its business and activities. Subject to limitations, if any, imposed under regulatory or confidentiality requirements and agreements to which the Parent or one of its Subsidiaries is subject or could otherwise reasonably be expected to contravene attorney–client privilege or constitute attorney work product, the Company shall, and shall cause each other Loan Party and each other Subsidiary to, permit representatives of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to visit and inspect any of their respective properties, to examine and make abstracts from any of their respective books and records and to discuss their respective affairs, finances and accounts with their respective officers, employees and independent public accountants (in the Company’s presence if an Event of Default does not then exist), all at such reasonable times during business hours and as often as may reasonably be requested and, so long as no Event of Default exists, with reasonable prior notice. The Company shall be obligated to reimburse (a) the Administrative Agent for its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of its rights under this Section once per calendar year and (b) the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for their reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of their rights under this Section only if such exercise occurs while a Default or Event of Default exists.

156
157
158
159

If the respective action is taken in accordance with this Section 8.19. on or prior to the applicable required date, then, to the extent any representation and warranty would not be true or any provision of any covenant would be breached solely because the actions required by this Section 8.19. are not taken on or prior to the Agreement Date and/or prior to such required date, except to the extent set forth on Schedule 8.19., the respective representation and warranty shall be deemed to be true and correct, and the respective covenant shall be deemed complied with.
For so long as this Agreement is in effect, unless the Requisite Lenders (or, if required pursuant to Section 13.7., all of the Lenders) shall otherwise consent in the manner provided for
165
in Section 13.7., the Company shall, or shall cause the Parent or any other Loan Party, as applicable, to, furnish to the Administrative Agent for distribution to each of the Lenders:
For each of the first, second and third fiscal quarters of the Parent, within forty-five (45) days after the closing of each such quarter, the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Parent and its Subsidiaries as at the end of such period and the related unaudited consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows of the Parent and its Subsidiaries for such period, setting forth in each case in comparative form the figures as of the end of and for the corresponding periods of the previous fiscal year, all of which shall be certified by the chief financial officer or chief executive officer of the Parent, in his or her opinion, to present fairly in all material respects, in accordance with GAAP, the consolidated financial position of the Parent and its Subsidiaries as at the date thereof and the results of operations for such period (subject to normal year-end audit adjustments and the inclusion in the final year-end statements of footnotes that were not contained in the quarterly financial statements).
For each fiscal year of the Parent, within ninety (90) days after the end of each fiscal year of the Parent, commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016, the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Parent and its Subsidiaries as at the end of such fiscal year and the related audited consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows of the Parent and its Subsidiaries for such fiscal year, setting forth in comparative form the figures as at the end of and for the previous fiscal year, all of which shall be certified by (a) the chief financial officer or chief executive officer of the Parent, in his or her opinion, to present fairly in all material respects, in accordance with GAAP, the financial position of the Parent and its Subsidiaries as at the date thereof and the result of operations for such period and (b) Ernst & Young LLP or any other independent certified public accountants of recognized national standing reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, whose certificate shall be unqualified.
166
167
168
169
170
The Company shall cooperate with the Administrative Agent in connection with the publication of certain materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of the Company. Documents required to be delivered pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be delivered by or on behalf of the Company to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (collectively, “Information Materials”) pursuant to this Article and, if requested by the Administrative Agent, the Company shall designate Information Materials (a) that are either available to the public or not material with respect to the Parent and its Subsidiaries or any of their respective securities for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws, as “Public Information” and (b) that are not Public Information as “Private Information”. All Information Materials that are neither identified as “Public Information” nor included in public filings made by the Parent, the Company or any of their Subsidiaries with the SEC shall be deemed to be private and confidential. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Lender who does not wish to receive Private Information (any such Lender, a “Public Lender”) agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of any website provided pursuant to Section 9.5. in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and Applicable Law, including United States federal and state securities laws, to make reference to Information Materials that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of such website provided pursuant to Section 9.5. and that may contain material non-public information with respect to the Parent, the Company or their securities for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws.
The Patriot Act and federal regulations issued with respect thereto require all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record certain information that identifies individuals or business entities which open an “account” with such financial institution. Consequently, a Lender (for itself and/or as agent for all Lenders hereunder) may from time to time request, and the Company shall, and shall cause the other Loan Parties, to provide, promptly upon any such request, to such Lender, such Loan Party’s name, address, tax identification number and/or such other identification information as shall be necessary for such Lender to comply with federal law. An “account” for this purpose may include, without limitation, a deposit account, cash management service, a transaction or asset account, a credit account, a loan or other extension of credit, and/or other financial services product.
For so long as this Agreement is in effect, unless the Requisite Lenders (or, if required pursuant to Section 13.7., all of the Lenders) shall otherwise consent in the manner provided for in Section 13.7., the Company shall comply with the following covenants:
171
172
173

175

186
187
188
189
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.1., in the event of a Default or Event of Default arising as a result of the inclusion of any Hotel Property as an Eligible Property at any particular time of reference, if such Default or Event of Default is capable of being cured solely by the exclusion of such Hotel Property as an Eligible Property, the Company shall be permitted a period not to exceed fifteen (15) days from the earlier of (x) the date upon which a Responsible Officer of the Company obtains knowledge of such Default or Event of Default (as applicable) or (y) the date upon which the Company has received written notice of such Default or Event of Default from the Administrative Agent, to exclude such Hotel Property as an Eligible Property by delivering to the Administrative Agent each of the following: (1) written notice thereof and (2) a Compliance Certificate, prepared for each fiscal period in which such Hotel Property was included as an Eligible Property but was not in fact an Eligible Property, evidencing compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Section 10.1. for such period, excluding such Hotel Property as an Eligible Property, as applicable.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default the following provisions shall apply:
190

To the extent that any Loan Party makes a payment or payments to a Lender Party, or a Lender Party enforces its security interest or exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any
191
other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such recovery, the Guaranteed Obligations or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

Seventh, the balance, if any, after all of the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full in cash, to the Company or as otherwise required by Applicable Law.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Guaranteed Obligations arising under Specified Derivatives Contracts and Specified Cash Management Agreements shall be excluded from the application described above if the Administrative Agent has not received written notice thereof, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Specified Derivatives Provider or Specified Cash Management Bank, as the case may be. Each Specified Derivatives Provider or Specified Cash Management Bank not a party to this Agreement that has given the notice contemplated by the preceding sentence shall, by such notice, be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of Article XII. for itself and its Affiliates as if a “Lender” party hereto.
193
194
If any Borrower or any other Loan Party shall fail to perform any covenant, duty or agreement contained in any of the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent may, after notice to such Borrower, and in the case of a Borrower other than the Company, with a copy to the Company, perform or attempt to perform such covenant, duty or agreement on behalf of such Borrower or such other Loan Party after the expiration of any cure or grace periods set forth herein. In such event, such Borrower shall, at the request of the Administrative Agent, promptly pay any amount reasonably expended by the Administrative Agent in such performance or attempted performance to the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon at the applicable Post-Default Rate from the date of such expenditure until paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability or responsibility whatsoever for the performance of any obligation of the Borrowers under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
195
Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as contractual representative on such Lender’s behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Not in limitation of the foregoing, each Lender authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to enter into the Loan Documents for the benefit of the Lenders. Each Lender hereby agrees that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Requisite Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Requisite Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders. Nothing herein shall be construed to deem the Administrative Agent a trustee or fiduciary for any Lender or to impose on the Administrative Agent duties or obligations other than those expressly provided for herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the
196
terms “Agent”, “Administrative Agent”, “agent” and similar terms in the Loan Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead, use of such terms is merely a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. The Administrative Agent shall deliver to each Lender, promptly upon receipt thereof by the Administrative Agent, copies of each of the financial statements, certificates, notices and other documents delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Article IX. that the Borrowers are not otherwise required to deliver directly to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will furnish to any Lender, upon the request of such Lender, a copy (or, where appropriate, an original) of any document, instrument, agreement, certificate or notice furnished to the Administrative Agent by any Borrower, any Loan Party or any other Affiliate of the Company, pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document not already delivered to such Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any such other Loan Document. As to any matters not expressly provided for by the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of any of the Obligations), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders if explicitly required under any other provision of this Agreement), and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and all holders of any of the Obligations; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or Applicable Law. Not in limitation of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may exercise any right or remedy it or the Lenders may have under any Loan Document upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default unless the Requisite Lenders have directed the Administrative Agent otherwise. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Requisite Lenders, or where applicable, all the Lenders. The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to release any Guarantor from the Guaranty (i) in the case of a Subsidiary Guarantor, upon satisfaction of the conditions to release set forth in Section 8.14. or Section 8.15.; (ii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Requisite Lenders or all of the Lenders hereunder, as the required under the circumstances; or (iii) on the Term Loan Maturity Date. In connection with any such release of a Guarantor pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by each Lender to) execute and deliver to any Loan Party, at such Loan Party’s expense, all documents that such Loan Party shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release (any execution and delivery of such documents being without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent).
Wells Fargo shall have the same rights and powers as a Lender, a Specified Derivatives Provider or a Specified Cash Management Bank, as the case may be, under this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Specified Derivatives Contract or any Specified Cash Management Agreement, as the case may be, as any other Lender, Specified Derivatives Provider or any Specified Cash Management Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not the
197
Administrative Agent; and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include Wells Fargo in each case in its individual capacity. Wells Fargo and its Affiliates may each accept deposits from, maintain deposits or credit balances for, invest in, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, serve as financial advisor to, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrowers, any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate thereof as if it were any other bank and without any duty to account therefor to the Issuing Banks, the other Lenders, any Specified Derivatives Providers or any Specified Cash Management Banks. Further, the Administrative Agent and any Affiliate may accept fees and other consideration from the Loan Parties for services in connection with this Agreement, any Specified Derivatives Contract or any Specified Cash Management Agreement, or otherwise without having to account for the same to the Issuing Banks, the other Lenders, any Specified Derivatives Providers or any Specified Cash Management Banks. The Issuing Banks and the Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Wells Fargo or its Affiliates may receive information regarding the Company, other Loan Parties, other Subsidiaries and other Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Person) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them.
All communications from the Administrative Agent to any Lender requesting such Lender’s determination, consent, approval or disapproval (a) shall be given in the form of a written notice to such Lender, (b) shall be accompanied by a description of the matter or issue as to which such determination, approval, consent or disapproval is requested, or shall advise such Lender where information, if any, regarding such matter or issue may be inspected, or shall otherwise describe the matter or issue to be resolved and (c) shall include, if reasonably requested by such Lender and to the extent not previously provided to such Lender, written materials and a summary of all oral information provided to the Administrative Agent by the Borrowers in respect of the matter or issue to be resolved.
The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or a Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing with reasonable specificity such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” If any Lender (excluding the Lender which is also serving as the Administrative Agent) becomes aware of any Default or Event of Default, it shall promptly send to the Administrative Agent such a “notice of default”; provided, a Lender’s failure to provide such a “notice of default” to the Administrative Agent shall not result in any liability of such Lender to any other party to any of the Loan Documents. Further, if the Administrative Agent receives such a “notice of default,” the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except
198
for its or their own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein or therein as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (including its own counsel or counsel for the Borrowers or any other Loan Party), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties: (a) makes any warranty or representation to any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any other Person or shall be responsible to any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any other Person for any statement, warranty or representation made or deemed made by any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (b) shall have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent under this Agreement or any Loan Document on the part of any Borrower or other Persons or inspect the property, books or records of any Borrower or any other Person; (c) shall be responsible to any Lender or any Issuing Bank for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto or any collateral covered thereby or the perfection or priority of any Lien in favor of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks in any such collateral; (d) shall have any liability in respect of any recitals, statements, certifications, representations or warranties contained in any of the Loan Documents or any other document, instrument, agreement, certificate or statement delivered in connection therewith; and (e) shall incur any liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telephone or electronic mail) believed by it to be genuine and signed, sent or given by the proper party or parties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under the Loan Documents by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in the selection of such agent or attorney-in-fact as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment.
To the extent that the Borrowers for any reason fail to indefeasibly pay any amount required under Section 13.2. or Section 13.10. to be paid by them to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s respective Pro Rata Share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought based on each Lender’s share of the Total Credit Exposure at such time, or if the Total Credit Exposure has been reduced to zero, then based on such Lender’s share of the Total Credit Exposure immediately prior to such reduction) of such unpaid amount (including any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such Lender); provided, that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in connection with such capacity. The agreements
199
in this Section 12.6. shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and the termination of this Agreement. If the Borrowers shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for any such unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment following payment by any Lender to the Administrative Agent in respect of such unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment pursuant to this Section 12.6., the Administrative Agent shall share such reimbursement on a ratable basis with each Lender making any such payment.
Each of the Lenders and each Issuing Bank expressly acknowledges and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties has made any representations or warranties to such Issuing Bank or such Lender and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrowers, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary or Affiliate, shall be deemed to constitute any such representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Issuing Bank or any Lender. Each of the Lenders and each Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has made its own credit and legal analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the transaction contemplated hereby, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Administrative Agent, or any of their respective Related Parties, and based on the financial statements of the Company, the other Loan Parties, the other Subsidiaries and other Affiliates, and inquiries of such Persons, its independent due diligence of the business and affairs of the Company, the other Loan Parties, the other Subsidiaries and other Persons, its review of the Loan Documents, the legal opinions required to be delivered to it hereunder, the advice of its own counsel and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate. Each of the Lenders and each Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Administrative Agent or any of their respective Related Parties, and based on such review, advice, documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under the Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by the Borrowers or any other Loan Party of the Loan Documents or any other document referred to or provided for therein or to inspect the properties or books of, or make any other investigation of, the Borrowers, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Lender or any Issuing Bank with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrowers, any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate thereof which may come into possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties. Each of the Lenders and each Issuing Bank acknowledges that the Administrative Agent’s legal counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is only acting as counsel to the Administrative Agent and is not acting as counsel to any Lender or any Issuing Bank.
200
The Administrative Agent may resign at any time as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Company. The Administrative Agent may be removed as Administrative Agent by all of the Lenders (other than the Lender then acting as Administrative Agent) and, provided no Default or Event of Default exists, the Company, upon 30 days’ prior written notice if the Administrative Agent (i) is found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment to have committed gross negligence or willful misconduct in the course of performing its duties hereunder or (ii) has become or is insolvent or has become the subject of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, or has had a receiver, conservator, trustee or custodian appointed for it, or has taken any action in furtherance of, or indicating its consent to, approval of or acquiescence in any such proceeding or appointment. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent which appointment shall, provided no Default or Event of Default exists, be subject to the Company’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, and shall have accepted such appointment, within thirty (30) days after the current Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the current Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a Lender, if any Lender shall be willing to serve, and otherwise shall be an Eligible Assignee; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Company and the Lenders that no Lender has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made to each Lender and each Issuing Bank directly, until such time as a successor Administrative Agent has been appointed as provided for above in this Section; provided, further that such Lenders and such Issuing Bank so acting directly shall be and be deemed to be protected by all indemnities and other provisions herein for the benefit and protection of the Administrative Agent as if each such Lender or Issuing Bank were itself the Administrative Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the current Administrative Agent, and the current Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. Any resignation by an Administrative Agent shall also constitute the resignation as an Issuing Bank and as a Swingline Lender by the Lender then acting as Administrative Agent (the “Resigning Lender”), which resignation shall be effective upon the agreement of the Lender that is the successor Administrative Agent (or another Lender approved by the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) to assume the Swingline Commitment and the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank hereunder. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder and the assumption of the Swingline Commitment and the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank hereunder by the Lender that is the successor Administrative Agent (or another Lender approved by the Company as provided above) (i) the Resigning Lender shall be discharged from all duties and obligations of an Issuing Bank and a Swingline Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (ii) the successor applicable Issuing Bank shall issue letters of credit in substitution for all Letters of Credit issued by the Resigning Lender as an Issuing Bank outstanding at the time
201
of such succession (which letters of credit issued in substitutions shall be deemed to be Letters of Credit issued hereunder) or make other arrangements satisfactory to the Resigning Lender to effectively assume the obligations of the Resigning Lender with respect to such Letters of Credit. After any Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article XII. shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent may assign its rights and duties under the Loan Documents to any of its Affiliates by giving the Company and each Lender prior written notice.
The Syndication Agents, Documentation Agents and Senior Managing Agents, in such respective capacities, assume no responsibility or obligation hereunder, including, without limitation, for servicing, enforcement or collection of any of the Loans, nor any duties as an agent hereunder for the Lenders. The titles given to the Syndication Agents, the Documentation Agents and the Senior Managing Agents are solely honorific and imply no fiduciary responsibility on the part of the Syndication Agents, the Documentation Agents or the Senior Managing Agents to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Borrower or any other Loan Party and the use of such titles does not impose on the Syndication Agents, the Documentation Agents or the Senior Managing Agents any duties or obligations greater than those of any other Lender or entitle the Syndication Agents, the Documentation Agents or the Senior Managing Agents to any rights other than those to which any other Lender is entitled.
No Specified Derivatives Provider or Specified Cash Management Bank that obtains the benefits of Section 11.4. by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Loan Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of any Loan Document other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article XII. to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Specified Derivatives Contracts and Specified Cash Management Agreements unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Specified Derivatives Contracts and Specified Cash Management Agreements, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Specified Derivatives Provider or Specified Cash Management Bank, as the case may be.

