For the avoidance of doubt, if the Borrower has exercised its option under the first sentence of this
clause (g)
, and any Default or Event of Default occurs following the date the definitive agreements for the applicable Limited Condition Acquisition were entered into and prior to the consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition, any such Default or Event of Default shall be deemed not to have occurred or be continuing solely for purposes of determining whether any action being taken in connection with such Limited Condition Acquisition is permitted hereunder.

If the Borrower has made an LCA Election for any Limited Condition Acquisition, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio or basket availability with respect to the incurrence of Indebtedness or Liens, or the making of Restricted Payments, mergers, the conveyance, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower, the prepayment, redemption, purchase, defeasance or other satisfaction of Indebtedness, or the designation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary on or following the relevant LCA Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Acquisition is consummated or the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Acquisition is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition, any such ratio or basket shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming such Limited Condition Acquisition and other transactions in connection therewith (including any
Incurrence
incurrence
of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated;
provided
that the calculation of Consolidated Net Income (and any defined term a component of which is Consolidated Net Income) shall not include the Consolidated Net Income of the Person or assets to be acquired in any Limited Condition Acquisition for usages other than in connection with the applicable transaction pertaining to such Limited Condition Acquisition until such time as such Limited Condition Acquisition is actually consummated (

Calculation Date
”), then such calculation shall be made giving
pro
forma
effect to such incurrence, assumption, guarantee, redemption, retirement, defeasance or extinguishment of Indebtedness or entry into, termination or cancellation of such Qualified Contract (other than the completion thereof in accordance with its terms) as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable Test Period;
provided

pro
forma
effect to any redemption, retirement or extinguishment of Indebtedness in connection with such event; and
(b)
for purposes of making the computation referred to above, if any Investments (including the Transactions), brand acquisitions, Dispositions or designations of Unrestricted Subsidiaries or Restricted Subsidiaries are made (or committed to be made pursuant to a definitive agreement) subsequent to the commencement of the period for which such calculation is being made but on or prior to or simultaneously with the relevant Calculation Date, then such calculation shall be made giving
pro
forma
effect to such Investments, brand acquisitions, Dispositions and designations as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable Test Period in a manner consistent, where applicable, with the
pro
forma
adjustments set forth in
clause (n)
of the definition of “Consolidated EBITDA” and
clause (o)
of the definition of “Consolidated Net Income”. If since the beginning of such period any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged with or into the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries since the beginning of such period shall have made any Investment, brand acquisitions or Disposition that would have required adjustment pursuant to this provision, then such calculation shall be made giving
pro
forma
effect thereto for such Test Period as if such Investment, brand acquisitions or Disposition had occurred at the beginning of the applicable Test Period.

Section 1.4
. If any basket is exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in applicable currency exchange rates after the last time such basket was utilized, such basket will not be deemed to have been exceeded solely as a result of such fluctuations in currency exchange rates. For purposes of determining the Consolidated Net First Lien Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated Net Secured Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated Net Total Leverage Ratio, the Financial Covenant Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, amounts denominated in a currency other than Dollars will be converted to Dollars for the purposes of (A) testing the financial covenant under
Section 7.1

), at the Spot Rate as of the date of calculation, and will, in the case of Indebtedness, reflect the currency translation effects, determined in accordance with GAAP, of Hedge Agreements permitted hereunder for currency exchange risks with respect to the applicable currency in effect on the date of determination of the Dollar Equivalent of such Indebtedness.
1.5
Letter of Credit and Acceptance Amounts
. Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit or Acceptance at any time shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent of the stated amount of such Letter of Credit or Acceptance, as applicable, in effect at such time;
provided
,
however
, that with respect to any Letter of Credit or Acceptance that, by its terms or the terms of the Application or any other document, agreement or instrument entered into by the applicable Issuing Lender or Local Fronting Lender, as applicable, and the Borrower with respect thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit or Acceptance, as applicable, shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit or Acceptance, as applicable, after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time.
