Refer to Note 1 “Nature of Business” and Note 2 "Basis of Presentation" of the notes to our consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report for further information regarding the basis of presentation.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are “forward looking statements.” Statements regarding our expectations regarding the business are “forward looking statements.” In addition, words such as “estimates,” “projected,” “expects,” “estimated,” “anticipates,” “forecasts,” “plans,” “intends,” “believes,” “seeks,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “future,” “propose,” “target,” “goal,” “objective,” “outlook” and variations of these words or similar expressions (or the negative versions of such words or expressions) are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our other periodic filings are not guarantees of future performance, conditions or results and are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on us. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those factors described under "Risk Factor Summary," “Item 1A. Risk Factors,” and "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 (the "2021 Form 10-K"). Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. We may face additional risks and uncertainties that are not presently known to us, or that we deem to be immaterial, which may also impair our business, financial condition or prospects. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.

Fathom Digital Manufacturing Corporation
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

(In thousands, except share amounts)

Note 1. Nature of Business

Fathom Digital Manufacturing Corporation (“Fathom”, "Successor", or the “Company”) was incorporated as a Delaware corporation on December 23, 2021 as part of the Business Combination as defined below. Fathom was previously named Altimar Acquisition Corp. II ("Altimar II") before deregistering as an exempted company in the Cayman Islands. Fathom, through its consolidated subsidiary, Fathom Holdco, LLC (“Fathom OpCo”), is a leading on-demand digital manufacturing platform in North America, providing comprehensive product development and manufacturing services to many of the largest and most innovative companies in the world.

Fathom OpCo was formed on April 16, 2021 as a limited liability company in accordance with the provisions of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, for the purpose of holding a 100 percent equity interest in MCT Group Holdings, LLC and its subsidiaries (“MCT Holdings”) and holding a 100 percent equity interest in Incodema Holdings, LLC and its subsidiaries (“Incodema Holdings”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 (the "2021 Form 10-K").

Note 2. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Fathom Digital Manufacturing Corporation and all majority-owned subsidiaries and entities in which a controlling interest is maintained. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) applicable to interim reports. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in our 2021 Form 10-K. The Company's annual reporting period is the calendar year.

In the Company’s opinion, the unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of adjustments of a normal, recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. Actual results may differ from those estimates, judgments and assumptions. Amounts in the prior years' unaudited consolidated financial statements are reclassified whenever necessary to conform to the current year's presentation. The reclassifications had no impact on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows for the Predecessor Period as defined below.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases ("Topic 842") Section A - Leases: Amendments to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC"). The standard requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities arising from leases on the balance sheet and retains a distinction between finance leases and operating leases. The classification criteria for distinguishing between finance leases and operating leases are substantially similar to the classification criteria for distinguishing between capital leases and operating leases in the previous lease guidance. The Company adopted this standard and related amendments in the first quarter of 2022, using the modified retrospective approach. Using the modified retrospective approach, the Company determined an incremental borrowing rate at the date of adoption based on the total lease term and total minimum rental payments.

The modified retrospective approach provides a method for recording existing leases at adoption with a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings. The Company elected the package of practical expedients, which permits the Company to not reassess (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (2) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and (3) any initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases as of the effective date. The Company also elected the practical expedient to use hindsight when determining the lease term and the practical expedient to not allocate lease considerations between lease and non-lease components for real estate leases. As such, real estate lease considerations are treated as a single lease-component and accounted for accordingly. The Company excludes leases with an initial term of 12 months or less from the application of Topic 842.

Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of $3,122 and $8,195 of current lease liabilities and long-term lease liabilities, respectively, and $11,986 in corresponding right-of-use lease assets. The difference between the approximate value of the right-of-use lease assets and lease liabilities is attributable to future rent escalations. The cumulative change in the beginning accumulated deficit was $82 due to the adoption of Topic 842. There was no material impact on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations or consolidated statement of cash flows. The Company’s comparative periods continue to be presented and disclosed in accordance with previous lease guidance.

Note 3. Business Combination with Fathom OpCo

On December 23, 2021, Altimar II and Fathom OpCo closed a series of transactions (collectively, the "Business Combination") pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement dated as of July 15, 2021, as amended (the "Agreement"), that resulted in the combined Company becoming a publicly-traded company on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") with the Company controlling Fathom OpCo in an "UP-C" structure. At the closing on December 23, 2021 ("Closing Date"), Altimar II domesticated into a Delaware corporation, and changed its name to Fathom Digital Manufacturing Corporation ("Fathom", the "Company", "we", or "our"). Following the closing, the former public investors in Altimar II, the investors that purchased Class A common stock in the private placement offering ("PIPE Investors") and the Founders collectively held Class A common stock representing approximately 10.4% economic interest in Fathom OpCo, and the CORE Investors and the other Legacy Fathom Owners collectively held 89.6% of economic interest in Fathom OpCo in the form of either Class A common stock or exchangeable Class A Units of Fathom OpCo. Additionally, the Company issued to the legacy Fathom owners shares of Class B common stock, which have no economic rights but entitle each holder to voting power (one vote per share). Subsequently to the closing, the Company controls Fathom OpCo and is a holding company with no assets or operations other than its equity interest in Fathom OpCo.

The Business Combination was accounted for using the acquisition method with the Company as the accounting acquirer. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the Company's assets and liabilities were recorded at carrying value, and the assets and liabilities associated with Fathom OpCo were recorded at estimated fair value as of the closing date. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired was recognized as goodwill. For accounting purposes, the acquirer is the entity that has obtained control of another entity and, thus, consummated a business combination. The determination of whether control has been obtained begins with the evaluation of whether control should be evaluated based on the variable interest or the voting interest model. If the acquiree is a variable interest entity, the primary beneficiary would be the accounting acquirer. Fathom OpCo met the definition of a variable interest entity, and the Company was determined to the be the primary beneficiary and is therefore also the accounting acquirer in the Business Combination.

As a result of the Business Combination, the Company's financial statement presentation distinguishes Fathom OpCo as the "Predecessor" through the Closing Date ("the 2021 Predecessor Period" or "Predecessor Period"). The Company is the "Successor" ("2022 Successor Period" or "Successor Period") for periods after the Closing Date. As a result of the application of the acquisition method of accounting in the Successor Period, the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the Successor Period are presented on a full step-up basis and are therefore not comparable to the unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Predecessor Period that are not presented on the same full step-up basis.

In connection with the Business Combination, the Company incurred $19,010 of transaction expenses. These costs were recorded on the income statement of Altimar II prior to the Business Combination. Since the Predecessor period for purposes of these financial statements was deemed to be the historical results of Fathom OpCo, these transaction costs are not presented in the Company's consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss) for the 2021 Predecessor Period. However, these transaction costs are reflected in the accumulated deficit balance of the Company in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 (Successor).

The seller earnout contingent consideration below represents the estimated fair market value of the 9,000,000 Fathom Earnout Shares issued in conjunction with the Business Combination. The Fathom Earnout Shares will be settled with shares of Class A common stock or New Fathom Units and are accounted for as liability classified contingent consideration. The Fathom Earnout Shares vest in three equal tranches of 3,000,000 shares each at the volume-weighted average share price thresholds of $12.50, $15.00 and $20.00, respectively. The earnout period related to the Fathom Earnout Shares is five years from the Closing Date. These estimated fair values are preliminary and subject to adjustment in subsequent periods.

In conjunction with the Business Combination, the Company recognized a deferred tax liability $17,573. The deferred tax liability was recorded on the standalone books of the Company with an offset to goodwill. The deferred tax liability is included in the other noncurrent liabilities caption in the table below.

Note 5. Revenue

The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with ASC 606. Revenue is recognized in five steps. The Company identifies the contract with the customer, identifies the performance obligations in the contract, determines the transaction price, allocates the transaction price to the performance obligations, and recognizes revenue when (or as) each performance obligation is satisfied. Collectability is a required component of a valid contract. The Company assesses collectability based on a number of factors, including the customer’s past payment history and current creditworthiness. If collectability is not considered probable at inception, the Company will not have a valid contract.

Most of the Company’s revenue has one performance obligation and is recognized on a point-in-time basis upon shipment. The majority of the Company’s injection molding contracts have multiple performance obligations including one obligation to produce the mold and sample part and a second obligation to produce production parts. For injection molding contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates revenue to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price and recognizes revenue for each performance obligation on a point-in-time basis upon shipment. We generally determine stand-alone selling price based on the price charged to customers. The Company’s payments terms are consistent with industry standards and never exceed 12 months.

Revenue by product line for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021 were as follows:


	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	September 30, 2022 (Successor)		September 30, 2021 (Predecessor)		September 30, 2022 (Successor)		September 30, 2021 (Predecessor)

Total revenue	$	40,210	$	41,481	$	122,737	$	107,887

Note 6. Inventories

Inventories are estimated at the lower of cost or net realizable value (“NRV”), with NRV based on selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. Costs are determined on the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method.

Inventories consisted of the following:

Depreciation expense included in cost of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021 was $1,492 and $1,580, respectively, and $4,283 and $2,679 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively.

Note 8. Goodwill and Intangible Assets, net

A rollforward of goodwill is as follows:



Balance at December 31, 2021	$	1,189,464
Measurement period adjustments		(1,121	)
Goodwill impairment		(1,066,564	)
Balance at September 30, 2022	$	121,779

As a result of sustained decreases in the Company’s publicly quoted share price, lower market multiples for a relevant peer group, and challenging macroeconomic conditions, the Company concluded there were impairment indicators and conducted a quantitative goodwill impairment assessment, including additional testing of its definite-lived intangibles, and other long-lived assets as of September 30, 2022. As a result of this assessment, the Company did not identify an impairment to its definite-lived intangible assets or other long-lived assets, but the Company recorded a $1,066,564 non-deductible, non-cash goodwill impairment charge (or $19.27 per basic and diluted share) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 in our unaudited consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).

The Company estimated the fair value of the Company using an equal allocation between the discounted cash flow method under the income approach and the public company guideline method under the market approach. The significant assumptions used in the valuation include revenue growth rates, future gross profit margins and operating expenses used to calculate projected future cash flows, determination of the weighted average cost of capital, and future economic and market conditions. The terminal value is based on an exit revenue multiple which requires significant assumptions regarding the selections of appropriate multiples that consider relevant market trading data. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on its knowledge of the digital manufacturing industry, recent performance, expectations of future performance and other assumptions the Company believes to be reasonable.

Note 9. Reorganization

In July 2022, the Company's Board of Directors approved a reorganization plan (the "Reorganization") designed to consolidate the Company’s national footprint, streamline legacy leadership, and centralize core business functions following the completion of 13 acquisitions by Fathom since 2019. Pursuant to the Reorganization, the Company intends to:

• Consolidate its existing facility in Oakland, CA into Fathom headquarters in Hartland, WI, improving utilization and reducing costs;

• Establish a Fathom technology center in Fremont, CA that will focus on new and emerging technologies, specifically in the additive market; and

• Consolidate leadership and other roles through a net workforce reduction of approximately 6%, create an accounting shared service organization to streamline company-wide processes and create economies of scale while pursuing additional shared-service systems in other administrative functions.

The Company has commenced workforce reductions and expects to complete these actions by the end of the second quarter of 2023. The Company has also commenced the relocation of its Oakland, CA facility to Hartland, WI and expects to complete these activities by the end of the first quarter 2023. Reorganizing charges are presented on the face of our unaudited consolidated statement of comprehensive loss as an operating expense.

Note 11. Debt

On December 23, 2021, Fathom OpCo entered into the New Credit Agreement, which included a $50,000 revolving credit facility and $125,000 term loan. The Company's borrowings under the revolving credit agreement were $27,000 at September 30, 2022. The loans made under the New Credit Agreement will mature in December 2026.

On November 10, 2022, the Company entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) of the New Credit Agreement (as amended by the Amendment, the “Amended Credit Agreement) with the administrative agent thereof (the “Administrative Agent”) and the other lenders party thereto to modify certain financial covenants. Specifically, the Amendment (i) reduced the minimum interest coverage ratio from 3.00 to 1.0 to 2.50 to 1.0 for each fiscal quarter ending in fiscal 2023, to 2.75 to 1.0 for the fiscal quarters ending on March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, with the minimum interest coverage ratio reverting back to 3.00 to 1.0 for each fiscal quarter ending on and after September 30, 2024, (ii) increased the maximum net leverage ratio to 4.50 to 1.0 for each fiscal quarter ending on September 30, 2022 through June 30, 2023, which ratio will decrease thereafter over time until it reaches 3.50 to 1.0 for each fiscal quarter ending on and after June 30, 2024, and (iii) prohibits certain restricted payments by the Company otherwise permitted by Section 6.06(g) of the Amended Credit Agreement through September 30, 2024.

The Amendment also replaces the Adjusted LIBO Rate (e.g., LIBO Rate multiplied by the then applicable statutory reserve rate per annum), plus a range of applicable margins, as an interest election under the Amended Credit Agreement, with Term SOFR plus 0.10% (“Adjusted Term SOFR”) per annum and Daily Simple SOFR plus 0.10% per annum, as appliable, in each case plus an applicable margin adjustment ranging from 2.25% to 3.75% based on the Company’s most recent net leverage ratio calculation as of the applicable interest determination date.

In addition, the Amendment replaces the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus 1.00% per annum as one of the interest rate floors applied in determining the alternate base interest rate for ABR Loans (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement), with Adjusted Term SOFR plus 1.00% per annum. Lastly, the Amendment provides that the applicable margin applicable to ABR Loans increase to 2.75% to the extent the Company’s net leverage ratio equals or exceeds 4.00 to 1.0 on the applicable date.

The Company recorded deferred financing costs of $1,828 in conjunction with the New Credit Agreement and the balance is presented net within Long-term debt, net on the Company's consolidated balance sheet. The Company amortizes the deferred financing costs using the effective interest method.

The revolving credit facility under the Amended Credit Agreement is available for working capital and other general corporate purposes and includes a letter of credit sub-facility of up to $5,000. The Amended Credit Agreement also includes an uncommitted incremental facility, which, subject to certain conditions, provides for additional term loan facilities, an increase in commitments under the New Credit Agreement and/or an increase in commitments under the revolving credit facility, in an aggregate amount of up to $100,000. The Company is subject to various financial covenants, including quarterly net leverage and interest coverage covenants. The Company is in compliance with all debt covenants related to the Amended Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2022.

Note 13. Shared Based Compensation

On December 23, 2021, the Company executed the Fathom Digital Manufacturing 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "2021 Omnibus Plan") to encourage the profitability and growth of the Company through short-term and long-term incentives that are consistent with the Company's objectives. The 2021 Omnibus Plan provides that the Company may grant options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted stock units, performance-based awards (including performance-based restricted shares and restricted stock units), other share-based awards, other cash-based awards, and any combination of the foregoing.

Share Based Compensation Expense

Share based compensation was $1,762 and $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively, and $5,687 and $31 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively.

Stock Options

In February 2022, the Company granted stock options to purchase up to 317,091 shares of Class A common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $8.71 per share which generally vest over a requisite service period of three years. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $0.

The following table summarizes provides the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model valuation of stock options for the nine months ended September 30 2022:


	September 30, 2022
Expected term (years)	4.5
Expected volatility		58.7	%
Expected dividend yield		0.0	%
Risk-free interest rate		1.91	%
Fair value of share	$	4.26

At September 30, 2022, there was approximately $1,087 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options granted under the 2021 Omnibus Plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.42 years as of September 30, 2022.

The Company currently uses authorized and unissued shares to satisfy share award exercises.

Restricted Stock Units and Restricted Stock

Restricted stock unit awards are share-settled awards and restrictions lapse ratably over the vesting period, which is generally a period of one to three years. subject to the employee's continuing service to the Company. Restricted stock awards are awards of shares subject to vesting and any other conditions specified in the related award agreements.

Forfeited		(4,035	)		8.72		-
Non-vested at September 30, 2022		1,387,103		$	7.87	$	-

At September 30, 2022, there was approximately $8,768 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock units granted under the 2021 Omnibus Plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.43 years.

Note 14. Earnings Per Share and Earnings Per Unit

Successor

Basic net income per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, increased by the number of any additional shares that would have been outstanding had any potentially dilutive common shares been issued and reduced by the number of shares the Company could have repurchased from the proceeds from issuance of the potentially dilutive shares. For the purposes of the diluted earnings per share calculation, share options, warrants, time vested restricted stock, earnout shares and conversion of Fathom OpCo units are excluded from the calculation for the three and nine months ending September 30, 2022, as the inclusion would be anti-dilutive due the losses reported in the period.

Only the Company's Class A common stock participates in the Company’s undistributed earnings. As such, the Company’s undistributed earnings are allocated entirely to shares of Class A common stock based on the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding the three and nine months ending September 30, 2022.

The Company's basic and diluted earnings per share calculation is as follows:


	Three Months Ended			Nine Months Ended
	September 30, 2022			September 30, 2022
	(Successor)			(Successor)
	Class A			Class A
Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share:

Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share	$	(7.80	)	$	(7.82	)

Predecessor

Basic net loss per unit is computed based on the weighted average number of common units outstanding. Diluted net loss per unit is computed based on the weighted average number of common units outstanding, increased by the number of any additional units that would have been outstanding had any potentially dilutive common units been issued and reduced by the number of units Fathom OpCo could have repurchased from the proceeds from issuance of the potentially dilutive units. Fathom OpCo had no dilutive instruments outstanding as of September 30, 2021. As a result, basic and diluted earnings per units are the same as of September 30, 2021.