If to any other Lender:
To such Lender’s address or telecopy number as set forth in its Administrative Questionnaire or as to each party at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other parties delivered in compliance with this Section; provided, a Lender or an Issuing Bank shall only be required to give notice of any such other address to the Administrative Agent and the Company. All such notices and other communications shall be effective (i) if mailed, upon the first to occur of receipt or the expiration of three (3) days after the deposit in the United States Postal Service mail, postage prepaid and addressed to the address of the Company or the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and Lenders at the addresses specified; (ii) if hand delivered or sent by overnight courier, when delivered; (iii) if by electronic mail, as described in the immediately following paragraph, or (iv) if delivered in accordance with Section 9.5. to the extent applicable; provided, however, that, in the case of the immediately
207
preceding clauses (i) and (ii) , non-receipt of any communication as of the result of any change of address of which the sending party was not notified or as the result of a refusal to accept delivery shall be deemed receipt of such communication. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, all notices or communications to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender under Article II. shall be effective only when actually received. None of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender shall incur any liability to any Loan Party (nor shall the Administrative Agent incur any liability to the Issuing Banks or the Lenders) for acting upon any telephonic notice referred to in this Agreement which the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender, as the case may be, believes in good faith to have been given by a Person authorized to deliver such notice or for otherwise acting in good faith hereunder. Failure of a Person designated to receive a copy of a notice to receive such copy shall not affect the validity of notice properly given to another Person.
Notices and other communications to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereunder may be delivered or furnished by using Electronic Systems pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices pursuant to Article II unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender. The Administrative Agent or the Company may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient, at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i), of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor; provided that, for both clauses (i) and (ii) above, if such notice, email or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient.
208
The Company agrees (a) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers for all of its and their reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, any of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, in respect of any notice given by the Company under Section 2.17.(a), whether or not the requested increase is actually effected), and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, including the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel to the Administrative Agent and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent in connection with the use of IntraLinks, SyndTrak or other similar information transmission systems in connection with the Loan Documents and of the Administrative Agent in connection with the review of Properties for inclusion in the calculation of Unencumbered Asset Value, including the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel to the Administrative Agent relating to all such activities, (b) without duplication of the provisions of Section 3.5.(c), to pay to each Issuing Bank all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by such Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder, (c) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders for all their costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under the Loan Documents and the Fee Letters, including the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, disbursements and other charges of their respective counsel and (d) to the extent not already covered by any of the preceding subsections, to pay or reimburse the fees and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, any Issuing Bank and any Lender incurred in connection with the representation of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender in any matter relating to or arising out of any bankruptcy or other proceeding of the type described in Sections 11.1.(e) or 11.1.(f), including, without limitation, (i) any motion for relief from any stay or similar order, (ii) the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of any document relating to the Obligations and (iii) the negotiation and
209
preparation of any debtor in possession financing or any plan of reorganization of any Borrower or any other Loan Party, whether proposed by such Borrower, such Loan Party, the Lenders or any other Person, and whether such fees and expenses are incurred prior to, during or after the commencement of such proceeding or the confirmation or conclusion of any such proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligation to reimburse the Arrangers, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks for fees and expenses of counsel in connection with the matters described in clauses (a), (c) and (d) above shall be limited to the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, disbursements and other charges of one counsel to the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders and, if reasonably necessary, a single local counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders in each relevant jurisdiction and with respect to each relevant specialty, and in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, one additional counsel in each relevant jurisdiction to the affected Lender Party similarly situated. All reimbursement obligations pursuant to this Section 13.2. shall be due and payable not later than fifteen (15) Business Days following receipt of a reasonably detailed invoice therefor.
The Company shall pay any and all stamp, excise, intangible, registration and similar taxes or governmental charges and shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay in the payment or omission to pay any such taxes or charges, which may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution, delivery, recording, performance or enforcement of this Agreement, the Notes and any of the other Loan Documents, the amendment, supplement, modification or waiver of or consent under this Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents or the perfection of any rights or Liens under this Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents.
Subject to Section 3.3. and in addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under Applicable Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, the Administrative Agent, each Lender, each Issuing Bank and each Participant is hereby authorized by the Company, at any time or from time to time while an Event of Default exists, without prior notice to the Parent, any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, but in the case of a Lender, an Issuing Bank or a Participant subject to receipt of the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Requisite Lenders exercised in their sole discretion, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank, such Lender, such Participant or any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender, to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor against and on account of any of the Obligations, irrespective of whether or not any or all of the Loans and all other Obligations have been declared to be, or have otherwise become, due and payable as permitted by Section 11.2., and although such Obligations shall be contingent or unmatured. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, if any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.9. and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting
210
Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. Promptly following any such set-off, the Administrative Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Company thereof and of the application of such set-off, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not invalidate such set-off or the application thereof.
211
(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that none of the Parent, the Company, any Borrower or any other Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of the immediately following subsection (b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section 13.6. or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection (e) of this Section 13.6. (and, subject to the last sentence of the immediately following subsection (b), any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section 13.6. and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. The parties hereby agree that BofA Securities in its capacity as an Arranger and joint bookrunner may, without notice to the Borrowers, assign its rights and obligations in such capacities under this Agreement to any other registered broker–dealer wholly-owned by Bank of America Corporation to which all or substantially all of Bank of America Corporation’s or any of its subsidiaries’ investment banking, commercial lending services or related businesses may be transferred following the date of this Agreement.
212
(b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Credit Commitment, its Term Loan Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:
(i) Minimum Amounts.
(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of an assigning Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and/or the Revolving Credit Loans at the time owing to it, or in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of an assigning Term Loan Lender’s Term Loan Commitment and/or the Term Loans at the time owing to it, or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and
(B) in any case not described in the immediately preceding subsection (A), the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment (which for this purpose includes Revolving Credit Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Revolving Credit Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, and the aggregate amount of the Term Loan Commitment (which for this purpose includes Term Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Term Loan Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Term Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, (in each case, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $10,000,000 in the case of any assignment of a Revolving Credit Commitment and $10,000,000 in the case of any assignment in respect of a Term Loan Commitment, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default pursuant to Section 11.1.(a), 11.1.(e) or 11.1.(f) shall exist, and subject to clause (iii)(A)(z) below, the Company otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that if, after giving effect to such assignment, the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment held by such assigning Lender or the outstanding principal balance of the Loans of such assigning Lender, as applicable, would be less than $10,000,000 in the case of a Revolving Credit Commitment or Revolving Credit Loans or $10,000,000 in the case of a Term Loan Commitment or Term Loans, then such assigning Lender shall assign the entire amount of its Revolving Credit Commitment, its Term Loan Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it.
(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Type of Loan or Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not (a) prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and
213
obligations among separate Facilities on a non-rata basis or (b) apply to rights in respect of a Bid Rate Loan.
(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by clause (i)(B) of this subsection (b) and, in addition:
(A) the consent of the Company (on behalf of itself and the other Borrowers) (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default pursuant to Section 11.1.(a), 11.1.(e) or 11.1.(f) shall exist at the time of such assignment, (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or (z) any Term Loan Lender party hereto on the Agreement Date assigns its Term Loans to any assignee prior to the sixtieth (60th) calendar day following the Revolving Credit Effective Date; provided that each Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof;
(B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of (x) a Revolving Credit Commitment or any unfunded Term Loan Commitments if such assignment is to a Person that is not already a Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment or a Term Loan Commitment, an Affiliate of such a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such a Lender or (y) a Term Loan to a Person who is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and
(C) the consent of each Issuing Bank and each Swingline Lender (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment in respect of a Revolving Credit Commitment.
(iv) Assignment and Acceptance; Notes. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $4,500 (or $7,500 (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may agree, such lesser amount not to be less than $4,500 in any event) in the event that such transferor Lender is a Defaulting Lender) for each assignment (which fee the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive), and the assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. If requested by the transferor Lender or the assignee, upon the consummation of any assignment, the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent, the Company and the relevant Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that (i) to the extent requested by the assignee or transferor Lender, new Notes are issued to the assignee and such transferor Lender, as appropriate and (ii) any Notes held by the transferor Lender are promptly returned to the relevant Borrower for cancellation (and, to the extent not so returned, such Borrower shall be entitled to receive a customary indemnity agreement of the type described in Section 2.12.(c)(ii)(A) from such transferor Lender).
214
(v) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to (A) the Company or any of the Company’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries or (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or to any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B).
(vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural person or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person.
(vii) Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Company, the relevant Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank, each Swingline Lender and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans in accordance with its Multicurrency Tranche Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage (with respect to Letters of Credit) and its Dollar Tranche Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage (with respect to Swingline Loans). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under Applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the immediately following subsection (c), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 5.4., 13.2. and 13.10. and the other provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as provided in Section 13.11. with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph
215
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 subsection (d) of this Section 13.6.
(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at the Principal Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than any Person described in Sections 13.6.(b)(v) or (vi)) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Credit Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in Section 13.4. or as otherwise expressly stated herein, no Participant shall have any rights or benefits under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to (x) extend the date on which any scheduled payment of principal on the Loans or portions thereof owing to such Lender is to be made, (y) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon (other than a waiver of default interest and changes in calculation of the Leverage Ratio that may indirectly affect pricing) or (z) release all or substantially all of the Collateral (except as contemplated by Sections 8.14. or 8.15.) or all or substantially all of the Guarantors from their obligations under the Guaranty (except as contemplated by Sections 8.14. or 8.15.), in each case, as applicable to that portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations that are subject to the participation. Each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.10., 5.1., 5.4. (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 3.10.(g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.10.(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 3.9.(h) or 5.6. as if it were an assignee under subsection (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.10. or 5.1., with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Regulatory Change that occurs after the Participant
216
acquired the applicable participations. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the relevant Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with such Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 3.9.(h) or 5.6. with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 13.4. as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 3.3. as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(e) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
(f) No Registration. Each Lender agrees that, without the prior written consent of each Borrower and the Administrative Agent, it will not make any assignment hereunder in any manner or under any circumstances that would require registration or qualification of, or filings in respect of, any Loan or Note under the Securities Act or any other securities laws of the United States of America or of any other jurisdiction.
(g) Designated Lenders. Any Lender (each, a “Designating Lender”) may at any time after the Investment Grade Pricing Effective Date, designate one Designated Lender to fund Bid Rate Loans on behalf of such Designating Lender subject to the terms of this subsection, and the provisions in subsections (b) and (d) of this Section 13.6. shall not apply to such designation. No Lender may designate more than one Designated Lender. The parties to each such designation shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance a Designation Agreement. Upon such receipt of an appropriately completed Designation Agreement executed by a Designating Lender and a designee representing that it is a Designated Lender, the Administrative Agent will accept such Designation Agreement and give prompt notice thereof to the Company, whereupon (i) the Company shall execute and deliver to the Designating Lender, to the extent requested by such Designated Lender, a Bid Rate Note payable to the order of the Designated Lender, (ii) from and after the effective date specified in the Designation Agreement, the Designated Lender shall become a party to this Agreement with a right to make Bid Rate Loans on behalf of its Designating Lender pursuant to Section 2.3. after the Company has accepted a Bid Rate Loan (or portion thereof) of the Designating Lender, and (iii) the Designated Lender shall not

The relationship between the Borrowers, on the one hand, and the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, on the other hand, shall be solely that of borrower and lender. The Administrative Agent, each Lender and their Affiliates may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Loan Parties, their stockholders and partners and/or their Affiliates. No Lender Party shall have any fiduciary responsibilities to any Borrower or any other Loan Party and no provision in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, and no course of dealing between or among any of the parties hereto, shall be deemed to create any fiduciary duty owing by the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party to any Lender, any Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party. No Lender Party undertakes any responsibility to any Borrower to review or inform such Borrower of any matter in connection with any phase of such Borrower’s business or operations.
Except as otherwise provided by Applicable Law, each of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender agrees that it shall not disclose and shall treat confidentially all Information (as defined below) furnished by the Borrowers or the Parent or on their behalf but in any event may make disclosure: (a) to any of their respective Affiliates and their other Related Parties solely in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby who are informed of the confidential nature of such information and are or have been advised of their obligation to keep information of this type confidential in accordance with the terms of this Section (and each of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender shall be responsible for its respective Affiliates’ and Related Parties’ compliance with this Section); (b) as reasonably requested by any bona fide Eligible Assignee, Participant or other permitted transferee or any of their Affiliates in connection with the contemplated transfer of any Revolving Credit Commitment, Term Loan Commitment, Loan or participations therein as permitted hereunder (provided they shall agree to keep such information confidential in accordance with the terms of this Section); (c) to any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivatives transaction relating to any Borrower or any of their Affiliates and its obligations (provided they shall agree to keep such information confidential in accordance with the terms of this Section); (d) as required or requested by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof, pursuant to the order of any court or administrative agency pursuant to legal process or in connection with any pending legal or administrative proceedings or as otherwise required by Applicable Law or compulsory legal process (in which case, such Person shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law and reasonably practicable, inform the Company promptly thereof except with respect to any audit or examination conducted by bank accountants or any Governmental Authority exercising routine
223
examination, oversight or regulatory review); (e) to the Administrative Agent’s, such Issuing Bank’s or such Lender’s independent auditors and other professional advisors and other experts or agents or representatives solely in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby who are informed of the confidential nature of such information and are or have been advised of their obligation to keep information of this type confidential in accordance with the terms of this Section (and each of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender shall be responsible for its respective Affiliates’ compliance with this Section); (f) if an Event of Default exists, to any other Person, in connection with the exercise by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or the Lenders (or Specified Derivatives Provider or Specified Cash Management Bank) of rights hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents (or under any Specified Derivatives Contract or Specified Cash Management Agreement) or any action or proceeding relating to any Loan Documents (or any Specified Derivatives Contract or Specified Cash Management Agreement) or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder; (g) to the extent such information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of improper disclosure or a breach of this Section by such Person or any of its Affiliates or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrowers, the Parent or any of their Affiliates that is not to such Person’s knowledge subject to confidentiality obligations to the Borrowers, the Parent or any of their Affiliates; (h) to the extent requested by, or required to be disclosed to, any nationally recognized rating agency or regulatory or similar authority (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners) having or purporting to have jurisdiction over it or any of its Affiliates, their business or operations (in which case, such Person shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law and reasonably practicable, inform the Company promptly thereof prior to disclosure except with respect to any audit or examination conducted by any governmental bank regulatory authority exercising examination or regulatory authority); (i) to bank trade publications, such information to consist of deal terms and other information customarily found in such publications; (j) to any other party hereto; (k) to the extent that such information is independently developed by such Person; (l) for purposes of establishing a “due diligence” defense; (m) to enforce their respective rights hereunder or under the Fee Letters; and (n) with the consent of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender may disclose any such confidential information, without notice to any Borrower or any other Loan Party, to Governmental Authorities in connection with any regulatory examination of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender or in accordance with the regulatory compliance policy of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender. As used in this Section, the term “Information” means all information received from any Borrower, any other Loan Party, any other Subsidiary or Affiliate relating to any Loan Party or any of their respective businesses pursuant to the requirements of the Administrative Agent or otherwise in connection with the Loan Documents, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Borrower, any other Loan Party, any other Subsidiary or any Affiliate.

References in this Section 13.10. to “Lender” or “Lenders” shall be deemed to include such Persons (and their Affiliates) in their capacity as Specified Derivatives Providers and Specified Cash Management Banks, as applicable.
At such time as (a) all of the Revolving Credit Commitments have been terminated, (b) all Letters of Credit have terminated or expired (other than Letters of Credit the expiration dates of which extend beyond the Revolving Credit Maturity Date as permitted under Section 2.4.(b) and in respect of which the Company has satisfied the requirements of such Section and Section 2.15.), (c) none of the Lenders is obligated any longer under this Agreement to make any Loans and (d) all Obligations (other than obligations which survive as hereafter provided in this Section 13.11. and contingent indemnification obligations that have not been asserted) have been paid and satisfied in full, this Agreement shall terminate. Promptly following such termination, each Lender shall promptly return to the relevant Borrower any Note issued to such Lender. The provisions of Sections 3.10., 5.1., 5.4. and 13.5., the indemnities to which the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders are entitled under Sections 12.6., 13.2., 13.10. and any other provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and (for as long as any Letters of Credit remain outstanding) the provisions of Sections 2.15. and 11.5., shall continue in full force and effect and shall protect the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders (i) notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, or of the other Loan Documents, against events arising after such termination as well as before and (ii) at all times after any such party ceases to be a party to this Agreement with respect to all matters and events existing on or prior to the date such party ceased to be a party to this Agreement. Upon the Company’s request, the Administrative Agent agrees to
226
deliver to the Company, at the Company’s sole cost and expense, written confirmation of the foregoing termination.
If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision shall be deemed severed from the Loan Documents, and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall remain in full force as though the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had never been part of the Loan Documents.
THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS EXECUTED, AND TO BE FULLY PERFORMED, IN SUCH STATE.

All counterparts shall collectively constitute a single document. It shall not be necessary in making proof of this document to produce or account for more than a single counterpart containing the respective signatures of, or on behalf of, each of the parties hereto. For purposes hereof, the words “execution,” “execute”, “executed,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, the electronic matching of assignment terms and contract formations on electronic platforms approved by the Administrative Agent, or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act; provided, that, without limiting the foregoing, (a) to the extent the Administrative Agent has agreed to accept such Electronic Signature, each party hereto shall be entitled to rely on any such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of any other party hereto without further verification and (b) upon the reasonable request of the Administrative Agent, any Electronic Signature of any party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall, as promptly as practicable, be followed by such manually executed counterpart.