1.6
Covenants
. For purposes of determining compliance with
Section 7
(other than
Section 7.6
), in the event that an item or event (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of one or more of the categories described in a particular covenant contained in
Section 7
(other than
Section 7.6
), the Borrower may, in its sole discretion, classify and reclassify or later divide, classify or reclassify (as if incurred at such later time) such item or event (or any portion thereof) and may include the amount and type of such item or event (or any portion thereof) in one or more of the relevant clauses or subclauses, in each case, within such covenant and will be entitled to include such item or event (or any portion thereof) only in one of the relevant clauses or subclauses (or any portion thereof). In the case of an item or event (or any portion thereof) that is incurred pursuant to or otherwise included in a clause or subclause (or any portion thereof) of a covenant that does not rely on criteria based on the Consolidated Net First Lien Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated Net Secured Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated Net Total Leverage Ratio, the Financial Covenant Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio or the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (any such item or event, a “
Fixed Basket Item or Event
” and any such clause, subclause or any portion thereof, a “
Fixed Basket
”) substantially concurrently with an item or event (or any portion thereof) that is incurred pursuant to or otherwise included in a clause or subclause (or any portion thereof) of a covenant that relies on criteria based on such financial ratios or tests (any such item or event, a “
Ratio Basket Item or Event
” and any such clause, subclause or any portion thereof, a “
Ratio Basket
”), such Ratio Basket Item or Event shall be treated as having been incurred or existing pursuant only to such Ratio Basket without giving pro forma effect to any such Fixed Basket Item or Event (other than a Fixed Basket Item or Event that relies on the term “Permitted Refinancing” or “Permitted Refinancing Obligations”) incurred pursuant to or otherwise included in a Fixed Basket substantially concurrently with such Ratio Basket Item or Event when calculating the amount that may be incurred or existing pursuant to any such Ratio Basket. Furthermore, (A) for purposes of
Section 7.2
, the amount of any Indebtedness denominated in any currency other than Dollars shall be calculated based on the applicable Spot Rate, in the case of such Indebtedness incurred (in respect of funded term Indebtedness) or committed (in respect of revolving or delayed draw Indebtedness), on the date that such Indebtedness was incurred (in respect of funded term Indebtedness) or committed (in respect of revolving or delayed draw Indebtedness);
provided
that if such Indebtedness is incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a currency other than Dollars (or in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced), and such refinancing would cause the applicable Dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the applicable Spot Rate on the date of such refinancing, such Dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed (i) the outstanding or committed principal amount, as applicable, of such Indebtedness being refinanced plus (ii) the aggregate amount of accrued interest, fees, underwriting discounts, premiums and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with such refinancing, (B) for purposes of
Sections 7.3
,
7.5
,
7.6
and
7.7
, the amount of any Liens, Dispositions, Restricted Payments and Investments, as applicable, denominated in any currency other than Dollars shall be calculated based on the applicable Spot Rate, (C) for purposes of any calculation under
Sections 7.2
and
7.3
, if the Borrower elects to give pro forma effect in such calculation to the entire committed amount of any proposed Indebtedness, whether or not then drawn, such committed amount may thereafter be borrowed and reborrowed, in whole or in part, from time to time, without further compliance with
Section 7.2
or
7.3
, but for so long as such Indebtedness is outstanding or in effect, the entire committed amount of such Indebtedness then in effect shall be included in any calculations under
Sections 7.2
and
7.3
, (D) any cash proceeds of Indebtedness shall be excluded as Unrestricted Cash and not netted for purposes of calculating any financial ratios and tests with respect to any substantially concurrent incurrence of a Ratio Basket Item or Event pursuant to a Ratio Basket and (E) any Fixed Basket Item or Event incurred pursuant to or otherwise included pursuant to a Fixed Basket based on Consolidated Total Assets shall be calculated based upon the Consolidated Total Assets at the time of such incurrence (it being understood that a Default shall be deemed not to have occurred solely to the extent that the Consolidated Total Assets after the time of such incurrence declines).

2.5
Procedure for Revolving Loan and Local Loan Borrowing
.
(a)
The Borrower may borrow under the
applicable
Revolving Commitments during the
applicable
Revolving Commitment Period on any Business Day;
provided
that the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable written notice (which notice must be received by the Administrative Agent
(i)
in the case of Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars, prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, three Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, or
(ii)
in the case of ABR Loans, prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the proposed Borrowing Date), specifying (v)
whether such Revolving Loans are Tranche A Revolving Loans or Tranche B Revolving Loans, (w)
the amount and Type of Revolving Loans to be borrowed, (x) the requested Borrowing Date, and (y) in the case of Eurocurrency Loans, the respective amounts of each such Type of Loan and the respective lengths of the initial Interest Period therefor;
provided
,
further
, that if the Borrower wishes to request Eurocurrency Loans having an Interest Period other than one, two, three or six months in duration as provided in the definition of “Interest Period,” the applicable notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. four Business Days prior to the requested date of such
Borrowing
borrowing
, conversion or continuation, whereupon the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the appropriate Lenders of such request and determine whether the requested Interest Period is acceptable to all of them
.