In the Predecessor Period, Fathom OpCo's Class A common units and Class B common units participated equally in Fathom OpCo's undistributed earnings. As such, Fathom OpCo’s undistributed earnings were allocated pro-rata to the Class A common units and Class B common units based on the weighted-average number of Class A common units and Class B common units outstanding as of September 30, 2021 such that earnings per unit for Class A common units and Class B common units are the same in each period.

Note 15. Shareholders' Equity, Non-controlling Interest, and Members' Equity

Successor

The Company’s equity consists of a total of 500,000,000 authorized shares across all classes of capital stock, which the Company has the authority to issue. The 500,000,000 authorized shares consist of 10,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share, 300,000,000 authorized shares of Class A common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share, 180,000,000 shares of Class B common stock with a par value of $0.0001 par value per share, and 10,000,000 shares of Class C common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share.

For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company' shareholders exchanged 3,861,589 and 14,141,920, respectively, of Fathom OpCo's exchangeable Class A Units (and the associated vote-only Class B shares) for an equal number of Class A shares. As a result of the exchange, the Company reallocated equity from noncontrolling interests to the Company's additional paid-in-capital and recorded additional deferred tax assets and TRA liability in connection with the exchanges. See the consolidated statement of shareholders' equity and redeemable non-controlling interest for these amounts.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company had no outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, 65,529,753 outstanding shares of Class A common stock, 70,153,051 outstanding shares of Class B common stock, and no outstanding shares of Class C common stock.

Note 16. Leases

The Company leases certain manufacturing facilities, office space, and equipment and determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Amounts associated with operating leases and financing leases are included in right-of-use lease assets (“ROU assets”), current lease liabilities and long-term lease liabilities in the Company's unaudited consolidated balance sheet.

ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the estimated present value of lease payments over the lease term.

If the leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is determined using a portfolio approach based on the rate of interest that we would pay to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over a similar term. The Company uses quoted interest rates obtained from financial institutions as an input to derive its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for the lease.

Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet, and we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For lease agreements entered into or reassessed after the adoption of Topic 842, we combine lease and nonlease components.

Certain leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one to 10 years or more, and the exercise of lease renewal options under these leases is at our sole discretion. Lease terms include the non-cancellable portion of the underlying leases along with any reasonably certain lease periods associated with available renewal periods. Certain of the Company’s operating leases include variable rental payments based on a percentage change of certain consumer price indices ("CPI"). Variable rental payments are recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss) in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

Note 17. Tax Receivable Agreement

In connection with the Business Combination, Fathom entered into a Tax Receivable Agreement ("TRA") with certain owners of Fathom OpCo prior to the Business Combination. Pursuant to the TRA, the Company will pay certain of these parties, as applicable, 85% of the tax benefits, of any savings the company realizes, calculated using certain assumptions, as a result of (i) tax basis adjustments from sales and exchanges of Fathom OpCo's equity interests in connection with or following the Business Combination and certain distributions with respect to Fathom OpCo's equity interests, (ii) our utilization of certain tax attributes, and (iii) certain other tax benefits related to entering into the TRA.

Actual tax benefits realized by Fathom may differ from tax benefits calculated under the TRA as a result of the use of certain assumptions in the TRA, including the use of an assumed weighted-average state and local income tax rate to calculate tax benefits. While the amount of existing tax basis, the anticipated tax basis adjustments and the actual amount and utilization of tax attributes, as well as the amount and timing of any payments under the TRA, will vary depending upon a number of factors, we expect that the payments that Fathom may make under the TRA will be substantial.

Fathom Digital Manufacturing Corporation
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

(In thousands, except share amounts)

The Company’s TRA liability established upon completion of the Business Combination is measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). The TRA liability balance at September 30, 2022 assumes: (i) a constant blended U.S. federal, state and local income tax rate of 26.9%; (ii) no material changes in tax law; (iii) the ability to utilize tax attributes based on current alternative tax forecasts; and (iv) future payments under the TRA are made when due under the TRA. The amount of the expected future payments under the TRA has been discounted to its present value using a discount rate of 12.2%.

Subsequent to the Business Combination, the Company will record additional liabilities under the TRA when Class A Units of Fathom OpCo are exchanged for Class A common stock. Liabilities resulting from these exchanges will be recorded on a gross undiscounted basis and are not remeasured at fair value. During the Successor nine months ended September 30, 2022, an additional TRA liability of $21,700 was established as a result of these exchanges.

The following table summarizes the changes in the TRA liabilities:

Note 18. Fair Value Measurement

The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects our management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:

Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Level 2 — Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The following table presents information about the Company’s liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2022.

Valuation Methodologies for Fair Value Measurements Categorized within Levels 2 and 3

Tax Receivable Agreement

The fair value of the TRA is based on multiple inputs and assumptions input into a Monte Carlo simulation model. The significant inputs into this model are the following: a corporate tax rate of 26.9%, an annual TRA payment date of February 16, existing non-controlling interest percentage of 51.9%, initial amortization deductions of $56,400, $368,000 of taxable income forecast by 2030, a sell-down schedule which reflects the expected sale of our Class A common units in Fathom OpCo ("New Fathom Units") by legacy Fathom OpCo shareholders, a Class A common stock price as of September 30, 2022 (Successor) of $2.03, volatility of 88.0%, correlation between taxable income and the Class A common stock price of 26.9%, a cost of equity of 16.4%, and a cost of debt range from 7.5% to 10.1%.

Legacy Fathom OpCo Acquisitions Contingent Consideration

The fair values for contingent consideration payable are determined by using a discounted cash flow approach with unobservable inputs and is classified as a Level 3 liability in the fair value hierarchy. The Company’s assessment of the significance of particular inputs to these fair value measurements requires judgment and considers factors specific to each entity to which the contingent consideration relates to, for example EBITDA targets for a given period.

Earnout Shares Liability

The fair values for the Earnout Shares are estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation assuming Geometric Brownian Motion in a risk-neutral framework. The Monte Carlo simulation considers daily simulated stock prices as a proxy for the Company's daily volume-weighted average price ("VWAP"). The key inputs into the valuation of the Earnout Shares are an expected term of five years, a risk-free rate of 4.13%, operating asset volatility of 87.4%, and equity volatility of 100.2%. The operating asset volatility and the equity volatility assumptions are based on a blended average of operating and equity volatility, respectively, of publicly traded companies within the Company's peer group.

Private Placement Warrants

The Warrant liabilities are measured at fair value at inception and on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value presented within change in fair value of Warrant liabilities in the statement of operations.

Fathom Digital Manufacturing Corporation
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

(In thousands, except share amounts)

The Private Placement warrants are valued using a Monte Carlo simulation model, which is considered to be a Level 3 fair value measurement. The volatility for the Private Placement warrants, a key input into the valuation, was estimated to be 25% based on a calibration to the publicly traded per share price of the Company's Class A common stock as of December 31, 2021 (Successor). Other key inputs into the valuation include a term of 5.0 years, a strike price of $11.50 per share, and an assumption that the Private Placement warrants will remain outstanding until maturity since the Private Placement warrants are not redeemable.

In instances whereby inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels in the above fair value hierarchy, fair value measurements in their entirety are categorized based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation. The Company’s assessment of the significance of particular inputs to these fair value measurements requires judgment and considers factors specific to each asset or liability.

Note 19. Income Taxes

The Company calculates the provision for income taxes during interim periods by applying an estimate of the forecasted annual effective tax rate for the full fiscal year to "ordinary" income or loss (pretax income or loss excluding unusual or infrequently occurring discrete items) for the reporting period. Income tax expense for the three months ending September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021 was $87 and $729, respectively. Income tax expense for the nine months ending September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021 was $167 and $807, respectively. The effective tax rate, including discrete items, was 0% for the periods ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021. The tax provision for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 is impacted by certain permanent non-deductible portions of the goodwill impairment, partially offset by the valuation allowance recorded against the deferred tax assets.

The Company reduced its deferred tax liability by $12,219 and $17,700 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, through additional paid in capital related to the exchange of Fathom OpCo's exchangeable Class A Units (and the associated vote-only Class B shares) for an equal number of Class A shares.

The Company evaluates the realizability of the deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis and has determined that it is appropriate to record a valuation allowance on any net deferred tax assets. The deferred tax liability recorded in previous periods has been fully offset due to the exchanges of Fathom OpCo Class A units as described above.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company did not recognize income tax expense or benefits associated with uncertain tax positions.

Note 20. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is subject to various claims and lawsuits that arise in the ordinary course of business. It is the opinion of management that the disposition or ultimate resolution of such claims and lawsuits will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, comprehensive gain (loss) or cash flows.

Note 21. Variable Interest Entities

Based upon the criteria set forth in ASC 810, the Company consolidates variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which it has a controlling financial interest and is therefore deemed the primary beneficiary. A controlling financial interest will have both of the following characteristics: (a) the power to direct the VIE activities that most significantly impact economic performance; and (b) the obligation to absorb the VIE losses and the right to receive benefits that are significant to the VIE. The Company has determined that Fathom OpCo meets the definition of a VIE and that the Company is the primary beneficiary of Fathom OpCo beginning on the date of the Business Combination, and therefore the Company must consolidate Fathom OpCo from the date of the Business Combination.

The following table presents a summary of the total assets, liabilities, and shareholders' equity of the Company’s consolidated VIE, which is comprised solely of Fathom OpCo.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report, together with our audited consolidated financial statements for our most recently completed fiscal year set forth under Item 8 of our 2021 Form 10-K. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed below. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those identified below and those discussed in Item 1A “Risk Factors” of our 2021 Form 10-K and other filings under the Exchange Act.

Overview

Fathom Digital Manufacturing Corporation was incorporated in Delaware in December 2021 as part of the completion of the business combination of Altimar Acquisition Corp II and Fathom Opco (the "Business Combination"). However, our roots stretch back over 35 years with the founding of several of our subsidiaries. The terms “Fathom” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” as used herein refer to the business and operations of Fathom Digital Manufacturing Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries.

We are a leading national on-demand digital manufacturing platform at the forefront of the Industry 4.0 revolution. Industry 4.0 utilizes e-commerce, automation, and data sharing in a cyber-physical system to communicate and cooperate in the manufacturing process over the Internet of Things ("IoT"). Using our expansive manufacturing footprint and extensive expertise in both additive and traditional manufacturing, we provide comprehensive product development and on-demand manufacturing services to many of the largest and most innovative companies in the world. Our unified suite of manufacturing technologies, processes, and proprietary software enables us to deliver hybridized solutions that meet the specific needs of our customers, empowering them to tackle complex manufacturing problems and accelerate product development cycles.

Our differentiated strategy focuses on speed, problem solving, adaptive technical responsiveness, and a technology agnostic approach across our 25 plus manufacturing processes to meet customers’ design intent. This allows our customers to iterate faster, often shortening their product development and production cycles from months to days.

We seamlessly blend in-house capabilities consisting of plastic and metal additive technologies, injection molding and tooling, computer numerical control (“CNC”) machining, and precision sheet metal fabrication. We operate over 530 advanced manufacturing systems across 25 unique manufacturing processes and a 450,000 sq. ft. manufacturing footprint, spanning 12 facilities located primarily within the U.S. We believe we are positioned to serve the largest geographic markets in which our customers are located and enable cost effective and rapid turnaround times for our customers. Our scale and the breadth of offerings allow our customers to consolidate their supply chain and product development needs through the ability to source through a single manufacturing supplier. Fathom’s manufacturing technologies and capacity are further extended through the utilization of a selected group of highly qualified suppliers that specialize in injection molding and tooling and CNC machining.

We have experienced significant growth since inception both organically and through our successful and proven acquisition playbook, which is enabled by our proprietary software platform that allows for a streamlined integration of acquired companies. Over the past three years, we have successfully completed 13 acquisitions to bolster our operations and offerings. Fathom started as Midwest Composite Technologies, LLC ("MCT"), a leader in prototyping and low-volume services. Founded in 1984, MCT specialized in model making, industrial design, and rapid prototyping. Today, MCT serves companies through a variety of in-house additive manufacturing technologies, including 3D printing and processing, CNC machining, injection molding, and industrial design capabilities.

In September 2019, we acquired Kemeera, LLC to expand our additive, CNC machining, injection molding, and development and engineering services, as well as bring urethane casting capabilities. In December 2019, we acquired ICOMold, LLC ("ICOMold") to expand our injection molding capabilities and significantly enhance our customer experience by bringing in-house an interactive, automated quotation system capable of providing feedback in 30 seconds with an intuitive, customer-facing project management portal, which we have continued to develop and enhance. Our acquisition of ICOMold also expanded our capabilities into China.

In July 2020, we acquired Incodema, LLC and Newchem, LLC to expand our in-house manufacturing processes to include precision sheet metal engineering solutions, including a broad array of sheet metal cutting and forming solutions such as laser cutting, micro waterjet, specialty stamping, and photochemical etching, among others, for quick and complex, tight tolerance parts. In August 2020, we acquired GPI Prototype & Manufacturing Services, LLC ("GPI") to expand our additive manufacturing capabilities. GPI was one of the first metal additive manufacturing service providers in the U.S., bringing metallurgical expertise in-house and enabling the Company to produce metal parts with complex geometries for on-demand manufacturing applications. In December 2020, we acquired Dahlquist Machine, LLC to expand our precision machining capabilities with state-of-the-art CNC mills and lathes for high-speed precision machining of light metals, aluminum, and plastics. In December 2020, we also acquired Majestic Metals, LLC, further expanding our precision sheet metal fabrication capabilities. Further, in December 2020, we acquired Mark Two Engineering, LLC expanding our precision machining services and footprint in the medical device industry.

In February 2021, we acquired Summit Tooling, Inc. and Summit Plastics LLC, further expanding our plastic injection mold manufacturing capabilities. In April 2021, we acquired Centex Machine and Welding Inc. and Laser Manufacturing, Inc. to expand our high-precision manufacturing services specializing in CNC machining and medical device manufacturing. In April 2021, we also acquired Sureshot Precision, LLC (d/b/a Micropulse West) expanding our Electrical Discharge Machine (“EDM”) services, and CNC and manual machining capabilities. Further, in April 2021, we acquired Precision Process, LLC specializing in CNC machining, engineering support, and EDM services.

Factors Affecting the Comparability of our Results of Operations

As a result of a number of factors, our historical results of operations are not comparable from period to period and may not be comparable to our financial results of operations in future periods. Set forth below is a brief discussion of the key factors that may impact the comparability of our results of operations in future periods.

Impact of the Business Combination

Fathom is subject to corporate level tax rates at the federal, state and local levels. Fathom OpCo was and is treated as a flow-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and as such, has generally not been subject to U.S. federal income tax at the entity level. Accordingly, other than for certain consolidated subsidiaries of the Predecessor that are structured as corporations and unless otherwise specified, the historical results of operations and other financial information of the Predecessor presented does not include any provision for U.S. federal income tax.

Fathom pays U.S. federal and state income taxes as a corporation on its share of our taxable income. The Business Combination was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities, including any identified intangible assets, were recorded at their preliminary fair values at the date of completion of the Business Combination, with any excess of the purchase price over the preliminary fair value recorded as goodwill. The application of business combination accounting required the use of significant estimates and assumptions.

As a result of the application of accounting for the Business Combination, the historical consolidated financial statements of Fathom OpCo are not necessarily indicative of the Fathom's future results of operations, financial position and cash flows. For example, increased tangible and intangible assets resulting from adjusting the basis of tangible and intangible assets to their fair value would result in increased depreciation and amortization expense in the periods following the consummation of the Business Combination.

In connection with the Business Combination, we entered into a Tax Receivable Agreement (“TRA”) with certain of our pre-Business Combination owners that provides for the payment by Fathom to such owners of 85% of the benefits that Fathom is deemed to realize as a result of the Company’s share of existing tax basis acquired in the Business Combination and other tax benefits related to entering into the TRA.

Additionally, in connection with the Business Combination, we have accounted for the issuance of warrants and earnout shares as liabilities which require re-measurement to fair value at the end of each reporting period, as applicable, and adopted the Fathom 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan which will result in higher share-based compensation expenses.

Impact of Becoming a Public Company

We expect to continue to incur additional costs associated with operating as a public company, including human resources, legal, consulting, regulatory, insurance, accounting, investor relations and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act and rules adopted by the SEC require public companies to implement specified corporate governance practices that are not applicable to a private company. These additional rules and regulations increased our legal, regulatory and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costly.

Key Factors Affecting Our Results

Our financial position and results of operations depend to a significant extent on the following factors:

Industry Opportunity and Competitive Landscape

The market in which we operate is projected to grow from $25 billion in 2021 to $33 billion in 2025, fueled by growth in demand for additive manufacturing and continuing trends in customer outsourcing of production needs. We operate in a large, fragmented, and competitive industry, competing for customers with a range of digital manufacturers, digital manufacturing brokers, and regional design bureaus. We believe we are uniquely positioned as the only full-service outsourced solution built specifically to cater to the manufacturing needs of enterprise-level corporate customers. In particular, we believe we compare favorably to other industry participants on the basis of the following competitive factors:


	•		Fathom offers a wide breadth of advanced manufacturing processes, including additive 2.0 and emerging technologies;


	•		We have a proven track record of serving blue-chip, enterprise-level corporate customers;


	•		We offer our clients turnaround times in as little as 24-hours, nationwide;


	•		Our unified digital customer experience supplemented by with embedded support teams;


	•		Fathom provides the industry’s only team of dedicated customer-facing engineers, unlocking the broadest parts envelope and providing customers with high-value customized parts;


	•		Our list of certifications validates our capabilities and precision (tight tolerances, handling of sensitive client data, etc.);


	•		We possess a wealth of material expertise, technical design capabilities, and engineering resources which we leverage to deliver superior customer results regardless of manufacturing process and production material; and


	•		Our successful and proven acquisition integration playbook for strategic growth opportunities.