In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan
227
Document), each of the Parent and the Company acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (i)(A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Parent, the Company, each other Loan Party and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers, on the other hand, (B) each of the Parent, the Company, and the other Loan Parties has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) the Parent, the Company and each other Loan Party is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii)(A) the Administrative Agent, each Lender, each Issuing Bank and each Arranger is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Parent, the Company, any other Loan Party, or any of their respective Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) neither the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Issuing Bank nor any Arranger has any obligation to the Parent, the Company, any other Loan Party, or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) the Administrative Agent, each Lender, each Issuing Bank and each Arranger and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Parent, the Company, the other Loan Parties, and their respective Affiliates, and neither the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Issuing Bank nor any Arranger has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Parent, the Company, any other Loan Party, or any of their respective Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each of the Parent, the Company, and the other Loan Parties hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent, each Lender, each Issuing Bank and each Arranger with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.
The obligations of the Company to direct or prohibit the taking of certain actions by the other Loan Parties and Subsidiaries as specified herein shall be absolute and not subject to any defense the Company may have that the Company does not control such Loan Parties or Subsidiaries.
All covenants hereunder shall be given in any jurisdiction independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or be otherwise within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.
None of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, or any of their respective Related Parties shall have any liability with respect to, and each Borrower hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue any of them upon, any claim for any special, indirect, incidental, or consequential or punitive damages suffered or incurred by any Borrower in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement, any of the other Loan
228
Documents or the Fee Letters, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Each Borrower hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender or any of the Administrative Agent’s, any Issuing Bank’s or any Lender’s Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, or agents for punitive damages in respect of any claim in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, the Fee Letters, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or financed hereby.
This Agreement, the Notes, the other Loan Documents and the Fee Letters embody the final, entire agreement among the parties hereto and supersede any and all prior commitments, agreements, representations, and understandings, whether written or oral, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and may not be contradicted or varied by evidence of prior, contemporaneous, or subsequent oral agreements or discussions of the parties hereto. To the extent any term of this Agreement is inconsistent with a term of any other Loan Document to which the parties of this Agreement are party, the term of this Agreement shall control to the extent of such inconsistency. There are no oral agreements among the parties hereto.
The Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank, each Borrower and each Lender acknowledge that each of them has had the benefit of legal counsel of its own choice and has been afforded an opportunity to review this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with its legal counsel and that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be construed as if jointly drafted by the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank, each Borrower and each Lender.
The paragraph and section headings in this Agreement are provided for convenience of reference only and shall not affect its construction or interpretation.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
229
Unless the Parent becomes a Guarantor pursuant to Section 8.17.(b) and subject to the limitations described below in this Section 13.23., notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, the Obligations of the Loan Parties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are non-recourse to the Parent or any Parent Entity as a result of its capacity as a member of the Company and as a result of its having joined in the execution of this Agreement; provided that the foregoing shall not limit any recourse to the Loan Parties and their respective assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired. The Lender Parties, by such other Persons’ acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, agree that, unless the Parent has become a Guarantor pursuant to Section 8.17.(b), (x) the Parent and the Parent Entities shall not be liable for any of the Obligations of the Loan Parties under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents as a result of its status as a member of the Company or otherwise and (y) the Parent is joining in the execution of this Agreement solely for the limited purpose of being bound by the terms of the Sections of this Agreement expressly applicable to the Parent, including all covenants made by the Parent and the Parent Entities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) if an Event of Default occurs, nothing in this Section 13.23. shall in any way prevent or hinder any Lender Party in the pursuit or enforcement of any right, remedy, or judgment against the Loan Parties or any of their respective assets and (b) the Parent shall be fully liable to the Lender Parties for any breach by the Parent of any of Sections 8.8.(b), 8.12., 8.13., 8.16., 8.17., 8.18.(b), 13.24. and otherwise to the same extent that Parent would be liable absent the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.23. for fraud or willful misrepresentation or any other unlawful acts by the Company, any Borrower, the Parent, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries (to the full extent of losses suffered by any Lender Party by reason of such fraud or willful misrepresentation or such other unlawful acts).
The Parent hereby expressly covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other Lender Parties that all obligations and liabilities of any other Loan Party or Subsidiary to the Parent of whatever description, including without limitation, all intercompany Indebtedness or receivables of the Parent from any other Loan Party or Subsidiary (collectively, the “Junior Claims”) shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to all Obligations hereunder. During the continuance of an Event of Default, the Parent shall not accept any direct or indirect payment (in cash, property or securities, by setoff or otherwise) from any Loan Party or Subsidiary on account of or in any manner in respect of any Junior Claim until all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full.
230
To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Derivatives Contracts or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows 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):
“BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.
“Covered Entity” means any of the following:
231
“Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.
“QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).
In order to induce the Lenders to extend credit to the other Borrowers hereunder, but subject to the last sentence of this Article XIV, each Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the payment when and as due of the Obligations of such other Borrowers. Each Borrower further agrees that the due and punctual payment of such Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon its guarantee hereunder notwithstanding any such extension or renewal of any such Obligation.
Each Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally jointly and severally agrees that if any obligation guaranteed by it is or becomes unenforceable, invalid or illegal, it will, as an independent and primary obligation, indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders immediately on demand against any cost, loss or liability they incur as a result of any Borrower not paying any amount which would, but for such unenforceability, invalidity or illegality, have been payable by it under this Article XIV on the date when it would have been due (but so that the amount payable by a Borrower under this indemnity will not exceed the amount it would have had to pay under this Article XIV if the amount claimed had been recoverable on the basis of a guarantee).
Each Borrower waives presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to any Borrower of any of the Obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of its obligations and notice of protest for nonpayment. The obligations of each Borrower hereunder shall not be affected by (a) the failure of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against any Borrower under the provisions of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise; (b) any extension or renewal of any of the Obligations; (c) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or release from, any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement, or any other Loan Document or agreement; (d) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of any of the Obligations; (e) the failure of the Administrative Agent to take any steps to perfect and maintain any security interest in, or to preserve any rights to, any security or collateral for the Obligations, if any; (f) any change in the corporate, partnership or other existence, structure or ownership of any Borrower or any other guarantor of any of the Obligations; (g) the enforceability or validity of the Obligations or any part thereof or the genuineness, enforceability or validity of any agreement relating thereto or with respect to any collateral securing the Obligations or any part thereof, or any other invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against any Loan Party or any other guarantor of any of the
232
Obligations, for any reason related to this Agreement, any Specified Derivatives Contract, any Specified Cash Management Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any provision of applicable law, decree, order or regulation of any jurisdiction purporting to prohibit the payment by such Borrower or any other guarantor of the Obligations, of any of the Obligations or otherwise affecting any term of any of the Obligations; or (h) any other act, omission or delay to do any other act which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Borrower or otherwise operate as a discharge of a guarantor as a matter of law or equity or which would impair or eliminate any right of such Borrower to subrogation.
Each Borrower further agrees that its agreement hereunder constitutes a guarantee of payment when due (whether or not any bankruptcy or similar proceeding shall have stayed the accrual or collection of any of the Obligations or operated as a discharge thereof) and not merely of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in favor of any Borrower or any other Person.
The obligations of each Borrower hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, and shall not be subject to any defense or set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever, by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any of the Obligations, any impossibility in the performance of any of the Obligations or otherwise.
Each Borrower further agrees that its obligations hereunder shall constitute a continuing and irrevocable guarantee of all Obligations of such other Borrowers now or hereafter existing and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Obligation (including a payment effected through exercise of a right of setoff) is rescinded or is or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower or otherwise.
In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may have at law or in equity against any Borrower by virtue hereof, upon the failure of any other Borrower to pay any Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, each Borrower hereby promises to and will, upon receipt of written demand by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in cash an amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of such Obligations then due, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon. Each Borrower further agrees that if payment in respect of any Obligation shall be due in a currency other than Dollars and/or at a place of payment other than New York, Chicago, the Principal Office, the Multicurrency Payment Office or any other Lending Office and if, by reason of any Regulatory Change, disruption of currency or foreign exchange markets, war or civil disturbance or other event, payment of such Obligation in such currency or at such place of payment shall be impossible or, in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, disadvantageous to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in any material respect, then, at the election of the Administrative Agent, such Borrower shall make payment of such Obligation in Dollars (based upon the applicable Dollar
233
Amount in effect on the date of payment) and/or in New York, Chicago or such other applicable payment office as is designated by the Administrative Agent and, as a separate and independent obligation, shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank and any Lender against any losses or reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses that it shall sustain as a result of such alternative payment.
Upon payment by any Borrower of any sums as provided above, all rights of such Borrower against any Borrower arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinated and junior in right of payment to the prior payment in full in cash of all the Obligations owed by such Borrower to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders.
Nothing shall discharge or satisfy the liability of any Borrower hereunder except the full performance and payment of the Obligations.
Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Loan Party to honor all of its obligations under this Article XIV or the Guaranty (if any), as applicable, in respect of Specified Derivatives Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this paragraph for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this paragraph or otherwise under this Article XIV or the Guaranty (if any), as applicable, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Article XIV or the Guaranty (if any), as applicable, shall remain in full force and effect until a discharge of such Qualified ECP Guarantor’s Obligations in accordance with the terms hereof and the other Loan Documents. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this paragraph constitute, and this paragraph shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

THIS DELAYED DRAW TERM LOAN AGREEMENT, as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time (this “Agreement”) dated as of August 28, 2019 by and among PARK INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS LLC, a limited liability company formed under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Company” or the “Borrower Representative”), PK DOMESTIC PROPERTY LLC, a limited liability company formed under the laws of the State of Delaware (“PK Domestic LLC”), as a Borrower, PARK HOTELS & RESORTS INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Parent”), solely for the limited purposes described in Section 13.23., the Subsidiaries of the Company from time to time party hereto as Subsidiary Borrowers, each of the financial institutions initially a signatory hereto together with their successors and assignees under Section 13.6. (the “Lenders”), and BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., as Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent”).
WHEREAS, the Company, PK Domestic LLC, the Parent, the Subsidiary Borrowers, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent desire to enter into this Agreement to provide a delayed draw term loan facility to the Company, PK Domestic LLC and the Subsidiary Borrowers, on and subject to the terms and conditions contained herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by the parties hereto, the parties hereto agree as follows:
In addition to terms defined elsewhere herein, the following terms shall have the following meanings for the purposes of this Agreement:
“1031 Property” means any Property or interests (including Equity Interests) in Property that is at any time held by a “qualified intermediary” (a “QI”), as defined in the Treasury Regulations promulgated pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code, or an “exchange accommodation titleholder” (an “EAT”), as defined in Internal Revenue Service Revenue Procedure 2000-37, as modified by Internal Revenue Procedure 2004-51, (or in either case, by one or more Wholly Owned Subsidiaries thereof, singly or as tenants in common) which is a single purpose entity and has entered into an “exchange agreement” or a “qualified exchange accommodation agreement” with the Parent, the Company, PK Domestic LLC or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary in connection with the acquisition (or possible disposition) of such Property by the Company or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary pursuant to, and intended to qualify for tax treatment under, Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code.
“Acceptable Preferred Equity Interests” means that certain Series A Preferred Stock in PK Domestic REIT to be issued to Persons other than the Company and its Subsidiaries on or after June 14, 2019 which shall be non-voting with respect to the election of the directors of PK Domestic REIT and having an initial aggregate liquidation value of up to $125,000 (exclusive of any accrued and unpaid dividends and early redemption premiums) and separately disclosed in writing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders prior to the Closing Date; provided that such Persons shall not receive aggregate dividends and distributions in respect of such Acceptable Preferred Equity Interests in excess of 12% of the initial aggregate liquidation value thereof
1
(exclusive of any early redemption premiums or any distribution in respect of a redemption or purchase of such Acceptable Preferred Equity Interests made by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) during any fiscal year of the Parent. For the avoidance of doubt, so long as such Acceptable Preferred Equity Interests are not owned directly or indirectly by the Parent, any Liens on any Acceptable Preferred Equity Interests shall constitute Permitted Equity Liens.
“Accession Agreement” means an Accession Agreement substantially in the form attached to the Guaranty.
“Acquisition” means any acquisition, or any series of related acquisitions, consummated on or after the First Amendment Effective Date, by which any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries (a) acquires any business or all or substantially all of the assets of any Person, or business unit, line of business or division thereof, whether through purchase of assets, exchange, issuance of stock or other equity or debt securities, merger, reorganization, amalgamation, division or otherwise or (b) directly or indirectly acquires (in one transaction or as the most recent transaction in a series of transactions) at least a majority (in number of votes) of the securities of a corporation which have ordinary voting power for the election of members of the board of directors or the equivalent governing body (other than securities having such power only by reason of the happening of a contingency) or a majority (by percentage or voting power) of the outstanding ownership interests of a partnership or limited liability company.
“Additional Costs” has the meaning given that term in Section 5.1.(b).
“Adjusted Funds From Operations” means, with respect to a Person and for a given period, Funds From Operations of such Person for such period, plus non-cash charges, including expense for share-based payment awards and impairment charges (other than non-cash charges that constitute an accrual of a reserve for future cash payments), in each case, of such Person for such period.
“Adjusted Net Operating Income” or “Adjusted NOI” means, for any period, the Net Operating Income of the applicable Hotel Properties for such period, subject to the following adjustments:
For purposes of determining Adjusted NOI, the Net Operating Income shall be calculated on a pro forma basis for acquisitions and dispositions during such period, such that (i) in the case of a Hotel Property acquired during the calculation period, the Net Operating Income thereof for the entire period (including the actual historical Net Operating Income of such Hotel Property prior to the acquisition thereof and adjusted in accordance with the requirements above) shall be included in
2
the determination of Adjusted NOI and (ii) in the case of a Hotel Property disposed of during the calculation period, the Net Operating Income thereof for the entire period shall be excluded in the determination of Adjusted NOI for such period.

provided that, from and after the Second Amendment Effective Date, each prepayment of the Loans required under this Section 2.9.(b)(D) shall be applied as follows (including any

(I) first, to the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans until paid in full;

(E) Prepayment of LIBOR Loans. Each prepayment shall be accompanied by any amount required to be paid pursuant to Section 5.4.; provided that, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if any prepayment of LIBOR Loans is required to be made under this Section 2.9.(b) prior to the last day of the Interest Period therefor, in lieu of making any payment pursuant to this Section 2.9.(b) in respect of any such LIBOR Loan prior to the last day of the Interest Period therefor, the Company may, in its sole discretion, deposit an amount sufficient to make any such prepayment otherwise required to be made thereunder together with accrued interest to the last day of such Interest Period into an account held at, and subject to the sole control of, the Administrative Agent until the last day of such Interest Period, at which time the Administrative Agent shall be authorized (without any further action by or notice to or from the Company or any other Loan Party) to apply such amount to the prepayment of such Loans in accordance with this Section 2.9.(b). Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall also be authorized (without any further action by or notice to or from the Company or any other Loan Party) to apply such amount to the prepayment of the outstanding Loans in accordance with the relevant provisions of this Section 2.9.(b).
So long as no Default or Event of Default exists, the Borrower Representative may on any Business Day, with respect to any LIBOR Loan elect to maintain such Loan or any portion thereof as a LIBOR Loan by selecting a new Interest Period for such Loan. Each Continuation of a LIBOR
73
Loan shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount, and each new Interest Period selected under this Section shall commence on the first day of such Interest Period. Each selection of a new Interest Period shall be made by the Borrower Representative’s giving to the Administrative Agent a Notice of Continuation not later than 11:00 a.m. New York City time on the third (3rd) Business Day prior to the date of any such Continuation. Any notice by the Borrower Representative of a Continuation shall be by electronic mail or other similar form of communication in the form of a Notice of Continuation, specifying (a) the proposed date of such Continuation, (b) the LIBOR Loans or portions thereof subject to such Continuation and (c) the duration of the selected Interest Period, all of which shall be specified in such manner as is necessary to comply with all limitations on Loans outstanding hereunder. Each Notice of Continuation shall be irrevocable by and binding on the Borrowers once given. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Continuation, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the proposed Continuation. If the Borrower Representative shall fail to select in a timely manner a new Interest Period for any LIBOR Loan in accordance with this Section, such Loan will automatically, on the last day of the current Interest Period therefor, Continue as a LIBOR Loan with an Interest Period of one month; provided, however that if a Default or Event of Default exists, unless repaid such Loan will automatically Convert into a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the current Interest Period therefor, notwithstanding the first sentence of Section 2.11. or the Borrower Representative’s failure to comply with any of the terms of such Section 2.11.
So long as no Default or Event of Default exists, the Borrower Representative may on any Business Day, upon the Borrower Representative’s giving of a Notice of Conversion to the Administrative Agent by electronic mail or other similar form of written communication, Convert all or a portion of a Loan of one Type into a Loan of another Type; provided, however, that a Base Rate Loan may not be Converted into a LIBOR Loan if a Default or Event of Default exists. Each Conversion of Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount. Each Conversion of LIBOR Loans into Base Rate Loans shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $500,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount. Any Conversion of a LIBOR Loan into a Base Rate Loan shall be made on, and only on, the last day of an Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan. Each such Notice of Conversion shall be given not later than 11:00 a.m. New York City time three (3) Business Days prior to the date of any proposed Conversion of Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans or of any proposed Conversion of LIBOR Loans into Base Rate Loans. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Conversion, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the proposed Conversion. Subject to the restrictions specified above, each Notice of Conversion shall be by electronic mail or other similar form of written communication in the form of a Notice of Conversion specifying (a) the requested date of such Conversion, (b) the Type of Loan to be Converted, (c) the portion of such Type of Loan to be Converted, (d) the Type of Loan such Loan is to be Converted into and (e) if such Conversion is into a LIBOR Loan, the requested duration of the Interest Period of such Loan. If the Borrower Representative shall elect a conversion to LIBOR Loans but fail to select an Interest Period for any LIBOR Loan in accordance with this Section, the Borrower Representative shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month and if the Borrower Representative fails to give a timely notice requesting a Conversion to
74
LIBOR Loans, then the applicable Loans shall be Continued as Base Rate Loans. Each Notice of Conversion shall be irrevocable by and binding on the Borrowers once given.

Each Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to disburse the proceeds of any Loan made by the Lenders or any of their Affiliates pursuant to the Loan Documents as requested by the Borrower Representative to the account designated in the Disbursement Instruction Letter or to such other account designated by the Borrower Representative in an updated Disbursement Instruction Letter delivered to the Administrative Agent.