;
provided
,
further
, that notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to Tranche B Revolving Loans that are Eurocurrency Loans requested to be borrowed on the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date the Borrower may give the Administrative Agent notice one Business Day prior thereto.
Not later than 11:00 a.m., three Business Days before the requested date of such
Borrowing
borrowing
, conversion or continuation, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower (which notice may be by telephone) whether or not the requested Interest Period has been consented to by all the Lenders. Each borrowing by the Borrower under the Revolving Commitments shall be in an amount equal to (x) in the case of ABR Loans, $250,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (or, if the then aggregate
applicable
Available Revolving Commitments
of Revolving Lenders in respect of any Tranche
are less than $250,000, such lesser amount
with respect to borrowings under such Tranche
) and (y) in the case of Eurocurrency Loans, the Borrowing Minimum or a whole multiple of the Borrowing Multiple in excess thereof. Upon receipt of any such notice from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each
applicable
Revolving Lender thereof. Each
applicable
Revolving Lender will make the amount of its
pro
rata
share of each borrowing available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower at the Funding Office prior to 1:00 p.m. (or, in the case of ABR Loans being made pursuant to a notice delivered on the proposed Borrowing Date, 3:00 p.m.), New York City time, on the Borrowing Date requested by the Borrower in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent. Such borrowing will then be made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent crediting the account designated in writing by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by such Revolving Lenders and in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent. If no election as to the Type of a Revolving Loan is specified, then the requested Loan shall be an ABR Loan. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurocurrency Loan, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Each Swingline Loan shall be made in accordance with the procedures set forth in
Section 2.6
.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Borrower shall not request, and the Tranche A Lenders shall be under no obligation to fund, any Tranche A Revolving Loans unless the Tranche B Revolving Loans are outstanding in an amount equal to the Tranche B Availability as then in effect. For the avoidance of doubt, subject to Tranche A Availability, the foregoing sentence shall not impair the Borrower’s ability to request Letters of Credit, Swingline Loans, Local Loans and Acceptances in accordance with the terms hereof and irrespective of Tranche B Availability.
(b)
Each Local Borrower may request a borrowing of Local Loans under the aggregate
Tranche A
Revolving Commitments in Dollars or in the relevant Permitted Foreign Currency from the applicable Local Fronting Lender during the Revolving Commitment Period
with respect to the Tranche A Revolving Facility
on any Business Day by submitting an irrevocable written notice to the relevant Local Fronting Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), specifying
(i)
(i)
the aggregate principal amount of the relevant currency to be borrowed,
(ii)
(ii)
the requested Borrowing Date,
(iii)
(iii)
whether the Local Loans to be borrowed are to be (x) in the case of Local Loans denominated in Dollars, ABR Loans or Eurocurrency Loans or (y) in the case of Local Loans denominated in a Permitted Foreign Currency, Eurocurrency Loans or Local Rate Loans, or a combination thereof and, if a combination, the respective aggregate amount of each type of borrowing and
(iv)
(iv)
if the Local Loans to be borrowed are Eurocurrency Loans or (if it is customary in the relevant jurisdiction for Local Rate Loans to be subject to Interest Periods) Local Rate Loans, the length of the Interest Period or Interest Periods applicable thereto.