Customer Product Life Cycle and Connectivity

We believe that a number of trends affecting our industry have affected our results of operations and may continue to do so. For example, we believe that many of our target customers are facing three mega trends which are disrupting long-term product growth models including (i) increased pressure to shorten product life-cycles, (ii) the demand for manufactured parts on-demand, and (iii) expectation to deliver products that are personalized and customized to unique customer specifications. We believe we continue to be well positioned to benefit from these trends given our proprietary technology alignment with Industry 4.0 trends that enables us to automate and integrate processes involved in manufacturing custom parts. The COVID-19 pandemic has also impacted the manufacturing environment. For example, the pandemic accelerated the digitization of manufacturing as companies pivoted to a work-from-home and socially-distanced manufacturing plant environment. As a result, the adoption of e-commerce was accelerated, which allows opportunity for us to provide valuable solutions to manufacturers looking to build resiliency in their supply chains through fast, on-demand manufacturers. While our business may be positively affected by these trends, our results may also be favorably or unfavorably impacted by other trends that affect product developer and engineer orders for custom parts in low volumes, including, among others, economic conditions, changes in product developer and engineer preferences or needs, developments in our industry and among our competitors, and developments in our customers’ industries. For a more complete discussion of the risks facing our business, see Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of our 2021 Form 10-K.

Manufacturing Facilities and Capacity

We believe our combined facilities are adequate for our development and production needs in the near future. Should we need to add space or transition into new facilities, we believe we have the ability to expand our footprint on commercially reasonable terms.

Impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic

The full extent of the impact and effects of the COVID-19 pandemic will depend on future developments, including, among other factors, the duration, spread and resurgences of the virus, including variants thereof, along with related travel advisories and restrictions, the recovery time of the disrupted supply chains and industries, the impact of labor market interruptions, the impact of government interventions, the pace, scope and efficacy of vaccination and booster programs, and general uncertainty as to the impact of COVID-19, including variants and resurgences, on the global economy.

Further discussion of the potential impacts on our business and results of operations from the COVID-19 pandemic is provided in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our 2021 Form 10-K.

Revenue

Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was $40,210 compared to $41,481 in the three months ended September 30, 2021, a decrease of 3.10%. The year-over-year decrease was primarily due to one-time COVID-19 deferred orders in our injection molding technology during the three months ended September 30, 2021.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2022 totaled $15,066 or 37.5% of revenue, compared to $14,900 or 35.9% of revenue, for the three months ended September 30, 2021, primarily driven by favorable pricing on materials.

Operating Expenses

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $11,960 and $10,681 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively. The $1,279, or 12.0%, increase in SG&A expenses was primarily driven by stock based compensation of $1,762 in the three months ended September 30, 2022 and by additional costs related to being a public company.

Depreciation and amortization expenses were $4,627 and $2,148 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively. The increase of $2,479 or 115.4%, was primarily driven by an increase in intangible assets related to the Business Combination resulting in amortization expenses associated with those assets.

Restructurings of $996 represents costs to consolidate our Oakland, CA facility into Fathom headquarters in Hartland, WI, facility, transition finance to a shared-service model, and consolidated a limited number of leadership roles, as announced in our reorganization plan on July 7, 2022. There were no restructuring charges for the three months ended September 30, 2021.

The goodwill impairment charge of $1,066,564 during the three months ended September 30, 2022, represents a write down of the carrying amount of goodwill based on a decrease in the Company's fair value based upon a quantitative assessment as noted in footnote 8. There was no goodwill impairment charge recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2021.

Operating Income (Loss)

Operating loss was $1,069,081 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and operating income was $2,071 for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The additional losses were primarily driven by the goodwill impairment charge, restructuring costs, additional costs related to being a public company, and additional amortization of the increased intangible assets related to the Business Combination.

Interest Expense and Other Expense (Income)

Interest expense was $2,406 and $4,376 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively. The decrease in interest expense is primarily due to lower debt at September 30, 2022 as compared to September 30, 2021 and lower interest rates under the New Credit Agreement.

Other expenses were $81 and $592 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively. The decrease in other expenses of $511 is due to fewer non-operating expenses in the business for the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Other income was $25,548 and $150 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively. The increase in other income of $25,633 represents the changes in fair value in the earnout share liabilities and the warrant liability during the three months ended September 30, 2022 of $18,080 and $7,400, respectively.

Income Taxes

We recorded income tax expense of $87 and $729 for the three months ending September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2022 the tax benefit was impacted by permanent difference with respect to gains and losses recorded on the Fathom earnout shares liability, sponsor earnout shares liability, and warrant liabilities. During the 2021 predecessor period, certain subsidiaries of Fathom OpCo which were previously held as corporations for U.S. federal tax purposes, were reorganized into flow-through entities in non-taxable transactions. As a result, deferred tax liabilities pertaining to the corporate subsidiaries were reversed as income tax benefits during the 2021 Predecessor Period.

The increase in other income of $85,556 represents the changes in fair value in the earnout share liabilities and the warrant liability during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 of $59,980 and $28,000, respectively.

Income Taxes

We recorded income tax expense of $167 and $807 for the nine months ending September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2022 the tax provision was impacted by permanent difference with respect to gains and losses recorded on the Fathom earnout shares liability, sponsor earnout shares liability, and warrant liabilities. The tax benefit was further impacted by discrete impacts related to the impairment of goodwill. During the 2021 predecessor period, certain subsidiaries of Fathom OpCo which were previously held as corporations for U.S. federal tax purposes, were reorganized into flow-through entities in non-taxable transactions. As a result, deferred tax liabilities pertaining to the corporate subsidiaries were reversed as income tax benefits during the 2021 Predecessor Period.

Non-GAAP Information

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA"), which are non-GAAP financial measures that we use to supplement our results presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA are useful in evaluating our operating performance, as they are similar to measures reported by our public competitors and regularly used by securities analysts, institutional investors and other interested parties in analyzing operating performance and prospects. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA are not intended to be a substitute for any GAAP financial measure and, as calculated by us, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of performance of other companies within our industry or in other industries. These non-GAAP financial measures supplement and should be considered in addition to and not in lieu of our, GAAP results.

We include these non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by management to evaluate Fathom’s core operating performance and trends and to make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital and new investments. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA exclude certain expenses that are required in accordance with GAAP because they are non-recurring (for example, in the case of transaction-related costs), non-cash (for example, in the case of depreciation and amortization) or are not related to our underlying business performance (for example, in the case of interest income and expense).

Adjusted Net Income (Loss)

We define and calculate Adjusted Net Income (Loss) as net loss before the impact of any increase or decrease in the estimated fair value of the Company’s warrants and earnout shares as well as transaction-related costs and certain other non-cash and non-core items.

The table below presents our Adjusted Net Income (Loss) reconciled to our net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP measure, for the periods indicated:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We measure liquidity in terms of our ability to fund the cash requirements of our business operations, including working capital and capital expenditure needs, contractual obligations and other commitments, with cash flows from operations and other sources of funding. Our current working capital needs relate mainly to our growth strategies, including business combination activity, capital equipment investments, and business development efforts, as well as compensation and benefits of our employees. In addition, under our New Credit Agreement, the Company is subject to various financial covenants, including quarterly net leverage and interest coverage covenants. As of September 30, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all covenant requirements. Our ability to expand and grow our business will depend on many factors, including our working capital needs and the evolution of our operating cash flows.

We had $8,004 in cash as of September 30, 2022. We believe our operating cash flows, together with amounts available under the New Credit Agreement and our cash on hand will be sufficient to meet our anticipated working capital and capital expenditure requirements during the next 12 months.

We may, however, need additional cash resources due to changed business conditions or other developments, including unanticipated regulatory developments, significant acquisitions and competitive pressures. We expect our capital expenditures and working capital requirements to continue to increase in the immediate future, as we seek to expand our product offerings across more of the U.S. Our capital expenditures in 2021 of $9.0 million equaled approximately 6.0% of annual revenue We believe that our annual future growth capital expenditures, excluding any expenditures for buildings and maintenance capital we might purchase for our operations, are likely to be approximately 6.9% of annual revenue. To the extent that our current resources are insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, we may need to seek additional equity or debt financing. If the needed financing is not available, or if the terms of financing are less desirable than we expect, we may be forced to decrease our level of investment in new product launches and related marketing initiatives or to scale back our existing operations, which could have an adverse impact on our business and financial prospects. See Note 3—Business Combination with Fathom OpCo in the notes to our unaudited consolidated financial statements for further information.

Borrowings and Lines of Credit

On December 23, 2021, the Company entered into the New Credit Agreement, which included a $50.0 million revolving credit facility and a $125.0 million term loan. The Company's borrowings under the revolving credit facility were $27,000 at September 30, 2022. The loans obtained under the New Credit Agreement will mature in December 2026.

The Amendment also replaces the Adjusted LIBO Rate (e.g., LIBO Rate multiplied by the then applicable statutory reserve rate per annum), plus a range of applicable margins, as an interest election under the Amended Credit Agreement, with Term SOFR plus 0.10% (“Adjusted Term SOFR”) per annum and Daily Simple SOFR plus 0.10% per annum, as applicable, in each case plus an applicable margin adjustment ranging from 2.25% to 3.75% based on the Company’s most recent net leverage ratio calculation as of the applicable interest determination date.

In connection with the preparation and execution of the Amendment, the Company paid customary arranger and lender consent fees, and reasonable and documented expenses of the Administrative Agent.

The foregoing description of the Amendment and the Amended Credit Agreement is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment and the Amended Credit Agreement, which is attached to this Quarterly Report as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

The Company recorded deferred financing costs of $69 and $299, respectively for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 in conjunction with the New Credit Agreement and the applicable principal balances are presented within Long-Term debt, net on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company amortizes the deferred financing costs using the effective interest method.

Tax Receivable Agreement

In connection with the Business Combination, we entered into the TRA with certain of our pre-Business Combination owners that provides for the payment by Fathom to such owners of 85% of the benefits that Fathom is deemed to realize as a result of the Company’s share of existing tax basis acquired in the Business Combination and other tax benefits related to entering into the TRA.

Cash Flow Analysis


	Nine Months Ended
(dollars in thousands)	September 30, 2022 (Successor)			September 30, 2021 (Predecessor)
Net cash provided by (used in) :
Operating Activities	$	6,496		$	1,737
Investing Activities		(10,953	)		(74,076	)
Financing Activities		(7,896	)		74,682
Net Change in Cash and Cash Equivalents	$	(12,353	)	$	2,343

Operating Activities

Net cash provided from operating activities was $6,496 and $1,737 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively. The increase of $4,759 is primarily driven by increased revenue.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities of $10,953 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 represents capital expenditures. Cash used in investing activities of $74,076 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 represents the cash used in the acquisitions of Summit Tooling Inc., and Summit Plastics, LLC, Precision Process Corp., Centex Machine and Welding, Inc. and Laser Manufacturing, Inc., and Sureshot Precision, LLC of $67,428 in the aggregate and capital expenditures of $6,648.

Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities of $7,896 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was due to payments made on the term loan of $2,344, contingent consideration of $2,750, and tax payments for shares held in lieu of taxes of $2,566. Cash provided by financing activities of $74,682 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily due to debt proceeds of $183,500 for the acquisitions, partially offset by payments on debt of $104,091.

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates

Preparation of our financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We believe that the most complex and sensitive judgments, because of their potential significance to the unaudited consolidated financial statements, result primarily from the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain and are described subsequently. Actual results could differ from management’s estimates.

Business Combinations

We account for business acquisitions in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 805, Business Combinations ("ASC 805"). We measure the cost of an acquisition as the aggregate of the acquisition date fair values of the assets transferred and liabilities assumed and equity instruments issued. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition are expensed as incurred. We record goodwill for the excess of (i) the total costs of acquisition, fair value of any non-controlling interests and acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest in the acquired business over (ii) the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the acquired business.

The acquisition method of accounting requires us to exercise judgment and make estimates and assumptions based on available information regarding the fair values of the elements of a business combination as of the date of acquisition, including the fair values of identifiable intangible assets, deferred tax asset valuation allowances, liabilities related to uncertain tax positions and contingencies. We must also refine these estimates over a one-year measurement period, to reflect any new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the measurement of the amounts recognized as of that date. If we are required to retroactively adjust provisional amounts that we have recorded for the fair value of assets and liabilities in connection with an acquisition, these adjustments could materially impact our results of operations and financial position. Estimates and assumptions that we must make in estimating the fair value of future acquired technology, user lists and other identifiable intangible assets include future cash flows that we expect to generate from the acquired assets. If the subsequent actual results and updated projections of the underlying business activity change compared with the assumptions and projections used to develop these values, we could record impairment charges. In addition, we have estimated the economic lives of certain acquired assets and these lives are used to calculate depreciation and amortization expense. If our estimates of the economic lives change, depreciation or amortization expenses could be accelerated or slowed, which could materially impact our results of operations.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

We recognize goodwill in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other ("ASC 350"). Goodwill is the excess of cost of an acquired entity over the fair value amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Goodwill is not amortized.

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually in the fourth quarter of each year and is tested for impairment between annual tests whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. In addition, an impairment evaluation of our amortizable intangible assets may also be performed if events or circumstances indicate potential impairment. Among the factors that could trigger an impairment review are current operating results that do not align with our annual plan or historical performance; changes in our strategic plans or the use of our assets; restructuring charges or other changes in our business segments; competitive pressures and changes in the general economy or in the markets in which we operate; and a significant decline in our stock price and our market capitalization relative to our net book value. An impairment charge for goodwill is recognized only when the estimated fair value of a reporting unit, including goodwill, is less than its carrying amount. As of September 30, 2022, a quantitative interim goodwill impairment assessment was performed due to further sustained declines in the Company’s stock price in the three months ended September 30, 2022. The Company determined that the estimated fair value of the reporting unit was less than its carrying amount. The Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $1,066,564 in the unaudited consolidated statements of comprehensive loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Evaluating the recoverability of goodwill requires judgments and assumptions regarding future trends and events. As a result, both the precision and reliability of our estimates are subject to uncertainty. Among the factors that we consider in our qualitative assessment are general economic conditions and the competitive environment; actual and projected reporting unit financial performance; forward-looking business measurements; and external market assessments. To determine the fair values of our reporting unit for a quantitative analysis, we typically utilize detailed financial projections, which include significant variables, such as projected rates of revenue growth, profitability and cash flows, as well as assumptions regarding discount rates, the Company’s weighted average cost of capital and other data.

We recognize amortizable intangibles assets in accordance with ASC 350. Acquired intangible assets subject to amortization are stated at cost and are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Intangible assets that are subject to amortization are reviewed for potential impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Assets not subject to amortization are tested for impairment at least annually. As of September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, no impairment charges for amortizable intangible assets have been recognized.

The estimates of fair value are based on the best information available as of the date of the assessment, which primarily incorporates management assumptions about expected future cash flows. Although our amortizable intangible assets are not currently impaired, there can be no assurance that future impairments will not occur. See Note 3—Business Combination with Fathom OpCo, and Note 8—Goodwill and Intangible Assets, net in the accompanying notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for more information.

Revenue Recognition from Contracts with Customers

Most of the Company’s revenue has one performance obligation and is recognized on a point-in-time basis upon shipment. The majority of the Company’s injection molding contracts have multiple performance obligations including one obligation to produce the mold and sample part and a second obligation to produce production parts. For injection molding contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates revenue to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price and recognizes revenue for each performance obligation on a point-in-time basis upon shipment. We generally determine standalone selling price based on the price charged to customers. The Company’s payments terms are consistent with industry standards and never exceed 12 months.

Contingent Liabilities

Our contingent liabilities, which are included within the “Other non-current liabilities” caption on our consolidated balance sheets, are uncertain by nature and their estimation requires significant management judgment as to the probability and estimation of the amount of liability. These contingencies include, but may not be limited to, the warrants, TRA liabilities, earnout shares, litigation, and management’s evaluation of complex laws and regulations, including those relating to indirect taxes, and the extent to which they may apply to our business and industry. See Note 18 —Fair Value Measurement and Note 20 — Commitments and Contingencies in the accompanying notes to our unaudited consolidated financial statements for more information.

We regularly review our contingencies to determine whether the likelihood of a liability is probable and to assess whether a reasonable estimate of the liability can be made. Determination of whether a liability estimate can be made is a complex undertaking that considers the judgement of management, third-party research, the prospect of negotiation and interpretations by regulators and courts, among other information. When liabilities can be reasonably estimated, an estimated contingent liability is recorded. We continually reevaluate our indirect tax and other positions for appropriateness.

Earnout Shares Liabilities and Warrant Liability

The fair values of the Sponsor earnout shares liability, Fathom earnout shares liability, and Warrants liability were determined using Monte Carlo simulations that have various significant unobservable inputs. The assumptions used could have a material impact on the valuation of these liabilities, and include our best estimate of expected volatility, expected holding periods and appropriate discounts for lack of marketability. Changes in the estimated fair values of these liabilities may have material impacts on our results of operations in any given period, as any increases in these liabilities have a corresponding negative impact on our U.S. GAAP results of operations in the period in which the changes occur. See Note 3 — Business Combination with Fathom OpCo and Note 10 — Warrant Liability in the accompanying notes to our unaudited consolidated financial statements for more information.

Impact of Changes in Accounting on Recent and Future Trends

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) Section A - Leases: Amendments to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification which the company adopted in the first quarter of 2022. See Note 2 — Basis of Presentation and Note 16 — Leases in the accompanying notes to our unaudited consolidated financial statements for more information.