(ii) With respect to any payment that the Administrative Agent makes for the account of the Lenders hereunder as to which the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that any of the following applies (such payment referred to as the “Rescindable Amount”) : (1) the Borrower has not in fact made such payment; (2) the Administrative Agent has made a payment in excess of the amount so paid by the Borrower (whether or not then owed); or (3) the Administrative Agent has for any reason otherwise erroneously made such payment; then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount so distributed to such Lender, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
(iii) A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this clause (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, including, without limitation, Sections 3.9.(c), 3.9.(h), 5.6. and 13.7.(d): (a) each borrowing from a Tranche under Section 2.2.(a) shall be made from the Lenders under that Tranche, each payment of the fees under the second sentence of Section 3.5.(a) or the second sentence of Section 3.5.(b) shall be made for the account of such Lenders, and each termination or reduction of the amount of a Tranche of Commitments under Section 2.13. shall be applied to the applicable Commitments of the Lenders under that Tranche, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective applicable Commitments; (b) each payment or prepayment of the principal of Loans outstanding under a Tranche shall be made for the account of the Lenders under that Tranche pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of such Loans held by them; provided that, subject to Section 3.9., if immediately prior to giving effect to any such payment the Outstanding Amount of the Loans outstanding under a Tranche shall not be held by the Lenders under that Tranche pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments in effect at the time such Loans were made, then such payment shall be applied to such Loans in such manner as shall result, as nearly as is practicable, in the Outstanding Amount of such Loans being held by such Lenders pro rata in accordance with such respective applicable Commitments; (c) each payment of interest on Loans outstanding under a Tranche shall be made for the account of the Lenders under that Tranche pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such Loans then due and payable to such Lenders; and (d) the making, Conversion and Continuation of Loans outstanding under a Tranche of a particular Type (other than Conversions provided for by Sections 5.1.(c) and 5.5.) shall be made pro rata among the Lenders under that Tranche according to the Outstanding Amounts of their Loans under that Tranche and the then current Interest Period for each Lender’s portion of each such Loan of such Type shall be coterminous.
82
If a Lender shall obtain payment of any principal of, or interest on, any Loan under this Agreement or shall obtain payment on any other Obligation owing by any Borrower or any other Loan Party through the exercise of any right of set-off, banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar right or otherwise or through voluntary prepayments directly to a Lender or other payments made by or on behalf of any Borrower or any other Loan Party to a Lender (other than any payment in respect of Specified Derivatives Obligations) not in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and such payment should be distributed to the Lenders in accordance with Section 3.2. or Section 11.4., as applicable, such Lender shall promptly purchase from the other Lenders participations in (or, if and to the extent specified by such Lender, direct interests in) the Loans made by the other Lenders or other Obligations owed to such other Lenders in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable, to the end that all the Lenders shall share the benefit of such payment (net of any reasonable expenses which may actually be incurred by such Lender in obtaining or preserving such benefit) in accordance with the requirements of Section 3.2. or Section 11.4., as applicable. To such end, all the Lenders shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored. Each Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation (or direct interest) in the Loans or other Obligations owed to such other Lenders may exercise all rights of set-off, banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct holder of Loans in the amount of such participation. Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness or obligation of the Borrowers.
No Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make a Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other Lender hereunder, and the failure of any Lender to make a Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by it hereunder shall not relieve the obligation of any other Lender to make any Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other Lender.
83
Unless otherwise expressly set forth herein, any accrued interest on any Loan, any Fees or any other Obligations due hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360) days and the actual number of days elapsed, except that interest on Base Rate Loans shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and the actual number of days elapsed.
In no event shall the amount of interest due or payable on the Loans or other Obligations exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed by Applicable Law and, if any such payment is paid by any Borrower or any other Loan Party or received by any Lender, then such excess sum shall be credited as a payment of principal, unless such Borrower or other Loan Party (or the Borrower Representative on behalf of such Borrower or other Loan Party) shall notify the respective Lender in writing that such Borrower elects to have such excess sum returned to it forthwith. It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the Borrowers not pay and the Lenders not receive, directly or indirectly, in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be lawfully paid by the Borrowers under Applicable Law. The parties hereto hereby agree and stipulate that the only charge imposed upon the Borrowers for the use of money in connection with this Agreement is and shall be the interest specifically described in Section 2.6.(a)(i) and (ii). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto further agree and stipulate that all agency fees, syndication fees, facility fees, closing fees, underwriting fees, default charges, late charges, funding or “breakage” charges, increased cost charges, attorneys’ fees and reimbursement for costs and expenses paid by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to third parties or for damages incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, in each case in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, are charges made to compensate the Administrative Agent or any such Lender for underwriting or administrative services and costs or losses performed or incurred, and to be performed or incurred, by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with this Agreement and shall under no circumstances be deemed to be charges for the use of money. All charges other than charges for the use of money shall be fully earned and nonrefundable when due.
84
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law:
(a) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Requisite Lenders and in Section 13.7.
(b) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, Fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article XI. or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 13.4. shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower Representative may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to any Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made when the applicable conditions set forth in Article VI. were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this subsection shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
(c) Certain Fees. No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive the Fee payable under Section 3.5.(a) or (b) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).
(d) [Intentionally Omitted]
85
(e) [Intentionally Omitted]
(f) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Commitment Percentages, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to Fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that, subject to Section 13.22., except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
(g) [Intentionally Omitted]
(h) Purchase of Defaulting Lender’s Commitments. During any period that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower Representative may, by the Borrower Representative’s giving written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent, such Defaulting Lender and the other Lenders, demand that such Defaulting Lender, and upon such demand such Defaulting Lender shall promptly, so long as such assignment shall not conflict with Applicable Law, assign its Commitments, its Loans and all of its other interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.6.(b). No party hereto shall have any obligation whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding an Eligible Assignee. In addition, any Lender that is not a Defaulting Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, in its sole discretion, acquire the face amount of all or a portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitments and Loans via an assignment subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.6.(b). In connection with any such assignment, such Defaulting Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to effect such assignment, including an appropriate Assignment and Assumption and, notwithstanding Section 13.6.(b), shall pay to the Administrative Agent an assignment fee in the amount of $7,500 (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent shall agree). The exercise by the Borrower Representative of its rights under this Section shall be at the Borrowers’ sole cost and expense and at no cost or expense to the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders.
(a) Applicable Law. For purposes of this Section, the term “Applicable Law” includes FATCA.
(b) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Borrower or any other Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable
86
Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by such Borrower or other applicable Loan 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 applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(c) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers. The Borrowers and the Guarantors shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
(d) Indemnification by the Borrowers. The Borrowers and the other Guarantors shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within thirty (30) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower Representative 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; provided that the determinations in such statement are made on a reasonable basis and in good faith.
(e) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that a Borrower or a Guarantor has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 13.6. relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any 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 subsection.
(f) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Borrower or any Guarantor to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section, such Borrower or such Guarantor shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
87
(g) Status of Lenders.
(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative 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 Representative or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower Representative 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 the immediately following clauses (ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D)) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:
(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower Representative 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 Representative or the Administrative Agent), an electronic copy of an executed IRS Form W-9 (or any successor form) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;
(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
(I) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, an electronic copy of an executed IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (as applicable) 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, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or
88
reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;
(II) an electronic copy of an executed IRS Form W-8ECI;
(III) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit M-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of any Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to any Borrower described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (as applicable); or
(IV) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, an electronic copy of an executed IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit M-2 or Exhibit M-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit M-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent), an electronic copy 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 Representative or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
(D) 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 Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the
89
Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(h) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this subsection (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 subsection, in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this subsection 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 subsection shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
(i) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.
90
(i) subjects the Administrative Agent or any Lender to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;
(ii) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirements (other than Regulation D of the Board or other similar reserve requirement applicable to any other category of liabilities or category of extensions of credit or other assets by reference to which the interest rate on LIBOR Loans is determined to the extent utilized when determining LIBOR for such Loans) relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by such Lender (or its parent corporation), or any commitment of such Lender (including, without limitation, the Commitments of such Lender hereunder);
(iii) has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of such Lender to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such Regulatory Change (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity); or
(iv) imposes on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender.
91
92
then the Administrative Agent shall give the Borrower Representative and each Lender prompt notice thereof and, so long as such condition remains in effect, (i) the Lenders shall be under no obligation to, and shall not, make additional LIBOR Loans, Continue LIBOR Loans or Convert Loans into LIBOR Loans and the Borrowers shall, on the last day of each current Interest Period for each outstanding LIBOR Loan, either prepay such Loan or Convert such Loan into a Base Rate Loan.
93
then, reasonably promptly after such determination by the Administrative Agent or receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers may amend this Agreement to replace LIBOR with an alternate benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark (if any) incorporated therein), giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated syndicated credit facilities for such alternative benchmarks (any such proposed rate, a “LIBOR Successor Rate”), together with any proposed LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes (as defined below) and any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrowers unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Requisite Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Requisite Lenders do not accept such amendment. Such LIBOR Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, such LIBOR Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent in consultation with the Borrower Representative.
If no LIBOR Successor Rate has been determined and the circumstances under clause (i) above exist or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred (as applicable), the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower Representative and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain LIBOR Loans shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected LIBOR Loans or Interest Periods), and (y) the Eurodollar Rate component shall no longer be utilized in determining the Base Rate. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower Representative may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, Conversion to or Continuation of LIBOR Loans (to the extent of the affected LIBOR Loans or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for Base Rate Loans (subject to the foregoing clause (y)) in the amount specified therein.
Notwithstanding anything else herein, any definition of LIBOR Successor Rate shall provide that in no event shall such LIBOR Successor Rate be less than 0.25% for purposes of this Agreement.
For purposes hereof, “LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any proposed LIBOR Successor Rate, any conforming changes to the definition of Base Rate, Interest Period, timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest and other administrative matters as may be appropriate, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent in consultation with the Borrower Representative, to reflect the adoption of such LIBOR Successor Rate and to permit the administration thereof by the Administrative Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Administrative Agent determines that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or that no market practice for the administration of such LIBOR Successor Rate exists, in such other manner of administration as the Administrative Agent determines is reasonably necessary in connection with the administration of this Agreement in consultation with the Borrower Representative).
94
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall reasonably determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding) that it is unlawful for such Lender to honor its obligation to make or maintain LIBOR Loans hereunder, then such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent and such Lender’s obligation to make or Continue, or to Convert Loans of any other Type into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain LIBOR Loans (in which case the provisions of Section 5.5. shall be applicable).
The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such amount or amounts as the Administrative Agent shall determine in its reasonable discretion shall be sufficient to compensate such Lender for any loss, cost or expense attributable to:
Not in limitation of the foregoing, such compensation shall include, without limitation, in the case of a LIBOR Loan an amount equal to the then present value of (A) the amount of interest that would have accrued on such Loan for the remainder of the Interest Period at the rate applicable to such Loan, less (B) the amount of interest that would accrue on the same Loan for the same period if LIBOR were set on the date on which such LIBOR Loan was repaid, prepaid or Converted or the date on which the Borrowers failed to borrow, Convert or Continue such LIBOR Loan, as applicable. The Borrowers shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing. Upon the request of the Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent shall provide the Borrower Representative with a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such compensation and the method for determining the amount thereof. Any such statement shall be conclusive absent manifest error, provided that that the determinations in such statement are made on a reasonable basis and in good faith.
If the obligation of any Lender to make LIBOR Loans or to Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 5.1.(c), Section 5.2., or Section 5.3., then such Lender’s LIBOR Loans shall be automatically Converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for LIBOR Loans (or, in the case of a Conversion required by Section 5.1.(c), Section 5.2., or Section 5.3., on such earlier date as
95
such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, may specify to the Borrower Representative and, if applicable, the Administrative Agent) and, unless and until such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 5.1.(c), Section 5.2., or Section 5.3. that gave rise to such Conversion no longer exist:
If such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, gives notice to the Borrower Representative and, if applicable, the Administrative Agent, that the circumstances specified in Section 5.1.(c), 5.2. or 5.3. that gave rise to the Conversion of such Lender’s LIBOR Loans pursuant to this Section no longer exist (which such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when LIBOR Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, then such Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall be automatically Converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding LIBOR Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding LIBOR Loans and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, Types and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Commitments.
If (a) a Lender requests compensation pursuant to Section 3.10. or 5.1., and the Requisite Lenders are not also doing the same, (b) any Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender or (c) the obligation of any Lender to make or Continue LIBOR Loans or to Convert Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans, shall be suspended pursuant to Section 5.1.(c) or 5.3. but the obligation of the Requisite Lenders shall not have been suspended under such Sections, then the Company may demand that such Lender (the “Affected Lender”), and upon such demand the Affected Lender shall promptly, assign its Commitments, its Loans and all of its other interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.6.(b) for a purchase price equal to (x) the aggregate principal balance of all Loans then owing to the Affected Lender, plus (y) any accrued but unpaid interest thereon and accrued but unpaid fees owing to the Affected Lender, or any other amount as may be mutually agreed upon by such Affected Lender and Eligible Assignee. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Affected Lender shall reasonably cooperate in effectuating the replacement of such Affected Lender under this Section and the Affected Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to surrender and transfer such interest to the purchaser or assignee thereof, including an appropriate Assignment and Assumption, but at no time shall the Administrative Agent, such Affected Lender or any other Lender be obligated in any way whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding an Eligible Assignee. The exercise by the Company of its rights under this Section shall be at the Borrowers’ sole cost and
96
expense and at no cost or expense to the Administrative Agent, the Affected Lender or any of the other Lenders. The terms of this Section shall not in any way limit the Borrowers’ obligation to pay to any Affected Lender compensation owing to such Affected Lender pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, pursuant to Sections 3.10., 5.1. or 5.4.) with respect to any period up to the date of replacement.
Each Lender agrees that it will, in good faith, use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate an alternate Lending Office with respect to any of its Loans affected by the matters or circumstances described in Sections 3.10., 5.1. or 5.3. to reduce the liability of the Borrowers or avoid the results provided thereunder, so long as such designation is not disadvantageous to such Lender as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, except that such Lender shall have no obligation to designate a Lending Office located in the United States of America.
Calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this Article shall be made as though such Lender had actually funded LIBOR Loans through the purchase of deposits in the relevant market bearing interest at the rate applicable to such Loans in an amount equal to the amount of such Loans and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period; provided, however, that each Lender may fund each of its LIBOR Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumption shall be used only for calculation of amounts payable under this Article.
(I) Conditions to Closing Date. The effectiveness of this Agreement is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the following conditions precedent (and upon the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions, the Closing Date shall be deemed to have occurred):
97
98
(II) Conditions to Funding on the Funding Date. The obligation of each Lender to make its initial Loans hereunder is subject to satisfaction or waiver of the following conditions precedent (and upon the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions, the Funding Date shall be deemed to have occurred):
99
100
For the avoidance of doubt, the absence of a Default or Event of Default is not a condition precedent to the Funding Date.
In connection with the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may request, and PK Domestic LLC shall deliver, a certificate signed by a Responsible Officer of PK Domestic LLC that the foregoing conditions in clauses (a) through (f) have been satisfied.
The obligations of the Lenders to make any Loans after the Funding Date are subject to the further conditions precedent that:
Each giving of a Notice of Borrowing, and the consummation of each borrowing of Loans referenced in this Section 6.2. shall constitute a representation to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders at the time such Loan is made that all conditions to the making of such Loan contained in Section 6.1.II. (in the case of the borrowing on the Funding Date) or Section 6.2. (in all subsequent cases) have been satisfied.
The making of its initial Loan by a Lender shall constitute a confirmation by such Lender to the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders that insofar as such Lender is concerned the Borrowers have satisfied the conditions precedent for initial Loans set forth in Section 6.1.II.
101
The designation of a Subsidiary Borrower pursuant to Section 2.21. is subject to the condition precedent that the Borrower Representative or such proposed Subsidiary Borrower shall have furnished or caused to be furnished to the Administrative Agent:
102
In order to induce the Administrative Agent and each Lender to enter into this Agreement and to make Loans, each Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and each Lender as follows:
103
104
105
106
(i) each Benefit Arrangement is in compliance with the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Internal Revenue Code and other Applicable Laws;
(ii) with respect to any Benefit Arrangement that is a retiree welfare benefit arrangement, all amounts have been accrued on the applicable ERISA Group’s financial statements in accordance with FASB ASC 715; and