Any such notice of borrowing must be received by the relevant Local Fronting Lender prior to 11:00 a.m., local time, three Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date (or such shorter period prior thereto as such Local Fronting Lender may agree) in the case of Eurocurrency Loans, and on the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of ABR Loans or Local Rate Loans (with the presentation by any third party of any check or draft drawn on the account of the relevant Local Borrower or any other borrowing by way of overdraft being deemed to constitute a notice of borrowing of Local Rate Loans in the amount of such check, draft or other borrowing, to the extent that insufficient funds are then available for the payment thereof in the account of such Local Borrower with the relevant Local Fronting Lender);
provided
,
further
, that the Administrative Agent may, at any time and from time to time in its sole discretion, suspend the right of the Local Borrowers with respect to any one or more Permitted Foreign Currencies to borrow ABR Loans or Local Rate Loans on the basis of same-day notice by providing written notice of such suspension to the Company and the affected Local Borrowing Subsidiaries (with a copy to the relevant Local Fronting Lender) not less than two Business Days prior to the effectiveness thereof (or, during such time as any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, on the date of such effectiveness), in which event any such notice of borrowing (other than any notice of borrowing deemed to be made on account of a check, draft or other customary means of borrowing by way of overdraft drawn by such Local Borrower prior to the date of such notice of suspension) of ABR Loans or Local Rate Loans must (until such notice of suspension has been revoked by the Administrative Agent) be received by the Local Fronting Lender prior to 11:00 a.m., local time, one Business Day prior to the requested Borrowing Date. In the event that the relevant Local Fronting Lender determines on the requested Borrowing Date that the making of such requested Local Loan will not cause the Local Outstandings of such Local Fronting Lender to exceed the amount equal to its Currency Sublimit then in effect (in each case, as has been notified to such Local Fronting Lender by the Administrative Agent pursuant to
Section 2.30(b)
), such Local Fronting Lender will make the requested Local Loan available to the relevant Local Borrower, at the principal lending office of such Local Fronting Lender in the relevant jurisdiction, by 1:00 p.m., local time, on the requested Borrowing Date, in funds immediately available to such Local Borrower. Promptly following the making of each such Local Loan, such Local Fronting Lender shall provide notice to the Administrative Agent of the amount thereof. The minimum amount of each borrowing of Local Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount (not to exceed the relevant Currency Sublimit) to be mutually agreed upon by the relevant Local Fronting Lender and the relevant Local Borrower. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Section 2.5
, no Local Fronting Lender shall be obligated hereunder to advance any Local Loan by way of an overdraft, but rather shall provide overdrafts only if it elects (in its sole discretion) to do so.
2.6
Swingline Loans
.
(a)
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender, in reliance upon the agreements of the other
Tranche A
Revolving Lenders set forth in this
Section 2.6
, shall make Swingline Loans to the Borrower from time to time in Dollars during the Revolving Commitment Period
with respect to the Tranche A Revolving Facility
, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding $70,000,000, (ii) the aggregate
Tranche A
Revolving Extensions of Credit exceeding the
Tranche A
Availability then in effect;
provided
, that the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a Swingline Loan (i) to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan or (ii) if it shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that it has, or by making such Swingline Loan may have, Fronting Exposure. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow Swingline Loans. Each Swingline Loan shall be an ABR Loan.
(b)
To request a Swingline Loan, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender of such request by telephone (promptly confirmed by telecopy), not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day of a proposed Swingline Loan. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and specify (y) the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of the requested Swingline Loan, and (z) proper wire instructions for the same. Promptly after receipt by the Swingline Lender of any telephonic Swingline Loan notice, the Swingline Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such Swingline Loan notice and, if not, the Swingline Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swingline Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any
Tranche A
Revolving Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Swingline Loan (A) directing the Swingline Lender not to make such Swingline Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in
Section 2.6(a)
, or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in
Section 5.2
is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to the Borrower at its office by crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of the Swingline Lender in immediately available funds by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the requested date of such Swingline Loan. Swingline Loans shall be made in an amount equal to $100,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof.
(c)
The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to repay, without premium or penalty, any Swingline Loan, in whole or in part, upon giving written or telecopy notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by written or telecopy notice) to the Swingline Lender and to the Administrative Agent before 3:00 p.m., New York City time on the date of repayment at the Swingline Lender’s address for notices specified in the Swingline Lender’s administrative questionnaire. All principal payments of Swingline Loans shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the principal amount being repaid to the date of payment.