Emerging Growth Company Accounting Election

Section 102(b)(1) of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (“JOBS Act”) exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can choose not to take advantage of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies, and any such election to not take advantage of the extended transition period is irrevocable. Altimar II was an emerging growth company as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and has elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Fathom is expected to remain an emerging growth company at least through the end of the 2022 and is expected to continue to take advantage of the benefits of the extended transition period. This may make it difficult or impossible to compare Fathom financial results with the financial results of another public company that is either not an emerging growth company or is an emerging growth company that has chosen not to take advantage of the extended transition period exemptions for emerging growth companies because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk, see Item 7A. "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" of our 2021 Form 10-K. Our exposures to market risk have not changed materially since December 31, 2021.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed pursuant to the Exchange Act is properly and timely reported and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As reported in “Item 4. Controls and Procedures” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, management performed its evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2021. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2021, our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective to the extent of the material weaknesses described below:

•

Our Information Technology General Controls (“ITGC”) intended to restrict access to data and applications were not adequate resulting in inappropriate access and improper segregation of duties at both the system (pervasive) and end user levels across multiple applications. The Company did not maintain a fully integrated financial consolidation and reporting system, and as a result, extensive manual analyses, reconciliations, and adjustments were required in order to produce materially correct financial statements for external reporting purposes;

•

A comprehensive system of formal policies, procedures and controls has not been fully designed or implemented to ensure appropriate document retention and achieve complete, accurate and timely financial accounting, reporting and disclosures. Additionally, we did not design and maintain controls over the determination of appropriate cut-off, classification and presentation of accounts and disclosures in the financial statements; and

•

We did not design or maintain an effective control environment commensurate with our financial reporting requirements. We lacked a sufficient number of professionals with an appropriate level of accounting knowledge, training and experience to appropriately analyze, record and disclose accounting matters timely and accurately.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim consolidated financial statements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Following the identification of the foregoing material weaknesses, our management established and commenced implementation of a remediation plan, as more fully described under “Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting” below. The implementation of this remediation plan is ongoing.

We have further evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2022 with the participation and under the supervision of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer. In this evaluation, our management did not identify any material weaknesses in addition to those identified in its evaluation as of December 31, 2021. Based on this latest evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective to the extent of the material weaknesses described above.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2022 covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Management has identified the material weaknesses in our internal controls as noted above under "Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures."

Management is working to remediate the material weaknesses by hiring additional qualified accounting and financial reporting personnel, implementing an advanced Enterprise Resource Planning ("ERP") system, improving contract terms and support for revenue recognition, and further evolving our accounting processes. We may not be able to fully remediate these material weaknesses until these steps have been completed and have been operating effectively for a sufficient period of time. We cannot assure you that the measures we have taken to date and plan to take will be sufficient to remediate the material weaknesses we identified or avoid the identification of additional material weaknesses in the future. If we are not able to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, our financial statements and related disclosures may be inaccurate, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and our stock price.

In light of the material weakness described above, we performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures to ensure our financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, we believe that the consolidated financial statements included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

We may from time to time be involved in litigation and claims incidental to the conduct of our business. We are not currently subject to any pending legal (including judicial, regulatory, administrative or arbitration) proceedings that we expect to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. However, given the inherent unpredictability of these types of proceedings and the potentially large and/or indeterminate amounts that could be sought, an adverse outcome in certain matters could have a material effect on Fathom's financial results in any particular period. See Note 20 "Commitments and Contingencies" to our unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Some factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those results in this report are described as risks in our 2021 Form 10-K. Any of these factors could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. As of the date of this report, there have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in our 2021 Form 10-K. We may, however, disclose changes to such factors or disclose additional factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.

EXECUTION VERSION

FIRST AMENDMENT dated as of November 10, 2022 (this “Amendment”), to the Credit Agreement dated as of December 23, 2021 (as in effect prior to giving effect to this Amendment, the “Existing Credit Agreement”), among FATHOM GUARANTOR, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, FATHOM MANUFACTURING, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Borrower”), the LENDERS from time to time party thereto and JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., as Administrative Agent.

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement, the Lenders have extended credit to the Borrower pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein;

WHEREAS, the Borrower hereby requests that the Lenders waive, and the Required Lenders are willing to waive, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Amended Credit Agreement (as defined below), any Default or Event of Default that may have occurred under the Existing Credit Agreement and prior to the effectiveness of this Amendment due to the Net Leverage Ratio as of the last day of the fiscal quarter of Holdings ended on September 30, 2022 being in excess of the maximum Net Leverage Ratio permitted under Section 6.11 of the Existing Credit Agreement as of the last day of such fiscal quarter of Holdings (the “Waived Default”); and

WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and Issuing Banks whose signatures appear below, which constitute all of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks party to the Existing Credit Agreement, have agreed, to make certain amendments to the Existing Credit Agreement (the Existing Credit Agreement, as so amended, is referred to as the “Amended Credit Agreement”; the Existing Credit Agreement and the Amended Credit Agreement are sometimes collectively referred to as the “Credit Agreement”), including to replace the LIBO Rate with Term SOFR as the available benchmark, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Amended Credit Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein (including in the preliminary statements hereto) have the meanings assigned to them in the Amended Credit Agreement. The rules of construction specified in Section 1.02 of the Credit Agreement also apply to this Amendment, mutatis mutandis.

SECTION 2. Waiver. In reliance upon the representations and warranties set in Section 4 hereof, and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions to effectiveness set forth in Section 5 hereof, as of the First Amendment Effective Date (as defined below), each Lender party hereto hereby irrevocably and forever waives the Waived Default, including all rights and remedies of each Lender under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to the Waived Default, with such waiver having retroactive

[[5947710]]

effect to the date on which the applicable Default or Event of Default occurred or may have occurred; it being understood and agreed that, notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary set forth herein, immediately following the effectiveness of this Amendment, the Borrower shall be required to have been in compliance with Section 6.11 of the Amended Credit Agreement as of the last day of the fiscal quarter of Holdings ended on September 30, 2022 and no waiver with respect thereto shall be effective or otherwise deemed to have been granted hereby.

SECTION 3. Amendments to the Existing Credit Agreement. Effective as of the First Amendment Effective Date:

(a)

The Existing Credit Agreement (excluding, except as set forth below, the Schedules and Exhibits thereto, each of which shall, except as set forth below, remain as in effect immediately prior to the First Amendment Effective Date) is hereby amended by deleting the red or green stricken text (indicated textually in the same manner as the following example: stricken text and stricken text) and adding the blue or green single-underlined text (indicated textually in the same manner as the following example: single-underlined text or single-underlined text), in each case, as set forth in the marked copy of the Credit Agreement attached as Annex I hereto.

(b)

Each of Exhibits B-1, D and I to the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to be in the form of Exhibits B-1, D and I hereto, respectively.

(c)

(ii) if still outstanding on the date of the expiration of such Interest Period, shall be converted into a Term SOFR Loan or an ABR Loan in accordance with Section 2.07 of the Amended Credit Agreement. From and after the First Amendment Effective Date, each Existing Eurodollar Loan may be converted into a Term SOFR Loan or an ABR Loan in accordance with Section 2.07 of the Amended Credit Agreement as if such Existing Eurodollar Loan were a Term SOFR Loan.

SECTION 4. Representations and Warranties. Each of Holdings and the Borrower represents and warrants to the other parties hereto that:

(a)

This Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by each of the Loan Parties and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan

[[5947710]]

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any reference in this Agreement to any Loan Document shall mean such document as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature shall be construed in accordance with GAAP, as in effect from time to time; provided that, if the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent that the Borrower requests an amendment to any provision hereof to eliminate the effect of any change occurring after the Effective Date in GAAP or in the application thereof on the operation of such provision (or if the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that the Required Lenders request an amendment to any provision hereof for such purpose), regardless of whether any such notice is given before or after such change in GAAP or in the application thereof, then such provision shall be interpreted on the basis of GAAP as in effect and applied immediately before such change shall have become effective until such notice shall have been withdrawn or such provision amended in accordance herewith; provided further that, notwithstanding the foregoing, upon and following the acquisition of any business or new Subsidiary in accordance with this Agreement, in each case that would not constitute a “significant subsidiary” for purposes of Regulation S-X, financial items and information with respect to such newly-acquired business or Subsidiary that are required to be included in determining any financial calculations and other financial ratios contained herein for any period prior to such acquisition shall not be required to be in accordance with GAAP so long as the Borrower is able to reasonably estimate pro forma adjustments in respect of such acquisition for such prior periods, and in each case such estimates are made in good faith and are factually supportable.

[[5947695]]

times be valued at the full stated principal amount thereof and (c) any change to GAAP occurring after December 31, 2017, as a result of the adoption of any proposals set forth in the Proposed Accounting Standards Update, Leases (Topic 842), issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board on May 16, 2013, or any other proposals issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board in connection therewith, in each case if such change would require treating any lease (or similar arrangement conveying the right to use) as a Capital Lease Obligation (or a finance lease) where such lease (or similar arrangement) was not required to be so treated under GAAP as in effect on December 31, 2017. Any reference herein to a merger, transfer, consolidation, amalgamation, assignment, sale, disposition or transfer, or similar term, shall be deemed to apply to a division of or by a limited liability company, or an allocation of assets to a series of a limited liability company (or the unwinding of such a division or allocation), as if it were a merger, transfer, consolidation, amalgamation, assignment, sale, disposition or transfer, or similar term, as applicable, to, of or with a separate Person.

In the event that the Borrower or any other Loan Party shall at any time issue or have outstanding any Subordinated Indebtedness, the Borrower shall take or cause such other Loan Party to take all such actions as shall be necessary to cause the Secured Obligations to constitute senior indebtedness (however denominated) in respect of such Subordinated Indebtedness and to enable the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to have and exercise any payment blockage or other remedies available or potentially available to holders of senior indebtedness under the terms of such Subordinated Indebtedness. Without limiting the foregoing, the Secured Obligations are hereby designated as “senior indebtedness” and as “designated senior indebtedness” and words of similar import under and in respect of any indenture or other agreement or instrument under which such Subordinated Indebtedness is outstanding and are further given all such other designations as shall be required under the terms of any such Subordinated Indebtedness in order that the Lenders may have and exercise any payment blockage or other remedies available or potentially available to holders of senior indebtedness under the terms of such Subordinated Indebtedness.

SECTION 1.05. Interest Rates; LIBORBenchmark Notification. The interest rate on a Loan may be derived from an interest rate benchmark that may be discontinued or is, or may in the future become, the subject of regulatory reform. Regulators have signaled the need to use alternative benchmark reference rates for some of these interest rate benchmarks and, as a result, such interest rate benchmarks may cease to comply with applicable laws and regulations, may be permanently discontinued, and/or the basis on which they are calculated may change. The London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. On March 5, 2021, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) publicly announced that: (a) immediately after December 31, 2021, publication of the one-week and two-month Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease, immediately after June 30, 2023, publication of the overnight and 12-month Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease and immediately after June 30, 2023, the one-month, three-month and six-month Dollar LIBOR settings will cease to be provided or, subject to the FCA’s consideration of the case, be provided on a synthetic basis and no longer be representative of the underlying market and economic reality they are intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored. There is no assurance that dates announced by the FCA will not change or that the administrator of LIBOR and/or regulators will not take further action that could impact the availability, composition or characteristics of LIBOR or the currencies and/or tenors for which LIBOR

[[5947695]]

is published. Each party to this agreement should consult its own advisors to stay informed of any such developments. Public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of LIBOR. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event, an Early Opt-In Election or an Other Benchmark Rate Election, SectionsSection 2.14(b)(i) and 2.14(b)(ii) provide provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower, pursuant to Section 2.14(b)(iv), of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on Eurodollar Loans is based. However, the Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission, performance or any other matter related to LIBOR or other rates in the definition of the term “LIBO Rate”any interest rate used in this Agreement, or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof including (i) any such alternative, successor or replacement rate implemented pursuant to Section 2.14 (b)(i) or 2.14(b)(ii), whether upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event, an Early Opt-In Election or an Other Benchmark Rate Election, and (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes pursuant to Section 2.14(b)(iii), including whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the LIBO Rateexisting interest rate being replaced or have the same volume or liquidity as did LIBORany existing interest rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates and/or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of any interest rate used in this Agreement or any alternative, successor or alternative rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) and/or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrower. The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain any interest rate used in this Agreement, any component thereof, or rates referenced in the definition thereof, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.

SECTION 1.06. Leverage Ratios. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, for purposes of calculating any leverage ratio herein in connection with the incurrence of any Indebtedness, (a) there shall be no netting of the cash proceeds proposed to be received in connection with the incurrence of such Indebtedness and (b) to the extent the Indebtedness to be incurred is revolving Indebtedness, such incurred revolving Indebtedness (or if applicable, the portion (and only such portion) of the increased commitments thereunder) shall be treated as fully drawn.

SECTION 1.07. Divisions. For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person, and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized and acquired on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Equity Interests at such time.

SECTION 1.08. Negative Covenant Compliance. For purposes of determining whether the Borrower and the Subsidiaries comply with any exception to Article VI (other than Sections 6.10 and 6.11) where compliance with any such exception is based on a financial ratio or metric being satisfied as of a particular point in time, it is understood that (a) compliance shall be measured at the time when the relevant event is undertaken, as such financial ratios and metrics are intended to be “incurrence” tests and

[[5947695]]

not “maintenance” tests, and (b) correspondingly, any such ratio and metric shall only prohibit the Borrower and the Subsidiaries from creating, incurring, assuming, suffering to exist or making, as the case may be, any new, for example, Liens, Indebtedness or Investments, but shall not result in any previously permitted, for example, Liens, Indebtedness or Investments ceasing to be permitted hereunder. For avoidance of doubt, with respect to determining whether the Borrower and the Subsidiaries comply with any negative covenant in Article VI (other than Sections 6.10 and 6.11), to the extent that any obligation or transaction could be attributable to more than one exception to any such negative covenant, the Borrower may elect at the time of the making thereof to categorize all or any portion of such obligation or transaction to any one or more exceptions to such negative covenant that permit such obligation or transaction.

Each Revolving Facility Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Revolving Facility Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Facility Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph (c), and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Borrower (or other party on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Facility Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the Swingline Lender or to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.

(d)

The Swingline Lender may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Swingline Lender and the successor Swingline Lender. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the Swingline Lender. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid interest accrued for the account of the replaced Swingline Lender pursuant to Section 2.13(a). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Swingline Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of the replaced Swingline Lender under this Agreement with respect to Swingline Loans made thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Swingline Lender” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Swingline Lender, or to such successor and all previous Swingline Lenders, as the context shall require. After the replacement of a Swingline Lender hereunder, the replaced Swingline Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of a Swingline Lender under this Agreement with respect to Swingline Loans made by it prior to its replacement, but shall not be required to make additional Swingline Loans.

(e)

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Swingline Lender, the Swingline Lender may resign as a Swingline Lender at any time upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders, in which case, such Swingline Lender shall be replaced in accordance with Section 2.04(d) above.

SECTION 2.05. Letters of Credit.

(a)

General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars for its own account or for the account of any Subsidiary of the Borrower in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Revolving Facility Availability Period and prior to the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date. The Borrower unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that, in connection with any Letter of Credit issued for the account of any Subsidiary as provided in the first sentence of this paragraph, the Borrower will be fully responsible for the reimbursement of L/C Disbursements in accordance with the terms hereof, the payment of interest thereon

[[5947695]]

and the payment of fees due under Section 2.12(b) to the same extent as if it were the sole account party in respect of such Letter of Credit (the Borrower hereby irrevocably waiving any defenses that might otherwise be available to it as a guarantor or surety of the obligations of such a Subsidiary that is an account party in respect of any such Letter of Credit). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Issuing Bank shall have no obligation hereunder to issue, and shall not issue, any Letter of Credit (i) the proceeds of which would be made available to any Person (A) to fund any activity or business of or with any Sanctioned Person, or in any country or territory that, at the time of such funding, is the subject of any Sanctions, except to the extent permitted for a Person required to comply with Sanctions, (B) in any manner that would result in a violation of any Sanctions by any party to this Agreement or (C) in any manner that would result in a violation of one or more policies of the Issuing Bank applicable to letters of credit generally or (ii) if any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit or request that such Issuing Bank refrain from issuing such Letter of Credit, or if any law applicable to such Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or require that such Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular, or if any such order, judgment or decree, or law shall impose upon such Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital or liquidity requirement (for which such Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Effective Date, or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense that was not applicable on the Effective Date and that such Issuing Bank in good faith deems material to it.

(b)

Notice of Issuance, Amendment or Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment or extension (other than an automatic extension in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section 2.05) of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or fax (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Issuing Bank) to the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (two (2) Business Days in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section 2.05), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to issue, amend or extend such Letter of Credit. In addition, as a condition to any such Letter of Credit issuance, the Borrower shall have entered into a continuing agreement (or other letter of credit agreement) for the issuance of letters of credit and/or shall submit a letter of credit application, in each case, as required by the Issuing Bank and using the Issuing Bank’s standard form (each, including all letter of credit applications and other agreements relating the Letters of Credit, a “Letter of Credit Agreement”). In the event of any inconsistencyconflict between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any Letter of Credit Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment or extension, (i) the Revolving L/C Exposure shall not exceed U.S.$5,000,000,

(ii) the Total Revolving Facility Credit Exposures shall not exceed the total Revolving Facility Commitments and (iii) each Lender’s Revolving Facility Credit Exposure shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Facility Commitment. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein, no Issuing Bank shall be obligated to issue or modify any Letter of Credit if, immediately after giving effect thereto, the outstanding Revolving L/C Exposure in respect of all Letters of Credit issued by such Person and its Affiliates would exceed such Issuing Bank’s L/C Sublimit. Without limiting the foregoing and without affecting the limitations contained herein, it is understood and agreed that the Borrower may from time to time request that an Issuing Bank issue Letters of Credit in excess of its individual L/C Sublimit in effect at the time of such request, and each Issuing Bank agrees to consider any such request in good faith. Any Letter of Credit so issued by an Issuing Bank in excess of its individual L/C

[[5947695]]

Sublimit then in effect shall nonetheless constitute a Letter of Credit for all purposes of the Credit Agreement, and shall not affect the L/C Sublimit of any other Issuing Bank, subject to the limitations on the aggregate Revolving L/C Exposure set forth in clause (i) of this Section 2.05(b).