107
Internal Revenue Code, in connection with any Plan, that would subject any member of the ERISA Group to a tax on prohibited transactions imposed by Section 502(i) of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code.
108
109
110
(i) None of (i) the Parent, the Company, any Subsidiary or, to the knowledge of the Parent, the Company or such Subsidiary, any of their respective directors, officers, employees or affiliates, or (ii) to the knowledge of any Responsible Officer, any agent or representative of the Parent, the Company or any Subsidiary that will act in any capacity in connection with or benefit from any Loan, (A) is a Sanctioned Person or currently the subject or target of any Sanctions, (B) except to the extent in compliance with all applicable Sanctions, has its assets located in a Sanctioned Country, (C) except to the extent in compliance with all applicable Sanctions, directly or indirectly derives revenues from investments in, or transactions with, Sanctioned Persons or Sanctioned Countries or (D) has taken any action, directly or indirectly, that would result in a violation by such Persons of any Anti-Corruption Laws. Each of the Parent, the Company and their Subsidiaries has implemented and maintains in effect policies and procedures (including policies and procedures implemented and maintained by the managers of Hotel Properties) reasonably designed to ensure compliance by the Parent, the Company and their Subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and Affiliates with the Anti-Corruption Laws. Each of the Parent, the Company and their Subsidiaries, and to the knowledge of any Responsible Officer, each director, officer, employee, agent and Affiliate of the Parent, the Company and each such Subsidiary, is in compliance with the Anti-Corruption Laws in all material respects.
(ii) No proceeds of any Loan have been used, directly or indirectly, by the Parent, the Company, any Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any of its or their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (A) in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay, or authorization of the payment or giving of money, or anything else of value, to any Person in violation of any Anti-Corruption Laws, (B) for the purpose of funding, financing or facilitating any activities, business or transaction of or with any Sanctioned Person, or in any Sanctioned Country, including any payments (directly or indirectly) to a Sanctioned Person or a Sanctioned Country or (C) in any manner that would result in the violation of any Sanctions applicable to any party hereto.
111
With respect to any Foreign Subsidiary that may from time to time become a Subsidiary Borrower hereunder, each of the Company and such Subsidiary Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that:
112
All representations and warranties made under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to be made at and as of the Closing Date, the Funding Date, at and as of the date of the each Loan and the date on which any Incremental Facility is effectuated pursuant to Section 2.17., except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects (unless such representation and warranty is qualified by materiality, in which event such representation and warranty shall have been true and correct in all respects) on and as of such earlier date) and except for changes in factual circumstances permitted under the Loan Documents. All such representations and warranties shall survive the effectiveness of this Agreement, the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of the Loans.
For so long as this Agreement is in effect, unless the Requisite Lenders (or, if required pursuant to Section 13.7., all of the Lenders) shall otherwise consent in the manner provided for in Section 13.7., the Company shall, and as applicable, shall cause the other Loan Parties to, (and, with respect to Sections 8.8.(b), 8.12., 8.13., 8.16., 8.17. and 13.24., the Parent shall) comply with the following covenants:
Except as otherwise permitted under Section 10.4., the Company shall, and shall cause each other Loan Party and each other Subsidiary to, (i) preserve and maintain its respective existence, (ii) preserve and maintain its rights, franchises, licenses and privileges in the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation and (iii) qualify and remain qualified and authorized to do business in each jurisdiction in which the character of its properties or the nature of its business requires such qualification and authorization; except, in the case of clauses (i) (solely with respect to any such Person other than the Loan Parties and Eligible Property Subsidiaries), (ii) and (iii) (other than maintenance of good standing in the jurisdiction of organization of such Loan Party or Subsidiary), where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.
The Company shall, and shall cause each other Borrower, each other Loan Party and each other Subsidiary to, comply with all Applicable Laws, including the obtaining of all Governmental Approvals, the failure with which to comply could reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.
In addition to the requirements of any of the other Loan Documents, the Company shall, and shall cause each other Loan Party and each other Subsidiary to, (a) protect and preserve all of
113
its properties, including, but not limited to, all Intellectual Property necessary to the conduct of its respective business, and maintain in good repair, working order and condition all tangible properties, ordinary wear and tear and casualty events excepted and (b) from time to time make or cause to be made all needed and appropriate repairs, renewals, replacements and additions to such properties, so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly and advantageously conducted at all times, except in the cases of clauses (a) and (b) where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.
The Company shall, and shall cause the other Loan Parties and each other Subsidiary to, carry on its respective businesses as described in Section 7.1.(u) and not enter into any other line of business not incidental or reasonably related thereto.
The Company shall, and shall cause each other Loan Party and each other Subsidiary to, maintain insurance on a replacement cost basis with financially sound and reputable insurance companies against such risks and in such amounts as is customarily maintained by similar businesses and similar locations or as may be required by Applicable Law. The Company shall from time to time deliver to the Administrative Agent upon request a detailed list, together with copies of all policies of the insurance then in effect, stating the names of the insurance companies, the amounts and rates of the insurance, the dates of the expiration thereof and the properties and risks covered thereby.
The Company shall, and shall cause each other Loan Party and each other Subsidiary to, pay and discharge (a) prior to delinquency all federal and state income taxes and all other material taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon it or upon its income or profits or upon any properties belonging to it and (b) by not later than 30 days past due date therefor all lawful claims of materialmen, mechanics, carriers, warehousemen and landlords for labor, materials, supplies and rentals which, if unpaid, could become a Lien on any properties of such Person; provided, however, that this Section shall not require the payment or discharge of any such tax, assessment, charge, levy or claim (x) which is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings which operate to suspend the collection thereof and for which adequate reserves have been established on the books of such Person in accordance with GAAP or (y) in respect of which the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
The Company shall, and shall cause each other Loan Party and each other Subsidiary to, keep proper books of record and account in which full, true and correct entries in conformity with GAAP shall be made of all dealings and transactions in relation to its business and activities. Subject to limitations, if any, imposed under regulatory or confidentiality requirements and agreements to which the Parent or one of its Subsidiaries is subject or could otherwise reasonably be expected to contravene attorney–client privilege or constitute attorney work product, the
114
Company shall, and shall cause each other Loan Party and each other Subsidiary to, permit representatives of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to visit and inspect any of their respective properties, to examine and make abstracts from any of their respective books and records and to discuss their respective affairs, finances and accounts with their respective officers, employees and independent public accountants (in the Company’s presence if an Event of Default does not then exist), all at such reasonable times during business hours and as often as may reasonably be requested and, so long as no Event of Default exists, with reasonable prior notice. The Company shall be obligated to reimburse (a) the Administrative Agent for its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of its rights under this Section once per calendar year and (b) the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for their reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of their rights under this Section only if such exercise occurs while a Default or Event of Default exists.

124
125
For so long as this Agreement is in effect, unless the Requisite Lenders (or, if required pursuant to Section 13.7., all of the Lenders) shall otherwise consent in the manner provided for in Section 13.7., the Company shall, or shall cause the Parent or any other Loan Party, as applicable, to, furnish to the Administrative Agent for distribution to each of the Lenders:

The Company shall cooperate with the Administrative Agent in connection with the publication of certain materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of the Company. Documents required to be delivered pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be delivered by or on behalf of the Company to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (collectively, “Information Materials”) pursuant to this Article and, if requested by the Administrative Agent, the Company shall designate Information Materials (a) that are either available to the public or not material with respect to the Parent and its Subsidiaries or any of their respective securities for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws, as “Public Information” and (b) that are not Public Information as “Private Information”. All Information Materials that are neither identified as “Public Information” nor included in public filings made by the Parent, the Company or any of their Subsidiaries with the SEC shall be deemed to be private and confidential. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Lender who does not wish to receive Private Information (any such Lender, a “Public Lender”) agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of any website provided pursuant to Section 9.5. in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and Applicable Law, including United States federal and state securities laws, to make reference to Information Materials that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of such website provided pursuant to Section 9.5. and that may contain material non-public information with respect to the Parent, the Company or their securities for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws.
The Patriot Act and federal regulations issued with respect thereto require all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record certain information that identifies individuals or business entities which open an “account” with such financial institution. Consequently, a Lender (for itself and/or as agent for all Lenders hereunder) may from time to time request, and the Company shall, and shall cause the other Loan Parties, to provide, promptly upon any such request, to such Lender, such Loan Party’s name, address, tax identification number and/or such other identification information as shall be necessary for such Lender to comply with federal law. An “account” for this purpose may include, without limitation, a deposit account, cash management service, a transaction or asset account, a credit account, a loan or other extension of credit, and/or other financial services product.
For so long as this Agreement is in effect, unless the Requisite Lenders (or, if required pursuant to Section 13.7., all of the Lenders) shall otherwise consent in the manner provided for in Section 13.7., the Company shall comply with the following covenants:
132

(ii) with respect to clauses (a) and (d), customary provisions restricting assignment of any agreement, lease, license, permit or other contract entered into by the Company or any of their Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business.

The Company shall not, and shall not permit any other Loan Party or, except as would not reasonably be expected to (i) have a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) result in the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the Fee Letters, or the extensions of credit or repayments of amounts hereunder or thereunder, constituting a non-exempt “prohibited transaction” under ERISA or the Internal Revenue Code, any Subsidiary to, permit any of its respective assets to become or be deemed to be “plan assets” within the meaning of ERISA, the Internal Revenue Code and the respective regulations promulgated thereunder.

Nothing in this Section shall impose any obligation or liability whatsoever on the Administrative Agent or any Lender.
The Company shall not, and shall not permit any other Loan Party or other Subsidiary to enter into or become obligated in respect of, Derivatives Contracts, other than Derivatives Contracts entered into by the Parent, the Company, any other Loan Party or other Subsidiary for a bona fide business purpose to establish an effective hedge in respect of liabilities, commitments or assets held or reasonably anticipated to be held by the Parent, the Company, any other Loan Party or other Subsidiary.
During the Covenant Relief Period, the Company shall not, and shall not permit any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary to:

147
148
149
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.1., in the event of a Default or Event of Default arising as a result of the inclusion of any Hotel Property as an Eligible Property at any particular time of reference, if such Default or Event of Default is capable of being cured solely by the exclusion of such Hotel Property as an Eligible Property, the Company shall be permitted a period not to exceed fifteen (15) days from the earlier of (x) the date upon which a
150
Responsible Officer of the Company obtains knowledge of such Default or Event of Default (as applicable) or (y) the date upon which the Company has received written notice of such Default or Event of Default from the Administrative Agent, to exclude such Hotel Property as an Eligible Property by delivering to the Administrative Agent each of the following: (1) written notice thereof and (2) a Compliance Certificate, prepared for each fiscal period in which such Hotel Property was included as an Eligible Property but was not in fact an Eligible Property, evidencing compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Section 10.1. for such period, excluding such Hotel Property as an Eligible Property, as applicable.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default the following provisions shall apply:
151
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, except with respect to an Event of Default under Section 11.1.(e) (solely with respect to the Parent and the Borrowers) or Section 11.1.(f) (solely with respect to the Parent and the Borrowers), no Lender shall cancel or terminate any of its Commitments prior to the Funding Date.
No Lender Party shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Loan Party or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations. To the extent that any Loan Party makes a payment or payments to a Lender Party, or a Lender Party enforces its security interest or exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such recovery, the Guaranteed Obligations or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
First, to payment of that portion of the Guaranteed Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts, including attorney fees, payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such;
Second, to payment of that portion of the Guaranteed Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal and interest) payable to the Lenders
152
under the Loan Documents, including attorney fees, ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause payable to them;
Third, to payment of that portion of the Guaranteed Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans, ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause payable to them;
Fourth, to payment of that portion of the Guaranteed Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans and payment obligations then owing under Specified Derivatives Contracts and Specified Cash Management Agreements, ratably among the Lenders, the Specified Derivatives Providers and the Specified Cash Management Banks in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause payable to them; and
Fifth, the balance, if any, after all of the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full in cash, to the Company or as otherwise required by Applicable Law.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Guaranteed Obligations arising under Specified Derivatives Contracts and Specified Cash Management Agreements shall be excluded from the application described above if the Administrative Agent has not received written notice thereof, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Specified Derivatives Provider or Specified Cash Management Bank, as the case may be. Each Specified Derivatives Provider or Specified Cash Management Bank not a party to this Agreement that has given the notice contemplated by the preceding sentence shall, by such notice, be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of Article XII. for itself and its Affiliates as if a “Lender” party hereto.
If any Borrower or any other Loan Party shall fail to perform any covenant, duty or agreement contained in any of the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent may, after notice to such Borrower, and in the case of a Borrower other than the Company, with a copy to the Company, perform or attempt to perform such covenant, duty or agreement on behalf of such Borrower or such other Loan Party after the expiration of any cure or grace periods set forth herein. In such event, such Borrower shall, at the request of the Administrative Agent, promptly pay any amount reasonably expended by the Administrative Agent in such performance or attempted performance to the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon at the applicable Post-Default Rate from the date of such expenditure until paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability or responsibility whatsoever for the performance of any obligation of the Borrowers under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
153
Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as contractual representative on such Lender’s behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Not in limitation of the foregoing, each Lender authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to enter into the Loan Documents for the benefit of the Lenders. Each Lender hereby agrees that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Requisite Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Requisite Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other
154
powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders. Nothing herein shall be construed to deem the Administrative Agent a trustee or fiduciary for any Lender or to impose on the Administrative Agent duties or obligations other than those expressly provided for herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the terms “Agent”, “Administrative Agent”, “agent” and similar terms in the Loan Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead, use of such terms is merely a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. The Administrative Agent shall deliver to each Lender, promptly upon receipt thereof by the Administrative Agent, copies of each of the financial statements, certificates, notices and other documents delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Article IX. that the Borrowers are not otherwise required to deliver directly to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will furnish to any Lender, upon the request of such Lender, a copy (or, where appropriate, an original) of any document, instrument, agreement, certificate or notice furnished to the Administrative Agent by any Borrower, any Loan Party or any other Affiliate of the Company, pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document not already delivered to such Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any such other Loan Document. As to any matters not expressly provided for by the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of any of the Obligations), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders if explicitly required under any other provision of this Agreement), and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and all holders of any of the Obligations; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or Applicable Law. Not in limitation of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may exercise any right or remedy it or the Lenders may have under any Loan Document upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default unless the Requisite Lenders have directed the Administrative Agent otherwise. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Requisite Lenders, or where applicable, all the Lenders. The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to release any Guarantor from the Guaranty (i) in the case of a Subsidiary Guarantor, upon satisfaction of the conditions to release set forth in Section 8.14. or Section 8.15.; (ii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Requisite Lenders or all of the Lenders hereunder, as the required under the circumstances; or (iii) on the then latest Maturity Date. In connection with any such release of a Guarantor pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by each Lender to) execute and deliver to any Loan Party, at such Loan Party’s expense, all documents that such Loan Party shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release (any execution and delivery of such documents being without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent).
155
Bank of America shall have the same rights and powers as a Lender, a Specified Derivatives Provider or a Specified Cash Management Bank, as the case may be, under this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Specified Derivatives Contract or any Specified Cash Management Agreement, as the case may be, as any other Lender, Specified Derivatives Provider or any Specified Cash Management Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent; and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include Bank of America in each case in its individual capacity. Bank of America and its Affiliates may each accept deposits from, maintain deposits or credit balances for, invest in, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, serve as financial advisor to, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrowers, any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate thereof as if it were any other bank and without any duty to account therefor to the other Lenders, any Specified Derivatives Providers or any Specified Cash Management Banks. Further, the Administrative Agent and any Affiliate may accept fees and other consideration from the Loan Parties for services in connection with this Agreement, any Specified Derivatives Contract or any Specified Cash Management Agreement, or otherwise without having to account for the same to the other Lenders, any Specified Derivatives Providers or any Specified Cash Management Banks. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Bank of America or its Affiliates may receive information regarding the Company, other Loan Parties, other Subsidiaries and other Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Person) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them.
All communications from the Administrative Agent to any Lender requesting such Lender’s determination, consent, approval or disapproval (a) shall be given in the form of a written notice to such Lender, (b) shall be accompanied by a description of the matter or issue as to which such determination, approval, consent or disapproval is requested, or shall advise such Lender where information, if any, regarding such matter or issue may be inspected, or shall otherwise describe the matter or issue to be resolved and (c) shall include, if reasonably requested by such Lender and to the extent not previously provided to such Lender, written materials and a summary of all oral information provided to the Administrative Agent by the Borrowers in respect of the matter or issue to be resolved.
The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or a Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing with reasonable specificity such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” If any Lender (excluding the Lender which is also serving as the Administrative Agent) becomes aware of any Default or Event of Default, it shall promptly send to the Administrative Agent such a “notice of default”; provided, a Lender’s failure to provide such a “notice of default” to the Administrative Agent shall not result in any liability of such Lender to any other party to any of the Loan
156
Documents. Further, if the Administrative Agent receives such a “notice of default,” the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except for its or their own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein or therein as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (including its own counsel or counsel for the Borrowers or any other Loan Party), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties: (a) makes any warranty or representation to any Lender or any other Person or shall be responsible to any Lender or any other Person for any statement, warranty or representation made or deemed made by any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (b) shall have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent under this Agreement or any Loan Document on the part of any Borrower or other Persons or inspect the property, books or records of any Borrower or any other Person; (c) shall be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto or any collateral covered thereby or the perfection or priority of any Lien in favor of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders in any such collateral; (d) shall have any liability in respect of any recitals, statements, certifications, representations or warranties contained in any of the Loan Documents or any other document, instrument, agreement, certificate or statement delivered in connection therewith; and (e) shall incur any liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telephone or electronic mail) believed by it to be genuine and signed, sent or given by the proper party or parties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under the Loan Documents by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in the selection of such agent or attorney-in-fact as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment.
To the extent that the Borrowers for any reason fail to indefeasibly pay any amount required under Section 13.2. or Section 13.10. to be paid by them to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s respective Pro Rata Share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought based on each Lender’s share of the Total Credit Exposure
157
at such time, or if the Total Credit Exposure has been reduced to zero, then based on such Lender’s share of the Total Credit Exposure immediately prior to such reduction) of such unpaid amount (including any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such Lender); provided, that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in connection with such capacity. The agreements in this Section 12.6. shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and the termination of this Agreement. If the Borrowers shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for any such unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment following payment by any Lender to the Administrative Agent in respect of such unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment pursuant to this Section 12.6., the Administrative Agent shall share such reimbursement on a ratable basis with each Lender making any such payment.
Each of the Lenders expressly acknowledges and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties has made any representations or warranties to such Lender and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrowers, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary or Affiliate, shall be deemed to constitute any such representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each of the Lenders acknowledges that it has made its own credit and legal analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the transaction contemplated hereby, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Administrative Agent, or any of their respective Related Parties, and based on the financial statements of the Company, the other Loan Parties, the other Subsidiaries and other Affiliates, and inquiries of such Persons, its independent due diligence of the business and affairs of the Company, the other Loan Parties, the other Subsidiaries and other Persons, its review of the Loan Documents, the legal opinions required to be delivered to it hereunder, the advice of its own counsel and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate. Each of the Lenders also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Administrative Agent or any of their respective Related Parties, and based on such review, advice, documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under the Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by the Borrowers or any other Loan Party of the Loan Documents or any other document referred to or provided for therein or to inspect the properties or books of, or make any other investigation of, the Borrowers, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrowers, any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate thereof which may come into possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties. Each of the Lenders acknowledges that the Administrative Agent’s legal counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
158
Agreement is only acting as counsel to the Administrative Agent and is not acting as counsel to any Lender.
The Administrative Agent may resign at any time as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Company. The Administrative Agent may be removed as Administrative Agent by all of the Lenders (other than the Lender then acting as Administrative Agent) and, provided no Default or Event of Default exists, the Company, upon 30 days’ prior written notice if the Administrative Agent (i) is found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment to have committed gross negligence or willful misconduct in the course of performing its duties hereunder or (ii) has become or is insolvent or has become the subject of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, or has had a receiver, conservator, trustee or custodian appointed for it, or has taken any action in furtherance of, or indicating its consent to, approval of or acquiescence in any such proceeding or appointment. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent which appointment shall, provided no Default or Event of Default exists, be subject to the Company’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, and shall have accepted such appointment, within thirty (30) days after the current Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the current Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a Lender, if any Lender shall be willing to serve, and otherwise shall be an Eligible Assignee; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Company and the Lenders that no Lender has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made to each Lender directly, until such time as a successor Administrative Agent has been appointed as provided for above in this Section; provided, further, that such Lenders so acting directly shall be and be deemed to be protected by all indemnities and other provisions herein for the benefit and protection of the Administrative Agent as if each such Lender were itself the Administrative Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the current Administrative Agent, and the current Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. After any Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article XII. shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent may assign its rights and duties under the Loan Documents to any of its Affiliates by giving the Company and each Lender prior written notice.
The Syndication Agent, in such capacity, assumes no responsibility or obligation hereunder, including, without limitation, for servicing, enforcement or collection of any of the
159
Loans, nor any duties as an agent hereunder for the Lenders. The title given to the Syndication Agent is solely honorific and imply no fiduciary responsibility on the part of the Syndication Agent to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Borrower or any other Loan Party and the use of such title does not impose on the Syndication Agent any duties or obligations greater than those of any other Lender or entitle the Syndication Agent to any rights other than those to which any Lender is entitled.
No Specified Derivatives Provider or Specified Cash Management Bank that obtains the benefits of Section 11.4. by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Loan Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of any Loan Document other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article XII. to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Specified Derivatives Contracts and Specified Cash Management Agreements unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Specified Derivatives Contracts and Specified Cash Management Agreements, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Specified Derivatives Provider or Specified Cash Management Bank, as the case may be.
(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
160
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.
and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the
161
making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 3.5., 13.2. and 13.10.
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.
The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Requisite Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations (including accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Secured 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 of the United States, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, or any similar laws in any other jurisdictions to which a Loan Party is subject, (b) at any other sale or 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 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 would 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) in the asset or assets so purchased (or in the Equity Interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are used to consummate such purchase). In connection with any such bid (i) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles to make a bid, (ii) 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 the vote of the Requisite Lenders, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Requisite Lenders contained in Section 13.7.(b)), (iii) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to assign the relevant Obligations to any such acquisition vehicle pro rata by the Lenders, as a result of which each of the Lenders shall be deemed to have received a pro rata portion of any Equity Interests and/or debt instruments issued by such an acquisition vehicle on account of the assignment of the Obligations to be credit bid, all without the need for any Secured Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (iv) 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 debt credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Lenders pro rata and the Equity Interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of the
162
Obligations that had been assigned to the acquisition vehicle shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action.
Without limitation of any other provision in this Agreement, if at any time the Administrative Agent makes a payment hereunder in error to any Lender, whether or not in respect of an Obligation due and owing by any Borrower at such time, where such payment is a Rescindable Amount, then in any such event, each Lender receiving a Rescindable Amount severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount received by such Lender in immediately available funds in the currency so received, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such Rescindable Amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. Each Lender irrevocably waives any and all defenses, including any “discharge for value” (under which a creditor might otherwise claim a right to retain funds mistakenly paid by a third party in respect of a debt owed by another) or similar defense to its obligation to return any Rescindable Amount. The Administrative Agent shall inform each Lender promptly upon determining that any payment made to such Lender comprised, in whole or in part, a Rescindable Amount.