(d)
The Swingline Lender may and, at any time there shall be Swingline Loan outstanding for more than seven days, the Swingline Lender shall by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Business Day require the
Tranche A
Revolving Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which
Tranche A
Revolving Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each
Tranche A
Revolving Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s
Tranche A
Revolving Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each
Tranche A
Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Revolving Lender’s
Tranche A
Revolving Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each
Tranche A
Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the
Tranche A
Revolving Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever (
provided
, that such payment shall not cause such
Tranche A
Revolving Lender’s
Tranche A
Revolving Extensions of Credit to exceed such
Tranche A
Revolving Lender’s
Tranche A
Revolving Commitment). Each
Tranche A
Revolving Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in
Section 3.4
with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and
Section 3.4
shall apply,
mutatis mutandis
, to the payment obligations of the
Tranche A
Revolving Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the
Tranche A
Revolving Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, 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
Tranche A
Revolving Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.
(e)
If the Revolving Termination Date applicable to a Tranche shall have occurred at a time when other Tranches will remain outstanding, then on such Revolving Termination Date all then outstanding Swingline Loans with respect to such maturing Tranche shall be repaid in full on such date (and there shall be no adjustment to the participations in such Swingline Loans as a result of the occurrence of such Revolving Termination Date);
provided
, that, if on the occurrence of such Revolving Termination Date (after giving effect to any repayments of Revolving Loans and any reallocation as contemplated in
Section 3.4(d)
), (i) there shall exist sufficient unutilized
Tranche A
Revolving Commitments that will remain outstanding after the date thereof and (ii) the conditions set forth in
Sections 5.2(a)
and
5.2(b)
shall be satisfied at such time so that the respective outstanding Swingline Loans could be incurred pursuant to such
Tranche A
Revolving Commitments which will remain in effect after the occurrence of such Revolving Termination Date, then there shall be an automatic adjustment on such date of the participations in such Swingline Loans and the same shall be deemed to have been incurred solely pursuant to such
Tranche A
Revolving Commitments and such Swingline Loans shall not be so required to be repaid in full on such Revolving Termination Date.
(f)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event a
Tranche A
Revolving Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then such Defaulting Lender’s
Tranche A
Revolving Percentage in all outstanding Swingline Loans will automatically be reallocated among the
Tranche A
Revolving Lenders that are Non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata in accordance with each Non-Defaulting Lender’s
Tranche A
Revolving Percentage (calculated without regard to the Revolving Commitment of the Defaulting Lender), but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the
Tranche A
Revolving Extensions of Credit of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed the
Tranche A
Revolving Commitment of such Non-Defaulting Lender. If such reallocation cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, within five Business Days after written notice from the Administrative Agent or such longer period as the Administrative Agent shall agree, pay to the Administrative Agent an amount of cash equal to such Defaulting Lender’s
Tranche A
Revolving Percentage (calculated as in effect immediately prior to it becoming a Defaulting Lender) of the outstanding Swingline Loans (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to the first sentence of this
Section 2.6(f)
) to be applied to the repayment of such Swingline Loans. So long as there is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to lend any Swingline Loans if the sum of, without duplication, the Non-Defaulting Lenders’
Tranche A
Revolving Percentages of the outstanding
Tranche A
Revolving Loans, L/C Obligations, Local Loans and Acceptances, and their participations in Swingline Loans after giving effect to any such requested Swingline Loans would exceed the aggregate
Tranche A
Revolving Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders (such excess, “
Fronting Exposure
”).
2.7
Defaulting Lenders
.
(a)
Defaulting Lender Cure
. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit, Swingline Loans, and Local Loans or Acceptances, if applicable, to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable Facility (without giving effect to
Section 3.4(d)
), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender;
provided
that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and
provided
,
further
, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
(b)
Defaulting Lender Waterfall
. Any payment of principal, interest or other amounts (other than the payment of (i) commitment fees under
Section 2.9
, (ii) default interest under
Section 2.15(c)
and (iii) Letter of Credit fees under
Section 3.3
, which in each case shall be applied pursuant to the provisions of those Sections) received by the Administrative Agent for the account of any Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to
Section 8
or otherwise) shall be applied by the Administrative Agent as follows:
first

Section 9.7
;

Section 3.4(d)
) to any Issuing Lender, Local Fronting Lender or Swingline Lender hereunder;
third
, to be held as security for any L/C Shortfall (without duplication of any cash collateral provided by the Borrower pursuant to
Section 3.4(d)
) in a Cash Collateral Account;
fourth
, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement;
fifth
, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement;
sixth
, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders or the Swingline Lender as a result of any final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Issuing Lenders or the Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement;
seventh
, so long as no Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and