(c)

Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire (or be subject to termination by notice from the Issuing Bank to the beneficiary thereof) at or prior to the close of business on the date specified by the Borrower in its request therefor, which date shall be no later than the earlier of (i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any extension thereof, 12 months after such extension) or such longer period of time as may be agreed by the applicable Issuing Bank and (ii) unless cash collateralized or backstopped pursuant to arrangements reasonably acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank, the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date; provided that any Letter of Credit may provide for automatic extension thereof for additional periods of up to 12 months or such longer period of time as may be agreed by the applicable Issuing Bank (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph (c)).

(d)

Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount or extending the term thereof) and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank or the Revolving Facility Lenders, the Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Revolving Facility Lender, and each Revolving Facility Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Revolving Facility Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Facility Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent in Dollars, for the account of the Issuing Bank, such Revolving Facility Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of each L/C Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section 2.05, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason, including after the Maturity Date. Each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Revolving Facility Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments.

(e)

Reimbursement. If the Issuing Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent in Dollars an amount equal to such L/C Disbursement not later than 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date that such L/C Disbursement is made, if the Borrower shall have received notice of such L/C Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by the Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt; provided that the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 or 2.04 that such payment be financed with an ABR Revolving Facility Borrowing or, a Swingline Borrowing or, a EurodollarTerm SOFR Revolving LoanFacility Borrowing or, if applicable pursuant to Section 2.14, a Daily Simple SOFR Revolving Facility Borrowing in the amount of such L/C Disbursement and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Facility Borrowing or, Swingline Borrowing or Eurodollar, Term SOFR Revolving Facility Borrowing or Daily Simple SOFR Revolving LoanFacility Borrowing, as applicable. If the Borrower fails to reimburse any L/C Disbursement when due, then the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Issuing Bank and each other Revolving Facility Lender of the applicable L/C Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower and, in the case of a Revolving Facility Lender, such Lender’s

[[5947695]]

Revolving Facility Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Revolving Facility Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent in Dollars, its Revolving Facility Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Facility Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank in Dollars, the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Facility Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolving Facility Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and the Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Facility Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any L/C Disbursement (other than the funding of an ABR Revolving Loan orFacility Borrowing, a Swingline Borrowing, a Term SOFR Revolving Facility Borrowing or a EurodollarDaily Simple SOFR Revolving LoanFacility Borrowing as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such L/C Disbursement.

(f)

Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse L/C Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section 2.05 shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit, any Letter of Credit Agreement or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein or herein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) any payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.05, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder; provided that, in each case, payment by the Issuing Bank shall not have constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined in a final and nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction). Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor the Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, document, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been caused by (i) the Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof or (ii) the Issuing Bank’s refusal to issue a Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as determined in a final and nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination and each refusal to issue a Letter of Credit. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to

[[5947695]]

accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(g)

Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank for any Letter of Credit shall, within the time allowed by applicable law or the specific terms of the Letter of Credit following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under such Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall promptly after such examination notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed by fax or electronic mail) of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has made or will make a L/C Disbursement thereunder; provided that such notice need not be given prior to payment by the Issuing Bank and any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank and the Revolving Facility Lenders with respect to any such L/C Disbursement.

(h)

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

(i)

Replacement of the Issuing Bank. (i) The Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12. From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (A) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the replaced Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (B) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of the Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit then outstanding and issued by it prior to such replacement but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit or extend or otherwise amend any existing Letter of Credit.

(ii) Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Issuing Bank, the Issuing Bank may resign as the Issuing Bank at any time upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders, in which case, the resigning Issuing Bank shall be replaced in accordance with Section 2.05(i)(i) above.

(j)

Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, (i) in the case of an Event of Default described in Section 7.01(h) or 7.01(i), on the Business Day or (ii) in the case of any other Event of Default, on the third (3rd) Business Day, in each case, following the date on

[[5947695]]

which the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Revolving Facility Lenders with Revolving L/C Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total Revolving L/C Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall deposit in an account or accounts with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to 105% of the Revolving L/C Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in Section 7.01(h) or 7.01(i), the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind. The Borrower also shall deposit cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph as and to the extent required by Section 2.11(b). Each such deposit pursuant to this paragraph or pursuant to Section 2.11(b) shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account and the Borrower hereby grants the Administrative Agent a security interest in such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of (i) for so long as an Event of Default shall be continuing, the Administrative Agent and (ii) at any other time, the Borrower, in each case, in Permitted Investments and at the risk and expense of the Borrower, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for L/C Disbursements for which the Issuing Bank has not been reimbursed, together with related fees, costs and customary processing charges, and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the Revolving L/C Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Lenders with Revolving L/C Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total Revolving L/C Exposure), be applied to satisfy other Secured Obligations. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three (3) Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder pursuant to Section 2.11(b), such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower as and to the extent that, after giving effect to such return, the Borrower would remain in compliance with Section 2.11(b) and no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(k)

Revolving L/C Exposure Determination. Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount or stated amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the stated amount of such Letter of Credit available to be drawn at such time; provided that with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any Letter of Credit Agreement related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the available amount thereof, the amount or stated amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the maximum amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum amount is available to be drawn at such time.

(l)

Issuing Bank Reports to the Administrative Agent. Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank shall, in addition to its notification obligations set forth elsewhere in this Section 2.05, report in writing to the Administrative Agent (i) periodic activity (for such period or recurrent periods as shall be requested by the Administrative Agent) in respect of Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, including all issuances, extensions and amendments, all expirations and cancelations and all disbursements and reimbursements, (ii) reasonably prior to the time that such Issuing Bank issues, amends or extends any Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment or extension, and the stated amount of the Letters of Credit issued, amended or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment or extension (and whether the amounts thereof shall have changed), (iii) on each

[[5947695]]

Business Day on which such Issuing Bank makes any L/C Disbursement, the date and amount of such L/C Disbursement, (iv) on any Business Day on which the Borrower fails to reimburse an L/C Disbursement required to be reimbursed to such Issuing Bank on such day, the date of such failure and the amount of such L/C Disbursement, and (v) on any other Business Day, such other information as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request as to the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank.

SECTION 2.06. Funding of Borrowings.

(a)

Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof solely by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 p.m., New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders; provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.04. Except in respect of the provisions of this Agreement covering the reimbursement of Letters of Credit, the Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the funds so received in the aforesaid account of the Administrative Agent to an account of the Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent in New York City or as otherwise agreed between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that ABR Revolving LoansFacility Borrowings, Swingline Borrowings and Eurodollar, Term SOFR Revolving Facility Borrowings and Daily Simple SOFR Revolving LoansFacility Borrowings made to finance the reimbursement of a L/C Disbursement and reimbursements as provided in Section 2.05(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Issuing Bank.

(b)

Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date (or in the case of an ABR Borrowing, prior to 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date of such Borrowing) of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section 2.06 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand (without duplication) such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

SECTION 2.07. Interest Elections.

(a)

Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a EurodollarTerm SOFR Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect, in the case of a Borrowing to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a EurodollarTerm SOFR Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section 2.07. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued.

[[5947695]]

(b)

To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.07, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by irrevocable written notice (via an Interest Election Request signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower) by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, this Section

2.07 shall not be construed to permit the Borrower to elect an Interest Period for EurodollarTerm SOFR

Loans that does not comply with Section 2.02(d).

(c)

Each Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i)

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

(ii)

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

(iii)

whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar, a Term SOFR Borrowing or, if applicable pursuant to Section 2.14, a Daily Simple SOFR Borrowing; and

(iv)

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

(d)

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

(e)

If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a EurodollarTerm SOFR Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period, such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the written request (including a request through electronic means) of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing, (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a EurodollarTerm SOFR Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each EurodollarTerm SOFR Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

(c)

The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Revolving Facility Commitments or the Term Loan Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section 2.08 at least three (3) Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the applicable Class of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.08 shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Revolving Facility Commitments or the Term Loan Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or other transactions specified therein, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of any of the Commitments under any Facility shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments under any Facility shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments under such Facility.

SECTION 2.09. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

(a)

(i) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Facility Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Facility Loan made to the Borrower on the Maturity Date and (ii) the Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (A) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Term Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Term Loan of such Lender to the Borrower on such dates and in such amounts as provided in Section 2.10 and (B) to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan made to the Borrower on the earlier of the Maturity Date and the fifth (5th) Business Day after such Swingline Loan is made or such other date as agreed to in writing between the Borrower and the Swingline Lender; provided that on each date that a Revolving Facility Borrowing (other than a Borrowing that is required to finance the reimbursement of an L/C Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.05(e)) is made by the Borrower, the Borrower shall repay all Swingline Loans then outstanding and the proceeds of any such Borrowing shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to repay any Swingline Loans outstanding.

(b)

Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

(c)

The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Facility and the Type thereof and the Interest Period (if any) applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable

[[5947695]]

(d)

The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section 2.09 shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e)

Any Lender may request that Loans made by it to the Borrower be evidenced by a promissory note substantially in the form of Exhibit E-1 or Exhibit E-2, as applicable. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in such form. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

SECTION 2.10. Notice of Repayment of Loans and Amortization of Term Loans.

(a)

Prior to any repayment of any Borrowing under any Facility hereunder, the Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings under the applicable Facility to be repaid and shall notify the Administrative Agent (and in the case of repayment of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender) in writing of such selection not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, (i) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, one (1) Business Day before the scheduled date of such repayment and, (ii) in the case of a EurodollarTerm SOFR Borrowing, three (3) Business Days before the scheduled date of such repayment and (iii) in the case of a Daily Simple SOFR Borrowing, five (5) Business Days before the scheduled date of such repayment.

Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the repayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be repaid; provided that, if a notice of repayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.08, then such notice of repayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.08. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to an outstanding Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the applicable Lenders of the contents thereof.

(b)

The Borrower shall repay Term Loan Borrowings in quarterly principal installments as follows (each such day referred to in the immediately succeeding clauses (i) through (iii), a “Term Loan Installment Date”): (i) on the last day of the first (1st) full calendar quarter ending after the Effective Date and the last day of each of the three (3) calendar quarters ending immediately thereafter, a quarterly principal installment in an aggregate principal amount for each such date equal to 0.625% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans made on the Effective Date; (ii) on the last day of each of the twelve (12) calendar quarters ending after the last calendar quarter referred to in clause (i), a quarterly principal installment in an aggregate principal amount for each such date equal to 1.25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans made on the Effective Date; and (iii) on the last day of each of the calendar quarters ending after the last calendar quarter referred to in clause (ii) and prior to the Maturity Date, a quarterly principal installment in an aggregate principal amount for each such date equal to 1.875% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans made on the Effective Date (in each of the foregoing cases, as adjusted from time to time pursuant to Sections 2.11(a) and 2.11(e)). To the extent not previously repaid, all unpaid Term Loans shall be paid in full by the Borrower on the Maturity Date.

[[5947695]]

SECTION 2.11. Prepayment of Loans.

(a)

The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (but subject to the last sentence hereof), in an aggregate principal amount that is an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum or, if less, the amount outstanding, subject to prior notice in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.10(a). Each prepayment of a Revolving Facility Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Revolving Facility Loans included in the prepaid Revolving Facility Borrowing, and each voluntary prepayment of a Term Loan Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Term Loans included in the prepaid Term Loan Borrowing and against the remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect of the Term Loans of the applicable Class as directed by the Borrower (or, in the absence of such direction, in direct order of maturity). Prepayments shall be accompanied by (i) accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13 and (ii) any break funding payments required by Section 2.16.

(b)

If, on any date, the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that the Total Revolving Facility Credit Exposures then outstanding exceeds the aggregate Revolving Facility Commitments of the Lenders on such date, the Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal amount of any Revolving Facility Loans (or deposit cash collateral in an account with the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.05(j)) in an aggregate amount equal to such excess. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice of any prepayment required under this Section 2.11(b) to the Borrower and the Lenders.

(c)

In the event and on each occasion that any Net Cash Proceeds are received by or on behalf of Holdings, the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries in respect of any Prepayment Event, the Borrower shall, within five (5) Business Days after such Net Cash Proceeds are so received (or, in the case of a Prepayment Event described in clause (c) of the definition of such term, on the date such Net Cash Proceeds are so received), prepay the Term Loans as set forth in Section 2.11(e) below in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds in excess of any applicable threshold amount set forth in the definition of the term “Prepayment Event”; provided that, in the case of any event described in clause

(a) or (b) of the definition of the term “Prepayment Event”, (i) if the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Financial Officer to the effect that the Borrower or its relevant Subsidiaries intend to apply the Net Cash Proceeds from such event (or a portion thereof specified in such certificate), within 365 days after receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds, to reinvest in assets used or useful in the business (excluding inventory) of the Borrower and/or the Subsidiaries, and certifying that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then no prepayment shall be required pursuant to this paragraph in respect of the Net Cash Proceeds specified in such certificate; provided further that to the extent of any such Net Cash Proceeds therefrom that have not been so applied by the end of such 365-day period (or within a period of 180 days thereafter if by the end of such initial 365-day period the Borrower or one or more Subsidiaries shall have entered into an agreement with an unaffiliated third party to acquire such assets with such Net Cash Proceeds), at which time a prepayment shall be required in an amount equal to such Net Cash Proceeds that have not been so applied.

(d)

[Reserved].

(e)

Except as otherwise provided in any Incremental Term Loan Amendment and subject to Section 2.11(g), each mandatory prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(c) shall be applied ratably to each Class of Term Loans then outstanding. With respect to each Class of Term Loans, all mandatory prepayment amounts pursuant to Section 2.11(c) in respect thereof shall be applied ratably, subject to Section 2.11(g), to the Term Loans included in each prepaid Term Loan Borrowing and against the remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect of the Term Loans of the applicable Class as directed by the Borrower (or, in the absence of such direction, in direct order of maturity).

[[5947695]]

(f)

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.11 to the contrary, (i) to the extent that any or all of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Prepayment Event described in clause (a) or (b) of the definition of such term by a Foreign Subsidiary giving rise to a prepayment event under Section 2.11(c) (a “Foreign Subsidiary Asset Sale Recovery Event”) are prohibited, restricted or delayed by applicable local law, rule or regulation from being repatriated to the United States, an amount equal to the portion of such Net Cash Proceeds so affected will not be required to be paid by the Borrower in respect of the Term Loans at the times provided in this Section 2.11 so long as the applicable local law, rule or regulation will not permit repatriation to the United States (the Borrower hereby agreeing to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to promptly take all commercially reasonable actions required by the applicable local law, rule or regulation to permit such repatriation), and once such repatriation of any of such affected Net Cash Proceeds would be permitted under the applicable local law, rule or regulation, the Borrower will promptly (and in any event not later than five (5) Business Days after the date that such repatriation would be permitted under applicable local law, rule or regulation) prepay the Term Loans in an amount equal to such Net Cash Proceeds (net of any additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof), which amount shall be applied to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.11 to the extent otherwise provided herein or (ii) to the extent that the Borrower has determined in good faith that repatriation of any of or all Net Cash Proceeds from such Foreign Subsidiary Asset Sale Recovery Event could reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse tax consequence to the Borrower or the Subsidiaries with respect to such Net Cash Proceeds, the Borrower shall have no obligation to repay an amount equal to such Net Cash Proceeds so affected until such time that such amounts could be repatriated without incurring such material adverse tax consequence, and once any of such affected Net Cash Proceeds is able to be repatriated to the United States without such material adverse tax consequence, the Borrower will promptly (and in any event not later than five (5) Business Days after such repatriation would cease to incur such material adverse tax consequence) prepay the Term Loans in an amount equal to such Net Cash Proceeds (net of any additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof), which amount shall be applied to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.11 to the extent otherwise provided herein.

(g)

The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any mandatory prepayment of Term Loans required to be made pursuant to Section 2.11(c) at least five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period as is reasonably practicable) prior to the date of such prepayment. Each such notice shall specify the date of such prepayment and provide a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Term Lender of the contents of any such prepayment notice and of such Term Lender’s ratable portion of such prepayment (based on such Lender’s pro rata share of each relevant Class of Term Loans). Any Term Lender may elect, by delivering written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City Timetime, one (1) Business Day after the date of such Term Lender’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent regarding such prepayment, that the full amount of any mandatory prepayment otherwise required to be made with respect to the Term Loans held by such Term Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(c) not be made (such declined amounts, the “Retained Declined Proceeds”). If a Term Lender fails to deliver the notice setting forth such rejection of a prepayment to the Administrative Agent within the time frame specified above or such notice fails to specify the principal amount of the Term Loans to be rejected, any such failure will be deemed an acceptance of the total amount of such mandatory prepayment of Term Loans. In the event that the aggregate amount of Retained Declined Proceeds is greater than U.S.$0, such amount shall be retained by the Borrower.

SECTION 2.12. Fees.