Failure of a Person designated to receive a copy of a notice to receive such copy shall not affect the validity of notice properly given to another Person.

165
The Borrowers agree (a) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers for all of its and their reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, any of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, in respect of any notice given by the Borrower Representative under Section 2.17.(a), whether or not the requested increase is actually effected), and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, including the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel to the Administrative Agent and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent in connection with the use of IntraLinks, SyndTrak or other similar information transmission systems in connection with the Loan Documents and of the Administrative Agent in connection with the review of Properties for inclusion in the calculation of Unencumbered Asset Value, including the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel to the Administrative Agent relating to all such activities, (b) [intentionally omitted], (c) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for all their costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under the Loan Documents and the Fee Letter, including the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, disbursements and other charges of their respective counsel
166
and (d) to the extent not already covered by any of the preceding subsections, to pay or reimburse the fees and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent, any Arranger and any Lender incurred in connection with the representation of the Administrative Agent or such Lender in any matter relating to or arising out of any bankruptcy or other proceeding of the type described in Sections 11.1.(e) or 11.1.(f), including, without limitation, (i) any motion for relief from any stay or similar order, (ii) the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of any document relating to the Obligations and (iii) the negotiation and preparation of any debtor in possession financing or any plan of reorganization of any Borrower or any other Loan Party, whether proposed by such Borrower, such Loan Party, the Lenders or any other Person, and whether such fees and expenses are incurred prior to, during or after the commencement of such proceeding or the confirmation or conclusion of any such proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligation to reimburse the Arrangers and the Lenders for fees and expenses of counsel in connection with the matters described in clauses (a), (c) and (d) above shall be limited to the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, disbursements and other charges of one counsel to the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders and, if reasonably necessary, a single local counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in each relevant jurisdiction and with respect to each relevant specialty, and in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, one additional counsel in each relevant jurisdiction to the affected Lender Party similarly situated.

The Company shall pay any and all stamp, excise, intangible, registration and similar taxes or governmental charges and shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay in the payment or omission to pay any such taxes or charges, which may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution, delivery, recording, performance or enforcement of this Agreement, the Notes and any of the other Loan Documents, the amendment, supplement, modification or waiver of or consent under this Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents or the perfection of any rights or Liens under this Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents.
Subject to Section 3.3. and in addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under Applicable Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Participant is hereby authorized by the Company, at any time or from time to time while an Event of Default exists, without prior notice to the Parent, any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, but in the case of a Lender or a Participant subject to receipt of the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Requisite Lenders exercised in their sole discretion, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Administrative Agent, such Lender, such Participant or any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor against and on account of any of the Obligations, irrespective of whether or not any or all of the Loans and all other Obligations have been declared to be, or have otherwise
167
become, due and payable as permitted by Section 11.2., and although such Obligations shall be contingent or unmatured. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, if any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.9. and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. Promptly following any such set-off, the Administrative Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Company thereof and of the application of such set-off, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not invalidate such set-off or the application thereof.
168
(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that none of the Parent, the Company, any Borrower or any other Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of the immediately following subsection (b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section 13.6. or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection (e) of this Section 13.6.

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Type of Loan or Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate Tranches on a non-rata basis.

The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $4,500 (or $7,500 (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may agree, such lesser amount not to be less than $4,500 in any event) in the event that such transferor Lender is a Defaulting Lender) for each assignment (which fee the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive), and the assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. If requested by the transferor Lender or the assignee, upon the consummation of any assignment, the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent, and the Borrower Representative shall make appropriate arrangements so that (i) to the extent requested by the assignee or transferor Lender, new Notes are issued to the assignee and such transferor Lender, as appropriate and (ii) any Notes held by the transferor Lender are promptly returned to the Borrower Representative for cancellation (and, to the extent not so returned, the Borrowers shall be entitled to receive a customary indemnity agreement of the type described in Section 2.12.(c)(ii)(A) from such transferor Lender).
171
(v) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to (A) the Company or any of the Company’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries or (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or to any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B).
(vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural person or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person.
(vii) Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent and each Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under Applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.
(viii) No Assignments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no Lender (other than Bank of America) may assign or conduct any secondary sale of its Commitments on or prior to the Funding Date, and thereafter may not transfer, assign or sell any of its Commitments until the earlier of (i) the ninetieth (90th) day following the Closing Date and (ii) such other date that the primary syndication of the Commitments is completed (as determined by the Lead Arranger); provided, however, that (x) any assignments by Bank of America during the foregoing period shall be subject to Section 13.6.(b)(iii) and (y) other than with the consent of the Borrower Representative, no such assignment to an Affiliate of any Lender or an Approved Fund on or prior to the Funding Date will relieve such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder, including the obligation of such Lender to make Loans under Section 2.02. on the Funding Date if the conditions set forth in Section 6.1.(II) are satisfied, unless and until such Affiliate or Approved Fund shall have funded the portion of such Lender’s Commitments so assigned on the Funding Date.
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the immediately following subsection (c), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and
172
obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 5.4., 13.2. and 13.10. and the other provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as provided in Section 13.11. with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph 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 subsection (d) of this Section 13.6.
(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at the Principal Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than any Person described in Sections 13.6.(b)(v) or (vi)) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in Section 13.4. or as otherwise expressly stated herein, no Participant shall have any rights or benefits under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to (x) extend the date on which any scheduled payment of principal on the Loans or portions thereof owing to such Lender is to be made, (y) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon (other than a waiver of default interest and changes in calculation of the Leverage Ratio that may indirectly affect pricing) or (z) release all or substantially all of the Collateral (except as contemplated by Section 8.14. or 8.15.) or all or substantially all of the Guarantors from their obligations under the Guaranty (except as contemplated by Section 8.14. or 8.15.), in each case, as applicable to that portion of such Lender’s
173
rights and/or obligations that are subject to the participation. Each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.10., 5.1. and 5.4. (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 3.10.(g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.10.(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 3.9.(h) or 5.6. as if it were an assignee under subsection (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.10. or 5.1., with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Regulatory Change that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participations. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower Representative’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower Representative to effectuate the provisions of Section 3.9.(h) or 5.6. with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 13.4. as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 3.3. as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(e) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
(f) No Registration. Each Lender agrees that, without the prior written consent of each Borrower and the Administrative Agent, it will not make any assignment hereunder in any manner or under any circumstances that would require registration or qualification of, or filings in respect of, any Loan or Note under the Securities Act or any other securities laws of the United States of America or of any other jurisdiction.
(g) [Intentionally Omitted]
(h) USA Patriot Act Notice; Compliance. In order for the Administrative Agent to comply with “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including without
174
limitation, the Patriot Act, prior to any Lender that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States of America becoming a party hereto, the Administrative Agent may request, and such Lender shall provide to the Administrative Agent, its name, address, tax identification number and/or such other identification information as shall be necessary for the Administrative Agent to comply with federal law.
175
176
177
The relationship between the Borrowers, on the one hand, and the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, on the other hand, shall be solely that of borrower and lender. The Administrative Agent, each Lender and their Affiliates may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Loan Parties, their stockholders and partners and/or their Affiliates. No Lender Party shall have any fiduciary responsibilities to any Borrower or any other Loan Party and no provision in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, and no course of dealing between or among any of the parties hereto, shall be deemed to create any fiduciary duty owing by the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party to any Lender, any Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party. No Lender Party undertakes any responsibility to any Borrower to review or inform such Borrower of any matter in connection with any phase of such Borrower’s business or operations.
Except as otherwise provided by Applicable Law, each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees that it shall not disclose and shall treat confidentially all Information (as defined below) furnished by the Borrowers or the Parent or on their behalf but in any event may make disclosure: (a) to any of their respective Affiliates and their other Related Parties solely in
178
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby who are informed of the confidential nature of such information and are or have been advised of their obligation to keep information of this type confidential in accordance with the terms of this Section (and each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be responsible for its respective Affiliates’ and Related Parties’ compliance with this Section); (b) as reasonably requested by any bona fide Eligible Assignee, Participant or other permitted transferee or any of their Affiliates in connection with the contemplated transfer of any Commitment, Loan or participations therein as permitted hereunder (provided they shall agree to keep such information confidential in accordance with the terms of this Section); (c) to any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivatives transaction relating to any Borrower or any of their Affiliates and its obligations (provided they shall agree to keep such information confidential in accordance with the terms of this Section); (d) as required or requested by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof, pursuant to the order of any court or administrative agency pursuant to legal process or in connection with any pending legal or administrative proceedings or as otherwise required by Applicable Law or compulsory legal process (in which case, such Person shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law and reasonably practicable, inform the Company promptly thereof except with respect to any audit or examination conducted by bank accountants or any Governmental Authority exercising routine examination, oversight or regulatory review); (e) to the Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s independent auditors and other professional advisors and other experts or agents or representatives solely in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby who are informed of the confidential nature of such information and are or have been advised of their obligation to keep information of this type confidential in accordance with the terms of this Section (and each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be responsible for its respective Affiliates’ compliance with this Section); (f) if an Event of Default exists, to any other Person, in connection with the exercise by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders (or Specified Derivatives Provider or Specified Cash Management Bank) of rights hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents (or under any Specified Derivatives Contract or Specified Cash Management Agreement) or any action or proceeding relating to any Loan Documents (or any Specified Derivatives Contract or Specified Cash Management Agreement) or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder; (g) to the extent such information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of improper disclosure or a breach of this Section by such Person or any of its Affiliates or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrowers, the Parent or any of their Affiliates that is not to such Person’s knowledge subject to confidentiality obligations to the Borrowers, the Parent or any of their Affiliates; (h) to the extent requested by, or required to be disclosed to, any nationally recognized rating agency or regulatory or similar authority (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners) having or purporting to have jurisdiction over it or any of its Affiliates, their business or operations (in which case, such Person shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law and reasonably practicable, inform the Company promptly thereof prior to disclosure except with respect to any audit or examination conducted by any governmental bank regulatory authority exercising examination or regulatory authority); (i) to bank trade publications, such information to consist of deal terms and other information customarily found in such publications; (j) to any other party hereto; (k) to the extent that such information is independently developed by such Person; (l) for purposes of establishing a “due diligence” defense; (m) to enforce their respective rights hereunder or under the Fee Letter; and (n) with the consent of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
179
the Administrative Agent and each Lender may disclose any such confidential information, without notice to any Borrower or any other Loan Party, to Governmental Authorities in connection with any regulatory examination of the Administrative Agent or such Lender or in accordance with the regulatory compliance policy of the Administrative Agent or such Lender. As used in this Section, the term “Information” means all information received from any Borrower, any other Loan Party, any other Subsidiary or Affiliate relating to any Loan Party or any of their respective businesses pursuant to the requirements of the Administrative Agent or otherwise in connection with the Loan Documents, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Borrower, any other Loan Party, any other Subsidiary or any Affiliate.
180
References in this Section 13.10. to “Lender” or “Lenders” shall be deemed to include such Persons (and their Affiliates) in their capacity as Specified Derivatives Providers and Specified Cash Management Banks, as applicable.
At such time as (a) all of the Commitments have been terminated, (b) none of the Lenders is obligated any longer under this Agreement to make any Loans and (c) all Obligations (other
181
than obligations which survive as hereafter provided in this Section 13.11. and contingent indemnification obligations that have not been asserted) have been paid and satisfied in full, this Agreement shall terminate. Promptly following such termination, each Lender shall promptly return to the Borrower Representative any Note issued to such Lender. The provisions of Sections 3.10., 5.1., 5.4. and 13.5., the indemnities to which the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are entitled under Sections 12.6., 13.2., 13.10. and any other provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, shall continue in full force and effect and shall protect the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (i) notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, or of the other Loan Documents, against events arising after such termination as well as before and (ii) at all times after any such party ceases to be a party to this Agreement with respect to all matters and events existing on or prior to the date such party ceased to be a party to this Agreement. Upon the Company’s request, the Administrative Agent agrees to deliver to the Company, at the Company’s sole cost and expense, written confirmation of the foregoing termination.
If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision shall be deemed severed from the Loan Documents, and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall remain in full force as though the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had never been part of the Loan Documents.
THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS EXECUTED, AND TO BE FULLY PERFORMED, IN SUCH STATE.
To facilitate execution, this Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements may be executed in any number of counterparts as may be convenient or required (which may be effectively delivered by facsimile, in portable document format (“PDF”) or other similar electronic means). It shall not be necessary that the signature of, or on behalf of, each party, or that the signature of all persons required to bind any party, appear on each counterpart. All counterparts shall collectively constitute a single document. It shall not be necessary in making proof of this document to produce or account for more than a single counterpart containing the respective signatures of, or on behalf of, each of the parties hereto.
In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), each of the Parent and the Company acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (i)(A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Parent, the Company, each other Loan Party and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers, on the other hand, (B) each of the Parent,
182
the Company, and the other Loan Parties has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) the Parent, the Company and each other Loan Party is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii)(A) the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Arranger is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Parent, the Company, any other Loan Party, or any of their respective Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) neither the Administrative Agent, any Lender nor any Arranger has any obligation to the Parent, the Company, any other Loan Party, or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Arranger and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Parent, the Company, the other Loan Parties, and their respective Affiliates, and neither the Administrative Agent, any Lender nor any Arranger has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Parent, the Company, any other Loan Party, or any of their respective Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each of the Parent, the Company, and the other Loan Parties hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Arranger with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.
The obligations of the Company to direct or prohibit the taking of certain actions by the other Loan Parties and Subsidiaries as specified herein shall be absolute and not subject to any defense the Company may have that the Company does not control such Loan Parties or Subsidiaries.
All covenants hereunder shall be given in any jurisdiction independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or be otherwise within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.
None of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or any of their respective Related Parties shall have any liability with respect to, and each Borrower hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue any of them upon, any claim for any special, indirect, incidental, or consequential or punitive damages suffered or incurred by any Borrower in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or the Fee Letters, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Each Borrower hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any of the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, or agents for punitive damages in respect of any claim in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, the Fee Letter, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or financed hereby.
183
This Agreement, the Notes, the other Loan Documents and the Fee Letter embody the final, entire agreement among the parties hereto and supersede any and all prior commitments, agreements, representations, and understandings, whether written or oral, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and may not be contradicted or varied by evidence of prior, contemporaneous, or subsequent oral agreements or discussions of the parties hereto. To the extent any term of this Agreement is inconsistent with a term of any other Loan Document to which the parties of this Agreement are party, the term of this Agreement shall control to the extent of such inconsistency. Without limitation of the foregoing: THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE FEE LETTER REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR. CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL ARGUMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES.
The Administrative Agent, each Borrower and each Lender acknowledge that each of them has had the benefit of legal counsel of its own choice and has been afforded an opportunity to review this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with its legal counsel and that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be construed as if jointly drafted by the Administrative Agent, each Borrower and each Lender.
The paragraph and section headings in this Agreement are provided for convenience of reference only and shall not affect its construction or interpretation.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
184
Unless the Parent becomes a Guarantor pursuant to Section 8.17.(b) and subject to the limitations described below in this Section 13.23., notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, the Obligations of the Loan Parties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are non-recourse to the Parent or any Parent Entity as a result of its capacity as a member of the Company and as a result of its having joined in the execution of this Agreement; provided that the foregoing shall not limit any recourse to the Loan Parties and their respective assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired. The Lender Parties, by such other Persons’ acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, agree that, unless the Parent has become a Guarantor pursuant to Section 8.17.(b), (x) the Parent and the Parent Entities shall not be liable for any of the Obligations of the Loan Parties under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents as a result of its status as a member of the Company or otherwise and (y) the Parent is joining in the execution of this Agreement solely for the limited purpose of being bound by the terms of the Sections of this Agreement expressly applicable to the Parent, including all covenants made by the Parent and the Parent Entities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) if an Event of Default occurs, nothing in this Section 13.23. shall in any way prevent or hinder any Lender Party in the pursuit or enforcement of any right, remedy, or judgment against the Loan Parties or any of their respective assets and (b) the Parent shall be fully liable to the Lender Parties for any breach by the Parent of any of Section 8.8.(b), 8.12., 8.13., 8.16., 8.17. or 13.24. and otherwise to the same extent that Parent would be liable absent the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.23. for fraud or willful misrepresentation or any other unlawful acts by the Company, any Borrower, the Parent, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries (to the full extent of losses suffered by any Lender Party by reason of such fraud or willful misrepresentation or such other unlawful acts).
The Parent hereby expressly covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other Lender Parties that all obligations and liabilities of any other Loan Party or Subsidiary to the Parent of whatever description, including without limitation, all intercompany Indebtedness or receivables of the Parent from any other Loan Party or Subsidiary (collectively, the “Junior Claims”) shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to all Obligations hereunder. During the continuance of an Event of Default, the Parent shall not accept any direct or indirect payment (in cash, property or securities, by setoff or otherwise) from any Loan Party or Subsidiary on account of or in any manner in respect of any Junior Claim until all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full.
185
To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any Derivatives Contract or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”, and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows 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):
“BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.
“Covered Entity” means any of the following: (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).
“Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.
186
“QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).
In order to induce the Lenders to extend credit to the other Borrowers hereunder, but subject to the last sentence of this Article XIV, each Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the payment when and as due of the Obligations of such other Borrowers. Each Borrower further agrees that the due and punctual payment of such Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon its guarantee hereunder notwithstanding any such extension or renewal of any such Obligation.
Each Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally jointly and severally agrees that if any obligation guaranteed by it is or becomes unenforceable, invalid or illegal, it will, as an independent and primary obligation, indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders immediately on demand against any cost, loss or liability they incur as a result of any Borrower not paying any amount which would, but for such unenforceability, invalidity or illegality, have been payable by it under this Article XIV on the date when it would have been due (but so that the amount payable by a Borrower under this indemnity will not exceed the amount it would have had to pay under this Article XIV if the amount claimed had been recoverable on the basis of a guarantee).
Each Borrower waives presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to any Borrower of any of the Obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of its obligations and notice of protest for nonpayment. The obligations of each Borrower hereunder shall not be affected by (a) the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against any Borrower under the provisions of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise; (b) any extension or renewal of any of the Obligations; (c) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or release from, any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement, or any other Loan Document or agreement; (d) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of any of the Obligations; (e) the failure of the Administrative Agent to take any steps to perfect and maintain any security interest in, or to preserve any rights to, any security or collateral for the Obligations, if any; (f) any change in the corporate, partnership or other existence, structure or ownership of any Borrower or any other guarantor of any of the Obligations; (g) the enforceability or validity of the Obligations or any part thereof or the genuineness, enforceability or validity of any agreement relating thereto or with respect to any collateral securing the Obligations or any part thereof, or any other invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against any Loan Party or any other guarantor of any of the Obligations, for any reason related to this Agreement, any Specified Derivatives Contract, any Specified Cash Management Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any provision of applicable law, decree, order or regulation of any jurisdiction purporting to prohibit the payment by such Borrower or any other guarantor of the Obligations, of any of the Obligations or otherwise affecting any term of any of the Obligations; or (h) any other act, omission or delay to do any other act which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Borrower or otherwise operate as a discharge of a guarantor as a matter of law or equity or which would impair or eliminate any right of such Borrower to subrogation.
187
Each Borrower further agrees that its agreement hereunder constitutes a guarantee of payment when due (whether or not any bankruptcy or similar proceeding shall have stayed the accrual or collection of any of the Obligations or operated as a discharge thereof) and not merely of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in favor of any Borrower or any other Person.
The obligations of each Borrower hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, and shall not be subject to any defense or set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever, by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any of the Obligations, any impossibility in the performance of any of the Obligations or otherwise.
Each Borrower further agrees that its obligations hereunder shall constitute a continuing and irrevocable guarantee of all Obligations of such other Borrowers now or hereafter existing and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Obligation (including a payment effected through exercise of a right of setoff) is rescinded or is or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower or otherwise.
In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have at law or in equity against any Borrower by virtue hereof, upon the failure of any other Borrower to pay any Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, each Borrower hereby promises to and will, upon receipt of written demand by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in cash an amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of such Obligations then due, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon.
Upon payment by any Borrower of any sums as provided above, all rights of such Borrower against any Borrower arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinated and junior in right of payment to the prior payment in full in cash of all the Obligations owed by such Borrower to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders.
Nothing shall discharge or satisfy the liability of any Borrower hereunder except the full performance and payment of the Obligations.
Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Loan Party to honor all of its obligations under this Article XIV or the Guaranty (if any), as applicable, in respect of Specified Derivatives Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this paragraph for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this paragraph or otherwise under this Article XIV or the Guaranty (if any), as applicable, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Article XIV or the Guaranty (if any), as applicable, shall remain in full force and effect until a discharge of such Qualified ECP
188
Guarantor’s Obligations in accordance with the terms hereof and the other Loan Documents. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this paragraph constitute, and this paragraph shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