(a)

The Borrower agrees to pay to each Revolving Facility Lender, through the Administrative Agent, a commitment fee (a “Commitment Fee”) on the average daily amount of the

[[5947695]]

Available Unused Revolving Commitment of such Lender during the immediately preceding quarter (or other period commencing with the Effective Date and ending with the date on which the last of the Revolving Facility Commitment of such Lender shall be terminated) at the rate per annum set forth under the caption “Commitment Fee Rate” in the definition of “Applicable Margin” herein. Such Commitment Fee shall accrue during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the date on which such Revolving Facility Commitment terminates. Commitment Fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable in arrears on the fifteenth (15th) day following such last day and on the date on which the Revolving Facility Commitments of all the Lenders shall be terminated as provided herein, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date. All Commitment Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day and the last day of each period but excluding the date on which the Revolving Facility Commitments terminate) in a year of 360 days. For the purpose of calculating any Lender’s Commitment Fee, the outstanding Swingline Loans during the period for which such Lender’s Commitment Fee is calculated shall be deemed to be zero.

(b)

The Borrower from time to time agrees to pay to each Revolving Facility Lender, through the Administrative Agent, a fee (an “L/C Participation Fee”) on such Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of the average daily amount of the Revolving L/C Exposure (excluding the portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed L/C Disbursements), during the quarter ending on such last day (or shorter period commencing with the Effective Date or ending with the later of the date on which the Revolving Facility Commitments shall be terminated and the Revolving L/C Exposure shall be reduced to zero) at the rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for EurodollarTerm SOFR Revolving Facility Borrowings effective for each day in such period. The Borrower from time to time agrees to pay to the Issuing Bank, for its own account, (x) a fronting fee in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank at the request of the Borrower for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to and including the termination of such Letter of Credit (computed at a rate equal to 0.125% per annum of the average daily stated amount of such Letter of Credit), plus (y) the Issuing Bank’s standard fees and commissions with respect to the issuance, amendment, cancellation, negotiation, transfer, presentment or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of any L/C Disbursement thereunder (collectively, “Issuing Bank Fees”). L/C Participation Fees and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on the fifteenth (15th) day following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving Facility Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Facility Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other Issuing Bank Fees payable to an Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within ten

(10) days after demand. All L/C Participation Fees and Issuing Bank Fees that are payable on a per annum basis shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) in a year of 360 days.

(c)

The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Administrative Agent, the fees payable to it as set forth in the Fee Letter in the amounts and at the times specified therein (the “Administrative Agent Fees”).

(d)

The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, (i) the ticking fees payable to the Lenders as set forth in the Fee Letter in the amounts and at the times specified therein (the “Ticking Fees”) and (ii) the upfront fees payable to the Lenders as set forth in the Fee Letter in the amounts and at the times specified therein (the “Upfront Fees”).

(e)

All Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in Dollars and in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, if and as appropriate, among the Lenders, except that

[[5947695]]

Issuing Bank Fees shall be paid directly to the Issuing Bank. Once paid, none of the Fees shall be refundable under any circumstances.

(a)

The Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each ABR Loan (including each Swingline Loan) at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

(b)

The Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each EurodollarTerm SOFR Loan at the Adjusted LIBO RateTerm SOFR for the Interest Period in effect for such EurodollarTerm SOFR Loan plus the Applicable Margin.

(c)

The Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Daily Simple SOFR Loan, if applicable pursuant to Section 2.14, at the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR plus the Applicable Margin.

(d)

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice to the Borrower (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 9.08 requiring the consent of “each Lender affected thereby” for reductions in interest rates), declare that (provided that such declaration shall be deemed to have been automatically made upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under Section 7.01(h) or 7.01(i)): (i) all Loans shall bear interest at 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loans as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section

2.13 or (ii) in the case of any other amount outstanding hereunder, such amount shall accrue at 2% plus (A) the rate applicable to such fee or other obligation, if any, as provided hereunder or (B) otherwise, the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section 2.13; provided that this paragraph (cd) shall not apply to any Event of Default that has been waived by the Lenders pursuant to Section 9.08.

(e)

(d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable by the Borrower in arrears (i) on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan, (ii) in the case of Revolving Facility Loans, upon termination of the Revolving Facility Commitments and (iii) in the case of the Term Loans, on the Maturity Date; provided that (A) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (cd) of this Section 2.13 shall be payable on demand, (B) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan prior to the end of the Revolving Facility Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (C) in the event of any conversion of any EurodollarTerm SOFR Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(f)

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

(g)

(f) Interest in respect of Loans shall be paid in Dollars.

[[5947695]]

SECTION 2.14. Alternate Rate of Interest.

(a)

Subject to paragraph (b) of this Section 2.14, if prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:

(i)

the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) (A) prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Term SOFR Borrowing, that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO RateTerm SOFR for such Interest Period (including by means of an Interpolated Rate or because the LIBO ScreenTerm SOFR Reference Rate is not available or published on a current basis); provided that no Benchmark Transition Event shall have occurred or

(B) at suchany time, that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR; or

(ii)

the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders (A) prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Term SOFR Borrowing, that the Adjusted LIBO RateTerm SOFR for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period or (B) at any time, that the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost of such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in any Daily Simple SOFR Borrowing;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or fax or other electronic communications as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until (x) the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, with respect to the relevant Benchmark and (Ay) the Borrower delivers a new Interest Election Request in accordance with the terms of Section 2.07 or a new Borrowing Request in accordance with the terms of Section 2.03, any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a EurodollarTerm SOFR Borrowing shall be ineffective, and (B) if any Borrowing Request that requests a EurodollarTerm SOFR Borrowing, such shall instead be deemed to be an Interest Election Request or a Borrowing shall be made asRequest, as applicable, for an ABR Borrowing. Furthermore, if any EurodollarTerm SOFR Loan is outstanding on the date of the Borrower’s receipt of the notice from the Administrative Agent referred to in this Section 2.14(a) with respect to the LIBO RateAdjusted Term SOFR applicable to such EurodollarTerm SOFR Loan, then, until (x) the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist with respect to the relevant Benchmark and (y) such Borrower delivers a new Interest Election Request in accordance with the terms of Section 2.07 or a new Borrowing Request in accordance with the terms of Section 2.03, any Term SOFR Loan shall, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), such Loan shall be converted, convert to, and shall constitute, an ABR Loan on such day.

(b)

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event, an Early Opt-In Election or an Other Benchmark Rate Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (A) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (a) or (b) of the definition of the term “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (B) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance

[[5947695]]

with clause (cb) of the definition of the term “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document and subject to the proviso below in this paragraph if a Term SOFR Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then the applicable Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any other Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that this clause (ii) shall not be effective unless the Administrative Agent has delivered to the Lenders and the Borrower a Term SOFR Notice. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to deliver a Term SOFR Notice after the occurrence of a Term SOFR Transition Event and may do so in its sole discretion.

(ii)

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

(iii)

(iv) The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (A) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, an Early Opt-In Election or an Other Benchmark Rate Election, as applicable, (B) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (C) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (D) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 2.14(b)(viv) and (E) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.14, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.14.

(iv)

(v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (A) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR or the LIBO Rate) and either (x) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (y) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of the term “Interest Period” for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove

[[5947695]]

such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (B) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause

(A) above either (x) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (y) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of the term “Interest Period” for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(v)

(vi) Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request for a EurodollarTerm SOFR Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of EurodollarTerm SOFR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any request for a EurodollarTerm SOFR Borrowing into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to ABR Loans. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Alternate Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Alternate Base Rate. Furthermore, if any EurodollarTerm SOFR Loan is outstanding on the date of the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to the Adjusted Term SOFR, then, until such time as a Benchmark Replacement is implemented pursuant to this Section 2.14, any Term SOFR Loan shall, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), such Loan shall, be converted to, and shall constitute, an ABR Loan on such day.

(i)

impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, compulsory loan requirement, insurance charge or other assessment, special deposit, liquidity or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or the Issuing Bank;

(ii)

impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the Londonapplicable offshore interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein (except for Taxes); or

(iii)

subject any Recipient 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;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to the Administrative Agent or such Lender or such other Recipient of making, continuing, converting into or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan to the Borrower or to increase the cost to the Administrative Agent, such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Administrative Agent, such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient hereunder, whether of principal, interest or otherwise, then the Borrower will pay to the Administrative Agent, such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Administrative Agent, such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient, as applicable, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent, such

[[5947695]]

Lender or the Issuing Bank (which determination shall be made in good faith (and not on an arbitrary or capricious basis) and generally consistent with similarly situated customers of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as applicable, under agreements having provisions similar to this Section 2.15, after consideration of such factors as the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as applicable, then reasonably determines to be relevant).

(b)

If any Lender or the Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of or any of the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank (which determination shall be made in good faith (and not on an arbitrary or capricious basis) and generally consistent with similarly situated customers of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as applicable, under agreements having provisions similar to this Section 2.15, after consideration of such factors as the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as applicable, then reasonably determines to be relevant).

(c)

A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.15 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as applicable, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

(d)

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

SECTION 2.16. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any EurodollarTerm SOFR Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default or as a result of any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.11), (b) the conversion of any EurodollarTerm SOFR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any EurodollarTerm SOFR Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.10 and is revoked in accordance therewith) or (d) the assignment of any EurodollarTerm SOFR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall

[[5947695]]

compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to be the amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue a Eurodollar Loan, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits in Dollars of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

SECTION 2.17. Taxes.

(a)

Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any 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 the 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 2.17) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b)

Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for, Other Taxes.

(c)

Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.17, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(d)

Indemnification by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall indemnify each Recipient, within 10 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 2.17) 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 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.

(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 any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative

[[5947695]]

Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04(c) 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 paragraph (e).

(f)

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 and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.17(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) 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, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person:

(A)

any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), an executed IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding tax;

(B)

(1)

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 executed IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or

[[5947695]]

reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(2)

an executed IRS Form W-8ECI;

(3)

in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to the Borrower described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) an executed IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or

(4)

to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, 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 F-2 or Exhibit F-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 F-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 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 or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. Federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; 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 Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA 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.

[[5947695]]

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 Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(g)

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 2.17 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17), 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 2.17 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out- of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) 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 paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(h)

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

(i)

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

SECTION 2.18. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs.

(a)

Unless otherwise specified, the Borrower shall make each payment or prepayment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of L/C Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time, in each case on the date when due or the date fixed for any prepayment hereunder, in immediately available funds, without condition or deduction for any defense, recoupment, set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made (i) in Dollars and (ii) to the Administrative Agent to the applicable account designated to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent, except payments to be made directly to the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.05 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. Any payment required to be made by the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be deemed to have been made by the time required if such Administrative Agent shall, at or before such time, have taken the necessary

[[5947695]]

steps to make such payment in accordance with the regulations or operating procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by such Administrative Agent to make such payment.

(b)

All payments and any proceeds of Collateral received by the Administrative Agent

(i) not constituting either (A) a specific payment of principal, interest, fees or other sum payable under the Loan Documents (which shall be applied as specified by the Borrower), or (B) a mandatory prepayment (which shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.11) or (ii) after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent so elects or the Required Lenders so direct, shall be applied ratably first, to pay any fees, indemnities, or expense reimbursements then due to the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank from the Borrower (other than in connection with Banking Services Obligations or Swap Agreement Obligations), second, to pay any fees, indemnities, or expense reimbursements then due to the Lenders from the Borrower (other than in connection with Banking Services Obligations or Swap Agreement Obligations), third, to pay interest then due and payable on the Loans ratably, fourth, to prepay principal on the Loans and unreimbursed L/C Disbursements, to pay any amounts owing in respect of Swap Agreement Obligations and Banking Services Obligations up to and including the amount most recently provided to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.24 (with amounts allocated to the Term Loans of any Class applied to reduce the subsequent scheduled repayments of the Term Loans of such Class to be made pursuant to Section 2.10 in inverse order of maturity) and to pay an amount to the Administrative Agent equal to one hundred five percent (105%) of the aggregate Revolving L/C Exposure, to be held as cash collateral for such Obligations, ratably, and fifth, to the payment of any other Secured Obligation due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender from the Borrower or any other Loan Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, unless so directed by the Borrower, or unless a Default is in existence, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall apply any payment which it receives to any EurodollarTerm SOFR Loan of a Class, except (i) on the expiration date of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or (ii) in the event, and only to the extent, that there are no outstanding ABR Loans of the same Class and, in any such event, the Borrower shall pay the break funding payment required in accordance with Section 2.16. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply and reverse and reapply any and all such proceeds and payments to any portion of the Secured Obligations.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Secured Obligations arising under Banking Services Obligations or Swap Agreement Obligations shall be excluded from the application described above and paid in clause sixth if the Administrative Agent has not received written notice thereof, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may have reasonably requested from the applicable provider of such Banking Services or Swap Agreements.

(c)

If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim, through the application of any proceeds of Collateral or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Term Loans, Revolving Facility Loans or participations in L/C Disbursements or Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Term Loans, Revolving Facility Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements and Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Term Loans, Revolving Facility Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements and Swingline Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Term Loans, Revolving Facility Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements and Swingline Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph (c) shall not be construed to apply

[[5947695]]

to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or under any other Loan Document (for the avoidance of doubt, as in effect from time to time) or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in L/C Disbursements and Swingline Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph (c) shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(d)

Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including any date that is fixed for prepayment by notice from the Borrower to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.11(a)), notice from the Borrower that the Borrower will not make such payment or prepayment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the applicable Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as applicable, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the applicable Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as applicable, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(e)

If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(c), 2.05(d), 2.05(e), 2.06(b), 2.18(d) or 9.05(d), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender and for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Bank to satisfy such Lender’s obligations to it under such Section until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account over which the Administrative Agent shall have exclusive control as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under any such Section; in the case of each of clauses (i) and

(ii) above, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.

SECTION 2.19. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a)

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

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

(b)

If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if any Loan Party is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority

[[5947695]]

for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then such Loan Party may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Sections 2.15 or 2.17) and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) such Loan Party shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and if a Revolving Facility Commitment is being assigned, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or such Loan Party (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Nothing in this Section 2.19 or in any other provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to prejudice any rights that any Loan Party may have against any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender. Each party hereto agrees that (i) an assignment required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Acceptance by reference pursuant to an Approved Electronic Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and such parties are participants), and

(ii) the Lender required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto in order for such assignment to be effective and shall be deemed to have consented to and be bound by the terms thereof; provided that, following the effectiveness of any such assignment, the other parties to such assignment agree to execute and deliver such documents necessary to evidence such assignment as reasonably requested by the applicable Lender, provided that any such documents shall be without recourse to or warranty by the parties thereto.

(c)

If any Lender (such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”) has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination which pursuant to the terms of Section 9.08 requires the consent of all of the Lenders affected and with respect to which the Required Lenders shall have granted their consent, then provided no Event of Default then exists, the Borrower shall have the right (unless such Non-Consenting Lender grants such consent) to replace such Non-Consenting Lender by requiring such Non-Consenting Lender to assign its Loans, and its Commitments hereunder to one or more assignees reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, provided that (i) all Obligations of the Borrower owing to such Non-Consenting Lender being replaced shall be paid in full to such Non- Consenting Lender concurrently with such assignment, and (ii) the replacement Lender shall purchase the foregoing by paying to such Non-Consenting Lender a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon. In connection with any such assignment the Borrower, Administrative Agent, such Non-Consenting Lender and the replacement Lender shall otherwise comply with Section 9.04.

SECTION 2.20. Increase in Revolving Facility Commitments and/or Incremental Term

Loans.

(a)

At any time, the Borrower may by written notice to the Administrative Agent elect to request an increase to the existing Revolving Facility Commitments (any such increase, the “New Revolving Facility Commitments”) and/or to enter into one or more tranches of term loans (any such tranche, the “Incremental Term Loans” and together with the New Revolving Facility Commitments, if

[[5947695]]

any, the “New Commitments”), by an amount not in excess of U.S.$100,000,000 in the aggregate or a lesser amount that is an integral multiple of U.S.$1,000,000 (or such lesser amount agreed by the Administrative Agent) and not less than U.S.$5,000,000. Such notice shall specify the date (an “Increased Amount Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that the New Commitments and, in the case of Incremental Term Loans, the date for borrowing, as applicable, be made available. The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of the identity of each Lender or other financial institution reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (each, a “New Revolving Facility Lender,” an “Incremental Term Lender” or generally, a “New Lender”; provided that no Ineligible Institution may be a New Lender) to whom the New Commitments have been (in accordance with the prior sentence) allocated and the amounts of such allocations; provided that any Lender approached to provide all or a portion of the New Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide a New Commitment. Such New Commitments shall become effective as of such Increased Amount Date, and in the case of Incremental Term Loans, shall be made on such Increased Amount Date; provided that (i) the conditions set forth in paragraphs of (b) and (c) of Section 4.02 shall be satisfied or waived by the Required Lenders on such Increased Amount Date before or after giving effect to such New Commitments and Loans; (ii) such increase in the Revolving Facility Commitments and/or the Incremental Term Loans shall be evidenced by one or more joinder agreements executed and delivered to Administrative Agent by each New Lender, as applicable, and each shall be recorded in the register, each of which shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and subject to the requirements set forth in Section 2.17(f); and (iii) the Borrower shall make any payments required pursuant to Section 2.16 in connection with the provisions of the New Commitments; provided that, with respect to any Incremental Term Loans incurred for the primary purpose of financing a Limited Conditionality Acquisition (“Acquisition-Related Incremental Term Loans”), clause (i) of this sentence shall be deemed to have been satisfied so long as (A) as of the date of execution of the related Limited Conditionality Acquisition Agreement by the parties thereto, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result from entry into such Limited Conditionality Acquisition Agreement, (B) as of the date of the borrowing of such Acquisition-Related Incremental Term Loans, no Event of Default under Section 7.01(a), 7.01(b), 7.01(h) or 7.01(i) is in existence immediately before or after giving effect (including on a Pro Forma Basis) to such borrowing and to any concurrent transactions and any substantially concurrent use of proceeds thereof, (C) the representations and warranties of the Loan Parties set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the date of execution of the applicable Limited Conditionality Acquisition Agreement by the parties thereto, except to the extent any such representations or warranties are expressly limited to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such specified earlier date (provided that no materiality qualifier set forth in this subclause (C) shall be applicable to any representations and warranties that already are qualified or modified by materiality in the text thereof) and

[[5947695]]

(c)

On any Increased Amount Date on which Incremental Term Loans are effected and borrowed, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, (i) each Incremental Term Loan shall be deemed for all purposes a Loan made hereunder, (ii) each Incremental Term Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and (iii) the Incremental Term Loans (A) shall rank pari passu in right of payment and with respect to security with the Revolving Facility Loans and any then-existing Class of Term Loans, (B) shall not mature earlier than the Maturity Date (but may have amortization prior to such date; provided that the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Incremental Term Loans shall be no shorter than the longest remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any then-existing Class of Term Loans (without giving effect to any prepayment thereof that would otherwise modify the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such then-existing Class of Term Loans)), (C) shall not be guaranteed by any Person that is not a Loan Party or secured by any assets other than the Collateral and (D) shall be treated substantially the same as (and in any event no more favorably than) the Revolving Facility Loans and any then-existing Class of Term Loans (provided that (x) the terms and conditions applicable to any Incremental Term Loans maturing after the Maturity Date may provide for additional or different financial or other covenants or prepayment requirements applicable only during periods after the Maturity Date, (y) the Incremental Term Loans may be priced, and may include fees, differently than any then-existing Class of Term Loans and (z) any Incremental Term Loans may participate in any mandatory prepayment under Section 2.11(c) on a pro rata basis (or on less than pro rata basis, but not on a greater than pro rata basis) with any then-existing Class of Term Loans).