Park Hotels & Resorts Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2021 Results
TYSONS, VA (February 17, 2022) – Park Hotels & Resorts Inc. (“Park” or the “Company”) (NYSE: PK) today announced results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2021 and provided an operational update on COVID-19.
Fourth quarter financial highlights include:
Full-year financial highlights include:
Additional highlights for the year include:
1
Thomas J. Baltimore, Jr., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “I am extremely proud of our team as we navigated the ongoing challenges of COVID-19 during the past year. On the operations side, we continued to adapt our operating model to maximize efficiencies while also working with our operating partners to prioritize meaningful standards and amenities such as enhanced cleaning and limited face-to-face contact. We remained disciplined throughout the year and reopened six hotels when it was profitable to do so, which allowed us to generate positive Hotel Adjusted EBITDA for the third consecutive quarter and positive Adjusted FFO for the second consecutive quarter. Additionally, we have worked diligently to de-lever our balance sheet through assets sales totaling $477 million in gross proceeds during 2021 and maintain financial flexibility to readily execute on our long-term strategies. As we think about our current operating environment, we continue to be encouraged by the strong fundamentals in the leisure segment, particularly in Hawaii, Miami and Key West. While we expect some headwinds in the first quarter of 2022 resulting from group cancellations and cautious business travel sentiment due to the Omicron variant, we anticipate a more broad-based recovery across our industry and expect increasing demand trends throughout the year as groups look to rebook their long-postponed events, business travel ramps up and international travel resumes. With our diversified portfolio and current liquidity of nearly $1.6 billion, Park remains incredibly well positioned to capitalize on recovery fundamentals across all demand segments as well as accretive internal and external growth opportunities that fit Park’s strategic profile.”

October 2021 and subsequent periods include the New York Hilton Midtown which reopened on October 4, 2021. |
For the fourth quarter of 2021, Park’s portfolio generated positive Hotel Adjusted EBITDA for the third consecutive quarter with 37 of 46 of Park’s open consolidated hotels exceeding break-even levels.
During 2021, domestic leisure transient demand grew significantly compared to 2020 as COVID-19 vaccinations rates increased and domestic restrictions eased, despite some disruption from virus variants; however, restrictions on international travel remained in place for the majority of the year. The Rooms Revenue mix for each of the three months and years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 for the 46 consolidated hotels open for substantially all of the fourth quarter of 2021 or 40 consolidated hotels open during the entirety of 2021 were as follows:

Park saw a decrease in demand in January 2022 and month-to-date in February 2022 due to the rapid rise in COVID-19 cases from the Omicron variant, disruptions throughout the travel industry and restrictions being re-imposed by an increasing number of jurisdictions. At this time, Park expects that demand for only the first quarter of 2022 will be affected, with approximately $30 million of first quarter 2022 group business cancelled, of which most has been replaced with incremental new bookings during the balance of 2022.
While the operating environment remains very fluid due to rapidly changing trends from the Omicron variant, Park currently expects to see a return of group demand beginning in the second quarter of 2022 in select markets as groups continue to push out meetings originally scheduled for the third and fourth quarters of 2021 and the first quarter of 2022. Group bookings for 2022 have grown by approximately 239,000 room nights, or nearly 28%, since September 30, 2020, with acceleration following the approval of COVID-19 vaccines for emergency use in November 2020. As of December 31, 2021, group bookings for 2022 were approximately 62% of what 2019 group bookings were as of December 31, 2018, a slight decrease from last quarter due to cancellations in Q1 2022 and a slowdown in bookings resulting from concerns over the Omicron variant. Despite these developments, 2022 average group rates on the books remain strong, equaling 2019 average group rates on the books at December 31, 2018. In addition, as of December 31, 2021, group bookings for 2023 are 73% of what 2019 group bookings were as of December 31, 2017, and average group rates were strong for 2023, exceeding 2019 average group rates on the books at December 31, 2017.
Highlights for Park's consolidated hotels owned as of February 17, 2022 in each of the Company’s key markets, segmented between leisure and other markets, are as follows:

Balance Sheet and Liquidity
Park and its hotel managers have taken several proactive steps to reduce the Company's burn rate, increase liquidity and mitigate the effects of COVID-19 on its business, including reducing labor and other operating expenses and cutting capital expenditures for 2021 to approximately $44 million for maintenance projects. As a result of these measures, coupled with continued leisure demand and the continued distribution of COVID-19 vaccines, Park's portfolio generated positive Hotel Adjusted EBITDA for the past three consecutive quarters and has generated positive Adjusted FFO for the second consecutive quarter.
Park’s Net Debt as of December 31, 2021 was $4.2 billion. Utilizing the net proceeds from the issuance of the 2029 Senior Secured Notes and the sales of five hotels during 2021 to repay outstanding debt, the Company has just $78 million outstanding on its sole remaining corporate term loan. Only 2% of Park’s total outstanding debt matures in 2022, and the weighted average maturity of Park’s consolidated debt is 4.7 years. Park's current liquidity is nearly $1.6 billion, including $901 million of available capacity under the Company's Revolver.
In February 2022, Park amended its credit and term loan facilities to extend the waiver period for the testing of the financial covenants to the date the financial statements are delivered for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 (except for the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, which waiver period for such covenant will end as of the date the financial statements are delivered for the quarter ended June 30, 2022), in each case, unless Park elects an earlier date, and to adjust the required ratio levels of particular financial covenants after such waiver periods. As part of the amendment process, Park (i) extended the temporary periods for which calculation of certain financial covenants are annualized once quarterly testing of financial covenants resumes, (ii) extended the minimum liquidity covenant of $200 million through March 2023, (iii) obtained the ability to repurchase up to $250 million of shares as long as the Revolver balance is $0, (iv) increased the amount of non-recourse debt allowed to be incurred during the waiver period to $500 million from $350 million, (v) obtained the ability during the waiver period to voluntarily prepay certain debt maturing in 2022 and 2023, (vi) removed the limitation applied during the waiver period on capital expenditures within the portfolio, (vii) increased the ability during the waiver period to acquire investments to $1 billion from $200 million, with an option to expand to $1.5 billion with a corresponding increase of the minimum liquidity covenant to $300 million, and (viii) removed any restrictions on asset sales that applied during the waiver period. In addition, Park amended the mandatory prepayment requirements that apply during the waiver period to, among other things, only require mandatory repayments from specified events if and to the extent the Revolver balance exceeds $600 million (and no prepayment of the 2019 Term Facility being required).
Park had the following debt outstanding as of December 31, 2021:
6
(1) |
The loan matures in August 2042 but is callable by the lender beginning August 2022. |
(2) |
In November 2021, Park modified the $75 million mortgage loan secured by the W Chicago City Center to require interest only payments until its maturity date. |
(3) |
Calculated on a weighted average basis. |
(4) |
In May 2020, Park amended its credit and term loan facilities to add a LIBOR floor of 25 basis points. |
(5) |
In September 2020, Park increased its aggregate commitments under the Revolver by $75 million to $1.075 billion and extended the maturity date with respect to $901 million of the aggregate commitments for two years to December 2023, including all $75 million of the increased Revolver commitments. The remaining $174 million of commitments under the Revolver matured in December 2021. |
(6) |
The outstanding balance of the 2019 Term Facility is hedged by an interest rate swap with a fixed interest rate of 1.86% per annum maturing in April 2022. |
(7) |
Excludes $225 million of Park’s share of debt of its unconsolidated joint ventures. |
Dividends
In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, Park suspended dividend payments following the payment of its first quarter 2020 dividend. However, Park is currently evaluating the reinstatement of a quarterly cash dividend of $0.01 per share, subject to approval by its Board of Directors.
Full-Year 2022 Outlook
Given the continued economic uncertainty, travel restrictions and rapidly changing circumstances related to the COVID-19 pandemic, Park is not providing an outlook for full-year 2022 at this time.
The Company’s ability to predict future operating results remains significantly impacted by the current COVID-19 pandemic. Park expects that the trends affecting the economy will continue to depress hotel operating results across the portfolio. While recent trends have shown signs of improvement, the economic environment continues to lack sufficient clarity at this time to provide accurate guidance.
Supplemental Disclosures
In conjunction with this release, Park has furnished a financial supplement with additional disclosures on its website. Visit www.pkhotelsandresorts.com for more information. Park has no obligation to update any of the information provided to conform to actual results or changes in Park’s portfolio, capital structure or future expectations.
Environmental, Social and Governance
In November 2021, Park published its 2021 Annual Corporate Responsibility Report ("CR Report"), which includes Global Reporting Initiative and Sustainability Accounting Standards Board indices as well as its first Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures report. The 2021 CR Report details Park's energy, carbon, water and waste metrics in 2020 and also highlights the Company’s enhanced sustainability and corporate responsibility efforts throughout the pandemic, including the efforts related to Park’s Diversity and Inclusion Steering Committee. Park also participated in the 2021 Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark ("GRESB") assessment for the second consecutive year, improving its score and ranking in the top 35% of all GRESB participant companies. Additionally, Park was recognized by Newsweek as one of America's Most Responsible Companies for the third consecutive year in 2022, ranking in the top third of all selected companies.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements related to Park’s current expectations regarding the performance of its business, financial results, liquidity and capital

resources, including the expected dates for reopening the Company’s hotels and dates that its hotels will break even or achieve positive Hotel Adjusted EBITDA, the impact to the Company's business and financial condition and that of its hotel management companies, measures being taken in response to COVID-19, the effects of competition and the effects of future legislation or regulations, the expected completion of anticipated dispositions, the declaration and payment of future dividends and other non-historical statements. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts, and in some cases, can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as the words “outlook,” “believes,” “expects,” “potential,” “continues,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “seeks,” “projects,” “predicts,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” “hopes” or the negative version of these words or other comparable words. You should not rely on forward-looking statements since they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which are, in some cases, beyond the Company’s control and which could materially affect its results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, performance or future achievements or events. Currently, one of the most significant factors continues to be the adverse effect of COVID-19, including resurgences, on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and performance, its hotel management companies and its hotels’ tenants, and the global economy and financial markets. COVID-19 has significantly affected the Company’s business, and the extent to which COVID-19 continues to affect the Company, its hotel managers, tenants and guests at the Company’s hotels will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic, the actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its effect, the emergence of virus variants, the efficacy, availability and deployment of vaccinations and other treatments to combat COVID-19, including public adoption rates of COVID-19 vaccines, additional closures that may be mandated or advisable even after the reopening of the Company’s hotels, whether due to an increased number of COVID-19 cases or otherwise, and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures, among others. Moreover, investors are cautioned to interpret many of the risks identified in the risk factors included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 as being heightened as a result of the ongoing and numerous adverse effects of COVID-19.
Forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements. You should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements and Park urges investors to carefully review the disclosures Park makes concerning risk and uncertainties in Item 1A: “Risk Factors” in Park’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, as such factors may be updated from time to time in Park’s filings with the SEC, which are accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Except as required by law, Park undertakes no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Park presents certain non-GAAP financial measures in this press release, including Nareit FFO attributable to stockholders, Adjusted FFO attributable to stockholders, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel Adjusted EBITDA margin and Net debt. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered along with, but not as alternatives to, net income (loss) as a measure of its operating performance.