The Incremental Term Loan Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.20. Nothing contained in this Section 2.20 shall constitute, or otherwise be deemed to be, a commitment on the part of any Lender to increase any of its Commitments hereunder, or provide Incremental Term Loans, at any time.

SECTION 2.21. Illegality. If any Lender reasonably determines that any change in law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted after the Effective Date that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make or maintain any Eurodollar Loans, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligations of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Loans or to convert ABR Borrowings to Eurodollar

[[5947695]]

Borrowings, as the case may be, shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), convert all such Eurodollar Borrowings of such Lender to ABR Borrowings, on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Borrowings to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.[Reserved].

SECTION 2.22. [Reserved].

SECTION 2.23. Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 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 the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving L/C Exposure and Swingline Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments without giving effect to clause (d) below. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by

[[5947695]]

a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.23 shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto;

(c)

such Defaulting Lender’s Commitments, Revolving Facility Credit Exposure and Term Loans shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders or any other requisite Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 9.08); provided that, except as otherwise provided in Section 9.08, this clause (c) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of any amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of each Lender or each Lender adversely affected thereby;

(d)

if any Swingline Exposure or Revolving L/C Exposure exists at the time a Revolving Facility Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

(i)

all or any part of such Swingline Exposure and Revolving L/C Exposure of such Defaulting Lender (other than the portion of such Swingline Exposure referred to in clause

(b) of the definition of such term) shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders that are Revolving Facility Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Facility Percentages but only to the extent that such reallocation does not, as to any non-Defaulting Lender, cause such non- Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Facility Credit Exposure to exceed its Revolving Facility Commitment and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied at such time;

(ii)

if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within one (1) Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Swingline Exposure and (y) second, cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Bank only the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving L/C Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.05(j) for so long as such Revolving L/C Exposure is outstanding;

(iii)

if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving L/C Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving L/C Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving L/C Exposure is cash collateralized;

(iv)

if the Revolving L/C Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Sections 2.12(a) and 2.12(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ respective Revolving Facility Percentages; and

(v)

if any Defaulting Lender’s Revolving L/C Exposure is neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder, all letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.12(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving L/C Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Bank until such Revolving L/C Exposure is cash collateralized and/or reallocated; and

(e)

so long as any Revolving Facility Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Revolving Facility Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders that are Revolving Facility Lenders

[[5947695]]

and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.23(d), and Swingline Exposure related to any such newly made Swingline Loan or Revolving L/C Exposure related to any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.23(d)(i) (and such Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein).

If (i) a Bankruptcy Event or a Bail-In Action with respect to a Lender Parent shall occur following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue or (ii) the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Bank has a good faith belief that any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrower or such Lender, satisfactory to the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder.

In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Revolving Facility Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure and Revolving L/C Exposure of the Revolving Facility Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Revolving Facility Commitment and on such date such Revolving Facility Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Facility Loans of the other Revolving Facility Lenders (other than Swingline Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Revolving Facility Lender to hold such Revolving Facility Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage in respect of the Revolving Facility.

SECTION 2.24. Banking Services and Swap Agreements. Each Lender or Affiliate thereof providing Banking Services for, or having Swap Agreements with, any Loan Party or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of a Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, promptly after entering into such Banking Services or Swap Agreements, written notice setting forth the aggregate amount of all Banking Services Obligations and Swap Agreement Obligations of such Loan Party or Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof to such Lender or Affiliate (whether matured or unmatured, absolute or contingent). In furtherance of that requirement, each such Lender or Affiliate thereof shall furnish the Administrative Agent, from time to time after a significant change therein or upon a request therefor, a summary of the amounts due or to become due in respect of such Banking Services Obligations and Swap Agreement Obligations. The most recent information provided to the Administrative Agent shall be used in determining which tier of the waterfall, contained in Section 2.18(b), such Banking Services Obligations and/or Swap Agreement Obligations will be placed.

then, and in every such event (other than an event with respect to the Borrower described in paragraph (h) or (i) above), and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such event, the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, shall, by notice to the Borrower, take any or all of the following actions, at the same or different times: (i) terminate forthwith the Commitments, (ii) declare the Loans then outstanding to be forthwith due and payable in whole or in part, whereupon the principal of the Loans so declared to be due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon and any unpaid accrued Fees and all other Secured Obligations of the Borrower accrued hereunder and under any other Loan Document, shall become forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding and (iii) demand cash collateral pursuant to Section 2.05(j); and in any event with respect to the Borrower described in paragraph (h) or (i) above, the Commitments shall automatically terminate, the principal of the Loans then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon and any unpaid accrued Fees and all other Secured Obligations of the Borrower accrued hereunder and under any other Loan Document, shall automatically become due and payable and the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have made a demand for cash collateral to the full extent permitted under Section 2.05(j), without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders shall, exercise any rights and remedies provided to the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents or at law or equity, including all remedies provided under the UCC.

SECTION 7.02. Right to Cure. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 7.01, in the event that the Borrower fails (or, but for the operation of this Section 7.02, would fail) to comply with the requirements of the Financial Covenants, until the expiration of the tenth (10th) Business Day subsequent to the date the certificate calculating the Financial Covenants is required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.04(c) with respect to the applicable fiscal quarter or fiscal year (the “Cure Expiration Date”), Holdings shall have the right, for the benefit of the Borrower, so long as the proceeds of such Specified Cure Contribution (as defined below) are contributed to the Borrower, to issue Eligible Equity

117

[[5947695]]

Interests for cash or to receive a cash contribution in respect of its equity constituting Eligible Equity Interests (the “Cure Right”), and upon the receipt by the Borrower of such cash (the “Specified Cure Contribution”) the Financial Covenants shall be recalculated giving effect to the following pro forma adjustments in a manner acceptable to the Administrative Agent:

(i)

EBITDA shall be increased, solely for the purpose of determining compliance with the Financial Covenants and not for any other purpose under this Agreement, by an amount equal to the Specified Cure Contribution; and

(ii)

if, after giving effect to the foregoing recalculations, the Borrower shall then be in compliance with the requirements of the Financial Covenants, the Borrower shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of the Financial Covenants as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable breach or default of the Financial Covenants that had occurred shall be deemed cured for purposes of this Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the Cure Right may not be exercised more than two (2) times in any period of four (4) consecutive fiscal quarters of Holdings and may not be exercised in any two (2) consecutive fiscal quarters, (ii) the Cure Right shall be exercised no more than five (5) times over the term of this Agreement, (iii) the Specified Cure Contribution shall be no greater than the amount required for purposes of complying with the Financial Covenants, (iv) any Specified Cure Contribution shall be used as a prepayment of the Loans under Section 2.11(a), (v) after the occurrence of an Event of Default resulting from a failure to comply with the requirements of any Financial Covenant, if Holdings or the Borrower have given the Administrative Agent notice that Holdings or the Borrower intend to cure such failure with the proceeds of a Specified Cure Contribution, neither the Lenders nor the Administrative Agent shall exercise any rights or remedies under Section 7.01 (or under any other Loan Document) available during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default on the basis of any actual or purported failure to comply with any Financial Covenant until such failure is not cured on or prior to the Cure Expiration Date, and (vi) if a failure to comply with any Financial Covenant has occurred and is continuing, no Lender or Issuing Bank shall be required to make any Revolving Facility Loan or Swingline Loan or issue, amend (other than any amendment that does not increase the stated amount of such Letter of Credit) or extend any Letter of Credit unless and until the Specified Cure Contribution is actually received.

ARTICLE VIII

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

SECTION 8.01. Authorization and Action.

(a)

Each Lender and the Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints the entity named as Administrative Agent in the heading of this Agreement and its successors and assigns to serve as the administrative agent and collateral agent under the Loan Documents, and each Lender and the Issuing Bank authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent under such agreements and to exercise such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. In addition, to the extent required under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States of America, each of the Lenders, on behalf of itself and any of its Affiliates that are Secured Parties, and the Issuing Bank hereby grants to the Administrative Agent any required powers of attorney to execute any Collateral Agreement governed by the laws of such jurisdiction on such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s behalf. Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender and the Issuing Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, each of the Loan Documents to which the Administrative Agent is a party,

118

[[5947695]]

and to exercise all rights, powers and remedies that the Administrative Agent may have under such Loan Documents.

(b)

As to any matters not expressly provided for herein and in the other Loan Documents (including enforcement or collection), 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 written instructions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary, pursuant to the terms in the Loan Documents), and, unless and until revoked in writing, such instructions shall be binding upon each Lender and the Issuing Bank; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that (i) the Administrative Agent in good faith believes exposes it to liability unless the Administrative Agent receives an indemnification and is exculpated in a manner satisfactory to it from the Lenders and the Issuing Bank with respect to such action or (ii) is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or applicable law, including any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any requirement of law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any requirement of law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors; provided further that the Administrative Agent may seek clarification or direction from the Required Lenders prior to the exercise of any such instructed action and may refrain from acting until such clarification or direction has been provided. Except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to Holdings, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Administrative Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

(c)

In performing its functions and duties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent is acting solely on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank (except in limited circumstances expressly provided for herein relating to the maintenance of the Register), and its duties are entirely mechanical and administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(i)

the Administrative Agent does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation or duty or any other relationship as the agent, fiduciary or trustee of or for any Lender, the Issuing Bank or any other holder of Secured Obligations other than as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, regardless of whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (and it is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” (or any similar term) herein or in any other Loan Document with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary duty or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law, and that such term is used as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties); additionally, each Lender and each Issuing Bank agrees (and each other Secured Party will be deemed, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Collateral and of the Guarantees of the Secured Obligations provided under the Loan Documents, to have agreed) that it will not assert any claim against the Administrative Agent based on an alleged breach of fiduciary duty by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby; and

119

[[5947695]]

(ii)

nothing in this Agreement or any Loan Document shall require the Administrative Agent to account to any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any other Secured Party for any sum or the profit element of any sum received by the Administrative Agent for its own account.

(d)

The Administrative Agent may perform any of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any of their respective duties and exercise their respective rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities pursuant to this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agent except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agent.

(e)

Neither the Arranger nor the Documentation Agent shall have obligations or duties whatsoever in such capacity under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and shall incur no liability hereunder or thereunder in such capacity, but each such Person shall have the benefit of the indemnities provided for hereunder.

(f)

In case of the pendency of any proceeding with respect to any Loan Party under any federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or any reimbursement obligation in respect of any L/C Disbursement shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on any Loan Party) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(i)

to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Disbursements and all other Secured Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (including any claim under Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.15, 2.17 and 9.05) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(ii)

to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender, the Issuing Bank and each other Secured Party to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, the Issuing Bank or the other Secured Parties, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due to it, in its capacity as the Administrative Agent, under the Loan Documents (including under Section 9.05). 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 or the Issuing Bank any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Secured Obligations or the rights of any Lender or the Issuing Bank or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or the Issuing Bank in any such proceeding.

(g)

The provisions of this Article VIII are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, and, except solely to the extent of the Borrower’s rights to consent pursuant to and subject to the conditions set forth in this Article VIII, none of Holdings, the Borrower or

120

[[5947695]]

any Subsidiary, or any of their respective Affiliates, shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary under any such provisions. Each Secured Party, whether or not a party hereto, will be deemed, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Collateral and of the Guarantees of the Secured Obligations provided under the Loan Documents, to have agreed to the provisions of this Article VIII.

SECTION 8.02. Administrative Agent’s Reliance, Indemnification, Etc.

(a)

Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be (i) liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties under or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (A) with the consent of or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in the Loan Documents) or (B) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct (such absence to be presumed unless otherwise determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with the Administrative Agent’s reliance on any Electronic Signature transmitted by fax, emailed .pdf or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page) or for any failure of any Loan Party to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder.

(b)

The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any (i) notice of any of the events or circumstances set forth or described in Section 5.05 unless and until written notice thereof stating that it is a “notice under Section 5.05” in respect of this Agreement and identifying the specific clause under said Section is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, or (ii) notice of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice thereof (stating that it is a “notice of Default” or a “notice of an Event of Default”) is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, a Lender or an Issuing Bank. Further, the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (A) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (B) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (C) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (D) the sufficiency, validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (E) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items (which on their face purport to be such items) expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or satisfaction of any condition that expressly refers to the matters described therein being acceptable or satisfactory to the Administrative Agent or (F) the creation, perfection or priority of Liens on the Collateral. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be liable for, or be responsible for any Liabilities, cost or expense suffered by Holdings, the Borrower, any Subsidiary, any Lender or the Issuing Bank as a result of, any determination of the Revolving Facility Credit Exposure, any of the component amounts thereof or any portion thereof attributable to each Lender or the Issuing Bank.

(c)

Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent (i) may treat the payee of any promissory note as its holder until such promissory note has been assigned in accordance with Section 9.04, (ii) may rely on the Register to the extent set forth in Section 9.04(b), (iii) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel to the Holdings or the Borrower), 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

121

[[5947695]]

by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts, (iv) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender or the Issuing Bank and shall not be responsible to any Lender or the Issuing Bank for any statements, warranties or representations made by or on behalf of any Loan Party in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (v) in determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the Issuing Bank, may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the Issuing Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or the Issuing Bank sufficiently in advance of the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit and (vi) shall be entitled to rely on, and shall incur no 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 writing may be a fax, any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) or any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper party or parties (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the maker thereof).

SECTION 8.03. Posting of Communications.

(a)

Holdings and the Borrower agree that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make any Communications available to the Lenders and the Issuing Bank by posting the Communications on IntraLinks™, DebtDomain, SyndTrak, ClearPar or any other electronic platform chosen by the Administrative Agent to be its electronic transmission system (the “Approved Electronic Platform”).

(b)

Although the Approved Electronic Platform and its primary web portal are secured with generally-applicable security procedures and policies implemented or modified by the Administrative Agent from time to time (including, as of the Effective Date, a user ID/password authorization system) and the Approved Electronic Platform is secured through a per-deal authorization method whereby each user may access the Approved Electronic Platform only on a deal-by-deal basis, each of the Lenders, the Issuing Bank, Holdings and the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure, that the Administrative Agent is not responsible for approving or vetting the representatives or contacts of any Lender that are added to the Approved Electronic Platform, and that there may be confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution. Each of the Lenders, the Issuing Bank, Holdings and the Borrower hereby approves distribution of the Communications through the Approved Electronic Platform and understands and assumes the risks of such distribution.

(c)

THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE COMMUNICATIONS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. THE APPLICABLE PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS, OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE COMMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY THE APPLICABLE PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE ARRANGER OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE RELATED PARTIES (COLLECTIVELY, “APPLICABLE PARTIES”) HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY LOAN PARTY, ANY LENDER, THE ISSUING BANK OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ANY LOAN PARTY’S OR THE

122

[[5947695]]

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM.

(d)

Each Lender and the Issuing Bank agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that Communications have been posted to the Approved Electronic Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank agrees (i) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (which could be in the form of electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s (as applicable) email address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and (ii) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such email address.

(e)

Each of the Lenders, the Issuing Bank, Holdings and the Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but (except as may be required by applicable law) shall not be obligated to, store the Communications on the Approved Electronic Platform in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s generally applicable document retention procedures and policies.

(f)

Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document.

SECTION 8.04. The Administrative Agent Individually. With respect to its Commitment, Loans and Letters of Credit, the Person serving as the Administrative Agent shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and is subject to the same obligations and liabilities as and to the extent set forth herein for any other Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be. The terms “Issuing Bank”, “Lenders”, “Required Lenders”, “Majority Lenders” and any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender, the Issuing Bank or as one of the Required Lenders or Majority Lenders, as applicable. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with, Holdings, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing as if such Person was not acting as the Administrative Agent and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders or the Issuing Bank.

SECTION 8.05. Successor Administrative Agent.