PARK HOTELS & RESORTS INC.
DEFINITIONS
Pro-forma
The Company presents certain data for its consolidated hotels on a pro-forma hotel basis as supplemental information for investors: Pro-forma Hotel Revenues, Pro-forma RevPAR, Pro-forma Total RevPAR, Pro-forma Occupancy, Pro-forma ADR, Pro-forma Hotel Adjusted EBITDA and Pro-forma Hotel Adjusted EBITDA Margin. The Company presents pro-forma hotel results to help the Company and its investors evaluate the ongoing operating performance of its hotels. The Company’s pro-forma metrics exclude results from property dispositions that have occurred through February 17, 2022 and include results from property acquisitions as though such acquisitions occurred on the earliest period presented.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel Adjusted EBITDA and Hotel Adjusted EBITDA margin
Earnings (loss) before interest expense, taxes and depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), presented herein, reflects net income (loss) excluding depreciation and amortization, interest income, interest expense, income taxes and interest expense, income tax and depreciation and amortization included in equity in earnings (losses) from investments in affiliates.
Adjusted EBITDA, presented herein, is calculated as EBITDA, as previously defined, further adjusted to exclude:
Hotel Adjusted EBITDA measures hotel-level results before debt service, depreciation and corporate expenses of the Company’s consolidated hotels, which excludes hotels owned by unconsolidated affiliates, and is a key measure of the Company’s profitability. The Company presents Hotel Adjusted EBITDA to help the Company and its investors evaluate the ongoing operating performance of the Company’s consolidated hotels.
Hotel Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as Hotel Adjusted EBITDA divided by total hotel revenue.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel Adjusted EBITDA and Hotel Adjusted EBITDA margin are not recognized terms under United States (“U.S.”) GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss) or other measures of financial performance or liquidity derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, the Company’s definitions of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel Adjusted EBITDA and Hotel Adjusted EBITDA margin may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
The Company believes that EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel Adjusted EBITDA and Hotel Adjusted EBITDA margin provide useful information to investors about the Company and its financial condition and results of operations for the following reasons: (i) EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel Adjusted EBITDA and Hotel Adjusted EBITDA margin are among the measures used by the Company’s management team to make day-to-day operating decisions and evaluate its operating performance between periods and between REITs by removing the effect of its capital structure (primarily interest expense) and asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization) from its operating results; and (ii) EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel Adjusted EBITDA and Hotel Adjusted EBITDA margin are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties as a common performance measure to compare results or estimate valuations across companies in the industry.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel Adjusted EBITDA and Hotel Adjusted EBITDA margin have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered either in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss) or other methods of analyzing the Company’s operating performance and results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Because of these limitations, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Hotel Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as discretionary cash available to the Company to reinvest in the growth of its business or as measures of cash that will be available to the Company to meet its obligations.
15
Nareit FFO attributable to stockholders, Adjusted FFO attributable to stockholders Nareit FFO per share - diluted and Adjusted FFO per share - diluted
Nareit FFO attributable to stockholders and Nareit FFO per diluted share (defined as set forth below) are presented herein as non-GAAP measures of the Company’s performance. The Company calculates funds from (used in) operations (“FFO”) attributable to stockholders for a given operating period in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“Nareit”), as net income (loss) attributable to stockholders (calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP), excluding depreciation and amortization, gains or losses on sales of assets, impairment, and the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles, plus adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures are calculated to reflect the Company’s pro rata share of the FFO of those entities on the same basis. As noted by Nareit in its December 2018 “Nareit Funds from Operations White Paper – 2018 Restatement,” since real estate values historically have risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors have considered presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves. For these reasons, Nareit adopted the FFO metric in order to promote an industry-wide measure of REIT operating performance. The Company believes Nareit FFO provides useful information to investors regarding its operating performance and can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between REITs. The Company’s presentation may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not define the terms in accordance with the current Nareit definition, or that interpret the current Nareit definition differently. The Company calculates Nareit FFO per diluted share as Nareit FFO divided by the number of fully diluted shares outstanding during a given operating period.
The Company also presents Adjusted FFO attributable to stockholders and Adjusted FFO per diluted share when evaluating its performance because management believes that the exclusion of certain additional items described below provides useful supplemental information to investors regarding the Company’s ongoing operating performance. Management historically has made the adjustments detailed below in evaluating its performance and in its annual budget process. Management believes that the presentation of Adjusted FFO provides useful supplemental information that is beneficial to an investor’s complete understanding of operating performance. The Company adjusts Nareit FFO attributable to stockholders for the following items, which may occur in any period, and refers to this measure as Adjusted FFO attributable to stockholders:
Net Debt
Net debt, presented herein, is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company uses to evaluate its financial leverage. Net debt is calculated as (i) long-term debt, including current maturities and excluding unamortized deferred financing costs; and (ii) the Company’s share of investments in affiliate debt, excluding unamortized deferred financing costs; reduced by (a) cash and cash equivalents; and (b) restricted cash and cash equivalents.
The Company believes Net debt provides useful information about its indebtedness to investors as it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to compare the indebtedness of companies. Net debt should not be considered as a substitute to debt presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Net debt may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure of other companies.
Occupancy
Occupancy represents the total number of room nights sold divided by the total number of room nights available at a hotel or group of hotels. Room nights available to guests have not been adjusted for suspended or reduced operations at certain of Park’s hotels as a result of COVID-19. Occupancy measures the utilization of the Company’s hotels’ available capacity. Management uses occupancy to gauge demand at a specific hotel or group of hotels in a given period. Occupancy levels also help management determine achievable Average Daily Rate (“ADR”) levels as demand for rooms increases or decreases.
Average Daily Rate
ADR (or rate) represents rooms revenue divided by total number of room nights sold in a given period. ADR measures average room price attained by a hotel and ADR trends provide useful information concerning the pricing environment and the nature of the customer base of a hotel or group of hotels. ADR is a commonly used performance measure in the hotel industry, and management uses ADR to assess pricing levels that the Company is able to generate by type of customer, as changes in rates have a more pronounced effect on overall revenues and incremental profitability than changes in occupancy, as described above.
16
Revenue per Available Room
Revenue per Available Room (“RevPAR”) represents rooms revenue divided by the total number of room nights available to guests for a given period. Room nights available to guests have not been adjusted for suspended or reduced operations at certain of Park’s hotels as a result of COVID-19. Management considers RevPAR to be a meaningful indicator of the Company’s performance as it provides a metric correlated to two primary and key factors of operations at a hotel or group of hotels: occupancy and ADR. RevPAR is also a useful indicator in measuring performance over comparable periods.
Total RevPAR
Total RevPAR represents rooms, food and beverage and other hotel revenues divided by the total number of room nights available to guests for a given period. Room nights available to guests have not been adjusted for suspended or reduced operations at certain of Park’s hotels as a result of COVID-19. Management considers Total RevPAR to be a meaningful indicator of the Company’s performance as approximately one-third of revenues are earned from food and beverage and other hotel revenues. Total RevPAR is also a useful indicator in measuring performance over comparable periods.

About Park Hotels & Resorts Inc. Park (NYSE: PK) is the second largest publicly-traded lodging real estate company with a diverse portfolio of market-leading hotels and resorts with significant underlying real estate value. Park’s portfolio consists of 54 premium-branded hotels and resorts with approximately 32,000 rooms primarily located in prime city center and resort locations.

Forward-Looking Statements This supplement contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements related to Park’s current expectations regarding the performance of its business, financial results, liquidity and capital resources, including the expected dates for reopening the Company’s hotels and dates that its hotels will break even or achieve positive Hotel Adjusted EBITDA, the impact to the Company's business and financial condition and that of its hotel management companies, measures being taken in response to COVID-19, the effects of competition and the effects of future legislation or regulations, the expected completion of anticipated dispositions, the declaration and payment of future dividends and other non-historical statements. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts, and in some cases, can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as the words “outlook,” “believes,” “expects,” “potential,” “continues,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “seeks,” “projects,” “predicts,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” “hopes” or the negative version of these words or other comparable words. You should not rely on forward-looking statements since they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which are, in some cases, beyond the Company’s control and which could materially affect its results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, performance or future achievements or events. Currently, one of the most significant factors continues to be the adverse effect of COVID-19, including resurgences, on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and performance, its hotel management companies and its hotels’ tenants, and the global economy and financial markets. COVID-19 has significantly affected the Company’s business, and the extent to which COVID-19 continues to affect the Company, its hotel managers, tenants and guests at the Company’s hotels will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic, the actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its effect, the emergence of virus variants, the efficacy, availability and deployment of vaccinations and other treatments to combat COVID-19, including public adoption rates of COVID-19 vaccines, additional closures that may be mandated or advisable even after the reopening of the Company’s hotels, whether due to an increased number of COVID-19 cases or otherwise, and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures, among others. Moreover, investors are cautioned to interpret many of the risks identified in the risk factors included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 as being heightened as a result of the ongoing and numerous adverse effects of COVID-19.
Forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements. You should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements and Park urges investors to carefully review the disclosures Park makes concerning risk and uncertainties in Item 1A: “Risk Factors” in Park’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, as such factors may be updated from time to time in Park’s filings with the SEC, which are accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Except as required by law, Park undertakes no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Supplemental Financial Information Park refers to certain non-generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) financial measures in this presentation, including Funds from (used in) Operations (“FFO”) calculated in accordance with the guidelines of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“Nareit”), Adjusted FFO, FFO per share, Adjusted FFO per share, Earnings (loss) before interest expense, taxes and depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel Adjusted EBITDA margin, Net debt and Net debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered along with, but not as alternatives to, net income (loss) as a measure of its operating performance. Please see the schedules included in this presentation including the “Definitions” section for additional information and reconciliations of such non-GAAP financial measures. |

Pro-forma
The Company presents certain data for its consolidated hotels on a pro-forma hotel basis as supplemental information for investors: Pro-forma Hotel Revenues, Pro-forma RevPAR, Pro-forma Total RevPAR, Pro-forma Occupancy, Pro-forma ADR, Pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA, Pro-forma Hotel Adjusted EBITDA and Pro-forma Hotel Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Net debt to Pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA ratio. The Company presents pro-forma hotel results to help the Company and its investors evaluate the ongoing operating performance of its hotels. The Company’s pro-forma metrics exclude results from property dispositions that have occurred through February 17, 2022 and include results from property acquisitions as though such acquisitions occurred on the earliest period presented.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel Adjusted EBITDA and Hotel Adjusted EBITDA Margin Earnings (loss) before interest expense, taxes and depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), presented herein, reflects net income (loss) excluding depreciation and amortization, interest income, interest expense, income taxes and interest expense, income tax and depreciation and amortization included in equity in earnings (losses) from investments in affiliates. Adjusted EBITDA, presented herein, is calculated as EBITDA, as previously defined, further adjusted to exclude: Gains or losses on sales of assets for both consolidated and unconsolidated investments; Costs associated with hotel acquisitions or dispositions expensed during the period; Severance expense; Share-based compensation expense; Casualty gains or losses; Impairment losses; and Other items that management believes are not representative of the Company’s current or future operating performance. Hotel Adjusted EBITDA measures hotel-level results before debt service, depreciation and corporate expenses of the Company’s consolidated hotels, which excludes hotels owned by unconsolidated affiliates, and is a key measure of the Company’s profitability. The Company presents Hotel Adjusted EBITDA to help the Company and its investors evaluate the ongoing operating performance of the Company’s consolidated hotels. Hotel Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as Hotel Adjusted EBITDA divided by total hotel revenue. |

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel Adjusted EBITDA and Hotel Adjusted EBITDA margin are not recognized terms under United States (“U.S.”) GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss) or other measures of financial performance or liquidity derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, the Company’s definitions of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel Adjusted EBITDA and Hotel Adjusted EBITDA margin may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. The Company believes that EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel Adjusted EBITDA and Hotel Adjusted EBITDA margin provide useful information to investors about the Company and its financial condition and results of operations for the following reasons: (i) EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel Adjusted EBITDA and Hotel Adjusted EBITDA margin are among the measures used by the Company’s management team to make day-to-day operating decisions and evaluate its operating performance between periods and between REITs by removing the effect of its capital structure (primarily interest expense) and asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization) from its operating results; and (ii) EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel Adjusted EBITDA and Hotel Adjusted EBITDA margin are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties as a common performance measure to compare results or estimate valuations across companies in the industry. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Hotel Adjusted EBITDA and Hotel Adjusted EBITDA margin have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered either in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss) or other methods of analyzing the Company’s operating performance and results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Because of these limitations, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Hotel Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as discretionary cash available to the Company to reinvest in the growth of Park’s business or as measures of cash that will be available to us to meet our obligations.
Nareit FFO attributable to stockholders, Adjusted FFO attributable to stockholders, Nareit FFO per share – Diluted and Adjusted FFO per share – Diluted
Nareit FFO attributable to stockholders and Nareit FFO per diluted share (defined as set forth below) are presented herein as non-GAAP measures of the Company’s performance. The Company calculates funds from (used in) operations (“FFO”) attributable to stockholders for a given operating period in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“Nareit”), as net income (loss) attributable to stockholders (calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP), excluding depreciation and amortization, gains or losses on sales of assets, impairment, and the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles, plus adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures are calculated to reflect the Company’s pro rata share of the FFO of those entities on the same basis. As noted by Nareit in its December 2018 “Nareit Funds from Operations White Paper – 2018 Restatement,” since real estate values historically have risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors have considered presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves. For these reasons, Nareit adopted the FFO metric in order to promote an industry-wide measure of REIT operating performance. The Company believes Nareit FFO provides useful information to investors regarding its operating performance and can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between REITS. The Company’s presentation may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not define the terms in accordance with the current Nareit definition, or that interpret the current Nareit definition differently. The Company calculates Nareit FFO per diluted share as Nareit FFO divided by the number of fully diluted shares outstanding during a given operating period. |

The Company also presents Adjusted FFO attributable to stockholders and Adjusted FFO per diluted share when evaluating its performance because management believes that the exclusion of certain additional items described below provides useful supplemental information to investors regarding the Company’s ongoing operating performance. Management historically has made the adjustments detailed below in evaluating its performance and in its annual budget process. Management believes that the presentation of Adjusted FFO provides useful supplemental information that is beneficial to an investor’s complete understanding of operating performance. The Company adjusts Nareit FFO attributable to stockholders for the following items, which may occur in any period, and refers to this measure as Adjusted FFO attributable to stockholders:
Costs associated with hotel acquisitions or dispositions expensed during the period; Severance expense; Share-based compensation expense and; Other items that management believes are not representative of the Company’s current or future operating performance.
Net Debt Net debt, presented herein, is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company uses to evaluate its financial leverage. Net debt is calculated as (i) long-term debt, including current maturities and excluding unamortized deferred financing costs; and (ii) the Company’s share of investments in affiliate debt, excluding unamortized deferred financing costs; reduced by (a) cash and cash equivalents; and (b) restricted cash and cash equivalents. The Company believes Net debt provides useful information about its indebtedness to investors as it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to compare the indebtedness of companies. Net debt should not be considered as a substitute to debt presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Net debt may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure of other companies. Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio Net debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio, presented herein, is a non-GAAP financial measure and is included as it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to compare the financial condition of companies. Net debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio should not be considered as an alternative to measures of financial condition derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP and it may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure of other companies. Occupancy Occupancy represents the total number of room nights sold divided by the total number of room nights available at a hotel or group of hotels. Room nights available to guests have not been adjusted for suspended or reduced operations at certain of Park’s hotels as a result of COVID-19. Occupancy measures the utilization of the Company’s hotels’ available capacity. Management uses occupancy to gauge demand at a specific hotel or group of hotels in a given period. Occupancy levels also help management determine achievable Average Daily Rate (“ADR”) levels as demand for hotel rooms increases or decreases. |

Average Daily Rate ADR represents rooms revenue divided by total number of room nights sold in a given period. ADR measures average room price attained by a hotel and ADR trends provide useful information concerning the pricing environment and the nature of the customer base of a hotel or group of hotels. ADR is a commonly used performance measure in the hotel industry, and management uses ADR to assess pricing levels that the Company is able to generate by type of customer, as changes in rates have a more pronounced effect on overall revenues and incremental profitability than changes in occupancy, as described above. Revenue per Available Room Revenue per Available Room (“RevPAR”) represents rooms revenue divided by total number of room nights available to guests for a given period. Room nights available to guests have not been adjusted for suspended or reduced operations at certain of Park’s hotels as a result of COVID-19. Management considers RevPAR to be a meaningful indicator of the Company’s performance as it provides a metric correlated to two primary and key factors of operations at a hotel or group of hotels: occupancy and ADR. RevPAR is also a useful indicator in measuring performance over comparable periods. Total RevPAR Total RevPAR represents rooms, food and beverage and other hotel revenues divided by the total number of room nights available to guests for a given period. Room nights available to guests have not been adjusted for suspended or reduced operations at certain of Park’s hotels as a result of COVID-19. Management considers Total RevPAR to be a meaningful indicator of the Company’s performance as approximately one-third of revenues are earned from food and beverage and other hotel revenues. Total RevPAR is also a useful indicator in measuring performance over comparable periods. References to RevPAR, Total RevPAR and ADR are presented on a currency neutral basis (prior periods are reflected using current period exchange rates), unless otherwise noted. |