(a)

The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Borrower, whether or not a successor Administrative Agent has been appointed. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York or an Affiliate of any such bank. In either case, such appointment shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Borrower (which approval may not be unreasonably withheld and shall not be required while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing). Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to, and become vested with, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent. Upon the acceptance of appointment as Administrative Agent by a successor Administrative Agent, the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Prior to any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the retiring

123

[[5947695]]

Administrative Agent shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to assign to the successor Administrative Agent its rights as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents.

(b)

Notwithstanding paragraph (a) of this Section 8.05, in the event no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its intent to resign, the retiring Administrative Agent may give notice of the effectiveness of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Borrower, whereupon, on the date of effectiveness of such resignation stated in such notice, (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided that, solely for purposes of maintaining any security interest granted to the Administrative Agent under any Security Document for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to be vested with such security interest as collateral agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and continue to be entitled to the rights set forth in such Security Document, and, in the case of any Collateral in the possession of the Administrative Agent, shall continue to hold such Collateral, in each case until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed and accepts such appointment in accordance with this Section 8.05 (it being understood and agreed that the retiring Administrative Agent shall have no duty or obligation to take any further action under any Security Document, including any action required to maintain the perfection of any such security interest), and (ii) the Required Lenders shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent; provided that (A) all payments required to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Person other than the Administrative Agent shall be made directly to such Person and (B) all notices and other communications required or contemplated to be given or made to the Administrative Agent shall directly be given or made to each Lender and the Issuing Bank. Following the effectiveness of the Administrative Agent’s resignation from its capacity as such, the provisions of this Article VIII and Section 9.05, as well as any exculpatory, reimbursement and indemnification provisions set forth in any other Loan Document, shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent and in respect of the matters referred to in the proviso under clause (i) above.

SECTION 8.06. Acknowledgements of Lenders and Issuing Bank.

(a)

Each Lender represents and warrants that (i) the Loan Documents set forth the terms of a commercial lending facility, (ii) it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans and in providing other facilities set forth herein as may be applicable to such Lender or Issuing Bank, in each case in the ordinary course of its business, and not for the purpose of purchasing, acquiring or holding any other type of financial instrument (and each Lender and each Issuing Bank agrees not to assert a claim in contravention of the foregoing), (iii) it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Arranger or any other Lender or Issuing Bank, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement as a Lender, and to make, acquire or hold Loans hereunder and (iv) it is sophisticated with respect to decisions to make, acquire and/or hold commercial loans and to provide other facilities set forth herein, as may be applicable to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, and either it, or the Person exercising discretion in making its decision to make, acquire and/or hold such commercial loans or to provide such other facilities, is experienced in making, acquiring or holding such commercial loans or providing such other facilities. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Arranger or any other Lender or Issuing Bank, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information (which may contain material, non-public information within the meaning

124

[[5947695]]

of the United States securities laws concerning Holdings, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing) as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

(b)

Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement on the Effective Date, or delivering its signature page to an Assignment and Acceptance or any other Loan Document pursuant to which it shall become a Lender hereunder, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Loan Document and each other document required to be delivered to, or be approved by or satisfactory to, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders on the Effective Date.

(c)

(i) Each Lender and Issuing Bank hereby agrees that (A) if the Administrative Agent notifies such Lender or Issuing Bank that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Lender or Issuing Bank from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, a “Payment”) were erroneously transmitted to such Lender or Issuing Bank (whether or not known to such Lender or Issuing Bank), and demands the return of such Payment (or a portion thereof), such Lender or Issuing Bank shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender or Issuing Bank to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect, and (B) to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender or Issuing Bank shall not assert, and hereby waives, as to the Administrative Agent, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Payments received, including any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or Issuing Bank under this Section 8.06(c) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(ii)

Each Lender and Issuing Bank hereby further agrees that if it receives a Payment from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (A) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Payment (a “Payment Notice”) or (B) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, it shall be on notice, in each such case, that an error has been made with respect to such Payment. Each Lender and Issuing Bank agrees that, in each such case, or if it otherwise becomes aware a Payment (or portion thereof) may have been sent in error, such Lender or Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender or Issuing Bank to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.

(iii)

Each of Holdings and the Borrower hereby agrees, on behalf of itself and each other Loan Party, that (A) in the event an erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Lender or Issuing Bank that has received such Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Lender or Issuing

125

[[5947695]]

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

(iv)

Each party’s obligations under this Section 8.06(c) shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender or Issuing Bank, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations under any Loan Document.

SECTION 8.07. Collateral Matters. (a) Except with respect to the exercise of setoff rights in accordance with Section 9.06 or with respect to a Secured Party’s right to file a proof of claim in an insolvency proceeding, no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce any Guarantee of the Secured Obligations, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms thereof. In its capacity as such, the Administrative Agent is a “representative” of the Secured Parties within the meaning of the term “secured party” as defined in the UCC. In the event that any Collateral is hereafter pledged by any Person as collateral security for the Secured Obligations, the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized, and hereby granted a power of attorney, to execute and deliver on behalf of the Secured Parties any Loan Documents necessary or appropriate to grant and perfect a Lien on such Collateral in favor of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties.

(b)

In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation thereof, no Banking Services Agreement or Swap Agreement will create (or be deemed to create) in favor of any Secured Party that is a party thereto any rights in connection with the management or release of any Collateral or of the obligations of any Loan Party under any Loan Document. By accepting the benefits of the Collateral, each Secured Party that is a party to any such Banking Services Agreement or Swap Agreement, as applicable, shall be deemed to have appointed the Administrative Agent to serve as administrative agent and collateral agent under the Loan Documents and agreed to be bound by the Loan Documents as a Secured Party thereunder, subject to the limitations set forth in this paragraph.

(c)

The Secured Parties irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Sections 6.02(d), 6.02(e), 6.02(f), 6.02(g), 6.02(h), 6.02(i) and 6.02(k). The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Administrative Agent’s Lien thereon or any certificate prepared by any Loan Party in connection therewith, nor shall the Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders or any other Secured Party for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.

SECTION 8.08. Credit Bidding. The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Secured Obligations (including by 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 U.S. Bankruptcy Code, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, or any similar laws in any other jurisdictions to which a Loan Party

126

[[5947695]]

is subject, or (b) at any other sale, foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Secured Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid by the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders on a ratable basis (with Secured Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that shall vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) for the asset or assets so purchased (or for the equity interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are issued in connection with such purchase). In connection with any such bid, (i) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles and to assign any successful credit bid to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, (ii) each of the Secured Parties’ ratable interests in the Secured Obligations which were credit bid shall be deemed without any further action under this Agreement to be assigned to such vehicle or vehicles for the purpose of closing such sale, (iii) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by the Administrative Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or equity interests thereof, shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by, and the governing documents shall provide for, control by the vote of the Required Lenders or their permitted assignees under the terms of this Agreement or the governing documents of the applicable acquisition vehicle or vehicles, as the case may be, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Required Lenders contained in Section 9.08 of this Agreement), (iv) the Administrative Agent on behalf of such acquisition vehicle or vehicles shall be authorized to issue to each of the Secured Parties, ratably on account of the relevant Secured Obligations which were credit bid, interests, whether as equity, partnership interests, limited partnership interests or membership interests, in any such acquisition vehicle and/or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle, all without the need for any Secured Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (v) to the extent that Secured 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 Secured Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of Secured Obligations credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Secured Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Secured Parties pro rata with their original interest in such Secured Obligations and the equity interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of such Secured Obligations shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action. Notwithstanding that the ratable portion of the Secured Obligations of each Secured Party are deemed assigned to the acquisition vehicle or vehicles as set forth in clause (ii) above, each Secured Party shall execute such documents and provide such information regarding the Secured Party (and/or any designee of the Secured Party which will receive interests in or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle) as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in connection with the formation of any acquisition vehicle, the formulation or submission of any credit bid or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such credit bid.

(C)

(w) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (x) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (y) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub- sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (z) 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 Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, or

(D)

such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender.

(b)

In addition, unless sub-clause (A) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or such Lender has not provided another representation, warranty and covenant as provided in sub-clause (D) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (i) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (ii) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, the Arranger or any of their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of Holdings, the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that none of the Administrative Agent or the Arranger or any of their respective Affiliates is a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).

SECTION 8.10. Flood Laws. JPMorgan has adopted internal policies and procedures that address requirements placed on federally regulated lenders under the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994 and related legislation (the “Flood Laws”). JPMorgan, as administrative agent or collateral agent on a syndicated facility, will post on the applicable electronic platform (or otherwise distribute to each Lender in the syndicate) documents that it receives in connection with the Flood Laws. However, JPMorgan reminds each Lender and Participant in the facility that, pursuant to the Flood Laws, each federally regulated Lender (whether acting as a Lender or Participant in the facility) is responsible for assuring its own compliance with the flood insurance requirements.

SECTION 9.02. Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower and the other Loan Parties herein, in the other Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Lenders and the Issuing Bank and shall survive the making by the Lenders of the Loans, the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the issuance of the Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by such Persons or on their behalf, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or L/C Disbursement or any Fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not been terminated. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreements contained herein, indemnification and reimbursement obligations contained herein (including pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.17 and 9.05) shall survive the payment in full of the principal and interest hereunder, the expiration of the Letters of Credit and the termination of the Commitments or this Agreement.

SECTION 9.03. Integration; Binding Effect. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.

Nothing

131

[[5947695]]

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 (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section 9.04) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b)

(i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more Persons (other than an Ineligible Institution) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments, participations in Letters of Credit and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of:

(A)

the Borrower (provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after the Borrower has received written notice thereof); provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee;

(B)

the Administrative Agent;

(C)

the Swingline Lender; provided that no consent of the Swingline Lender shall be required for an assignment of all or any portion of a Term Loan Commitment or a Term Loan to a Lender, an Affiliate of Lender or an Approved Fund.

(D)

and the Issuing Bank; provided that no consent of the Issuing Bank shall be required for an assignment of all or any portion of a Term Loan Commitment or a Term Loan to a Lender, an Affiliate of Lender or an Approved Fund.

(ii)

Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(A)

except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of the applicable Class or contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds that equal at least U.S.$1,000,000 in the aggregate, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than U.S.$5,000,000, in the case of assignments under the Revolving Facility and U.S.$1,000,000, in the case of assignments under the Term Loan Facility unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent; provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(B)

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, provided that this clause shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of one Facility;

132

[[5947695]]

(C)

the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (x) an Assignment and Acceptance or (y) to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Acceptance by reference pursuant to an Approved Electronic Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and the parties to the Assignment and Acceptance are participants, together with a processing and recordation fee of U.S.$3,500; provided that no such recordation fee shall be due in connection with an assignment to an existing Lender or Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund of such Lender or an assignment by the Administrative Agent and provided further that only one such fee shall be payable in connection with contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds; and

(D)

the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Borrower and its Affiliates and their Related Parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws.

For the purposes of this Section 9.04(b), the terms “Approved Fund” and “Ineligible Institution” have the following meanings:

“Approved Fund” shall mean any Person (other than a natural person or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course and that is administered or managed by a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.

“Ineligible Institution” shall mean (a) a natural person, (b) a Defaulting Lender or its Lender Parent,

(c)

Holdings, the Borrower, any of the Subsidiaries or any Affiliates of any of the foregoing, (d) a company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person or relative(s) thereof, or (e) a Disqualified Lender, unless in the case of this clause (e), the Borrower otherwise consents in writing in its sole and absolute discretion, in which case the applicable Person will not be considered a Disqualified Lender or an Ineligible Institution for the purpose of the applicable assignment or participation.

(iii)

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance (or an agreement incorporating by reference a form of Assignment and Acceptance posted on the Approved Electronic Platform) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, 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 Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance 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 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.05). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section 9.04.

133

[[5947695]]

(iv)

The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance (or an agreement incorporating by reference a form of Assignment and Acceptance posted on the Approved Electronic Platform) delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans and L/C Disbursements 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 Holdings, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank 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, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by Holdings, the Borrower, the Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(v)

Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance (or an agreement incorporating by reference a form of Assignment and Acceptance posted on the Approved Electronic Platform) executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 9.04 and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section 9.04, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(c), 2.05(d), 2.05(e), 2.06(b), 2.18(d) or 9.05(d), the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph. Each assigning Lender and the assignee, by its execution and delivery of an Assignment and Acceptance, shall be deemed to have represented to the Administrative Agent that all written consents required by this Section 9.04 with respect thereto (other than the consent of the Administrative Agent) have been obtained and that such Assignment and Acceptance is otherwise duly completed and in proper form (it being acknowledged that the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or obligation (and shall incur no liability) with respect to obtaining (or confirming the receipt) of any such written consent or with respect to the form of (or any defect in) such Assignment and Acceptance, any such duty and obligation being solely with the assigning Lender and the assignee), and each assignee, by its execution and delivery of an Assignment and Acceptance, shall be deemed to have represented to the assigning Lender and the Administrative Agent that such assignee is not an Ineligible Institution.

(c)

Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”), other than an Ineligible Institution, in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged; (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations; and (iii) Holdings, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument (oral or written) pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that

134

[[5947695]]

such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.08(b) that affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.17(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.17(f) 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 paragraph (b) of this Section 9.04; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.18 and 2.19 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section 9.04; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.15 or 2.17, 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 Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.19(b) with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.06 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other 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 or Section 1.163-5(b) of the Proposed United States Treasury Regulations (or, in each case, any amended or successor version). 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.

(d)

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, and this Section 9.04 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(e)

Disqualified Lenders.

(i)

No assignment or participation shall be made to any Person that was a Disqualified Lender as of the date (the “Trade Date”) on which the assigning Lender entered into a binding agreement to sell and assign or grant a participation in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to such Person (unless the Borrower has consented to such assignment or participation in writing in its sole and absolute discretion, in which case such Person will not be considered a Disqualified Lender for the purpose of such assignment or participation). For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any assignee or Participant that becomes a Disqualified Lender after the applicable Trade Date (including as a result of the delivery of a written supplement to the list of “Disqualified Lenders” referred to in, the definition of “Disqualified Lender”), (A) such assignee or Participant shall not retroactively be disqualified from becoming a Lender or

135

[[5947695]]

Participant and (B) the execution by the Borrower of an Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignee will not by itself result in such assignee no longer being considered a Disqualified Lender. Any assignment or participation in violation of this clause (e)(i) shall not be void, but the other provisions of this clause (e) shall apply.

(ii)

SECTION 9.13. Counterparts; Electronic Execution.

In addition, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and Information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and the Commitments. “Information” shall mean all information received from Holdings or the Borrower relating to Holdings, the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries or its or their business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by Holdings or the Borrower.

SECTION 9.17. Release of Liens and Guarantees. In the event that any Loan Party conveys, sells, assigns, transfers or otherwise disposes of all or any portion of any of the Equity Interests or assets of any Subsidiary Loan Party or any of its other assets (other than the Equity Interests of the Borrower) to a Person that is not (and is not required to become) a Loan Party in a transaction not prohibited by Section 6.05, the Administrative Agent shall, in each case, promptly (and the Lenders hereby authorize

the Administrative Agent to) take such action and execute any such documents as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower and at the Borrower’s expense to release any Liens created by any Loan Document in respect of such Equity Interests or assets, and, in the case of a disposition of the Equity Interests of any Subsidiary Loan Party that is not the Borrower in a transaction permitted by Section 6.05 and as a result of which such Subsidiary Loan Party would cease to be a Subsidiary, terminate such Subsidiary Loan Party’s obligations under its Guarantee.

Each of Holdings and the Borrower agrees that it will not assert any claim against any Credit Party based on an alleged breach of fiduciary duty by such Credit Party in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Additionally, each of Holdings and the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that no Credit Party is advising Holdings or the Borrower as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting, regulatory or any other matters in any jurisdiction. Each of Holdings and the Borrower shall consult with its own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Credit Parties shall have no responsibility or liability to Holdings or the Borrower with respect thereto.

(b)

Each of Holdings and the Borrower further acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges the Subsidiaries’ understanding, that each Credit Party, together with its Affiliates, is a full service securities or banking firm engaged in securities trading and brokerage activities as well as providing investment banking and other financial services. In the ordinary course of business, any Credit Party may provide investment banking and other financial services to, and/or acquire, hold or sell, for its own accounts and the accounts of customers, equity, debt and other securities and financial instruments (including bank loans and other obligations) of, Holdings, the Borrower, the Subsidiaries and other companies with which Holdings, the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries may have commercial or other relationships. With respect to any securities and/or financial instruments so held by any Credit Party or any of its customers, all rights in respect of such securities and financial instruments, including any voting rights, will be exercised by the holder of the rights, in its sole discretion.

147

[[5947695]]

(c)

In addition, each of Holdings and the Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges the Subsidiaries’ understanding, that each Credit Party and its Affiliates may be providing debt financing, equity capital or other services (including financial advisory services) to other companies in respect of which Holdings, the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries may have conflicting interests regarding the transactions described herein and otherwise. No Credit Party will use confidential information obtained from Holdings or the Borrower by virtue of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or its other relationships with Holdings or the Borrower in connection with the performance by such Credit Party of services for other companies, and no Credit Party will furnish any such information to other companies. Each of Holdings and the Borrower also acknowledges that no Credit Party has any obligation to use in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, or to furnish to Holdings, the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries, confidential information obtained from other companies.

SECTION 9.23. Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. 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 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:

(a)

the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and

(b)

the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(i)

a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(ii)

a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent entity, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

(iii)

the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.

SECTION 9.24. Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Swap Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties 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):

In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC

148

[[5947695]]

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